C245 The Price of Loss

Mrs Zhang could tell that the couple was having an argument the moment they entered the room, so she knew how to look at people. She would not go and hit the gun at a time like this to make Xiao Yichen unhappy.

However, Pei Luoluo was obviously not right. Her face was flushed red, and she walked unsteadily. She looked listless, and she did not drink. No matter how one looked at it, she seemed to be sick.

"Sick?" Xiao Yichen was stunned at first. Then the corner of his mouth twitched. He frowned and looked at Mrs Zhang in confusion.

"Why don't you let me go and see..." Before Mrs Zhang finished speaking, she saw that Xiao Yichen had already called.

"I will give you ten minutes, Junyi World!"

Mrs Zhang pursed her lips as if she was secretly laughing. She lowered her head and turned her face away.

Ten minutes. From the city center, even if they drove their horses, they would not be able to reach Junyi World, which was a paradise. So by the time Frank rushed over, almost half an hour had passed.

"What's the situation? Who's in trouble?" Frank was carrying a medical kit. His hair was still messy, and he was wearing a white shirt and brown pants. As soon as he entered, he shouted at Xiao Yichen, who was standing not far away from the door.

Mrs Zhang hurriedly ran out of Pei Luoluo's room. She ran to the living room and whispered to Frank, who had just arrived, "39 degrees. Young Grandmother's fever is 39 degrees!"

Suddenly, the two men standing in the living room looked at each other in surprise. Xiao Yichen was the first to react and quickly rushed towards Pei Luoluo's room.

Frank, who did not know the precondition, was a little stunned. Was there a need to be so excited after having a fever?

Pei Luoluo slept deeply on the bed. She only slightly raised her eyelids to look at the person who came. Her sleepiness made her not want to say another word. She wanted to call them out to sleep quietly for a while. In the end, she felt that her body was carried by someone. Then, her back was pressed against a strong chest. Her entire body was surrounded by that familiar warm and light fragrance.

"I'll give you a check-up. You lean against me and sleep." His voice was very pleasant and pleasant, just like a warm spring water slowly flowing through his heart, flowing into the deepest part.

And this short cold war was also resolved by Pei Luoluo's sudden illness.

When Frank left, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Because Pei Luoluo was pregnant, there were many medicines that Pei Luoluo could not take, so the prescription was basically filled with medicine.

"It's not much of a problem. I think she has gotten cold. On this day, the weather was not normal, and it was very easy for her to get sick. As for you, why are you making such a big fuss about it?"

Seeing that Xiao Yichen did not answer, he just sat on the sofa with a frown and smoked a cigar. He even forgot to shake off the ashes.

Frank sensed that something was wrong. He got up and walked to Xiao Yichen's side, patted his shoulder, and said with concern, "What's wrong? You are not frowning like you."

Xiao Yichen did not say anything. He looked at the quiet scenery outside the window and sighed. He said slowly, "Catherine is back."

His voice was as emotionless as his expression. However, when he heard that person, his face could not help but be filled with excitement.

"You, are you sure?" Frank asked in a trembling voice, but the answer he got was Xiao Yichen's gloomy face.

This made Frank somewhat confused.

Catherine woke up. What was wrong with this pair of lovers who had been separated for a year? He was excited, but that was his own little idea, but he was also happy for Xiao Yichen on the surface.

He had to go to the United States for a few days every month, no matter how busy he was. If it was not because he could not give up, if it was not because of the longing in his heart, could it be that he had gone crazy and found trouble to watch a sleeping person? Was it fun?

"Xiao Yichen, is your brain damaged too?" Frank cleared his throat and took a sip of the water that Mrs Zhang had soaked in. Tie Guanyin calmly looked at Xiao Yichen, whose expression was getting uglier and uglier.

"Frank, Catherine wants me to go back to England with her. I refused." Xiao Yichen's voice was very soft and heavy. Just like how he was looking at the little flame burning on the cigarette butt, his ink-black cold eyes were not affected at all.

"Don't tell me it's because of the woman in your room. Xiao Yichen, this is nonsense! If she doesn't know the purpose of your marriage, do you still not know?

Your grandfather should also fulfill his promise now, and half of the shares given to her will be yours after the marriage. This was clearly written in the contract that he gave Su Li back then. The other half would be her betrothal gift, which could also be considered as a gift for marrying into the Xiao family. I don't understand. Her value is only this much. Do you really have to put in so much effort?"

Although Frank's voice wasn't loud, he could tell that he was very angry. He couldn't read Xiao Yichen's mind, and he didn't believe that they would be able to create such a huge spark in such a short period of time.

He had seen how Xiao Yichen treated Pei Luoluo coldly. It was impossible for him to be more important than Catherine in such a short period of time.

However, this time, it seemed like Xiao Yichen didn't want to talk about this topic. He crossed his legs and turned his body sideways. His deep black eyes were like a deep and dark lake at the bottom of the sea. He couldn't see through his emotions, so he just looked at Frank.

Frank felt all the pores on his body open up and cold sweat broke out. He did not say anything more and just wanted to walk away. "Say hello to her for me. Tell her that I will treat her to a meal another day."

After saying that, Frank carried his medical kit and left the villa with a wave of his hand.

"Why would I do that?" Xiao Yichen said to himself. The sparks between his fingers were instantly extinguished by him.

In the study on the second floor, Xiao Yichen walked to the bookshelf and found that the cabinet was not locked. He frowned and thought about it. It was the last time when he estimated that the divorce agreement was released. He happened to receive a phone call from Mechanics and forgot to go out in a hurry.

Just as he wanted to take it out and take a look, he was stopped by a knock on the door behind him.

"Young Master, Mr. Zhao is here."

"Ask him to wait in the living room." Xiao Yichen glanced at the bookshelf coldly. This time, he carefully locked it.

Xiao Yichen did not like guests who came to visit in the middle of the night. No one really came to provoke him, except for the man who was leisurely sipping tea in front of him.

Zhao Haoxun smiled when he saw Xiao Yichen. "Actually, we have overlooked an important problem. No matter how powerful the Xiao family is, we have to maintain stability and expansion. Although our own shares are important, we still need to be more flexible.

I am only here to say hello to you. If you choose Pei Luoluo, then the person I will marry is Catherine. This business marriage should be more valuable than you, Xiao Yichen, taking over the Xiao's, right? The Xiao family's business was huge, and the royal family could not be underestimated. Xiao Yichen... We'll wait and see."

After saying that, Zhao Haoxun walked towards the gate without looking back. It was as if he had come to announce that no matter which side Xiao Yichen chose, he would be prepared. Catherine was the key, and it all depended on Xiao Yichen's decision.
