Even though she was being stared at by him, she felt a chill run down her spine. "What's wrong?" Aren't you going to work? You woke up even later than yesterday. If you don't go out now, you'll probably be late. "

After saying this, she realized that she was trying to cover it up.

With his extraordinary insight, he guessed that even if she showed the slightest bit of abnormality, he would still be able to detect it.

"You have something to tell me?" When she had come out of the room, she had looked distracted, and he had noticed her.

Pei Luoyi met the man's burning gaze, and the smile on her face began to crack and fade away.

"What's wrong?"

When he saw her lower her head and wring her fingers in silence, Gong Yan approached her. He lifted her slender chin with his well-defined fingers and asked with a low but extremely gentle voice.

Pei Luoyi thought for a moment. Wherever she went, the servants would report to him. If he came back earlier that night, sooner or later he would reveal himself. At this point, she could only be honest with herself.

"Mm …" My mom just called me and asked me to go back in the evening... Dinner. "

Gong Yan's gaze, which was focused on her face, fluctuated, and his handsome forehead habitually frowned, "Go back? "The Pei household?"

"Yes." Pei Luoyi kept her head down the entire time and lightly nodded her head when she heard his voice. Her slender and well-proportioned fingers were stuck in front of her, and she was at a loss as to what to do.

It was impossible for her parents to simply ask her to go back and have dinner with them. He didn't need to think too much to know that.

He had not personally spoken about the agreement, only looked at the terms written by the lawyer. He had also instructed his subordinates to discuss everything else, but he had never met her parents before.

However, to be able to sell their daughter to a man they didn't understand at all for the sake of ten million dollars, it was obvious how thin the couple's feelings for each other were.

Although he was the one who offered this condition, the man had ignored it.

Almost without hesitation, Gong Yan quickly replied, "I'll accompany you there tonight."

As he said that, he took out his cellphone from his pocket. It seemed that he wanted to instruct her on something.

Pei Luoyi took the phone from his hand without thinking and held it tightly in her hand. Her face was full of nervousness, "Wait …" I can go back by myself, you don't have to specially accompany me there … It's just a meal, it's not like it's important. "

She looked at the man's increasingly deep black eyes and his tightly knitted eyebrows. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then added, "Moreover, don't you have a gathering at night? "Then it won't be troublesome …"

"Trouble?"

He suddenly felt that the temperature in his surroundings had dropped by several degrees. The pair of deep and cold eyes that they looked at each other seemed to have been frozen by ice.

Pei Luoyi quietly felt the power of the two words that the man had uttered in a moderate manner.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Pei Luoyi's fingers tightened around her mobile phone. This wasn't something worth arguing over, or at least, that was what she thought.

"I know you've been very busy lately," she said, pursing her lips, trying to sound calm. "In fact, my mom called me a few days ago and told me to go back and have a meal. Of course," she said.

She lifted her hand to pull back the hair that had slipped from her ear before continuing, "She had a reason for making me go back, so I can guess a little of her motives …" However, I believe that I can handle all of this. Gong Yan, I am not a person who would let himself down, this … I think you know that too. "

The cold expression on the man's face loosened up a lot because when she said her last sentence, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, making him smile coquettishly and mischievously.

He lowered his eyes and pulled at his lips helplessly. He was much more clear that he had experienced that wild and unruly feeling in her bones so many times. If he still wasn't clear about it, then these past few days had been a waste of time.

"Are you sure you can handle it?"

Pei Luoyi knew that he had finally let the matter go and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She then raised her eyebrows, "Of course."

Seeing that her face was brimming with confidence, the man took a deep look at her and extended a hand towards her. "Phone."

"Oh." Pei Luoyi hurriedly placed the black phone back into his palm.

Gong Yan put his phone back in his pocket and said, "I'll get Uncle Lin to send you over tonight, I won't be back so early. Call me when you're done eating, I'll come pick you up."

Pei Luoyi obediently complied, "Alright."

Only then did the man go downstairs.

Watching her tall and straight figure walk out of the main door, Pei Luoyi withdrew her hand from the banister, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

"..."

It was already the beginning of autumn and the sky was getting dark.

Pei Luoyi cleaned up quickly, and by the time she reached the first floor, the sky was already completely shrouded in darkness.

Looking at the time on the screen, it was not even 6 o'clock.

From Thousand Islands Manor to the Pei family's villa, he stood outside the yard and watched the lights in the house go off. He felt a sense of familiarity and loneliness.

A gust of cool night wind blew over. Pei Luoyi tightly wrapped herself in her thin, long coat and shivered. She then pushed open the black iron door and walked in.

The door of the villa was not closed yet, so he could hear the sounds of conversation coming from inside.

Pei Luoyi familiarly changed her shoes in the hall and walked into the living room.

No one.

He walked naturally towards the restaurant.

"Go back to the hospital and bring some to Yu. I made Mother Li boil this soup for an entire afternoon. It's definitely nutritious. Tell Yu Shu to drink more …" Yi Yi? "

In such a big restaurant, Luo Yun and Pei Mingyuan were both there.

Pei Luoyi did not expect that Pei Jingman would return as well. When he saw her sitting at the dining table, he stopped at the entrance. His plain face was expressionless to the point that it was almost devoid of any emotion.

The moment Luo Yun said that, the other two people's gazes naturally turned towards her.

It could be said that the three of them had different expressions. Luo Yun had been looking forward to it for several days now.

Pei Jingman looked at Pei Luoyi's slim and delicate body, which was wrapped in a long, red coat, appearing more slender and graceful. Compared to this, she had been worrying so much about the divorce that she couldn't eat or sleep well.

In this sort of comparison, the gap between the two sides became even more obvious.

The fingers under the table clenched.

Pei Mingyuan looked at his daughter, whom he had not seen for months, with a deep look in his eyes. Even though his face was still stern as usual, his posture had become a little more reserved.

Before she could even react, Luo Yun had already walked up to her and grabbed her hand, "I was just about to call you, why is your hand so cold?" Is it cold outside when the wind blows? The soup has just been stewed, so let's have a bowl of soup first. "

Luo Yun didn't seem to mind her absent-mindedly. She pulled Pei Luoyi to the dining table and sat her down. She turned around and called out to Mother Li, who was washing vegetables in the sink, "Mama Li, bring a bowl of chicken soup over to Yiyi."
