Chapter 355 - Seeing But Still Missing (2)

Gong Yimo smiled. "For the people in charge of this matter as well as the fleet, we may choose one half from each country to form a single fleet. Only, for the person in charge..."

Gong Che suddenly looked at her expectantly.

"What is it about the person in charge?"

Gong Yimo blinked her eyes. Then, she smiled, "Since His Highness has made the proposal, may this one take up the responsibility of the person in charge?"

"You?"

Gong Che's eyes flickered. "You are a close relative of His Second Highness of Yuheng, and not my own confidant. How can I trust you?"

Gong Yimo smiled.

She poured a cup of tea for Gong Che.

"In terms of interests, Dayu has both the land and the resources. There is much to be gained in this transaction for Yuheng, so we will not dare to do anything that may destroy our treaty."

Gong Che only sipped on his tea and did not speak.

When he saw the earnestness in his eyes, Gong Yimo suddenly felt quite uneasy. She sighed. "She says...that if you meet again, she wishes to know whether you are still willing to remain her sibling."

She should not have said this, but when she saw his face pale, she felt even more uncomfortable.

"Siblings?" Gong Che looked at her, then at the dagger. After a long time, he chuckled bitterly.

"I agree to you being in charge, but I hope you will also pass on a word in my stead."

Gong Yimo raised her hand as a gesture for him to continue and still revealed no flaws.

Gong Che was looking at her, but he also seemed like he was looking at someone else through her.

In the end, he sighed helplessly and said, "Please tell her we may share whatever relationship she pleases, I only hope that she returns."

Gong Yimo was stunned again. She couldn't say what she was feeling in her heart. After a while, she came back to her senses and responded solemnly, "I will definitely pass on your word."

After saying this, Gong Yimo tried again to shift the subject to something else.

During this period, Gong Che kept on looking at her with a deep gaze with a sense of probing. This caused her to feel uneasy, and she got up to excuse herself in just a short while.

"Will you be leaving tonight?"

Before she left, Gong Che asked with his cup in hand.

Gong Yimo nodded. "This matter can not be delayed. I will go tonight."

Gong Che did not say anything. He only stood up and said with a smile, "In that case, let me see you off. Please."
