C49

Under the dim light of the street lamp, Pei Luoyi returned to the house.

The servant had long since gone to sleep. She groped her way to the second floor and returned to her room.

He turned on the floor lamp at the head of the bed and climbed into the bed.

Just as he was about to pull off the blanket and lie down, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye. In the dark room, his cell phone's screen lit up with a dazzling light.

She had been locked in this room by a man for the past few days. The communication had been cut off and disappeared for so many days. Naturally, there would be many people looking for her.

After a moment of hesitation, she reached for the phone on the table.

Sure enough, when he opened up the screen, he saw a dozen missed calls and a few text messages.

The Pei couple had both called her once, probably because they knew that she had signed the agreement and were now being held hostage by the men, so they didn't call her again.

Her finger moved up and down the screen, and when she saw a name, her thumb paused.

The faint blue light from the cell phone's screen reflected off her face, blurring it and making it difficult to see clearly.

Ever since she hung up on the news that he was going to marry her sister that night, she had changed his name from [Brother Bamboo Horse] to [Brother Bamboo Horse].

Jia Yu Shu... Chewing these three words, she felt that they were foreign to her.

When she thought about it carefully, she had been able to count the number of times she had called him by name over the past twenty years.

Some things really do have the will of heaven.

Without thinking about it, she could not have replied to this call.

She clicked off the communication page and opened WeChat.

She wasn't sure if she slept at this point, but she still sent a message.

The other side quickly replied with a series of exclamation marks. Pei Luoyi looked at her words and could not help but smile. She then replied with a few movements of her finger.

She pulled the pillow behind her back and spread it out on the window to chat with Xin Xin. The last part of the conversation was about Xin Xin asking if she had been pulled into the distribution network, otherwise, how could she not be in touch for a few days.

She was silent for a moment, then she calmly replied with "No".

Her eyelids were heavy as lead when she clicked on the screen. She fell asleep without waiting for a reply.

The next morning.

She subconsciously checked the time on the lock screen with her cell phone before grabbing her messy hair and climbed down from the bed. She washed her face, washed her face, changed her clothes and packed her things before going downstairs.

Surprisingly, just as he arrived at the staircase, he saw a figure sitting quietly at the table.

Under the bright morning light, the man's chiseled facial features became more exquisite. He sat beside the window and let the morning sun shine on his body, as if he did not notice it at all.

His slender fingers gripped a newspaper, flipping through it from time to time.

There was a cup of coffee on the table in front of him. It was steaming, but there was no breakfast.

He's … To wait for her?

Pei Luoyi's footsteps paused for a moment, but she still walked down the stairs. Walking towards the dining table, she pulled out the chair she usually sat on and sat down.

When the servant brought her breakfast, she thanked him and looked at the man, "You're here... You want to send me down the mountain? "

After all, he would never be here during breakfast time, and since he had let her go so easily yesterday, that was the only thing she could do.

If that was the case, she didn't know why, but she suddenly had a bad premonition.

Twisting her eyebrows, she looked at him and added, "If that's the case, then there's no need. I'll ask my friend to pick me up later, so you won't have to take up your time going to work."

The man's gaze swept across the newspaper. He didn't even give her a glance before he picked up the white porcelain cup and took a sip of coffee. He then said, "Have your breakfast."

When Pei Luoyi saw this, he knew that his guess was correct. He had really come to send her back home, and had even specially waited for her.

He pursed his lips and didn't say anything for a long time. Finally, he gave a soft sigh, picked up the sandwich on the plate, and slowly took a bite.

"Right."

Thinking back to the day when the man kidnapped her, he seemed to have emptied her apartment. Pei Luoyi swallowed the food in her mouth and drank some milk before continuing, "Those things in my house, where did you put them?"

She had thought that if he gathered his things together in one place, she could pay the workers to help bring them back, and though he had taken them away and the responsibility was his, she didn't have the courage to argue with him if he said, "Since it's so troublesome to go back and live here, you might as well stay here."

"Throw it away."

Hearing these two words, Pei Luoyi paused in her chewing. Her black and white eyes widened uncontrollably, and her tone of voice instantly rose by several decibels, "You threw it away?" Where did you throw it? "

The man finally shifted his gaze away from the newspaper and looked at her. "Throwing it away is throwing it away. What? Do you still want to go to the garbage dump to retrieve it?"

"Gong Yan!"

The milk cup in his hand was placed down heavily, producing a "pa" sound.

It startled the servants so much that they hurried out of the kitchen to check the situation.

Pei Luoyi's entire chest heaved violently. Anger burned at the center of her chest. "Are you crazy?" I spent most of my salary on those things, and you actually threw them away? Is there something wrong with your head? "

She bought them one by one. If she wasn't careful, she wouldn't have bought them and left them in her house. After all, she had put all her effort in them, but he just threw them at her like that?

She was so angry that she even forgot for a moment how tragic the consequences of stroking a tiger's whiskers would be.

Gong Yan indifferently looked at the woman's twitching eyebrows and squinted his eyes. Usually, when he was in a bad mood, he would do this kind of thing unconsciously.

Pei Luoyi looked at him, and for some reason, a large portion of her anger was vented out.

The atmosphere suddenly became so heavy that it was suffocating.

After a while, he heard the man slowly say, "I'll get someone to repurchase the item. You don't have to look like you want to fight me to the death."

When she heard his words, she was so angry that she almost laughed. What did he mean by 'she wants to fight to the death'?

"Mr. Gong, I know you are very rich, but can I trouble you to at least let me know the next time you touch something of mine? You said that we're husband and wife, but at least I have that right, right? " Her face was tight, and her anger was clearly not quenched.

Not wanting to talk to another man, she picked up the half-eaten sandwich and took a big, angry bite.

Gong Yan stared at the woman with bulging cheeks. The coldness in his eyes was gone, replaced by a hint of happiness.

After she finished the whole sandwich and finished her milk, the man closed the newspaper in his hand and casually threw it on the table. His tall figure pulled out a chair and stood up. He then led the way out of the door.
