Chapter 547 The happiest and the most pitiful person (2)
“Firstly, you don’t like it.” Gong Jue reached out to remove the big golden crown on her head, his chin slightly raised, as he smiled softly, “You don’t like me killing people for such a small matter, you always say, if it doesn’t cross my bottom line, it’s better to strengthen myself than to dwell on with those people. At that time, if I did something to the noble imperial consorts, I was afraid that there would be loose ends and you would be dragged into this mess, so I behaved myself for the past two years.”
Gong Yimo nodded, but it was because she didn’t know about this, if she knew that Gong Jue had so much resentment within him, even if he didn’t want revenge, she would teach them a lesson! He shouldn’t hold back his anger, it’ll twist his mind!
“There is another reason, it’s also about you.”
Gong Yimo looked at him with wide eyes.
At this moment, Gong Jue’s smile was extremely soft, and the corridor at the waterside pavilion was quiet, the faint moonlight cast down, lightening Gong Jue’s face.
“Because of you, I’m content with life.”
Gong Yimo was taken aback.
“I sometimes think that the reason I’ve suffered and was insulted before was because……you’ll come to my side.”
Gong Yimo looked up confusedly, she met with his gaze, cold, clear, but it was full of her reflection.
“In this world, there is no one more beautiful, outstanding, and kind-hearted than you, but you entered my world and dragged me out from the dark to the light. You care about me, take good care of me, and teached me how to read chinese vocabs……”
“Right after I started to gain back favouritism, the first thing you did was to do business with your grandfather. I often saw you all tired out as you fell asleep on the table. When I asked you, is money that important? You said, if you make a lot of money now, I’ll have someone to depend on in the future, so even if I hated looking at the account books, I studied hard on it for more than a month and started to take over these businesses.”
“You noticed that my career wasn’t going well, you wanted my father to use me, but you were also afraid that I would be sent to some distant place and persecuted there, so you studied intensely about the geology of Xizhou, so you could think of a way to send me there, to Grandpa, so that I could be both safe and also be able to prove myself.”
At that moment, a soft “click” sounded, Gong Jue unlocked the crown on top of Gong Yimo’s head, held her hair with both hands, and then flicked it to the back. Gong Yimo’s hair was set loose, and it formed a beautiful arc under the night sky, before falling down.
“Look at you, not only did you give me care, hope, and skills, but also what all man in the world would want to have, monstrous amounts of wealth and power.”
You always say that you want to give me the best things in life, and with you by my side, what right do I have to seek revenge and complain about my past sorrows?
He placed the golden crown on the floor and cupped Gong Yimo’s face with both hands. At this moment, she was dumbfounded, her eyes widened, and she had long forgotten that she was furious and angry.
There seemed to be starlight in his eyes, and softness in his gaze.
“Having you, I’m the happiest person in this world, but if you just want to give me wealth and power, but not your love, then I would rather……to not have met you from the very beginning!”
“Perhaps the darkness, pain, struggles and the twisted headspace, would be better as compared to having you then losing you. That will only drive me crazy, and remind me of all that hatred, turning me back into the person before I met you!
“But you’re thinking of doing so, you be the judge, am I pitiful?”
