Chapter 1573: Coax Mommy Back
Ever since they were almost a.s.sa.s.sinated that night, Gu Meng and Ling Hui had changed to a hotel with better security facilities.
The two of them locked themselves in the room and did not dare to go out.
They did not even dare to sleep too deeply at night.
This evening, Ling Hui had no choice but to go out because of the company’s matters.
Gu Meng was watching dramas alone in the hotel room.
Her phone suddenly rang.
Gu Meng took the phone and looked at the caller ID.
Her fan-like eyelashes fluttered.
Were her eyes fooling her? It was actually Ye Qing!
In the past two days, she had not left the hotel nor met him again.
He had lost his memory and forgotten her again. Even if they met, it would only make her sad!
She did not know why he was calling her, but when she thought of his indifferent gaze and cold expression, she was not in the mood to communicate with him anymore!
She hung up.
Putting down her phone, she planned to continue watching TV. But a few seconds later, her phone rang again.
Gu Meng frowned.
Without any hesitation, she hung up the call.
He did not continue calling.
But after a while, Little Gugu called.
Had it been Little Gugu trying to call her with Ye Qing’s phone?
Gu Meng could reject Ye Qing’s call, but she would never reject her son’s call.
What Gu Meng did not know was that it was Ye Qing who had asked Little Gugu to call her.
At this moment, Ye Qing and Little Gugu were in the living room of the palace. Ye Qing was standing in front of the French windows, his black eyes staring at Little Gugu and instructing him to put his phone on speaker mode.
The phone rang several times, but the call did not go through. Little Gugu mumbled, “Daddy, why do you always make Mommy unhappy? You always implicate me. When I called in the past, Mommy would answer after one or two rings.”
Ye Qing’s well-defined and handsome face darkened. “Stop talking nonsense.”
“You can’t handle Mommy and you have a favor to ask of me but you’re so fierce to me. How can there be such a father in this world?”
Ye Qing was speechless.
Fortunately, the call finally connected after a few rings.
Gu Meng’s voice came from the other end. “Little Gugu, have you eaten?”
“I haven’t eaten yet. I miss Mommy. Can I eat with Mommy? It’s okay if Mommy comes to the palace or I go and find you!”
Gu Meng did not dare to let Little Gugu come and find her. Who knew if she would be in danger? But neither did she want to go to the palace.The last time she went to the palace to look for Ye Qing, he had warned her not to try to attract his attention in the name of visiting her child. She had no reason to go and let him humiliate her.
“Little Gugu, I’m still a little busy recently and can’t eat with you for the time being. I’ll accompany you when I’m done, alright?”
Little Gugu glanced at Ye Qing, who was standing in front of the French windows, and mouthed, “Mommy doesn’t even want to see me anymore. What should I do?”
Ye Qing strode toward Little Gugu, took his phone, and said hoa.r.s.ely, “Xiaomeng, let me explain…”
Before he could finish, the call was hung up by the woman on the other end.
The atmosphere became extremely cold and silent.
Little Gugu looked at his father, whose expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and sighed silently. “Daddy, Mommy is such a good-tempered person, but she was angered by you. You must have done something bad.” With that said, Little Gugu stood up from the sofa and walked out.
Ye Qing looked at his small back and furrowed his eyebrows. “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to Brother Xiaojie’s house. Anyway, if you don’t coax Mommy back, I won’t acknowledge you as my father.”
Ye Qing’s expression darkened even more.
After Little Gugu left, Ye Qing instructed the butler with a dark expression to send Little Gugu to the Sihan’s palace.
Sitting on the sofa, he lit a cigarette and took a puff as he took out his phone to call Gu Meng again.
However, he could not get through.
Had she blocked him again?
…
Gu Meng was talking to Little Gugu when she suddenly heard Ye Qing’s voice. Her blood surged and she immediately hung up the call.
She had not heard what he had said on the other end of the call.
She thought that her heart was invincible.
However, she was still afraid that he would say something that would hurt her heart!
Gu Meng got up from the sofa and went to the bathroom to take a bath. She changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Life and death were up to fate!
Hiding in her room everyday and not coming out to exercise was not a solution either. She was so bored she was going to rot!
Gu Meng did not eat dinner and went to the revolving restaurant on the top floor of the hotel.
Sitting by the window, Gu Meng ordered some spaghetti.
She did not know if she was hallucinating, but she had the illusion that she was being stared at by a pair of eyes the moment she entered the restaurant.
Gu Meng looked around.
There was nothing suspicious.
Perhaps, the recent series of events had made her overly nervous and suspicious.
In a hidden private room on the second floor of the restaurant, Dai Xuan stared fixedly at the girl sitting by the window.
The girl had a pretty face with well-defined facial features. She had red lips and white teeth, her skin as fair as snow. She was wearing a long chiffon dress and looked lively and pretty. However, her big black eyes were dull and she looked like she had a lot on her mind.
She was unhappy!
Dai Xuan felt an inexplicable pain in her heart!
She raised her hand and the secret guard dressed as a waiter behind her immediately went forward.
Dai Xuan instructed, “I’ll pay for the food she’s eating tonight. Send a gla.s.s of freshly squeezed juice over later. After she’s done, wrap the gla.s.s in a bag.”
“Alright.”
Her eyes were glued on Gu Meng and she did not want to look away for a second.
She hoped that the test results would not disappoint her.
…
After Gu Meng finished ordering, the waiter sent over a gla.s.s of freshly squeezed juice. “Miss, there’s an event in the restaurant today. All customers who order can get a gla.s.s of juice.”
Gu Meng nodded, a smile on her lips. “Thank you.”
Gu Meng looked up and found that the other tables had the same juice before she took a sip.
After eating, Gu Meng called the waiter to settle the bill, only to be told that someone had already paid for her table.
Gu Meng was confused and asked the waiter who had paid for her. The waiter shook his head. “I’m sorry, Miss. I’m not sure.”
Gu Meng was a little scared. Had someone poisoned her food secretly?
She hurried toward the washroom.
Coming out of the washroom, Gu Meng was about to leave when she saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the restaurant.
Ye Qing!
He was standing with his back facing her. She could not see his face clearly, but from his back, she could recognize that it was him.
A slender woman was standing in front of him. The woman was wearing a hat that covered half of her face and Gu Meng could not see her face either.
He could only vaguely feel that the woman was very elegant and n.o.ble. One look at her and she could tell that she came from an extraordinary background, and that she was exceptionally rich and n.o.ble.
Gu Meng’s heart tightened slightly.
It was a little stuffy and uncomfortable.
She walked toward the washroom again.
She only came out after ten minutes.
Ye Qing and the woman were no longer at the door.
