"Sure, why wouldn't you help? We've been fighting for a year now, even though it's basically you getting unilaterally beaten by me..."
The anger in Xiao Yisheng's eyes gradually subsided, and his tone softened slightly, "That's more like it. Why is it so difficult to tell you something?"
Gong Ning chuckled a few times, glanced at her face a few more times, and then suddenly looked away. "But you're clearly not that bad woman's biological daughter, so why do you look so much like her repulsive face? You didn't look like this when you were little, did you? Otherwise, I wouldn't have mistaken you for her when I was drunk that day!"
Xiao Yisheng spoke casually, as if he didn't care about anything, "To avoid her suspecting my true identity, I can do my makeup while looking in the mirror!"
Gong Ning scoffed, "I really don't know why you would acknowledge someone as your mother when she's so vicious!"
Xiao Yisheng suddenly lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly. "She's very good to me. Besides, I have no mother other than her!"
For orphans...
The word "mother" signifies all the warmth and comfort in the world!
There's always an unconscious urge to feel a connection and draw closer...
Gong Ning's fingers, gripping the back of the chair, curled slightly. Her eyes flashed, and she didn't say anything more.
The autumn morning sun was warm. Gong Ning turned her face to the side, letting the sunlight bathe her. She squinted comfortably and spoke softly, "Try doing this, close your eyes, face the warm sun, and you might feel your mother's warmth..."
It was rare for Gong Ning to speak to her so kindly, and Xiao Yisheng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Turning to look at the girl bathed in sunlight, his eyes welled up with tears, and he felt a surge of emotion.
Although the two of them were always fighting or bickering when they were together, they rarely got along peacefully.
But it just so happens that in this world...
Gong Ning closed her eyes and remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled, "Forget it, you wouldn't understand such poetic sentences anyway, why should I waste my time talking to you like a brick wall?"
Xiao Yisheng: "......."
She regretted the damned feeling of being moved just now, and her hands started itching again.
Gong Ning spoke up again, seemingly casually, "By the way, Miss Xiao, do you owe me an apology for your insults and abuse of me at Manzhu Tower that day?"
The previous contract incident was a performance for outsiders, primarily referring to the Xiao family.
Both of them knew the truth.
Xiao Yisheng's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, and he asked hesitantly, "Then what about the time you dislocated all my bones and knocked me unconscious with your shoe?"
"Whether you were really dizzy or faking it that day, you know perfectly well in your heart. Besides, why did you point your finger at me and start cursing at me right away? It's one thing to use such nasty language, but you also made yourself look so much like that wicked woman. You deserved to be hit! Besides, this isn't the first time I've dislocated your bones. Why are you making such a fuss?"
Xiao Yisheng coughed lightly, feeling slightly guilty. He mimicked her tone and retorted, "Who told you to leave the Xiao family without a word? I can forgive the others, but you didn't even tell me! Who else should I scold if not you? You deserve it! Besides, this isn't the first time I've given you a thorough dressing down. Is it really necessary to make such a fuss? And... I was drinking that day, I was a little out of it..."
Gong Ning chuckled, feigning sudden realization, "So you couldn't bear to part with me, huh? How rare, Xiao Yisheng, has the sun risen in the west?"
"Gong Ning, you're asking for it!"
Xiao Yisheng pretended to chase after her, but Gong Ning ran away in a flash, her little face beaming with a bright and unrestrained smile!
Just then, the phone rang; it was Luo Xi calling.
The investigation must have yielded results. Gong Ning gestured for Xiao Yisheng to be quiet, then answered the phone.
