"I'm very worried." She wished she could take off his clothes right now and see if he was uncomfortable anywhere.
Wearing dark clothes, even if he was injured and bleeding, it wouldn't be noticeable under such lighting.
"I'm fine," Gong Chengjue said. At this moment, the music switched back to loud music. Although she couldn't hear the sound, Su Ziqing could tell from his lip movements that he said he was fine.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but at this point she had absolutely no desire to stay there any longer.
"Shall we go back?" She didn't like staying here.
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Gong Chengjue hummed in agreement.
Sheng Yuanshuo and Luo Ziqi wanted to play a little longer, so they didn't leave with them. Holding Gong Chengjue's hand, Su Ziqing walked ahead somewhat anxiously.
Watching them leave, Sheng Yuanshuo felt he had plenty of gossip to tell, but unfortunately... he couldn't tell anyone.
As soon as they stepped out of the bar, Su Ziqing felt the air was much fresher. She couldn't wait to pull Gong Chengjue into the car, and patted his clothes as soon as she closed the door.
"So impatient?" Gong Chengjue let her touch him all over, even teasing her, with a faint smile in his eyes, as if he was enjoying this treatment.
Luo Jinhan got into the passenger seat and was wondering whether he should get out of the car, wondering if he had done something he shouldn't have.
Oh dear, why has Su Xiaoqing become so passionate?
"Shut up." Su Ziqing glared at him angrily, then touched his body and only felt relieved when she didn't feel anything sticky.
"How about I take off my clothes and let you see?" Gong Chengjue was still in a playful mood.
In return, he received only a cold look from Su Ziqing.
Gong Chengjue used force to grab her wrist and pull her into his arms.
Then he pressed down the partition inside the car and instructed the driver, "Go home."
"Gong Chengjue, be serious." Su Ziqing's face was pressed against his chest, and she could hear his heart pounding.
"I'm perfectly serious," Gong Chengjue laughed. "Or are you thinking about something inappropriate?"
Su Ziqing: "..." Does he think it's fun to tease her?
She pretended to be angry and stopped talking.
Gong Chengjue's smile faded. "Are you angry?"
Su Ziqing continued to ignore her.
Gong Chengjue patted her head. "Are you really angry?"
Su Ziqing still ignored her.
Gong Chengjue straightened her body, cupped her face, and noticed that her complexion was not good. "Ziqing?"
"How many things are you hiding from me?" Su Ziqing felt that the man in front of her was really a stranger.
Gong Chengjue paused for a moment, then released his hand, comfortably lay back in the back seat, and said with a faint smile, "Didn't I say that if you're curious about me, you can come and dig into it?"
If you expect him to tell you on his own initiative, you lose the fun of getting to know him.
Su Ziqing looked at him, "But you won't say..."
"How do you know I won't tell you if you haven't asked?" Gong Chengjue's lips curled up slightly, giving her an affirmative answer. "If you ask, I will tell you."
"Okay, then let me ask you, why did you come to dinner with Sheng Yuanshuo tonight?" She felt it couldn't be such a coincidence.
“I also need to eat dinner. I was discussing business with him, and after we finished, he asked me if I wanted to have dinner together, so I nodded and said yes,” Gong Chengjue replied earnestly.
"Really?" she asked skeptically. "Is Mr. Gong so easily invited to dinner?" Even if it's a close friend, he wouldn't agree so readily if the other person wasn't alone.
Gong Chengjue feigned sympathy, "I'm not easily invited to dinner, but the thought of someone not eating with me tonight, and the idea of eating alone, makes me lose my appetite..."
"Gong Chengjue, you just said you'd tell the truth when I asked you, but you didn't!!" She didn't believe him for a second.
Gong Chengjue held her fingers and played with them. "Well, I'm telling the truth. But there's one more thing I haven't mentioned. I heard that you and Luo Ziqi were having dinner together. Yuan Shuo's current girlfriend is also named Ziqi. I was wondering if we could have dinner together tonight? See, it seems we are destined to meet."
Su Ziqing: "..." This should be the real answer.
But she felt that he was still hiding something.
"How about going to a bar?" It didn't sound like a spur-of-the-moment decision at all, even though they all acted as if it was.
But from the moment he waited for someone at the bar, she knew it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Gong Chengjue did not give a direct answer to this question.
The car was completely silent for a moment. The scenery outside the window rushed by, and the light and shadow flickered on the two people and their faces.
As the car entered the tunnel, the interior suddenly became bright, no longer flickering between light and dark, and she saw his expression.
"Where should I begin?" Gong Chengjue asked, a little troubled. "I'll just say whatever you see, and you'll naturally understand when you piece it all together."
It's like a jigsaw puzzle. At first, there are only pieces of the picture, maybe from different places, and you can't see the whole picture or guess what it is. But as you get to the end, the more pictures you put together, the more you can see.
Su Ziqing sat up straight and stared at him intently.
“I’m from the capital, you know that.” Gong Chengjue pulled her over. “Aren’t you tired of keeping your body straight like this? Come on, lie down here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed her down onto his shoulder.
"Gong Chengjue, stop coaxing me like a puppy, always telling me to be good." Good my foot! She's a person, an adult, not a child or a pet, okay?
"Okay, okay, you don't have to be good." He went along with her.
She fell silent.
“You probably haven’t heard much about the Gong family in City A, but… you must have heard something.” He pinched her nose. “Your reaction when you first met me gave you away.”
Su Ziqing: "..." How could this man have such sharp eyes? She thought she had pretended to be perfect.
“Nominally speaking, I am the eldest grandson of the Gong family, right?” Gong Chengjue said calmly. “Except for those with deep family wealth, no one else knows that I am not the son of the current Madam Gong.”
Su Ziqing was taken aback. "What?"
"For the sake of the family, my mother is the current Madam Gong." He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint sarcasm.
"Then... what about your mother?" Is she divorced, or dead?
Su Ziqing knew the Gong family was complicated, so she wasn't too surprised to hear such news, but she still found it strange.
Gong Chengjue patted her head and remained silent. "I don't know."
"No, I don't know?" This was not the answer she expected.
"It's possible that we don't know, that he's dead, or that he's been hidden away," Gong Chengjue chuckled.
Su Ziqing couldn't sit still any longer and looked at him.
But his face remained calm. "Didn't you think about going to look for him?"
