Gong Ou lowered his eyes and looked at the two people's intertwined hands. There was a strange feeling in his chest, and he was absent-minded for a moment.
"knew."
For a long time, he said.
Shi Xiaonian smiled, "Gong Ou, remember, no matter what you look like, I feel happy."
“…”
Gong Ou stared at her with his eyes lowered and lost his mind again.
Gong Ou's condition gradually improved with Shi Xiaonian's help, and his armor of indifference was slowly removed. He returned home from the company earlier day by day.
Lian Gong Yao showed a hint of astonishment every time he saw Gong Ou coming back.
A week later, Shi Xiaonian, Gong Ou, and the twins arrived in the UK.
This was the first time that their family of four went out together. It was like a family trip. Shi Xiaonian held a SLR camera in his hand and took pictures for them all the way.
The motorcade stopped and stopped on the road. When they encountered any beautiful scenery, Gong Kui and Shi Xiaonian excitedly wanted to get out of the car and take pictures.
Gong Ou and Gong Yao were left sitting in the car in silence.
On the road, they encountered thick fallen leaves and a lonely swing. Gong Kui was lying down and lying down. Shi Xiaonian took a camera to take pictures of Gong Kui. The sun fell on her face, reflecting the brightest smile.
"When will you be able to return to the Gong family with a shooting style like yours?"
Gong Ou said this while sitting in the car, but still let them take pictures without urging them.
"Dad, Holy, let's take pictures together."
Gong Kui used all her strength to pull the car door open and shouted loudly, "Let's take pictures together, don't get in the car."
Gong Yao didn't respond.
Gong Ou looked at the voting increase on his mobile phone and glanced down at Gong Kui, "Just take the picture yourself."
"No, let's come down and take pictures together, take pictures together, come on, come on."
Gong Kui yelled desperately, insisting that Gong Ou and Gong Yao come down to take pictures with her.
"It's really not necessary." Gong Ou refused again. When he raised his eyes, he saw Shi Xiaonian. She was standing in front of the swing, stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground, looking down at the photo. Her long hair under the woolen hat was blown by the wind. He stood up with a joyful smile on his face.
She seemed to be getting happier and happier.
Sometimes you can laugh just looking at him. It seems that they have finally found the right way to get along with each other.
"Holy, get out of the car and take pictures."
Gong Ou looked at Gong Yao on the side and said. Gong Yao raised his little face and looked at him, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.
Seeing Gong Ou and his son getting out of the car, Shi Xiaonian was very surprised. He stepped forward and touched Gong Kui's little head. It was her daughter who had a way with the two men in the family.
"Come, you two sit on the swing."
Shi Xiaonian carried the two children onto the swing, and arranged for Gong Ou to stand behind the children. Gong Ou rarely cooperated, so Shi Xiaonian immediately handed the camera to the bodyguard next to him, "Trouble, please stand here and help me." I’ll take some photos.”
"Okay, Miss Xi."
The bodyguard nodded.
Shi Xiaonian handed the camera to the bodyguard, then hurriedly ran to Gong Ou, stood next to him, stretched out his hands and hugged Gong Ou's arm, "Take the picture, everyone wants to laugh."
This was their first family photo, so many years later.
"Mr. Gong, with your head down, can you look at the camera? The effect will be better." The bodyguard said while holding the camera.
Only then did Gong Ou see the camera.
With a click of the shutter, a family photo was born among a fallen leaf in England.
Stopping and snapping along the way, it really delayed the time to get to Gongjia, and it was already very late when we arrived at Gongjia Castle.
Late at night.
The car stopped in front of a forest, and many servants in vintage clothes were already standing there waiting. When they saw them getting out of the car, everyone bowed in unison.
The maids taking care of Gong Yao and Gong Kui immediately came forward and took them down to wash up.
Shi Xiaonian stood beside Gong Ou, looking ahead, where there were lights in the dark night.
British palace.
arrive.
Shi Xiaonian took a deep breath and slowly clenched the hands hanging by her sides.
"Scared?"
Gong Ou's voice sounded in her ears.
"While you were away, I have been visiting this place for four years. It's not easy to be afraid." Shi Xiaonian smiled faintly and put his arm around Gong Ou, "Let's go in."
"Second Young Master, please come this way."
A servant bowed his head to them and led the way.
The scenery of the palace also reveals the elegance of the aristocracy at night, heavy and gorgeous.
Shi Xiaonian held Gong Ou's arm and walked inside step by step, crossing the corridors and walking into the hall. The lights were falling, and she still felt the heavy colors.
The aristocrats called this color scheme thick.
When Xiaonian and Gong Ou walked in, the servants stood on both sides, and they all lowered their heads when they saw them.
The two stood in the middle of the hall.
Gong Ou stared at everything around him expressionlessly.
"Are you finally willing to come back?"
An elegant voice floated down from above.
When Shi Xiaonian raised her face, she saw Luo Qi slowly walking down the stairs in a gorgeous uniform. It had been a long time since she last saw her, but she still had a noble temperament all over her body. She was unparalleled in elegance, and every step of her posture revealed a sense of beauty.
Luo Qi slowly walked down the stairs. The makeup on her face was exquisite, but it still couldn't hide the traces of tears.
Gong Ou looked at her, let go of Shi Xiaonian's hand, took two steps forward, and slowly lowered his head towards Luo Qi, "Mother."
His voice was deep.
When this sound rang out, Shi Xiaonian's eyes instantly turned red when he looked at Luo Qi.
Luo Qi walked quickly towards Gong Ou, stretched out her arms and hugged him, "You are finally back, my son."
Luo Qi choked up.
Gong Ou let her hold him.
Shi Xiaonian stood quietly aside. Luo Qi was a little excited. It took a long time to calm down. The three of them sat down on the sofa.
Shi Xiaonian sat quietly next to Gong Ou.
Luo Qi wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, with an angry look on her graceful and beautiful face, and said to Gong Ou, "You don't come to see us when you come back. I can only see your news on the news every day. You My father won’t let me go either, because he’s afraid that I’ll disturb your comeback.”
Gong Ou sat there, and after a while he said indifferently, "I'm back now."
"Then do I want to thank you?"
Luo Qi's tone was filled with resentment. He had not contacted her for four years, and when he came back he was busy rebuilding his career. As a mother, he completely ignored her.
"You're welcome."
Gong Ou said, when Shi Xiaonian heard the words, he immediately stretched out his hand to hold his leg and gave him a look with his eyes.
“…”
Luo Qi was so angry that she didn't know whether she should continue to be sad or sentimental.
Gong Ou looked into Shi Xiaonian's eyes and lowered his voice, "Don't you say what you want to say."
That was to her, not to his own relatives. Wouldn't it make Luo Qi angry to say such words? Luo Qi had also been waiting for him for four years.
Luo Qi looked at the two of them expressing affection, and suddenly felt left out. She cast her eyes on Shi Xiaonian and said, "Miss Xi."
"Yes, ma'am."
Shi Xiaonian sat upright.
"Didn't you break up? It seems like it's not a breakup now." Luo Qi said, with blame in his tone, "If Gong Ou hadn't promised his father not to delay the development of NE and the Gong family, I would have wanted to talk to you. ”
It turned out that Gong Ou had made such a promise to the Gong family, but she actually didn't know anything.
Shi Xiaonian really hated that she had tripped Gong Ou too many times.
She stood up from the sofa and looked at Luo Qi, and said calmly, "I'm sorry, what happened this time is my fault. I went to the media to talk nonsense without knowing anything clearly. This is just this time."
"This still sounds pleasant."
Luo Qi said coldly, her tone still dissatisfied. She looked at them and asked directly, "Are you sending your children back this time, or are you here to visit us specially?"
She knew that her son was extremely lacking in family affection.
Send a child
Shi Xiaonian's eyes lowered, she was not here to see off the child. She turned to look at Gong Ou, who stared into her eyes, nodded lightly, stretched out his hand to pull her to sit down, and then looked at Luo Qi.
"It's neither of these two things." Gong Ou said in a low voice, "We're getting married, so we'll let you know when we come back."
These words are really direct and hurtful.
Luo Qi listened, a trace of sadness flashed across his face, but there was no surprise. He just asked, "Really want to get married? Are you not going to change this time? Will there be a divorce after a while?"
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian looked at Luo Qi in surprise, "Madam, do you agree?"
Do you just agree to let the two of them get married
"Can you disagree?" Luo Qi said coldly, "You have been looking for Gong Ou for four years, and everyone knows that you are a fool. Even if you say something about regretting the marriage, once Gong Ou marries someone else, , the public still wants to suspect that you, Cinderella, have been squeezed out by our family? How much impact will this have on our Gong family and Gong Ou. "
Today is a society of public opinion. No matter how high-minded a person is, he can still be drowned by saliva.
Shi Xiaonian has built up her image so well over the years that it has become irreversible among the public. In the past two years, she was ranked among the top 100 most influential women in the world. She has no background but has already reached a high moral level. .
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian smiled and said, "Thank you, madam."
Her heart finally calmed down, and she returned to sit down next to Gong Ou, showing a big smile.
Although she was chatting and laughing with Gong Kui on the way here, only she knew the uneasiness in her heart. Although her relationship with the Gong family had eased over the years, that was when Gong Ou was not around and she was in the same boat. Worry about not getting approval.
She was okay if she couldn't get consent. What she was most afraid of was affecting Gong Ou's mood.
Gong Ou is getting better little by little now. What he needs most in life is smooth sailing, no more ups and downs.
It's nice to be like this now.
"Okay, it's very late. I'll talk to you some things tomorrow. Go down and rest first." Luo Qi didn't leave them too much, and turned to look at the maids aside, "The second young master's room has been tidied up. ?"
"It's all packed, ma'am."
The maid nodded.
"Prepare a supper for the young master and make some sweet soup. Do you understand?" Luo Qi explained the matter in detail, and the maid responded one after another.
Shi Xiaonian sat there, reaching out and grabbing Gong Ou's hand tightly.
…
In the Gong family, Shi Xiaonian was led to the room by Gong Ou. She held his hand, intertwined their fingers, and followed him forward. (To be continued)
