“…”
"He's not mine anymore." He would hold another woman, kiss another woman, and everything had nothing to do with her.
She burst into tears.
Like a child who has lost his cherished treasure, he cries uncontrollably.
Xu Bingxin was heartbroken when she heard that. She hugged her tightly and patted her back. She was no longer as firm as before, "Xiao Nian, you have never told me this. Then what if Gong Ou is as good as you said? , why don't we discuss it with your father and try to fight for it? The Gong family looked down on you before because you had no background, but now, you are back home."
Although she was not very satisfied, her daughter's happiness was more important no matter what.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian leaned in her arms and shook his head. He said nothing, only cried and shook his head.
Can't win.
She worries too much and can't achieve anything.
"Are you worried that the Xi family will be humiliated in front of the Gong family? It doesn't matter. Isn't the purpose of making the Xi family stronger and bigger for the next generation? I believe your father is the same. As long as you are happy, we will be happy." Xu Bingxin Xiaonian said while hugging her.
Shi Xiaonian still shook her head and sobbed, "Mom, everything is a done deal."
It cannot be changed.
"But you..." Xu Bingxin couldn't continue.
After a long time, Shi Xiaonian sat upright from her arms and smiled with difficulty, "Mother, I cry because I lost the person I love most, but I don't regret it."
"Isn't it very contradictory for you to be like this?"
Xu Bingxin asked doubtfully.
Contradictory? Or so.
But this was the best choice she could make.
Beyond that, she didn't know what she could do to keep anyone in the house who cared.
On this day when she was completely separated from Gong Ou, the sky was blue and the air was especially fresh. Xiaokui in the stroller looked at the blue sky and burst into laughter from time to time.
The engagement ceremony between the Palace family and the Lancaster family was exaggerated by the media like an international event.
The news is overwhelming, and even the designer Mona chooses for her trip or dress can dominate the headlines.
Time never stops because of people's joys, sorrows and joys.
The day of the engagement ceremony is approaching day by day.
Mona is immersed in the happiness of her upcoming engagement every day, and she has to take care of even the smallest crown accessories.
"Miss Mona, I think you will be the most beautiful bride in the world."
Put on Mona's makeup, her personal stylist said, full of compliments.
Mona sat there, looking at herself in the mirror. She had the most beautiful long golden hair and the most outstanding face. She reached out to touch the hair beside her ears and showed a smile, "So, I am the most beautiful." A woman worthy of Gong Ou."
NE Group is still busy, but the president has been busy preparing for the engagement ceremony recently and has not pushed everyone up and down too hard. Everyone is very grateful that Gong Ou is getting engaged.
Gong Ou suffers from paranoid personality disorder. In addition to a bad temper, jealousy and irritability, the biggest symptom is that he is too picky about everything, to an outrageous level.
In the bright living room, the comics on the wall are both sad and happy, and the crystal on the bead curtain reflects the heroic figure on the sofa in the distance, which is very blurry.
"No, this is too ugly. No, this is too styleless. No, this color is inexplicable. None of these work, redesign it, and bring another batch over to me tomorrow!" Gong Ou sat on the sofa and put a piece of paper in his hand All the clothing design templates were thrown out, with a displeased look on his face, "Can we find some good designers?"
"Yes, Master."
Feng De nodded silently, lowered his body and picked up the templates one by one.
While Gong Ou and Mona were busy preparing for the engagement ceremony, Shi Xiaonian's comic "Sea Tower" was simultaneously released online and physically, the online drama adapted from the comic was launched, and the adapted movie also entered the early stage of publicity.
So Shi Xiaonian was kept busy every day by Xia Yu's process.
She is either promoting or on the road to promote every day, traveling all over the country, saying the same thing.
Xu knew that aristocratic engagement ceremonies were different from ordinary people, and the media also knew that there was no longer any charm between her and Gong Ou. Gradually, fewer reporters came to Shi Xiaonian to ask about Gong Ou's marriage.
"Thank you, thank you everyone."
After Shi Xiaonian followed the crew to promote a stop, he bowed deeply to the people below, then turned and left.
As soon as they entered the backstage, Xia Yu's phone called. Shi Xiaonian pressed her eyebrows tiredly and asked into the phone, "Mr. Xia, what are your instructions?"
"It's not for your own good that I keep you busy." Xia Yu said on the other end, "If we are frustrated in love, we should be proud of our career, right?"
Xia Yu deliberately arranged so much work for Shi Xiaonian. In the days before Gong Ou's engagement ceremony, she kept Shi Xiaonian so busy that she had no time to read any newspapers or news to know about the engagement ceremony.
"I know you are doing it for my own good, but I haven't been back to S City to see Xiaokui for many days."
Xiaokui is only that old, and as a mother, she is running around doing publicity.
"Oh, if you are busy for a while, how about I let you go home and take care of the baby?" Xia Yu said, and then said excitedly, "Xiao Nian, doesn't it feel so good to be proud of your career? You are now ranked No. 1 on the hot search list. The second person is not judged by his private life, but by his works!"
The first one on the hot search list is Gong Ou's engagement ceremony. No one can beat that big event. There is no way.
"Why rely on works?"
Shi Xiaonian walked out of the backstage, stopped a taxi, and reported the address of the hotel.
She went to this strange city to promote and stayed in a strange hotel. She was too tired and didn't know how to see the local scenery. She went back to the hotel as soon as the promotion was finished.
"It was "Sea Tower". I felt that my vision was really limited at that time. Someone excerpted your quotations from "Sea Tower" on Weibo and called it a sobering poisonous soup for the soul. It became an instant hit. Ah!" Xia Yu said excitedly, "Chicken Soup for the Soul is rampant now, and everyone is nauseated. Dark quotes like yours have become a clear stream, and I don't know how many people are following them."
"Yeah?"
Shi Xiaonian smiled lightly while sitting in the taxi.
The inspiration for "Sea Tower" comes from the period of imprisonment in England, and naturally they are all dark quotes.
"Yes, I have received nomination notices from major websites and some domestic comic awards. These are all based on your works!" Xia Yu was filled with emotion, and suddenly the conversation changed, "Xiao Nian, do you really want to close the book?"
When Shi Xiaonian agreed to run the promotion, he expressed his intention to close the book.
"Yes, after thinking about it, I decided to return to my family first and take good care of Xiaokui in the future."
Shi Xiaonian said lightly.
She wants to withdraw from Gong Ou's life, so she also has to withdraw from these things. When time passes slowly and her name is no longer seen or heard in his eyes and ears, Gong Ou will gradually forget about her.
"But your career is on an unprecedented rise now. Don't you regret that you stopped writing during the rise?" Xia Yu asked.
Pity
What she is facing now is the truth that will be exposed at any time. When the time comes, whether she can survive by chance is a question. She might as well spend more time with her family.
"Xia Yu, I know you have spent a lot of effort on me. Don't worry, even if the book is closed, I will do a good job in the final publicity to prevent your efforts on me from not getting back at all." Shi Xiaonian said.
Now she doesn’t want her son, her career, or her love.
She wanted nothing more and chose to face whatever would happen in the future alone.
"Hey, I can't persuade you. I don't know why. I feel that you have become very tired after returning home. Maybe you really need a good rest." Xia Yu sighed and said.
"Well, I won't tell you yet, I'm almost at the hotel."
Shi Xiaonian looked out and said, hanging up Xia Yu's phone.
The taxi stopped on the road in front of the five-star hotel. Shi Xiaonian took out his wallet to pay. Along with the change came a comic book "Sea Tower".
Shi Xiaonian looked forward with some surprise. The driver was a woman in her 30s. She smiled at her and said, "Shi Xiaonian, I like your "Sea Tower" very much. I really like it. The sentences in it touched me so much." Yes, can you sign your name for me?"
Shi Xiaonian hesitated for a second, then smiled and nodded, "Okay."
"Thank you." The driver smiled like a fifteen-year-old girl in her prime, his eyes full of admiration for her, "I just heard you call, please don't close the book, we are all waiting for your new work. .”
Shi Xiaonian smiled bitterly, opened the door and got out of the car.
She was about to walk to the hotel when she caught something in her peripheral vision.
When Xiao Nian turned her head, she saw a black car speeding towards her. It was very fast and without any delay, and it was rushing towards her direction.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian panicked for a second and hurriedly moved to the side. The car immediately changed its direction and chased her.
She opened her eyes wide in shock and held her breath. In a flash of lightning, she couldn't even react.
Suddenly a hand grabbed her from behind, and Shi Xiaonian was pulled behind a tree. Her feet stumbled and the pain was severe.
"boom."
There was a sharp bump.
I saw the car almost grazing the big tree and driving past. The tires slipped on the ground and drove away at a very fast speed. It soon disappeared from Shi Xiaonian's sight.
Shi Xiaonian looked into the distance with lingering fear. Chi Ning turned her head after two seconds and saw Mu Qianchu standing behind her, with a slender figure and a pair of eyes looking at her worriedly. His face was full of tension and his hands were tightly clasped. Hold her arm.
The eyebrow doctor stood not far behind him.
"Chase!"
Mu Qianchu looked at the eyebrow doctor.
"Yes, Mr. Mu." Dr. Eyebrow Scar immediately drove towards the car that caused the accident.
"Qianchu?"
Shi Xiaonian looked at him in astonishment. The next second, she was hugged by Mu Qianchu, and her feet were pinned.
Mu Qianchu hugged her into his arms and hugged her tightly with his arms, "You scared me to death."
On the street, she could clearly hear his violent heartbeat while leaning in his arms, and she seemed extremely nervous. Mu Qianchu held her tightly, his breathing was faster than hers, and the hand holding her was trembling. (To be continued)
