When the two of them were about to leave, Xin Xin deliberately put down her half-washed bowl and chopsticks and sent them to the door.

Pei Luoyi looked at her ambiguous gaze and the malicious smile on her face and raised her eyebrows to send a warning: "Don't let your imagination run wild!"

He then followed the man downstairs.

It wasn't Shen Wu who was driving, it was Townsend.

Pei Luoyi discovered that although the two of them worked under the command of a man, they still maintained a clear sense of privacy. For instance, since it was already after work, the people who came to pick them up were instead the two who were leaning against the door.

Compared to Shen Cui's courteous and polite attitude, Pei Luoyi did not have a good impression of this tall and big man. Perhaps it was because he had carried her away several times before, but she had already felt a little scared.

Townsend opened the rear door for them and waited for them to get in before going around to the front seat and driving.

Ever since he had come out of his bedroom, Gong Yan hadn't spoken another word. He didn't say a word, and when he got in the car, he just leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed.

Pei Luoyi fastened her seatbelt and turned to look at him. After some hesitation, she asked, "Let's go back …" Is there something wrong? "

Even though she had asked him on the phone, she couldn't help asking again.

Although she also noticed that the man didn't seem to want to say much … But she had a right to know, didn't she? Since he brought her along, then was there something he needed her to participate in?

Gong Yan opened his eyes, his indifferent gaze stayed on her face for a moment, then slowly closed them again.

"I'll take you to someone." He gave the answer in a slow voice.

Meet someone?

Pei Luo Yi opened her mouth and was about to ask when she saw that the man was resting with his eyes closed. It seemed as though he didn't want to elaborate any further.

She thought that since she would be able to see him later on, there wouldn't be much difference if she didn't ask him about it. Thus, she swallowed her doubts.

The interior of the carriage quieted down.

Pei Luoyi was bored to death and lifted her chin to look out the window at the scenery. When she felt the phone vibrate in her bag, she took it out.

There was an unread WeChat message on the screen. She clicked on it.

[I take back the words I said when I was eating, you sure struck it rich!]

Pei Luoyi couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

When she sensed a warm gaze from her left, she turned her head and met the calm gaze of the man. The smile on her face didn't even have time to change before it stiffened.

"Sorry." Her smile faded as she looked at the man and quietly apologized.

Then he turned his attention back to his phone and typed a few words.

[Yan Doggie is shameless.]

He clicked send.

The corner of his lips could not help but slightly rise.

During dinner, Xin Yi remembered the news about the marriage between Gong Yan and the Su Clan a few days ago. Naturally, she grabbed Pei Luoyi and pressed her a few more questions.

Pei Luoyi had told her seventy to eighty percent of the truth, but aside from those things that she didn't want to know, the woman had already accepted them half believing and half doubting.

"Tsk, I said you're really wronged to have married him. It's fine if others know about it, but you still have to helplessly watch him organise the wedding with someone else. What lousy agreement do you have with him? It's simply a one-sided suppression of your overlord clause."

Pei Luoyi shrugged and said, "It's not like I love him, why should I feel wronged? If he really did marry someone else, I might have been relieved."

He said all of these in one go, and only after he finished saying it did he feel somewhat depressed.

Her cell phone vibrated again as she picked it up.

[Beautiful women and delicious food are not to be let down, do you understand?]

Pei Luoyi pursed her lips, suppressing the corner of her lips that could not help but rise.

On the other side, Gong Yan quietly watched the girl's smiling side, his dark and deep eyes becoming increasingly dark.

Townsend drove steadily but not slowly, arriving about twenty minutes early.

This made Pei Luoyi feel as if the man was in a hurry.

When she walked into the living room, she was surprised to see a man she had only met once sitting in the living room.

"Dr. Chi?"

Hearing this, Chi Yufeng raised his head from the cell phone's screen and met Pei Luoyi's surprised gaze. He smiled and said, "Miss Pei, we meet again."

Pei Luoyi nodded hesitantly before replying with a faint smile, "Hello."

Then, she turned around and looked at Gong Yan who had followed him into the living room. Her delicate eyebrows were slightly knitted in confusion and she lowered her voice as she asked, "You brought me here … Just to see him? "

Gong Yan glanced at the man sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and his head lowered as he played with his phone, then turned towards the stairs.

"Follow me."

Pei Luoyi did not understand what was going on, but the puzzlement on her face only deepened.

Wasn't it to see him?

In the end, she didn't ask any more questions and just followed the man's footsteps upstairs.

They walked down the long corridor, one in front of the other, their footsteps lost in the paving of the high-end carpet beneath their feet.

He walked all the way until he reached a door.

The man in front of her stopped, while Pei Luoyi followed suit.

"What's wrong?" asked Pei Luoyi as she looked at the man's back, which had remained motionless for a few seconds.

She actually recognized this place. This was the man's study, but she didn't understand why there was no response when the man walked here.

The person she wanted to meet … In here?

The peaceful state of mind they had experienced along the way suddenly began to tense up due to this quiet and creepy atmosphere.

Gong Yan turned around and stared down at the woman's clean and pale face with an absolute height advantage.

She suddenly realized that she could not use any words to describe the complicated emotions in his eyes.

Hesitation?

Resistance?

Reluctance?

Or … Restraint?

It was too complicated, like lines of different emotions intertwined together, unable to be separated.

Pei Luoyi's breathing was unstable as she looked at the man's increasingly dignified and solemn face. Her fingers subconsciously gripped her bag tightly as she said, "You …" "What's wrong?"

Finally, after about a minute, the reserved expression on the man's face gradually faded and returned to its usual coldness.

"Go in."

He turned, pressed the knob, and pushed open the door into the room.

Pei Luoyi pursed her lips and followed him in.

There was an unfamiliar man standing in front of the French window behind the desk. When he turned around, she noticed that he was a foreigner.

"This is Dr. Harris, a senior professor of psychology. I've asked him to come here this time to try a hypnotic method to see if it will remind you of what happened in the car accident."

The man said plainly.

Pei Luoyi's gaze slowly shifted from the middle-aged professor to the man's indifferent face, and she stared blankly into his eyes.

Her throat was choked, her red lips slightly parted, but she was unable to say a single word.

It was hard to explain why his heart felt like it had been blocked by something. It felt stuffy and heavy, as if it was hard to breathe.

The man's bloodless face was reflected in the man's eyes. With a glance, he lowered his eyes to look at the watch on his wrist. His voice was calm and without any fluctuations as he continued, "Dr. Harris, your time is limited. You must cooperate well."

Finished speaking, the slender and handsome figure turned around and left.
