Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou opposite his. Under the light of the candle flame, his face appeared especially gloomy and unfathomable. She was a little perturbed, not knowing how much of what he had said was heard by him.
"Why aren't you saying anymore?"Gong Ou pulled another plate of dessert and began to eat.
His tone was solemn, and there was no trace of anger or joy. Shi Xiaonian bit his lips and asked softly, "Do you not like me saying such words?"
Why was his reaction like this?
She thought he would be shaken when she said she was mentally ill, but he had nothing, and was frighteningly calm.
"No, go on." Gong Ou looked at her, and said in a low voice, "Are you still in your current mental state?"Shi Xiaonian lowered her gaze, and only after a long while did she nod her head, "Gong Ou, I think it's not appropriate for me to be protected like this. to change that. "
"…"
Gong Ou continued to eat the dessert as if he was not full.Shi Xiaonian raised her eyes and looked at him, "If this goes on, I'm afraid that I really won't be able to hold on. I don't want my children to lose their mothers, and even more so, I don't want you to lose your mother …"
At the end, Shi Xiaonian was unable to continue speaking as she observed Gong Ou's expression. Gong Ou was eating his dessert with a dark expression on his face and did not say a word.
The atmosphere was getting heavier and heavier.
The calmer the person was, the more panicked they would be."Do I look like I don't know what's good for me? How many people are unable to get their hands on protection? I am under protection, yet I am causing so much trouble. " Shi Xiaonian said softly, her voice sounded extremely bitter, "I know I'm pretty hateful, but I don't want things to get any worse."
"What do you want to do?"
Gong Ou placed a leftover empty bowl to the side and picked up another bowl of broth with his slender hands.
"I want to stay by your side. I don't want to be protected like this anymore." Shi Xiaonian said, she hoped that he would understand.Gong Ou scooped up the broth and put it in his mouth, a pair of blood red eyes looking at her face which was lit up by the candle flame, "You're saying, my protection of you has caused your mind to collapse?"
"No." Shi Xiaonian retorted without thinking, "I already said, this is my problem, I can't think of a better solution, that's why I said it, you aren't doing so much for me, I know you are doing this for my own good, you have always been doing this for me."She thought that after she confessed, Gong Ou would be very angry, or at least extremely shocked. But she never thought that Gong Ou would have such a reaction.
"If I agree to your terms, I am not completely confident that I can preserve your life." Gong Ou finished his bowl of broth and continued to attack the next dish.
"Maybe things aren't as bad as we thought. Lancaster is already seriously injured, isn't she?" Shi Xiaonian said softly.
Gong Ou sat there silently. When he finished another dish, the plate in front of him slowly piled up.
Gong Ou looked at him uneasily, unable to fathom his reaction. He picked up another piece of cake and started to eat it, when he suddenly said, "If I don't agree, will you be killed by me?"
Shi Xiaonian frowned, "Gong Ou, this is not your fault. Really, I have my own problems, my endurance is too weak, I can't stand living a closed lifestyle, I can't stand people holding onto me carefully like a glass bottle, offering it to them …"
"Why is it all your fault?" Gong Ou interrupted her and placed a piece of cake into his mouth."…"
Shi Xiaonian was stunned, staring at him in a daze.
"You've said so much, why is it all your fault?" Gong Ou looked at her, his gaze overbearing.Shi Xiaonian didn't know what to say, "It was my fault in the first place."
"Really?" Since it's your fault, why should I give in for you? " Gong Ou asked coldly.
Hearing that, Shi Xiaonian stood there in shock, her hands on her knees tightly twisted together. Won't you take a step back for me? "
"Jean?" Gong Ou retorted coldly, "In the hospital, you said that my mind is dirty. Since it's not my fault now, why should I let you go? "
Shi Xiaonian stared at him blankly. Was she trying to understate her symptoms? Why can't I talk to him at all?
"Gong Ou, I hope you can forgive me a little. Just take it as if I wanted to act willfully once, okay?" Shi Xiaonian looked at him, begging in her eyes.
He would agree. He loved her, didn't he? He could not bear to see her in such a state.
"What if I don't know?"
"…"
Shi Xiaonian was completely dumbstruck. She never thought that he would have this kind of attitude after she said that her mental state was not good.Gong Ou stared at her, his eyes turning even redder, "Are you trying to escape from my side and resist my protection?"
Escape.
Shi Xiaonian lowered her eyes. Luo Lie and Mu Qianchu had both told her this before, allowing her to live by herself for a while, but she had never thought about it.She didn't dare imagine what Gong Ou would look like if she left him at this moment. She would rather endure it than take that step.
Thinking until here, Shi Xiaonian thought that this conversation could end, it had no meaning at all.
She raised her head, and saw Gong Ou staring straight at her, waiting for her answer.
Shi Xiaonian laughed bitterly and shook her head, "How could that be? Actually my problem is not that serious, it's normal for modern people to have mental illnesses. I can adjust to it myself, let's not talk about it anymore."The candles on the table were burning lower and lower.
The restaurant was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.
"I agree with your request."
Gong Ou said in a deep voice as he piled an empty plate on top of it. Then, he continued to attack the next plate, as if he had never been full.
Shi Xiaonian looked at those empty plates that piled up like a small mountain and could not help but say worriedly, "Enough, don't eat anymore. What did you say? "She suddenly came to her senses and looked dazedly at Gong Ou, who was eating non-stop.
He said that he agreed to her request, what was it, to let her go to England, or to allow her to adjust herself to her feelings?
Gong Ou put down the empty plate in his hand, took a glance at the pretty food on the table, then stood up from the table. His pair of scarlet eyes looked straight at her through the candle flame, and said word by word, "Go wherever you want to go."
With that, Gong Ou turned around and left the dining hall without looking back.
"…"
Shi Xiaonian was left alone there for a long time, unable to react. What did he mean by saying that she could go wherever she wanted to go?Was it anger, or did he agree that she should accompany him to England and no longer protect him?
Would he agree so calmly? This was simply not Gong Ou's personality.
Shi Xiaonian sat there, facing the candlelight that covered the table, she just couldn't understand Gong Ou's reaction. She thought that he would ask her why she was lacking in spirit, and she thought that he would scold her for doing things like this for people that she didn't need to do …But he said nothing, not a word.
Is Gong Ou alright?
After who knows how long, Shi Xiaonian finally stood up from the table and walked out by herself, preparing to first take a look at the two children.
Before he even reached the elevator, Shi Xiaonian saw two female attendants wiping vases while chatting.
"I was so scared, young master's attitude just now was as though he wanted to kill Dr. Lo.""Dr. Lo is the same, I have never seen anyone who dares to argue with Young Master so fiercely, both of them are about to fight."
"Young Master is so angry, he might even want to smash the furniture again. I think we should prepare to clean up.""Sigh …"
Shi Xiaonian was stunned there. Gong Ou and Luo Lie had a quarrel? A flash of light struck her mind, and she knew what it was all about, and ran forward with her hands on her stomach and her legs raised.
She rushed to the door of his bedroom and knocked hard.The door opened, and Lori, in a bathrobe, hair dripping, a face with no features and still angry, stood behind him on the chest of drawers with several fireproof bags, each with someone else's last wishes.
Shi Xiaonian stood there panting. With regards to her arrival, Luo Lie was not surprised at all, as she wiped her hair with a towel and said, "You don't need to look at me like that, I'll say it."
Hearing that, Shi Xiaonian's head blew up, and she said excitedly: "I've said it before, this matter should be my responsibility, why did you insist on having a hand in it?"
"Do you know how to say it? You will only see him give his all for you, and then you will be able to tolerate him and accept his wrongs. " "I just received news that their corpses are still in Police station. Obviously, Gong Jia can take them away and cremate them with just a word, but Mr. Gong doesn't care about these things at all. He doesn't even care about them and will only let them continue to stay in that cold place."
"…"
Shi Xiaonian was stunned.
"Yes, I went to find the Mr. Gong in a fit of anger." Luo Lie looked at her. "I can't stop you giving up on yourself, but did I do wrong?" Don't you need to give me an explanation for the dead? Mr. Mou is still lying in the hospital, don't you need to visit him once? I know the Gong Jia is an aristocrat, high and mighty, but the lives of others are also their lives. "
Shi Xiaonian was unable to refute Luo Lie's words. She lowered her head and said, "I admit that I'm selfish. I don't want to hurt Gong Ou.
He shouldn't have been ahead of her."I can't see you." Luo Lie said.
"What exactly did you tell Gong Ou?" Shi Xiaonian stood there and asked. As matters stood, she could no longer blame anyone.
"I am reprimanding him. Don't think that the life of the Gong Jia is your life." "He thought he was right, so I told him the truth about your situation."
"Honest?"
"The Solanum nigrum has the fear of gunshots, and Holly's shadow is deeper. Your adoptive mother committed suicide, and countless people died for you, all because of him. He thought that he had protected you, but he did not expect that you would bear all the sacrifices." Luo Lie said in detail.
