Chapter 220: The Returning Man on a Rainy Night

The following week, Xu Kai and Chen Lin went to Seattle on a business trip, and Pei Ya had a rare leisure.

One of the benefits of an administrative secretary is that when her immediate boss is not there, she is equivalent to a day off.

In Seattle, at 10 a.m., the sun shines outside the window exceptionally well.

Lu Zhen, as the general manager of the marketing department, of course, is indispensable for foreign market research, or this business trip is what she has been looking forward to for a long time.

Lu Zhen is one year younger than Xu Kai, and he is also a top student at Stanford, and as one of the few Asian female students in the Ivy League, another driving force that supported Lu Zhen all the way into Xu's was Xu Kai.

Lu Zhen's ability is well known to everyone in the group, and Xu Kai also admires her, so there are some things that he just turns a blind eye to.

"Xu Kai, after the work is over in the past few days, do you want to go back to your alma mater?" She stood diagonally behind the man and called his name directly.

Xu Kai tilted his head slightly, knowing her thoughts: "You go by yourself, I'll give you a few days off." ”

Lu Zhen's beautiful red lips pursed lightly, and he didn't plan to give up: "I've already asked Secretary Chen, you don't have anything important next week, wouldn't you take this opportunity to relax?" ”

In private, Lu Zhen usually calls Xu Kai by his name or 'you', she believes that the relationship between them must be more than ordinary people, and she firmly believes so.

At the beginning, Tang Xin's existence, she was powerless to resist, but now that Xu Kai has no other opposite sex around her, she wants to try if she can become the person who accompanies him to grow old.

"Manager Lu, your work is very good, but it doesn't mean that you can investigate my itinerary at will, since I don't want to go, I won't go." Xu Kai's tone is extremely light, with a warm voice and a soft gaze.

But the partiality makes people feel alienated when they see it.

Lu Zhen didn't like this kind of alienation.

But she couldn't change either.

"Okay then, if you don't go, I won't go."

Xu Kai looked at Lu Zhen, he subconsciously reached out and smoothed her slightly frowning eyebrows, this woman is beautiful, gentle, capable, and deserves to be cared for, but she will not be that person.

"Xu Kai, I like you." I don't know where the courage came from, Lu Zhen suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Kai's wrist hanging in the air.

Through the suit and shirt, she could even feel his pulsation.

Xu Kai's eyes froze, he withdrew his hand, and his tone was still as flat as water: "You like the wrong person, I-won\'t-like-you-back (I won't like you), during work, I don't want you to spend your energy on these things, this week is urgent, give me an answer to the case in your hand as soon as possible." ”

After a formulaic explanation, Xu Kai put his hands in his trouser pockets, turned around and left, leaving a dark fragrance wafting through, making Lu Zhen's eyes wet.

How many years have passed, but she finally mustered up the courage today, but in exchange for this result.

She let out a long breath and was not disappointed, because everything was as she expected.

However, giving up has never been her way of doing -

Five days later.

City A, Nanfeng Garden, in a small apartment.

At this time, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, and the family of three had just had dinner, because of the 'windfall' a few days ago, this week's food was more abundant.

The two little things were full of food, sitting on the sofa and playing 'Scrabble', but my sister Pei Xinyou didn't know a single big word, and Pei Wenxuan was exhausted from playing.

He sighed: "Hey, the strong have been lonely since ancient times. ”

Pei Xinyou didn't quite understand his brother's words: "Brother, what does loneliness mean?" ”

Pei Wenxuan's bright little eyes glanced at Pei Ya, who was watching the Korean drama wipe her tears on the sofa, and said slowly: "Oh, it's like Mommy." ”

Pei Xinyou was puzzled again: "Brother, why does Mommy always cry when watching TV?" ”

Pei Wenxuan didn't hide anything and said: "She lacks love." ”

"Is this a disease? Is it curable? Pei Xinyou's eyes flashed, learning to urge Xiaoqiang's tone.

"Well, it does." A wicked smile flashed in Pei Wenxuan's eyes, but in the next second, he couldn't laugh.

"Brother, does Mommy need calcium supplementation or zinc supplementation? Or vitamins A, B, C, E? ”

Pei Wenxuan touched his compatriot little sister, and felt sympathy, when Mommy was pregnant with them, she must be seriously eccentric, otherwise how could her sister be stupid to the point of crying ghosts and gods like this, he felt a lot of pressure, not only to take care of Mommy in the future, but also to take care of his sister, how could he marry a daughter-in-law?

No, the first problem at the moment is to marry Mommy first, and then my sister.

Pei Ya focused on 'you from the stars', and was not affected by the contempt of her brother and sister at all.

She only remembers the events of the past five years, about what love is, she really doesn't know more than underage girls, more of a yearning and longing for love, but given that she is already a 'little widow', she has no hope for the future object, even if she is not married for the rest of her life, there is nothing bad.

Love! It's enough to keep it in your heart as a thought!

"Brother, why is Mommy smiling again?"

Pei Wenxuan wisely remained silent, and at this time, there was an unhurried knock on the door.

Seeing that Pei Ya had already sunk into Korean dramas and couldn't extricate himself, he got up, helped the stool, and looked at the cat's eyes, this time, he smiled weirdly again, and sighed in a childish voice: "The medicine is here." ”

Moving back to the chair, Pei Wenxuan opened the door and politely shouted to the man standing outside the door, "Uncle is so late, why did you come to my house?" Don't say anything, come in first, my mommy is watching TV and needs comfort urgently. ”

Pei Wenxuan reached out and grabbed Xu Kai's cold hand and pulled him in, Xu Kai also walked into the house very cooperatively, and changed into a pair of slippers that didn't fit well.

Obviously, there were no other men in the house, so much so that there were only women's slippers. For some reason, Xu Kai noticed this, and he was very comfortable.

It was raining outside, although Xu Kai came by car, he still got some drenched, his wet hair hung down on his forehead, and his sexy thin lips were slightly pale, maybe because he didn't get a good night's sleep this week, his dark circles at the moment were a little serious.

"Hello uncle." Pei Xinyou also greeted politely.

This greeting finally caught Pei Ya's attention, and the moment she saw the man appear, she stood up from the sofa Teng, and she could be described in four words: frightened.

Xu Kai looked at her, his sword eyebrows frowned, only to see that the woman's eyes were as charming as silk, her eyes were shining, the slightest mist lingered at the bottom of her eyes, and her slightly frowning eyebrows looked melancholy and mysterious.

"Hello President!" She greeted her loudly, and bowed along the way.

Xu Kai's poetic and picturesque mind dissipated at this moment, the corners of his perfect mouth twitched, and he asked, "Are you crying?" ”

"Report to the president, I didn't cry!" But just watching TV, she herself is not sad.

The corners of Xu Kai's mouth twitched again, and then he said coldly: "I forgot to bring the key." ”

"Huh?" Pei Ya didn't react at all, **OSS doesn't have only one property, right? Don't have a key? So?

"I'm calling Secretary Chen?" Pei Ya's IQ has been lowered to a whole new level.

Xu Kai's face was already covered with a layer of haze, he decided to be more straightforward, his sleep these days is too poor, he needs to make up for sleep tonight, it doesn't matter if he loses some face: "I will stay at your house for a day, and I will pay you the rent according to the hotel price, five hundred a night, is it enough?" ”

Bae Ya: "-" She must have come out of the Korean drama yet, she must be hallucinating.

Pei Wenxuan hurriedly greeted Xu Kai: "Uncle, you are free, just be at your own home." By the way, do you want to pay cash or credit card? It's not easy to use a credit card, so you might as well pay in cash. ”

Xu Kai seemed to be prepared, and as soon as Pei Wenxuan's voice fell, he took out a stack of money from his trouser pocket: "Here are five thousand, when I want to come to live, you can deduct it from the inside." ”

"Okay, it's a word, uncle, I'll give you a discount, give you one night for free, five thousand for eleven nights." Pei Wenxuan quickly took the money with his small hand, and the new game console he fancied was gone.

When Pei Ya was in a mess, Xu Kai had already crossed her body and went straight to the bathroom.

When Xu Kai came out of the bathroom, he was only wearing a white shirt, and his suit jacket and tie had been taken off, but the trousers were still wearing without moving, and the belt around his waist was shining with 24k gold. ”

Xu Kai rolled up his sleeves, the strong wrist tendons were visible, this was undoubtedly the result of his usual exercise, when he crossed Pei Ya's side again, he stopped suddenly, he looked down at her, his eyes were dim, he looked at the TV again, and said, "Do you like to watch Korean dramas?" ”

"Huh?"

"What the hell is your brain?" Unexpectedly, Xu Kai reached out and patted Pei Ya's head, the sea-like ink hair felt very good, making him forget the current situation for a while.

He instinctively withdrew his hand, when nothing happened, who expected the little woman to say in a daze: "President, you are so fragrant." ”

After that, she suddenly realized that she had lost her words, and hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "No, I meanβ€”thatβ€”your perfume smells so good." ”

"Do you like it?" He looked back at her and asked briefly.

"Iβ€”I like it." Sycophants are the primary means of professional survival, so said the son.

Pei Wenxuan covered his face, can Mommy not be so embarrassed? He felt that his face had been lost by Pei Ya, how would he gain a foothold in the entertainment industry in the future?

"Uncle, do you want to play Scrabble? It's still early and you can't sleep. ”

"Okay." Xu Kai glanced at Pei Ya, and the inexplicable thoughts that had accumulated for a week turned into a silence, and he didn't know what to say to her.

After a while, Pei Ya put Pei Xin to sleep leisurely, carried her into the bedroom, and took out a new air-conditioning quilt from the cabinet, she was thinking, if this quilt can be successfully 'sold', if the income of these days is added up, this year's rent can be solved, and some of the money earned by the children can be saved.

With such a small abacus, Pei Ya continued to be courteous.

"President, do you want water?"

"Just plain water, thank you."

Ten minutes later, she came over again: "President, do you want to eat?" ”

Xu Kai glanced at her deliberately, those watery eyes were his favorite: "What is there to eat?" "There's food, and he doesn't mind.

Pei Yasi thought for a moment, it seems that the family has a lot of food in store recently, but who is **oss? Can you eat what ordinary people eat? She finally said, "Cookies." ”

Xu Kai: "-" Is the little genius who plays games with himself really born by this woman?

Thinking of these two children, Xu Kai felt a burst of jealousy in his heart, so he became extremely hostile to the 'dead' man for no reason. (To be continued.) )
