C94

Pei Luoyi watched on with furrowed brows for a while, until a few security guards appeared on the screen and started to clear up the scene. Su Qizhi was also rescued from the crowd. Afterwards, the live broadcast ended automatically.

She put the phone back in its cradle and looked at the man behind the desk with a complicated expression.

The security guards who appeared were obviously part of the Gong Family Group. She didn't know if it was due to the men's orders or the reporters blocking the building's entrance that they were afraid of damaging the face of the security guards.

But after some thought, the latter was more likely to be true.

That was because ever since the man came in and turned on the computer, the sound of him tapping on the keyboard had never stopped. He also hadn't seen him take out his phone or call anyone to ask them to resolve the issue.

She stared in a daze, completely unaware of when the man had stopped his actions and looked in her direction.

Gong Yan looked at Pei Luoyi, who was obviously distracted, and said seriously, "If you're free, bring me a cup of coffee."

Pei Luoyi was startled by his words and frowned in dissatisfaction, "Don't you have a lot of assistant secretaries?"

The meaning behind her words was that someone would deliver it to him as soon as he pressed a button on the inside line. She didn't want to go down to the ground.

"I can see that you have nothing better to do. You'll probably want to sleep later and get up so that I don't have to wake you up later."

Hearing his words, Pei Luoyi was speechless.

If he hadn't said so, she really hadn't noticed her drowsiness. Last night, or rather this morning, she had slept too late.

"Oh." She responded faintly.

He tossed the phone aside and lifted the thin blanket off his body.

After putting on his shoes, he walked to the door and turned around and asked in confusion, "Where is the tea room?"

After Gong Yan finished typing a single word, his gaze shifted to her on the screen, "Go out the door and turn right, look at the sign."

Pei Luoyi curled her lips as she held the handle of the door, opened the door, and walked out.

The man's slender fingers that were tapping on the keyboard suddenly stopped. He raised his head to look at the door and saw an indescribable emotion flash across his eyes. It was so fast that it was hard to catch.

About two or three minutes later.

There seemed to be some sort of argument going on outside the door.

The man stopped what he was doing and listened quietly for a while. He thought something had happened to the woman and was about to get up.

The door was pushed open from the outside.

Shen Cui followed the menacing Su Zhizhi into the office. He helplessly looked deeply at the woman, then walked to the office desk and bent down slightly. He apologetically said to the man: "Apologies, Head of the Palace. I can't stop Miss Su."

When the two of them came in, the expression on Gong Yan's handsome face suddenly turned cold.

"Can't stop it?"

He glanced at Shen Cui, who had his head lowered, rather coldly. "Miss Su is so weak, yet you can't stop her. What kind of person can you stop her?"

Shen Cui was embarrassed by his words.

If he couldn't stop her, then she would definitely be able to. He was a grown man, and if he couldn't stop a frail woman, then he wouldn't be able to.

However, due to Su Zhizhi's status, it was not good to be rude to her. If he couldn't stop her, it would be useless to try to persuade her.

"Alright, I was the one who insisted on coming in. Yan-gege, you don't have to blame him."

Hearing that, Gong Yan turned his attention to a woman in a white dress.

He was half-reclining on the back of a chair, with his elbows on his sides. His long, clean fingers were crossed casually. He was clearly just sitting there, but just sitting there, he exuded an aura of arrogance that no one could match.

Susie met his indifferent gaze and took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Shen Cui bowed slightly as he looked at the man who signaled him to come over, before consciously withdrawing himself from the room.

The sound of the door closing was clear in the large, silent space.

Gong Yan slightly tilted his head and gazed at the woman standing in front of the desk. His thin lips curled up, and a sloppy voice came out from between his lips, "Speak, you're still looking for me even after taking such a risk. I'd like to hear about something important from you."

Hearing his words, Su Qizhi froze for a moment, and her fingers clenched into a fist that was tightly gripping the bag.

Her charming red lips moved, but the words she asked were not the words she had thought of from the start. "You, you know …"

"It's not hard to find out. After all, there was quite a bit of commotion downstairs just now."

The man lifted his head and took her words in his stride.

Su Zhizhi's thin body shook again, as if there was a small earthquake in front of her chest.

She opened her eyes and stared at the man, but her upper and lower eyelids could clearly see the intense trembling. The fluctuations in her eyes could be read as disbelief, or as the void after the breaking of her heart.

She swallowed the bitter taste in her mouth. Surprisingly, she did not cry.

Maybe the tears had dried up in the days before the wedding.

Ever since the wedding, she had been forced to remain outside the house and naturally didn't have the chance to look at the man in front of her again.

There were even a few times when she was on the verge of going crazy in the apartment building and trying to get out, but she was scared off by the reporters blocking the entrance to the apartment building.

She wanted to see him, and that was good enough. Even though things had reached a point where there was no way to reverse the situation, she still wanted to explain it to him.

She suddenly remembered that she had an important matter to attend to this time.

Su Zhi closed her eyes and opened them again. The emotions in her eyes had calmed down a lot.

"I know I was wrong about the wedding. I shouldn't have hidden it from you, I've …"

At this point, she seemed a bit embarrassed. She bit her lower lip and slowly continued, "I shouldn't have kept this a secret from you. I've already given myself to someone else …"

She looked at the man's calm expression and suddenly felt a sense of exhaustion. It wasn't so much that he didn't react as that he didn't care at all, but she had to say it anyway.

"I'm willing to take all responsibility for myself. Yan-gege, can you let my dad go? He doesn't know anything, so don't make things difficult for him, okay?"

"Difficult?" The man was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, with a low chuckle. "Miss Su, did you misunderstand something? Just like you said, Su Dong is just an outsider. Whatever grudge I have should be placed on you, so no matter what, it shouldn't be his. Then, what will I make things difficult for him? "

"Or," he continued after a pause, "do you think I will become angry because you lost yourself to someone else, and vent my anger on your entire family?"

Suzhi's face was naturally a little shy. Even though the man's words were not straightforward, she still felt like her face was burning with embarrassment.

He did not love her, so he naturally did not care who she gave to, nor did he vent his anger on anyone because of her loss.

She shook her head, confused, and put a hand on her aching forehead.

"But, if it wasn't for you, I couldn't think of anyone else …" She opened her eyes and mumbled to herself, "Daddy said that his shares were forced to be transferred. Right now, you are the head of the palace, if not for you …"
