Yu Shaoting stood up straight, his face darkened, and he looked quietly at the two people hugging each other across from him.

Pei Qiyou held Bai Xiao's hand tightly, as if his own territory had entered an invader, and the two men looked at each other silently.

Bai Xiao thought the scene in front of her was very dramatic, and what she didn't expect was that Yu Shaoting would be squatting at the door of the apartment.

When did he stand at the door? Why did he come here? How long had he been waiting?

Several questions came one after another, and Bai Xiao felt her brain was swollen uncomfortably, and she couldn't think of a reason.

Over there, Yu Shaoting had already pinched off his cigarette butt. When he came over, Bai Xiao's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. He slowed down less than one meter away from Pei Qiyou. They almost rubbed shoulders, but he...

He stretched his long legs and crossed them towards the corridor.

When they passed by, because they were so close, a crisp breath brushed across Bai Xiao's cheeks, mixed with a very light smell of tobacco.

Bai Xiao looked at the entrance of the corridor, and there was no one there. It was as if he accidentally walked into the wrong door. After realizing that the host was not the person he was looking for, he turned around and left without any hesitation or a word of nonsense.

——————————

Pei Qiyou carried Bai Xiao into the bedroom, carefully placed her next to her bed, and then squatted down to take off her socks.

Bai Xiao retracted her feet and said, "Can you go now?"

He squatted beside the bed and lowered his head, "I'll look at your feet first. If there's nothing wrong, I'll leave."

Bai Xiao refused to let him touch her, and went straight to bed, rolled up the quilt and covered her body, turned her back to him and closed her eyes.

Pei Qiyou looked at Bai Xiao's back curled up on his bed, and the dim light stretched his figure.

Bai Xiao knew that he hadn't left, but she didn't want to face him. She wanted to be out of sight and out of mind, but she found that she was very upset. After an unknown amount of time, the bedroom door was gently opened and then closed slowly. She opened her eyes.

I opened my eyes and stared at the floor lamp next to my bed. My eyes felt uncomfortable, as if they had been drilled into fine sand.

——————————

When Pei Qiyou walked out of the apartment building, he suddenly felt weightless and couldn't find a sense of belonging.

He did not leave immediately, but sat on a bench by the lawn and looked for the apartment where Bai Xiao was located, but all he saw was pitch black.

The phone vibrated in his pocket.

As soon as Pei Qiyou picked up the phone, Li Jing's voice sounded from the other end.

"Brother Qiyou, my old man said that the matter in Hengzhou is quite involved. I guess it won't last long. Many people have been involved and asked to talk. No one has been released yet. If this continues, I'm afraid...

...You'd better make all preparations to avoid being implicated when the time comes."

Pei Qiyou has achieved what he has achieved today in just a few years. Naturally, there are shady parts in the company's business.

Li Jing suddenly fell silent, and after a long time he said: "Actually, it's just a small problem. If you act quickly, the matter can be solved satisfactorily. If you really can't hide it, just go to the detention center and stay for a few days. Then I'll let you know

My old man can talk to me through some connections and he will come out soon..."

Pei Qiyou leaned over, holding the mobile phone in his right hand, resting his left elbow on his knee, and stroked his face with his big hand, finally stopping at his mouth.

He raised his head and looked at the room with the lights out. The light from the street lights hurt his eyes.

"Li Jing, do you think I'm such a fucking bastard?"

"Didn't we have a good discussion before?" Li Jing's voice was a little anxious, "Brother Qiyou, don't tell me that you changed your mind?"

Pei Qiyou said nothing.

"Can this kind of thing be changed casually? If you regret it, then what you did before will be..." Li Jing took a deep breath: "This is better than going in by yourself, unless you want to watch it happen."

Mr. Pei fell down again."

Pei Qiyou immediately cut off the phone call. He slowly leaned back in his chair and suddenly felt colder than ever before.

Bai Xiao used her own body to be a surrogate mother in exchange for 10 million to do business for him. The truth is often so ridiculous.

A new text message came in on my phone. It was an unfamiliar phone number.

——I have finished traveling around the world and plan to return to China the day after tomorrow. Do you want to pick me up? I’ll be at the airport at about 3:30 pm.

Pei Qiyou looked at this text message intently, and what he recalled in his mind was the encounter he had during a business trip in South Korea not long ago——

The girl who was as beautiful as an elf, wearing a big red coat, like a child who had stolen an adult's clothes, and a cute Lei Feng hat, got into his car, put her white and tender little hands together on her lips, and looked pitifully.

She looked at him and said softly, "Please, please."

Countless nights after that, that beautiful and innocent little face always appeared in his dreams.

She followed him childishly, jumping up and down: "So you are the charterer..."

Facing the cold look he gave her, she pressed her cherry blossom-like lips aggrievedly and whispered: "Okay, okay, I'm in the real estate business."

Pei Qiyou thought about that girl, but her face gradually overlapped with that of Bai Xiao, or it overlapped with that of sixteen-year-old Bai Xiao. She smiled so happily at him, just like Bai Xiao when she was sixteen years old under the boulevard.

Xiao smiled while putting a band-aid on him.

Before he returned to China, the girl forcibly took away his business card. She walked backwards while shaking the business card between her fingers, smiling broadly: "If I plan to go back to China one day, I will call you."

After saying that, she jumped on the tour bus carrying a big luggage bag.

But suddenly he couldn't tell who he was thinking about now, the girl he met accidentally...or Bai Xiao?

The heartbeat at that moment in Jeju Island made the twenty-eight-year-old man feel like he had returned to that summer when he was willing to fight for Bai Xiao.

——————————

Yu Shaoting returned to Qinyuan with a straight face. Yu Jingxi was sitting on the sofa, occasionally poking his head towards the door.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he threw away his pillow and ran over, "Dad, where is Xiaobai?"

Yu Jingxi is no longer wearing the cotton-padded jacket he wore when he went to the "East Palace" for lunch at noon. He has changed into a small suit, which fits well. His face is tender and tender, his lips are red and his teeth are white, as if he is wearing makeup, and his curly hair has also been waxed.

She also wore a British-style woolen coat with large lapels.

In the afternoon, Yu Jingxi specially invited Qian Yue over to design her look for tonight, with a small red bow tie hanging around her neck.

This was his first official date with Xiaobai.

"Dad, why don't you say anything?" Yu Jingxi followed Yu Shaoting. Unfortunately, his short legs were no match for his long legs, and he quickly fell behind. However, he was not discouraged. He ran over and raised his head and asked, "Aren't you going to pick up Xiao Ting?"

Is it white?"

Yu Shaoting stopped and turned his head to see how his son, who looked serious, didn't like it, especially the red bow tie, which was like a drop of dazzling mosquito blood: "Why are you dressed like this at night? Have you finished your homework? Are you still here?

Don’t go back to your room.”

"But we agreed to have dinner with Xiaobai tonight!"

Yu Shaoting said nothing and went directly upstairs to his room. When he came out again, Yu Jingxi was already waiting at the door with a big schoolbag on his back.

He immediately frowned: "Don't stand at the door."

Yu Jingxi looked at his little watch and said sweetly: "It's a little late, but there should still be food to eat."

As he said that, he discovered a problem. Yu Shaoting had already changed into home clothes.

"Dad, how can you go out to eat dressed like this? Although I don't dislike you, you will be stopped outside."

Yu Shaoting didn't even glance at him. He went back downstairs to the kitchen and poured a glass of boiling water.

Yu Jingxi had already followed, standing behind and looking at him with his lips pursed. Yu Shaoting turned back and asked, "Why are you staring at me?"

"Dad, are you lovelorn?"

Yu Shaoting's movement of raising his head to drink water stagnated slightly.

Yu Jingxi has already said clearly: "Actually, it's okay, Dad, I have gone through many detours before. Now that I meet Xiaobai, I know who is the most suitable for me. I believe you will meet yours one day."

noob."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Shaoting had already passed him and left the kitchen without even shaking him off.

When Yu Jingxi came out, she heard Yu Shaoting asking Aunt Li to make dinner, with a look of hurt and disbelief on her face, "Dad, shouldn't we go out?"

The "meatball" on the side also screamed "ouch" to express his dissatisfaction.

Yu Shaoting glanced away with an impatient look——

"Meatball" suddenly stopped barking, and swooped behind Yu Jingxi, looking out with a pair of bewildered eyes.

Seeing that Yu Shaoting didn't look like he was joking, Yu Jingxi's heart sank to the bottom of the lake, but he still wanted to fight for it: "Dad, Uncle Lu said that you have to pay to cancel the reserved box in the East Palace, and it is very expensive.

"

Yu Jingxi responded with the bedroom door slamming shut.

——————————

Bai Xiao woke up from the pain of a sprained ankle when she turned over.

It was bright outside, so she sat down from the bed and lifted the quilt, only to find that her left ankle was red and swollen, and it hurt so much that she couldn't walk even after she got off the ground.

"He Huan!" Bai Xiao knocked on the door next door, but there was no response.

At this moment, the landline phone in the living room rang.

"Xiaoxiao, Qin Shousheng and I are going to attend a birthday party for a rich second generation. We went out to sea last night and will be back in three days!"

Bai Xiao looked at his injured leg and felt a little headache, but he still said something to ask them to pay attention to their safety, and then hung up the phone.
