"......" Pei Huiping was startled and quickly shook her head, "No, no, I was just scalded by tea." ”

Lu Xiwen, who was still standing not far away, sneered, also laughing at her own stupidity.

It seems that you should not have any hope for Pei Huiping, and after squeezing out the use value of the Jiang family, you should abandon them far away.

She thought for a moment and walked over slowly, "Grandpa, it's not too early, I'm going back." ”

"That ......" Pei Hui Pei just opened his mouth to say, "Let Tingyuan send you back", but he thought of the look in her eyes just now, and closed his mouth in amusement.

Pei Yuan said: "I asked the driver to drive you back." ”

"Thank you, grandpa. Lu Xiwen bowed slightly, and said to Qiao Xihe and Pei Tingyuan: "Brother Tingyuan, Xihe, I'm going back, see you next time I'm free." ”

"Goodbye. Qiao Xihe said lukewarmly.

And Pei Tingyuan just nodded slightly, which can be regarded as a response.

Lu Xiwen took one last look at Pei Tingyuan and went out.

After chatting about some work matters, Pei Tingyuan planned to go back.

Pei Yuan put down the teacup and said, "It's not early, you two can stay here and sleep all night tonight." ”

Pei Tingyuan did not respond immediately, but looked at Qiao Xihe.

Qiao Xihe was reluctant to stay in the Pei family's old mansion, because it meant that the two of them would live in the same bedroom tonight, and it was more likely that Pei Tingyuan would take the opportunity to say that he wanted to sleep in the same bed with her.

She hesitated for a moment, and Pei Tingyuan had already spoken: "Qiaoqiao needs to send the first draft of the design to Mr. Durand for advice, so now I have to go back." ”

"Oh well. Pei Yuan nodded.

Pei Tingyuan said: "Then, grandpa, let's go back." ”

"Grandpa, goodbye. Qiao Xihe said.

Pei Tingyuan held Qiao Xihe's hand and went out together.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Pei Yuan opened his eyes, looked at Pei Huiping coldly and said, "In the future, don't be smart, and if you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb." ”

"Dad......" Pei Huiping shouted.

Pei Yuan got up, "Sooner or later, you will suffer because of your stupid mind." With that, he went upstairs.

When Qiao Xihe came out of the Pei family's old house, he felt that his whole body was much lighter.

She leaned comfortably on the back seat of the car, just wanted to sleep for a while now, and when she returned to Xisong Garden, she would think about the first draft of the design.

If you're so busy, you'll definitely have to go to bed late.

Pei Tingyuan said: "Are you okay in the afternoon?"

"No?" Qiao Xihe thought that Pei Tingyuan asked Mother Yang to take care of herself, so she escaped Pei Huiping's troubles, so she said, "Thank you for arranging for me to prepare dinner smoothly...... Actually, I didn't do anything, Mother Yang was busy, next time I want to buy some gifts or something, and give it to her to express my gratitude. ”

Pei Tingyuan said: "Mother Yang doesn't like * and expensive gold and silver jewelry, so it's better to ...... Give her a ......"

Qiao Xihe clapped his hands, "I'll make a small thing myself and give it to her......, right?" It's just that I'm afraid that things are not worth a few dollars and make people look down on them. ”

"How come?" Pei Tingyuan smiled and comforted: "Your heart is in it, Mother Yang will understand." ”

Qiao Xihe listened to his words, was greatly encouraged, and nodded again and again: "Okay, then I'll make a string of bracelets and necklaces for her as soon as I'm free, okay?"

"Good. ”

Qiao Xihe paid attention and nestled happily in the back seat.

Pei Tingyuan found a blazer out of nowhere and put it on her stomach, "Be careful of catching a cold." ”

Qiao Xihe coughed a little unnaturally, "Thank you......"

"It should. Pei Tingyuan smiled softly.

The street lamps on both sides of the road emitted a soft light, which was no longer bright when it fell into the car, but shining on Pei Tingyuan's handsome face, it made people feel like stars in a trance.

Qiao Xihe only glanced at it, then quickly retracted his gaze, hugged the suit, and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she found herself lying on the bed of Xisongyuan Villa.

She rubbed on the large soft bed, and when her head cleared up, she sat up and glanced at the time.

It's past ten o'clock in the evening.

And now she was awake and sleepless, so she simply got up, put on her slippers, and planned to go downstairs to the living room to get a sketchpad and laptop.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she noticed that the door to the study was open and the light was on.

I don't know what kind of psychology she has, she tiptoes over, leans next to the door, and secretly looks inside, but there is no one behind the desk, next to the bookshelf, or in front of the window.

Only a steaming cup of coffee on the table proved that someone should be here.

Maybe go to the bathroom, right?

Qiao Xihe thought of this, and was about to turn around and leave, when a cold explosion sounded in his ears.

"Hah!"

She was startled, her heart was beating like a drum, and she looked back angrily.

What caught my eye was a big smiling face.

"Pei Tingyuan, you haven't graduated from kindergarten yet, or you're still mentally ill!" she scolded while stroking her chest: "I'm scared to death." ”

Pei Tingyuan leaned over and asked, "Do you need to comfort Qiao Qiao for a while, it's free......

"Get out. Qiao Xihe wanted to kick him.

Pei Tingyuan's expression was a little more serious, and he asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"

Qiao Xihe said: "No, I was just curious to come and see what the study was like." ”

"Oh. ”

Pei Tingyuan's tone sounded a little lost, and Qiao Xihe couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, "I'm going downstairs too." ”

After speaking, she walked towards the stairs, but soon found Pei Tingyuan following behind.

"You ......"

She thought about it for a while and didn't continue, after all, this was Pei Tingyuan's territory, he could go wherever he wanted, and he was probably just about to go downstairs.

In the living room, it was exactly the same as before she went out in the afternoon.

"Hey, my sketchpad ......" Qiao Xihe frowned and looked at the blank drawing paper on the sketchpad, "It's strange, where is my first draft of the design......"

She flipped through the blank sheet of paper, and rummaged through the pile of magazines and reference books next to her, but the first draft, which she was most satisfied with, was missing, except for a few scraps.

"How can this be, I just put it on the drawing board?" Although she was looking around on the coffee table and the sofa, she was sure that the first draft was sandwiched to the drawing board, and it was impossible to put it aside casually.

But why can't you find it anywhere?

Pei Tingyuan quickly discovered her abnormality and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Xihe told the truth...... I remember that the first draft was placed here, but no matter how I look for it now, I can't find it. ”

Pei Tingyuan's brows also frowned slightly, "Could it be that someone stole it?"
