"Have you thought about it?"
she asked.
"Yes." Gong Yu nodded, looking at her with his eyes, a faint smile on his face, "Xiao Nian, you are a good girl, make Gong Yu happy and don't let him get hurt again."
Shi Xiaonian nodded, she would definitely work hard to do this.
"Then when are you leaving?"
Shi Xiaonian asked again.
"The day after tomorrow." Gong Yu gave an unexpected time.
"So soon? Your injury hasn't healed yet." Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but say, and Gong Yu smiled, "This injury is nothing. There is really no need to stay any longer."
Shi Xiaonian quietly watched the smile on his face, which had a clear bitterness.
"Then..." Shi Xiaonian paused, "Where's my mother? You don't want to go back to visit?"
"Xiao Nian, I won't be able to leave if I go back." Gong Yu looked at her and said, "You are not me. You don't know what kind of environment I have lived in since I was a child. You don't know what it means to me." What I’m talking about is the picture of purgatory painted by those painters, and countless ghosts come out to torment me every day.”
"..." Shi Xiaonian was speechless and could only say, "Okay, I understand. Then you can have a good rest, I'm leaving."
She turned slowly.
"Xiao Nian."
Gong Yu called her.
Shi Xiaonian looked back at him. Gong Yu stared at her and hesitated, "Forget it, it's nothing. You can go."
Shi Xiaonian met his eyes and said, "Yeah. Goodbye."
She turned and left.
After walking out of the hospital, Feng De stood there with his bodyguards. When he saw Shi Xiaonian coming over, Feng De immediately opened the car door for her. Shi Xiaonian saw Gong Ou sitting in the car.
It turns out he hasn't left yet.
Shi Xiaonian walked over and got into the car. She immediately checked the injury on Gong Ou's hand and whispered, "Does it still hurt?"
"Did I look ugly just now?"
Gong Ou stared at her and asked, looking a little embarrassed.
"No, President Gong Da is always handsome." Shi Xiaonian smiled lightly and held his hand, "Since you have forgiven your brother, why don't you have a good chat with him."
"Who says I forgive him?"
Gong Ou spoke coldly.
"Why do you mean what you say?" Shi Xiaonian said, "Everyone can see that you have forgiven him."
"No."
Gong Ou turned to look out the window.
"He's leaving and never coming back."
Shi Xiaonian said. When her words fell, her hand was suddenly clenched by Gong Ou. Shi Xiaonian curled her lips and said she didn't care if she didn't forgive her. She looked at Gong Ou and said, "He will leave the day after tomorrow. Why don't you think about it carefully?" Think about it, don’t leave any regrets for yourself.”
“…”
Gong Ou looked out the window, indifferent.
As soon as he returned to Gong's house, Gong Ou rarely fell into a daze. He stood in front of the window for two hours and didn't even hear Shi Xiaonian calling him.
To stay, to say goodbye, or to turn a blind eye
Shi Xiaonian stared at his figure, secretly wondering what decision he would make. Based on her understanding, Gong Ou should choose to say goodbye. She could neither retain him nor turn a blind eye.
This is Gong Ou's own decision. No matter what he chooses, she will accompany him silently.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou's figure standing in front of the window, then silently retreated, closing the door to give him a space to think.
This time I came to England to hold their wedding. Unexpectedly, the wedding failed, but one thing happened after another.
When Xiaonian was walking in the corridor, even Xiaokui missed the soy milk and fried dough sticks in China, and she also began to miss the life in China.
She still didn't have much sense of belonging in this huge Gong family castle. Every plant, tree, painting, and utensil here felt heavy and extremely depressing to her.
Shi Xiaonian walked into the kitchen, preparing to make some desserts to make Gong Ou feel better. As soon as she entered, she saw two maids coming over holding soup cups, sighing.
Seeing them like this, Shi Xiaonian said without even thinking, "Mother didn't drink?"
"Yes, every time we bring something to Madam, Madam always lets us take it away." The maid nodded, "The second young master brought something to Madam before, but Madam drank it, so we didn't dare to bother the Second Young Master."
If you don’t drink medicated soup, how can you be healthy
Shi Xiaonian frowned. Gong Ou was also upset at this time and it was hard to disturb him. The only person in the entire Gong family who could persuade Luo Qi to drink soup was Gong Ou.
After thinking about it, Shi Xiaonian turned around and left resolutely.
She walked upstairs, holding on to the ancient handrail, her shoes making a dull sound on the stairs.
Two bodyguards stood at a door.
That is Gong Jue's study room. I heard that he always works here.
Shi Xiaonian stood there gritting her teeth, taking a deep breath and then walked forward. Two bodyguards stopped her and lowered their heads to her expressionlessly, "Young Madam, what's the matter?"
"I want to see my father about my mother."
Shi Xiaonian stood there and said.
"I'll go in and report."
The bodyguard said, knocking on the door and walking in.
While waiting at the door, Shi Xiaonian felt awkward inexplicably. She remembered that she had always heard about Gong Jue from Gong Ou and Feng De, but she had never met Gong Jue in person.
He was like a legend. Shi Xiaonian knew that he was a nobleman with a title, a mixed descendant of China and England. He had encountered troughs, but in his hands the reputation of the Gong family had grown day by day. He was harsh and harsh on his children, and he used to be desperate. He was an extremely cruel person who had stopped her and Gong Ou.
She knew so much but had never met him.
After arriving at Gong's house, Shi Xiaonian wanted to formally meet Gong Jue several times, but was refused due to being busy. She thought Gong Jue looked down on her background, so she gave up.
Shi Xiaonian was a little anxious while waiting.
After a long time, the door was opened from the inside, and the bodyguard came out and said to Shi Xiaonian, "Please Madam, come in."
"Thanks."
Shi Xiaonian nodded, raised his legs and walked forward. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and clenched his fists firmly with his hands hanging by his sides.
As soon as she entered the door, she was engulfed by a sense of depression she had never felt before.
Shi Xiaonian thought of those movies in the old castle again.
She walked in with her eyes lowered and slowly raised her face. This was a very large study room with a richer collection of books than Gong Ou's study room. However, all the furniture had an old-fashioned feel and looked quite heavy. There was a floating air in the air. There is a strong smell.
Like incense.
But it's not very fragrant, just very strong.
When Xiaonian raised her eyes and looked forward, she saw a man standing in front of the bookshelf with his back to her. The bookshelf was very close to the window. He was almost entirely under the sun, and the backlight was so hard that it was hard to see clearly.
The sun shines through.
When Xiaonian saw his curly hair, she lowered her head and said, "Father."
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Gong Jue stood in front of the bookshelf and spoke coldly. His voice was indescribable. It was an aura-like voice. Listening to his words, people could not help but kneel down and surrender.
Not sure if it was because of the incense or because Gong Jue's voice was too sharp, Shi Xiaonian felt like she couldn't breathe.
She stood there and tried to calmly say, "My mother is not in good health and she is not willing to drink those medicinal soups. I would like to ask my father to take some time to accompany my mother in his busy life."
Shi Xiaonian didn't know if Gong Jue accompanied Luo Qi on weekdays. Anyway, she never saw him once.
"I know, go down."
Gong Jue spoke coldly.
that's all
"Okay, Father."
She thought that the palace prince had been dissatisfied with her for a long time, so why would he scold her a few words? Shi Xiaonian rolled her eyes, she really couldn't stand the smell of incense here, so she said something and prepared to leave.
Just hearing a "bang", the books on the bookshelf fell and all hit the ground.
Shi Xiaonian looked over in astonishment, walked over without thinking much, bent down, and squatted beside Gong Jue to help pick up the books.
"Who told you to pick it up? Get out!"
An angry voice sounded above her.
Have you finally found an outlet to scold her? She still felt it was abnormal if the palace prince didn't reprimand her.
"Give it back to you."
Shi Xiaonian squatted on the ground, picked up the book and handed it to Gong Jue. Her fingers accidentally crossed his wrist and touched the watch on it. The watch was so cold that she trembled all over.
She was stunned for a moment and looked at the watch in a daze. There seemed to be some moisture on the watch, and the time stopped.
"What are you looking at? I'm a civilian and there are no rules. Get out of here!"
Gong Jue violently shook her hand away, causing her hand to be extremely painful.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian ignored the pain and squatted on the ground and raised her eyes to look at Gong Jue. The sunlight here was so dazzling that she could hardly see his face clearly and could only vaguely see his outline.
"Walk!"
Gong Jue kicked her, turned and left, heading towards the bookshelf at the back.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was kicked and fell to the ground. There was not much anger in her heart, but there was an unspeakable doubt.
Good ice.
She looked at her hand, and there was still a touch of coldness on her fingertips. It was strange why Gong Jue was wearing such a cold watch, as if it had been refrigerated.
The time on the watch is obviously not running, so what is he wearing
When Shi Xiaonian walked out of Gong Jue's study, she kept staring at her hands, feeling suspicious.
…
At night, Gong Ou, Shi Xiaonian and the twins sat in the garden restaurant to dine.
Gong Ou and Shi Xiaonian were both thoughtful and didn't say much. Gong Yao, a little kid, was always cold.
Gong Kui, who loves to be lively and chatty, was suffocated now. She looked at this, looked at that, and was so depressed that she couldn't even eat, "Can't you hear me?"
Gong Ou came to his senses and looked sharply at Shi Xiaonian with a pair of black eyes. She saw her using a knife and fork to cut the scallop shells on the plate, one knife after another.
"Are you going to eat this shell?" Gong Ou said in a low voice, "Why didn't I know you still have this hobby?"
"Ah?" Shi Xiaonian was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that he was cutting scallop shells. He felt a little embarrassed and quickly put the shells aside.
"What's wrong?" Gong Ou asked, his voice magnetic.
He was still distracted after eating, and he was still distracted in front of her. Who was he thinking about
"nothing."
Shi Xiaonian shook her head and lowered her head to cut the food. After thinking about it, she looked at Gong Ou and asked seriously, "Gong Ou, is there such a technology? If the expensive watch is broken, put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate. Is that good?" (To be continued)
