Shi Xiaonian smiled bitterly, "Am I quite worthless like this?"
In the past, when he was sick, she was cautious; now that he is cured, she is still cautious.
"It's not that serious. It's just that you have lowered your self-esteem too low, which affects your charm as a woman." Gong Ou said in a deep voice.
Put your self-esteem too low.
His mouth is so poisonous that it hits the nail on the head.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him, took a sip of milk and said, "Do you understand women now?"
"What are you insinuating?" Gong Ou raised his eyebrows and looked at her sharply, "Don't worry, you are the only woman I have, and you are the only person I, Gong Ou, want to live with for the rest of my life."
"I didn't mean that."
Shi Xiaonian frowned, she just answered the sentence like that, she really didn't think much about it.
Gong Ou seems to be thinking more complicatedly now than before. Has his emotional intelligence also become higher
"It doesn't matter if you have it. I'm going to eat and go to the company, will you come with me?" Gong Ou stood up from the dining table.
"OK."
She's also going to the gallery.
Shi Xiaonian nodded, put down his chopsticks and stood up. The dishes on the table were almost untouched.
This was a sight that had never been seen before.
"My schedule is also full on New Year's Eve. I can't accompany you during the day. Let's wait until night. I will stay with you at night." Gong Ou said as he walked out.
"Okay, we'll wait for you."
Shi Xiaonian said, besides saying this, he didn't know what else to say.
You can't be jealous of his work.
"After the New Year, the gallery will be closed. The painter should maintain a sense of mystery." Gong Ou's tone was full of business, as if he was giving instructions to his secretary.
"Closing after the Chinese New Year? Why so soon? I quite like the gallery."
"Isn't it good to stay at home and be a young mistress?"
"Can it be later?"
"When NE is on track, our wedding will also be put on the process. I don't have that much time to prepare for the wedding. You may have to keep an eye on it more by then. If you close the gallery, you will have time." Gong Ou's tone of voice was also louder than It used to be faster.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian followed him silently.
His disease was cured, but his desire to control became much stronger.
Gong Ou looked back at her, reached out and pushed her to the wall, pinched her chin, "What, you don't want to marry me? Don't you want to have a family with me?"
He was very close to her, his dark eyes staring into hers with a burning illusion.
When Xiaonian met his gaze, her breathing stagnated slightly, "Think."
How could you not want to
How many years had she waited for him.
"Then close the gallery." Gong Ou lowered his head and held her lips in his mouth, kissing her gently. "After we get married, I will officially take over the twins and let you take care of them."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian's eyes lit up, "Will the Gong family agree?"
"You waited for me for four years, and the whole world knew that if they didn't let me marry you, my reputation would plummet." Gong Ou said against her lips, "They will not stop us from getting married now, but As long as I am willing to inherit the Gong family, they have no reason not to let us take over the twins."
"reputation?"
Why does this sound weird
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Shi Xiaonian pushed his chest away, "Let's go to work, I'll tie your tie for you."
"No, you only know how to play simple ones. It's not that I don't know. I have to receive foreign guests today, so I need to be more solemn." Gong Ou said casually, his tone was calm, without any intention of disdain, he just stated the facts objectively .
He turned around and picked up a tie around his neck, tying a complicated knot with his slender fingers.
Gong Ou looked at the mirror by the door and didn't notice the look in Shi Xiaonian's eyes that was getting lonely.
…
Shi Xiaonian tried very hard to get closer to Gong Ou, but Gong Ou didn't seem to need it.
He has plans for their future.
He clearly divided their roles. He was responsible for making money to support the family, and she was responsible for taking care of the family and being a pampered young lady.
It is a natural thing to do, just like every couple, like many couples in a normal relationship, the man takes the lead outside and the woman takes the lead inside.
Very normal.
It's so normal that I can't find anything wrong with it.
She and Gong Ou get along with each other in such a non-committal manner. Gong Ou becomes normal, and their relationship becomes normal, no longer so vigorous, no longer either love or death.
In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, a very sunny day.
A large red Chinese knot hangs in front of the gallery, with tassels fluttering in the wind. The missing person notice on the glass door has been removed, and there is a crooked window grille posted by Gong Kui.
Shi Xiaonian stood in the store, wearing thick clothes, taking down the paintings on the wall and putting them in the packaging box.
Galleries are preparing to close.
All these paintings must also be put away.
Gong Yao was sitting on the floor in the center of the gallery, with a low table in front of him. His small hand was holding a brush and copying simple calligraphy meticulously, with an expressionless face and no distractions.
"My flowers are going bad again."
Gong Kui knelt on the chair in front of the table, holding the small glass water tank with her little hands, looking at the flowers floating in it with a depressed expression.
"Xiao Kui, do you want me to tell you some ways to care for flowers?"
Mr. Gong walked towards Xiaokui, lowered his head and asked.
"Thank you Mr. Palace, but I want to see Dad."
Gong Kui held the small water tank and sighed sadly.
Her flowers will be completely ruined if she doesn't give them away.
Gong Kui pursed her lips and complained fiercely. Suddenly, she remembered something and her eyes rolled around. Shi Xiaonian was busy hanging paintings, Gong Yao was practicing calligraphy, and no one paid attention to her.
Gong Kui hugged the small water tank upwards.
Yeah, I can hold it.
She climbed down from the chair carefully, hugged the small water tank with her arms as hard as she could, and climbed down.
so tired.
Gong Kui gritted her teeth and crept out with difficulty holding the small water tank. Her mother didn't want her to disturb her father's work, so she just went to see him and give him flowers.
Just one glance.
Gong Kui walked out of the gallery hunched over like a shrimp, but was stopped by the bodyguard outside, "Miss Xiao Kui, where are you going?"
"Shh! Don't let anyone hear you!" Gong Kui whispered while holding the small water tank, "You send me to find Dad, or I'll ask grandma to fire you."
"Miss Xiaokui."
The bodyguard had depression written all over his face.
"Come on, I'm so tired from hugging him." Gong Kui opened her dark eyes wide and looked at him with a sad face, "I'll give Dad the flowers and I'll be back."
"Come back after delivery?"
The bodyguard hesitated.
"Yeah, don't let Mom hear it, just keep walking." Gong Kui said cleverly, and walked across the road holding the small water tank.
The bodyguard was startled and quickly followed her.
Entering the NE building, there is only one road between the gallery and NE. Everyone knows that the CEO's twins are always on the opposite side. When Gong Kui comes in, the front desk naturally lets them go.
"Thank you pretty sister."
Gong Kui apologized sweetly and walked inside with a small water tank in her arms. The bodyguard wanted to get the water tank for her, but she was unwilling.
It’s time to see dad.
Dad will love her flowers.
When Shi Xiaonian was standing in the shop packing her paintings, a painting fell down and one corner was dented. She quickly jumped off the chair to pick up the painting.
"Are you okay?"
A childish but cold voice came.
When Xiao Nian turned around, Gong Yao was sitting there, holding a brush in his hand and looking at her.
Do you care about her
"It's okay." Shi Xiaonian smiled, lifted the painting, glanced across the table, and found that the water tank was missing on the table, "Holy, have you seen Xiaokui?"
Gong Yao shook his head.
"Xiao Kui?"
Shi Xiaonian quickly put down the painting and walked in. There was nothing in the room. She suddenly became anxious, rushed outside and looked at the bodyguard on duty, "Have you seen Xiaokui?"
"Miss Xiaokui went to see the young master."
The bodyguard answered truthfully.
"What?"
Shi Xiaonian was shocked. Gong Ou told her not to go to him when he was working, as it would disturb him.
When Xiaonian ran out, Gong Yao caught up with her, "I'll go with you."
"good."
Shi Xiaonian took Gong Yao's hand across the street and ran towards the NE Building opposite. Naturally, the front desk did not dare to stop her.
After pressing the elevator button, Shi Xiaonian and Gong Yao walked into the elevator with anxiety in their eyes, hoping that they could stop Gong Kui in time.
Gong Ou is now a workaholic and doesn't like to be interrupted from his work.
After walking out of the elevator, Shi Xiaonian hurriedly walked to Gong Ou's office. Before he reached it, he heard Gong Kui's cry.
It came from the conference room.
Shi Xiaonian and Gong Yao walked over.
I saw that the door of the conference room was closed tightly. At the door, Gong Kui stood there crying very sadly. A voluptuous and charming figure stood in front of her. It was Mona, wearing a delicate and elegant long dress, holding a bag in her hand. His eyes looked at Gong Kui helplessly.
On the ground between them was a broken glass water tank. Water flowed all over the ground, covered with glass shards. Several flowers fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Stop crying, okay? Why do you only know how to cry?"
Mona looked at Gong Kui with a headache.
Mona.
Shi Xiaonian's heart sank, and she shouted loudly, "Xiao Kui."
"Mom!" When she saw Shi Xiaonian, Gong Kui immediately ran towards her crying, grabbing her hand and complaining, "Oh, she broke my flowers. My flowers are all broken. Dad won't want them." Yeah, woo woo woo.”
"Really boring."
Mona looked depressed.
"Why are you here?" Shi Xiaonian pulled Gong Kui close to him with one hand, looked at Mona and asked coldly.
"Of course I want to take a look at Gong Ou to see how he adapts to this society." Mona said, glancing at Gong Kui, "Is this your daughter? You need to teach her better. As a lady, she should walk more gracefully. Instead of running rampant and relying on others if you fall."
"As an adult, you should also know how to apologize sometimes."
Shi Xiaonian said coldly.
"My sister will not rely on others." Gong Yao stood up and looked up at Mona coldly, "Please apologize, this is the most basic courtesy."
Mona looked at Gong Yao and was stunned for a few seconds.
Looks so much like Gong Ou.
"She bumped into me on purpose, she is a bad person!" Gong Kui cried and pointed at Mona and shouted, "Bad aunt, bad aunt, woo hoo."
"Uncultured little guy."
Mona snorted disdainfully.
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian's eyes were filled with anger. Several secretaries who came after hearing the news gathered around them, and they all looked at them with trepidation. (To be continued)
