C30

Pei Luoyi fell on the back seat, his head was in a mess from the fall.

She drew in a breath of chagrin and crawled out of the backseat, ruffling her disheveled hair and jabbing the man's face a hundred times in her mind.

Couldn't this man tell her to come to the back seat? Talking more would kill him?

The car door behind them slammed shut.

She turned her head and looked out of the window. The man was standing in front of her, his lips moving as if he was saying something.

She pursed her lips and withdrew her gaze.

Outside the car.

Su Qizhi tightly clenched the bag in her hands, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. In front of a man, she was always very uneasy.

There was always a cautious and humble tone in his tone, "It's fine, I'll drive over myself."

Gong Yan nodded and didn't insist. He turned around and opened the car door, getting into the back seat.

It wasn't until the black Rolls-Royce was out of the garage that Suzy slowly walked over to her white Maserati, opened the door, and got in the driver's seat.

He didn't start the engine right away.

She sat in the driver's seat, staring blankly ahead, her knuckles resting on the steering wheel, gradually tightening with the thoughts running through her head.

His eyes were red and filled with tears that were about to fall.

It landed in the blink of an eye.

A cold wetness flashed across her face before she finally became a little more clear-headed.

Realizing that she had lost her composure, her slender fingers helplessly wiped away the tears on her face. Then, she took a tissue to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

When she was sure there were no traces, she started the car.

The Mercedes was in the Rolls-Royce on the road.

A strange silence permeated the atmosphere.

Pei Luoyi played a little game with her cell phone and was extremely happy. It was unknown if she really didn't have anything to ask or was just waiting for the man to speak.

He leaned back against the leather chair, one hand on the fully open window, his bony knuckles pressed against his forehead. His eyebrows were slightly lowered as he watched the young woman's small expression, which alternated between a frown and a smile.

Her eyes were calm, as if she did not want to ask, and he was too lazy to.

In any case, she had a request for him now, so even if she didn't say anything, she had to continue acting along with him.

She maintained this silence until the first game ended. When she saw the words "Failed" on the screen, she suddenly lost interest and stuffed her phone back into her bag.

"Mr. Gong," she tilted her head, leaned her head against the back of the chair, and cast a sidelong glance at the man. "In addition to helping you fawn on your elders, I also have to cooperate with you to show your love in front of others.

Gong Yan turned his head to the side, glancing at her indifferently. His finger that was supporting his head slid down from his forehead to his cheek, "If you need help, you have to pay a price. Miss Pei, you also know that Burrich's paintings are not cheap."

At the end of his words, an extremely faint smile appeared on his lips, revealing a arrogance that held victory within its grasp.

Pei Luoyi subconsciously creased her forehead as her jaw tensed.

Wasn't it because he was certain that she wanted the painting that he was able to do whatever he wanted?

This man was the only clue she had after looking for that painting for so long. He … He could really do whatever he wanted.

Pei Luoyi faintly sighed and turned her body to the side, no longer looking at the man's smiling face.

He remained silent all the way until he reached the restaurant.

The meal was for the young miss of the Su Clan, so she was naturally the one to choose the restaurant.

He chose a restaurant with a rather obscure name. It was a rather tasteful place, with old wood decor and a touch of antiquity.

The three of them sat by the window.

Perhaps because it was past the peak time for lunch, the restaurant was not crowded at that time.

Su Zhizhi opened the menu handed over by the waiter, then inadvertently raised her head to look at the man sitting opposite her, and gently suggested, "The seafood in this restaurant is not bad, how about we order some?"

He was talking to the two men, but his questioning gaze was focused on the man.

Gong Yan didn't look at the menu and met the woman's questioning gaze. He raised his head and looked straight at her, "I'm sorry, Miss Su. I have an allergy to seafood."

His voice was flat and direct, with no hint of rebuke in it.

Even so, Su Qizhi was still stunned for a moment. The smile on her face turned into a little embarrassed as she hid it, "Yes …" "Is that so?"

When Pei Luoyi heard the man's words, she stopped flipping through the menu and turned her head to look at him, her eyes filled with astonishment.

How did he know she was allergic to seafood?

It wasn't hard to know, but she probably hadn't told him either, right?

She thought it over in her mind, but she could not find the possibility of her saying such words.

Unless... When he was investigating her, by the way.

Pei Luoyi thought to herself as she narrowed her eyes. Was it necessary to investigate her to such an extent?

"I'm sorry, Miss Pei. I didn't know you couldn't eat seafood."

Pei Luoyi was still in a daze, and Suzhi's words pulled her back.

Seeing the apologetic look in her eyes, Pei Luoyi shrugged her shoulders to show that she didn't mind, "It's alright. If you like it, you can order it. I won't eat it."

"Then... Miss Pei, what do you like to eat? Apart from seafood, the taste of the other dishes in this restaurant is also quite good. We can order something else. "

"Okay, let me take a look."

Pei Luoyi picked up the menu and flipped through a few pages. Before she could say anything, the orderly voice of a man suddenly rang out from beside her.

As she listened, she realized that it was the names of the dishes she loved to eat.

The lake remained calm, but it was as if a gentle breeze had brushed past, causing ripples to appear on its surface.

Pei Luoyi stared blankly at him for quite some time before turning to look at the man beside her.

"How do you know I like these dishes?"

If she hadn't reacted in time and had an outsider present, this question would have escaped her lips.

He knew what she couldn't eat and what she liked to eat.

If it wasn't for the fact that this man had treated her so maliciously, Pei Luoyi would have had reason to suspect that he hadn't investigated her in detail because he liked her.

This was too abnormal!

After Gong Yan finished ordering the dishes, he looked up at Su Zhizhi, "That's all, do you have anything else to add?"

The finger holding the menu trembled slightly. After a while, she closed the menu and lightly replied, "No, that's all."

With that, he handed the menu over to the waiter.

The waiter nodded, put away the menu, and turned away.

Su Qizhi bit her lower lip, her mind was in a mess, and her face revealed a trace of abnormal paleness.

If she hadn't estimated her image in front of the man, she would have just interrupted her meal and left without hesitation.

But, after months of hard work and the courage she had gathered with great difficulty, she couldn't just leave like that.
