Pei Loyi's movements froze for a moment as he stared into the man's dark eyes.

The two pairs of eyes met for a few seconds.

Pei Luoyi still pushed away her chair and stood up.

The man's gaze suddenly became even colder, and his gloomy face seemed to drip water.

"Pei Luoyi."

His voice was very heavy. He had only called out her name, yet the waiter by her side inexplicably shivered. This cold aura that seemed to come from hell … It was as if if if a woman dared to take another step, he would do something that would shock the world.

Pei Luoyi steadied his legs and did not move.

This was not the first time she had seen his fiendish look. She was afraid, but the more times he appeared, the more she would get used to it. Therefore, she didn't feel any fear at all.

Furthermore, there was an outsider present. There was no way he would use violence against her, right?

However, if he was unhappy, the consequences would be quite serious. For example, if he was unable to vent his anger now, he would definitely make up for it later.

Pei Luoyi lowered her eyes and scoffed. She lifted her hand to brush away the black hair by her ear and spoke lazily, "Let's be frank. Head of the Palace, Eldest Young Master Gong, if I were to insist on leaving …" What are you going to do with me after this? "

With a gentle smile, she said, "It shouldn't be that I don't want to accompany you to have a meal, yet you want to use a large number of people to threaten my dad's lousy company, right?"

Gong Yan looked at her faint smile, and the hostility in his eyes faded a little. "You think I can't do that?"

Pei Luoyi shook her head, "It's not that you can't do it, but that you won't do such a worthless business."

His tone was firm.

As a businessman, benefits came first. For a meal, it was a childish thing that only children would do. It was not suitable for this young master who had just emerged from the shopping mall.

Gong Yan looked at her in silence for a long time. Then, he turned around and handed the card to the waiter and instructed, "Go to the Guest Intoxication Pavilion to buy a table of dishes. Tell them my name. They know the menu."

The waiter tremblingly accepted the card, "Alright, Mister Gong."

Guest... Drunken Xuan? The name is a little familiar or... Familiar?

Pei Luoyi unconsciously took a deep breath and was deep in thought. Then, she heard the man in front of her speak again.

"Now, before I finish eating, you are not allowed to go anywhere else. Otherwise, I will do as you say and let you see whether or not I will do this loss-making business."

Pei Luoyi abruptly raised his head, his eyes wide open.

A second later, Xiao Yan's face was pulled back and he obediently returned to his chair.

Childish.

Childish!

Abnormal, crazy!

He secretly tried to think of all the words that he could think of... Like a deflated ball, Pei Luoyi drooped her head.

She sighed and folded her hands on the edge of the table. She rested her chin on it and raised her eyes to look at the glass of red wine in front of her.

While waiting for the dishes to arrive, Pei Luoyi was so bored that she didn't want to have any interactions with men. She could only poke at the cup and watch as the scarlet liquid rippled.

The man's face, which had just eased up a little, gradually darkened again.

Even a glass of wine was better than his?

Gong Yanying raised his eyebrows and made a gesture. A few seconds later, another waiter hurried over.

"Mister Gong, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Take these down."

"Alright."

Pei Luoyi's finger, which was poking at the wine cup, stopped in mid-air. The reason for that was because the wine cup had been taken away from her.

She had been thinking about something and had been distracted, so she didn't hear the man's orders just now.

After the wine cup was taken away, she looked at the waiter who was about to leave with the plate in her hands with a puzzled expression.

Being stared at by her, the waiter gave an awkward laugh, "I'm sorry, Miss. Mister Gong said he wants to remove these things."

Pei Luoyi woodenly nodded his head, indicating his understanding, "En, let's go."

The table was empty except for the white tablecloth. Coupled with the silent coldness that spread between the two of them, the atmosphere was even more desolate.

There was nothing for her to do, so she could only turn her head towards the window.

She lifted her chin with one hand and looked out the window.

It had to be said that although the meal was not a pleasant one, the place chosen was indeed not bad. It was probably the most luxurious restaurant in Cloud City, and the place she was now was also the perfect place to view the night scenery.

Thinking about how if it wasn't them that sat here tonight, if it was another pair of handsome men and beautiful women, this place, at this moment, this atmosphere … Tsk, this is the perfect time to build up our relationship.

And yet … They didn't even have any feelings for him.

What a pity.

Perhaps it was because they had given her enough money, or perhaps it was due to the pressure of her being a man, but the food arrived much faster than what she had expected.

Although it was take-out, it was almost the same style as the one he had at the restaurant that day. Even the plates were unique to that shop.

The dishes were the ones that she liked, but Pei Luoyi had no intention of using her chopsticks.

The man didn't seem displeased to see her eat, but he didn't show any displeasure. Under her indifferent gaze, he even raised his chopsticks and began to eat gracefully.

Except for the faint sound of the man's chopsticks touching the tableware, there was nothing else.

Five minutes later, she suddenly stood up and pushed her chair back with her legs, creating an ear-piercing sound as she rubbed against the floor.

The man stopped eating and looked up at her.

"I drank too much. I need to go to the bathroom." Pei Luoyi said with a straight face.

Gong Yan inaudibly twisted the space between his eyebrows.

Did she think he was blind, or did she think he was senile and had a poor memory?

"Too much? If I remember correctly, you only had two sips of red wine. "

Pei Luoyi shrugged her shoulders. She looked as if she didn't feel embarrassed even though she had been dismantled face to face. "Oh, that means I drank too much coffee at work. Anyway, I have to go to the washroom now. Do you still want to stop me?"

At the end, he raised his eyebrows.

The man's face was like the bottom of a pot.

Finally, he said, "Go, five minutes."

Pei Luoyi pursed her lips and turned to leave.

Gong Yan glanced at the woman's bag on the chair, then looked at her back as she walked away. Then he picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.

Pei Luoyi had taken many turns in her journey, and after that … Lost.

It could only be blamed on such a large floor, but there wasn't even a signboard.

Not only was there no sign, but even the waiter was nowhere to be seen.

Originally, she wasn't in a hurry to go to the washroom. It was just that she didn't have much to eat when it came to the delicacies in front of her.

Suffering.

Rather than just watching the man eat alone, she might as well go out and take a breather, so that she wouldn't have to feign ignorance in front of the man until her entire face turned stiff.

The wind had put him out of his way.

What should I do?

"What's the matter with you? He couldn't even do this kind of thing well! Miss Su, right? Great, young miss Su, if you make another mistake today, don't blame me for not giving you the chance. With such a noble body, you can go wherever you want.

"Sorry, sorry. Manager Lin, I won't make this kind of mistake again. Please give me another chance, I really need this job …"
