When Gong Yan returned to the living room on the first floor, he saw the woman lying on the sofa. She was covered with a thin blanket, her head resting on the arm of the sofa, sleeping soundly.

As he approached, he saw that she showed no sign of waking, and his handsome brow furrowed slightly.

His tall and straight body blocked the bright light reflected by the crystal chandelier, casting a shadow on the woman's body.

Her hair, long as seaweed, was lying slightly unkempt under her head, making her features, with their pale, delicate skin, seem sweeter and sweeter.

Gong Yan looked at it, his pair of dark eyes were filled with a deep black color, while his firm chin tightened, forming a cold and hard line.

He seemed to have sensed that the atmosphere around him was not right, or perhaps the man's gaze was too focused, so deep that it was impossible to ignore.

Pei Luoyi's eyes suddenly opened after a few slight movements of her long, curling eyelashes.

In an instant, he met the pair of eyes that were as deep as an ancient well above his head.

Pei Luoyi subconsciously quivered as she tried to get up from the sofa hurriedly. However, she did not expect that her body was covered by a blanket and was lying flat on the ground with her face flat on the ground.

She got up again and gave the man a vicious eye knife, "I say, Mr. Gong, why are you so close to me when I'm sleeping? Do you know that when normal people wake up and see a pair of eyes staring at them, they will be scared to death? "

"Are you scared to death now? I think you're more alive than anyone. "

The man, as mean as ever, gave her a sidelong glance and sat down next to her.

It was unknown whether the servants' food was salty tonight, or whether the strange feeling from his chest just now had annoyed him. Gong Yan glanced at the tea table, which seemed to be filled with tea that he had never tasted before, and reached his hand out to grab it.

Seeing this, Pei Luoyi took a deep breath and said, "I drank that before."

The fingertip that had touched the rim of the cup clearly paused.

Pei Luoyi then saw the man's brows furrow in disgust. His fingers instantly changed directions as he picked up the teapot and poured another cup.

He despised her? Or was he very disdainful?

Pei Luoyi was depressed, extremely depressed.

She reminded him because she was afraid that he would drink the tea that she had drunk, but he actually looked at her with disdain, as if the cup would dirty his hands. She felt an indescribable displeasure in her heart!

"How long do you want to sit there? Or are you planning to spend the night on this sofa? "

Pei Luoyi was depressed to the point that her chest hurt. Only when the man spoke did she regain her senses.

"Oh, wait till I find my shoes."

At some point, the man had stood up to leave. Pei Luoyi hurriedly lifted the blanket off her body, and the instant her foot landed on the carpet, she felt a sharp pain. She suddenly remembered that when she returned to the living room, the servant kindly drugged her foot and even bandaged it.

She will … I'm afraid it would be difficult even to get in the car at the door.

Gong Yan's gaze was always on her face, and he still saw her face when she went down to the ground. He looked down naturally, and then his eyes fell on the bandaged little feet.

The back of his foot was wrapped in bandages, revealing only his small, smooth toes, curled up in pain.

Pei Luoyi raised her head as a dry smile appeared on her face. She glanced at the two bodyguards who were waiting for them at the entrance and opened her mouth, "Mister Gong, your bodyguard …. "Mhmm, he's quite strong. I won't be able to stand on the ground anymore. Can I make him …"

"No." Gong Yan answered without thinking.

The smile on her face instantly faded, and her pretty eyebrows became twitching.

"Mr. Gong, you don't have to be so stingy, right? I'm a lady, so... Can't you be a gentleman? "I didn't ask you to hug me …"

She stared at the man's eyes, which were getting colder and heavier. At the end of her sentence, she stopped talking.

Stingy, hmph, she doesn't care.

With the determination to die out of pain in her arms, Pei Loyi descended to the ground. Just as she was about to find her shoes and put them on, a long and powerful arm suddenly wrapped around her waist.

When she finally reacted, the man was already carrying her towards the door.

Pei Luoyi's soft abdomen was pushed back by the man's firm shoulders. It was truly a sore spot. "Put me down!" I can walk by myself! "

"If you move again, do you believe that I'll throw you onto the ground?"

The man's cold voice rang out. Pei Luoyi looked down at the ground two meters away from her, and her entire body froze into a wooden statue.

As he walked out of the door, he heard a woman's urgent shout from above, "Wait!"

Unable to bear it any longer, the man's veins could clearly be seen pulsing on his forehead. "Pei Luoyi, you'd better have something urgent to do. Otherwise, don't blame me for making you scram from here."

As he said this, Gong Yan was about to walk down the marble steps.

"My shoes... It's still inside. "

Of course, Pei Luoyi knew that this wasn't an extremely urgent matter. How could a man, who was the emperor of a merchant kingdom, possibly care about a pair of shoes?

As a result, she tactfully shut her mouth, trembling in fear at the danger of falling to the ground at any moment.

Surprisingly, the man was silent for a moment before turning around with her on his shoulder.

Pei Luoyi heard him instruct the bodyguard behind her, "Go get her shoes."

"Yes, Young Master Gong."

With that, Gong Yan carried her down the stairs and roughly stuffed her into the carriage.

The moment she sat up, the bodyguard carrying her shoes had already turned back around. He handed her her shoes and then took the black metal cane from the man's hand.

The crutches.

Right, didn't he have an operation on his foot? Then just now …

She was not that fat, but she was still an adult. To be able to carry several kilograms on a person with a defect in his legs was truly strange to her.

Pei Luoyi's expression turned tense. She pursed her lips and looked at the man who was resting with his eyes closed. Her gaze shifted down to his long legs, which were wrapped in a bag of trousers.

"Mister Gong …"

The man opened his eyes. With a hint of impatience, he asked, "Are you not going to stop?"

Pei Luoyi shut her mouth and thought of an uneasy place. She mumbled for a while before asking, "Your leg …" Are you all right? Sorry. "

After a pause, she lowered her eyes and said, "Actually, you can get the bodyguards to help you."

The dark eyes stared at her coldly, as if searching for something.

"My leg is crippled, not crippled. Put away that fake guilt."

She listened to him for a long time.

How is it fake?

Pei Luoyi felt depressed. Could it be that her concern was also wrong?

Filled with prejudice towards her, put some unwarranted accusation on her head.

Seeing that the man didn't seem to pay any attention to her, she didn't want to bring ridicule onto herself, so she stuck her hot face against his cold butt.

He turned around and looked at the scenery outside the car window.
