Chapter 1481: Miss An Is Back From Overseas
“Qiao Mianmian.” Gong Zeli looked at the girl in the painting and sighed. He reached out and caressed her exquisite and beautiful face. “What should I do with you? I can’t bear to give up on you, but I’ve lost the right to have you now. You’re very happy with him, and he has the ability to give you happiness. Even if I don’t care about anything and snatch you back, how can I defeat him?
“I’ve always been conceited, but if my opponent is him…
“So, should I give up on you?”
He muttered to himself as he looked at the girl in the painting. Although he said that he was giving up, his eyes were filled with unwillingness. “But I’m really unwilling to give up just like that. I don’t even have a chance to fight for it, and you’re already someone else’s. Isn’t God a little cruel to me?
“If I’m destined to never have you, why would I be attracted to you?”
Gong Zeli never thought that he would be trapped by love one day.
He couldn’t ask for anything.
It turned out that not being able to ask for it was so painful.
Even if he wanted to do something for her, he had to do it differently, afraid that she would find out.
Because once she found out, she would definitely reject it.
Hence, he didn’t give her the Palace Style endorsement this time. Instead, he informed a friend and changed it to a company that wouldn’t arouse her suspicion.
Even so, he was still afraid that she would guess it.
Hence, they didn’t dare to give her the endorsement of a first-tier product. Instead, they especially got someone to give her a second-tier skincare product.
As expected, she didn’t suspect anything and happily signed the contract.
Gong Zeli didn’t even dare to pay her too much. He was afraid that she would be suspicious, so he gave it to her at the market price.
Although Qiao Mianmian had signed this endorsement, Gong Zeli felt that he hadn’t given her enough.
He wanted to treat her well.
He wanted to give her everything he had.
But he knew that he couldn’t be too anxious, or he would only scare her.
Hence, no matter how anxious he was, he could only bear with it.
“Young Master.”
Someone knocked on the door and stood outside.
Gong Zeli looked at the person knocking on the door and narrowed his eyes. He closed the drawing board and turned around. “What is it?”
The person at the door lowered her head and said respectfully, “Madam said that Miss An has returned from overseas. She set a welcome banquet for Miss An tonight and asked the Young Master to come home for dinner.”
“Miss An?” Gong Zeli frowned. He obviously didn’t know who she was.
The person outside could tell that he was puzzled. She explained, “It’s Miss An Ya—Young Master’s second uncle’s only daughter. Young Master, don’t you remember? Miss An Ya stayed in the Gong family for half a year. Back then, she always liked to follow Young Master. Young Master, you gave her a nickname. You called her Pest.”
Gong Zeli slowly recalled.
He had such a cousin.
But the two of them didn’t meet often. Besides the six months they spent together, they rarely saw each other.
Gong Zeli was indifferent.
He had always been indifferent towards his parents.
Not to mention his cousins.
He had no feelings for this cousin.
But he still nodded. “Mm, I’ll go back tonight.”
