Gong Ou lowered his eyes and looked at the two people's intertwined hands. A strange feeling surged up from his chest, and he was momentarily absent-minded.
"Got it."
After a long time, he finally said this.Shi Xiaonian smiled, "Gong Ou, remember, no matter what you look like, I feel happy."
"…"Gong Ou lowered his eyes and looked at her, once again lost in thought.
Gong Ou's condition slowly improved under Shi Xiaonian's enlightenment, and his cold armor was slowly taken off, he returned home earlier and earlier.
Even Gong Yao revealed a hint of astonishment whenever he saw Gong Ou coming back.
A week later, Shi Xiaonian, Gong Ou and the twins arrived in Britain.This was the first time the family of four went out together, which was tantamount to having a family trip. Shi Xiaonian took photos of them with her camera in her hand.
The group stopped and walked along the road. Any beautiful scenery that Gong Kui and his group encountered, Shi Xiaonian excitedly wanted to get off the car to take their pictures.
Only Gong Ou and Gong Yao were left in the car silently.
Along the way, he saw a thick layer of fallen leaves and a lonely swing. Gong Kui was lying on the ground as he took pictures of Gong Kui with his camera.
"When will you guys be able to return to Gong Jia?"
Gong Ou sat on the carriage and said, but he still allowed them to take photos, and did not urge them to."Dad, Holly, come take a picture."
Gong Kui used all her might to pull on the carriage door and shouted, "Let's take a photo together, don't get in the carriage."
Gong Yao did not reply.
Gong Ou looked at the poll on his phone increasing in power, he lowered his eyes and looked at Gong Kui, "You can take the photos yourself."
"No, come down and take a picture together. Let's do it together. Come on."
Gong Kui shouted with all her might, insisting that Gong Ou and Gong Yao come down to accompany her for her photos.
"There's really no need." Gong Ou rejected his again. When he raised his eyes, he saw Shi Xiaonian in front of the swing, stepping on the leaves on the ground as he looked down at the photo. His long hair was floating in the wind, and his face was filled with a happy smile.
She seemed happier and happier.
It seemed that they had finally found the right way to get along with each other."Holy, get out of the car and take a picture."
Gong Ou said as he looked at Gong Yao, who was at the side. He then lifted his little face to look at him, and a hint of astonishment flashed past his eyes.
Seeing that Gong Ou and his son had gotten off the car, Shi Xiaonian was overjoyed. He went up to touch Gong Kui's little head.
"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. Since it was rare for Gong Ou to cooperate with them, she immediately gave the camera to the bodyguard beside him."Alright, Miss Xi."
The bodyguard nodded.Shi Xiaonian handed the camera over to the bodyguard and then ran over to Gong Ou in a hurry. She stood beside him and reached out her hands to hug Gong Ou's arms.
It was their first family fortune, so many years too late.
"Mr. Gong, your head is lowered. Can you watch the camera? The effect will be better. " The bodyguard said while holding the camera.
Gong Ou finally saw the camera.
Along with the shutter piece, a picture of the whole family was born in a leaf in England.As expected, it was already very late when he arrived at the Gong Jia's ancient fortress.
Deep into the night.
The car stopped in front of a forest. Many servants wearing ancient clothing were already waiting there. Everyone bowed when they saw them get off the carriage.
The maids that took care of Gong Yao and the others immediately came over and brought them to wash up.
Shi Xiaonian stood beside Gong Ou and looked ahead. In the darkness of the night, there was a field of lights.
The Gong Jia of England.
He had finally arrived.Shi Xiaonian took a deep breath, and slowly clenched her hands that were by her side.
"Scared?"
Gong Ou's voice sounded beside her ears.
"When you were away, I had been going back and forth with this place for four years, how could I be so easily scared?" Shi Xiaonian smiled lightly and reached out to grab Gong Ou, "Let's go, let's go in."
"Second Young Master, this way please."
A servant bowed his head to them and led the way.The scenery of the Gong Jia was similar to that of a noble at night, heavy and magnificent.
Shi Xiaonian held Gong Ou's arm and walked step by step inside, past the walls of the corridor and into the hall.
The nobles called this color heavy.
Shi Xiaonian and Gong Ou walked in, and the servants stood on both sides. When they saw them, they all lowered their heads.The two of them stood in the middle of the hall.
Gong Ou watched his surroundings expressionlessly.
"Are you finally willing to come back?"
An elegant voice floated down from above.
Shi Xiaonian raised her head and looked at Luo Qi as she slowly walked down the stairs. It had been a long time since they last met, but she still gave off a noble vibe.
Luo Qi slowly walked down the stairs. The makeup on his face was exquisite, but it still couldn't hide the traces of tears.Gong Ou looked at her and let go of Shi Xiaonian's hands. Taking two steps forward, he slowly lowered his head towards Luo Qi, "Mother."
His voice was low.When the voice came out, the eyes Shi Xiaonian looked at Luo Qi with instantly reddened.
Luo Qi walked towards Gong Ou quickly and hugged him, "You're finally back, my son."
Luo Qi choked up.
Gong Ou let her hug him.Shi Xiaonian quietly stood at the side. Luo Qi's emotions were a bit agitated, and it took a long time for his to calm down. The three of them sat down on the sofa.
Shi Xiaonian sat quietly beside Gong Ou.
Luo Qi wiped off his tears with the handkerchief, his graceful and beautiful face revealed a look of anger, and said to Gong Ou: "Why don't you come and see us when you're back? I can only see your news every day, and your father also doesn't allow me to go, afraid that I'll disturb your comeback."Gong Ou sat there for a while before saying indifferently, "I'm back now."
"Then do I need to thank you?"
Luo Qi's tone was filled with resentment. She hadn't contacted her in four years and was busy rebuilding her career upon her return, so he had completely failed to take care of her as her mother.
"No need to thank me."Gong Ou said, upon hearing that, Shi Xiaonian immediately extended her hand out to press against his leg, using her gaze to signal him.
"…"
Luo Qi fumed, she did not know whether she should continue being sad or not.
Gong Ou looked into Shi Xiaonian's eyes, and said with a suppressed voice. "Didn't you say you could think of something to say?"
That was towards her, not his own kin. Wasn't saying such words to him supposed to make him angry to death? Luo Qi had also waited for him for four years.
Seeing the two of them like this, Luo Qi felt like he was being ignored. Her gaze landed on Shi Xiaonian, "Miss Xi."
"Yes, ma'am."Shi Xiaonian sat upright.
"Didn't you say you broke up? "It doesn't look like a breakup now." Luo Qi said with a blaming tone, "If it wasn't for Gong Ou assuring his father that he would not delay the development of N.E. and the Gong Jia, I would have wanted to chat with you a long time ago."
So it turns out that Gong Ou had even given Gong Jia such a promise, but she actually did not know about it.
Shi Xiaonian really hated herself for tripping over Gong Ou too many times.
She stood up from the sofa, looked at Luo Qi and calmly said, "I'm sorry, this time it's my fault. I went to the media to speak nonsense without clarifying anything, just this once."
"That sounds nice."
Luo Qi said coldly, his tone still filled with dissatisfaction. She looked at them and asked directly, "Are you here to send your children back or are you here specifically to visit us?"
Her son, she knew, was very little in kinship.Send children?
Shi Xiaonian's eyes drooped slightly. She wasn't here to send off her child, so she turned to look at Gong Ou, who was staring intently into her eyes. He raised his hand and pulled her to sit down, then looked at Luo Qi.
"Neither." Gong Ou said in a deep voice, "We are getting married, that's why we came back to inform you."
These words were both direct and hurtful.
As Luo Qi listened, a flash of sadness passed through her face, but she was not surprised. She only asked, "Are you sure you want to get married? No change this time? Will there be a divorce after a while? "
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian looked at Luo Qi in surprise, "Madam, you agreed?"
Just agree to marry the two of them?
"Can you disagree?" Luo Qi said coldly, "You searched for Gong Ou for four years, and every single person knew that you were an idiot. Even if you say something about annulling the marriage, once Gong Ou marries another person, wouldn't the masses suspect that you, Cinderella, had been ostracized by our family? How much of an impact does this have on us, Gong Jia, and Gong Ou? "
Today was a public opinion society. No matter how high and mighty a person was, they would be drowned by the same drool.
In the past two years, Shi Xiaonian had even ranked in the top 100 most influential women in the world, but without any background, she was already at the top of the moral hierarchy.
Hearing that, Shi Xiaonian laughed: "Thank you Madam."
Her heart finally settled as she returned to Gong Ou's side and sat down, revealing a big smile.
On the way here, even though she had chatted and laughed with Gong Kui the entire way, only she knew of the nervousness in her heart. Even though the relationship between her and the Gong Jia had eased up a bit, in Gong Ou's absence, in a situation where they were both ill, she had been worried that she might not get permission.It was fine for her to not get permission, but what she was most afraid of was affecting Gong Ou's mood.
Gong Ou had slowly started to improve. He needed to live a smooth sailing life the most, he did not need to suffer any more.
It was good now.
"Alright, it's already very late. There are some things that I'll talk to you about tomorrow. Let's go down and rest first." Luo Qi did not spare them, he turned to look at the maids at the side, "Has Second Young Master's room been cleaned up yet?""Yes, ma'am."
The maid nodded.
"Prepare a midnight snack for the young master and make some sweet soup, got it?" Luo Qi explained the situation in detail, and the maid answered yes repeatedly.Shi Xiaonian sat there and grabbed Gong Ou's hand tightly.
Gong Jia, Shi Xiaonian was led into the room by Gong Ou. She held his hand, intertwined her fingers, and followed him.
