C128 A Hidden Secret
Xiao Yichen looked at it for a long time. Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on his lips. His entire body was immersed in the sunlight. The coldness that he was used to seemed to have become gentle and warm at this moment.
"Mrs Zhang, don't wipe this part of the floor-to-ceiling window." Xiao Yichen called Mrs Zhang and pointed at the place where the row of small words just occupied and said softly.
Mrs Zhang was old and did not know what Young Master was doing. She nodded and thought that whatever Young Master said would be what he said.
After they hurriedly expressed that they understood, Mrs Zhang went to the back hall to greet the servants. Only Xiao Yichen was left in the living room, and he was still staring at the line of words.
"Yechen, we have agreed that when we meet again, you must recognize me! When I become a beauty, big brother must keep his word!"
"En! No matter what the fat girl becomes, big brother will not forget you!"
He remembered that after so many years, Xiao Yichen had never forgotten in his heart.
Although he kept telling himself in his heart that he hated this woman, because of his grandfather's arrangement, he lost the right to make decisions for him. He had chosen the path for the future, and even the marriage! The main culprit was the fat girl who had deliberately gotten close to him at that time!
However, after he had come into contact with Pei Luoluo, he only had that pure and happy impression in his mind until now.
That memory was deeply imprinted in the deepest part of Xiao Yichen's heart, and it also allowed him to recognize the fat girl, Pei Luoluo, at the university's freshmen speech at first glance.
At that time, she had already picked quite a number of people, and her immaturity had also transformed into a woman with a bit of charm. Whether it was her speech or her thoughts, they had all become completely different from the one she had when she was young.
The only thing that did not change was her persistent pursuit of him. It was only at that time that Pei Luoluo would become somewhat childish and cute. She would even be a completely different person from her usual self.
"Young Master?" No one knew when Mrs Zhang had already stood beside Xiao Yichen. She looked at him in surprise.
Xiao Yichen raised his hand to rub the space between his eyebrows. He was unable to recover from the memories that he had unknowingly sunk into.
"What is it?" Xiao Yichen walked to the glass table and lit a cigar. He lightly blew out a cigarette and said.
Seeing Xiao Yichen come back to his senses, Mrs Zhang was first stunned. Then she pointed at the phone on the table with a dazed look and said, "Your phone has been ringing for a long time."
Looking at the phone lying quietly on the table, before he could reach out to take the phone, it rang again. He looked up and saw that the caller ID was Fat Pei. She unconsciously raised a faint smile on her face.
"Why..."
"Hubby! I'm going to be late! Quickly send a helicopter over!" On the other end of the phone was Pei Luoluo's loud shout. The empty voice could tell that Pei Luoluo was still on the way to the public car.
This stretch of road would take at least 20 minutes to get to the bus station. There were basically very few cars and people on this road. The greenery was done very well. There were trees, flowers, and a fountain. However, if a person had to walk like this every day, then it would always be the same person. There would always be a sense of unease.
It was most likely because Pei Luoluo was bored again. This woman seemed to have become very different in the past two days. She lost her former quietness and became fond of making a fuss, laughing, and torturing.
If it was in the past, Xiao Yichen would definitely have hung up the phone or coldly stabbed her a few times. However, it was unknown if it was because he had not recovered from the shock just now. Those emotional memories had poured into his brain too much. He had asked him to be merciful and listen to a few more words.
"Hey, hey! Hubby, did you hear that? Aiya, a car is coming. I'm hanging up, I'm hanging up! " Pei Luoluo seemed to be talking to herself. Then, Xiao Yichen heard the voice of the bus stop. Next was the busy sound of Pei Luoluo hanging up without his permission.
In fact, from the moment Pei Luoluo used her lips to say those few words, the sound of her heart beating kept hitting her heart. Her brain and hearing were all able to hear that deafening sound, as if other than that heartbeat. She could not hear anything else.
However, she knew very well that with her understanding of Xiao Yichen, if she continued to lead her own life without doing anything with Mrs Xiao's title, it would only increase Xiao Yichen's tiredness towards her. As long as she avenged her family, she should pack up and leave. At that time, Xiao Yichen would definitely not have any feelings for her.
If that was the case, Pei Luoluo would definitely be unwilling to accept it. She would not be so selfless to the extent that she had loved a man for more than ten years. Under the circumstances that she did not want to fight, he still had to hand him over to her with both hands.
Although they had met again after three years, they had changed a lot. However, her personality and habits would not change too much. It was precisely because of this that... Pei Luoluo wanted to use this opportunity to redefine her position in Xiao Yichen's heart.
However, she would not really think of replacing anyone, nor would she think of monopolizing Xiao Yichen. She just wanted to give it a try. After she had done her best, she didn't want to think about it one day, that a person's life would be in this lifetime. It was hard for a man to show deep love and hatred that could be carved into his bones. Only a person who was truly as sharp as a bone could make himself unable to stop. Love and hate interweaved.
So Pei Luoluo did not think that in the end, the marriage that she had loved for so long, which she had fought for with great difficulty, would leave behind regrets in the end.
If she could stay with them for a longer period of time, leaving behind some beautiful memories and doing some things that an ordinary couple could do, it would be enough for Pei Luoluo.
However, when she first compromised, Xiao Yichen took the initiative to propose a bargaining chip to help her get revenge. Therefore, even if Pei Luoluo treated him sincerely, to Xiao Yichen, she had other motives and had a motive.
Once one thing was determined and the truth was more or less taken over, no matter how much effort was put in, it would only become redundant, and there would only be empty talk.
Just like now, Pei Luoluo was sincere to Xiao Yichen, but in Xiao Yichen's eyes, it had become that she only did this because she had a request. She only used all her strength to cure him because she wanted something from him. That was why she obeyed him and did not resist, trying to please him.
Perhaps it was love in the past, or perhaps it was true love in the past, but now... Xiao Yichen felt that Pei Luoluo was the same as him. She was just a 'partner' who had their own motives tied together for the sake of each other's interests. Other than this, she was nothing else.
When she thought of this, Pei Luoluo could not help but feel a little sad. She had just finished putting on a good show, but after hanging up the phone, she looked at the bustling people coming and going outside the window. The corners of her mouth could no longer be lifted up like before.
"Director Xiao, Director Han has an appointment with you today at 10: 30 in the morning. Are you free?" Lee Xue looked at the time. It was 9: 10 in the morning. Xiao Yichen had not come to the company yet, so she called to ask about the situation.
Actually, Xiao Yichen rarely went to the company. He usually stayed at his own company in Nightless City.
