The next second, the envelope disappeared from her arms.
Gong Ou stood there, his eyes lowered as he looked at the letter in his hand. He tore it open, took out the letter, and opened it.
[Gong Ou:
The press conference should be over by the time you read this letter, but it's not past your deadline.
I know you're betting, betting that I can't let this relationship go any more than you can.
You won.
I really can't let it go. According to you, I've already closed the gallery. I don't want to lie to you. I really don't know if I can fall in love with you.To me, you only have Gong Ou's empty shell, but you have changed your soul.
But I ask myself, there are so many people in the world, I am only willing to live with you for the rest of my life, and I don't want anyone but you.
Sorry, I can't appear on the day of the press conference to maximize your benefits. Just think of it as my last chance to live for myself.
If you still want me, wait for me to come back. In the future, I will listen to you as long as you are willing to follow me.
Stay in the minuscule thought.]
Music began to play on the stage.Gong Ou stared at the letter deeply. The thin lip tightened its grip as if it was stabbed in the heart by something. It felt painful and itchy at the same time.
There are so many people in the world, but I'm only willing to live with you for the rest of my life.
In the end, the only person she loved was the old Gong Ou.
However, he didn't make her afraid to escape to the ends of the earth. This proved that the current him shouldn't have been defeated to the point where he couldn't be saved, right?
"Heh."
Gong Ou suddenly laughed lowly, the corner of his mouth curving upwards.
Should he praise her? From the beginning to the end, no matter how the person changed, she only loved that person and never changed her mind.
Fine, since she's so honest, he will return her most beloved Gong Ou.
As for him …Gong Ou raised his eyes and looked at the gigantic stage, his gaze deep. He had obtained the promise of her wish to live his entire life, and had not come here for nothing.
He folded the letter bit by bit and put it in his pocket, his fingers caressing the cuff buckle, then he walked towards the stage resolutely.The crowd immediately burst into a thunderous clamor.
When the holographic age's press conference began, it was 3 in the morning in Italy. Shi Xiaonian and her team of lawyers stayed in White Sands Islands.
The lawyers went to bed.
Shi Xiaonian, however, was not sleepy at all. She sat on the sofa and turned on the television.
Gong Ou was in high spirits on the television, standing alone on stage, he was the focus of everyone.
He stood there and demonstrated the relevant content of the holographic age, as admirable designs were displayed one after another in front of everyone's eyes.It was undeniable that he was a technological genius, and his influence on humans was terrifying.
Perhaps towards Gong Ou, he really couldn't use a normal person's feelings and thoughts to restrain him. He was so strong, so he was born high above, and made people submit to him.Shi Xiaonian stared at the television, and revealed a faint smile.
She was willful for one last time. Once she returned, she would submit to him.
"What do humans rely on in their future? Technology. Technology makes your life easier, and that is an improvement in the unlimited quality of your limited life. " Gong Ou spoke on stage alone, his speech clear and endless. His voice was low and sexy.As Shi Xiaonian watched with a smile, she suddenly realized that Gong Ou had done something small.
It had only been half an hour since the start of the conference, and he had already touched the cuff buckle countless times, so he had to do it every time he stopped.
This action caused Shi Xiaonian to be startled, and her heart had a bad taste.
Could it be that she was thinking too much again? This action had no special meaning to the current Gong Ou.
Shi Xiaonian sat on the sofa and watched the entire ceremony. As she had expected, Gong Ou did not mention anything about their marriage.
Shi Xiaonian saw that her back was aching and her waist was sore. She fell down on the sofa and took out her phone to silently brush up on the news.She read every single one of them related to Gong Ou, word for word.
After reading every piece of news, the sky began to brighten.
Shi Xiaonian got up from the sofa, picked up a basket of apples and walked out, through the meandering road towards the ocean.Four years.
The White Sands Islands was no longer as glorious as it was four years ago. Every year, it would decline.
Shi Xiaonian carried the apple and walked to the seaside. The ocean water was calm, and in the distance, a ray of light slowly appeared at the end of the sea.
It was sunrise.Shi Xiaonian walked to the seaside, looked at the peaceful surface of the sea, and said softly: "Father, Mother, I'm here."
"…"
In response to her was the sound of a seabird.
"It's a bit late this year, do you know why? Because Gong Ou is back, and he is back unharmed. It must be you guys who are secretly protecting him, right? "Shi Xiaonian squatted down by the seaside, picked up an apple and placed it into the water, letting the apple follow the sea into the distance.
"I've spent a lot of time with the twins as well. It's been a particularly memorable year, and everything will be fine." Shi Xiaonian put the apples one by one into the water.
Images of her father pruning apples for her and her mother were always imprinted in her mind.In these past four years, she had always used this way to pay her respects to her parents.
At the end of the sea, the red sun rose little by little, dyeing the surface of the sea with its color. It slowly illuminated Shi Xiaonian's figure.
"Gong Ou is very busy right now, I'll bring him to meet you guys in a while, okay?" Shi Xiaonian looked at the apples floating far away on the sea surface, and said while smiling, "There's one more thing I need to do when I return this time."
"…"The seabirds flew by and the sea breeze was cold.
"It's Mu Qianchu. He has decided to return all the wealth of the Xi Family to me." Shi Xiaonian squatted down, hugged her knees and said, "I've decided to accept it."
"…""I know that my father is a formidable person, and I don't understand those things I can't help but do. But I really don't need that much money, and I also don't know how to shine on the doorways of Xi Family. So I want to donate the money one by one. " Shi Xiaonian said, and asked carefully, "Can I? Father. Mother. "
She needed an answer from her parents.
As she spoke, the sea breeze suddenly turned gentle, like a palm caressing her face. Far away, the light of the sunrise grew brighter and brighter, causing the surface of the sea to sparkle.Shi Xiaonian revealed a faint smile, she thought that she found out the answer from her parents, "Thank you. Don't worry, I won't sell the White Sands Islands and I won't donate. This is my home, I will keep it forever. "
The wind was softer than before.Shi Xiaonian quietly squatted there, talking to her parents.
Her parents were always very tolerant of her.At dawn, Shi Xiaonian and the team of lawyers got busy handling all kinds of procedures.
Mu Qianchu did things very quickly. In the past, they could basically successfully transfer assets to others.The local city was indeed a bit chaotic. It seemed to be some kind of dispute between mafiosi. There were very few pedestrians on the roads, so it was rather closed.
Shi Xiaonian and the rest were still fighting when they passed by, so the driver immediately drove away.
"Miss Xi, Mr. Mou has prepared all the proof of the materials, so there is no delay in the formalities. I think tomorrow, we can complete all the formalities."On the carriage, the lawyer explained to Shi Xiaonian.
"Yes."Shi Xiaonian took the documents and signed her name. One of the younger lawyers looked at the car window and said coldly, "Hurry up and leave, this place can't stay any longer. It's still peaceful in the country."
"Look at how scared you are, Miss Xi didn't even say he was scared." Someone mocked him.
"Uh, I was just scared. How about it? Fighting, please. Didn't you see that just now, those people shot their guns at me. They scared me to death.""Alright, alright, Miss Xi, why don't we set a flight ticket for tomorrow night, and go back to the country as soon as the procedures are completed. As for the remaining procedures, wait until things are a bit more peaceful here, then come back?" A lawyer asked Shi Xiaonian.
Shi Xiaonian did not object, and nodded: "Alright."
It was indeed a little chaotic over here.
They went to the next law firm. Shi Xiaonian was listening to the lawyer talking to the other party.A message popped up on his cellphone.
Do you want to meet him? Shi Di.]
It was a message from Shi Di.
To be honest, she did not want to see Mu Qianchu again.
Soon, another message appeared on his phone. It was an address and it wasn't too far away.
Shi Xiaonian closed his phone and did not look at it again.
"Miss Xi, the procedures here are done. We can go to the next place." The lawyers stood up, their voices awakening the absent-minded Shi Xiaonian.
"Alright. It's been hard on you all. You've been running all day. "Shi Xiaonian smiled as she thanked them, then stood up and followed them.
The car was on the road.Shi Xiaonian sat at a seat close to the window and looked outside. She had already reached the coffee shop that Shi Di had mentioned in the message.
[Please, Sis.] Shi Di.]
Looking at the message, Shi Xiaonian closed her eyes and said, "You guys must be tired, why don't you go and drink a cup of coffee to relax?"
"Oh yeah."The young lawyer cheered.
The car stopped in front of the coffee shop, and the group of people entered the coffee shop one after another. Shi Xiaonian did not go in, but stood beside the car instead.A moment later, the door of the café opened from the inside.
Shi Di walked out from inside. After four years of not seeing him, she was as thin as a stick. She wore a dark colored windbreaker that looked like it would be blown away by the wind at any time.Shi Di looked around, seeing Shi Xiaonian who was standing in front of the carriage, she revealed a smile and quickly ran over, "Sis, I knew you would come."
"I'm just giving the lawyers a cup of coffee."Shi Xiaonian had always been cold to Shi Di.
Shi Di laughed awkwardly, and stood in front of her, "It's been four years since we last met, Sis, you are even prettier than you are on TV.""You're too thin."
Shi Xiaonian said as she looked at Shi Di. Shi Di was so thin, he was comparable to her during the hunger strike.
Was it because it had been too hard for him to take care of Mu Qianchu?How could she be this thin? She was completely different from the beautiful superstar from a few years ago.
Time really did change everything.
