Pei Luoyi quietly listened to the reply, and her heart tightened.

After replying, Gong Yan turned his attention back to the phone. Noticing the woman's sudden silence, he frowned slightly and asked, "Why aren't you talking?"

She opened her mouth, lowered her head and said, "Oh, it's nothing. Aunt Zhou said that dinner is ready, so she asked me to come over."

Gong Yan didn't think too much into it, and he didn't notice the change in her tone, "Okay, you go eat. I still have things to do, I'll call you later."

Pei Luoyi curled her fingers into a ball, and then looked into the distance with a lifeless look in her eyes, as she replied blankly, "Okay."

Then, he took out his phone and hung up.

Even after she finished her actions, she was still sitting on the bench sleepily, looking down at the screen as it automatically went out without moving. It was as though she was a statue that had blended into the darkness of the night.

It was the servant who came out of the villa and saw her sitting under the tree that led her back to the house.

After dinner, Pei Luoyi went upstairs to take a bath. Since she had nothing else to do, she took a book from the man's study out of boredom and laid down on the bed to read.

He was looking, but apparently, he was not paying attention. His line of sight shifted from time to time to the phone beside his bed.

There was no text, no phone.

She bit her lip. She did not want to guess, but she could not help but picture it in her mind one by one … Was he eating with the woman?

Or … He was doing something else.

After thinking for a while, he realized that he had been holding onto the book for almost half an hour and was reading nothing at all.

She threw the book away, picked up her cell phone, and opened WeChat.

[Why did you call me today?]

When the message was sent to Xin Yi, the other side didn't immediately reply.

Pei Luoyi was holding her cellphone, her upper body resting on a pillow, one hand resting on her chin. She was bored to death, and was waiting for a reply from the other side.

After a while, he finally received a reply.

What did you do? I've called you several times and you haven't answered.]

Pei Luoyi felt a bit guilty, but upon recalling that today was a Saturday, she decided to sleep in and avoid the topic.

In the end, she sent an ambiguous emoji over. Pei Luoyi stared at the smiling cartoon character and naturally knew what he was hinting at.

Pei Luoyi immediately sent an emoji with its head exploding.

I originally wanted to ask when you were going to come over and take it back, but since I had nothing to do, I went over to look for you. In the end, your servant told me that you were resting, so I put the things down and came back.?

The thing he bought last time he went shopping?

Pei Luoyi had completely forgotten that there was such a thing going on. If she hadn't said it, she would have completely forgotten.

Last time, the two of them wandered around for an entire day. In the evening, Xin Yi pulled her to a bar, but later on, the scumbag came to that place, and she was directly brought back by Gong Yan.

Pei Luoyi suddenly thought of something and her heart skipped a beat.

Her fingertips flicked across the screen.

[That's right, I remember you buying a pair of cuff links used by men that day. Did you send them over for me?]

She had bought it herself. She had wanted to thank the man, but she had forgotten to give it away.

The news quickly returned.

[You sent it over. You bought it and sent it back. I even specially told your servant to pass that item to your head. Didn't he tell you?]

When Pei Luoyi heard the news, she threw away her phone and hurriedly got off the bed. Without even wearing her shoes, she opened the door and walked out barefooted.

A servant happened to pass by.

"Sister Li, I'd like to ask about the things that my friend sent over today. Where did they all go?"

The servant who was called "Sister Li" pointed to the cloakroom and replied, "Oh, those things. Young Master Gong told me to put them there. They're on top of the closet. You can see them once you go in."

Pei Luoyi nodded, "Okay, thank you."

With that, she walked over, opened the cloakroom door, and casually turned on the switch.

A few white bags were indeed very eye-catching and could be seen at a glance.

Pei Luoyi walked over and rummaged through her bag, but she couldn't find the black bag. She looked anxious as she squatted down and searched through other areas, but she couldn't find the bag.

He thought back to what Xin Yi had just said. If she had instructed the servants to give the items directly to the man, then he should have received them by now.

She pursed her lips and walked over to the other wall where the men's clothes were. Sure enough, she saw the familiar package box in a drawer.

Pei Luoyi smirked and was about to pick it up when her sight was caught by another box placed in the corner of the drawer.

Inexplicably, her fingers moved in a different direction to reach the black velvet gift box, and she pulled it out from the corner.

Perhaps it was because no one had moved for a long time, but the surface was covered in a thin layer of dust.

Pei Luoyi swept the dust away and looked at the box in her hands. Suddenly, a strange feeling arose from the bottom of her heart. The contents of the box seemed to be similar to men … It's important.

The box opened, revealing a pair of exquisite sapphire cufflinks.

Under the light of the open lamp, the gem refracted light and overflowing color. With a single glance, one could see that it was expensive.

Perhaps … The meaning was profound.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have put it in that inconspicuous but safe corner.

Pei Luoyi picked up one of the items and held it in front of her eyes to take a closer look. Perhaps her purpose was the same as hers; these two items were given to a man as gifts. That was why he kept them here.

She suddenly thought of what Su Zhizhi had said … The woman who had once appeared in a man's life and had been hidden deep within his heart.

Intuition must have something to do with that woman.

It was very possible that she had given it to him.

Pei Luoyi stared blankly at it for a moment before putting it back in its original position and pushing it to the drawer.

He had been wondering what expression the man would have when he received the item. Now, he wasn't in the mood anymore.

That night, Pei Luoyi waited for Gong Yan to call and waited for him to arrive at midnight. When she could no longer hold on, she fell into a deep sleep …

The next day was Sunday, so she didn't have to go to work. Pei Luoyi woke up early and subconsciously checked the screen on her phone.

Nothing, nothing, nothing.

She bit her lips and threw her cell phone to the side, feeling depressed and angry.

They had spoken on the phone, but there wasn't even a text message...

She didn't get a call from a man until she was depressed all day before dinner.

The two of them chatted for a while, but it seemed as if he was very busy. Soon, he hung up again. Pei Luoyi was still holding her cellphone, feeling a little distracted.

The third day was Monday.

As soon as Pei Luoyi arrived at the painting, he saw a group of people gathered together, chattering animatedly about something.

Amida was in the crowd, and when she came in from outside, she pulled her over without a second thought.

"Ai ai, have you heard about Luo Yi? Tong Jia has resigned."
