"Sis."

Pei Jingman heard the footsteps approaching behind her, and her spine went stiff. The tears that had dropped from her eyes just a second ago froze in her vision. She pursed her colorless lips, and stood up with empty eyes.

Turning around, a fierce slap landed without any hesitation.

However, before they could even land a slap on her cheek, they were abruptly cut off.

Pei Luoyi blankly stared at the fingertip that was trembling right in front of her. For a long time, she couldn't react to what just happened.

The woman who apologized during the day seemed to be so furious that it seemed as if the hatred in her eyes was about to annihilate her.

"Miss Pei, are you trying to vent your anger on someone else because you can't protect your own husband?"

Behind her, the clear and chilly air belonging to a man blew past her sensitive ears. She had a hoarse and low magnetic voice, and her slow and unhurried tone was filled with an indescribable seductive charm.

Pei Jingman's wrist was held in the man's hand by a Pei Loyi. The strength displayed was clearly beyond what a woman could handle.

Her originally pale face turned red from the pain.

"It hurts, let go of me …"

Pei Jingman's delicate features were wrinkled and she wanted to pull back her hand, but the man had no intention of letting her go.

"Mister Gong, let go of me."

Pei Luoyi indifferently said as she looked at the malevolent expression on the woman's face.

The man's eyebrows were slightly raised, although her back was facing him, so she couldn't see his expression.

Gong Yan smirked, bent down and whispered into the woman's ear, "Are you sure? If I can stop it once, I can't guarantee I can stop it a second time. "

Pei Luoyi didn't have any expression on her face as she coldly stared at the woman and replied, "I'm sure. Let go of me."

The man narrowed his eyes slightly before turning to face the woman who was sweating profusely from the pain. A trace of contempt could not help but leak out from his eyes before he finally let go of the power in his hand.

Since there was someone who didn't want him to interfere, he lost his interest and turned around to return to the narrow sofa and sit down.

On the tea table, there were noodles that had already been cooked. For some reason, the woman even fried an egg on top of it.

Gong Yan could only attribute his hooked appetite to the fact that he hadn't eaten dinner yet. His stomach was empty, making it easier for him to get hungry. When he got hungry, he would feel that everything tasted good.

He picked up a pair of chopsticks and slowly chewed on it. During this time, he even paused for a moment and his eyes fell on his face as he fell into a short period of contemplation.

Not that it tasted bad, but unexpectedly, the taste was even better than he had expected.

The man tried to figure out what the woman had said before she entered the kitchen: "I don't cook much." Then he continued to eat …

Outside the door, Pei Luoyi closed the door as she walked out of the corridor.

He completely separated the random people inside.

She looked at the woman who was rubbing her hands without saying anything for a while, and was the first to speak. "You wanted to hit me just now, but you felt that I was the one who asked him to come over?"

Her voice was cold and indifferent, her every word striking against Pei Jingman's heart.

Pei Jingman's hands stopped moving, and her head lowered even more. Her nails dug into her wrists, leaving behind a deep cut. However, she did not loosen her grip, as if she did not feel anything.

After a long while, she raised her head with a smile on her face and tears in her eyes. She softly and gently smiled and said, "Luoyi, seriously, you still blame me, right?"

Pei Luoyi cast a cold glance at her, and a trace of impatience flitted across her eyes. "I've said it before, I don't blame you."

"Don't blame me? "Heh …"

The woman shook her head, laughed even harder, and her tears fell even harder, "You don't blame me? You don't blame me if you tell him you have him here? What is your purpose? "Pei Luoyi, he and I are already married!"

"So?" What are you trying to tell me? "

There was a hint of a cold smile in his clear black and white eyes, but it was not in his eyes. It was so cold that it chilled one to the bone.

Pei Jingman looked into her intimidating eyes and suddenly felt embarrassed. His fevered mind also cleared up a bit.

What was she doing? Hysterical to his sister like a jealous woman?

Embarrassed, she bit her lips. She glanced away and closed her eyes, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible, "Sorry, I was muddle-headed. My brain was probably too clear earlier, that's why …"

She wiped the moisture from her eyes. "Sorry, Yiyi, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you. I just …"

"I thought."

Before she could finish her words, Pei Luoyi mercilessly cut her off.

Her speech was very slow, her clear words slowly revealed her red lips, "Compared to letting him sleep on the tunnel for the night, you definitely want him to go back. After all, sleeping here has caught a cold, and you're the only one who feels sorry for him."

Pei Jingman looked at the woman's slightly drooping face, her black hair concealing her expression, but only the indifference that leaked out from her entire body.

For a second, she suddenly felt that her sister, who had lived with her for more than twenty years, was so unfamiliar that she almost couldn't recognize her.

You're the only one who's feeling bad.

The meaning of this sentence was self-evident.

She no longer had any feelings for this man, so she naturally didn't care whether he was cold or hot.

But her sister was worried, so she called her anyway.

Pei Jingman's face changed several times. She felt regret for being able to act like a jealous woman so easily, as well as guilt for her actions not too long ago.

"Yiyi, I'm sorry."

As Pei Luoyi listened, she lifted up the hair that had fallen down from her ears and curled her lips. "Don't apologize to me anymore. You've already said enough today."

"Repeating that sentence over and over again would only make it seem less sincere."

The woman's face turned even paler. She was so embarrassed that she was almost ashamed.

Pei Luoyi turned around to push on the door handle. When her fingertips came in contact with the handle, a voice came from behind her, causing her to stop in her tracks.

"Yiyi!" "That man from before …"

Pai Jingman stared at her straight back, wanting to say something but hesitating. He twisted his fingers and stopped.

She turned around and looked at the woman, her wrinkled eyebrows showing her displeasure and coldness. "Didn't you already know? Why do you need to ask? "

Pei Jingman bit her lips and didn't dare to look her in the eye. She took a deep breath and slowly spoke after a long while, "I just …" I'd like to ask, have you already … "You promised him?"

Pei Luoyi sneered coldly. Her eyes were as cold as ice.

"You think I have a choice? He is our lifesaver now, and you can't count on him anymore, so I'll have to hold on to it. "

With that, she pressed down the doorknob, pushed open the door and entered the room, then closed the door.

With her back pressed against the door, Pei Luoyi felt as if all her strength had been sucked out of her. She slid down to the floor and rested her forehead on her knees. Her whole body was shrouded in a layer of gray gloom.
