"You're giving up now?" Shi Zhiyan asked, puzzled. If you like someone, just go for it, even if he might get beaten to death by King K.
"Do you know why she married Ning Beiyao?" Gong Ou put his hands in his pockets and glanced at Shi Zhiyan.
Shi Zhiyan paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and exclaimed, "So that's how it is!"
"She's not an ungrateful person. The reason she won't go home with her brother is because the Ning family has been kind to her." Gong Ou looked up at the sky; it was already dawn...
“You’re not quite the playboy I imagined,” Shi Zhiyan said, scrutinizing Gong Ou. This man didn’t seem as frivolous as he appeared.
“Those women are just for show, but eventually you have to find someone you truly love. The first time I met Ji Yi, I knew I might fall for her, but it seems I don’t have that chance. Maybe even she doesn’t want me to feel defeated.” He knew Ji Yi could see through him, so when she stopped, he stopped there and decided to be friends.
Everyone here is reasonable, so no one dares to point it out.
Gong Ou ignored Shi's words with a sullen face and drove away.
But there was something he was still a little unwilling to accept: he was waiting. If his family hadn't arranged a marriage for him, if he hadn't turned thirty and hadn't met a girl more attractive than Ji Yi, he could wait for her to get divorced, and then everything would be fine.
He was not the spoiled brat that others described. He had real ability, and more importantly, he worked hard to become a better person after learning about Ji Yi's situation.

"Are you sad?" Ning Beiyao sat next to Shang Xian, unsure of where to put his hands.
Shang Xian smiled faintly: "What are you sad about?"
"You've always known about me and Chu Yuejiao, haven't you?" He wanted to be honest and didn't want to lie to her anymore.
Shang Xian nodded, gazing at the people coming and going ahead.
“I should let go now. I’m telling you all this so that you can trust me from now on.” Ning Beiyao’s gaze was intense as he looked at his profile. Shang Xian turned to look at him in surprise.
She simply said "thank you." Thank you for what? Thank you to the Ning family for protecting Ji Yi.
That's all.
Ning Beiyao chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Ayi, I should show you with actions, not just words."
"Go home," Shang Xian didn't want to hear any more of his words.
"good"
——
A lot happened during the three days that Shang Xian was in a coma, but they all concerned Ji Shifei.
Shen Yi also told her about Ning Beiyao's investigation into him. She asked Shen Yi if he had exposed any information, but Shen Yi didn't reveal a single clue, as if he didn't exist in the world.
Shang Xian was still wondering about something: why Ji's mother's affair hadn't been exposed yet.
Finally, he couldn't resist making a phone call to Ji Li.
"Brother, did something happen to Mom?" Shang Xian sensed that something was amiss.
“Ji Shifei took Mom away…” Ji Li pinched his brow wearily. He hadn’t planned to tell A Yi this, but she was too smart and had guessed it anyway.
Shang Xian was stunned. What did you mean by taking it away? Did you run away carrying the body?
"Brother, what about that mistress? And that illegitimate child?" Shang Xian asked.
"The mistress knew Ji Shifei was unreliable and left him, but the illegitimate child didn't know."
"Brother, be careful. Ji Shifei is capable of anything now." This thought immediately flashed through her mind. Ji Shifei has lost everything, but he still has his mother in his hands. He's a madman now!
"Ayi, do you think he would dare to do anything to me?"
