The man lowered his head to look at her. If Pei Luoyi had seen it more clearly, she would have been able to see a rarely seen smile in his eyes. It wasn't a mocking expression, but a genuine joy that came from the heart.

"A man who sleeps like a pig is not qualified to talk about me."

His voice was low and hoarse, and there was no hint of disdain in it. However, regardless of what kind of woman it was that was said to be a beast, most of them would not be able to remain calm.

Pei Luoyi's pupils dilated as a look of unwillingness appeared on her face.

Please? She had just not slept well for a few days. In the afternoon, she had been watching the scenery and then fell asleep as soon as she saw the scenery. She had slept a little too deeply, so how could she be on par with a pig?

She did not think that her sleeping posture would be so indecent that it was hard to look at.

"Then can I trouble Young Master Gong to put down this pig? After all, with your status, isn't it inappropriate to hug a pig? " She forced a smile on her face and replied back with a cold voice that didn't flinch in the slightest.

While she was speaking, the man's slender, straight legs had already left the pavilion. Step by step, he walked towards the white house.

He stared straight ahead, not looking at her, so that all she could see was the firm line of his chin.

"You've already delayed my dinner and your legs are very short. If you want to leave, you can leave as quickly as I can."

Pei Luoyi's first thought upon hearing these words was to laugh. In fact, she really did laugh out loud because she felt that this was too ridiculous. "Hahahaha …" "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

"Mr. Gong, don't you think that this reason is really lousy?"

And her legs, where were they short?

She did not ask this question. With a man's venomous tongue, she estimated that if he asked this question, he would be able to criticize her ten times.

Pei Luoyi was 1.65 meters tall, which was not an advantage for females. However, she was definitely not short either. If the man was talking about legs, then she definitely wasn't as tall as him.

But the truth was, a man walked really fast. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to return to the front of the house while she was speaking.

There were five or six marble steps in front of the door, and Pei Luoyi had already asked him to carry her along the way. Logically speaking, there was no need to put up with the distance of these few steps.

But considering a man's legs, the hardest part for some old people with bad legs is going up and down the stairs, especially since his legs have been operated on.

"Hey, we're here. Put me down, I know how to leave."

She twisted her waist and struggled to bend down from the man's arms. When she raised her head, she saw that the veins on his forehead were bulging uncontrollably. His face didn't look as pale as it did before.

He glared at her. "Don't move."

Pei Luoyi froze for a moment, and naturally did not dare to move. He looked extremely uncomfortable, and his complexion was extremely frightening as well.

The man's steps clearly became heavier as he climbed up the stairs. Every step he took had to pause briefly before he could take the next step.

Pei Luoyi opened her mouth to say something, but her sight fell upon the taut lines of the man's chin and her words were stuck in her throat. In the end, she could only bitterly swallow her words.

She did not take her eyes off his face until he came into the dining room and set her on a chair.

He wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he did not say anything. He picked up his chopsticks and quietly ate his meal.

Within the dining hall, only the occasional sound of clashing tableware could be heard. The atmosphere was no different than it was a few days ago.

Pei Luoyi picked up a piece of pork chop and put it into her bowl, but her mind was not on it. Her eyes kept drifting to the other side of the bowl.

The moment the man raised his eyes, he abruptly pulled back his hand and stuffed the rice grains into his mouth.

"Is Miss Pei's food not to her liking? Do you need to cook a few more dishes? "

Seeing that she didn't have much appetite, the servant at the side asked nervously.

In the past few days, other than the first few days when she had just recovered from her illness, she didn't show any dissatisfaction with the dishes. That was why they hadn't specifically asked her about her taste, but after seeing her loss of appetite, the servant couldn't help but become nervous.

It took her a while to recover from her deep thoughts. She could faintly hear that the servant seemed to be talking to her, and a polite smile appeared on her face. "Excuse me, what did you say just now? I didn't hear you. "

The servant looked at the man who ate with food and repeated what he had said with some uneasiness.

Hearing this, Pei Luoyi waved her hand and explained with a faint smile, "No need, I'm a little full for lunch and have no appetite tonight. I won't trouble you guys to start cooking again."

Having said so, she pursed her lips and continued eating as if nothing had happened.

The man had witnessed everything that had happened on the other side. He didn't pay much attention to anything that had happened due to the discomfort he felt.

Over the past few days, Pei Luoyi had been reported to him for her every action and action. It seemed that ever since she had been threatened with a hunger strike, she had obediently eaten. Not only had she not been allowed to eat, but she had also obediently stayed in her room.

Except today.

It seemed like he was holding it in to his limit.

Of course, he wouldn't be so naive as to think that just a few words would make her give up on her struggle to survive. She knew how to judge the situation and was afraid of touching his reverse scale.

He reckoned that he would do something small when the time was right.

This was a guess in his heart, but …

His deep gaze lightly fell on the woman who was poking the rice with her head lowered, and the extremely formal voice of his subordinate suddenly resounded in his mind.

In the daily life that he could lead with a single sentence, what he heard the most was a woman in a daze.

Most of the time, he would sit on the windowsill and watch the scenery outside the window. Sometimes, he would sit there for an entire afternoon.

It had been raining for the past few days. The rain outside the window was extremely heavy, so she definitely couldn't be here to watch the scenery.

At these times … What was she thinking?

"Tomorrow."

He suddenly opened his mouth, appearing abruptly in the silent atmosphere.

Pei Luoyi suddenly heard his voice and lifted her gaze from the bowl, looking at him suspiciously.

Then, he lightly said, "I'll let you go back."

She was stunned for a good three seconds. When she confirmed that she was not hallucinating, she stammered: "Tell me … "Really?"

She froze, afraid that the man would smile and tell her it was a joke.

He … You're willing to let her go?

What an unthinkable and inexplicable decision.

Pei Luoyi felt that a man must have other conditions attached to them. Otherwise, how could he allow her to do so today, even though she had begged him several times?

Gong Yan shot her a glance, his actions of picking up dishes didn't stop. "If you're regretting it, it can also be fake."

"That's not what I meant." Pei Luoyi answered without even thinking about it. The moment she said it, she added helplessly, "I just …" "Well, there's nothing else, is there?"

This was the key. Who knew if there would be any price that wouldn't pay off. At the very least, he had to let her know the additional conditions.

Hearing her words, Gong Yan glanced at her with raised eyebrows, then continued eating, "No."
