4416 The Other Side 385
There were too many regrets. As time advanced, he increasingly cherished the little episodes of happiness in life.
There was a sense of relief that she was by his side. Even if he couldnât see her, it didnât matter.
It was inconvenient for Gong Shaoying to show too much concern, so he could only indirectly ask, âDoes she like this place?â
âDoes she find it easy to adapt here?â
âSometimes the sea breeze is strong and the waves are strong. As a man, you have to protect your sister.â
â¦
The manâs questions revealed how meticulous he was. Gong Jie felt the urge to cry.
He had never seen this side of Gong Shaoying. He was so carefully asking for information about her. He wanted to give her the best he could and wanted her to stay on the island a little longer. It was as though the tiniest detail that annoyed her would vex him. He was a devoted father who poured his heart out to give her the best.
âWhy donât you ask her yourself?â
âAsk her?â He smiled helplessly. âShe hates me so much. How can I possibly make an appearance in front of her? Iâve failed as a father. As her younger brother, donât let her suffer anymore, understand?â
âFather, thereâs no need to pass down orders like an army officer. If she doesnât forgive you, will you avoid her for the rest of your life?â
The older man was displeased at this. âIn what ways am I avoiding her?â
âOtherwise, why havenât you met up with her since sheâs been here?â
Gong Shaoying replied somewhat angrily, âSo what if I had met with her? At that time, she had been worried about Youyou, so I didnât dare to interrupt her. Besides, Iâm the last person she wants to see. What if she left in a huff upon seeing me?â
âIs that why youâre like a tortoise hiding in its shell, locking yourself in the study and looking at the family portrait by yourself?â His words were a little unpleasant to the ears.
Gong Shaoying was displeased. âThereâs something wrong with your tone today. What are you trying to do? Infuriate me?â
âI just came to tell youâ¦â He bent over slightly and stared into his fatherâs eyes. âIf she wishes to see you, would you be willing to see her?â
Gong Shaoying was stunned when he heard that. âShe⦠she wishes to see me?â
âYeah.â
Gong Shaoying was instantly nonchalant. âHow is that possible?! Who are you fooling?! How could it be possible that she wishes to see me?â
âWhatâs in it for me to lie to you?â
Gong Jie shrugged innocently. âBesides, sheâs downstairs. Youâll know if Iâm lying by going over to take a look. Or are you afraid to go?â
âIâ¦â The man froze. He asked indirectly, âWhy does she want to see me?!â
âYou have to ask yourself. Itâs not appropriate for me to interfere in the matters between father and daughter!â With that, he raised his wrist to look at his watch. âShe said sheâs willing to wait for you for 30 minutes. If you donât wish to see her, sheâll leave. Father, do as you see fit.â
With that, Gong Jie left.
Gong Shaoying glared at the young manâs disappearing back view in anger. âThis rascal has no sense of propriety!â
Following that, he found himself lacking confidence regarding Yun Shishiâs wish to meet with him. He had no idea why she wanted to see him.
Could it beâ¦
She had discovered that he sometimes secretly watched her through the surveillance cameras?
During this period of time, he had been making trips to the surveillance room âunintentionallyâ, switching cameras back and forth to search for her.
