Hearing this, Pei Luoyi, whose face had originally been tense, scoffed.

"Then I would like to ask Miss Su, where do I feel that I'm not awake?"

She said lightly, "You said that he loved someone. He didn't tell me that it was true, but … Is that important? "

"Doesn't matter?"

The woman almost immediately rejected the question, her lips curving up in a smug smile, "If you really thought it wasn't important, you wouldn't have acted so stiff when you heard it just now. Although I don't know what Yan-gege really likes about you, you don't have to keep pretending that you don't like him very much. I don't get his favor, but I'm also a woman. Those who understand a woman's heart the best... It's usually women. "

Pei Luoyi quietly listened as her fingertips unconsciously brushed against the rim of her cup. Finally, as if she had suddenly realized something, she leisurely replied, "So, you told me this because you know very well that for women, whether it is their current love rival or their potential rival, they will all become a knot in their hearts. You told me this because you want to make me unhappy, right?"

Suzy, of course, wanted to upset her.

The man she loved but could not be loved for more than ten years already belonged to this woman whose family's appearance could not even compare to hers.

But even so, being able to speak of her motives so bluntly made her seem like a malicious woman with an unsightly attitude.

Her face changed slightly, showing a hint of unease.

Ancient man Yun, it's been a long time since we last met, Miss Su is indeed worthy of respect. "Pei Luoyi lowered her eyebrows as she looked at the half-drunk cup of coffee, then calmly continued," I still remember the first time I saw you, I subconsciously felt that you should be the princess nurtured by the best in life.

She suddenly let out a long sigh and raised her head with a faint smile, "To judge a person by his appearance, it seems that I was wrong."

After saying this, she did not linger any longer. With a faint mocking smile, she turned around and pushed open the door, entering the office.

His slim and delicate figure froze in place. The ripples in his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

"..."

As soon as she pushed the door open, the man behind the desk looked up from his laptop screen.

"If you can make a cup of coffee for so long, you really don't have any chance of being an assistant."

He leaned his body slightly backwards and cast a sidelong glance at the woman as she walked over. There was no trace of happiness or anger in his voice.

Pei Luoyi raised her eyebrows as she walked to the table and placed the remaining half cup of coffee on it. She then propped herself up on the table and stared at him with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes as she replied, "Then don't keep asking our Director to brainwash me and let me be your assistant all day long. As you said earlier, I can't do anything when I'm free, so why are you arranging for me to go to that seat?"

It was one thing if this man didn't help her in advance, but she was furious.

Boss Hua was short of an assistant, so she could directly enroll more people.

Now that he had invested in this business, he could be considered half a boss to her, but she didn't know what his intentions were. Ever since he had become half a boss, the director had urged her to become President Hua's assistant.

Perhaps to many people, this was indeed not a bad thing, but Pei Luoyi was different.

She had entered the picture language because she loved the job she was now in, the work that would allow her to get more personal access to good works and meet people who had different opinions about every painting.

That was what she wanted.

It was laughable to say it out loud. She even felt that a man wanted to 'take advantage' of her power and satisfy his selfish desire.

If he really wanted to tie her up by his side for three years straight until the divorce, then he could just let her resign. After all, he had the right to do so now.

Gong Yan's eyes were so pale that they were almost transparent. He looked emotionlessly back at the woman with a grumbling expression.

After watching for a while, his attention shifted back to the cup of coffee. His black eyes narrowed.

"I let you pour the coffee, and you drank it?"

He raised his brows slightly, and a faint warmth could be seen in his eyes. He stood up from his chair and placed his hands on the table. "Speak, how much did you hear from outside the door?"

Pei Luoyi's heart skipped a beat. The fire that she had been holding within her chest was instantly extinguished. She did not even notice that she had been diverted from the topic.

"You better not accuse people wrongly. I didn't hear anything."

It was a lie that he didn't hear, but he only heard one or two sentences.

She was just about to go in after pouring the coffee when she heard Susie's voice through the door. What she said... It seemed to have something to do with the Old Mistress.

She didn't hear it clearly, and she didn't like to hear it, so she walked away.

However, the two of them seemed to be talking endlessly. She was bored and rarely stood on the highest point of the Cloud City. Thus, she drank her fragrant coffee and enjoyed the scenery.

The man looked at her deeply for a moment, as if he didn't really want to know.

Without another word, he got up from the leather swivel chair, pulled on his suit jacket, which had been draped over the back of the chair, and walked around the desk.

"Time's up, let's go eat."

Pei Luoyi froze for a moment. Looking at the tall and straight back of the man walking in front of her, she didn't know how to react. So much for a single episode? Wasn't he afraid that she would hear something and then go out and blabber?

Inexplicably, the more he acted indifferent, the harder it was for her to suppress her curiosity …

"You all …" Twisting her ten fingers together, she hesitated.

Actually, with their current situation, it would be best to avoid talking about the Gong Family's matters. However, there were some matters that even if they were not mentioned, it did not mean that it did not exist.

Hearing that, the man who had already walked to the door turned around and looked at the woman who was still sitting by the table. His deep eyes narrowed into long slits as he asked, "What do you want to say?"

Pei Luoyi stared at the pair of eyes for a moment before opening her mouth again and again.

A trace of impatience gradually appeared on the man's face. Seeing this, she still released his hand, shrugged her shoulders, and sighed lightly, "Forget it, it's nothing. Let's go, let's go eat."

Pei Luoyi looked away from the man's increasingly deep gaze and picked up the handbag that had been placed on the sofa. There was a trace of loneliness on her pure face.

She took her bag to the door and saw the man standing still like a small mountain. She sighed again and looked up at him helplessly. Didn't you say that you were going to eat? "

"What are you trying to say?"

She was shorter than he was, so he had to look down at her. He was sure she had something to say to him, but he couldn't figure out what made her want to say it.

On the surface, he was the one who had threatened her with the agreement, but her rebellious personality made him feel more or less at ease these days.
