Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering - Chapter 1551
Chapter 1551: Jealous
Ye Qing’s dark eyes looked at Gu Meng and he pursed his lips slightly. “I’m fine. Only Jiang Qi was injured.”
Jiang Qi?
Gu Meng froze for a second before she realized that Ye Qing was talking about the substitute he was supporting.
Gu Meng’s gaze landed on the substitute again.
Although she had seen the figure of the substitute on the news every day for the past few days, at a close distance, after finding out that she had changed her appearance, she really looked like her…
Clear black eyes, a pretty nose, and red lips.
She leaned against Ye Qing’s shoulder weakly, her lips moving when she saw Gu Meng looking at her. “Miss Gu.”
Gu Meng regained her senses and hurried forward. “Did you call the doctor? I’ll take her to her room.”
Gu Meng quietly helped this substitute called Jiang Qi over from Ye Qing.
“The doctor will come over later. I’ll leave Jiang Qi to you first. I’ll go and interrogate K.”
Gu Meng nodded and helped Jiang Qi to one of the guest rooms upstairs.
A bullet had grazed Jiang Qi’s arm and the skin was broken. Gu Meng cleaned her wound and stopped the bleeding.
When she looked up, she found that Jiang Qi was looking at her strangely.
Seeing Gu Meng looking at her, Jiang Qi looked away, her expression cold.
Gu Meng did not know where Ye Qing had found this substitute, but she could feel that this substitute did not like her very much.
After a while, the doctor came over.
The doctor bandaged the wound on Jiang Qi’s arm. Jiang Qi lay on the bed and said coldly, “Miss Gu, please send the doctor out. I’m a little tired and want to rest.”
The doctor was a private doctor in Ye Qing’s palace. Before he came, he had already known that the person who was injured was a substitute.
However, did the substitute treat herself as his wife?
The doctor glanced at Gu Meng. Seeing that she had a calm expression and left first, he did not say anything else and followed behind her.
…
In the evening.
Ye Qing was not back yet, so Gu Meng asked the servant to call the substitute downstairs for dinner.
After a while, the servant came down. “Miss Jiang said that she’s tired and doesn’t want to come down to eat. She asked me to send it up.”
Gu Meng said, “Send it up!”
Little Gugu came back from school. “Mommy, I’m not eating in the palace today. Brother Yuyu and Sister Tiantian asked me to go to their place. I might not be back tonight!”
Gu Meng wrapped up some of the pastries she had made during the day. “Go and share them with your brothers and sisters.”
“Okay, Mom. Remember to miss me when I’m not in the palace tonight!”
Gu Meng smiled and waved at Little Gugu. “Don’t be naughty and listen to your brothers and sisters.”
Little Gugu skipped away with the butler.
Gu Meng went to the back garden to take a walk alone. When she returned, she saw that Ye Qing’s car was parked in the yard and she quickly went into the palace.
After asking the servant, she learned that Ye Qing had returned upstairs.
Gu Meng went upstairs.
She knocked on the bedroom door, but no one responded.
She went to the study again, but there was still no one there.
Gu Meng walked toward her guest room in confusion. When she passed by the guest room where the substitute was staying, she heard Ye Qing’s voice coming from inside. “Rest well and let your heal injuries as soon as possible.”
“Your Highness, don’t worry. I won’t drag you down.”
Jiang Qi’s voice was extremely soft, completely different from her cold attitude towards Gu Meng.
Gu Meng seemed to have thought of something and smiled.
…
Ye Qing came out from Jiang Qi’s guest room and glanced at the room Gu Meng was in. Seeing that the door was open and that Gu Meng was not inside, he went downstairs.
He looked around but did not see Gu Meng.
“Your Highness, are you looking for Miss Gu?” The servant asked cautiously when she saw Ye Qing looking around.
Ye Qing hummed coldly.
“Miss Gu went to the back garden.”
Ye Qing strode toward the back garden.
He had not walked far before he saw Gu Meng standing in front of the flowerbed. He was about to walk toward her when he realized that she was video calling someone.
“Brother Fu, he has already caught the assassin. He went to interrogate him and should know who the mastermind is very soon. When we find out who it is, I will go back to Italy to accompany you.”
Hearing Gu Meng’s words, Ye Qing stopped.
Glancing at Gu Meng’s beautiful side profile, Ye Qing lowered his dark eyes and paused for a few seconds before he turned and left.
…
After the video call with Fu Cheng, Gu Meng’s heart was extremely heavy.
Fu Cheng looked thinner than before.
His condition seemed to be getting worse.
Gu Meng sat alone in the back garden for a long time before she got up and returned to her room.
After taking a bath, she lay on the bed in her pajamas.
Her mind was filled with many thoughts and she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
She still did not feel sleepy at midnight. She was a little hungry, so she got up.
Standing in the corridor, she looked at the master bedroom and then at the guest room.
It was dark under the crack of the door. Ye Qing and Jiang Qi should be asleep!
When she went downstairs and passed by the living room, Gu Meng found that the television was not switched off.
She walked over and stared. There was a tall figure sitting on the sofa.
Ye Qing was wearing a black V-neck sweater and dark-colored leisure pants as he sat on the sofa, the remote control still in his hand. He leaned his head against the back of the sofa, his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep.
The light reflected from the television screen landed on his well-defined face. The coldness and sharpness he had when he was awake was gone, replaced by an unguarded innocence.
Gu Meng walked over and saw the faint tiredness in his eyes. Thinking that he might not have rested for several nights in order to catch the assassin who had shot her, the resentment in her heart dissipated.
She bent down and took the remote control away from him.
But the moment she took the remote control away, her slender wrist was suddenly grabbed by him.
Before she could react, she was pulled into his firm and broad embrace.
Gu Meng gasped and looked up, meeting the man’s eyes that were slowly opening. “You weren’t fall asleep?”
They were too close to each other and she could smell the refreshing scent and faint aftershave on him. It was only then that she realized that he had shaved his stubble clean at night and his firm and sharp face looked much younger.
He looked at her with his dark eyes. “K hasn’t confessed yet. I’m waiting for the interrogation results.”
Gu Meng saw the redness in his eyes. “Thank you for your trouble. You’ve worked so hard for me.”
The moment she finished speaking, his large palm pinched her slender waist. “Why are you so polite to me?”
“Of course, I’m not anyone to you.”
Ye Qing narrowed his deep and narrow eyes, looking at her thoughtfully. “Are you unhappy?”
Gu Meng’s heart skipped a beat and her fingers brushed away the hair by her cheeks. “When was I unhappy?”
“Tell me, why are you unhappy? Because of Fu Cheng’s condition?”
“Yes.”
Ye Qing let go of Gu Meng’s waist. “When we find out who the mastermind is, you can accompany him!”
When Gu Meng heard his tone, an unknown anger rose in her heart. She had originally wanted to spend Fu Cheng’s last days with him, but hearing it from Ye Qing made her unhappy.
“Do you want me to leave now? After all, you have a young girl with a similar appearance and figure to me!”
