Seeing that foreign face again, Pei Luoyi was undoubtedly surprised.

She was frozen on the stairs, her knuckles clenched on the wooden handrail. She could not help but reveal a surprised expression.

There was also an almost imperceptible sense of disappointment hidden underneath this emotion.

Thoughts flooded into her mind, even though she told herself it wasn't necessarily what she was thinking.

However, that preconceived idea took up her ability to think. Her brain felt like it was coiled around by gears, stubbornly turning towards a specific direction.

She suddenly realized that she could not face this kind of situation. What if … What if it was really what she had guessed?

She could forgive him once, but that didn't mean that every time he forced her to do these tests in a car accident, she would be relieved.

Repeat... Was it that as long as she did not recall it, there would still be countless hypnosis waiting for her?

Pei Luoyi stared blankly at the stairs for no more than three seconds. After a long period of thought, she lifted up her left foot and turned around to walk back.

Escaping was shameful, but it worked now.

Gong Yan was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When he saw her walking back, his expression turned tense. He got up and walked towards the stairs.

Two figures disappeared around the corner of the stairs, leaving the other two men in the living room looking at each other in dismay.

Chi Yufeng held a teacup in his hand and looked in the direction of the stairs. He sneered and brought the cup to his lips. He blew on it and took a sip.

These two people... This was getting more and more interesting.

Even though Gong Yan chased after her with two steps, he still managed to grab onto the woman's wrist just as she was about to push open the door and enter the room.

"Pei Luoyi."

"Don't touch me."

Pei Luoyi did not even turn around to look. Her voice was so calm that it was hard to tell her mood. She held the door handle with one hand and was about to enter the room.

The man wouldn't let him.

Gong Yan held onto her slender wrist, and her strength started to rise uncontrollably. Her expression turned serious as she said, "It's not what you think, just listen to what I have to say."

Unable to break free from his grasp, Pei Luoyi took a deep breath and turned around. Her eyes were cold as she patiently asked, "Speak?" What else do you want to say? Wasn't it the same as last time? You didn't tell me anything, and asked me to come here to accept everything you've arranged. I don't even have the time to know beforehand and prepare my heart for it. "

At this point, her tone was light and she did not seem to blame him. One could hear that she was feeling wronged and disappointed.

"Gong Yan, as matters stand, I don't mind if you ask me to cooperate in any sort of examination. I also hope that you can find out the truth about that year, but at the very least, can you discuss it with me a bit more, even if you have to inform me in advance, rather than making me look so anxious now?"

She suddenly laughed bitterly. "I still remember what you said at the entrance of the apartment. Now that I think about it …" Have you really tried to believe me? Or … "It's just a joke?"

The man's pupils contracted.

It was probably because when she said these words, she tried so hard to remain calm and collected, but she could still see that she was very sad.

Last hypnosis, he admitted, there was a big mistake in his handling.

He shouldn't have taken it for granted that she had the obligation to cooperate with this examination, or even — without prior notice.

Perhaps there were other emotions mixed within, but until now, there was no longer a need for further investigation.

A mistake was a mistake. He made her sad.

This fact was like a piece of crushed stone wrapped in an unknown emotion that seeped into his heart. It melted from his heart and gradually spread to his entire chest, filling him with soreness and swelling.

Pei Luoyi stared at the man. From the slight change in his expression, she could see that there was still a trace of guilt on his face.

However, he did not say it out loud. His lips were so thin that it seemed like a straight line.

Pei Luoyi didn't expect to hear anything from his mouth. She lowered her head and smiled before reaching out her hand to tug on his finger.
