Chapter 400: Divorce without Marriage

She held the chopsticks tightly with her white hands, and did not put them down, nor did she sit down.

Since we met, you have been clamoring for freedom. From today onwards, you are truly free. Gong Ou said as he sat there, sitting upright, with one leg crossed, and his slender hands resting on his lap , From today on, no one can force you to do anything unless you voluntarily.

Shi Xiaonian stood there, looking down at Gong Ou's face, her lips moved, trying to say something, but she couldn't say anything.

Only silence.

Her hand was hanging by her side, and her thumb stroked a small blister on the tip of her index finger, which was just touched by the hot pot, and it was numb and painful to the touch.

Aren't you leaving yet? Why, do you think I can speak well? Gong Ou raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were covered with red and bloodshot, and said in a low voice, The date of the engagement ceremony has been fixed ,did you see.

Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian's nose was sore, and she nodded with difficulty, I saw it.

This is my promise to give you freedom! Gong Ou said every word from her thin lips, and said every word with force, In the Gong family, there has never been an engagement ceremony that overturned the marriage contract, and naturally there is no Married and divorced.

This is the rule of the palace family.

He once made public the existence of Xiao Nian when he had only met once, because he didn't want all parties to throw marriage intentions at him.

But in the end, he still came to the step of marriage to fulfill the duties of the heir of the palace family.

...

Shi Xiaonian's eyes were sore.

It was for her again.

He swore an oath for her, and now he is holding an engagement ceremony for her, everything is for her.

So you don't have to worry about me coming to pester you again, I know your bottom line, you won't be a mistress, you won't be a lover. Gong Ou said while staring at the dishes on the table, his voice became deeper and deeper and hoarse.

...

Shi Xiaonian slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand, not knowing what to say.

She could hardly hear every word of Gong Ou.

Shi Xiaonian, in fact, we haven't been together for a long time, it's only been a few months, and we've been separated for a little longer. Gong Ou continued, In such a short period of time, I have to take the initiative to maintain it. our relationship.

...

So our relationship, once I let go, is the real end between us. Gong Ou said, Now, it's over.

The real end.

When he broke up, he was fake; when she said no to get back together, he was unwilling; now, is the real end.

Shi Xiaonian tried her best to control her emotions, but when she heard this sentence, she couldn't restrain herself anymore, her eyes were so painful that she suddenly wanted to escape from here and cry bitterly.

She stood by the dining table and looked into Gong Ou's eyes, Miyao, don't worry about me from now on, you can do more things you want to do with peace of mind.

Her existence and Xi Yu's past will all bring him unnecessary and endless worries.

She has let him waste so much time, now don't waste any more.

What I want to do, I don't know what I want to do, do you know? Gong Ou sat at the dining table, slowly raised his face to look at her, his eyes were very red.

I just hope you are well, safe and healthy.

Shi Xiaonian looked at him and said, the thumbnail deeply pressed into the hot blister from the tip of the index finger.

I'm not as great as you. Even if you and Mu Qianchu are happier and more suitable together, I also hope that I will be a thorn that will always exist among you. Don't forget, you can't fall in love within two years. Gong Ou stared at her Said, the voice is cold and sharp, but the eye circles are red.

Shi Xiaonian nodded without any objection, I know, I will follow the contract.

She nodded so quickly and followed him so much, it seemed that he was being unreasonable.

He laughed bitterly at himself, But I'm going to get engaged. It's a real engagement. After the engagement, Mona will live in the Imperial Castle and share a room with me. The relationship between the two families will be closer. In the future, I will bring Watch her attend various activities, appear on various news, and accept various interviews.

Gong Ou said, staring at her deeply with a pair of eyes, observing her expression.

His every word cut through her body like a sharp knife, through her bones. He told her that after the engagement, Mona would have everything she had ever had, including him.

Completely own Gong Ou.

Shi Xiaonian lowered her eyes, and her eyelashes were brought by a touch of water.

Don't you have anything to say?

Gong Ou stared at her and asked.

...

Shi Xiaonian shook his head.

Gong Ou lowered his eyes, and a mocking arc appeared on the corner of his lips, Since I have nothing to say to me, you can go.

Then lunch...

I didn't want to share it with you. Gong Ou said coldly.

Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian backed away slowly, turned around and walked out, step by step, his vision became more and more blurred.

When she walked to the door of the restaurant, Gong Ou's voice sounded behind her, Should I send you an invitation for my engagement ceremony?

...

Shi Xiaonian stood there stiffly, then shook his head.

There was silence behind him.

Shi Xiaonian raised her face to look at her face, blinked her eyes, then turned her head to look at Gong Ou, Actually, I still have something to say to you, the last sentence.

Say.

Gong Ou sat there and said, the sitting posture has not changed from the beginning to the end.

Miyao, from now on, no matter whether I live well or not, you don't care about me, ignore me, treat me as a pile of rubbish. Shi Xiaonian said.

Hearing this, Gong Ou's face darkened, he grabbed the chopsticks in front of him and slammed them to the ground.

That's all she had to say.

No jealousy.

There is no turning back.

He sat there, looking at her with red eyes, Don't worry, I'll be very busy with the engagement ceremony, so I don't have time to worry about you.

...

Shi Xiaonian nodded, she backed away, she looked at Gong Ou, she really wanted to say You want to be happy, but it was ironic in his ears.

She pursed her lips and turned to leave.

When Shi Xiaonian went out, Gong Ou didn't catch up, and didn't tangle with her any more.

Like he said, this relationship, once he gave up, it was really over for them.

Feng De went out with Shi Xiaonian, and sent her to the downstairs of building A, Shi Xiaonian let him accompany her.

Arriving downstairs, Shi Xiaonian stopped in her tracks, looked at Feng De, and said seriously, Housekeeper Feng, Gong Ou and I are really over this time. I have a few words I want to say to you.

Speaking.

Feng De looked at her lovingly.

From today onwards, don't mention my name in front of Gong Ou, don't mention anything related to me. Shi Xiaonian said, Also, even if he asks Butler Feng to check my recent situation, you don't want to Say, especially if I'm not well.

Miss Xi, I'm afraid I can't do this. I'm a housekeeper, so I can't lie to the young master. Feng De said with a frown.

Isn't the housekeeper just to consider everything for the master? Shi Xiaonian said, the whole person fell in the warm sunshine, Besides, I don't want you to deceive Gong Ou, if he tells you, don't be too meticulous, It’s enough to check the general situation and talk about the superficial situation. Is this okay?”

Feng De looked at Shi Xiaonian, with some doubts in his eyes, Why did Miss Xi do this?

It is not impossible to do so.

I want to disappear from Gong Ou's life little by little. Shi Xiaonian said lightly.

Feng De frowned, and said, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. The young master suffers from paranoid personality disorder, and he only has feelings for Miss Xi, how could he disappear.

We have been separated for more than half a year, and he has adapted to it. This proves that even if he is paranoid, he can slowly adapt to me disappearing. So, I believe that in a short time, I will be with him slowly. Become an unimportant memory. Shi Xiaonian said.

In this way, whether she is alive or dead, sad or happy, Gong Ou will not be moved by her again.

...

Feng De looked at Shi Xiaonian in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while.

He believed that Shi Xiaonian did this for the young master's benefit, otherwise he would not have reminded him of this.

Feng Steward, please help me.

Shi Xiaonian bowed deeply to Feng De, begging him sincerely.

Miss Xi, what are you doing? Feng De quickly helped her up, looking at her with distressed eyes, Don't worry, since it's for the young master's benefit, I will definitely do it.

Thank you, Housekeeper Feng.

I'm the young master's housekeeper, and I'm just doing what's good for the young master. I'm obliged, but you, Miss Xi... Feng De said with a sigh, You have suffered too much in the past half a year. Well, I hope you are doing well in the future.

Shi Xiaonian forced a smile and bid farewell to Feng De.

She has done everything she can for Gong Ou, and from now on, no matter what disasters or disasters happen to her, she will bear it by herself.

When Xiaonian turned around, she saw Xu Bingxin pushing the baby standing there in the distance, followed by the maid and baby care expert, Xu Bingxin looked at her, his usual gentle face was full of indifference.

When she was with Feng De, it was tantamount to telling Xu Bingxin that she was with Gong Ou just now.

Seeing her looking over, Xu Bing turned around with a cold face and left without saying a word.

Shi Xiaonian hurriedly chased after him.

...

Feng De stood where he was, looking at Shi Xiaonian's back, her figure was too thin, so thin that it made people feel sad.

In the final analysis, Shi Xiaonian lost a lot in this relationship. She became an unmarried mother at a young age and only got one daughter. After being harmed by the Gong family to such an extent, she had to erase herself from the young master's life.

Everyone wants to get it, but what did she get after spending so much.

Feng De sighed, shook his head, turned around and walked inside.

In the restaurant, the delicious food on the whole table is still exuding aroma. The richness of bone broth and the fragrance of vegetables are intertwined to compose a symphony of taste.

Two chopsticks fell on the ground.

Gong Ou sat there alone, picked up a pair of chopsticks that Shi Xiaonian had put down, picked up a piece of tomato and put it into his mouth, chewing with some stiff movements, the sweet and sour taste melted in his mouth.
