He then replied in a low voice to the other end of the phone, "Let him in, I'll wait for him in the main room."

Pei Luoyi tilted his head back and placed his arms around his waist. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"A subordinate." Gong Yan put the phone back in his pocket, pinched her tender cheeks, and led her to the sofa.

Pei Luoyi gave a 'oh' as if she understood the meaning behind his words. A look of doubt flashed across her eyes.

She suddenly thought of something and struggled out of the man's arms. She turned around and quickly returned to the sofa and picked up the gift bag. She stared at the man's dark eyes as she slowly walked back to him with a smile.

When she was one step away from him, she raised the gift in her hand. "Here, a birthday present."

Gong Yan glanced at her bright eyes, then lowered his head and fixed his gaze on the package bag that she was holding. His thin lips slightly curved up into a smile. "What's that?"

"Why don't you open it and take a look." Pei Luoyi smiled slyly, intentionally trying to keep him in suspense.

The man looked at her with a slight smile for a moment, then reached out to take it.

He opened the wrapping paper a few times, revealing the box inside.

Gong Yan took a glance at him and frowned, "Perfume?"

Pei Luoyi was sitting on his lap with her chin on his shoulder. Hearing his words, she looked at him with a disappointed expression and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?" I've tried this taste before. It's very light. "

With that, she pouted, feeling wronged, "Other than perfume, I don't know what to give you, you don't lack anything else."

He naturally hoped that the other side would happily accept the gift, but from his expression, it was clear that he didn't like it.

After racking his brain to think of something that he would probably need, he actually didn't like it.

Pei Luoyi's mood had already dropped to the bottom of the valley, and her face was gloomy.

Gong Yan lowered his eyes, looking at that wronged and wronged appearance, his heart felt a little weak, "I didn't say I don't like it."

After some thought, he added, "I will use it in the future."

Only then did the little woman reveal a satisfied smile and help to put the things away.

While the two of them were snuggling in the sofa, a tall and slender figure suddenly walked in from outside. While leaning on Gong Yan's shoulder to talk, she didn't notice at all. Only when that person spoke did she raise her head to look over.

"Young Master Gong."

The weather in the late autumn was already next to the winter, and the day had become very short. At this time of the year, the entire villa was brightly lit, and the sky outside was gradually darkening.

A handsome man dressed in black pants stood a few meters away from the sofa. Behind him was a backpack of the same colour. Under his black hair, his face was so pale that it didn't seem like a man's.

A man more beautiful than a woman.

Pei Luoyi knocked on the introduction in her mind, and did not recover from the look on her face for a long time.

It was truly beautiful … Strangely, he didn't give off a feminine air. However, looking at his unblemished eyes, he made people feel ashamed.

Gong Yan wrapped his arm around her slender waist and looked at the man with the distant temperament. He said calmly, "The room you used to stay in has been cleaned up. Tang Sen will be staying in Southeast Asia for a few days and won't be back for a while."

Pei Luoyi came back to her senses. Tang Sen?

What he just called to say... This is the guy, right? He and Townsend... What was the relationship?

Since there were only a few servants left to help them, the kitchen had to be filled with more people to help them out. At this moment, there were only three people left in the huge living room.

Zhan Chen nodded his head in agreement before raising his calm eyes to look at Pei Luoyi, who was in the man's embrace.

Although the change was shallow, Pei Luoyi could still see the doubt in his eyes.

Just as he was thinking about how to introduce himself, the man beside him suddenly spoke up.

"This is my wife, and she's the one you'll need to protect in the future."

"Huh?"

Pei Luoyi was somewhat stupefied. What did he mean by "a person in need of special protection"? Would she be in danger in the future?

The elder sister was not surprised by the last sentence. This time, he vaguely sensed that there was a mission assigned to him after being recalled, but the first sentence …

His eyes, which were as black as an ancient well, were still moving.

Hearing that, Gong Yan looked down at the little woman's bewildered face, his fingers caressed it slowly, and asked in a low voice, "What, can't I send you a bodyguard?"

"But I don't need it." Pei Luoyi thought for a moment before replying.

Even though she had managed to escape death several times since she met him, her life had returned to a state of tranquility during this period of time. In the future … There shouldn't be any more mistakes, right?

She knew that there were some matters that had yet to be resolved, and that they would not be resolved in a short period of time.

However, bringing along a bodyguard was a bit too much for her, and it wasn't too convenient for her.

As if he could easily read her thoughts, the man's dark eyes deepened. "If you don't like him following you closely, I can make him watch you from nearby and not make you feel uncomfortable."

Pei Luoyi didn't expect him to insist in such a way and his face froze for a moment. His red lips trembled a few times before he slowly asked, "Gong Yan …" Is something wrong? "

"Nope." "No," he answered quickly, so quickly that he seemed to decide the answer without thinking.

Pei Luoyi was not slow. Any abnormal action was worth pondering over.

Thus, she was almost certain that the answer he gave her was not true.

She carefully probed the man's deep eyes. However, he had never been happy. Even his eyes rarely revealed any emotions. She was barely able to catch a glimpse of him.

"Fine." She did not continue asking. She quietly leaned back against the man's broad and broad shoulders, but her heart began to feel a little uneasy.

Dinner was not served that quickly, so the three of them sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV.

If Gong Yan didn't keep him for dinner, he would probably go straight back to his room. Right now, he was sitting on the other sofa, staring at the TV, as if he didn't see anything.

After that conversation, Pei Luoyi was no longer in the mood to enjoy the contents of the television. Her charming eyebrows were lowered, and her eyes were half-closed. She didn't know what she was thinking. The man was staring at her without noticing.

After a long period of silence, footsteps and the sound of men and women talking could be heard again at the door.

The three of them turned their gazes to the source of the voice.

Chi Yufeng walked behind Luo Xin with one hand holding a bag and the other holding a gift bag. He was the first to see the two sitting together on the sofa.
