Gong Yan gently pinched her lower jaw, forcing her to slightly raise her chin and meet his gaze. "Do you care about what I just talked about?"

It sounded like an inquiry, but the tone was almost one of certainty.

He did not know how much she had heard outside the door. Although she had not heard anything, her reaction did not seem to be the same as what she had said.

This action was undoubtedly ambiguous.

The distance between the two was shortening, and they were closing in on each other … He could clearly see the endless blackness in the man's eyes, like a black hole that was about to suck her in.

A trace of panic flashed through her eyes. She raised her hand to push away his grasp on her.

With her quick and nimble observation over the years, Gong Yan reacted the moment the woman raised her hand.

Her wrist was unsurprisingly buckled by one of his hands and held in place by his bony hand.

"Answer me." Her deep eyes revealed traces of an irresistible coldness. The clear and cold breath approached her breath.

Pei Luoyi struggled for a moment. Seeing that she couldn't defeat him, she decided not to struggle anymore. She lifted her eyelids to meet the man's incomparably deep eyes. "Let go of me first. It hurts to be pinched like this."

Gong Yan didn't immediately let go of her hand. He frowned and looked at her for a while before letting go and putting his hand back into his pants pocket.

Her skin was naturally ivory white, and sometimes, when she accidentally bumped into something, it would reveal an eye-piercing bruise. Although a man's strength was not great, because of this relationship, the red marks made by him seemed like he had used a lot of effort.

"Actually, there's nothing special I want to ask, all I heard was that you said …"

She pursed her lips, appearing hesitant. After considering for a moment, she continued, "Old Mistress Gong, are you planning to take back the Gong Family Group from your hands?"

She had only heard a few words, so she couldn't accurately judge if they meant it or not. However, when she recalled what she had said to the man in the hospital that day, combined with the time she had spent in contact with him, she could roughly guess what he meant.

Extreme egoism, and the habit of trying to control the overall situation, with everything firmly in their hands, do not allow for unstable factors to exist.

She was a woman who had lived for most of her life, a woman who had spent most of her life scheming and scheming. Now that she was old enough to enjoy the joy of heaven, she was still thinking about how to turn the tides and start over … He didn't know if he should say it was sad, or … This was the epitome of some women living in the upper echelons of society.

The man closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. When Pei Luoyi thought that he would not answer her question, she then heard his reply, "If she wants to go back, I can give it to her anytime. This is not mine to begin with."

She hadn't expected that he would give her such an answer, and was startled. For a long time, she didn't manage to react.

She thought … Even if he did not take the initiative to guard himself against Old Mistress Gong's actions, his attitude should not be so indifferent.

However, he had been adopted by the Gong Family since he was young. Even though he did not have the bloodline of the Gong Family, just in the short span of two years, he had already scaled up the scope of the Gong Family's business. The position that he was sitting in now was worthy of his title.

Furthermore, after the Old Master passed away, his relationship with the Old Mistress of the Asgard had been in disarray. He had never seemed to have the intention of establishing his own clan, while the Old Mistress of the Asgard instead seemed to want to sever all ties …

"Then why did she …" Pei Luoyi couldn't explain the complicated feelings she was feeling right now. Even though she said half of her sentence, she didn't know how to continue.

However, before he could finish his question, he was cut off by a man, "It won't do you any good to know too much. If you don't have a lot of brain capacity, don't force things in to add to your worries and go for a meal."

With that, the slender figure pulled open the office door and left.

Pei Luoyi was still lost in her thoughts a second ago, but after hearing his words, she became depressed.

F * ck, he actually said that her brain capacity is small? Isn't this saying that she's stupid in disguised form?

And just now, she was acting on his behalf … Her red lips curled up as she coldly snorted in her heart. Forget it, only a fool would feel pity for him.

Her innocent face bulged, and she dragged her bag with her as she angrily followed.

"..."

Shen Cui had ordered a restaurant for the two of them, but the distance between the restaurant and the mansion was not far. It was only five minutes before the bus arrived.

Since the man's legs weren't fully recovered yet, Shen Shuo drove the two of them to the door before turning back.

When they got out of the car, Pei Luoyi casually asked if they should eat together. She didn't want him to come and pick them up later, so they would go back and forth.

Shen Cui looked at the woman who was being stared at with narrowed eyes, not knowing what was going on, before smiling dryly as he refused.

As soon as the car drove away, Pai Luoyi realized that the atmosphere wasn't right. Before she could turn around, the man who was standing beside her had already walked up the stairs and entered the restaurant.

She was depressed. She didn't know where in the world she had made this great Buddha unhappy again.

She ran to catch up. No matter how she called out, the man didn't stop to wait for her.

"Your leg is injured, but you still ran away so fast. I won't kill you."

After silently cursing, Pei Luoyi supported the man up the wooden stairs to the second floor.

Perhaps it was due to the unpleasant experience of eating Western food at the seabed restaurant, or perhaps it was due to the fact that she was not very keen on Western food. Perhaps it was due to the unpleasant experience of eating Western food at the seabed restaurant, or perhaps it was due to the fact that it was due to the fact that it was due to the unpleasantness of eating Western food at the seabed restaurant.

The consequence of her slow pace was that by the time she reached the second floor, the man was already gone.

He looked around one by one and finally found him. He was holding a cup of tea and was leisurely ordering dishes on the menu.

Since there was a waiter by her side, Pei Luoyi could only sit down across from the man in a huff.

The sound of him pulling out a chair and sitting down resounded in the quiet environment. The man cast a sidelong glance at her, but didn't say anything. After ordering the dishes, he closed the menu and handed it to the waiter.

In the completely quiet atmosphere, the silence between the two of them was even more strange.

Pei Luoyi imitated the man as he leisurely sipped on a cup of tea. His pair of eyes, which contained a mysterious light, narrowed as he looked at the man in front of him.

However, after she stared at him for a long time, the man still remained unmoved. It was as if he had sunk into some sort of deep thought.
