4416: The Other Side 385

The Other Side 385

There were too many regrets. As time advanced, he increasingly cherished the little episodes of happiness in life.1

There was a sense of relief that she was by his side. Even if he couldn't see her, it didn't matter.

It was inconvenient for Gong Shaoying to show too much concern, so he could only indirectly ask, "Does she like this place?"

"Does she find it easy to adapt here?"

"Sometimes the sea breeze is strong and the waves are strong. As a man, you have to protect your sister."

…

The man's 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.

"Why don't you ask her yourself?"

"Ask her?" He smiled helplessly. "She hates me so much. How can I possibly make an appearance in front of her? I've failed as a father. As her younger brother, don't let her suffer anymore, understand?"

"Father, there's no need to pass down orders like an army officer. If she doesn't forgive you, will you avoid her for the rest of your life?"

The older man was displeased at this. "In what ways am I avoiding her?"

"Otherwise, why haven't you met up with her since she's been here?"

Gong Shaoying replied somewhat angrily, "So what if I had met with her? At that time, she had been worried about Youyou, so I didn't dare to interrupt her. Besides, I'm the last person she wants to see. What if she left in a huff upon seeing me?"

"Is that why you're like a tortoise hiding in its shell, locking yourself in the study and looking at the family portrait by yourself?" His words were a little unpleasant to the ears.

Gong Shaoying was displeased. "There's something wrong with your tone today. What are you trying to do? Infuriate me?"

"I just came to tell you…" He bent over slightly and stared into his father's eyes. "If she wishes to see you, would you be willing to see her?"

Gong Shaoying was stunned when he heard that. "She… she wishes to see me?"

"Yeah."

Gong Shaoying was instantly nonchalant. "How is that possible?! Who are you fooling?! How could it be possible that she wishes to see me?"

"What's in it for me to lie to you?"

Gong Jie shrugged innocently. "Besides, she's downstairs. You'll know if I'm lying by going over to take a look. Or are you afraid to go?"

"I…" The man froze. He asked indirectly, "Why does she want to see me?!"

"You have to ask yourself. It's not appropriate for me to interfere in the matters between father and daughter!" With that, he raised his wrist to look at his watch. "She said she's willing to wait for you for 30 minutes. If you don't wish to see her, she'll leave. Father, do as you see fit."

With that, Gong Jie left.

Gong Shaoying glared at the young man's disappearing back view in anger. "This rascal has no sense of propriety!"

Following that, he found himself lacking confidence regarding Yun Shishi's wish to meet with him. He had no idea why she wanted to see him.

Could it be…

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 "unintentionally", switching cameras back and forth to search for her.
