0Gong Nanling opened all the eggs. Stir, add water and salt, and put in a steamer.
"Mengmeng, I've steamed a bowl of egg soup for you. It will probably take a while." Why don't you go take a bath first? "
Gong Nanling returned to the living room and half-squatted in front of Gu Mengmeng, holding her cold hand.
"…"
Gu Mengmeng lowered her head, her eyes red. She did not agree or refuse.
"Alright, Mengmeng. Don't be sad. "Be obedient, go take a bath, finish eating the egg drop soup, and then get a good night's sleep …"
Gong Nanling raised his eyebrows, while his eyes were filled with love.
"Come …"
He slowly stood up and pulled Gu Mengmeng to her feet.
Gu Mengmeng bit her lips and wiped the corner of her eyes. Her eyes were red.
"Alright, alright …"
Gong Nanling coaxed gently again.
Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips but didn't say anything. He went to his room to get a change of clothes, then went to the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of flowing water could be heard from the washroom.
The warm water instantly soaked her hair and face, making it hard to tell if it was tears or water.
She didn't know why she was so sad the moment she got home. She couldn't stop crying.
She already knew what Ye Xiaochen was talking about, why did he have such a strong reaction today?
Could it be because of Gong Nanling?
Was she afraid of something?
Or perhaps, she was afraid of losing this relationship.
She scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on her face. Her eyelashes were wet and her throat was clogged.
"Cough …"
He lightly coughed twice.
Bang Bang...
Gong Nanling knocked on the bathroom door.
"Mengmeng, don't wash it for too long. The egg soup has been steamed."
His concerned words reached Gu Mengmeng's ears through the hot fog. She blinked her eyes and replied with a hoarse voice.
"Alright …"
This sound was separated by the sound of water. Gong Nanling didn't hear it at all.
"Mengmeng, did you hear that?"
"Got it …"
Gu Mengmeng slightly raised her voice. Her throat felt painful as if it was being cut by a knife.
Gong Nanling was standing at the door and didn't hear anything.
He was so worried that his brows were creased as he knocked on the door again.
"Mengmeng, are you alright?"
Although he had the ventilation fan on, he was still worried that something might happen to Gu Mengmeng. After all, she'd lost control of her emotions just now.
Just when he was about to break open the door and take a look inside. Gu Mengmeng, who was inside, stopped and replied.
"I'm fine …"
Even though Gong Nanling heard it vaguely, he heard it. His heart relaxed a little.
"Alright."
After replying, he returned to the living room.
While Gu Mengmeng was taking a shower, he had already dragged the entire floor and roughly cleaned the furniture.
All these years, even though Gu Yalan was alone with Gu Mengmeng, her financial situation was not weak.
Although the furniture was simple, low-key and delicate, the price was not cheap.
Gu Mengmeng finished washing up and came out of the bathroom. She felt warm when she saw the bright floor and the furniture.
"Mengmeng, come and eat while it's hot."
Gong Nanling just came out of the kitchen with a bowl of freshly steamed egg in his hands.
"Eat, I'm not hungry …"
"You eat first …"
Gong Nanling put the bowl on the Small Round Table and pulled up the chair.
"Eat, I'm really not hungry …"
A wisp of Gu Mengmeng's wet hair, still dripping, was stuck to her small face, missing the towel.
Seeing that, Gong Nanling hurriedly reached out his hand to help her.
"Mengmeng, treat it as having a taste of my cooking."
"I'm really not hungry …"
"Then I'll feed you."
Gong Nanling Qiang pulled her to sit in front of the Small Round Table, then pulled a chair over and sat beside her.
He scooped up a small spoon and gently pushed away the sesame oil on the egg drop.
A fragrant smell assaulted his nostrils.
Gu Mengmeng's chest and stomach were stuffed, and her wet eyelashes blinked.
She looked at Gong Nanling's handsome face and the corners of her eyes started to redden.
"Gong Nanling …"
Before she could finish, Gong Nanling scooped up a spoonful of the golden egg drop and gently blew it twice before bringing it to her mouth.
"Come, Mengmeng."
Gu Mengmeng instinctively opened her mouth.
"Is it hot?"
Gong Nanling said nervously.
"Not hot …"
Gu Mengmeng shook her head.
"Is it delicious?"
Gong Nanling asked again.
"Yes."
Gu Mengmeng nodded.
"As long as it's delicious …"
Gong Nanling opened his eyes and curled his lips. His handsome face revealed a gratified smile.
The two of them just watched quietly, neither of them saying anything.
Sometimes, the two who loved each other didn't even need to say anything to each other.
Wordless company, more heartwarming than noisy conversation.
Spoon after spoon.
Unknowingly, Gu Mengmeng had already eaten more than half of the huge bowl of egg soup.
"I'm not eating …"
"Mengmeng, you only have this little left. Work harder."
Gong Nanling raised his eyebrows and said lovingly.
"I can't eat anymore …"
Gu Mengmeng felt a little strange. She, who was originally not hungry, had actually eaten so much.
"You didn't eat anything tonight either …"
"I'm fine, I'm not hungry …"
As soon as Gong Nanling finished his sentence, his stomach growled.
"Gu Gu …"
"Illusion, illusion …"
Gong Nanling smiled in embarrassment.
"I don't think there's much to eat at home. How about you order a takeout?"
Gu Mengmeng turned her head and looked around.
"What takeout?" "It's already this time …"
Gong Nanling saw her wipe her mouth with a tissue and confirmed that she wouldn't eat again. He took the spoon and put the leftover egg soup into his mouth one spoonful at a time.
"You should order a takeout, this …"
Gu Mengmeng stood up with red eyes and took out her phone from her bag.
"Mengmeng, there's really no need. There's a bottle of apple juice in the fridge... "
"That won't do."
Gu Mengmeng said stubbornly.
She found the specialty supper shop that Gong Nanling frequented. Just as she was about to order, Gong Nanling used a little strength and 'snatched' Gu Mengmeng's phone.
"You …"
"I already said there's no need."
Gong Nanling placed Gu Mengmeng's phone on the Small Round Table and held her shoulders with both of his hands.
"Gong Nanling, you …"
"Mengmeng, go sit on the sofa."
"Gong Nanling, you really plan to …"
"Mengmeng …"
Gong Nanling looked at Gu Mengmeng with burning eyes. When he saw the worry flowing out of Gu Mengmeng's eyes, he felt a little uneasy.
"Gong Nanling, you can choose again right now. "No matter what, I won't blame you …"
These days, Gu Mengmeng had clearly seen Gong Nanling's' sincerity '. She was both touched and pained at the same time.
But between the two of them, there seemed to be an endless mountain range.
If Ye Xiaochen hadn't finished today, it would be a more serious matter than the 'old grudge' between the two families.
"Mengmeng, do you love me?"
Gong Nanling retracted his gaze and put his hands on her shoulders as he said this word by word.
"I …"
Gu Mengmeng did not dare to meet his eyes. She avoided them as her heart throbbed in pain.
"Answer me, Mengmeng."
Gong Nanling looked at her face and asked again.
