I just want to inherit the family property and don't want to fall in love

Human nature.

Ning Xi felt that she should understand him.

Ever since he was seized and kicked out of the Gu family, that proud man's self-esteem was torn to pieces, and he stepped hard into the dirt.

Those days when he was on the street, those days when he didn't have enough to eat, those days when he was ridiculed and insulted, and those days when he was stared at, he had a hard time.

Gu Tingjun was supposed to be a lofty and mighty king.

Today's night in Baiyu Town is dark and gloomy, as if boundless thick ink is heavily smeared on the sky, and there is not even a gleam of stars.

Just like Ning Xi's mood at the moment.

Standing in front of the window, looking at the boundless night, her heart was ups and downs.

In fact, even if she told Gu Tingjun that she was a girl now, there was no way for him to return home and regain power.

Even if she was pregnant with Gu Tingjun's baby right now and gave birth to an heir for him, otherwise, with the strange family rules of the Gu family, she still wouldn't recognize him.

However, Ning Xi is now 19 years old, how could she be a mother at this age?

At least psychologically she was not ready for this.

Giving birth to a child just to help Gu Tingjun regain his home is irresponsible to the child.

Ning Xi couldn't do it.

Sure enough, Fang Rouxuan was right, she was indeed selfish and did not deserve Gu Tingjun's love.

A low sigh fell from the window in the small courtyard downstairs, and no one noticed a tall and straight figure standing in the shadows under the pergola in the darkness.

The knife-like handsome face is complex, with his head slightly raised, staring at the beautiful figure at the window.

She must be very disappointed in herself.

When he didn't stand by her side for the first time in the morning, he must have hurt her deeply.

So she dropped the stick, dropped a sentence for him to choose, and locked herself in the room again.

What is the problem?
Even though he has worked so hard to follow in her footsteps, why does she still have so little confidence in him?

Perhaps it has something to do with her childhood experience. All along, what Ning Xi lacks the most is a sense of security.

Gu Tingjun thought that what he had done during this time had already made her understand his intentions, but as soon as other women appeared, he would be pushed away again.

What exactly does she want him to do to make her firm in their relationship?
Gu Tingjun has never been so troubled.

Bang bang bang!
There was a knock on the door, Ning Xi turned around and opened the door, and there was Qi Li standing at the door.

"Young master, the leader's phone number."

leader?Quan Lukun?
He called Qili to find me?
She took Qili's call in a daze, and when Ning Xi was still a little dazed, Qili had already turned and left.

"Hello." After closing the door, Ning Xi replied.

"What's the matter with you? Why haven't you answered the phone? I've called you more than ten times! I was so scared that I quickly contacted Qili!"

She only sent out one byte, and Quan Lukun began to criticize her endlessly.

It turned out that she was too preoccupied and completely ignored the phone ringing.

"Sorry, I really didn't hear that." Ning Xi said apologetically.

"Okay, you're fine." Knowing that Ning Xi was safe and sound, Quan Lukun felt relieved and said, "Xixi, I got some things, which may help you investigate your background."

"What is it?" Ning Xi's eyes lit up, she immediately became interested, and temporarily put the troubled things to the back of her mind.

"Auntie's diary."

Mu Qianxue gave it to her secretly. Although Mu Zhuyun left home in a hurry, her mother, Ning Xi's grandmother, still kept all her daughter's belongings.

After the old man passed away, these things were stored in the warehouse.

Originally, after hearing the news of Mu Zhuyun's death, these things should have been removed, but Mu Qianxue was too busy and didn't have time to take care of these nosy matters, so she delayed it.

This time when Quan Lukun came to find her, she took the opportunity to hand Mu Zhuyun's diary to him.

After all, he is one of Ning Xi's rare best friends who can return things to their original owners.

"Really? That's great!" Ning Xi was excited, she was finally able to restore her mother's past.

"Xiao Kunkun, where are you? I'll go find you!"

She can't wait, she can't wait to spread her wings and fly to Quan Lukun's side now.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Quan Lukun said speechlessly, "Look outside, it's midnight, okay?"

"Uh, sorry, I was too excited and forgot."

Ning Xi stroked her capable short hair, and laughed, but there was a bit of sadness in the laughter.

"Then when are you coming back?"

"Maybe I have to wait for two more days. I have to go to Jiangcheng to deal with some things."

Quan Lukun didn't say it directly, and Ning Xi didn't ask further questions, but when she heard the name of Jiangcheng, Ning Xi suddenly laughed happily.

"Great! I'll go to Jiangcheng to find you tomorrow!"

"Huh? Not at all! If you want to see it, I'll send someone to send it to you right now."

Quan Lukun couldn't help laughing, he knew Ning Xi would be so impatient.

This is no wonder, after all, it is a relic of my mother, and maybe I can find clues about my father from it.

"No, no, I'll go directly. I'm going to Jiangcheng in two days. If that's the case, it's better to go two days in advance."

Looking at the calendar on the wall, Ning Xi explained.

That's right, Jiangcheng is the city where she is about to hold a signing event, and it is also the location of the publishing house of the comic magazine "One Man Weekly".

Yue Wu's side is ready, waiting for Ning Xi to pass by.

Hearing that Ning Xi was going to Jiangcheng, Quan Lukun was very surprised: "What are you going to Jiangcheng for?"

"A signing event. How about it? Mr. Quan will also go to support the event."

"Then you must go!"

"Okay, then it's settled!"

After hanging up the phone, Ning Xi immediately booked a flight ticket from Haicheng to Jiangcheng.

Whether it was intentional or not, she didn't alarm anyone else at all.

Early the next morning, Ning Xi left a note to Gu Tingjun, saying that she would leave for a while and give him a chance to choose.

Putting on her peaked cap, she carried a simple luggage bag and went out.

I took a taxi and arrived at the airport. The flight from Haicheng to Jiangcheng had just started checking in, and the time was just right.

Standing at the security checkpoint, Ning Xi didn't know why, but her heart moved, and she subconsciously looked back.

There are strange faces coming and going all around, and there are no familiar people.

Feeling a little empty in her heart, she lowered her head and laughed at herself, feeling that she was really not free and easy.

Obviously the one who chose to leave was herself, but now she hoped that he would come forward to persuade her to stay.

Smiling and shaking her head, Ning Xi quickly passed the security check and boarded the plane.

She couldn't give herself a chance to hesitate and regret, because she was afraid that she would be reluctant to leave in the end.

More and more people registered, the cabin gradually filled up, and there were people sitting around, but Ning Xi's side was always empty.

Suddenly, a shadow enveloped her, and a low and hoarse voice exploded above her head.

"Excuse me, is there anyone sitting here?"
