Tired.

He was tired, and so was his body.

Twice in the kitchen, Saunders had to deal with a sensitive woman who always thought she was plotting to take her husband away.

Pei Luoyi was exhausted to the point of exhaustion. All he wanted to do was to soak in a bath, then roll onto the bed and sleep comfortably.

However, there was still a free Buddha in the living room who had not been invited away. No matter how tired she was, she could only muster up her spirit to deal with it.

She held the door open and stood up. When she walked to the coffee table, the man seemed to have already started eating. It seemed that he had been waiting for her for a long time.

In fact, Gong Yan quickly finished the bowl of noodles. The taste of the noodles was not bad, just by looking at it, one could tell that a woman had never considered the appetite of an adult man.

"Have you finished eating the noodles? "If there's anything else, just say it, Mister Gong. I've been very tired these past few days, so I'm really looking forward to getting some rest."

The meaning behind his words should not be too obvious.

Pei Luoyi returned to her seat on the praying mat and sat down. She looked at the man across her and then glanced at the bowl that she had just finished. Her eyebrows shot up. She thought that the man would despise her for cooking, but he actually finished it.

Hearing that, Gong Yan looked up from the screen and sent out the edited text message. Then, he turned off the screen and put the phone back into his pocket.

With a slight turn of his head, the bodyguard quickly handed the black metal cane to him, as if he was finally going to leave.

Pei Luoyi looked at the man propping himself up with the walking stick, and then slowly said to her, "I'll come pick you up at 9 o'clock tomorrow and take note of your documents."

When she heard this, she was confused, and her face showed a confused expression. "Wh …" "What kind of ID?"

"Household book, ID card."

The man seemed to be extremely impatient with her, his eyes holding a hint of anger. "Pei Luoyi, even if you've never eaten pork before, you've seen a pig run, right? What do you need to sign up for a marriage that you haven't even heard of? "

How could she have thought of marrying?

She had not even fully accepted and admitted to herself that she had married this man.

She had been forced to sign the contract, but it had only been written in black and white.

But getting married... Write your name on a small red book and print the name of another man you don't love at all.

It was as if the meaning was different. It was as if something that was illusory had turned into something real and substantial.

The colour of her blood gradually faded from her cheeks. Pei Luoyi did not want to make it too obvious, but the stiff expression on her face was something anyone could see at a glance.

She purposely avoided the man's gaze for a long time before raising her head again, meeting the gaze that was looking down at her from above.

"Um, can you do it in a few days …" I have to go to work tomorrow, so I may not have time. "

When the man heard her words, his expression didn't change in the slightest. Only, that pair of black eyes that were as deep as the sea stared deeply at her.

Pei Luoyi felt that her heart was a little weak. Facing that kind of gaze, she always felt as if she had been seen through. That little bit of thought was unable to hide from the eyes of a man.

However, in order to avoid being discovered, she could only forcefully endure the man's gaze.

"I advise you not to have even the slightest thought of running away from such a farce."

After a long while, a low voice slowly sounded, "The things written down in the contract, whether it is you or your family, I think you all cannot afford it."

Pei Luoyi blinked. A trace of doubt flashed through her eyes, but more importantly, the fear that was etched into her heart by every single word from a man.

He didn't look like someone who would joke around.

"If …" She swallowed her saliva because she was too nervous, her clear eyes were filled with uneasiness, "I mean if …" I fled abroad... "What will happen?"

She did think about this plan on the way back from the Thousand Islands, and she also knew that if she decided on this plan, she must be quick. Otherwise, with a man's power, she would probably be caught before she reached the airport.

Unfortunately, she still had hope in her heart for that laughable family love, and had hoped so much to return to the Pei household.

The result was that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Looking at the woman's distracted appearance, Gong Yan was keenly aware that the woman's aura had changed. However, he had no way of knowing why.

It was her question that confirmed some of his conjectures.

For example, this woman might have really thought of escaping overseas, thinking that she could escape this way.

However, she should be secretly glad that she didn't make such a foolish decision. Otherwise, he wouldn't know if he could be as merciful as he was last time. It would only be an afternoon.

"What will happen?"

Gong Yan's eyelids drooped down, his gaze lightly landed on a certain place, the expression on his face was mild, but for no reason it gave off a feeling of chills.

"I think you'd better not know."

Pei Luoyi was stunned for a long while before she nodded and said, "I understand."

"Tomorrow at 9 o'clock right? I'll remember that. If there's nothing else, Mister Gong, please go back and rest early. Please don't send me off too far."

Throw him away?

The man's deep black eyes narrowed as he examined the woman's calm face with a dark expression.

She seemed to be very afraid of him, but she also didn't like him, so she had to put up with the psychological pressure in order to chase him away as soon as possible?

Although Pei Luoyi appeared to be smiling leisurely, but since the man had no intention of moving, she was too embarrassed to speak any further. That would be too obvious.

But he didn't go, and her face was sour with laughter.

"Hmph."

A cold snort that sounded like it was filled with dissatisfaction came out of the man's throat.

Then, the three of them finally walked out of the gate.

As soon as she left, she collapsed weakly onto the sofa, like a punctured ball that had been deflated.

After a while, he got up and went to the bedroom to find some pajamas to take a bath.

After a comfortable shower, perhaps because she had taken a nap, she did not feel much drowsiness.

Thinking of something that had always been on her mind, she took out her cellphone and walked out of her bedroom onto the balcony.

The call was quickly connected.

Pei Luoyi disappeared for two to three days, so naturally, she was caught and asked a few questions before she got to the point.

"By the way, I'd like to ask, do you remember a personal exhibition we had in Pericles? The admission registration for that exhibition should still be kept, right? "

It was hard to tell what the other side said, but Pei Luoyi's brows were knitted together. There was a sense of helplessness and a sense of unwillingness in her tone.

"I understand. If you can still find it, remember to inform me immediately. Sorry for troubling you."

After hanging up, he felt really tired.

Pei Luoyi then fell back onto the bed, hugging the pillow. Not long after, she fell into a deep sleep.
