Under Gong Shu's urging, Ye Hen picked up the tableware again and ate indifferently. Gong Xueleo looked at the things in front of him, then looked at Ye Hen's indifferent expression, endured the grievance in his heart, and wanted to stand up and turn around to leave.
Just as he was about to stand up, he was stopped by the stern look from Professor Gong.
Gong Xuerong had no choice but to bite her lip and sit down reluctantly. She picked up the tableware but didn't move it for a long time.
Professor Gong saw her sitting down and continued to eat in an orderly manner.
Gong Xuexiao couldn't help but look at Yehen. The handsome face from the side was extremely beautiful, and the thin lips slightly chewing the food were still so sexy and charming even when they were eating.
Even if she didn't want his answer just now, every time she saw him focusing on something, for some reason, the anger in her heart would slowly disappear.
But thinking about what Ye Hen said just now, Gong Xuerong still felt very uncomfortable.
She didn't understand what Ye Hen's words meant.
Is it really because I have something going on recently and I don’t have time to think about it, or is it just coping?
Doesn't he want to marry her?
Thinking of this, Gong Xuerong sat there with a look of despair on his face.
After a while, Ye Hen stood up and said calmly to Gong Shu,
"It's time for me to go back. There are still things waiting for me to deal with. Thank you for your invitation."
The palace professor stood up to express his farewell,
"Why are you so polite to me? Aren't we a family?"
Seeing that his father was about to send Ye Hen away, Gong Xuerong, who didn't want him to leave so early, had to stand up from the chair reluctantly and slowly followed Ye Hen to the door.
Watching Yehen go out, those big eyes filled with resentment were full of reluctance.
"Dad, you just..."
As soon as Yehen left, Gong Xuelei could no longer hold back her dissatisfaction. She walked to the sofa and said to Professor Gong angrily.
"You will never get rid of this problem!"
Professor Gong lit a cigar, looked at Gong Xuexiao and scolded him seriously.
"But, just now you clearly wanted Hen to get engaged to me, why did you just say one sentence and stop saying it?"
Thinking of how Gong Shuo had said nothing after Ye Hen's rejection just now, the more Gong Xueleng thought about it, the more unbearable he felt.
She carefully planned this time to let Zhong Muyan follow Lan Rou and beg her father to come back, just to settle her marriage with Ye Hen.
But thinking of Ye Hen's attitude, she felt uneasy in her heart
Why now, Hen still doesn’t say anything about marrying her?
Does he have another woman?
Gong Xuerong sat on the sofa, with doubt on his face.
My mind was carefully searching for the news about Ye Hen that had recently come from my subordinates.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I didn’t seem to see any news about Yehen being with another woman.
Professor Gong gently flicked the ash from his cigar, glanced at Gong Xuekong, and saw the puzzled look on her face.
He spoke slowly and said,
"Don't think too much. Don't worry, I will definitely host an engagement party for you before I return to the United States."
After hearing these words, Gong Xuexiao opened his eyes wide and looked at Professor Gong with a determined look on his face.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Professor Gong didn't answer, turned around and walked upstairs.
Gong Xuerong sat on the sofa without standing up. There was confusion on his face, but the disappointment in his heart gradually disappeared.
