"Calm down, calm down!" Ji Yang pressed his hand down. "I’m quitting the entertainment industry not because of this exposé, it’s just that I want to quit!"
"How can you do this? How can you be so irresponsible? Do you know that every time you have an event, we go to great lengths to support you, to cheer for you? Sometimes we wish we didn’t have to sleep or eat, but we always have to support you, we..." She became incoherent, the whole person became anxious, and finally not knowing what else to say, she burst into tears.
Li Yi pressed his brow and simply turned around, unable to watch any longer!
Ji Yang had seen many fans who would cry immediately , but in this situation, he was still a bit embarrassed.
He Meijuan glanced at everyone’s expressions and went over to pull Shen Congling back to her side, "Lingling, don’t make trouble here!"
Shen Congling bit her lip and silently shed tears.
Finally, it was time to eat, and everyone stopped discussing other matters. They started lighting candles for Lu Sinian and singing the birthday song. Tu Yingying, who was locked in the room, heard the sounds outside and cried her heart out, but no one paid attention to her.
The birthday party finally ended, and everyone left one by one. Shen Congling remained in despair, only approaching Ji Niandong before leaving, saying, "Sister Tongtong, I’ve thought a lot recently. It was my immaturity before, my brother being such a jerk, and I kept causing you trouble. Rest assured, I’ve found an internship at a gossip society. Also, whether or not you’re really angry with me, I’ll find a way to make you forgive me. I’m leaving for now!"
Ji Niandong had never seen her in such an out-of-sorts yet earnest state before; before she could open her mouth, she had already strode away, leaving her with only a helpless sigh.
Just as Gu Xiyao was walking out the door, her arm was suddenly grabbed by a familiar small hand. She turned to see Lu Sinian looking up at her pitifully, his face flushed red from the hat and scarf he was wearing.
She said to Ning Zesheng beside her, "Wait for me a moment!"
Ning Zesheng strode over, and only then did Gu Xiyao ask, "What’s wrong, Nian Nian?"
Her voice was gentle and pleasant, making Lu Sinian feel dizzy. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he quietly asked, "Why did you only come back to see me now?"
"Did Nian Nian miss me? Seems like Nian Nian always remembers me!" Gu Xiyao slightly crouched down to meet his eye level, gently touching his face, "I missed you too, Nian Nian."
Lu Sinian’s eyes reddened, "Then why did you only come back to see me now?"
"Hmm... Grown-ups always have their own things to do!" Gu Xiyao seemed to seriously ponder her answer.
"Daddy says that too." Lu Sinian replied with his head down, then sadly asked, "Do you actually not want me? Is that why you never come looking for me? Is that why, although you’ve been back for over a month, you only came to see me now?"
He held her arm tightly, his whole being cautious and careful.
Gu Xiyao slowly stood up, silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Nian Nian, have you misunderstood something?" Newest update provıded by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
Lu Sinian suddenly raised his head, "Did I misunderstand? Have you always wanted to come back to see me, but Daddy wouldn’t let you? He made you marry Uncle Ning, and you said you were coming back to get married just so you could come and see me, and you specially came to celebrate my birthday with me, isn’t that right?"
He looked at Gu Xiyao both nervously and expectantly. Gu Xiyao opened her mouth, but the standard lady-like smile faded, her face void of any color, "Nian Nian, I’m not your..."
"Oh! I know!" Lu Sinian shyly smiled, took out his little phone, "Let’s exchange contact information, I won’t tell Daddy!"
Gu Xiyao reluctantly frowned slightly, but in the end, she reached out and left her phone number.
"I won’t talk to you anymore, you go first! See you next time!" Lu Sinian turned and walked inside the hall.
