Shi Xiaonian turned around and looked at Gong Ou in shock. Gong Ou was sorting out the documents and looking at her, "Didn't you say you want to watch the fireworks?"
"I thought you didn't hear." He was so busy.
"I'm not deaf."
Gong Ou put the documents into his briefcase, opened the car door and got out of the car, walked to Shi Xiaonian's car door, opened the door for her, put his hand on the roof of the car, "Get out of the car."
Shi Xiaonian nodded and walked out of the car.
This is a quiet road.
Miyao walked quietly beside her, her shoes making a low sound on the ground.
Shi Xiaonian raised his head.
In the night sky, fireworks bloom into the most gorgeous shapes, full of the festive feeling of the New Year.
This is the first New Year that Shi Xiaonian is looking forward to.
"Shall we find time to go back to the Imperial Castle to decorate it? We need to have a New Year's atmosphere."
Shi Xiaonian said.
She was met with silence.
When Xiao Nian turned around, Gong Ou stopped and stared at her with his dark eyes, his angular face showing no joy or anger.
Seeing this, Shi Xiaonian understood, "You don't have time, do you?"
"NE is not on track yet. There are many things waiting for me to deal with. If you want to arrange it, just let the servants do it." Gong Ou said in a low voice.
Shi Xiaonian raised her eyes and looked at him steadily.
"Are you unhappy that I can't accompany you?"
Gong Ou stared at her and asked.
Shi Xiaonian blinked, and then smiled a little forcedly, "Gong Ou, you have really grown up in the past four years."
"Where is the change?" Gong Ou looked down at her.
"Mature and sensible."
He would never have been so rational in the past. When he was receiving an award, he would rush home because he thought of her; when he was in a meeting, he would drag her in because he missed her.
In the past, he didn't distinguish between official and private affairs, and he had no rules.
"Sounds like a good thing."
Gong Ou curled his lips with satisfaction.
"And you can actually control your emotions. When you entered the gallery tonight, I was so afraid that you would beat that graduate student indiscriminately." Shi Xiaonian tried his best to keep his tone light.
Hearing this, Gong Ou stared at her with black eyes, "How old is he? How old am I? It's too senseless to be jealous of a student."
Shi Xiaonian smiled.
So he becomes more and more rational, and he truly becomes a normal, mature adult.
She raised her eyes to look at the sky, and the fireworks became increasingly sparse.
"I said there are good changes, but what about the bad ones?"
Gong Ou's deep voice sounded in her ears.
Shi Xiaonian bit her lip and whispered, "No."
"Without you, I wouldn't look lonely." He could see this. "Speak, don't hold it in your heart. I am no longer the Gong Ou I used to be. I won't make a fuss and throw the table."
Thinking about it now, he used to be a grumpy childish devil.
Shi Xiaonian stood with her back to him, not daring to look at his face, "Then did I really say that?"
"explain."
"You are too rational now, and you lack a little bit of rationality." Shi Xiaonian said frankly.
"What?"
Gong Ou's black eyes darkened.
"Human touch, yes, it's human touch." Shi Xiaonian rubbed his cold hands, "You shouldn't treat your adoptive father like that. In the four years since you were gone, how much he has paid for you, how much he has spent on his pension funds Take it all and sell all your property to find you.”
But in his eyes, Feng De was just a housekeeper and a servant.
Feng De must feel chilled.
"You are too emotional."
Gong Ou said, his voice was low and indifferent.
"Am I being emotional?"
Shi Xiaonian turned to look at him, a little stunned.
"It is undeniable that Fengde has really paid a lot in the past four years. Emotionally, it doesn't matter if you call him foster father, but many things become particularly difficult if you go against the rules. Why bother? Fengde doesn't mind if he is called this." One sound." Gong Ou said.
"But you used to..."
"I know, in the past, I would have followed you and given you whatever you asked for. But it's because of this that things have been so hard between us, because I do everything against the rules." Gong Ou Staring at her with his lower eyes, he spoke with a magnetic voice every word, "I couldn't give you stability before, but I can give it to you now. I know how to pave the most stable road for us, instead of ignoring the eyes of the whole world." If you insist on having your own way, you have already seen the consequences."
He had been ruined.
He had been separated from her for a long time.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian found that she was speechless and couldn't refute him.
"I have the best plan for our future." Gong Ou touched her face with one hand, staring deeply at her with his black eyes, his faint gaze bewitching her, "What Gong Ou couldn't give you before, I can give you everything, I know you need a stable life and a stable home."
“…”
yes.
She needs a stable life and a stable home.
He knew her so well, but why couldn't she get excited
"Look you're still unhappy."
Gong Ou frowned, stretched out his hand to hug her, let her lean on his chest, put his hand on her head, and said in a low voice, "Is it your fault that I haven't been with you well these two days? Wait a minute, wait a minute NE's affairs are on track, and I will have time to spend with you."
"Um."
Shi Xiaonian nodded obediently, leaned against him gently, and raised her eyes to look at the horizon. There were no fireworks there, only darkness and sparse stars.
…
Late at night.
Gong Ou returned to the hotel and dealt with official matters for a while. Shi Xiaonian watched him typing quickly on the keyboard. The sharpness and concentration of his black eyes facing the computer screen made her unable to bear to be disturbed.
After working, Gong Ou almost fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.
Shi Xiaonian lay in his arms and turned around without falling asleep.
She got up from the bed, left the room, poured a glass of water and walked into the living room alone. She didn't turn on the lights, only the floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the light outside.
Shi Xiaonian sat down on the floor in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a warm cup in his hands to keep warm, his eyes dull.
She never thought that she would feel like this when Gong Ou came back.
Is she too greedy
Obviously she was so looking forward to Gong Ou's treatment, but when he really got cured and came back, she unconsciously searched for the shadow of the past in him again and again.
The two people were obviously together, but there seemed to be a gap between them.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the night outside the window.
Alienation.
It's just alienation. I don't know why, but she and Gong Ou seem to be alienated. Is it because of her or because of him
Shi Xiaonian couldn't understand.
She closed her eyes and leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window quietly. She warned herself not to think so much. She just needed to remember that he was back, and he was back alive.
Nothing is more important than living.
Everything can be ignored, as long as he is alive and well.
Yes, that's it.
The sun fell into the room and the sound from the TV came out.
"The life of a technological genius is destined to be full of legends. He was born into a noble family, established his own business and achieved technological miracles. He regretted his marriage and got engaged to the amateur girl he fell in love with. Now he is resurrected. No one knows about Gong Ou's four years of experience. If you’re not curious, where did he go and what did he do? All of this will be answered at NE’s press conference.”
The news anchor's voice is a standard broadcast tone.
Gong Ou walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and glanced at the TV with his dark eyes. The anchor said to the camera, "I believe that many female viewers are looking forward to Gong Ou's love more. His love is like a perfect fairy tale. The amateur girl has been waiting for four years for the prince to finally return, so Gong Ou’s wedding will surely be a fairy tale wedding.”
“…”
Gong Ou looked at the screen coldly, took out the remote control to turn off the TV, glanced at the neatly made bed, turned and walked out.
Shi Xiaonian's down jacket was still hanging on the hanger.
He looked for several rooms and finally walked into the kitchen, where the aroma of food wafted from inside.
Shi Xiaonian put on insulated gloves with both hands and took out a steamed fish. When she turned around, she saw Gong Ou standing at the door. She smiled and said, "Are you up? Have breakfast."
Gong Ou walked over, glanced at the rich dishes on the table with his dark eyes, and frowned with dissatisfaction, "You did this all when you got up in the morning? Don't do such chores in the future."
"I thought you would like my cooking."
Shi Xiaonian's smile suddenly became stiff and she brought the fish to the table.
"I didn't say I didn't like it." Gong Ou looked at her and sat down at the dining table. "I used to ask you to cook because I was paranoid. Now that I have cured my illness, how can I want my fiancée?" Dun Dun is cooking, you are not my servant."
"It doesn't matter, I will feel happy taking care of your three meals a day."
Shi Xiaonian took off his gloves and sat down opposite him.
Gong Ou raised his eyes and glanced at her, "You are just used to being abused by me before. What's the fun in cooking?"
"oh."
Shi Xiaonian picked up the chopsticks and started to eat. She looked at Gong Ou with her eyes. Gong Ou elegantly took the dishes and put them between her lips. She didn't mean to dislike them. She ate them one by one, but she was no longer as good at sweeping them away as before. And Guang would even ask her to eat more.
It was as if she was falling in love with a different person.
Shi Xiaonian knew that her thoughts were baffling.
"What will you do today?"
Gong Ou asked casually.
"Today? Let the twins decorate the gallery. Xiaokui has never seen how the New Year is celebrated in China." Shi Xiaonian said.
"okay."
Gong Ou responded and had no objection.
"By the way, workaholic, no matter what, don't be busy on New Year's Eve and celebrate the New Year with us." Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou and said.
"What did you call me?"
Gong Ou raised his eyes and put down his chopsticks.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian looked at him silently. Did she say the wrong thing
When she saw him again, she didn't even know where he was happy or angry.
Gong Ou stared at her cautious appearance, and his thin lips curled up, "It's okay in private, just don't scream when you go out. You don't have to be so nervous."
"I thought you were angry."
"I'm not that easy to get angry, but you don't have to be so nervous." Gong Ou looked at her and smiled, "It seems that I really scared you in the past. Don't worry, that Gong Ou will never appear again." (To be continued)
