Jia Yu Shu looked at the woman in front of him as she turned around. On her beautiful face was a neither hot nor cold expression. She took a step back and widened the distance between the two of them.
"Yiyi …"
When he saw her like this, he felt something flash through his mind, so fast that it disappeared before he could catch it.
His underling moved to grab the woman's hand again, but this time she seemed to have expected this and easily dodged it.
"Jia Yu Shu, I think I have made myself clear. What do you want me to do to recognize the reality?"
She seemed to be annoyed. She turned her face away, her eyes clearly showing her annoyance.
Jia Yu Shu's heart tightened. He was afraid that he would completely lose this feeling. In the end, he had still defeated that bottom line that he had once erected.
His eyes, deep and loving, fell on the woman's face. Almost without thinking, he heard himself say, "Yi Yi, wait a little longer, okay? When it's a little longer, I'll tell Jingman... "
Pei Luoyi's pupils constricted. She raised her eyes and looked at the man with a look of disbelief.
Looking at it, he felt that the face before him became more and more unfamiliar. "Jia Yu Shu, how did you become like this?"
Was he still the Jia Yu she knew?
If so, how could he say such words and be so unresponsible?
The man looked at the woman's clear eyes. Pain flashed across his eyes.
He didn't want to make this choice if he could, but compared to losing her, he would rather do this …
What both of them did not know was that at the corner of the stairs stood a few meters away, a figure that had been standing there for a long time.
Pei Jingman's eyes were closed. The darkness of the staircase could not conceal the pallor on her face. The sticky sensation on her palm emitted a faint trace of blood.
Only if she had enough pain to keep her mind clear would she be able to listen to all the conversations and suppress the impulse to directly leave.
There was probably nothing more cruel than hearing the words of a man who loved her most and promised himself to be separated from her in the presence of another woman.
If his previous performance had been a heartless comparison of cutting deeply into her heart with a sharp blade, then now she only felt that he had pierced a hole in her heart. It was extremely painful, and also extremely numbing.
"..."
Pei Luoyi chased the man away before turning around to enter the house.
He took off his shoes, put on the clean and soft cotton straps, walked over to the sofa and sat down.
He hadn't been back in a few days, so the house wasn't too dirty to sit in.
Ye Zichen rubbed his eyebrows, then his phone, which was thrown onto the sofa, rang.
On the way back, he felt bored, so he downloaded some commonly used software.
She picked up the phone and turned on the screen, squinting at the words.
It was a Weibo post.
It was about the farce at the wedding of the president of the palace, which was making a ruckus all over the city.
Without any hesitation, Pei Luoyi tapped the page with his finger and started reading.
She hadn't been at the wedding, so she didn't know if the article had been written by the media or if it had basically restored the situation.
However, when one looked at the words on the map, even if it wasn't completely true, it should still be somewhat true.
When she had finished reading the article, she went back to the top and reread the picture.
Other than the first scene of the wedding, there were also a few pictures of an unfamiliar man rushing onto the stage to frame the bride. On the other hand, Gong Yan, who wore a white tuxedo, stood at the side with an indifferent expression, completely lacking the attitude that a client should have, saying that he was a groom would be more like a spectator standing on the stage to watch the show.
Pei Luoyi was still surprised. She was surprised that the woman who could not hide the love in her eyes would actually have a grudge with another man as soon as he appeared …
She tapped on the screen a few times, logged out of the article, and went to search for the rankings. It had already been 24 hours, and this news article was still at the top of the list.
The person who was pushed to the top was no doubt Su Qizhi. After all, she was the first person to publicly give away her position as president of the Palace Group during the wedding ceremony.
Just click on a random entry and you'll see a bunch of personal attacks on her under the comments.
Pei Luoyi was not interested in this. She took a quick glance and then logged out of Weibo. She opened Weibo and sent a message to a friend she hadn't chatted with for a long time.
The moment the message was sent, the other side replied almost instantly.
"The missing have returned?"
Pei Luoyi looked at the reply on the screen, and the corners of her lips curled up silently.
She probably wasn't surprised anymore. After all, she was either placed under house arrest by a man every once in a while, or he finally decided not to keep her under house arrest. Instead, she was kidnapped by his ill-intentioned grandmother.
Her current calm reaction was probably due to her jumping out on her own after a period of time and she was too lazy to look for her.
Pei Luoyi looked at the WeChat dialog box and absentmindedly thought of the moment when she was about to drown to death.
It really responded to that sentence. People never knew who would say goodbye to you and never see you again.
Fortunately, she was still alive.
In the cold living room, the woman's lonely figure sat on the sofa, the smile on her lips gradually disappearing.
"..."
The next morning, Pei Luoyi woke up at the usual time.
Since the man had promised to give her some free time, she naturally couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
As for her favorite life, it was nine to five. She had to work on time every day, get off work according to the schedule, and have the time to meet up with a few of her friends on the weekends.
He did not expect to receive a call from Pei Jingman at noon.
She was just about to go out for dinner with a group of her colleagues when her cell phone rang.
She picked up the phone on the table and looked at the name on it.
She paused for a few seconds, then picked up the phone.
Just as the phone touched his ear, a woman's soft voice came out from the other end.
"Yiyi, are you going to get off work soon?"
Pei Luoyi raised her gaze and glanced at the clock on the wall. With an indifferent tone, she asked, "Is there something you need?"
Perhaps it was because she felt that her tone was too cold, but when she spoke again, her voice contained a hint of faint caution. Pei Luoyi heard Pei Jingman chuckle and said, "It's nothing. It's just that I haven't seen you for a while …"
After a while, she continued, "Also, my parents and I already knew about the previous Mr. Heavenly Palace's wedding, so I wanted to meet with you. I'm currently at a restaurant near your company, if it's convenient for you, can we have lunch together?"
Pei Luoyi stopped picking up the documents and frowned, "Mom and Dad are here as well?"
"No, I'm the only one, you... Are you free? "
