Chapter 3912: A Perfect Match (104)

“What’s this?”
“A dividing line!” Hua Jin said righteously. “We’ll each sleep on one side. No one crosses the line!”
He was like a primary school student drawing military demarcation lines, and in this case he had even drawn territory borders.
Without taking another look at Gong Jie, the actor wrapped himself in the blanket like a dumpling and lay down.
Gong Jie glanced at him and lay down, too. He looked through his cell phone for a little while. Throughout this vacation, he had been receiving mail on his phone. The affairs of the Hurricane Group had been handed over to him for a long time now.
Ever since Youyou returned to the Mu family, Gong Shaoying had disappeared. He was neither at the Hurricane headquarters nor the Gong family residence. He had not mentioned to anyone where he had gone, but only sent occasional emails to give some directions or instructions.
Neither father nor son took the lead in breaking the silence on the matter surrounding Yun Shishi and Youyou. Gong Jie didn’t know how to start addressing the matter and had mixed feelings. On the other hand, it was obvious that Gong Shaoying was deliberately avoiding it. After learning that Youyou and Lisa had returned safely to the Mu family, he did not ask further.
Clearly, he chose escapism.
Yun Shishi and Gong Jie had made a serious offer to negotiate with him.
It wasn’t so much a negotiation as a complete break between father and daughter. They wanted to sever the relationship cleanly.
Gong Shaoying also knew that Yun Shishi was clearly trying to break off their father-daughter relationship. Hence, as if trying to escape from this, he disappeared without a trace into thin air. If not for the occasional email or two, Gong Jie would have been worried that something bad had happened to him.
Since Gong Shaoying was not around, Gong Jie had the final say in the Gong family’s matters. Matters regarding Wirth had also been put on hold. And because of Youyou, Project Deva Eye had been shelved for a long time.
However, Gong was in no hurry to restart this plan. He was enjoying the peaceful days.
Previously, he’d been too busy with his affairs, too busy expanding Hurricane territory, too ambitious for his own good. But now, perhaps, Yun Shishi had given him a homely warmth that he couldn’t bear to leave behind. Therefore, whenever he had free time, he would come back to the country. She laughed at his lack of professionalism.
Lately, the Hurricane Group had not been exactly peaceful. No one knew where Gong Shaoyingwas. Distant branches of the family even thought that something had happened to him, but the Gong family had been hiding it. Therefore, they had been guessing that Gong Jie wanted to gain power and was deliberately hiding Gong Shaoying’s whereabouts and situation, slowly maneuvering himself into position.
But Gong Jie was dismissive about all these. Of course, he was not without ambition. Naturally, he had had thoughts about holding the headship position in the Gong family, but he disdained to use such despicable methods. In terms of strength and means, he was not inferior to anyone.
There wasn’t much mail in the mailbox, and the man felt sleepy. He put down the phone and was about to turn off the lights when a soft snore came from within the blanket beside him. He turned and looked at the mound. He could just make out the shape of the actor curled up and sleeping. The heater in the room was on, but still, he was wrapped in the blanket. Surprisingly, he didn’t feel the stuffiness.
Curious, Gong Jie lifted the covers just enough to see the actor’s sleeping face.
His brow was calm, his eyelashes made him look docile, and his red lips were pursed slightly. However, because he had stuffed himself under the blanket, he had broken out in a light sweat. Part of his hair was damp with sweat and lightly stuck to his forehead.
