Pei Yao looked at the person sitting there with his head down, and felt a sense of being unworthy of him.

He was obviously full of energy these days, but when he saw Fu Rong, he seemed to be instantly knocked back to his original state.

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Not everything in this world needs to be figured out."

She looked at Rong Li and her tone was very serious, but behind this seriousness, there was an unknown sadness.

"But she is my mother. Isn't there a mother in this world who doesn't love her children?"

After the words fell, Pei Yao withdrew his hand and leaned back.

"Actually, I don't understand. If there is no mother in the world who doesn't love her children, then why did my mother jump off the cliff with my father in the first place, just to prove the great love between them?"

Hearing this, Rong Li looked at Pei Yao. Her face was calm, but he seemed to have glimpsed the hidden emotions behind this calmness.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of this."

"It's okay, let's eat cake."

Pei Yao opened the cake and placed it between the two of them, but the sweet cream did not improve the atmosphere in the car. Instead, the two of them became quieter and quieter.

Halfway through the cake, Pei Yao put down the fork in his hand when he heard Rong Li suddenly speak.

"Well, how is the case at the police station? Do you have any clues?"

Thinking of this, Pei Yao's mood became even worse.

As soon as she sighed, Rong Li's apology voice came over immediately.

"I shouldn't have asked you this, my bad."

But after hearing this, Pei Yao turned her head and met his gaze.

"Don't apologize."

She looked into Rong Li's eyes with a serious expression.

"Actually, I prefer the way you were when I first met you compared to now. Although you were a bit annoying at that time, you were very lively. If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it. You are too deep now. Many things

There is no need to delve into it, because even if you get a clear answer in the end, the result will still not change, but you will not get any valuable emotions in the process, so enjoying the happiness of the moment is the most important."

After saying this, the car became quiet, and Rong Li looked into Pei Yao's eyes for a long time before speaking.

But when he spoke, he suddenly relaxed and leaned back on the car seat, just like before.

"You should have told me earlier. I've been very tired these past few days. I've been reading novels about overbearing presidents every day to see how other people do it. It turns out you don't like it."

The atmosphere in the car came to life again. Rong Li leaned next to Pei Yao and nudged her with his shoulder.

"But I think I'm really handsome recently, what do you think?"

"Hmm..." Pei Yao frowned slightly, looking like he didn't agree, "It's okay."

"Tsk, how can it be okay? I think I'm so handsome, okay? I'm dressing like the hero in the novel today. Isn't this coat nice?"

Hearing this, Pei Yao's face became a little more disgusted, but more of a smile.

However, Rong Li caught him for his disdain, and Pei Yao didn't notice, so Rong Li smeared cream on his face.

The remaining half of the cake was not eaten in the end. When the two of them got out of the car, their faces were all white. Looking at each other's faces, the two of them laughed non-stop.

It was rare that Pei Yao smiled so heartily. She took the wet wipes handed by Rong Li and wiped her face. When she was about to go upstairs, she was pulled by him.

He was pulled in front of Rong Li, and there was only a fist distance between them. At this time, Pei Yao realized that he was so much taller than him.

Her head was held by Rong Li with one hand, and there was a cold touch on her face. She couldn't help but step back, but was stopped by Rong Li.

"Don't move, there's still some cream here."

Rong Li's eyes fell on Pei Yao's face, but Pei Yao was looking at Rong Li.

She could feel that his movements were very gentle, as if she were a porcelain doll that would break with the slightest force.

He carefully wiped off all the cream on his face, but when their eyes met, they were suddenly stunned.

Pei Yao never thought that one day she would have such an ambiguous behavior with Rong Li. Even if they get along much more than before, she only regards Rong Li as a trustworthy partner.

Actions like this were something she had never thought about.

Probably out of embarrassment, Pei Yao coughed lightly and said, "Um, are you ready?"

"Ah, okay." Rong Li reacted and quickly let go of his hand, and the two of them took a step back to widen the distance between them.

"Then let's go home."

After finishing speaking, Pei Yao took the lead to walk back, but after taking two steps, she stopped again. Right in front of her, stood a familiar figure.

"Why are you here?"

"It's really hard to meet you." Pei Xiaoxia walked up to Pei Yao and said, "You have blocked all my contact information. I called you from an unknown number and you didn't answer. Pei Yao, I'm all yours anyway.

Dear aunt."

As soon as Pei Xiaoxia finished speaking, a tall figure appeared in front of Pei Yao.

"roll."

Rong Li restrained his usual recklessness at this time and stood in front of Pei Yao, his broad body protecting him like a mountain.

For the first time, Pei Yao felt something called a sense of security in someone else.

But she patted Rong Li on the arm and stuck her head out.

"Don't worry, don't be angry."

After saying that, she looked at Pei Xiaoxia, her eyes instantly turned cold.

"What are you here for?"

"I just want to ask you, are you sure you don't agree to my request? Pei Yao, I am your aunt, and I will not harm you."

"You should give up on this idea."

After the words fell, Pei Yao didn't look at her anymore, picked up Rong Li and walked back directly.

When entering the elevator, Rong Li looked at her and suddenly spoke.

"I'm sorry, there's something I haven't told you all this time."

"What?" Pei Yao turned his head, looking confused.

"I asked Bai Yingrui to cause some trouble for the Lin family's overseas business."

"anything else?"

"Because you said you didn't want the Rong family to get involved, and I promised you, but I was too angry, so I asked Bai Yingrui for help."

Rong Li looked at Pei Yao carefully. Because he broke his promise, he was now a little afraid that Pei Yao would be unhappy.

But Pei Yao smiled.

"Are things in the UK more serious and they need to go back as soon as possible?"

"Well, Bai Yingrui blocked a big business for them and caused them a lot of losses."

Hearing this, Pei Yao understood why Pei Xiaoxia had contacted him much more recently. It turned out that she was leaving.

"It doesn't matter. It's a good thing for them to leave as soon as possible. We won't have to see them again."

When he said this, there was not much smile on Pei Yao's face, and all the good mood just now disappeared.

Rong Li saw that she had returned to her usual cold demeanor. He felt anxious and spoke quickly without much thought.
