C56

Hearing the assured tone behind her, Pei Luoyi only smiled and did not reply. She was just about to lift her foot and leave.

"You probably don't know, but my Gong Family and the Su Family have already arranged a marriage. It's impossible for you to enter my Gong Family."

Pei Luoyi listened attentively for a moment. Her eyes narrowed, but very quickly, they returned to normal.

The Su Clan …

In his mind, he saw the scene when he first met Su Zhizhi. That nostalgic yet restrained expression … She was talking about her and Gong Yan, right?

"That kid, Zhizhi, has liked our Little Yan since she was young. The relationship between the two of them can be considered childhood friends." That kid, Zhizhi, has loved our Little Yan since she was young.

Pei Luoyi stood in place, and listened to her last sentence.

"Be sensible and disappear on your own accord."

"..."

When Pei Luoyi walked out of the restaurant, a familiar looking car was parked in front of the entrance.

Shen Cui was peeking into the dining room when he saw her figure coming out. He quickly unfastened his seatbelt and got out of the car to walk towards the woman.

It was indeed the Rolls-Royce that a man usually rode in.

However, the one who got off the car was not him, but Secretary Shen who had met him a few times.

"Miss Pei."

Shen cuisine stopped in front of Pei Luoyi. The sun was so bright that it made him squint, "The head of the palace has asked me to take you there. Please get in the car."

He made a gesture to invite her in, but Pei Luoyi stood motionlessly. The wind blew past her skirt, causing it to sway wantonly.

She looked at him and frowned under the sunlight. "Go?" "Where to?"

The scene from last night was still fresh in her mind. She really didn't want to see that man anymore.

She had just been thrown off by this man's grandma, and now she was summoned by him. Could it be that this whole family was thinking of how to torture her? Is there any problem that can't be solved internally?

Shen Xiao saw the displeasure on her face and did not expect it to be like this. She was troubled for a moment, but she still replied honestly, "To the company … "To the Palace Head's office."

"Not going."

He refused without even thinking.

Pei Luoyi turned the tip of her feet and prepared to leave.

Shen cuisine immediately flashed in front of the woman, his forehead was drenched in cold sweat from his nervousness, and his face was filled with bitterness, "I hope that Miss Pei does not make things difficult for this subordinate of mine. The Palace Chief asked me to bring you over. It's hard to do. "

Pei Luoyi looked him in the eye and pouted. Although she couldn't bear to see him, she didn't want to go. "This is your problem. You can just say that I'm the one who wants to leave. You can't stop me."

She stepped around the man, but he was in front of her again.

Helplessly, she sighed heavily, and even her shoulders collapsed. "What exactly do you want? Secretary Shen, why don't you just knock me out and carry me over? That way, I won't be able to resist anymore. "

"This …" The man seemed to be hesitating, but after thinking about it for a while, he gave up and continued to persuade her, "Miss Pei, I don't know if you and the palace are quarreling again, but as far as I'm concerned, the palace is actually very good to you. In the morning, he specifically asked me to go to the other side of the manor to get your favorite congee and bring it to your apartment.

As he spoke, he carefully observed the woman's face. He was slightly relieved to see that she seemed to have become silent.

Pei Luoyi actually wanted to retort. How could that man treat her so well? Had he ever been kind to a woman, good enough to shut her in her room and keep her out?

It wasn't good for her, it was crazy.

However, his thoughts unknowingly stopped at the second half of Shen Xiao's words.

Morning congee... She had eaten for so many days that the taste was easily recognizable.

He pursed his lips as his heart wavered.

Shen Cui saw that she had loosened up, and quickly continued to advise: "Actually, the Palace Head wants to invite you over. I think he wants to invite you to lunch, and when he orders me, he also wants me to reserve two seats in a restaurant. It would be a pity if you don't go."

Lunch?

A hint of confusion flashed through Pei Luoyi's eyes. It didn't seem like a man would do such a thing. After all, he had a cold expression on his face all year round, and she couldn't figure out what kind of relationship he had with Tick.

"Fine."

After a while, she compromised.

Shen Bu was relieved for a moment. She quickly went to the back door of the car and opened it. She waited for Pei Luoyi to get in, then went back to the driver's seat to start the car.

On the way, Pei Luoyi suddenly remembered something that had been overlooked. She turned to the man who was driving and asked, "Oh right, how did you know I was there?"

The Old Mistress had asked her to meet in private, so she shouldn't have informed Gong Yan beforehand.

So how did he know she was there?

Shen Cui's forehead was covered in sweat. It took him a while to react when he heard her question, "About this …" I'm not sure. It was the Palace Head's address. "

Pei Luoyi was even more suspicious now, and a strange expression appeared on her face.

The car stopped in the underground parking lot of the Miyagi Corporation Building. Shen Shuo took the elevator directly to the top floor with the woman in tow.

It was Pei Luoyi's first time coming to this building, and also his first time seeing Cloud City as a landmark.

They got out of the elevator and Shen Wu led her straight to the door at the end of the corridor.

The moment the door was pushed open, the man looked up from his notebook.

An office of almost two hundred square meters could no longer be described as spacious. If there was only a man working here normally, the word 'empty' should be used instead.

"Head Elder, Miss Pei is here."

"Mm, you go out first." The man's eyes moved back to the computer screen, his hands still tapping on the keyboard.

Seeing Shen Cui hesitating to leave, she raised her head to look at him. Seeing his bashful expression, her dark eyes darkened, "Is there something else?"

When Pei Luoyi heard this, she also turned to look at the man in front of her. Even though his back was facing her, she was unable to see his expression.

"It's like this. I saw that it was almost lunchtime, so I booked two seats for you at Blueocean. What do you think …"

Upon seeing the man's slightly changed expression, Shen Xiao hurriedly lowered his head.

There was no helping it, in order to complete the mission successfully, he had to take care of the things he had promised as well.

His words didn't just fall into the man's ears.

Petrov, who was standing a few steps away from him, naturally heard him.

A string of ellipses drifted through her mind, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Since they had already come over, it would be too unreasonable for them to say that they were going back.

The man's gaze was fixed on Shen Cui for an instant, before he shifted his gaze to Pei Luoyi behind him.

Seeing that she didn't know why, he smiled helplessly. After which, he said lightly, "Alright, I understand."
