Gong Yan smiled as he fiddled with the transparent glass cup in his hand. Under the afternoon light, the water color of the glass was reflecting a mottled color. "Are you referring to me?"

Hearing her words, Pei Luoyi rolled her eyes in a circle and remained silent.

However, this gaze meant that other than you, there seemed to be no one else here.

Gong Yan didn't see her, so he didn't hear her reply for a long time. He thought that she had shut her mouth.

Putting the glass back on the table, he turned to look at her, "Miss Pei, perhaps you don't understand. For those who shouldn't have feelings for others and are expected from others, it's better not to be so attentive."

Pei Luoyi held her chin in one hand and pointed at the screen of her mobile phone with the other. Her movements seemed to twist and distort.

When a man said these things to her, she was unconcerned about them and nodded perfunctorily, with a feeling of "yes yes, you're right about everything".

Gong Yan frowned slightly as he saw her expression.

No matter how slow Pei Luoyi was, she could feel that the atmosphere had turned cold. Clutching her phone tightly, she didn't dare to continue playing around with it. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and slowly turned her gaze away.

Sure enough, the man had to stare at her with a smile or not. His face was warm, but his eyes were so deep that not even a speck of light could be seen through. A faint black fog was rolling about in his eyes.

Wasn't this man too easily angered? With such a small matter going against him, could he even compare himself to her?

No gentleman is stingy.

Fortunately, after the waiter cleaned up the floor, the manager came out to apologize to the two of them, and the dishes started to come back one by one.

With that, the man turned his attention away from her.

She hadn't eaten in the morning, so she was extremely hungry. Coincidentally, there was a fish she liked to eat in front of her.

Without thinking, she raised the chopsticks, picked up the chopsticks and put them in her mouth.

The tender and beautiful fish stimulated her taste buds. Satisfied, she remembered that the dish was reported from a certain mouth. She couldn't help but glance at the man and suddenly felt the desire to tease him.

"Seriously, Mr. Gong, you've even investigated what I like to eat so clearly... You really don't want to marry me because you have a crush on me? "

Hearing this, Gong Yan's hand that was shaking the goblet stopped. The golden champagne swirled along the side of the goblet, creating a few tiny bubbles.

He tilted his head to look at the woman, who bit the tip of her chopsticks with her white teeth.

"Having self-confidence is a good thing, but having too much self-confidence is just making up for it."

His lips curved in a mocking smile. As he finished his sentence, he raised his head and took a sip from his goblet.

Pei Luoyi shrugged his shoulders and raised an eyebrow. He didn't mind and continued to eat the dish.

She only intended to tease him for a moment, so she did have the self-awareness to do so.

Not to mention that they didn't even know each other before. With their different identities, if he didn't pin a crime of running away on her head, the two of them probably wouldn't have had any interactions for eight lifetimes.

Pei Luoyi watched as he leisurely ate his dishes, but his appetite was not small and his actions were not considered rude. The speed at which he swept the dishes, however, was not slow at all.

Gong Yan didn't move his chopsticks, he was just drinking wine all the while. His glowing eyes were focused on the woman who was only looking at delicious food.

When she was almost full, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She raised her head and looked in the direction of the washroom.

She pushed down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and turned her head to look at Gong Yan.

"Speak... That Miss Su seems to have been gone for a long time. Do you need me to go over and take a look? "

Her words had barely left the man's lips when his dark blue suit pocket emitted a short hum.

It was a text message reminder.

Gong Yan put down the cup in his hand, took out his cell phone from the inside pocket of his suit, lit up the screen and took a look.

The space between his eyebrows seemed to have tightened due to the content of the message. With just a glance, he returned the phone to his pocket.

Then, he pulled his chair apart and picked up the cane beside him.

Pei Luoyi was still in a daze and raised her head to ask, "You're just going back?" Are you not going to eat anymore? "

She glanced at the dishes on the table that had not been touched and felt very regretful.

Gong Yan looked at her disdainfully, "Miss Su has already left. If you want to stay, you can continue."

Hearing this, Pei Luoyi heaved a sigh of relief. However, looking at the man's posture, he seemed to be preparing to leave the stage ahead of time.

"What about you? You don't want to eat anything before you go? "

Only then did she notice that the man had not touched his chopsticks at all.

She couldn't help but feel a bit guilty, as if she was too preoccupied with eating by herself. However, the two main characters of the real dinner team didn't make any progress at all.

Gong Yan raised his hand and looked at his watch, a trace of impatience appeared on his face as he said, "I still have things to do. Go back and eat by yourself."

At the end of the day, the long legs wrapped in the trousers continued to move toward the door of the restaurant.

Pei Luoyi looked at the tall figure walking off into the distance, curled her lips, and began eating the delicacies on the table with the spirit of not wasting food.

On the way to the Gong Family Group, Gong Yan received a call from the Old Mistress.

Looking at the comments on the screen, a dark light flashed across the man's eyes. He immediately pressed the answer button and placed the phone beside his ear.

"Grandmother."

The voice did not have the usual respectful tone, but it inevitably carried a faint sense of alienation.

"Xiao Yan, have you eaten?"

When the old man reached a certain age, he would only be more and more unable to bear the consequences of a few stumbles, let alone falling down a flight of stairs.

Therefore, through the phone's signal, Gong Yan could hear the old mistress' extremely weak voice. Every syllable seemed to come from the depths of her throat.

"Yes." "Yes," he answered lightly. His indifferent gaze stopped somewhere outside the window. "What are you calling me for?"

Actually, he had already guessed half of the reason why she had called him. He only took into consideration the discomfort she was experiencing and did not get to the point right from the start.

He listened.

The person on the other side was silent for a moment before the old lady's low voice sounded, "Little Yan, Zhizhi is a good girl, you …" "You don't feel anything at all?"

Pausing for a moment, she continued, "I watched her grow up, and I don't think she has been thinking about you for a year or so. The Su Family can be considered a famous family in the Yun City. Why are you unwilling to consider her? "

He looked out of the window and said lightly: "According to Grandmother's meaning, all of the young mistresses from Cloud City that are on the same stage, if you are interested in me, I can consider it."

He smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "You just don't want me to marry Roy, so why bring in someone who isn't related to me?"
