"Where's Dad?" Ye Ningbai asked, looking into Gong Qiming's eyes.

Gong Qiming did not expect that Ye Ningbai would suddenly ask Father Gong, and was speechless for a moment. He didn't want to lie to Ye Ningbai, but he was afraid that telling the truth would make Ye Ningbai sad.This is also the reason why Gong Qiming didn't mention Gongfu for so many days.

"I know, Dad is no longer here." Every time Ye Ningbai said a word, Gong Qiming's heart would tremble twice, "Don't hide it from me, I already know."

Gong Qiming opened his mouth and didn't say anything. At this moment, he no longer wanted to guess who told Ye Ningbai about this, he only cared about whether Ye Ningbai's emotions would collapse.

"If I don't ask you, will you keep it from me?" Ye Ningbai asked with a sudden bitter smile.

"Ningbai, it's not what you think, just listen to my explanation..." Gong Qiming was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ye Ningbai.

"Explain what? Explain that you chose me between me and Dad, or justify yourself?" Ye Ningbai's cold tone hurt Gong Qiming's heart, "No matter what you think, I don't care. Dad, where is he... now?"

Gong Qiming was not angry at Ye Ningbai because of her aggressive tone, she was already very happy that she could take the initiative to talk to him.

"Dad is at the funeral home now, I'll take you to see it when I'm full." Gong Qiming knew that Ye Ningbai was most concerned about the situation of his father at the moment, so he hurriedly said.

Ye Ningbai nodded, got up and left.

"Ningbai, I'm sorry, I know you hate me, and I will do my best to make it up to you in the future." Seeing Ye Ningbai walking further and further away, Gong Qiming said anxiously.

Ye Ningbai did not stop because of Gong Qiming's words, but strode forward, and returned to the room within ten seconds.The Gong family became as deserted as it was a few days ago, Gong Qiming sat on the sofa exhausted, staring at the ticking clock in a daze.

The servant quickly brought the food to the table, and Gong Ruixuan ran out of the room following the scent.Gong Qiming pointed to Ye Ningbai's closed door upstairs, and motioned for Gong Ruixuan to call her down for dinner.

Gong Ruixuan understood, but before he could reach the stairs, the door opened.Ye Ningbai went downstairs without looking at Gong Qiming, and went to the table to eat on her own.

Ye Ningbai's cold attitude has lasted for several days, and Gong Qiming's discomfort from the beginning has become a little habit, which makes him a little unbelievable.Gong Qiming knew that the reason Ye Ningbai came down so quickly today was because he had to go to the funeral parlor by himself later, so he hurried to eat.

In fact, Ye Ningbai has no appetite at all. All the illusions she is doing now are for Gong Ruixuan. She doesn't want her son to be in an atmosphere where his parents are arguing and fighting coldly when he is at home. Now she has tried very hard to restrain himself own up.

Ye Ningbai put down the bowl and chopsticks, and waited for Gong Qiming.As if thinking of something, she turned around and said to Gong Ruixuan who was obediently eating, "Mom will go out with Dad later, baby go to bed early at night."

"Don't worry, mom." Gong Ruixuan nodded.

The two of them left the house soon. At this time, the sky outside had become a little gray, and the people were so gloomy that they couldn't breathe, just like Ye Ningbai's mood at the moment.

Although Ye Ningbai was sitting in the co-pilot, the two of them didn't say a word during the journey.Ye Ningbai tilted her head, looking at the shops and hurried pedestrians passing by outside the window.The car took some trails that Ye Ningbai didn't know about, and soon a dark-colored building appeared in front of Ye Ningbai's eyes, which must be the funeral parlor.

"Mr. Gong, you're here." The staff at the door greeted someone who recognized him.

The staff took the two of them into a room and then backed out.The temperature in the funeral home where the corpses are stored is always lower than normal. When Ye Ningbai saw the ice coffin in the middle, his body trembled uncontrollably.Gong Qiming wanted to step forward to help Ye Ningbai, but she pushed her hand away.

Inside the ice coffin lies the palace father, the loving old man who was chatting and laughing with him a week ago has now turned into a cold corpse, lifeless.Ye Ningbai held back her tears, she knew that the palace father didn't want to see her cry.

The sleeve on the palace father's side was empty, although the face of the palace father who had put on make-up was not so grim, Ye Ningbai could still feel the miserable situation at that time through some small details.At this moment, Ye Ningbai had a thousand words in his heart that he wanted to say to this loving old man, but he couldn't open his eyes to look at himself.

The father of the palace is like his own father. He has accompanied Ye Ningbai through many difficulties. At this moment, Ye Ningbai's heart is extremely cold.She clenched her fists so hard that she didn't even feel her nails digging into her flesh.

Suddenly, a pair of warm hands wrapped Ye Ningbai's cold hands.Gong Qiming was afraid that Ye Ningbai would be too emotional and hurt himself, so he stood silently behind her and accompanied her.

Ye Ningbai didn't remember how she got back in the car, she closed her tired eyes, pressed her cheek against the window, trying to calm herself down with the cold.Speechless all the way, Gong Qiming knew that Ye Ningbai didn't need others to comfort her at this moment, some things still needed to be accepted by herself, and others couldn't help her get through this hurdle.

When Ye Ningbai returned to Gong's house and saw the closed door of the palace father, he finally couldn't help it, and burst into tears.Gong Ruixuan ran out when he heard the movement, trying to wrap his short arms around Ye Ningbai's body.

"Mom, don't cry, Grandpa will be upset." Ye Ningbai hugged Gong Ruixuan when she heard the words, tears flowed down her cheeks onto Gong Ruixuan's clothes, making her dizzy.

It turned out that Gong Ruixuan knew about it a long time ago, Ye Ningbai felt a sore nose when she thought of this, and put more force on her son's arm.

Ye Ningbai gradually calmed down, she couldn't fall down, the palace father's funeral had not been done yet, she had to be strong.Ye Ningbai wiped away her tears, kissed her son's hair, and coaxed him to go back to sleep.

"Ning Bai, the dead are gone, and the living are like this." Gong Qiming said with a sigh.

"Gong Qiming, you don't understand anything!" Ye Ningbai's forbearance finally broke out, and he shouted loudly, "You don't understand at all!"

Gong Qiming knew that Ye Ningbai was feeling uncomfortable, so he let her lose her temper.But Gong Qiming's indifference turned into indifference in Ye Ningbai's eyes, yes, how deep can Gong Qiming, who has lost his memory, have such deep feelings for his father?

Ye Ningbai laughed back in anger, turned around and went upstairs with red eyes.Ye Ningbai returned to the room, looked at everything in the room indifferently, and some thoughts became more and more determined.

At night, Ye Ningbai still turned her back to Gong Qiming, she closed her eyes that were red and swollen and sore from crying, but she didn't feel sleepy, her mind was filled with the loving smile of her father.

"Gong Qiming." Ye Ningbai knew that he was still asleep.

"En." Gong Qiming said lightly.

"Father's funeral..." Ye Ningbai choked up.

Gong Qiming hugged Ye Ningbai into his arms and said softly, "I've already made arrangements, and it will be held in two days."

Ye Ningbai nodded lightly, his consciousness plunged into darkness.At night Ye Ningbai had a long, long dream, and when she woke up, she felt lost.The sky was gray and it was only two o'clock in the morning.Because of crying last night, Ye Ningbai's eyes were sore, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the funeral, Ye Ningbai was wearing a black dress and pulling Gong Ruixuan to stand solemnly in front of the ice coffin, her unpainted face looked extraordinarily pale.Gong Qiming led the old comrades who came to mourn Gongfu's father. The funeral was going on in an orderly manner, and the quietness made people tremble.

When the master of ceremonies read out his condolences, a gust of wind blew up, lifting the corners of Ye Ningbai's skirt.Gong Ruixuan stood quietly beside Ye Ningbai. He had experienced great sorrow and great joy when he was young, and this moment was especially distressing.

Ye Ningbai only felt that the whole sky was gray. She lost her child and her loving father in the same day.Those who came were all comrades-in-arms who lived and died with the palace father, and the feelings among soldiers were all condensed in solemn salutes.Finally, the coffin was sealed and buried, and the funeral came to an end, and everything was over.

Ye Ningbai and Gong Qiming sent off Father Gong's comrades-in-arms, and returned to the original indifferent way of getting along.

"I still have something to do, you can take Ruixuan home first." Ye Ningbai said indifferently without looking away.

Ye Ningbai dropped his voice, leaving behind Gong Qiming who was standing there.

"Hello? Is that Miss Zhang? I'm Ye Ningbai, would like to ask if you have time?" Ye Ningbai dialed a number.

"Okay, see you in ten minutes." Ye Ningbai hung up the phone and stopped a taxi with his hand.

"Driver, go to the law firm." Ye Ningbai said, pointing to the name on the business card.

Gong Qiming took Gong Ruixuan home after finishing the trivial matters after the funeral. The little guy pouted all the way, looking sullen.When Gong Qiming was waiting for the red light, he tilted his head to look at Gong Ruixuan.

"What does Ruixuan want to eat, dad will take you to buy it." Gong Qiming asked flatteringly.

Children's emotions are not hidden like adults, and their emotions are displayed on their faces.To Gong Qiming's surprise, Gong Ruixuan shook his head and said sensiblely, "Daddy buy it for mom. Mom is even more sad than me. She also lost a baby."

Gong Qiming was speechless, he suddenly realized that he didn't know Ye Ningbai so well, her little habits, and her preferences.The previous self probably loved Ye Ningbai very much, which made her give willingly, and was willing to stay by his side even with bruises all over her body.

Gong Qiming drove home directly, wanting the servants to find out about Ye Ningbai's preferences.Seeing Gong Qiming's humbly asking for advice, the servant sighed, if he could have cared about Madam earlier, the relationship between Madam and Mr. Gong would not be as stiff as it is now.

When Ye Ningbai came out of the law firm, it was already dark, so she went home directly.To her surprise, Gong Qiming was serving her a bowl of porridge.With trembling lips, Ye Ningbai looked at the man at the table who was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.
