Chapter 71: Nibbling His Ear (2)
Gong Che dipped a towel in a basin of water to wipe Gong Yi Mo's face. The young girl's cheeks were flushed red as she slept. He couldn't help but laugh at the sight. "You're such a little villain. This Prince Brother rushed to find you, but not only did you refuse to send me a letter, you even sleep so peacefully."
He spoke gently while lightly pinching her cheeks. Her face was as tender as an infant's. It was Gong Che's first time feeling something so soft.
Perhaps due to the pain, Gong Yi Mo unexpectedly opened her eyes and looked up in confusion as she struggled to recognize this young man.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
"Brother... Crown Prince?"
Gong Che smiled brightly at her; his whole body seemed to relax at her presence. Just when he was about to speak, Gong Yi Mo interrupted him. Her eyes blinked wearily as she spoke,
"I'm sorry..."
Gong Che stared at her in a daze. He couldn't figure out what reason she had to apologize to him.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to cause your grandfather's death."
Upon hearing her words, Gong Che's face gradually showed the grief he had kept to himself. His grandfather's funeral was handled in a low key manner. After his body was sent away, the Main Hall functioned like before as if the Right Minister had never existed.
He said these words as a joke, but when he finished, he suddenly felt distress. Despite his words, deep inside, he actually didn't like the idea of Gong Yi Mo marrying.
He never expected Gong Yi Mo to wearily open her eyes after hearing him speak of marriage.
"I won't marry..."
"Hm?"
Only then did she open her eyes and looked up at him firmly; her eyes were bright and watery while her pale face had a distinct pink blush. When she spoke, her gaze had a moment of sobriety and calmness.
"I said, I will never marry in this life."
After stating her resolve, Gong Yi Mo once succumbed to her drunkenness. Gong Che was stunned after hearing her words. "Why? As a woman... how could you not marry?"
Gong Yi Mo smiled and closed her eyes.
She mumbled, "I swore to myself..."。
Her voice was becoming even more faint, so he leaned his ear even closer to her lips to hear her response.
"And?"
"..." Gong Yi Mo squinted as she looked up at his profile. When she saw his jade-like ears actually blush with a tinge of red, Gong Yi Mo didn't even think as she leaned forward and bit down!
