The old lady shook her head and sighed, then turned and left. Ning Chengxu felt very uncomfortable.
After Mavis left, he also moved back to the Ning family's old house. He moved there originally because he wanted to avoid her. Now that she has left, he should also go back.
The resting place was changed from the study to his own room, but Ning Chengxu always felt empty when sitting in the room.
It was a familiar place. He looked at the room and vaguely remembered the scene where they lived together when Mavis was still here.
She had tried her best to remove all traces of where she had been, even the wardrobe was tidy, but Ning Chengxu still felt that everything carried her scent.
It seems like he has never left.
There is always a time to wake up from a dream, but the reality is that every time I open my eyes, the person next to me is no longer there. There is no trace of her anywhere in the huge Ning family.
At night, Ning Chengxu fell asleep, but he always dreamed of Mavis.
In the dream, she asked herself painfully: "Why don't you believe me? Why did you choose Gu Wanwan instead of me?"
Ning Chengxu suddenly woke up.
Looking at everything in the dark night, he suddenly felt very strange.
...
When he went to the company the next day, documents came one after another. When Tian Yuan delivered the documents through the door again, he carefully observed Ning Chengxu's face.
After Ning Chengxu signed, he noticed his gaze and said coldly: "Is there something on my face?"
Tahara shook his head.
"No, Mr. Xu, you don't look very good these days. I hope you can pay attention to your health."
Ning Chengxu nodded slightly: "Yeah."
After saying that, he handed over the signed documents. Tahara took the documents, nodded and prepared to leave.
Ning Chengxu stopped him again.
"Wait a minute."
He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Today, the old lady is going to visit relatives. I will send someone to Ning's house later to move my things over. Don't mention it to anyone."
Tahara went to do it immediately.
Ning Chengxu was not used to the home without Mavis. It seemed that in just one year, Mavis had become an indispensable person in the Ning family.
Noon break.
Gu Wanwan came to Ning Chengxu for dinner as usual.
She has always been gentle and pleasant, always wearing a light smile.
As soon as he entered the door, he asked excitedly: "Brother Xu, what are we having for lunch today?"
After arriving, she realized that there was no food on the table. Ning Chengxu frowned and immersed himself in reading the documents, but he was clearly lost in thought. It took him a while to realize what he was doing and raised his head to look at her.
"It's noon already? What do you want to eat? I'll ask Tahara to bring it."
Gu Wanwan didn't respond, quietly walked around behind him, and gently squeezed his shoulders.
Ning Chengxu's shoulders stiffened, but he heard Gu Wanwan say to herself:
"Brother Xu, you have worked too hard. The company has been so busy recently? I am very worried about your health. Promise me to take care of yourself."
As soon as Gu Wanwan finished speaking, Ning Chengxu gently pushed her hand away.
In order to avoid embarrassment, he quietly stood up and went to get her a glass of water.
Looking at the man who stood up, Gu Wanwan noticed something strange, but she didn't say it clearly. She just stared at his back, trying to regain some sense of presence.
She went up to him, took the water glass, and smiled: "I can do this kind of trivial matter myself. Why does Brother Xu look so unhappy? Is there another problem in the company? But the insider has cleared the company, so there shouldn't be any problems.
..."
"I want to take a rest." Before she could finish speaking, Ning Chengxu interrupted her.
Gu Wanwan couldn't say anything else, so she could only "get the general idea" and go out first.
As soon as her front foot stepped out of the door, her back foot's expression changed.
Why is Ning Chengxu so cold to him?
Is it because of Mavis?
After being together for such a long time, Gu Wanwan had already truly fallen in love with Ning Chengxu. She even thought that if Ning Chengxu could always protect her, it would be a good choice for them to live like this.
