Chapter 54



Chapter 54

Ye Tianhui asked the driver to drive directly to the downstairs of Gu Shizhang's house.

It was one of the most prosperous areas in Hong Kong. The buildings were very high and the roads were a bit narrow.

Ye Tianhui looked up from the roadside and saw that the domes of the buildings on both sides seemed to bend and lean towards a certain point in the middle, giving people the illusion that this cramped space was becoming more and more oppressive.

In such a building, countless families lived in it tightly, and his place was located at a height that she could not even see.

Ye Tianhui stood silently downstairs and saw people coming and going around her.

The pace of Hong Kong is always fast, and the people are in a hurry. When she opened her eyes and saw a group of people stepping out, she closed her eyes and opened them again, and saw a completely different group of people.

This place is like a fast-flowing water, and it can't stop.

When she first came to Hong Kong, everything here was strange and new, something she had never seen before. How could she have thought that the saint who lived thousands of years ago actually lived under such a sky.

He was one of the strangers who hurriedly walked by her.

In fact, the two of them have been dating until now, and she knows very little about this person. There are Gu Shizhang's seemingly inadvertent concealment, and her own avoidance.

She likes Gu Shizhang because she is Gu Shizhang, and because he looks very much like the person she used to be.

She looked at him for a long time, and finally turned around to leave. Who knew that at this moment, she heard a voice: "Tianhui."

Amid the car horns and the noisy crowd, the voice was clear and pleasant, and it reached Ye Tianhui's ears.

She looked at the source of the voice, but saw Gu Shizhang carrying a bag on the other side of the road, just about to come over here.

When their eyes met, a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then he waved at her: "Don't move, I'll pass."

There were cars and people coming and going on the road. He waited for the cars to pass, and Ye Tianhui watched from a distance, but saw that he was wearing a white casual sportswear in the autumn sun, and his smile was noble and warm.

So suddenly there was a sense of fate, and I would think of the person on the blue brick wall in the past, who bowed his head and smiled at her.

She stood there, staring blankly.

Cars shuttled back and forth, people surged, this bustling world, this colorful world, in this instant, turned into an illusory dream in the flow of time and space.

Time passed, the sun and the moon danced, and she woke up from a dream a thousand years later. The history that could not be found in the cracks of the lead characters, she thought that everything that had happened had turned to ashes and could no longer be found.

Who knew that when she looked back suddenly, there he was, separated by layers of crowds, in white clothes, smiling handsomely and warmly.

It was as if he had always been there.

In a trance, Ye Tianhui saw him crossing the road and walking towards her. He walked to her side, lowered his head and smiled at her.

She looked up, a figure like the breeze and the bright moon, with a familiar outline and lowered eyebrows. He smiled, just like a thousand years ago.

Gu Shizhang raised his eyebrows and sighed: "What's wrong, silly?"

Ye Tianhui turned away with some difficulty.

Gu Shizhang realized that something was wrong and said softly: "What's wrong?"

Ye Tianhui shook her head slowly: "Nothing, just a little tired."

Gu Shizhang stretched out his hand and held Ye Tianhui's: "Have you eaten?"

Ye Tianhui tiptoed at this time -

Gu Shizhang had never expected it, and just as he was wondering, Ye Tianhui closed her eyes and her lips gently fell on his cheek.

Gu Shizhang was slightly startled and looked down at Ye Tianhui.

There was something strange flowing in his eyes: "Hmm?"

Ye Tianhui looked up at him: "Why don't you kiss me?"

Gu Shizhang pursed his lips and whispered: "Are you sure, this is on the street."

Ye Tianhui didn't say anything, just stared at him, with unspeakable emotions in his eyes.

Gu Shizhang suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, then held her face and leaned down to kiss her.

Then in an instant, all the hustle and bustle disappeared, and there was only him and her in this world.

He kissed madly, his five powerful fingers firmly locked the back of Ye Tianhui's head, and the tip of his tongue jumped into Ye Tianhui's mouth. He kissed thoroughly and greedily, as if he wanted to swallow her.

His thriving desire was like a raging fire, almost devouring her, she felt like she was on fire, burning with him, crackling.

It seemed like a thousand years had passed before he finally stopped.

He held her face with compassion, lowered his head and gently kissed the seam between her lips, as if cleaning up a mess, carefully and patiently kissing every wet part of her body.

Ye Tianhui felt weak and her fingers were shaking.

She closed her eyes, feeling the feeling he brought to her, that strange yet familiar complex feeling.

This was on the street, people were coming and going, some looked over curiously, and some shouted that dating was so sweet.

Ye Tianhui finally buried her head powerlessly in Gu Shizhang's shoulder. She hugged his shoulder sullenly, and greedily absorbed his breath.

Jealousy, caution, suspicion, control, and all kinds of thoughts between the monarch and the minister, he was the person she was so familiar with, almost covering the twenty-five years of Ye Tianhui's life.

If it weren't for him, Ye Tianhui would not be the Ye Tianhui now.

When their relationship as monarch and minister came to an end, her suspicion of him was just her suspicion.

And now, meeting in another world, she smelled the breath from Dazhao again, which was familiar, which made her tremble, and was buried deep in her soul.

She suddenly recalled many past events, the sound of Yu Academy reading in her childhood, Qianli's company in her youth, the cooperation between the emperor and his subjects later, and his care for her.

These memories came to her like a tide, making it almost impossible for her to restrain herself.

This world is so strange, but he is the only one who is familiar. He has the same genes as her and the same memories as her.

She hugged his shoulders, her fingertips trembling, but she tried to suppress it, suppress it.

Gu Shizhang patted her back soothingly: "What's the matter? Did you have a fight with your dad, or about the horse racing?"

Ye Tianhui bit her trembling lips and whispered, "It's nothing, it's just, it's just--"

Gu Shizhang: "Tell me, tell me obediently, okay?"

Ye Tianhui buried her head in his shoulder and didn't say anything. After a while, she finally said, "I think of Daddy's affairs, and I'm very sad. I'm also worried about the horse racing. The horse I like may be gone, may be dead..."

Dead... What a sad thing.

Ye Tianhui's tears finally fell. Through the horse, she vented her emotions: "The horse died, I couldn't save it."

Seeing this, Gu Shizhang held her hand: "Come on, come with me."

He led her and took the elevator home.

In fact, after arriving at Gu Shizhang's house, Ye Tianhui's emotions had calmed down.

But it was obvious that Gu Shizhang was very nervous. He took a warm wet towel and wiped her tears carefully, then hugged her and sat on the sofa.

He held her face and whispered, "Would you like another glass of iced Coke?"

Ye Tianhui blinked her still wet eyes and shook her head.

Gu Shizhang looked at her innocent look and laughed dumbly. He put his forehead against hers and said, "Have you cried so much that you are stupid? You don't even like to drink Coke."

Ye Tianhui muttered in a low voice, "I just don't feel like it..."

Gu Shizhang: "How about a glass of juice?"

Ye Tianhui: "That's fine."

Gu Shizhang: "Grapefruit juice, apple juice?"

Ye Tianhui: "Apples?"

Gu Shizhang got up and went over to squeeze juice for her.

He himself didn't like to drink it, but the last time she came over, she wanted to drink Coke, and he didn't have any, so he told the hourly worker to prepare it regularly and put it in the refrigerator, just in case she came over and had it.

Thinking that Coke was not healthy after all, he bought a juicer and prepared some seasonal fruits.

He quickly squeezed juice for her, took it and sat on the sofa.

Ye Tianhui wanted to take it, but Gu Shizhang didn't give it to her and fed it to her through her lips.

Ye Tianhui drank the juice and raised her eyelids to look at him.

From her perspective, she could see more clearly his gentle and beautiful thin lips, his straight nose bridge, and his elegant brow bones.

He bent his eyebrows and smiled, with frank pity and love in his calm eyes.

After Ye Tianhui took a few sips, she stopped drinking.

Gu Shizhang put the juice cup aside, then he held her face and leaned down.

Ye Tianhui: "What?"

Gu Shizhang's eyes were a little deep, he looked at her, and said in a deep voice: "I want to kiss you again."

This time he said it was a kiss, but it was actually a licking. He ate up all the remaining juice in her lips.

Ye Tianhui's lips were numb.

When he was so tender and affectionate, she felt a little dizzy and distracted.

She thought to herself, who would have thought that he would be like this.

That reserved and indifferent emperor, he was high above, and the eyes hidden behind the crown were always indifferent, looking down at the world.

He was silent and unfathomable.

How many ministers could not sleep or eat well under his indifferent eyes, and racked their brains to figure out his hidden intentions in private.

But he is no longer the high and mighty emperor. He has transformed into an ordinary man, with a kind and gentle appearance, and he and her are up and down in the love between men and women. Did

he have desires in his previous life? It seems not.

His harem is a mere figment of the imagination. Countless ministers guessed that this emperor has never set foot in the harem!

Ye Tianhui felt that it was not real and her feet were dangling.

But after excluding all the impossibilities, there is only one truth, he is.

He is the reincarnation of the emperor, and he has the same memory of the previous life as her!

Just as she was thinking, Gu Shizhang's cool fingers gently pinched her chin, lowered his eyes, his breath lingered, and he whispered: "What are you thinking about?"

Ye Tianhui gathered her thoughts, and she looked at him: "Why don't you ask me what happened?"

Gu Shizhang's hand touched her lips with pity: "You look much better now, don't worry,

just say it if you want to." Ye Tianhui looked at him: "Why tell such a lie, in fact, you really want to know, but you just don't want to put pressure on me, so you deliberately say this?"

Gu Shizhang laughed: "You-"

He said helplessly: "See you just so sad, now you finally feel better, how can I bear to ask you again."

Ye Tianhui heard him say this, and felt that his tone was full of tenderness.

He was very sympathetic to herself and coaxed herself carefully everywhere.

Thinking back to the beginning, he was always gentle and considerate to her, acting like a mature gentleman.

Perhaps he had always been like this, and she was used to it, taking his gentleness for granted.

She looked at him and deliberately said, "Why are you reluctant?"

Gu Shizhang's eyebrows became more gentle: "Seeing you cry like that just now, how can I not feel distressed?"

Ye Tianhui tilted her head: "How come you have such a coaxing mouth? These words are so pleasing to hear."

Gu Shizhang: "I really think so, and I'm not deliberately coaxing you."

Ye Tianhui smiled, and then talked about Ye Lixuan's plan to take her to sweep the graves, and also talked about the estrangement between herself and Ye Lixuan.

She sighed, "He doesn't mean to bow his head anyway. You told me to hold it, so of course I won't bow my head either. Let's just leave it like this."

Gu Shizhang: "Since you care so much, you should tell me clearly as soon as possible, otherwise you will feel bad for nothing."

Ye Tianhui: "Let's talk about it later."

Gu Shizhang: "What about that horse?"

Ye Tianhui told him about the King of Hell. Gu Shizhang frowned: "If you want this horse, you can. I know a friend in the industry. Let them help find out and find this horse back as soon as possible."

Ye Tianhui: "Now I can really hope so."

Gu Shizhang: "If it really doesn't work, I'll lend you my shaver."

Ye Tianhui looked at him: "Is it true?"

Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "The camera is under my name. If you want it, I'll give it to you."

Ye Tianhui blinked: "It's too expensive. This is not appropriate."

Gu Shizhang sighed and tapped her head with his fingertips: "Don't be so cheap. You obviously can't wait to take it away, so why are you pretending to be polite?"

Ye Tianhui immediately said: "Okay, a gentleman's word is as good as a horse!"

Gu Shizhang saw that she was afraid that she would regret it, so he smiled. He looked at her and said with a smile: "Actually, a friend of mine also wanted to borrow it, but I refused."

Ye Tianhui frowned and looked at him suspiciously.

Afterwards, she asked, "Could it be that your friend who wants to borrow the horse just happens to have the last name Meng?"

Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "Yes, what a coincidence, isn't it?"

Ye Tianhui: "!!!"

She hugged his waist and declared domineeringly, "I am your girlfriend, you have to figure out the relationship between you and me, you can only lend it to me, not to others!"

Gu Shizhang lowered his eyes and looked at her, smiling and stroking her hair, "They are all yours, okay?"

*********

Gu Shizhang wanted to lend her the camera and gave her a large stack of information.

Only then did she realize that the bag he was holding when she first saw him was the information about Meng Yinian.

Meng Yinian and he obviously have a close relationship, which should have started from their friendship in their youth. Meng Yinian could ask him to borrow the camera, which shows that they have a good relationship.

Now, he gave all the information about Meng Yinian to her.

What a betrayal of a friend.

Ye Tianhui stood in front of the French window, flipping through the materials slowly, but in her heart she couldn't help but ponder over and over again the way he hugged her and talked to her, the kiss on the street that was shocking to them, the way he took care of her tenderly and carefully, and the tone of his voice as he held her in his hands and coaxed her.

All of this was too incredible.

He was actually him, it was indeed him.

After a thousand years, has he finally changed his mind? Or has she never really understood him?

In this life, he traveled all over the world, he found Chi Yan, and his care for her was real.

Ye Tianhui thought of the past again, and thought of him when she was young. Did he seem to be gentle at that time? Thinking of this, in fact, even later, putting aside those prejudices, suspicions and precautions, he had always been good to her.

Ye Tianhui thought about this and suddenly laughed.

She felt that she had split into three parts, one was experiencing the sweetness of love, one was savoring the joy of victory, and the other had a heart of revenge.

He must know that she had memories, but he played dumb and didn't expose it. Now that she knew it, she certainly wouldn't expose it. She

just wanted to see, to see the saint who was once high and mighty bow his head and obey her, to see the emperor who was once cold and reserved be gentle to her.

While everything was not made clear, she could continue to play dumb, take the advantage that she should take, and show her temper that she should show. She

wanted him to do whatever she wanted, to make him obey her in everything, to climb over his head and do whatever she wanted. Anyway, she would bully him as much as she could!

Don't ask too many questions. If you ask, she will just not know his identity at all. If you ask again, she will just not remember her previous life!

Ye Tianhui thought that even those things between men and women could actually be tried seriously.

After all, he is an emperor, and his bloodline genes are the best.

What if one day they break up and go their separate ways? Who knows if they can still be together?

Anyway, it's a try, she will not lose out.

What if there is a child -

Ye Tianhui's heart suddenly moved.

She didn't have many children in her previous life, so it's inevitable that she has some thoughts in this life, such as not dying in vain, and leaving her own bloodline in this world.

It would be nice if she had a child with such an excellent Gu Shizhang.

But she thought again, forget it, having children is something that you have to give birth to yourself, it's too hard, why bother at such a young age, it's better to try and feel the new life first.

With this thought in mind, she actually had a good plan, and even figured out how to trick him into going to bed.

After that, all her thoughts finally gave way, and she opened the information he gave her.

Very detailed information, divided into categories, is all about Meng Yinian's horses, including height, weight and performance indicators, as well as previous competitions, of course, photos, and analysis of advantages and disadvantages.

Ye Tianhui was very satisfied.

Of course she understood that Gu Shizhang could not be just a simple jockey.

In fact, she probably guessed Gu Shizhang's identity and background, but she just didn't bother to verify it.

There are so many secrets about him, but his financial background in this life is a trivial matter.

With his ability, it is no problem to help him with these information.

Ye Tianhui thought more and more that she had to take her time.

Give him a good squeeze.

From emotions to body, to resources, all-round resources.

Anyway, enjoy it first.

*********

Gu Shizhang called Ye Lixuan.

The assistant answered the phone and said that Ye Lixuan was in a meeting in the United States. He gave Ye Lixuan's American phone number, and

Gu Shizhang called Ye Lixuan, and the call was quickly connected.

Ye Lixuan: "Why are you calling me suddenly? What's the matter?"

His voice was faint, a little hoarse, and sounded a little tired.

Gu Shizhang: "Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you when you come back."

Ye Lixuan: "Oh? Talk to me? Don't you think you seem to be looking for me too often recently?"

Gu Shizhang smiled, but asked: "Your voice sounds a little strange, what's wrong?"

Ye Lixuan: "I came to the United States for a meeting, stayed up late, and was tired."

Gu Shizhang: "It sounds like you are not only tired, but also have a heart disease?"

Ye Lixuan's voice carried a warning: "Shizhang——"

Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "When you come back, we can talk in person. I have something I want to discuss with you in detail."

Ye Lixuan was silent for a moment and said, "Okay."

After hanging up Gu Shizhang's phone, Ye Lixuan made a phone call. When the other party saw that it was him, he hurriedly reported to him.

Ye Lixuan frowned and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't find anything. He is a very alert person. There is no need to check for now."

After hanging up the phone this time, Ye Lixuan sat quietly in his office chair, looking out the window with a heavy look in his eyes.

After looking for a long time, he finally made another call, this time to Ye Tianhui.

The phone rang one after another, and Ye Lixuan pursed his lips and waited patiently, waiting for someone to pick up the phone.

But the boring ringtone continued, and no one answered the phone until finally, it was automatically hung up.

So Ye Lixuan became completely annoyed, and he couldn't suppress his wild thoughts.

There is a time difference between Hong Kong and the United States. It should be night in Hong Kong at this time. It's so late, and she hasn't gone home yet. Where is she?

Dating with her boyfriend, at her boyfriend's house?

Ye Lixuan thought of the slight redness and swelling on Ye Tianhui's lips after she came home that night, and his eyes turned cold instantly.

And when he thought of her boyfriend, who was only twenty-four or twenty-five years old, was the same age as Gu Shizhang, he couldn't bear it anymore.

He had lived for thirty-eight years, and for the first time he felt the heart of an old father.

He felt depressed and angry, and he almost wanted to kill someone.

Ye Lixuan took a deep breath and finally called the nanny at home

. This time the call was quickly connected.

Ye Lixuan remained calm: "Where is Miss Tianhui, is she home?"

The nanny hurriedly said: "Yes, she was there when I went over just now."

Ye Lixuan: "She was home tonight?"

The nanny said: "Yes, but she might have been taking a shower just now."

Ye Lixuan was slightly stunned.

His heart was instantly relaxed, and then he laughed at himself. It was

too absurd and ridiculous. He was actually worried about gains and losses.

He lowered his eyes and said in a calm voice: "Then it's okay."

Just as he was about to hang up, Ye Lixuan instructed again: "Don't mention it to the young lady. It's not a big deal. I'm just asking.

The nanny naturally said yes.

Ye Lixuan hung up the phone and was silent for a moment. Finally, he called Ye Wenyin.

***********

Early the next morning, Sun Jiajing sent a message saying that the King of Hell was sold to a circus, but the circus soon discovered the wildness of the horse, so now it was sold to a slaughterhouse.

Ye Tianhui didn't dare to delay when she heard it. She immediately took Sun Jiajing, Assistant Yang, and several bodyguards of the Ye family to the slaughterhouse to rescue the King of Hell.

On the way, Sun Jiajing frowned, obviously a little worried: "Will it be too late? "

Ye Tianhui ordered Assistant Yang: "Drive faster."

Assistant Yang: "Okay, okay!"

The car finally arrived at the slaughterhouse. Assistant Yang and the bodyguard went forward to negotiate. They learned that there were exactly three horses to be slaughtered today. It was said that the slaughter had already started.

As soon as these words fell, the neighing of horses was heard from the slaughterhouse. It was a mournful sound.

Ye Tianhui's heart paused, and he and Sun Jiajing looked at each other. Obviously, both of them had a bad premonition.

They did not dare to delay and rushed in directly.

Sun Jiajing ran halfway and suddenly said: "Ms. Ye, don't go in--"

After all, she is a rich lady. This is a slaughterhouse, a bloody scene. He was afraid that she would be scared or disgusted when she saw it.

Ye Tianhui: "Let's go. "

Sun Jiajing was startled. He felt that Ye Tianhui's face was particularly calm, so calm that she seemed to care nothing.

He had never seen such a woman before!

As soon as he hesitated, Ye Tianhui had already rushed over. He hurriedly ran to catch up.

Soon the two of them ran to the place where the horses were neighing. After entering, they were shocked!

There were three horses in total, two of which had been slaughtered. The scene in between was naturally It was unbearable to watch, and right next to the two horses, there were four big men desperately surrounding a horse, and that horse was the King of Hell!

There were two men, one of whom had an electric baton, and they tried to drag the King of Hell with a rope, trying to tame it, but the King of Hell opened his stubborn eyes, trembled, roared, and his voice was sharp and shrill.

Sun Jiajing: "Stop! Stop, we have already bought this horse! Don't kill this horse! "

As he said this, the bald man had already hit the King of Hell with the electric baton. Amid the horse's neighing, the electric baton hit the horse's brown leg.

Then in an instant, everyone heard the King of Hell let out a terrifying scream, and then everyone saw that it was shaking all over.

Its hips, its legs, and its abdomen were all shaking. It was shaking uncontrollably, or convulsing.

Sun Jiajing: "We bought the horse! Don't kill it, stop! "

However, when he said this, the King of Hell suddenly jumped up, it was ferocious and terrifying, like a revenger from hell, and rushed towards the butcher. The butcher's pupils shrank and he tried his best to dodge, but the horse's hoof had already kicked the butcher's thigh. The butcher screamed and his leg bone was broken.

Seeing this, the other butcher's eyes turned red with blood. He rushed over with the electric baton in his hand, wanting to give the messenger of hell the final blow.

All this was over in a moment.

Ye Tianhui never thought that She actually saw such a scene.

At this time, the butcher was already panicking. He subconsciously threw down the electric baton and rushed towards the King of Hell with his knife.

Ye Tianhui saw at a glance that his knife went straight between the fourth and fifth ribs of the King of Hell.

This man was a good butcher. He had obviously killed countless cattle and horses.

Once the King of Hell was stabbed, he would definitely die.

But the tragic King of Hell would definitely fight with his last strength, and this man would also be injured.

Ye Tianhui rushed forward, leaped forward, and kicked the man's wrist with one leg. The force was not strong, but the knife fell off and flew out instantly.

At the moment when the knife fell off and flew out, the King of Hell, who was in pain and madness, arrived. Ye Tianhui used the slight force from stepping on the man's wrist to fly forward.

At this time, the person in charge of the horse farm, bodyguards, Assistant Yang and others also rushed over.

So they saw a scene that they would never forget.

They saw that the white figure turned into a light and agile white light. In the conflict between the man and the horse, she flew out of the air, like a sickle slashing through the sky. She kicked the slaughtering weapon away and jumped steadily onto the horse's back at an incredible angle.

——The back of the horse that was in great pain and in a frenzy.

This is an extremely dangerous thing. Even the most experienced and skilled riders dare not challenge such a horse!

Assistant Yang shouted: "Be careful!"

Although he did not think highly of this rich lady boss, if she had any accident, he would be fired!

The bodyguards were also dumbfounded. They could fight and protect people, but they had no experience in saving people from horseback!

Besides, this rich young lady rushed over by herself!

She rushed over by herself!

And at the side, Sun Jiajing held his breath, his pupils constricted, and he stared at the scene in front of him.

He was a horse trainer, he understood, understood the language of horses, and also understood the posture of horse trainers.

He saw this rich young lady riding on the horse, saw her sitting firmly on the unruly horse's back, saw her lower her head and press down the saddle bone of the king of hell!

The horse was crazy and irritable, it was jumping and galloping recklessly, which to Ye Tianhui on the horse's back was like a small boat in a storm, which could be swept away and swallowed by the raging sea and gale at any time.

But she sat steadily on the horse's back, as if she was part of the horse's back, or she was part of the angry horse!

Not only did she press firmly on the horse's back, she also tried to reach out to soothe the horse's emotions.

She reached out and patted the King of Hell's back on the furious horse. Her movements were firm and gentle. Even though the King of Hell ignored her, she still tried to maintain this steady and gentle rhythm.

People stared in amazement, watching the horse spinning like a top, watching it run and neigh wildly, and finally, seeing it finally seem to be tired and slow down.

Finally, the horse stopped. It looked extremely tired, and its eyes were blank. It was a pair of eyes without any emotion after being washed by fear and anger.

Ye Tianhui held the reins in her hand, pursed her thin lips, and sat on the horse's back.

At this time, more people in the slaughterhouse were shocked. The person in charge and the gatekeeper of the slaughterhouse all ran over and looked at this scene in surprise. People

saw that the girl's face was pale and bloodless, but she was calm enough and her eyes were sharp.

She sat high on the back of the fierce horse, her body was slender and tough, like an unstoppable warrior.

Ye Tianhui looked at everyone.

The scene was silent. A butcher's thigh was dripping with blood. His pants and soles were already a red mess.

He had just been kicked by the King of Hell.

Amid the sound of blood dripping, Ye Tianhui spoke: "I bought this horse. Now it is mine. I will not let it hurt anyone again, but no one can hurt it."

She announced.
