CEO Above, Me Below

What do you want to know?

Finally hearing her voice, Mu Qianchu calmed down, stared straight ahead with his eyes motionless, stretched out his hand to touch, found the chair and sat down beside her bed.

The breath on his body was as peaceful as ever, like a monk sitting beside her as clear as still water.

It all starts when you meet Gong Ou again.

Shi Xiaonian lay on the bed and said, looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, the room is imitated no matter how similar it is, but the scenery outside the window is still different after all.

There is no vast world, no forest looming in the distance.

Nothing at all.

Only some cellophane cranes are shaking gently.

Sitting there, Mu Qianchu listened to the light noise of those cellophane cranes, lowered his eyes slightly, and said gently, Actually, you have already guessed it in your heart, haven't you?

Some things are not that one person can't figure it out clearly, but that he doesn't want to be so clear.

...

Shi Xiaonian was silent.

Okay, let me say. Mu Qianchu said, Actually, Gong Ou designed to find me, not because he was jealous to kill me, nor because he wanted to teach me a lesson. He came to discuss with me, and the war between Lancaster and him was imminent. , you are the inevitable victim, so he asked me to protect you.

It is said to be a discussion, but the fact is that Gong Ou is begging him.

Mu Qianchu still finds it inconceivable that such a proud person as Gong Ou would kneel down to him, and would ask a man whom he once hated to the bone to protect his woman.

The only explanation is that Gong Ou felt that he had nowhere to go.

He knows how powerful Lancaster is. He has cooperated with Mona before. A Mona is full of scheming and powerful, let alone the entire Lancaster family.

...

Shi Xiaonian lay there and listened quietly. When he heard the last sentence, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face, and he said hoarsely, I guessed it, but he didn't admit it.

She noticed Gong Ou's abnormality again and again, but he always denied it. He kept saying that he would not leave her, and he kept saying that he would always be by her side.

Mu Qianchu sat aside, silent.

Actually, I told him that I am willing to leave him and not be his burden, but he still denies it. Shi Xiaonian said, his hoarse voice carried some sadness that he did not understand until now, It turns out that he has other plans.

This is a dangerous move he made. Judging from Lancaster's recent series of revenge against you, they have long thought of uprooting the Gong family. They must have planted many secret arrangements. People can't touch it.

Mu Qianchu said, The one that will deal with you must be Lancaster's most foolproof move, and its strength must be the largest and most elite. If it only protects you, what kind of moves are those invisible dark moves? Difficult to predict.

Up to now, Shi Xiaonian is not surprised to hear these statements at all, she followed his words, The thing that can be pre-controlled is to let Lancaster strike first.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind.

This is Gong Ou's chess game. He wants to perfectly protect their mother and child, and use them as bait to wipe out Lancaster's hidden power.

Mu Qianchu sat on the chair, frowned, and said, Actually, everything was planned. Lancaster has never done anything to you. One is because the timing is not right, and the other is because the location is wrong. Ou speculates that they are going to attack you in S City, if so, it means that their hidden strength is already very strong.

...

Shi Xiaonian listened quietly without interrupting.

Since then, Gong Ou has been thinking about how to deal with these forces, until you returned to your hometown, he thought of a plan. Mu Qianchu decided to finish everything quickly, these truths are very important to Shi Xiaonian who is injured all over. Huge torment, Publicly humiliating Shi Zhong and his wife, this is also the loophole that Gong Ou deliberately let Lancaster. Lancaster has investigated the relationship between the two of you from childhood to adulthood too clearly, and is using it all.

...

Sure enough, Mona's father was clever but was misled by his cleverness. While he was using Shizhong and his wife, I kept watching secretly. Mu Qianchu said, Later, I found them secretly, and they asked me if Shidi was a I was killed by you and Gong Ou, I did not deny it.

No wonder her adoptive parents hated her so much. It turned out that there was Mu Qianchu as proof.

Shi Xiaonian closed her eyes silently, with a little tear on her long eyelashes.

At that time, even Shizhong and his wife didn't know that the Hill Tribe was Lancaster's stronghold in S City. I just told them the truth of the dead dog, and promised to save them in case. Mu Qianchu said Said, Shizhong and his wife think that you and I are mortal enemies, so they trust me very much, so they always carry small positioning devices with them, and those people in Lancaster will not search them.

Of course, Shi Zhong and his wife hated her deeply, and it was the revenge of losing their daughter. Lancaster saw that they were deceived and would not think that these two people were pawns among the pawns.

...

Shi Xiaonian knew what happened next without Mu Qianchu's explanation, and then Mu Qianchu led people to take down the Hill tribe based on their location.

In fact, everything is under control. The Hill tribe is the base camp, but I thought they should have a retreat route, so I decided to pull up their retreat route as well. Mu Qianchu paused at this point, It's just that I didn't expect that you and Gong Yao would resist desperately and use blood as a mark along the way. I used Gong Ou's method to send you the news, so that you can wait for rescue with peace of mind.

Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian laughed at himself again, tears welled up in his eyes, That's because we are stupid and misunderstood the meaning of that news.

too stupid.

So stupid.

Hearing this, Mu Qianchu frowned, You are in the middle of the game, but you don't know the whole plan. It's not surprising that you are like this. I was negligent.

Without you, we wouldn't even have a chance to survive. Shi Xiaonian said.

Injuries are their own making.

Survival was given by Mu Qianchu and Gong Ou.

The plan was out of desperation. At least this time, we should have smashed all Lancaster's lurking forces in S City. Mu Qianchu sighed softly, I just didn't expect you to suffer such serious injuries. .”

...

Shi Xiaonian lay there without speaking.

Mu Qianchu slowly took out a letter from his body and handed it to her, and said softly, He gave it to you, can you read it?

he?

Shi Xiaonian's eyes froze, she stretched out her hand wrapped in white gauze to take the envelope, and then struggled to sit up from the bed.

Mu Qianchu frowned slightly, Do you need help?

Need not.

As she said so, her face turned pale with all her strength, she supported herself to sit up halfway, and leaned against the head of the bed panting for a while.

Mu Qianchu sat quietly, her eyes were blind, but her hearing became very keen.

Shi Xiaonian's breathing rhythm is in his ears, either fast or slow.

Shi Xiaonian was half-sitting there, her hands were so tightly wrapped that only a few fingers could move. She opened the envelope bit by bit with difficulty, and took out a piece of white A4 paper from inside.

Opening the neatly folded paper, the pen writing on it pierced through the back of the paper, and she could feel the familiar handwriting by hand.

[I still have to lie when I can't, Shi Xiaonian, I'm sorry. 】

Just one line.

There is no lingering, no parting, only such an explanation and an apology.

This is all the explanations Gong Ou gave her.

He had to lie to her, she couldn't know the whole plan, otherwise, the show wouldn't be real.

Xiao Nian, are you okay? Mu Qianchu asked, he could understand Shi Xiaonian's thoughts at the moment, and he said indifferently, You and the child are generals on the chessboard to lure the enemy, and it is also Gong Ou who will swear to death in the end. The one who keeps it.

If you checkmate, you lose the game.

If you don't lure, you won't be able to see the opponent's tricks, which is even more dangerous.

This is a helpless move.

Shi Xiaonian smiled, his eyes were covered with a layer of water, and he turned to look at Mu Qianchu's face.

Mu Qianchu actually spoke for Gong Ou.

Gong Ou actually used her as bait.

Since when did everything not look like what she imagined.

Shi Xiaonian sat on the bed, looked at Mu Qianchu and said, Do you think I will blame Gong Ou? No, his plans are all correct. You see, I would be stupid enough to step into the trap of my adoptive mother. Here, this is also within Gong Ou's expectations, isn't it?

...

Mu Qianchu frowned.

I'm so stupid, even if you tell me all the plans, I'll destroy them. Shi Xiaonian said with a smile, the more water in the eyes of the smile, the more she couldn't stop, I really am Gong Ou's burden, I can't see the trap, I misunderstood the news you gave, and I have caused such scars all on my own, I have no right to blame anyone.

She is stupid, there is no cure for a stupid person.

It would be nice if someone was willing to save her, what else could she do? Nothing can be done.

That's not the case, Xiao Nian, don't underestimate yourself. It's Gong Ou who has been creating a false appearance of peace in front of you. He needs to make you let go of your guard, and you need to think that the situation in front of you is nothing sad. Mu Qianchu said, Just now Because of this, you will step into the trap.

If everyone told her that the current situation has reached the point where you die, she won't step in.

...

So, this is what Gong Ou said, to cheat when you can't.

Well intentioned.

Really well-intentioned.

Xiao Nian, are you crying? Mu Qianchu could tell, Are you still sad that he used you as bait?

No, really not, you planned so well for our ultimate safety consideration, why should I be sad? Shi Xiaonian denied repeatedly, her lips trembling violently.

He really wants to protect you, he has no choice.

Mu Qianchu sat there, pressing one hand to the side of the bed.

You said a lot for Gong Ou today, which I never thought about. Shi Xiaonian said with a smile, she didn't know why she wanted to laugh.

Maybe smile, tears will not fall.
