Chapter By WordExcerpt
This dagger……This is the gift he had wanted to give to Gong Jue when he left for Xizhou. However, while he and Mo’er were on the boat in the lake, when……all those things happened, he left in a hurry and left behind the box containing the bagger on the boat. He never expected it to appear here.
So to say……This was Mo’er’s intention?
He observed the smiling man in front of him who appeared mature and steady. What was he to Mo’er? Was he her subordinate?
Gripping the dagger, Gong Che spoke with a faint eagerness in his voice. “You said that you wish to take up the position of man in charge, and that is no issue to me, but where is the owner of this dagger? I wish to see her!”
Gong Yimo smiled. “I am sorry to disappoint you, but she is not in Dayu.”
As expected, Gong Che revealed a look of disappointment. After a long groan, he suddenly asked, “Is there anything else she wishes to say besides this?”
When he saw the earnestness in his eyes, Gong Yimo suddenly felt quite uneasy. She sighed. “She says……that if you meet again, she wishes to know whether you are still willing to remain her sibling.”
She should not have said this, but when she saw his face pale, she felt even more uncomfortable.
“Siblings?” Gong Che looked at her, then at the dagger. After a long time, he chuckled bitterly.
“I agree to you being in charge, but I hope you will also pass on a word in my stead.”
Gong Yimo raised her hand as a gesture for him to continue and still revealed no flaws.
Gong Che was looking at her, but he also seemed like he was looking at someone else through her.
In the end, he sighed helplessly and said, “Please tell her we may share whatever relationship she pleases, I only hope that she returns.”
Gong Yimo was stunned again. She couldn’t say what she was feeling in her heart. After a while, she came back to her senses and responded solemnly, “I will definitely pass on your word.”
After saying this, Gong Yimo tried again to shift the subject to something else.
During this period, Gong Che kept on looking at her with a deep gaze with a sense of probing. This caused her to feel uneasy, and she got up to excuse herself in just a short while.
“Will you be leaving tonight?”
Before she left, Gong Che asked with his cup in hand.
Gong Yimo nodded. “This matter can not be delayed. I will go tonight.”
Gong Che did not say anything. He only stood up and said with a smile, “In that case, let me see you off. Please.”
