At her words, Ye Qing thought of Gu Meng.
A faint smile appeared on his lips and disappeared just as quickly, but this smile was caught by Dai Na. He seemed to be looking at another woman through her.
Dai Na’s heart tightened and she became on guard.
Who was he thinking of?
Who could he be thinking of?
In recent months, Dai Na found that there were no other women around him. He stayed away from women, nor was he interested in beautiful women.
He was a very decent man.
Even if there were beautiful women who threw themselves at him, he would not even spare them a glance. Moreover, he spent most of his time on work and had made great achievements in the foreign trade economy and high-tech manufacturing industry.
Such a person must be quite boring in life. But Dai Na wanted to conquer him and see him filled with life. He belonged to her now, so how could he have another woman in his heart?
When Dai Na looked at Ye Qing again, she found that his eyes were as dark as ink, with a trace of drunkenness. How could there be any gentle smile?
Perhaps it was just her hallucination!
“Brother Ye Qing, we’re engaged and I’m your princess consort. Do you really want me to stay alone?” Dai Na leaned against Ye Qing and her fingertips moved around teasingly.
She was a delicate princess. How many people loved her beauty… But the man in front of her always had an indifferent expression on his face no matter how attractive she was.
Dai Na did not know what had gone wrong. Did he really have no sexual desires or was he incapable?
“Brother Ye Qing…”
Ye Qing pulled away Dai Na’s hands that were around his neck coldly. “Princess, don’t behave like a prostitute. It will only lower your status.”
W-What? How dare he! Dai Na’s eyes turned wide with disbelief. He just compared her to a prostitute! Dai Na was still in shock when Ye Qing went around her and left coldly.
…
Ye Qing asked the chauffeur to take him away. He did not say where he wanted to go and asked the chauffeur to just drive.
Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was oppressive. The chauffeur did not even dare to let out a breath.
It was a day of great happiness for the Third Highness, but he was not happy at all.
Was it because of Miss Gu who was resting in the villa? He did not look good since he left the villa the other day. His face was as cold as a stone carving with no warmth at all.
The chauffeur continued to circle around the city.
Until the cold man behind said, “Go to the villa.”
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the gate of the villa. Ye Qing looked at the second floor through the car window. It was dark inside.
When she first came to the villa, she used to sleep with an orange wall lamp every night. Later, he realized that it was to wait for him. But he did not know when that wall lamp had stopped lighting up at night.
Ye Qing’s handsome chiseled face was tense and his slender eyes were dark, like the sky that was covered by gray clouds. Raising his long fingers, he pinched his nose bridge.
Pushing open the car door, he got off with the bag of clothes.
…
Gu Meng did not know how she fell asleep. She thought she would be unable to sleep when she saw how he had gotten engaged to another woman during the day.
Unexpectedly, she did not suffer from insomnia. After taking a bath, she fell asleep after lying on the bed. Perhaps she would be numb and not feel pain after loving a person to the point of physical and mental exhaustion.
Or perhaps, she could not blame him completely. If she had stayed in the fishing village, did not come to the Capital to find him, and did not stick by his side stubbornly, she would not have ended up in this state.
But there was no use to feel regret in this world.
In the middle of the night, Gu Meng’s calf had cramps again. The place where it was having cramps was as stiff as stone. She could not straighten her leg and it was hard for her to breathe because of the pain.
Gu Meng gritted her teeth, hoping that the pain would soon disappear.
Suddenly, a warm and dry palm reached over and wrapped around her calf, which felt like it was about to break from the pain, massaging it gently.
After a few minutes, the pain eased. Gu Meng closed her eyes and opened them again, feeling like she was alive again.
Finally able to let out a breath, Gu Meng sat up from the bed, looking at the man standing by the bed.
He was still wearing the suit he wore for the engagement. In the deep night, his slender body was like a devil. Gu Meng could not see his expression clearly and could only vaguely feel his deep dark eyes landing on her face.
What did one say in this kind of situation? Congratulations? Or ask him why he was not with his fiancée, but came here?
In the end, she lay back down and asked nothing. Turning over, her back was facing the man by the bed.
Ye Qing went to the head of the bed, bent over and put his hand on the side of her head. “Does it still hurt?”
He was too close and a faint scent of wine and elegant perfume floated into her nose. It was the scent of a high-class perfume.
Gu Meng’s fingers that were holding the blanket tightened and she pursed her lips, pretending to have not heard him.
Seeing that she was ignoring him, Ye Qing sat down on the side of the bed and stroked her bulging stomach. He put his face close and listened to the movement in her stomach.
No matter what he did, Gu Meng did not make a sound or push him away.
But her body was very stiff. In her own silent way, she was resisting and repelling him.
He lay on her stomach like this for nearly five minutes before getting up.
After taking a bath, he came out in loungewear. Pulling the blanket away, he lay down beside her.
Although he would not do anything out of line every time he lay down beside her, he was already engaged to another woman and she really could not accept him lying beside her.
No matter how much one loved someone, there was a bottom line. She had her principles after all.
She did not want another woman’s man.
“Go away,” Gu Meng said. These were the first words she had said after he arrived.
Ye Qing’s action of covering the blanket paused. He seemed to be unable to believe that those two words had come from her mouth.
Since he didn’t move, Gu Meng got out of bed and left the bedroom before he could respond. There was no way for her to stay in the same space as him. Every minute and second had become a kind of suffering for her.
Ye Qing got out of bed and ran after her.
Bam! Gu Meng went to a guest room and slammed the door shut, locking it from inside. Ye Qing went over and knocked on the door, his eyes dark and menacing. “Gu Meng, open the door.”
“Your Highness, just go back to your palace. After I have given birth, take the baby away and let’s not meet again!”
