Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian smiled faintly and said seriously, "Madam, I can't compare to you in terms of knowledge, but in terms of character and conversation, I think I'm worthy of you."
Gong Ou's character and conversation... It's good if she doesn't dislike it.
“…”
There was a trace of embarrassment on Luo Qi's face, "As a mother, I don't like people talking about my son like this."
How could she not know that her son was different from others? Sometimes he didn't look like a nobleman at all and had no etiquette at all.
"Sorry, madam." Shi Xiaonian apologized sincerely.
"I understand what you mean, you don't want to leave Gong Ou."
Luo Qi's voice was cold at the moment.
It turned out not to be that easy to solve.
"Yes." Shi Xiaonian looked at Luo Qi with a very honest face, "Madam, you don't have to think of other ways to deal with me. This will destroy the relationship between your mother and son."
Luo Qi looked at her silently, listening to her words.
But I have to admit that what this girl said is right. If you think of too many ways to deal with this girl, with Gong Ou's temperament, you will definitely have trouble with the family again.
"Can you give me a chance to perform? I will try my best to match Gong Ou."
"By you?" Luo Qi blurted out his question.
"I don't have a huge background in the Lancaster family, but with me, Gong Ou will be more relaxed and happy. This is something that Miss Mona can't compare to, isn't it?" Shi Xiaonian said with a sincere voice, "The rest is Personal cultivation, I will work hard to improve myself.”
"Sharp-tongued."
Luo Qi said with a cold voice and displeasure in his eyes.
This sentence is obviously not a compliment.
"Madam, I'm very stupid." Shi Xiaonian said calmly, with a bit of persistence in his tone, "But I don't like to do things halfway. If I give up without even trying, I will despise myself."
Gong Ou has already paid a lot for her, and she can't just quit.
Luo Qi sat on the sofa, pressing her temples with her hand wearing a gemstone ring, with a thoughtful look on her face. After a while, she said, "Go down, I will consider your words."
"Thank you ma'am."
Shi Xiaonian lowered his head to her, then turned and left.
Halfway through, Luo Qi's voice sounded behind her, "Miss Shi, you and I both know in our hearts that the ending cannot be changed. If you want to hold on for a while, the only one who will suffer is you. As for me, I don't So it doesn’t matter.”
“…”
Shi Xiaonian's face turned pale and she left without saying a word.
She took the elevator downstairs and looked at the numbers going down one by one. Luo Qi's voice sounded in her ears again -
Miss Shi, you and I both know in our hearts that the ending cannot be changed. If you want to hold on for a while longer, the only one who will suffer is you.
The ending cannot be changed.
This was the warning given to her by Madam Gong.
There was confusion in Shi Xiaonian's eyes. She didn't know what she was facing and what she would encounter in the future.
She walked into a maze in confusion, but she couldn't exit. She wanted a home. Gong Ou took the first step for her, and she had to walk the rest by herself.
She cannot give up easily.
When Xiaonian returned to the bedroom, when she walked in, she saw Gong Ou standing on the bed with bare feet, walking back and forth, causing the gray quilt to become wrinkled.
Shi Xiaonian touched her face, tried her best to smile and walked over, "What are you doing standing on the bed?"
Gong Ou raised his eyes to look at her. When he saw her coming back, his slender body immediately jumped off the bed, ran to her barefoot, and stared at her with his black eyes, "Did mother give you a hard time?"
When Shi Xiaonian looked at his handsome face, she smelled a burnt aroma. She turned her eyes and saw a plate of egg fried rice on the bedside table.
The burning aroma spread ten miles away.
Shi Xiaonian walked towards the bed and said, "Why put the fried rice here? I'll take it to the restaurant to eat."
"It's the same as eating here." Gong Ou sat her down on the bed and put the plate directly into her hand, "Tell me, did mother give you a hard time?"
Shi Xiaonian looked at the fried rice and bare feet he stuffed with helplessness.
His mother should really come and see how he behaves.
"talk!"
Gong Ou stepped onto the bed, squatted beside her and asked, with a handsome face right in front of her eyes, her face reflected in the black pupils.
Shi Xiaonian held the fried rice, looked at him with clear eyes, and said softly, "I guess, she told me about the Lancaster family."
"Lancaster?" Hearing this, Gong Ou sneered, "It's just a family that started out by digging for gold. It is passed down from generation to generation to beautify itself into some kind of noble family."
"Yeah?"
Shi Xiaonian asked calmly, not having any interest in that family.
She picked up the spoon and took a mouthful of fried rice and put it into her mouth. It was still full of burnt aroma.
She really admired Gong Ou for making fried rice so many times without making any progress.
"And that's a family known for incest." Gong Ou said with disdain, his voice still full of magnetism.
When Shi Xiaonian heard this, he almost choked, "What?"
incest
"In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, the Lancaster family has historically had examples of uncles marrying nieces and cousins marrying cousins. It has become better in recent years." Gong Ou said, squatting next to her and watching her.
The more he looked at her, the more he liked her.
When Shi Xiaonian heard this, she felt disgusted, "Cousin marrying cousin?"
This is too ridiculous.
"Um."
"I find that people in the upper class have very strange ideas. How could they think of keeping their bloodline pure like this?" Shi Xiaonian shook his head in disbelief.
"In order to make the whole family last forever, these people can't think of anything." Gong Ou stared at her.
"It's so abnormal."
Shi Xiaonian couldn't understand that kind of belief for the glory of the family.
Gong Ou looked at her deeply, his eyes straight, "I am the most normal, I want you, I don't want my cousin!"
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian said, "I don't even know who my biological parents are. Maybe you and I are still related?"
"Then I will have incest with you!"
Gong Ou answered without thinking, his voice filled with paranoia.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was stunned for a moment and looked at Gong Ou's handsome face. She bit her lip and said softly, "Gong Ou, only now do I know what you gave up for me."
He gave up marriage with the entire Lancaster family, which was a family with huge invisible wealth.
If there is really a powerful alliance, no one in the world, public or private, can be found who is stronger and richer than him.
And he actually gave up these things because of her.
Not to mention that his mother couldn't believe it, she couldn't believe it now.
"You just know?"
Gong Ou curled his lips with some complacency, as if this was something to be proud of, and did not think that he had lost anything.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stared at his face quietly.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Gong Ou stared at her, his dark eyes deep.
"Miyao, is it worth doing this for me?"
Shi Xiaonian sat on the edge of the bed, staring at his face and asked.
He gave up too much.
She's not qualified enough.
"I still say the same thing." Gong Ou said, his voice was arrogant and domineering, "I want you, so I should do anything for you!"
“…”
When Shi Xiaonian listened to his words, her heart was shocked.
Her eyes suddenly felt sour. Shi Xiaonian picked up the plate and continued to put fried rice into her mouth, chewing the egg fried rice full of burnt aroma.
"How is it? Have my cooking skills improved a lot?" Gong Ou asked.
Shi Xiaonian nodded, with a smile on his lips, "There has been too much progress."
Gong Ou was quite satisfied when he heard this. He raised his eyebrows with a look of pride on his face. He reached out and grabbed the plate from her hand, with a magnetic voice, "Here, I'll feed you."
He scooped a spoonful of rice and put it to her lips.
Shi Xiaonian opened her lips and ate it, tasting the full burnt aroma.
"Is it delicious?" Gong Ou asked.
"tasty."
"Who makes the best egg fried rice?"
"You did it."
"Who are you?"
"Miyao."
"Who do you love?"
"Miyao."
Shi Xiaonian said obediently, making him happy. As expected, Gong Ou looked satisfied, raised his eyebrows proudly, and continued to feed food into her mouth.
When Xiaonian looked at his eyebrows and chewed the rice in her mouth, she tasted a hint of sweetness.
Eyes facing each other.
As soon as the two of them fed and ate, they finished the whole plate of fried rice with such lingering eyes.
Gong Ou pinched her face and said, "If you like it, I'll make it for you every day!"
“…”
Shi Xiao thought silently, wrapping his mouth full of burnt fragrance and nodded.
…
It was late at night, with relatively dim lights in the large bedroom, and the curtains were drawn up, covering a large area of floor-to-ceiling windows.
On the big bed, Xiao Nian was held tightly in Gong Ou's arms when the brocade quilt was put down.
After the lingering, he hugged her and fell asleep, his fingers clasping hers. She leaned back in his arms, and the tip of her nose was filled with his breath.
She opened her eyes and looked ahead without focus.
She couldn't sleep.
Mu Qianchu's life and death are uncertain, and her whereabouts are unknown. The life and death of her and Gong Ou are also uncertain, and the future is unclear.
Shi Xiaonian opened her eyes with confusion. She felt her heart sinking as she thought about the conversation she had with Gong Ou's mother during the day.
Gong Ou is a ladder that is beyond her reach.
But no matter what, she will not give up easily, she will climb up step by step.
Shi Xiaonian raised one of her hands and interlocked with Gong Ou's fingers. She wore a heart-shaped diamond ring on her hand. His fingers were slender, the phalanges were clear, and the hand shape was particularly beautiful.
Shi Xiaonian took his hand and put it on her lips, kissing it gently.
"Female pervert, sneak attack on me in the middle of the night!"
A magnetic voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was startled and turned her head in astonishment, only to see Gong Ou lying on her side next to her, his black eyes staring straight at her, with no trace of sleepiness in his eyes, "Aren't you asleep?"
She was shocked, she thought he had fallen asleep.
"When you did it just now, you looked worried. Do you think my Gong Ou's eyes are blind?" Gong Ou glared at her and stretched out his hand to forcefully turn her around so that she faced him.
The two of them were lying on their sides under the quilt, facing each other.
Gong Ou stared at her and asked in a deep voice, "What did mother say to you?"
"It's nothing, it just made me realize the gap between us." Shi Xiaonian said honestly, "Then I found that the gap is really big."
"So you want to leave me?" (To be continued)
