C60

When Gong Yan walked out of the men's restroom, his pale eyes were fixed on the woman standing outside the long corridor.

There was only a single spot of light a few meters above the gallery, so much so that the woman's face was obscured by the lack of light.

He lowered his head slightly, his long black hair covering most of his hair. He only looked over when he heard the sound of the door opening.

A look of nervousness and unease flashed across her delicate face.

She hesitated for a moment, but then she stopped in front of the man and looked up.

"I know you don't want to see me … I just wanted to tell you, I did my best, I really did my best. "

Tears silently slid down her fair cheeks, but there was not a single trace of pity in the man's expression. He looked at her as if he were looking at an insignificant person, so cold that it made one's heart go cold.

When he didn't respond, she continued to cry, mixed with intermittent sobs, "When I went back that day, I told dad that you already had someone you liked, and I didn't want to be the third person between you, but he didn't agree, he didn't agree …" "I really have no way …"

His slender fingers couldn't help but want to touch the man's hand, and he staggered forward to get closer.

The distance was so close that the man could smell the faint fragrance of her body.

It wasn't the unique scent of a woman, but a perfume that he was very familiar with. He had once liked this perfume a lot.

However, the person in front of him had the same aura, so he could only feel a deep disgust.

In almost an instant, a frightening thunderstorm started to build up in the man's deep, ink-black eyes. In the next instant, it returned to its previous calm state.

If one did not look closely, one might not notice this short change.

"If you specifically wanted to talk to me about this matter," his voice was extremely cold, like the winter wind blowing in the middle of the winter, "I don't want to see you again after today."

With these words, the man walked around the frozen woman and prepared to leave.

As he brushed past her, the slender fingers of the woman firmly gripped his arm.

Gong Yan turned his head, looking at the hand that was grabbing his forearm expressionlessly.

A frown appeared on his handsome forehead.

"Why …"

Suizhi raised her tear-stained face, almost sobbing, "I just love you. I didn't do anything wrong. You hate me so much? "Yan-gege, you don't want to marry me. I've tried my best and recognized it, but, this isn't something that I can decide. Isn't it unfair for you to put all of this on me?"

The man's cold eyes landed on her face, and his thin lips parted.

"Let go."

"I'm not letting go, I know you're blaming me. If I didn't like you too much, if I wasn't too obvious, Granny Gong wouldn't have come looking for me, but love is not wrong. Yan-gege, what happened between you and me wasn't something I could decide, I tried hard, I really tried …"

"You've tried?"

These four words caused the man to smile as if he had heard a joke. A mocking smile appeared on his face. "I might as well tell you what I think."

He finally turned around and looked at her condescendingly.

Suzy suddenly felt that the man's smile was a bit cruel, but she didn't know that what he said was actually cruel.

He looked at her and quietly said, "Su Zhizhi, if one day you and I are really married, remember, in my eyes, your existence will become a mistake."

The dim light fell on the woman's pale, bloodless face, making it seem even paler.

The clenched fingers loosened in an instant.

The man left without looking back. The woman who couldn't support her body leaned against the wall and covered her face as she cried.

"..."

When Pei Luoyi heard the footsteps of the man, she nearly fell asleep out of boredom.

He raised his head and stretched lazily, and at a glance, he caught sight of something falling on top of his head.

"Have you finished eating?" The man did not return to his seat. Instead, he stood behind her and asked.

It seemed like he did not plan to continue eating here.

Pei Luoyi lowered her arms and subconsciously glanced behind him before raising her head to ask, "Where's Miss Su?"

The expression in Gong Yan's eyes changed slightly, and he quickly cut to the chase, "She's not coming back."

Hearing this, Pei Luoyi did not ask any further. She nodded, "Oh." Then, she picked up her bag and left the restaurant with the man.

The black Rolls-Royce drove straight back to the apartment.

The car slowly stopped in front of the entrance to the residential complex. Gong Yan didn't drive his car away until Pei Luoyi walked into the residential complex. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he took out his phone from his pocket and typed out a text message.

By the time Pei Luoyi had returned to her apartment, the servants who came to clean the house in the morning were no longer there. They had already filled the fridge with fresh ingredients.

Since lunch wasn't the food he liked, he didn't have much of an appetite. When he returned home, he felt that he hadn't eaten his fill yet.

She leaned against the refrigerator door and sighed softly. The ancient times had made things difficult for women, but now she had made it difficult for people to cook without technology.

He closed the refrigerator and was about to open his phone to order a takeout when the doorbell rang.

Pei Loyi frowned and put down his phone. He then walked over and opened the door.

"Hello, Miss Pei. This is the meal that the Palace Head ordered for you."

"Mine?"

"Yes, it was instructed by the Head of the Palace. Take good care."

Before she could react, the man had already left with quick steps.

Pei Luoyi felt rather confused. She picked up the bag and placed it on the dining table. The phone on the sofa rang again.

She walked over and picked it up. She looked at the name on the screen and answered without hesitation.

"Everything you order is your favorite food."

When the call connected, the man said something without any clue.

Pei Luoyi looked at the box on the table, which had yet to be taken out. With a faint smile, she asked, "Why would you want to give me more food?"

On the other end of the phone, Gong Yan stood in the elevator, listening to the woman's gentle voice, his eyes unknowingly warmed a little, but he still mercilessly replied: "It's probably because I've eaten with you so many times, this is the first time you've eaten so little in the afternoon."

On the other end, Pei Luoyi's face was filled with a sweet smile, but the moment she said those words, it turned cold. She even rolled her eyes, even though the man couldn't see her face.

Could he be hinting that she usually eats a lot?

Well, it might be a little hard to refute, but that was also because the servants in the Thousand Islands Villa were too good at cooking, and she wasn't picky with food either.

Hearing this, the other side of the phone suddenly quieted down. The smile on Gong Yanjun's face deepened as well, his lips pursed into a thin line. After a moment of silence, he called out, "Pei Luoyi."

"Hmm?"

"Don't run around for the next few days."

The tone of the man was solemn and cautious. Pei Luoyi felt her breathing freeze for a moment as she listened to his words.

"Why?"
