The secretary walked in and reported the itinerary to Gong Ou.
Gong Ou sat there working and listening, and his black eyes glanced at the time on the watch.
"President, if you have any arrangements later, I will postpone the next appointment with Mr. Tongteng?" Being meticulous is an essential function of a secretary.
"I don't have any plans later."
Gong Ou raised his eyes and looked at the secretary coldly.
"Oh, I see you kept looking at the time and thought you had something important to do later." The secretary lowered his head and said, "President, I'm going out first."
Gong Ou lowered his head to review the report. When he suddenly looked up, he saw Shi Xiaonian's desktop on the computer screen. She was holding a cup in her hand. Her ring finger was smooth and devoid of anything.
"Wait."
Gong Ou spoke indifferently.
"What else does the president have to explain?" the secretary stopped and asked.
"Go and check the blood diamonds on the market. They should be pure in texture. Also, the bigger the better." Gong Ou said coldly.
"Blood diamond? Okay, I'll investigate right away."
The secretary nodded and stepped back.
…
British palace.
Shi Xiaonian was lying on the bed to rest, her whole body seemed to be falling apart, her arms and legs were covered with scratches, and there was also a little wound on her face.
This was an injury she sustained from falling off a horse.
She huddled under the quilt and looked at the time on her phone. It was probably 9 pm at this time in China. She didn't know if Gong Ou was off work.
The way she looks today is not suitable for video. The photo of Gong Ou was taken yesterday.
Just make a phone call.
When Xiaonian struggled to sit up, the maid's voice came from outside, "Madam."
Luo Qi is here
Shi Xiaonian turned her eyes and saw Luo Qi walking in from the outside. Luo Qi looked at her, a look of helplessness flashed across his face, and he shook his head, "When I was learning to ride a horse, I never fell once."
Did Luo Qi come here specifically to visit her
Shi Xiaonian was a little flattered, "I was also careless. I won't do it next time."
"I thought you would think I was deliberately trying to trick you." Luo Qi said.
"It turns out that in Madam's eyes, I am so stupid."
She could tell whether it was intentional or not.
Luo Qi smiled, walked to her bedside and stood, staring down at her, stretched out his hand to check the gauze on her face, and said, "The injury is not serious."
"Thank you for your concern."
Shi Xiaonian sat there and said.
Luo Qi looked at her, "I hope you understand that since we recognize you as Gong Ou's wife, we will not target you as before. And since you are married, you must also understand that you will be the wife of Gong Ou for the rest of your life." Putting the honor of Gong Ou and the Gong family first, I do the same."
Shi Xiaonian nodded, "I understand, madam."
"Have a good rest, and don't rush into learning horse riding." Luo Qi nodded and said, turned around and left, glancing at the photos on the cabinet. She stopped there, picked up the photo frame and lost her mind.
That was a photo of Miyao riding a horse when he was a teenager.
"You miss Gong Ou's brother."
Shi Xiaonian sat on the bed and pointed her out.
Hearing this, Luo Qi's eyes were a little moist. He looked back at her and smiled bitterly, "Gong Yu is much more sensible than Gong Ou. He has a gentle and clean personality and is willing to dedicate everything to the Gong family."
"I heard Gong Ou mentioned that he is a very good person."
Shi Xiaonian said.
"Yes." Luo Qi nodded, suddenly looked at her again, and said with emotion, "It's all your face. I hope your face won't be the curse of our Gong family."
Gong Yu might have died on the way to meet Xi Yu, but now, Gong Ou wants to marry Shi Xiaonian again.
These two people have exactly the same face.
"I don't want to talk about the deceased." Shi Xiaonian said calmly, "But as far as I know, as the eldest son of the Gong family, brother Gong Ou is burdened with a lot of pressure, which is not given to him by my brother."
These words were a fatal wound to Luo Qi. She stood there and looked haggard. "If I had known that this would happen, I would not have let him endure so much during his lifetime."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian looked at a mother's regret in silence.
"Forget it, what's there to say after you've passed away?" Luo Qi said, put the photo frame back, turned around and walked out.
Shi Xiaonian sat quietly on the bed, watching Luo Qi leave, another story of regret but too late.
She didn't want to be too late.
When Shi Xiaonian lifted the quilt and got out of bed, her shoulder hurt terribly. She moved her laptop onto the bed. If Charles saw this, he would frown again.
Shi Xiaonian sat on the bed, opened her laptop, and logged into the communication tool.
Sure enough, Gong Ou still didn't reply to her any message.
What's aloof? Mensao.
Shi Xiaonian thought to herself, and was about to click on Gong Ou's profile picture when an email popped up.
Shi Xiaonian clicked on it.
It's from Mr. Y.
I heard that you went to the UK. Is everything okay
It was a greeting email. He actually knew that she had come to the UK. This Mr. Y was really quite capable.
She replied with one line.
Thank you for your concern, everything is fine. How did you know that I came to the UK
It was quite a chilling feeling that someone had complete control over her movements, but she could not feel any malice from Mr. Y.
Within a minute of sending her email, Mr. Y responded.
The rules of the nobility are quite complicated and boring.
Seeing this sentence, Shi Xiaonian opened her eyes wide in shock. This person also knew that she was at Gong's house
She typed on the keyboard and replied.
Why do you know so much about me? Have you been following me
She asked directly.
After typing her question, it took a long time for the other party to reply.
My purpose is very simple, I just hope that Miss Xi can be happy.
“…”
Then the email showed that the other party was no longer offline. Shi Xiaonian sat there with a headache. She really didn't know if this Mr. Y was her admirer because he knew her movements so clearly.
Turning off the email, Shi Xiaonian clicked on Gong Ou's profile picture.
It's actually online.
She immediately typed out the words—
Gong Ou, take care of me, take care of me.
…
This is from Gong Ou.
Shi Xiaonian knew that he would definitely have to restrain himself when chatting with Gong Ou via text. She simply made a phone call, and Gong Ou answered the call.
"Gong Ou, have you gone home?" Shi Xiaonian asked while sitting on the bed.
"Um."
Gong Ou responded lightly.
"Not bad, I knew I'd go home early." Shi Xiaonian said, "Have you had dinner? Have you taken a shower? The shower gel is almost gone. It's on the lower floor of the locker."
"I've washed it," Gong Ou said.
"Oh, okay." Shi Xiaonian sat on the bed, enduring the bruises on her body, trying to find a topic, and just as she was about to speak, Gong Ou said coldly, "Don't ask if you want her, don't ask if you love her."
She talks too much lately and it's not like her at all.
"Hmm." Shi Xiaonian bit her lip, not allowed to say these sour words? What could she say? Shi Xiaonian rolled her eyes, looked at the computer in front of her, and said, "Let's watch a movie."
"What?"
Gong Ou was startled.
"Do you remember that Mr. Jiang movie? We were together many years ago. Can we watch it again?" Shi Xiaonian said.
"See a movie?"
"Yeah, I'll find the movie and send it to you."
When Shi Xiaonian said that, he searched for it on the computer. It was not easy to find old movies. Finally, he found the download address on a forum, downloaded it and sent it to Gong Ou.
"I didn't say I wanted to see it."
Gong Ou said over there.
"But I want to watch it." Shi Xiaonian said, "The first time I watched this movie, I was in China and you were in the UK; this time, I was in the UK and you were in China. It's so memorable."
"You think this makes sense?"
"Yes." Shi Xiaonian nodded repeatedly, "Hurry up and receive it."
Gong Ou was silent for a few seconds, and finally clicked to accept. He asked, "Don't you think it's boring for two people to watch a movie so far apart?"
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian thought of his terrible self-restraint and said, "Actually, the first time I watched it, I felt bored."
“…”
Gong Ou was silent there.
"But Gong Ou, I just discovered now that as long as you really love that person, two people will not be bored even if they sit in a daze together." Shi Xiaonian said into the phone, "Gong Ou, I have been wrong all these years. "
“…”
Gong Ou was still silent.
"I corrected my mistakes after I realized them. Do you think I did the right thing?" Shi Xiaonian asked.
“…”
Gong Ou was still silent. With such a long distance, Shi Xiaonian didn't know what he was thinking.
"The Internet speed is really fast, the transmission was completed so quickly." Shi Xiaonian said, "Come on, come on, click on it, you can start watching."
Watching the movie slowly start, Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but said, "I miss this movie so much."
Because of this movie, Gong Ou made the Mr robot for her.
When Xiao Nian was immersed in the nostalgia of the movie, Gong Ou suddenly asked on the phone, "How many seconds have you been playing?"
"56 seconds."
"Stop now!"
"Oh." Shi Xiaonian pressed the pause button before she could think more, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
After the words fell, her phone was silent for a few seconds, and then Gong Ou's low and toneless voice sounded, "It's nothing, I only had 50 seconds."
“…”
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian was stunned and then laughed.
"3, 2, 1, you can click start."
"good."
Shi Xiaonian silently nodded, and they started watching simultaneously again.
She suddenly thought that she and Gong Ou were similar to this progress bar. When you were fast, I was slow, and when I was fast, you slowed down again.
But it doesn't matter, as long as one is willing to wait, they can always synchronize.
When Xiaonian sat there, he couldn't feel the pain of the injuries on his body.
…
The next day, Shi Xiaonian took advantage of her minor injuries and no need to study and learn etiquette, so she went out.
The car stopped in front of the majestic teaching building. It was a typical Western-style building, and even the carvings on the wall highlighted its majestic magnificence.
"This is it, Miss Xi."
Charles got out of the car and opened the door for Shi Xiaonian himself.
Shi Xiaonian got out of the car and looked up at the building in front of him, "Is this the housekeeper school?"
"Yes."
Charles nodded.
"Let's go then." Shi Xiaonian said with a smile.
She didn't tell Feng De that she was going to see him. She only asked Charles to check his location and wanted to give him a surprise. (To be continued)
