With his back to her, he naturally didn't let her see the slight smile playing on his lips.
...
In the past few days, while slowly dealing with Xiao Yisheng's online scandals, Gong Ning spent most of her time listening to her talk about Xiao Yiting's second personality, and also learned about the strangeness of Madam Xiao during the time she stayed at the Xiao family's house.
At first, Gong Ning listened with great interest, but as she listened to the later parts, when she talked about the various things that happened when she accompanied Xiao Yiting to see a doctor for active treatment, she felt more and more uneasy.
They said that you can't be alone when you're doing psychological counseling; you have to hold hands. They also said that in order to better alleviate the condition, you should go out more, see natural scenery, watch the tides rise and fall, and watch the sunrise and sunset at the beach.
Xiao Yiting is a big fox, but Xiao Yisheng is a blockhead who's stupid enough to be foolish enough to be tricked and still grin happily.
She couldn't bear to look.
Tsk!
Gong Ning would never admit that she had become one of those under the lemon tree.
She silently cursed for a few seconds, then picked up her phone to send a message to someone. But when she saw his profile picture and the familiar name, her fair face flushed red, and her cheeks felt hot.
Gong Ning regretfully fanned herself with her hand, but felt a burning sensation spreading from her face throughout her body.
The little girl buried her face in the mattress, sobbing softly, her voice both shy and angry.
Why did she have to do that with Yan Jingzhou? Now, whenever she thinks of him, everything feels wrong. She's furious, but there's also a strange, inexplicable flutter in her heart.
Like an invisible little feather, it tickled her heart, making her want to relieve this annoying itch, but she just couldn't find a way. So now, she really wanted to see Yan Jingzhou and play with him like before, but she also felt that the magnetic field between the two of them was really strange, making her a little hesitant. She always felt that if she played with fire, Yan Jingzhou might not let her off as easily as before.
Thinking about it this way, Gong Ning felt unhappy!
Just as the little girl was muttering to herself, the ringing of her phone interrupted her drifting, aimless thoughts, and she lazily picked up her phone.
Upon seeing the name on the caller ID, her large, dark eyes widened instantly, completely losing their previous arrogance. She nervously swallowed, her delicate fingers trembling, and then she tapped "reject."
The room fell silent. Gong Ning blinked, staring in disbelief at her trembling hands, tears of regret welling in her eyes.
She wanted to answer the call!
A moment later, the little girl's rosy cheeks puffed out, and her bright, sparkling eyes looked expectantly at the phone.
Will they call again?
Will it?
Will it?
A dozen minutes later, the little girl lay listlessly on the bed, pouting like a kitten that had been trying to please its owner but was completely ignored. She whimpered and complained, her fur standing on end in annoyance.
I desperately need to smooth my fur.
But after waiting for several days, she still didn't get the smooth hair she was longing for, and instead, she got so angry that she turned into a pufferfish.
For several days in a row, his face was so dark it looked like it could drip water, and everyone in Xingzhan Garden was extremely careful in their actions, afraid of upsetting this little darling.
That day, Gong Ning was lounging in a rocking chair in the garden, scrolling through short videos, when she came across one that challenged her boyfriend's limits and tried to anger him—she deliberately mispronounced his name.
The little girl's eyes lit up.
Hehe, you made me angry with just a phone call, I'll make you furious!
With that in mind, she took out her phone in a good mood and dialed the number without hesitation.
At the same time, the iron gate of Xingzhan Garden was opened, and a sleek luxury car drove in, proceeding along the sycamore-lined asphalt road.
Yan Jingzhou was rubbing his forehead and resting against the back seat.
When he received the call, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, and the weariness between his brows seemed to dissipate considerably. He raised his voice slightly, "Jiaojiao!"
Gong Ning was surprised by the slightly amused voice, but then narrowed her eyes in annoyance and said fearlessly, "Hey, Xiao Yiting, how do you know my childhood name? Don't you usually call me A-Yun? Come on, call me A-Yun and let me hear it. I still prefer to hear you call me A-Yun!"
The air inside the carriage instantly froze.
Ji Chen subconsciously shrank his neck, secretly glanced at President Yan in the rearview mirror, then quickly looked away and focused on driving.
Oh no, look at that gloomy face of the gentleman...
The young woman on the other end of the phone seemed to think the fire wasn't big enough, so she poured in another bucket of oil. "Oh dear, why aren't you saying anything? Is something inconvenient to talk about on the phone? How about we arrange a time to meet up and chat? Anyway, Yan Jingzhou isn't in the country right now, what a great opportunity! Also, I discovered a really good dessert shop just opened in Liangcheng New District, the taste is amazing, I can take you there sometime..."
Gong Ning continued to ramble on very naturally, as if she had said these familiar things to Xiao Yiting more than once.
A deep, cool voice came from the other end of the phone, "Gong Ning, are you itching for a beating?"
Gong Ning's rambling voice stopped abruptly, and then the phone was hung up.
This swift action gave Yan Jingzhou the illusion that Gong Ning was indeed calling Xiao Yiting, but had dialed the wrong number.
The little girl rolled around in the rocking chair, laughing so hard she could hardly breathe; that was exactly the effect she wanted.
She's been sulking all by herself for so many days, how could she not accrue some interest?
snort!
Gong Ning left the small garden in a good mood and slipped through the side door to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. Unexpectedly, she bumped into a man with a cold expression in the hall as soon as she walked through the corridor.
Gong Ning: "..."
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, trying to figure out who was in front of her. Her body acted before her brain could, and she reflexively turned to run away.
Suddenly, someone grabbed the back of her neck, and the little girl's face fell as she struggled, whimpering.
The man squinted; he'd learned to play the victim now.
Ignoring the dozens of eyes watching in the hall, the icy man carried Gong Ning straight upstairs.
Aunt Rong watched from the sidelines, finding it both amusing and heartbreaking. What had Miss Gong done to deserve being dragged upstairs by the master like a child?
Gong Ning seemed to have her throat choked by fate, crying and unable to utter a single word, her little face flushed red.
She felt incredibly unlucky. She hadn't mentioned going home for so long, so why did it have to happen today? Isn't this just one thing after another?
That's it, she's really doomed now, she's been put right in the line of fire!
"Ah Lin, do I still have a way to live?"
Ah Lin decisively feigned death. [Your Highness, what did you say? Ah Lin can't hear you! Is the signal bad? Oh dear, I can't hear you at all! Beep beep, your friend Ah Lin has gone offline!]
Gong Ning: "..."
Gong Ning was pulled to stand by the bed. She didn't dare to sit down and was extremely obedient.
Upon seeing Yan Jingzhou lock the bedroom door, she suddenly collapsed onto the bed in shock, stammering incoherently, "What's wrong? No, no need to lock the door, Yan Jingzhou, let me explain..."
