My Boss, the White-haired Nun

"Ah? No. It's not like what my sister thinks." Xi'er took out a round beach ball from the trunk, and heard that a small head shot out from that direction towards Ji.

"Actually, there are still people here usually, but there are no people here today."

"What do you mean?" Ji Zi was taken aback.

"It means that this beach is our own property, and it will not be open to the public within two months from now." Gong Ming, who had changed into swimming trunks and a beach cap at some point, came out from the side, But inexplicably, when he said such words, there was no ostentatious smile on his face, and he was so calm that it could almost be said to be indifferent.

"Not...wait?? Our own property? When did you get so rich?" Ji Zi looked at him almost dumbfounded, and he could almost be described as astonished when he spoke.

"..."

Gong Ming glanced at her in silence, with a complicated expression.

"...Did I say something wrong?" Looking at Gong Ming's face, Ji Zi hesitated for a moment, blinked, and asked tentatively.

"No... well, it's actually a thing of the past." Gong Ming was silent for a while and shook his head. "All the trade organizations of the Mandate of Heaven belong to the Shaniat Group, you know? They are responsible for all the trade activities of the Mandate of Heaven, and are responsible for providing funds for all the expenses of the Mandate of Heaven. Its total volume is the largest financial organization in the world, even surpassing that of the United States after World War II. initiated by the World Bank."

"I know, the family of the [Saint] among the three major families of Destiny..." Ji Zi nodded cautiously and said, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly understood why Gong Ming had such a reaction.

"The last person named Shaniat in this world died twenty years ago." Gong Ming said flatly.

"According to normal laws, its property should be inherited by its direct heir, Kiyana Kaslana—but there are also regulations within the Mandate of Heaven. Unless the family is exterminated, the property of the three major families cannot be inherited from each other."

"..." Ji Zi didn't dare to speak.

"I know I just said that the last member of the Shaniat family in this world is dead." However, Gong Ming did not stop, but continued.

"But since I'm still alive, it's very difficult for this family to meet the standard of extermination... So after several twists and turns, the property was finally handed over to me."

"Sorry..." Ji Zi, who knew she had said something wrong, was silent for a while, and whispered next to Gong Ming.

"It's okay, I've said it all, it's a thing of the past." Gong Ming shook his head.

"Time will dilute everything. Twenty years later, I still don't have the courage to face this matter, but I think there will always be two hundred years later. I will have other sons and daughters in the future, and I will Tell them the story of Cecilia. I may not be able to forget this in my life, but one day I will be able to come out of that shadow."

"So you don't have to go it alone." He smiled reluctantly at Ji Zi.

"I'm strong, don't you know that?"

"..."

There is no moment when Ji Zi understands the meaning of Xier's sentence "If we want to pamper him" better than this moment.

"So you have been very resistant to things related to the Second Herrscher, is that also because of this?" Ji Zi hugged this man for the first time after being among this group of people for a month and a half.Said in a low voice to him.

"I dare not say that there is no reason for this, but it is indeed only one of the factors." Gong Ming shook his head and said.

"My relationship with Sirin... is very complicated. It is indeed difficult for me to maintain a calm state of mind when it comes to things related to her."

However, just as he stretched out his hand to protect Ji Zi, the red-haired woman suddenly stepped back, raised her eyebrows at him, and showed a deliberate smile.

"It's okay. Anyway, you don't need to go to the battlefield in the future. You don't need to face her. Leave this kind of thing to us. After being sheltered by you for so long, it's our turn to help you shelter from the wind." It's raining."

It was the first time she uttered such words.It was completely contrary to her original intention.

Gong Ming looked at Ji Zi who was inexplicably excited like a child, and smiled at her.He didn't tell her that besides not wanting them to be hurt by Xilin, he also didn't really want them to hurt Xilin.

He knew that it was impossible to eliminate this kind of dispute, so he chose to remain silent.He used to stand unswervingly on the human side on such issues.But now he doesn't deny that he's starting to hesitate - but fortunately, as Ji Zi said.Now there is no need for him to lead the trend and make decisions.He who has lost his power is now just a spectator.

At the moment, he just thinks that Ji Zi, who is obviously a very mature adult but still pretends to be a little girl for him, is cute and beautiful.So he smiled subconsciously, stretched out his fingers and pinched her face.

"Well, then the next thing will be left to you."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Hey hey...Mr. Gong Ming~ help me sign the test paper?"

"Gong Ming, I'm hungry, dinner, dinner!"

"Grandpa~ I've run out of pocket money...can you?"

"Grandpa, I want to eat the barbecue outside the school."

"Father..."

In a blurred environment, the scene is constantly changing.It's like going back in time, repeating the past again and again.However, no matter how the scene changes, in that scene there will always be that man smiling at her tenderly, and the bright sunshine that seems to fill the whole space.

She also smiled at him again and again, bright and true, as if everything was the happiest.

However, this space suddenly shattered, and black cracks appeared in the void.When Qiyana, who was laughing with that man in the kitchen, watched the cracks appear in the space, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.The movement of his hands also stopped, and he watched the cracks continue to spread with a blank expression, and then the man and the whole space were disintegrated into countless fragments, revealing the [truth] below.

In a dark and empty space, a white-haired girl curled up in it with the glistening white light lingering around her body, floating quietly and silently.Until someone behind him came to interfere and shattered the space.She opened her eyes and straightened up.

"What are you here for?"

Turning her back to the person behind her, Qiyana slightly moved her shoulders and transformed herself into a familiar field outfit Bailian's uniform in this environment, and said indifferently.

"Isn't your body already given to you? Why are you looking for me?"

"I just want to see what you're doing." Sirin walked out from the void behind her.The white-haired, golden-eyed girl walked behind her barefoot in a blue and white dress.The words were full of sarcasm.

"If you let that fellow Nicholas know that the granddaughter he has given high hopes to is just a waste immersed in illusion, I don't know if he will regret pouring so much care and expectation into you."

"That doesn't matter." Kiyana turned to look at Sirin, and said indifferently. "He's dead anyway. Would making that assumption bring him back to life?"

"I just think it's very ironic." Sirin raised her hand, and several bubbles shining with psychedelic brilliance appeared on her fingertips, all of which reflected the dream that Qiyana had immersed in before.

"Look at these dreams, how much do you want to create the illusion of grandpa and grandson being kind and filial to yourself? In this way, you can trick yourself into pretending that you have never had any greed for that man?"
