Masnian didn't want to embarrass Ou Qianyi, or it was his pride in his heart, so instead of waiting for others to speak, he might as well say it himself first, which would make him look more respectable.
When Ou Qianyi heard this, her face changed slightly, and there was a trace of hesitation and confusion in her eyes.
She was supposed to be the one to say this, but now that Masnian took the initiative to say it, things changed a bit.
"Si Nian, I, didn't we agree? Or maybe what happened last night embarrassed you. Si Nian, feelings are a matter between the two of us. You don't have to care about my parents' attitudes."
Selfishly, Ou Qianyi didn't want to delay. She loved this man and wanted to accompany Masnian in a clear identity earlier.
Seeing the disappointment on Ou Qianyi's face, Masnian smiled lightly and said something.
"Qianyi, don't think too much. It's not your fault, it's me. Originally, I told you that I would stay in Luo City when I came back. But now the group has new arrangements. I may go to Nanyun City to take charge.
A project is a bit urgent, I have to go there in two days, so..."
This can be regarded as Mas Nian finding a way out for Ou Qianyi and giving himself a decent reason.
After Ou Qianyi heard this, her brows knitted together again.
Nanyun City, located in the southernmost tip, is a city with a relatively backward economy. However, she also learned that Yaoyuan Group has a large production base there, but she did not understand why Masnian was asked to go to such a remote place.
place, is it true that as her parents said, an adopted son will always be an adopted son?
Ou Qianyi had a flash of doubt in her heart and couldn't help but ask.
"Si Nian, didn't you say before that your parents wanted you to come back and take over the group? How..."
Hearing Ou Qianyi's question, Masnian's eyes dimmed. After all, people's hearts are still the most realistic. Seeing the flash of disappointment on Ou Qianyi's face, Masnian smiled lightly and said.
"Nanyun City is where I have lived since I was a child. It was there that I met my mother and she took me out of there. This time the company has a tourism project there, which I proposed on my own initiative. Over the years,
, I have never forgotten where I was born, and now, I want to do my part for the place where I grew up."
Speaking of this, Masnian paused for a moment. Since many things had been discussed, he also needed to let Ou Qianyi know his thoughts, and then continued.
"My ambition since childhood was not to become the heir to the group. I have my own arrangements. For me, everything I have now is a gift from God. I have never had too many extravagant expectations.
I won’t fight for things that don’t belong to me, do you understand?”
As soon as these words came out, Ou Qianyi was stunned. She was a little confused about the real meaning of Mas Nian's words. Was he hinting at something?
After Masnian said this, he looked relaxed. He didn't want Ou Qianyi to have too many expectations, because he had never thought of accepting the things his parents gave him.
"Okay, let's have breakfast. I'll be back in Los Angeles soon. If you think our relationship can continue, you might give me a call."
Mas Nian said such words out of the blue, Ou Qianyi looked surprised, looked up at Mas Nian and asked.
"Si Nian, what do you mean by this, what do you mean we can continue? Are you hinting at me to break up?"
Facing Ou Qianyi's excitement, Masnian remained extremely calm and said in a low voice.
"I just hope you can think clearly. If you are with me, in the future, you may not be the person you want in your heart. Do you understand?"
When Ou Qianyi heard this, she fell silent. She didn't know how to speak.
Yes, originally, she had an expectation in her heart, but now, will that identity still be hers? The Xiao family does not only have one child, Masnian.
When Masnian saw that Ou Qianyi didn't speak any more, he ate his breakfast quietly. He waited until Ou Qianyi put down the chopsticks in her hand, then stood up.
"Let's go, it's getting late. I have to go back. Please think carefully about what I said."
Ou Qianyi didn't speak, and followed Masnian silently until the two of them walked out of the restaurant. Masnian got in the car and left, while she still stood stupidly on the roadside.
What her parents said to her last night is still echoing in her ears, and what Masnian said just now is already hinting at her.
Here, after Masnian left, he set off back to Los Angeles, but before getting on the highway, he made a special detour from the university town. Although he did not enter the school, his car stopped at the school gate for a long time, as if
He was saying his final goodbyes to Xiao Yingxi.
In Luo City, Ma Nian went directly to the company after returning. Mo Yurou and Xiao Zichen were both in the office, seemingly waiting for him.
In the office, Mo Yurou and Xiao Zichen looked at Masnian who walked in with solemn expressions. The once gentle and well-behaved child has now grown into a towering tree, but his personality seems not as lovable as when he was a child.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."
After Masnian entered, he said hello calmly and sat down opposite Mo Yurou.
Mo Yurou looked down at a co-authored document on the coffee table and sighed softly.
"Si Nian, you have made your decision, haven't you?"
Masnian nodded without hesitation.
"Mom and Dad, I have thought very clearly that it is best for everyone if I leave."
"What's better, Si Nian, how many times have your parents told you that we will never object to you and Luoluo being together. I really don't know what you are thinking."
Mo Yurou was not as calm and calm as Xiao Zichen. Looking at the stubborn son in front of her, Mo Yurou really wanted to knock him awake with a stick.
Xiao Zichen on the side saw that his wife was a little excited and hurriedly stopped her.
"Okay, Yurou, don't get angry yet, let's listen to Si Nian himself."
Xiao Zichen gave the initiative to Masnian, but Masnian lowered his head in silence and remained silent. In the end, even Xiao Zichen lost his patience.
"Why don't you two worry about anything? Masnian, let me tell you, do you know that your current behavior is a coward's expression? I don't understand. What are you worried about? Do you care about outsiders?
Criticism, if it is because of this, your father and I will issue a statement immediately. From now on, you, Masnian, will no longer be the eldest son of Xiao, so you will have no ethical pressure."
"Mom, I..."
Masnian didn't expect his mother to be so angry. In his impression, his mother was always very gentle to their children.
At this time, Mo Yurou did not give Mas Nian a chance to speak. Just as Mas Nian was about to speak, Mo Yurou interrupted.
"Shut up, Masnian, don't talk nonsense to me about not liking Luo Luo. Your parents are not stupid. Why can't they see how you feel about Luo Luo? You and Luo Luo are not related by blood.
What does it have to do with changing from brother and sister to husband and wife? If outsiders really talk about it, it will only be temporary. Are you, a grown man, still afraid of this?"
It had been a long time since Xiao Zichen had seen his wife so angry that she was about to say swear words. He hurriedly grabbed Mo Yurou, then looked at Masnian and said.
"Si Nian, do you think you've made your mother so angry? Before you came, your mother and I had already discussed that when you leave Luo City, we will issue a statement and break away from the father-son relationship with you. At that time,
You stay in Nanyun City for two years. When the project is over and Luoluo is twenty-three, you will open your relationship to the outside world. Don't worry, people's memories are short now, although there will still be memories by then.
There are some public opinions, but those are just a matter of time. There is nothing morally wrong between you and Luoluo being together, do you understand?"
Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou had already arranged everything, and this arrangement was the best.
Now Xiao Yingxi is only 21. If she really wants to talk about marriage, she is indeed still young. It just so happens that this period of time should be used to cultivate the relationship between the young couple.
Xiao Zichen thought that their arrangement would shake Mas Nian, but who knew that Mas Nian directly rejected Xiao Zichen's proposal without even thinking about it.
"No, Dad, Mom, don't you want me as your son?"
"Silly boy, who said I don't want you anymore? Even if you and Luoluo are together in the future, you will still call us parents. From now on, your mother and I will point to you three to support us until we die. Si Nian, your parents are like this
I do it because I hope you can face up to the feelings in your heart."
It's rare for Xiao Zichen to be so considerate and meticulous. Who knows that the person sitting in front of him is his most valued son.
Masnian was silent. Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou thought he was thinking about this matter, but who knew that what Masnian said after Masnian fell silent disappointed them again.
"Dad, Mom, I've thought about it very clearly. I can't give Luo Luo the love he wants. Just think of me as weak. I'm afraid of this feeling."
"Afraid? Si Nian, why do you use this word?"
Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou were so surprised by Mas Nian's answer that they were a little confused.
