Fu Rong looked at the man beside her, her expression was full of coldness.

"This is the result of the recent investigation." The man put a document on the table. "We found out that the young master and Pei Yao met two months ago."

Hearing this, Fu Rong raised her eyebrows slightly, "I understand, let's go."

After saying that, the man left. She picked up the documents on the table, got up and walked to the study.

Rong Li didn't know that Fu Rong had someone investigate the matter between him and Pei Yao. Today was the weekend, and there was a traffic jam on the way back. They were still sitting in the car, in that narrow and ambiguous atmosphere.

The baffle between the front seat and the back seat was raised, and Rong Li was sitting upright, but his eyes were furtively glancing to his right.

"You... look very good today. The cheongsam suits you very well, and the hairstyle suits you very well."

His sudden voice brought Pei Yao back to his senses, "Thank you."

She responded softly, but after she finished responding, the air became quiet again.

Pei Yao had never been in such an atmosphere, and this strange feeling made her very uncomfortable. Thinking of being polite, she also praised Rong Li.

"You also suit a suit very well, and you look more serious than usual."

Rong Li didn't expect that she would also praise him, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Really? Then I usually wear more clothes."

"No need." Pei Yao turned to look at him, "If you don't have an occasion to wear it, it's not that comfortable to wear a suit. After all, you don't go to work either."

But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Rong Li's smile froze.

"That's not what I mean. What I mean is that if there is no occasion where you have to wear a suit, it would be more comfortable to wear ordinary clothes."

"Then do you like men with careers? Like Zeng Ye?"

"No, it's just that everyone has their own career, right?" Pei Yao looked away, folding her hands on her knees and moving her fingers lightly.

"For me, love is not necessary, but career is. I can never fall in love or get married, as long as I have a career."

Her voice was rational and sober, and she leaned back in her seat with firmness in her tone.

Rong Li has seen many women who wander between men, hoping to get money, houses, bags, and jewelry from men. For them, this is a shortcut, but Pei Yao in front of her is not.

She said that people should have their own career, and she can achieve it all with her own hands instead of relying on men. What's more, she can be regarded as a shortcut to her.

He was silent for a long time. When Pei Yao turned around, he realized that Rong Li seemed to be looking at him in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Rong Li came back to his senses, looked out the window and found that they had arrived, and thoughtfully opened the car door for Pei Yao.

After returning home and having dinner, Pei Yao and Rong Li returned to their respective rooms, but neither of them slept well that night.

Early the next morning, Pei Yao was awakened by the ringing of her cell phone. She opened her misty eyes and answered the phone, but Zeng Shuang's very high-pitched voice came from there.

"Yaoyao, have you heard that Li Jingying is missing?"

"Missing?" These two words made her regain consciousness. Pei Yao sat up from the bed, "How could she be missing?"

"I only found out through the group chat. Wang Qing said that after the party yesterday, Li Jingying went shopping with others, but never came home. She had not been missing for 24 hours, so she couldn't call the police yet, so she asked other people

Have you ever seen her again?"

"I didn't see her again."

"Of course I know you haven't seen her again." Zeng Shuang's voice came again, "I was just wondering where she went."

Hearing this, Pei Yao didn't speak anymore. After a moment of silence, she spoke again.

"If you have any news, please tell me."

After hanging up the phone, she rubbed her aching head, got up and walked out of the room to prepare breakfast, but as soon as she went out, the smell of rice hit her nostrils.

Pei Yao looked over and saw a figure busy in the kitchen. Her thoughts moved and she walked towards the door.

Just as he walked to the door, he saw Rong Li walking out with a plate of steamed buns in his hand. When he saw himself, his expression was obviously stunned.

"Why did you get up so early today? Don't you usually get up at half past six? There's still half an o'clock."

"I was woken up by the phone." Pei Yao looked at his hand, "Are you making breakfast?"

After the words fell, Pei Yao saw that his expression was a little nervous and a little at a loss.

"Well, I didn't do this. I asked someone to deliver it. I thought it would be hard for you to get up early and make breakfast. We live together now, so I should help you share some of the burden."

Rong Li looked very serious, and she could feel that he might be pursuing her now. When she thought of this, she could not accept his kindness with peace of mind.

"Sorry to trouble you, but I also like cooking and I don't find it hard."

"That's it."

Pei Yao saw that his expression suddenly felt a little lonely and spoke again.

"But thank you for the breakfast. I happen to be a little tired today, so I planned to buy some on the way to work."

She took the plate from Rong Li's hand and put it on the dining table. After washing, the two sat opposite each other.

They usually had something to talk about when they ate together, but since Pei Yao knew Rong Li's intentions clearly, it felt a little awkward to sit together like this.

Obviously nothing has changed, but it feels like everything has changed.

After breakfast, Pei Yao went to work. Today's work was very busy. After entering the workroom, he didn't come out until eight o'clock in the evening.

The sky was completely dark, but when he came out, he found that Lin Lin was still there. Seeing her, Lin Lin strode forward.

"Master, someone is looking for you outside."

Pei Yao cleaned up and walked out, but he didn't expect that more than one person was looking for him.

In addition to Rong Li, there were two police officers sitting in the office. Pei Yao was stunned for a moment when he saw them, but he also knew why they came.

"Hello, we have something we would like to ask you about."

Pei Yao nodded, and the police explained their purpose of coming today. In about fifteen minutes, they understood the entire situation, and she and Rong Li also got up and walked home.

On the way, Rong Li turned to look at her.

"Li Jingying is missing?"

"Well, I found out this morning. I heard from Shuangshuang that she didn't go home last night. She has been missing for more than 24 hours now, so Wang Qing can call the police."

"I'll pick you up from get off work in the evening."

"No need." Pei Yao smiled, "Let's take a look at the results from the police first, and I also have the ability to protect myself."
