"Are you selling yourself or are you making a lot of money?" Xin Yi's mouth was stuffed full of watermelon. As she ate, she mumbled, "It seems like that Mr. Gong treats you pretty well. You might as well just give in to him."

Pei Luoyi shot a glance at her, her hands didn't stop moving. She poured the squeezed watermelon juice from the juicer onto the table and handed it over to her, saying coldly, "Why don't you ask him how he is? What if it's a greasy middle-aged uncle, and you want me to surrender to him? "

"Surely not?"

After throwing the watermelon peel into the trash can, Xin Xin took the watermelon juice from Pei Luoyi's hand. She narrowed her eyes and carefully recalled, "I remember which gossip magazine I read about him before. Didn't they say he was the most desirable face for a woman in the entire Cloud City?" "Although his legs are a bit regretful …"

Seemingly feeling that it was a taboo, the woman finished her sentence and became discouraged. She lowered her head and took a sip of the juice.

Pei Luoyi did not feel anything. She was well aware that she had never bumped into anyone before, so she did not feel guilty about it.

She shrugged and put the rest of the cut fruit in the juicer. "His leg's almost recovered, and it's not as bad as those people say."

Then, he turned around to look at the wall clock in the living room. It was already 5 PM, and it was almost time for dinner. He asked, "Let's not talk about this, I bought a lot of dishes yesterday. You should eat dinner here, right?"

"Eat here? Is it convenient? What if your Master Gong doesn't welcome me when he comes back? "

"He shouldn't be coming back for dinner. I think he's rather busy." Pei Luoyi was not sure.

Then he frowned, "Whatever, it's fine if he comes back. It's fine as long as he is one more person, but why are you so afraid of him? "I also have half of the ownership of this house. Alright, since I'm here, will he be able to kick you out?"

Pei Luoyi blurted out these words before realizing that she had not told Xin Xin about the marriage certificate. It was too obvious that the house was half her size.

Fortunately, the woman didn't seem to notice this. She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Come on, I don't know what you're thinking. If you want to eat, then just say so. No need to be so tactful."

Xin Yi had a mother who loved to cook for her family, so she was many times more skillful at reading recipes than Pei Luoyi. Basically, when she cooked in the apartment, she was the head chef.

Pei Luoyi somewhat guiltily pulled at her lips and absent-mindedly nodded her head. She then replied, "En …" "Then go to the living room for a while, I'll clean up the kitchen and you can come back later."

Xin Yi agreed, then carried the juice out of the kitchen.

After a while, she took out a bunch of cabbage from the fridge and was washing them when she heard a voice from the living room, "Yiyi, your call."

Pei Luoyi turned off the tap and no longer heard the sound of running water. The sound of her cell phone ringing became much clearer.

She looked into the sink and saw that there were still a few pieces of unfinished dishes. She turned around and shouted towards the living room, "My phone is in my bag, help me get it."

In the living room, Xin Xin replied and then came over in a few seconds.

Pei Luoyi placed the washed dishes on the chopping board and wiped off the water droplets on her hands. She then took the phone over and looked at the name displayed on the screen. Frowning, she then picked up the call.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?"

As soon as the phone was connected, the man's magnetic bass voice came from the other end.

Pei Luoyi's heart trembled violently as her cheeks began to heat up. She raised her hand to rub her face, but for some reason, she still replied, "In the apartment, what's wrong?"

The head paused for a moment, then the man's deep voice sounded again, "I'll come pick you up in about an hour, don't go out."

Pei Luoyi was even more puzzled, "Pick me up?" "Where to?"

She thought the man was going to take her out for dinner, so she added, "If you want me to go out for dinner, then no need. I'm eating at home with my friends."

In the end, the man replied directly, "To another village."

Go... Thousand Islands Manor?

Pei Luoyi was slightly startled and asked hesitantly, "Why …" You suddenly have to go back? "

From yesterday to today, he didn't show any intention of asking her to move to the Thousand Islands Manor. Moreover, it gave her the feeling that he would have to live in this cramped apartment for a period of time, so why did he suddenly have to return?

Pei Luoyi was undoubtedly unwilling. To her, this apartment was the foothold of her normal life, and the manor, which occupied the entire mountain, did not attract her the slightest bit even though it was so opulent.

However, the man didn't give her an answer. In the following period of time, she could only feel his light breathing through the receiver.

Just as she was about to speak again, the man lightly said, "I'll come pick you up in an hour."

Then he hung up.

When Pei Luoyi heard the beep coming from the phone, her phone fell to the floor. Looking at the screen which had already turned into a screen savor, her delicate eyebrows knitted together.

When she turned around, she was shocked to see Xin Yi behind her.

"Why are you standing here? "It gave me a fright." Pei Luoyi patted her chest. She thought that Xin Yi had given her a phone call and returned to the living room.

"Yiyi …"

Seeing the woman's hesitant expression, Pei Luoyi's frown deepened. She walked forward and met Xin Xin's gaze, which was filled with complicated emotions. "What's wrong?"

Xin Yi opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something but hesitating whether he should say it or not. After hesitating for a while, he could not hold it in anymore and decided to just ignore it. He picked up the thing in his hand and stared at the woman as he asked, "Is that true?"

Pei Luoyi looked at the object in her hand, and her pupils violently contracted.

"Is this certificate real?" You, You and Him... "Married?"

The item in Xin Yi's hand was none other than the red book that Pei Luoyi and Gong Yan had gone to find this morning.

Pei Luoyi pondered for a moment and knew what was going on. It was most likely due to her asking her to pick up the phone for her.

Years of friendship wouldn't make her angry over such a small matter, but at the moment, she couldn't come up with an excuse to reply.

Pei Luoyi's eyes were filled with emotions for a long time before she lowered her head, avoiding the woman's sight. She then bit her lower lip with her white teeth.

If he didn't say anything, it meant that he had tacitly agreed.

Xin Xin's hand powerlessly drooped down, her face had a defeated look, "It's true … Then why did you tell me earlier that it was just an agreement? Wasn't the matter still unclear? How did you get married to him? "

To a woman, marriage was undoubtedly a serious and solemn matter.

Perhaps she didn't care what other people chose to do, but as a friend of hers, she couldn't bear to see this woman marry into a pact, and not into a happy and sincere love.
