C97 The Warmth in the Movie
"Mrs Zhang!" Xiao Yichen glared at Mrs Zhang. His tone was cold and displeased. Mrs Zhang could only keep her mouth shut and stop walking. She looked at Xiao Yichen as he went upstairs.
It was as if a long time had passed. Pei Luoluo quietly ate the dishes one bite at a time. There was no expression on her face, and she did not feel wronged.
Mrs Zhang saw that she could not speak and was still stifled. Her heart was also stifled.
"Young Grandmother, Young Master has been very particular about eating since he was young. He is not used to eating things like us. He is not targeting you. It will be fine after a long time. Don't give up."
Pei Luoluo swallowed the food in her mouth and nodded slightly. However, no one noticed that a drop of inconspicuous pearl light fell into Pei Luoluo's bowl and disappeared in an instant.
The nine dishes lasted for a long time. This meant that Pei Luoluo racked her brains to match them. Pei Luoluo prepared for the entire afternoon. No one helped her. She was the one who cooked them bit by bit. Even though her hands were injured, she still made them slowly. She had also thought that Xiao Yichen would not come back to eat. She did not expect that what he had done was even more hurtful than not coming back to eat.
In the middle of the night, the lights on top of the second floor lit up. Someone walked into the kitchen, took out dinner from the fridge, and placed it in the microwave.
Pei Luoluo, who was hiding in the dark, felt the cold wind through the window on her already wet and cold cheeks. She slightly raised her head and made a sound towards the sky, but in the end, it was futile.
The vibration of the phone cut open the quiet and cold air. It penetrated through the loneliness and woke Pei Luoluo up from her low mood. She lowered her head and opened the text message. The sender, Zhang Chen.
Are you asleep? '
No, Master didn't sleep either? "
Don't try to make a sound at your throat. It will affect the self-healing of your vocal cords.
Pei Luoluo stared at the screen for a long time. She got up and turned on the light to look around. She did not find any monitoring equipment and sat back on the bed. The other party had already sent another message.
Don't look anymore. I am not monitoring you.
How do you know what I am doing?
This time Pei Luoluo waited for a while before she received a message. It was a photo. Zhang Chen sat in front of the computer desk. The dark yellow light shone on his haggard face as he faced the camera. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
Because I know you. If you don't reply for a long time, you will definitely find evidence.
Seeing this, Pei Luoluo grinned and laughed without a sound.
When are you going to adjust yourself and follow me to Gulangyu? Zhang Chen casually lifted her up again. Pei Luoluo's fingers caressed the bright screen and did not reply.
The other party did not seem to be in a hurry. Just like that, the two people in the distance held their phones tightly and did not take the initiative to speak again.
Suddenly, Pei Luoluo saw that the light on the second floor had lit up. Her room was the furthest away and she originally could not see it. It was just that her room was too dark. The light from the second floor just so happened to have thin and long beams of light shooting in.
Secretly walking to the door, Pei Luoluo gently twisted the door handle and saw a tall black shadow walking down the fan-shaped spiral staircase.
In the blink of an eye, Pei Luoluo rested at home for more than half a month. It was also close to the New Year and her throat did not recover as Farak had said. It was just that her throat did not hurt that much, so Pei Luoluo was not in a hurry either. She still cooked at home every day, but she was smart enough to learn from the chefs to cook Xiao Yichen's favorite French meal. She was the one cooking breakfast and dinner.
However, the result was the same. She was either ignored by Xiao Yichen or thrown aside by him. Sometimes, she would even throw all of them into the rubbish bin in front of him, leaving nothing behind.
"Young Grandmother, let's go back to Xiao house today." Mrs Zhang let Yuko Koda prepare two sets of clothes for Pei Luoluo and let Uncle Lee carry the box. She reminded, "Young Grandmother, Master Xiao is a good person, but his temper is a bit strange. If Young Master makes him unhappy again, you should advise him from the side. Also, Madam and Master have very good temperament. Besides the madam who thinks highly of people, the people of Xiao family are all very easy to get along with."
Pei Luoluo heard Mrs Zhang's words and felt warm in her heart. She knew that besides Grandpa Xiao and Father Xiao, Zhao Jingjing treated her well and other people basically did not like her.
Zhao Jingjing was an exception, although her mother, Xiao Hui, was a member of the Xiao family. However, she also married someone and followed her husband. She no longer liked Pei Luoluo. But with Zhao Jingjing suppressing her, she did not treat herself too badly. Furthermore, Pei Luoluo had once taught Zhao Jingjing at home. Indeed, Zhao Jingjing's results made her rank in the top 1,000 of the entire grade suddenly fly to the top 50. Therefore, Xiao Hui did not make things difficult for her, but she also did not like her.
'I got it, Mrs Zhang. ' We'll be back the day after tomorrow. Pei Luoluo wrote down the note and stuffed it into Mrs Zhang's hands. She hurriedly followed Xiao Yichen out of the door and got into the car.
"When we reach Xiao house later, don't take out your pen and paper. Don't make a sound and return to your room after dinner. I have something to do tonight, so I won't be back. " Xiao Yichen's eyes were cold as he drove, as if he was giving orders. Pei Luoluo, who was in the cold car, bit her lower lip and lowered her eyes. She did not give any reply.
"You are mute, right? Are you deaf? Listen up, no matter what they ask you, don't say anything! Act well for me. Go back, I'll let you see Guo Sheng'an."
When Pei Luoluo heard this name, there was a flash of surprise in her eyes. Very quickly, she looked up at Xiao Yichen and took out a pen and paper to write something. She patted Xiao Yichen's shoulder to signal him to stop first.
After turning the steering wheel, Xiao Yichen frowned unhappily and took Pei Luoluo's note. Are you serious? '
Xiao Yichen sneered and threw the note into the wind. "I am serious!"
Pei Luoluo received a few text messages when she walked into the Xiao family. One of them was from Zhao Haoxun, whom she had not contacted for a long time. Happy New Year, I will return to the country.
Pei Luoluo's heart skipped a beat, as if she had fallen into a bottomless pit. She felt a little uneasy.
In principle, it was not complicated at all for her to have a direct relationship with Zhao Haoxun. However, she did not know when it would start. She felt that as long as Zhao Haoxun appeared... No matter what occasion or place it was, she felt like she was a thief in her heart. Panic and uneasiness filled her heart.
"Don't get distracted! Put away your phone!" Her voice was low and slightly cold, but it also pulled Pei Luoluo, who had slightly lost her mind, back.
That's right. This time, it was even more important to consider whether she could cooperate with Xiao Yichen to act as a loving husband and wife.
I have no problem. Don't screw up the act. In the end, Pei Luoluo typed out these words on her phone and put the phone into her bag. She then pulled the lock.
During the New Year's Eve dinner, Xiao house was not as lively and lively as ordinary families. But it was also much better than Pei Luoluo's first time going to that kind of hot and cold atmosphere.
It was just that she did not expect that Xiao Yichen and Pei Luoluo would be the last to arrive.
