C133

Pei Luoyi opened her eyes and saw that the man's face had returned to normal. She felt that the atmosphere had become extremely awkward.

"Oh."

With a blush on her face, she lowered her head and quickly ran past the man into the bathroom.

He slammed the door and pressed his back against it. He could even hear the sound of his heart pounding.

"What are you daydreaming about …" She patted her hot cheeks to stop the unsuitable plot from developing in her head.

The bathroom was bright and the tub was full of hot water. She slowly moved over and was about to undress.

"Knock."

Pei Luoyi turned around, fastened the undone buttons, and walked over to open the door.

Outside the door, Gong Yan handed the clothes he was holding to the woman, "The clothes."

Pei Luoyi's face was burning as she took the clothes from him, "Thank you."

With that, the door was closed again.

When she came out of the shower, the man was no longer in the room.

On the other hand, the French windows were wide open and the wind blew against them.

Pei Luoyi wiped her hair with a towel and walked over.

Outside the window was a large flower bed. Usually, there would be someone to take care of it. It was very clean, and the flowers and plants were lush and verdant. Under the cozy lighting, they complemented each other.

In the middle of the room, there was a set of dark coffee table sofas.

Pei Luoyi walked over to him. On the tea table, there was a bottle of red wine and a wine cup with a bit of red wine. However, the man was nowhere to be seen.

Pei Luoyi took off the towel and sat on the sofa.

The night wind was very cool. She was only wearing a silk nightgown. When the wind blew, all the pores on her body suddenly felt comfortable and relaxed.

His half-dried hair flapped in the wind.

She lay down on the sofa and rested her chin on the armrest, squinting at the night scene with its bright lights.

It had to be said that men enjoyed themselves a lot. They built their own residences wherever they could see the entire Cloud City. There was always one kind of residence … Oh, the feeling of dominating the world.

Pei Luoyi narrowed his eyes and blew on the night wind until he heard a familiar bell ringing at his feet.

The instant the bell rang, she immediately opened her eyes and looked towards the other end of the sofa.

It had been too dark for her to see the cell phone lying in the corner of the sofa.

Someone would call, and the screen would light up.

She reached up and picked it up. The white fuselage was scarred and the screen was broken, but it was definitely the phone she'd dropped at the scene of the accident.

The man had probably asked Townsend to help him get it back.

Pei Luoyi touched the broken screen, feeling some heartache. She wasn't sure if she could fix it.

As the cell phone rang, she turned her attention to the name on it.

Mom.

Familiar with these simple words, she forgot how long it had been since she last saw them. She was holding onto her mobile phone, looking at the word with a strange expression.

Seeing this caller ID display was undoubtedly complicated.

She ran her fingers over the screen for a moment, then pressed the answer button.

"Yiyi?" When the call connected, a woman's soft voice came from the other end.

Pei Luoyi hugged her knees as she sat on the sofa. Her gaze shifted to a distant place in the distance, "It's me. Mom, is something the matter?"

Luo Yun could feel the apathy coming from the other side of the phone. Her face, which was stained with the marks of time, was a little down. She couldn't help but tighten her knuckles when she held the phone.

"Nothing really. I just remembered that I haven't talked to you for a long time. Since I have the time, I called you."

She saw that the other side had suddenly become silent, so she continued, "Yiyi, you're not coming home …" Are you still blaming your parents for signing the contract? "

Pei Luoyi looked into the distance and saw nothing out of the ordinary. She calmly replied, "No, I've been a bit busy lately and haven't found the time to go back."

She answered very casually, very naturally, as if she really just couldn't spare the time to go back.

Blame them?

In fact, even she didn't know. Should she blame them?

Back then when she knew about this, she was indeed angry. But then she thought about it, if it wasn't for this agreement, she and Gong Yan wouldn't have reached this stage due to the huge difference in their statuses.

Luo Yun's thoughts were very meticulous. How could she not know whether it was real or fake?

Feeling pained, she didn't say anything and endured the urge to chuckle. "That's good …" "Why don't you find a time to come back for a meal? Mom wants Mom Li to cook your favorite food, and we haven't seen each other for a long time. Your dad was still talking about you a few days ago."

As he finished speaking, he nervously waited for the other side to answer.

Pei Luoyi didn't immediately agree. Her long eyelashes drooped for a moment before she replied, "Mom, is there something you want to tell me?"

She could probably guess what it was about.

Perhaps, when they agreed to marry her sister into the Jia family, many things could be seen through.

The corners of Pei Loyi's lips curled up in a self-deprecating smile.

After a short silence, a woman's gentle voice came from the other end, "I'll tell you about this when you come back, but Mom really wants you to come back for a meal, so we can have a nice chat."

Pei Luoyi remained silent for a while. It seemed like she would have to make a trip back home.

She sighed, "I know, I'll find a time."

"Alright, remember to make a call in advance. Mom is going to tell Mother Li to buy more dishes."

After saying a few more unimportant words, the call ended.

Pei Luoyi fiddled with her phone, feeling that the night breeze had suddenly turned colder.

For the next few minutes, the woman didn't even ask if she had been in a car accident, let alone if she was hurt, even if it was polite.

She had always been confused as to why she couldn't get close to her parents. They treated her well and even gave her more than her other parents, but emotionally, she couldn't feel the so-called blood relatives … Love.

Many times, she had experienced this feeling. It was as if they hadn't deliberately forgotten about it, but rather … He had never experienced such a state of mind.

Pei Luoyi hugged her shoulders as she sat down for a while. After a while, she couldn't take it anymore and decided to head back to her room.

Just as he turned around, his line of sight met a figure five steps away.

She was startled, for the tall figure was completely hidden in the darkness, except for the smudge of smoke from his lips.

Perhaps it was because he was familiar with them, but his body suppressed the fear in his heart.

Pei Luoyi rubbed her hands together with a frown on her face, "What are you standing there for?"

When did he come out? Could it be that he had been eavesdropping when she spoke on the phone?

Gong Yan walked out from the darkness. He had probably just taken a bath, with his short hair hanging in front of his forehead. He was wearing only a black bathrobe and a belt tied loosely around his waist.

As he walked, his long legs were faintly discernible from under the bathrobe.
