"Are you here to negotiate terms with me again?" Ferrens paused the pen in his hand, and black ink dripped onto the white rice paper, leaving a thick stain. "Your mother will only drag you down. Night Owl, a man who is dragged down by women everywhere will never achieve anything great!"
"No matter how much of a burden she may be, she is still my mother, and I am willing to do it. Besides..." Night Owl paused and looked at Ferrens, "I told you a long time ago that I have no interest in your great cause."
"Even if you're not interested, you have to show me that you're interested! Who am I working so hard for?"
Night Owl raised his gloomy eyes, his expression still grim, "You went to so much trouble just to find a way for me to marry a woman I don't love at all?"
Ferens sneered, "Night Owl, was it me who asked you to marry her, or were you holding on to the last bit of hope and testing that heartless woman? Think carefully about it!"
Night Owl was shocked and his breathing became heavier.
"When have you ever been someone who was willing to be controlled by others? If that woman now says to you even one sentence, 'Don't get married' or 'Don't marry another woman', will you still abide by the promise you made to me and marry Nalan? I don't believe you are so obedient."
Ferrens' words hit the nail on the head, even though he was unwilling to admit it.
But, if I wasn't still holding on to expectations and testing whether she cared about me at all, how could we have had a fireworks night last night
But, in the end…
"If I'm not mistaken, she has disappointed you again, right? When you were engaged, she didn't stop you, which is understandable. But now you are getting married, has she said anything to keep you? Night Owl, you can give up now!"
Night Owl clenched his fists and breathed much heavier.
actually…
From the day Tang Song told him that she had no reaction after knowing the news of her marriage, he had already guessed what the final outcome would be.
last night…
He understood better...
Not only did she not try to keep him, but she decided to... forget him...
Completely forgot about him...
"It's not that I want to break you up, but she doesn't deserve you to treat her like this! Ye Xiao, if you still don't give up, I can still give you a chance - if she dares to stand up to stop you and Nalan on the day of your wedding, and can pass my test, I will not only no longer care about your affairs, but I will also return your mother intact. Whether you want to get married or go far away, go ahead. But if she doesn't show up, you must take over all my affairs in the future, and you must never say to me "I'm not interested" again. How about it? Do you have the confidence to bet?"
Night Owl looked at Ferens with deep eyes. Finally, he raised his thin lips and said, "Okay, I'll bet with you."
In fact, he, Night Owl, has nothing to lose.
Now, I am already alone.
only…
Does he still have this confidence
He opened the door of the study and walked out with heavy steps. He leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and took two long puffs.
That woman never gave him confidence.
From the beginning to the end, she always tried to withdraw from the situation to save herself, rather than fighting for it. It seemed like it was always his wishful thinking.
So, in her world, what kind of position does he, Night Owl, occupy? Is he dispensable, or a useless thing that is worth chewing and a pity to throw away
… … … … …
the other side.
Bai Suye got off the plane and walked out of the exit. From afar, he saw the old man, the old lady, Bai Yeqing and Bai Lang standing there.
As soon as she appeared, the old lady ran over and hugged her tightly without saying a word.
“Susu... come here, let mom take a good look at you!” The old lady’s eyes were red.
"Mom, I'm fine..." She said to comfort him. After experiencing life and death again and again, returning to this familiar land, it felt like half a century had passed.
"Mom, I heard that your arm was injured. You were also suffering from some disease. Are you healed now? Where is the injury? Let me see!"
"My injuries and illness have all healed. Look, I am fine now, right?"
"What's wrong with you? I see you've lost so much weight!" The old lady wiped her tears.
"Well, it's good to be back. That's how work is. There are always some risks." The old man interrupted and glanced at his daughter. In addition to the distress, his eyes were full of praise. "You completed this mission very well. You did not fail your mission."
"Thank you, Dad."
"Go back first. You have indeed lost weight. Let Aunt Lin give you some nourishment."
"That's right. Susu, I've made it clear this time that you are not allowed to live outside alone anymore. From now on, you have to come back to Zhongshan!"
Bai Suye smiled and said nothing against it. The warmth from her family warmed her always cold heart for a moment.
There is a burden on my shoulders.
A warm coat covered her shoulders. She looked up and met Bai Yeqing's gaze.
"It's cold outside, put on some clothes."
"Um."
"Go back first."
"good."
"I'll go drive!" White Wolf was also very excited and turned around and ran out.
… … … …
The whole family is lively and cheerful.
In the kitchen, a table full of delicious dishes was prepared. Bai Suye actually had no appetite, but she didn't want to worry everyone, so she ate some anyway.
At night, when I returned to the room, I found that all my luggage had been moved here.
It's nice to live here.
At least it's lively.
She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear the silence when she was alone.
She opened the box and took out the things inside one by one. There was a knock on the door, but she didn't look up, just said, "Come in."
Bai Yeqing pushed the door open, sat on the chair and looked at her for a while.
"What are you looking at?" She pursed her lips, pretending to be relaxed, "I've only been gone for a few days, and you're staring at me like that."
"Was it Night Owl who saved you?" Bai Yeqing finally spoke.
When Bai Suye mentioned that person, his expression froze for a moment, but he still nodded gently, "... Yeah."
Bai Yeqing was not surprised.
Although Ye Xiao was a cold-blooded thug in the eyes of all government troops, she was actually a loyal and righteous person. Otherwise, she would not have been able to complete the mission ten years ago.
He looked at Bai Suye worriedly, "You..."
"You said he's going to get married?" Bai Suye interrupted him.
"..." Bai Yeqing's expression deepened, "I don't want to bring up your sad story, but... you need to adjust yourself. I see that your mental state is not very stable."
