When it was over again, it was already late at night.
She let the man carry her into the bathroom to wash her body, put on a clean nightgown, and then carried her back to the bed to pull out the covers to let her in.
Gong Yan turned off the lights, then got onto the bed. He pulled away the corner of the bed and lay down. He wrapped his long arm around the woman's soft body, which was exuding the fragrance of a bath, and kissed the top of her head.
His gloomy gaze fell outside the French window, or perhaps it was not, but rather he was staring in that direction, slightly lost in thought.
"Gong Yan …" The woman in his arms suddenly whispered. Her head was raised from his embrace, and her sleepy eyes were opened a little, "Do you want to invite Dr. Chi over for your birthday? "We're the only ones here, it seems too lonely …"
On a day worth celebrating, of course, it would be better to have more people.
Seeing that she looked like she was about to fall asleep while speaking, Gong Yan stroked her head and said, "There are still a few days left. Don't worry about how you're going to spend your days. Sleep first, hm?"
Pei Luoyi was truly sleepy. Her eyes involuntarily closed as she found a more comfortable position in his embrace. She muttered under her breath, "If you don't mind …" I want Xin Xin to come and help me prepare it … "
At the end of her words, her voice had become so faint that it was hard to hear her words. After a few seconds, all that was left was the sound of her breathing.
Gong Yan looked down at her and kissed her heart. Somewhere in his heart, there was a depression. It was so soft that it felt like it was about to collapse.
An unprecedented feeling lingered in his heart, gradually filling his entire chest. He hugged the warm body, feeling unprecedented satisfaction.
"..."
The next day.
Pei Luoyi stroked her messy hair and got up from under the blanket. The sunlight had already shone through the French windows onto the gray carpet.
She stretched lazily and sat quietly for a while. The door was pushed open from the outside. The tall and straight man changed into a suit with dark patterns on it. He wore a light blue shirt.
Seeing her sitting down, Gong Yan raised his eyebrows and walked over to stroke her soft hair, "Why are you awake so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Pei Luoyi rubbed her eyes and mumbled, "It's Monday and I have to go to work later …"
Otherwise, based on her condition last night, she wouldn't be able to get up until noon today.
Gong Yan was helpless. He knew that if she was allowed to sleep longer, she wouldn't agree, so he didn't say anything more, "Since you're awake, help me tie my tie, hm?"
"Tie?" Pei Luoyi blinked a few times, only to see that he was still wearing his tie. "Oh, but I don't seem to know how to …"
It wasn't that she didn't know anything, it was just this matter. Because she hadn't had a chance to practice for years, she had pretty much forgotten all about the actual strategy. She was afraid of accidentally strangling him …
Gong Yan laughed lightly, directly tying his black tie around his neck, holding her hand, and said in a deep and sweet voice, "Rise, I will teach you. In the future, you will have many opportunities to do this, don't worry, you won't be able to learn it."
Pei Luoyi's face was burning with embarrassment at his words. "Alright …" But if I accidentally hurt you later on, you don't need to rely on me. "
She rose obediently under the gaze of the man and knelt on the edge of the bed, trying to remember what she had seen, her hands moving.
As he got closer, he could still smell the faint aftertaste of the water on the man's chin. It was a refreshing mint smell, a very good smell.
Gong Yan's handsome eyebrows drooped down. Looking at the woman's frown, his thin lips carried a faint smile. No matter how much she struggled, she didn't say a word.
Pei Luoyi spent three minutes trying to get it over with. Luckily, although she stumbled, she was able to get it over with in the end.
"Alright." She let out a heavy breath and smiled at the man. She translated her proud little expression to indicate that she wanted to say "I'm amazing".
Gong Yan pressed his fingers against her cheeks, and kissed her lips like a reward, "I'll go to the company first, Uncle Lin will send you there later."
"So early today?"
It was not even 8: 00 yet. Although he usually woke up early, today's situation was quite abnormal.
Gong Yan put a hand in his pocket and said gently, "Didn't you tell me to come out that day? The job can only be done as soon as possible. "
Pei Luoyi nodded and replied in a melodious tone, "Oh. It's so hard …" Her black and white eyes rolled around in a circle. Should I do something to reward the diligent Miyake? "
The smile on the man's lips deepened. "I might be a bit late today, so you're going to accompany me at work tonight?"
At night? Go to the company to work overtime with him?
"Oh, okay." Anyway, it was boring for her to have dinner alone at home.
After the man went downstairs to work, Pei Luoyi followed him out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. She then ate some breakfast prepared by a servant and left for work.
Sitting in the car, looking out the window at the scenery, she was thinking about what kind of gift she should prepare for a man, one that he had almost what most people wanted all their lives, that he had nothing in the world, that she wanted to buy what was in his eyes, that she would have to go bankrupt.
Pei Luoyi was conflicted for a long time, but still could not make up her mind. In the end, she took out her cell phone and sent a long paragraph of messages.
The reply came quickly.
A birthday present?" Your Mr. Palace doesn't lack anything, I'm guessing he wouldn't even like anything you buy … "" No, no... Why don't you give yourself to him? No, he bought you for ten million, and you're already his. At most, you might even personally cook a table of good dishes for him on your birthday to comfort him. He might even be moved by that.]
Pei Luoyi bit her lips and thought for a moment as she looked at the screen. It wasn't that she couldn't, it was just that her cooking skills weren't that good. What if she didn't taste good … She remembered that last night, she had suggested to Gong Yan that he invite his friends to celebrate together, that he lose face in front of him alone, and lose face in front of a bunch of people.
She thought for a moment, then turned back. Even she herself could not help but want to laugh.
[Your suggestion isn't bad. That's my skill... You know, how about Chef Xin come over the other day to show off your chefs' style? In any case, your culinary skills are excellent. You can even receive praise from everyone by displaying it to them, killing two birds with one stone.]
Intent: [...] You are really perfunctory towards your master, what I have done and what you have done personally, can it be of the same nature? Besides, the 'everyone' you're talking about shouldn't be just the two of you, right? Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to go over there?]
