The man opened the drawer and took out a document. He then moved it to the table in front of her.

Job Change...

She secretly let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, it wasn't a letter of resignation. The change in her position meant that she could at least remain in the art world.

Pei Luoyi picked up the document and started reading it. As his line of sight gradually shifted downwards, the space between his eyebrows also started to wrinkle.

"What is it? Not satisfied with this position? "

The man saw that there was no happiness on her face. Instead, there was a serious look on her face. He straightened his back and looked at her without blinking.

Pei Luoyi shook her head and closed the document before putting it back on the table. She then raised her eyes to meet the man's gaze, "Director, I can't deny that this is a beautiful job, but I don't want it. If possible, can you allow me to remain in my original position?"

The position marked on the document was completely unexpected.

The salary offered by the assistant general manager was also very tempting. It was a position where one had a lot of money and a lot of time to spare.

Many successful middle-aged men had a wife in their family. It was very common for a wife to hire honey while being afraid of being found out. This position could be used as a backdoor.

However, after staying in the painting for such a long time, she was very clear that Hua Yan, the organizer of the organization, had already married a long time ago.

Besides, he needed an assistant. He could have recruited someone else, so why would he ask for her?

The more she thought about it, the more she became confused.

And it was only later that she realized that the man had been talking about how well she had performed in the past year, not about the company's losses from her absence from work these days, and how strangely overzealous he had been about her.

Hearing her rejection, the man appeared to be in a difficult position. He furrowed his brows and remained silent for a good while.

After a while, Pei Luoyi heard him raise his head and say, "How about this, you don't need to make a decision so quickly. It's fine if you consider it. After you've made up your mind, you can tell me when the contract will be valid."

"But, Director …"

"Alright, let's think about it a bit more. Such a good job isn't waiting for people. Perhaps there are people who don't appreciate your hard work, so you should at least understand and understand."

Pei Luoyi didn't understand the meaning behind those words. While she was still in a daze, the man had already hurried her out of the office.

A gust of wind blew against her face and she slammed the door shut.

She stared at the door.

After a while, he slowly walked back to his seat and sat down.

Since she hadn't shown up for a few days and didn't have any important work to do, she had spent almost an entire afternoon walking.

When it was almost time for her to get off work, she looked at the wall clock hanging in her office, then packed her things and slowly walked down the stairs.

When he got back to the apartment, he realized that he had forgotten to bring back a meal. However, he was not really in the mood to eat, so he decided to cook some noodles later.

Pei Luoyi pressed the lock on the door with her fingertip and opened it. What she saw in front of her in the morning was an unfamiliar "home." She was already physically and mentally exhausted, and her mood immediately dropped to the bottom.

Letting out a deep breath, she bent down to change her shoes. When she opened the shoe cabinet, her sharp eyes noticed that the two men's shoes were neatly placed on each floor.

She frowned. When she went out in the afternoon, she hadn't seen the pair of shoes. It was impossible for a thief to change into a different pair of shoes before coming in to steal something.

Almost instantly, he understood whose shoes it was.

Her expression froze for a moment, but she still took out a pair of slippers and walked into the living room.

Ye Zichen chucked his bag behind the sofa, walked straight to the door of the second bedroom, took a deep breath, then raised his hand to push down the door handle.

As she expected, the man's meticulous face caught her eye as she opened the door.

Gong Yan sat behind his desk and tapped on his laptop with both hands. Hearing the movement at the door, he lifted his eyelids to look at the woman standing at the door, then turned his attention back to the computer screen.

Pei Luoyi was completely ignored. Her hand that was still on the doorknob suddenly tightened as she pushed the door open. The door slammed into the wall and she was already standing in front of her desk, one step at a time.

"Why are you here?"

The way she looked at the man was a look of uncontrollable rage. Her hands were clenched into fists at her sides, the joints of her hands turning white from the exertion.

The man hammered on it for a while, then closed his notebook and leaned back in his chair. "Why can't I be here?" he asked.

Pei Luoyi took a deep breath and closed her eyes, "But this is my house, Mister Gong."

She suddenly realized that she was really afraid of what came next. The phone call that morning had left her confused about what he had said, and she was still praying that it wouldn't end like this.

But now, it was most likely close to the truth.

The man looked at her with a furious expression, his lips curving into a smile. "Not so much your house as our common property. I didn't count this suite in the pre-nuptial agreement, so it's ours."

When he said our two words, he seemed to bite the syllables very hard.

Pei Luoyi naturally recognized the voice. Her eyes, which had previously contained anger, shrunk immediately as if she couldn't believe it. However, she still pursed her red lips and asked, "You …" Buy this house? "

"Otherwise?" The man lowered his gaze as he fiddled with the phone in his hand. "Do you think that with my wealth, I will let you live in a rented place?"

When Pei Luoyi heard this, she was unable to describe how she felt. She wanted to laugh, but couldn't. She wanted to curse, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only lower her head helplessly and bitterly pinch her lips.

"You said that you would let me back. So you were letting me back and then you moved in to live with me?"

She raised her head and looked coldly at the lazy man. If looks could kill, she would have stabbed him countless times.

"Gong Yan, are you sick? You don't live in a villa for a few thousand square meters, and you come and squeeze into a crappy apartment with me? If you really like this apartment so much, I'll give it to you, OK? "I'm leaving!"

She couldn't stay here any longer, or she really didn't know when she would go crazy.

She turned around. Before she could take a step, an unknown object brushed past her ear and smashed into the opposite wall, producing a loud sound.

All the hairs on Pei Luoyi's body stood on end. She could feel the whistling sound of that thing in her ears.

Her legs began to give way from the fear of hindsight, and she shivered and could not move.

"I'm hungry."

Behind him, the man's low, emotionless voice sounded.

Seeing that she didn't react, the man added, "Cook the noodles for me last time."
