Chapter 1576: In This Life, I Only Want You
Before Gu Meng went to Ye Qing’s palace, she made a call.
The butler answered and Gu Meng asked, “Hello, I want to ask if His Highness is in the palace?”
Gu Meng spoke with a strangled voice on purpose.
The butler was stunned for a moment before he quickly replied, “May I ask who you are?”
“I’m Gu Meng’s friend. She left a passport in the palace. If it’s convenient, she would like to come and take it.”
“His Highness is not in the palace. If Miss Gu wants to take it, please come over now!”
After the butler finished the call, he quickly called Ye Qing.
“Someone just called, saying that she’s Miss Gu’s friend and wanted to come to the palace to get her passport, but I could tell that it was Miss Gu’s voice.”
Ye Qing was working in the office when he heard the butler’s words. His tall and cold body immediately stood up from the leather chair. “What did you tell her?”
“I told her to come to the palace to get her passport.”
“I’ll go back now. Keep her there.”
“Alright.”
...
After calling the butler, Gu Meng immediately hailed a taxi.
When they arrived at the entrance of the palace, the attitude of the guards standing at the sentry post had a 360-degree change from the last time.
“Miss Gu, please come in. I apologize for offending you last time.”
Gu Meng knew that they were following orders and would not blame them.
When they arrived at the palace, the butler welcomed them personally. “Miss Gu, you’re here. Please come in.”
Gu Meng stood at the door, not moving. “Butler, can I trouble you to take out my passport?”
The butler looked like he was in a difficult position. “Miss Gu, to be honest, I don’t know where His Highness put your passport either. You know that as servants, we can’t rummage through His Highness’ things. Why don’t you go and look for it yourself? Or I can call His Highness and ask him to come back and give it to you?”
In order to avoid seeing Ye Qing, Gu Meng did not let the butler call him.
She went upstairs herself. She first went to the study to look for it but could not find it and then went to his bedroom.
No one dared to touch the things in his room, so the drawers were not locked.
She had searched everywhere but there was no passport in sight.
Was he hiding it?
Gu Meng was about to go downstairs to ask the butler when the sound of a car engine suddenly sounded.
Gu Meng went to the bedroom balcony and glanced downstairs.
A black Rolls-Royce stopped in the yard and a man wearing a well-ironed suit got out of the car, his perfectly ironed black suit pants wrapped around his long legs. Before he walked into the palace, he glanced upstairs.
Meeting his deep and cold eyes, Gu Meng’s fan-like eyelashes fluttered.
Their eyes met for a few seconds before she looked away.
He came back so quickly. The butler must have informed him.
Forget it, she could not find where he had placed her passport anyway.
Gu Meng went to the bedroom door and after a while, she saw the man come upstairs.
He had taken off his coat and was wearing a custom-made white shirt. He looked tall and handsome.
When he came closer, Gu Meng said, “I came to get my passport.”
Ye Qing pursed his lips tightly, not replying as he strode toward the bedroom.
Gu Meng thought that he was going in to take her passport. After hesitating for a few seconds, she followed him in.
But after a few steps, she saw him lifting his long fingers to undo the exquisite buttons one by one and then take off his shirt.
Looking at his naked upper body, Gu Meng glanced from his firm and broad shoulders to his slender waist, her fair ears turning red.
“You... Why are you taking off your clothes?” She turned around hurriedly and stopped looking at him.
“I’ve been busy the whole day. I’ll go take a bath first.”
Gu Meng said, “Give me your passport before having your bath.”
He looked at her slender back and smirked, laughing softly. “I can’t remember where I put it at the moment. I haven’t had a good rest in the past few days and my mind is a little muddled. Let me take a bath to sober up.”
Gu Meng was speechless. She knew that he was doing it on purpose!
...
Half an hour later.
The man then came out of the bathroom.
He had changed into loose and casual home clothes. His short black hair, which was still slightly wet, covered his forehead messily. He had shaved the stubble on his chin and without his suit and leather shoes, he looked much younger.
Hearing the sound, Gu Meng looked up at him.
He was also looking at her, his dark eyes dark.
Gu Meng’s heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be calm. “Give me your passport. I still have something on and have to go.”
“Going back to Y Country with your mother?”
Gu Meng hummed in reply.
Before Ye Qing could say anything, the butler came over and knocked on the door. “Your Highness, the butler from the Queen’s Palace just sent this over.”
The butler passed a photo album to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing took it and flipped through it. Gu Meng stood beside Ye Qing and from the corner of her eye, she happened to see several photos of socialites and young ladies in the photo album.
Ye Qing glanced at it and threw the photo album to the butler.
“Don’t show this to me in the future.”
Seeing Ye Qing’s dark expression, the butler hummed in agreement and left hurriedly with the photo album.
There was a dead silence in the air.
Ye Qing looked at Gu Meng. “Xiaomeng, apart from you, I won’t marry anyone else.”
“The Queen is anxious about your marriage. Why don’t you choose carefully? Maybe there’s someone you like!”
Ye Qing looked at Gu Meng, who had no expression on her face. He narrowed his eyes. “Are you jealous?” His large hand took her hand.
But in the next second, she shook him off ruthlessly.
“Ye Qing, your Grandma has always looked down on me. She asked you to choose a socialite that is worthy of you. You should listen to her!”
Ye Qing’s well-defined face darkened. “Xiaomeng, you can be angry at me, but I don’t like you pushing me to another woman.”
“It’s not me pushing you to another woman, it’s your grandmother. She can’t wait for you to marry a princess consort!”
“My attitude towards you was bad a few days ago. My grandma probably thought that I really forgot about you, so she sent someone to send the photo album over.” Ye Qing raised his hand and caressed Gu Meng’s small and exquisite face, looking at her with his dark eyes. “Xiaomeng, I won’t stop you if you want to return to the country with your mother. After all, you should acknowledge your ancestors, but don’t reject me. Give me a chance and let me pursue you properly, alright?”
His dark eyes were like two deep whirlpools, wanting to suck her in.
Her eyelashes fluttered and she was almost enchanted by him.
She pulled his hand away from her face. “What if I don’t give it to you?” She raised her eyes and looked at his handsome face. “Even if you pretended to forget about me because you had no choice, have you thought about it? If I didn’t wake up that night, Sister Ling Hui and I would have been beaten up!”
