When he turned back, he saw the bed in a mess, and the woman squatting in front of the nightstand, rummaging through the closet.

"What are you looking for?"

He walked over and put some clothes on the bed. He pulled up the woman who was squatting on the floor.

Pei Luoyi was pulled to her feet. Her gaze was still wandering around, "Mobile phone, did you see my phone?"

Gong Yan looked at her and shook his head, "No, what do you need a phone for?"

"I forgot to ask for leave. I was supposed to be working in the afternoon, but I forgot about this matter …" Since there's no reason for me to work here, the Director will definitely deduct my salary. " Pei Luoyi scratched her head in vexation.

The main thing was that she didn't want to leave any bad impression. These days she had been out of work much more than the time she had spent in the art world.

Colleagues may not talk about anything, but doubts will.

She didn't want her personal affairs to affect the work process, but...

It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

As for her phone, if she calmed down and thought about it now, it would have dropped when the accident scene was pushed open. It was basically impossible for it to be with him …

Pei Luoyi started to suspect if there was something wrong with her brain.

It was truly a pity that it fell just like that.

Moreover, he had bought that phone for her not long ago. He didn't know if she would be able to find it when she went back to look for it.

She was thinking about the possibility of finding it when she heard a calm voice from the man above her.

"You don't need to look for it. I've helped you request a week's leave."

"What?" Pei Luoyi abruptly raised her head to look at the man, and her voice rose in pitch, "A week?"

Gong Yan nodded without changing his expression.

"One week?!" Pei Luoyi opened her mouth and trembled as she repeated herself.

Gong Yan looked at her face, which was full of tears, and asked happily, "Is there a problem?"

She realized he wasn't joking with her.

"Ah …" This is the end. "

Pei Luoyi pulled at her hair in distress, as if her entire body had collapsed.

She didn't appear for a whole week. If she jumped into the Yellow River, she probably wouldn't be able to wash herself clean … Although she couldn't explain why she'd disappeared from time to time for the past two months.

And … She had only hurt her knee, so how could she ask for a week's leave?

She thought about it and still felt that it was inappropriate. She looked at the man with a determined gaze and said, "No, I can't take a week off continuously. If this continues, then I might as well resign. However, I don't …"

Before he could finish, the man raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You want to resign?"

Pei Luoyi hesitated for a moment before replying, "No, I mean …"

"That's fine, I just happen to have this plan. Since you are now a proper lady, it's not appropriate for you to have such a low salary. If you want to resign, then so be it."

When the man's tone of voice, which was without the slightest hint of tightness, fell upon her ears, Pei Luoyi was slightly startled at first. However, soon after, an indescribable feeling of distress gushed forth from her heart.

The expression on her face immediately became dejected.

Gong Yan looked at her calming expression and asked, "You don't want to?"

After a moment's thought, he realized that she didn't enter the picture language for money. It was because she really liked that job that she chose to work there.

Although it was just a small crowd, they did it very happily.

He couldn't help but recall the details of her past.

Graduated from one of the top ten universities in the world, she studied fine arts but rarely painted her own works. She often traveled to other countries and saw famous paintings of different periods.

She admired the paintings, but she did not like to write them herself.

Thus, she chose to paint words that would satisfy her.

Pei Luoyi lowered her head and counted with her fingers, "I don't work …" Then what should I do? In my daily life, I have to spend money on every single one of them. I can't possibly stay at home and be a worm, can I? "

If it was before, she would have had to pay rent, which would have been a huge expense over the course of a month. Now that the man had bought the house, she had saved a portion of the rent, but even so, her small savings would not have been enough to last her for months.

"You think I can't support you?" The man said with a smile that wasn't a smile, but a hint of helplessness could be heard in his tone.

Pei Luoyi sighed and raised her head to look into the man's deep eyes, "Gong Yan, we're different."

She looked at him with a deeper look in her eyes and continued, "Perhaps, in your opinion, my salary and even my standard of living are not even a tenth of what you have, a hundredth of a percent. In fact, that is indeed the case."

"But, I feel that I am doing very well now. I am quite satisfied. You can say that I have been living in seclusion and have done nothing, but I …" "I just want to live like this. At least for now, I'm not ready to live like a lady."

She was clearly speaking the truth in her heart, but she couldn't say why she felt relieved and threw it aside after teasing him … Nervousness and guilt.

Pei Luoyi quietly watched as the expression on the man's face slowly changed.

Her heart skipped a beat. As expected, she shouldn't have said it out loud.

She said so much, and Gong Yan could only conclude with one sentence, "You don't want to spend my money?"

Pei Luoyi forced herself to smile and tried to act dumb. She felt that her words were very tactful, as she should have been able to avoid him. However, why did he still manage to grab hold of the core?

"You don't want to spend my money. You said it because you're not ready to be a wife yet, but whether it's a contract or a marriage certificate, you've already signed them. Now that you say you're not ready, do you really want me to wait for you to get used to it?"

These days, the atmosphere between the two of them had become much better. Now, it was as if they were once again at loggerheads.

Pei Luoyi stared at the man's cold and charming face and swallowed her saliva. Subconsciously, she retreated step by step, "He …." Actually not... It won't take long, and I'm just... I can't get into this role right now, you... "You should wait a little longer …"

"Wait?" The man's pitch-black eyes narrowed slightly as he exuded a dangerous aura.

With a "peng" sound, a small sound rang out. Pei Luoyi's leg hit the edge of the bed and her legs gave way, causing her to sit down.

The man leaned over and placed his long arms on either side of her, locking her in.

Pei Luoyi instinctively wanted to move away from that infinitely large face. However, her chin was caught off guard by the man's slender hand.

His strength was perfectly controlled. She didn't feel any pain, but she just couldn't break free.

The sound of his heartbeat pierced his ears like thunder.

"Palace..." "Gong Yan."

Seeing that her lips were about to fall off, Pei Luoyi quickly closed her eyes.

Beep, beep, beep.

A shower system beeped in the bathroom.

There was only a thin piece of paper between their lips.

Gong Yan stopped moving and his eyes flashed. Three seconds later, he stood up.

"The water in the bathtub is ready. Go take a bath."
