C959

Gong Nanling also knew that it would be unfair to either Gu Mengmeng or Ning Qianyu if he continued to 'drag on' like this. It would only be bad for his relationship with Gu Mengmeng.

"I know …"

He looked down at the half-empty mug of coffee. The tip of his finger tightened by two points. The coffee in the cup rippled slightly.

"Since you know about it, why are you dawdling …" Gong Nanling, don't look at how Meng Meng is usually so carefree, she's actually very meticulous … "

Lin Ange spoke very softly.

The last sentence was still heard by Gu Mengmeng, who had walked to the entrance of the hall. She slowed her steps and subconsciously took two steps back. Standing in the dark, hands clasped, looking down at the toes of his shoes.

"I know... Ever since Auntie Gu died, her worries had been heavy … I really want to take care of her and become the person she relies on earlier … "But …"

"But what?"

Lin Ange lifted her comb-like long eyelashes and looked at Gong Nanling.

"It's just that I also owe Ning Qianyu, so I temporarily …"

Gong Nanling paused and gulped down a mouthful of coffee.

"Cough, cough …"

He was so drunk that he began to cough violently.

"Drink slowly …"

Lin Ange said warmly as she quickly handed him a tissue.

The sun began to drift slowly westward, through the french windows, and onto a piece of emerald green on the Boche shelf in the living room.

The emerald green light was deep and mysterious.

Inexplicable.

The Jade Key around Gu Mengmeng's neck also emitted a green light.

She was so focused on listening to what Gong Nanling had to say that she didn't even notice.

"Cough …" "Cough …"

Gong Nanling coughed for two minutes before stopping. The handsome face coughed until it turned red, and his black pupils were covered with scarlet red veins.

"…"

Lin Ange waited patiently, her clear eyes filled with worry.

"Are you better?"

"Yes, everything is fine now …"

Gong Nanling took another sip of the unfinished coffee in his cup and touched his chest.

"Gong Nanling, you have no responsibility for Ning Qianyu's matters. There might be other secrets to this matter? "

Regarding Ning Qianyu's accidental drowning, Lin Ange had asked Ding Pei to investigate it seriously.

He discovered that this matter was completely man-made.

Of course, she couldn't tell Gong Nanling about it yet.

"Little Aunt, I'll tell you the truth. My guilt towards Ning Qianyu isn't only because of this matter. More importantly …"

It was rare for someone to talk to him like that, and he was someone he trusted very much. Gong Nanling put down everything he had and wanted to move the 'Giant Stone' away from his heart.

"Then why? An engagement between you? "

Lin Ange frowned slightly as she sat beside him, her wrist resting lightly on the arm of the sofa.

"No …"

Gong Nanling pursed his lips and slightly lowered his head. A hint of red appeared behind his ears.

Gu Mengmeng, who was standing in the dark, felt as if her heart was being held tightly by a huge hand. His breathing became weaker.

She knew that this method of 'eavesdropping' was not good. However, the soles of his feet were as sticky as glue, and he couldn't move them at all.

"Not an engagement?" What is that? "

Lin Ange's frown deepened as she looked at Gong Nanling with a complicated expression.

"…"

Gong Nanling's head drooped even lower, and his black hair was in a mess. His hands gripped the mug tightly, as if it might break in the next second.

"Could it be that you're worried about Ning Family …"

Lin Ange's limpid eyes narrowed as she reacted.

"Gong Nanling, you don't have to worry about that." Your uncle has already thought of a way to buy the shares that Ning Family holds in the Gong family. Now, even if you cancel the engagement, it would not have any negative effects on the Gong Family Group. "

"Little Aunt, you and uncle have troubled yourself …"

When Gong Nanling heard this, he was touched and his eyes became sore. He slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Ange. His tone was slightly moved.

"Your uncle is doing this for your happiness in the future. So, if you have anything else, you can tell me. I'll find a way to help you. Even if I am unable to solve the problem, doesn't that mean that you still have your uncle? "

Lin Ange's mood became downcast. An ethereal mist drifted over her long eyelashes.

"Little Aunt, I …"

Gong Nanling found it hard to say anything about it. He avoided her gaze and did not dare to look into Lin Ange's clear and lively eyes.

"Gong Nanling, tell me, even if it's for Mengmeng's sake, you should tell me, right?"

Lin Ange was extremely intelligent, and seeing him in such a state, she came to a conclusion in her heart. Something must have happened between Gong Nanling and Ning Qianyu?

"I …"

Gong Nanling lowered his head and wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.

His heart skipped a beat and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Gu Mengmeng, who was' hiding 'in the dark and' eavesdropping ', was even more nervous than Gong Nanling. Her heart tightened and she almost couldn't breathe. His back was very taut. He was frozen in place, both his legs on the verge of losing consciousness.

"There's no one else here, speak …"

Lin Ange said warmly.

"Little Aunt, you have to keep this a secret …"1

Gong Nanling raised his head. A trace of panic and hesitation flashed through his slightly raised peach blossom eyes.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Lin Ange looked at him from the side, her delicate face tense and a little cold.

"I... "I …"

Gong Nanling opened his mouth, but he was still unable to say something. Glancing at Lin Ange's gaze, he drank all the coffee in his cup in one breath, pursed his lips, gathered up his courage, and said in a low voice.

"Something shouldn't have happened between Ning Qianyu and me …"

He tried to keep his voice low, but it was still shaky. Gu Mengmeng, who was hiding in the dark, could hear everything clearly.

Should not have happened...

She immediately understood what he meant.

His heart quivered, and his blood surged upwards. His face flushed red. His heartbeat quickened again, and his heart rate was in chaos.

"No …"

She covered her mouth so that she wouldn't make a sound. Ye Zichen shook his head, he couldn't believe what Gong Nanling said.

"Gong Nanling, you …"

Lin Ange was also extremely shocked.

Never had she imagined that after asking for so long, she would actually ask for such a secret.

"You all …"

Lin Ange's heart tightened. Her limpid eyes flashed as she spoke sternly.

"Gong Nanling, how could you do such a thing?!"

"I was drunk that night and didn't know anything …"

Gong Nanling's face turned red and he lowered his head. Both of his hands almost made a hole in his mug.

"Even if you're drunk, you can't …"

Lin Ange turned around and sat back down, a complicated expression on her face.

"That was really an accident. I didn't know anything at all …"

Gong Nanling put his mug on the tea table, lowered his head, and used both of his hands to pull at his messy black hair.
