Yu Liao looked down at the ground and didn't notice the sudden and quiet gaze of the man beside him.
The peach blossom eyes are sparkling with light, full of tenderness.
There are almost no empty parking spaces in the old community. Pei Wentan's car is parked at the farthest side, and it takes two minutes to walk there.
After walking around a corner pillar, Pei Wentan paused slightly, and Yu Liao subconsciously stopped and looked forward.
There was a man standing not far away. He was still wearing the same suit as last night, but his shirt and trousers were a little wrinkled. His coat was hung on his arms. There was no expression on his handsome face, but his eyes behind the lenses were calm and irritable. .
"...I know, Ruyun, I just finished working overtime and will come over to see you later."
Cen Chimo pinched the bridge of his nose and coaxed without expression, "Well, I have a new project to prepare, and I stayed up all night."
Ruyun.
The eldest lady of the Shen family, Shen Rujun.
Yu Liao thought of the message he saw when he unlocked his phone while washing up in the morning.
The notification bar is crowded with bright red missed calls.
From eleven o'clock last night to three o'clock this morning, there were a total of thirty-five missed calls.
There is also a series of WeChat messages.
All from Cen Chimo.
[Cen Chimo: Yu Liao, are you crazy? 】
[Cen Chimo: Why are you so angry? Is it because I didn't help you when Shen Ruyun pushed you into the swimming pool last time? Are you still angry? 】
[Cen Chimo: Haven't I already explained her identity and your identity? The eldest lady of the Shen family in Kyoto, what's wrong with you giving in? 】
[Cen Chimo: Yu Liao, don’t make me angry. 】
[Cen Chimo: I disagree. You can never leave the Cen family. I have the ability to make it difficult for you to live outside. 】
Seventeen years, how could I not have any feelings at all?
Back then, Yu Liao, who had just lost her dependent mother, was sent to Cen Chimo. She was coaxed to call her brother in a daze, and she gave all her sincerity to the gorgeous and cold Cen family.
Even her classmates at school laughed and called her nanny.
Even if the servants of the Cen family deliberately ignored her.
Even though she gradually lost her last friend, only Cen Chimo with a gentle smile was left by her side.
Yu Liao never thought that the source of all pain was the person she trusted the most.
Until she saw with her own eyes a boy in high school uniform leaning on the edge of the rooftop, holding a cigarette between his fingers, slowly adjusting his glasses amidst the sound of the biting wind.
The tone was flirtatious and indifferent.
"She is almost making friends again. Go chat with that girl and let her know Yu Liao's identity."
The boy next to him laughed and said he was cruel.
Cen Chimo just smiled, suddenly feeling as aloof as Mrs. Cen.
"She was originally my little nanny."
"How can you give your thoughts to others?"
It seemed like she was back in the bitterly cold winter three months ago. She was floating and sinking in the pool, so frozen that she almost lost consciousness. Even her struggles couldn't stir up a splash of water.
Shen Rujun stood on the shore, with an innocent smile on her cute little round face, and said sweetly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you couldn't swim? But it's okay, aren't you dead too?"
Cen Chimo frowned, but in the end he didn't say anything and looked away.
In the end, it was Shen Ruyun who found her weak struggle boring and pulled Cen Chimo away. Only then did Yu Liao gather her strength and get ashore with difficulty.
By the time the people called by Cen Chimo arrived at the swimming pool, Yu Liao had already left wearing wet clothes.
"..."
If it weren't for the despair that penetrated her bones, she might have left the Cen family, but she couldn't struggle to get rid of the dark vine called Cen Chimo that entangled her bones and blood, lingering and eating away at her flesh and blood.
Yu Xiao lowered his eyes, moved his wrist, and asked softly, "Aren't you leaving?"
Pei Wentan said coldly, "He's coming over."
Towards the pillar where they were standing.
Yu Liao was still a little dazed when she felt the man next to her suddenly let go of her hand.
Pei Wentan lowered his head and looked at her, his eyes serious and focused.
"Do you want to see him?"
"..."
Has Pei Wentan also heard about Cen Chimo and her?
Yu Liao didn't have time to think too much and just shook his head.
Pei Wentan seemed to laugh very low, "Okay."
The next second, the cat bag was lifted and stuffed into her arms.
Yu Liao exclaimed in her throat, and was immediately picked up by Pei Wentan——
It's not a princess hug, it's a more shameful one, like hugging a child, with the arms passing through the crook of the knees and sitting directly on the man's forearms, facing him.
Footsteps approach.
Sweat almost broke out on Yu Liao's back, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Pei Wentan.
The lazy brows and eyes were immersed in the dim light, the long eyelashes cast fine shadows, and only the thin lips were crimson.
"Stay in my arms."
"That way you won't see him."
Pei Wentan spoke in a low voice and repeated, "Yu Liao, stay in my arms."
--choose me.
