C90

She looked like she was sleeping soundly and heavily.

As a result, the man was even more unbridled as he brushed aside the scattered hair on the woman's face with his warm fingertip.

Pei Luoyi vaguely felt that something was about to happen, but before she could even react, it had already happened.

Perhaps not even for a second, just for an instant.

An earth-shattering change had already occurred in her heart. It was like a tornado had risen from the ground and swept across, causing everywhere it passed to become a mess.

The man's breath didn't leave right away. It was so close, so close that they could feel each other's breath.

She could not see anything with her eyes closed, but she could still feel the burning gaze of the man.

He looked at her from a centimeter away for about a minute before he straightened up and the light fell back on her face.

It didn't seem like the right time to wake up.

She decided to continue pretending to be asleep. After all, if she was suddenly discovered that she had already woken up, it would inevitably be awkward.

At least, she would be embarrassed.

Furthermore … She didn't know how to react to that kiss.

His mind was in a mess, but he still had to try his best to put on the facade of a deep sleep. It was truly tiring.

However, the man had no intention of leaving immediately. He seemed to look at her for a while longer before standing up.

However, she did not turn around to leave. Pei Luoyi could feel two arms trying to wrap around her shoulders and knees.

He's … Want to pick her up?

However, his legs …

She opened her eyes abruptly. By the time she had expected it, it was already too late.

Since Gong Yan wanted to hug the woman to get up, he bent over and watched her eyes suddenly open up. Moreover, her eyes were clear and bright. Without much thought, one could tell that she was just pretending to be asleep.

Their eyes met.

Pei Luoyi held her breath and struggled to avert her eyes.

"You're awake?" A low, hoarse voice spilled from the man's thin lips.

It was too close, and the woman's fan-like eyelashes could be seen quivering.

Pei Luoyi slowly lifted her eyelids to meet his gaze and pursed her lips. Although he stopped trying to pick her up, he didn't have the intention of letting her go. The two of them stood very close to each other.

When she got close enough to meet his eyes, which were as dark as the night, she found it hard to breathe.

"I... I'm not going to sleep in the bedroom, so don't waste your efforts. "

When the woman's voice, which was as soft as a mosquito's, fell into his ear, Gong Yan's eyebrows softened even more.

He pursed his lips and was about to get up.

Pei Luoyi sensed his intentions and frowned. She immediately raised her hand to push the man's shoulder, "You don't want your leg anymore, right?"

Hearing this, the man stopped moving once again. He lowered his gaze and said lightly, "You sleep on the bed, I sleep here."

He probably wasn't used to sleeping on the sofa since he hadn't fallen asleep yet.

"No need," Pei Luoyi tried to struggle free and wanted to withdraw from the man's embrace. "If you didn't come out, I would have fallen asleep already. Go back and sleep."

Gong Yan lowered his head and looked at her for a while.

He didn't say anything, nor did he have any intention of letting go. Pei Luoyi was in his embrace, struggling uncontrollably. She then raised her head and glared at him unhappily.

The two of them looked at each other in silence.

After a while, the man gently let go of her and put her back on the sofa. He tucked her in and stood up.

Petrov rolled over, facing the back of the sofa, and closed his eyes.

Not long later, he heard the sound of the man's footsteps leaving, as well as the sound of the door closing again a few seconds later.

At almost the same time, Pei Luoyi opened her eyes.

The only difference was that his eyes were lifeless, devoid of any emotion.

Or perhaps, if one looked carefully, they would be able to capture one or two dark and profound emotions.

After a moment of silence, she slowly lifted her finger from under the blanket and stroked her lips. Her finger brushed against her lower lip. It was rough, but it didn't feel like the finger was touching a man's lips.

His slightly retracted eyes dimmed a little, and the hand that was touching his lips also retracted back into the blanket.

She slowly closed her eyes, completely devoid of sleep.

"..."

The next day.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't slept at all that night, but soon after dawn, she fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, it was already late in the morning.

She held her sore forehead and sat up from the sofa. After sitting for a while, she groggily touched the phone on the tea table and looked at the time.

When he saw that it was already past 9, the drowsiness he had been feeling vanished in an instant.

She threw back the blanket and hurried to the bathroom.

A few steps later, he saw a well-dressed man sitting at the table, idly flipping through a newspaper. On the table was a steaming cup of coffee and an empty plate.

Hearing her movements, the man closed the newspaper in front of him and stared emotionlessly at her with his deep eyes.

"Why are you still here?"

Pei Luoyi looked him up and down, and saw that he was already walking towards her.

From what she had observed, as the owner of the Gong Family Group, he did not have any so-called weekend break. He might take a small break in the morning or afternoon, but that was only changing his location to work at home.

When Pei Luoyi walked to the table, he noticed that there was still a plate of breakfast on it, which was kept in a thermal insulation box.

He raised his eyebrows lazily and looked at her. He did not answer her question, but directly said in a commanding tone, "I pushed my morning job. I don't have much time, so it's best if you finish it within half an hour."

As he spoke, he glanced down at his wristwatch.

Pei Luoyi didn't understand the reason, and was even confused. With a frown, she asked, "Where are you bringing me to?"

Yesterday, she didn't say that she had any urgent matters to attend to today. Since things were so urgent, it was inevitable that she would be displeased.

"Civil Affairs Bureau." the man said, staring at her.

Pei Luoyi's breath caught in her throat.

His fingertip trembled slightly and shrank back. Then, he clenched it tightly and placed it by his side.

"Why …"

Before she could ask, the man spoke first, "Since this matter has to be done sooner or later, I don't care if it's today or another day. I'll do it today after I find the time in the morning."

A hint of sadness and helplessness could be faintly seen on the woman's quiet face. He subconsciously bit down hard on her words. "Or should I …" "You don't want to?"

Pei Luoyi looked into her black eyes that were staring fixedly at her dark and lifeless eyes. She swallowed her saliva and shook her head with a slight smile, "You said that today. I have no choice, no? There's no point in asking if you're willing or not. Even if I am not, you can't just listen to me. "

Then she suddenly thought of something and changed the subject, "Oh right, it's not a Saturday? "The Civil Affairs Bureau …"

"Saturday is their working day."

The man looked at her unblinkingly and replied with a cold voice.

The look in her eyes made Pei Luoyi feel somewhat guilty and anxious, as if he had seen through her mind.

Indeed, when she recalled that today was Saturday, she did indeed wish for a little bit. If no one came to work during the weekend, perhaps she could delay it for another two days …
