Husband Doting Wife: Emperor Gu’s Shameless Perfect Bride - Chapter 275
“Mom!” She complained as she stomped her foot to the floor.
Gu Bojing, husband of the shameless woman who has been thrown in the middle of the fights finally spoke. “I wouldnt mind talking to Grandmother since no one here can do it.”
Everyone:”..-_-…” Good now he is attacking us all.
Mo Ai:”..^.^…” that is the man I trained.
Chairwoman Mo waved her hand at him. “It’s fine. I will just talk to Mom myself. She can be quite a handful sometimes. And You twins…” she turned to the troublesome two. “Do not try to pick on your big sister again.”
XIAO Ai pouts and rushes to her hubby for a hug. “Only hubby dotes on me.”
He had no choice but to pat her back and assure her. “Yes yes…hubby will continue to dote on you.”
She stuck out her tongue to Hannah after he said this and Hannah looked away with disgust. It was high time she got herself a boyfriend too.
Dongai wasnt bothered with whatever they were doing anymore and was more interested in what Bolin had said. It was something he was sure of that Little Fool has indeed taken Xiao Ais place in wherever he might be. And if so, will they not need to bring him back too? Or were they all not worried about whether he lived or died because he seem like a bad person?
Since the doctor has advised that Grandfather Mo needs a lot of rest, chairwoman Mo left to inform Grandmother Mo about the state of her husbands health, leaving thekids with her father. Dongai called Xiao ai to a side for some talk.
Hannah was the first to talk when they left. “Funny enough those two might have actually left us here and gone to do God knows what.”
Gu Bojing gave her a faint smile and looks away. His mind was not at ease because he knew that they probably wanted to discuss Littel fools disappearance. It was not that he did not want his cousin to return, he just somehow, no matter how wicked it might sound, likes it this way. With no little Fool in his way.
Dongai releases Xiao Ais hand after they got a secluded part.
“Exactly where did you go for the time you were missing?”
Knowing that it wont help her if she lied since he had already seen past her, she truthfully answered. “A place that isnt nice.”
“Xiao Ai…” he warned and she gives in.
“A man with a scythe and sadistic appearance took me away. I was sisyphus for God knows how long.” She rolled up the sleeve of her dress and showed him the slightly purplish mark that was on her arms. “I rolled a huge rock up a small hill only to watch it fall again. That was my punishment.”
Shaking his head,he asked while checking the marks. “Punishment for what? Excatly what wrong have you done again to be punished like that?”
She shook her head. “I have no idea as well. But…perhaps its punishment from my past life. A continuation probably.”
He scoffed and rolled her sleeves down. Although his heart ached badly for his little sister he did not show it. He knew Xiao Ai would hate for anyone to think she is pitiful or needs sympathy. “Like you know what you did in your past life.”
Smiling she responded. “I wiped out a whole city for a man. Is that evil enough to warrant such punishment?” She asked in a sarcastic manner.
Dongai first rolls his eyes. “Even if you were in a past life, you wouldn’t be that type of person. I guess.” He adds. “So that means Little fool is also…”
“Rolling a rock up a hill only to watch it fall again.”
“The most baffling is how he got to know that he could take the punishment on your behalf and how he did it.”
Xiao Ai went silent for a while before talking. “I know how. It was a lie when he said he wanted to come here to look for me. The bastard already knew what he wanted to do.”
Interested, Dongai paid more attention to her. “Who could it be that helped him? Do you think he has access to things like that. I think he has always been an atheist.”
She smiled. A mysterious one. “He does not believe in it. But he has someone who does.”
Dongai taps his fingers on the railing he was resting on as he waited for Xiao ai to speak.
“Dream man.”
First a frown formed on his face, before the realisation kicked in. He looked around and grabbed Xiao Ais hand..”that person. That non existence person?”
She nods as she looks past him. “One of his ultimate gifts.” She concentrates on a place ahead before saying. “You know if I had gotten there earlier, I would have had you for a gift instead of him.”
Dongai who was facing her quickly turns and looks around suspiciously. “Who are you talking to?”
“The one who can invade dreams.”
“Where?”
She shrugged and starts to walk and Dognai quickly tags along with her. “I dont know. He just left.”
“Was he here?”
“Yes but only I can feel his presence.”
Confused he asked. “How? Why?”
“Because little Fool gave me access to feel his presence. Although I cannot boss him around since I dont own him, I can actually feel when he is around..he come and goes like the gust of the wind. And is really effective in carrying out his work.”
“So will he be bringing Little fool back?”
She paused an threw an arm on her brothers shoulder. “No bro. Little Fool is gone. Let’s just accept that. The only person that can tell us how to get him back is the one who gave him access to leave which is dream man. And he doesnt talk to me. So…” she shrugged..
“Poor little Fool. Doing all that for love. All because of someone who doesn’t even care about him or anyone else but only about herself.”
Xiao AI removes her arm from his shoulder and asks. “Is that person supposed to be me?”
“How would I know. Oh..Poor guy.”
“There is no way we can access Dream man.” She cleared.
He turned to her. “If you were truly worried about him then you would find ways to access the only person or being that can bring back someone who has done such huge favor for you.” He took in a deep breath. “You really have changed lot over the time I wasnt around. I know you have always been selfish and only cared about yourself but it has gotten worse. Now you dont even care what happens to others.”
She frowns before responding to him. “Dont judge me like that brother.”
“I wonder if you will have this same recation for me too.” He walks on then stops to look at her. “If it were me in his situation would you take it with this much levity. Would you be this non chalant?”
“I dont take things with levity. I just cant do anything. What am I supposed to do when I cant do anything?”
“Have you tried doing anything?” She became silent. “You just assumed you couldnt do anything and left it at that without trying. Mo ai, as much as you need to be yourself, you also need to change some bad behaviours that you have. If you dont, it will keep affecting everyone around you.”
She gave a deep sigh before walking past him. “Perhaps because you are a bit close to Littel fool, you cant handle his disappearance and so you are spouting nonsense. When you are back to your right mind brother, let me know.”
Dongai chases after her. “I am being serious. You shouldn’t have such attitude towards someone who helps you like that.”
“So what do you expect me to do then? Die because he helped me? Jesus Christ died for our sins even when we didnt tell him to do a thing yet he isnt bothering us this much. Cant I just be and have peace of mind? Do you want me to go back to that place?”
“If you were there, would you dare to ask for peace of mind? Think about how badly you wanted to leave there when you were there. Would Little fool not be feeling the same?”
She closes her eyes and inhales deeply before opening it. “Fine. What do you want me to do? Die?”
“Attempt to do something. Dont just say its beyond your power.”
“Yes bro. I will. Its definitely not beyond my power. I will try to do something. happy?”
Dongai feels helpless. When did his little girl become like this? YES Xiao Ai used to not care about other people but it was never to a point where she acts like she doesnt care even if someone dies for her.
“Would you behave this same way if it were me?”
Face palming herself, she replies. “No. You are different. You are family. I am sure Littel fool will find his way. I will do something. We will all do something. he will be fine and breathing. Okay?” She was getting tired of talking about the same thing over and over again.
As she takes a step, Dongai calls. “Mo Ai?” She reluctantly turns around.
“I thought we just had an argument. Why call me?”
“If it were Gu Bojing, would you be this not concerned as well?”
“Yes!”
