Chapter 18: Late

Although she was unhappy, she did not refute him for the first time, considering that he still had to handle her father's case and was really tired after a day's work.

"What brings you here?"

Even if a big lawyer wants to do business, he will not come to a small company like theirs.

But if she said that he came for her, she would never dare to have such an idea.

"On the way."

Lying was commonplace to him, and he would just make up an excuse to get away with it.

"I'm hungry, cook for me."

He took out a key.

Su Yan turned his face away and thought of an excuse to refuse.

"I'm a little tired after a day's work."

"I'm a little tired too. I may need to think about the case again."

After saying that, Pei Xiao turned and left. He knew that she would definitely call him, and sure enough.

"Wait a moment."

No matter how tired she is, it is worth it for him to take over his father's case.

"I'm very busy, just say it if you have something to say."

Su Yan took the key from his hand and lowered his head silently.

"What do you want to eat?"

“Just do whatever you want.”

Pei Xiao walked in front of her and started the car after she sat down.

After returning home, Pei Xiao went into the house to change clothes.

After washing his hands, Su Yan walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and found that there were very few ingredients in it.

After opening her phone and ordering some meat and vegetables, she began to clean up the kitchen.

When Pei Xiao changed into his home clothes and came out, he saw Su Yan, with her hair tied up high, wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen.

"What are you going to do?"

"There's not much food in the fridge. I ordered takeout, which will be here soon. Can I make a tomato soup pot?"

He didn't say anything, but just walked up to her silently, pulled her up, and put her on the cooking table behind him.

"I haven't finished cleaning yet."

Su Yan didn't dare to look up to see the strong lust in his eyes, and could only look straight at his Adam's apple rolling at his collar.

“The food is about to arrive, and it’s a bit dirty here ... ”

Her voice became quieter and quieter until it was gone.

It was quiet all around, and the only sound was her flustered heartbeat.

Pei Xiao reached out and pushed her hair behind her ears, then he produced a clip from somewhere and pinned it on her head.

"It's easier to work this way."

Then he stood up and walked to the desk in the living room, turned on his computer and handled official business, as if nothing had happened before.

Su Yan touched the hairpin on her head. It was full of diamonds and was a bit prickly.

I took out my phone, opened the camera and checked the style. It was very cute and suitable for her.

Just as she was about to say something thank you, the doorbell rang. She hurried to the door, took the ingredients, and went back to the kitchen to get busy.

Soon, a simple meal was served.

When he saw her, Pei Xiao didn't know how much he didn't know about this girl.

"Come and eat it, it will get cold soon."

She made a single portion, and when she saw Pei Xiao sitting at the dining table, she took off her apron and prepared to leave.

"Let's eat together."

"It's getting late ... "

"I have a few questions for you about the case."

His words made Su Yan stop what he was doing and sit down at the dining table.

"Are there any materials that need to be supplemented?"

"Don't talk while eating."

She knew it was really difficult for her, but since she was asking for help, she could only pick up her chopsticks and eat in silence.

After eating, she cleaned up everything and saw Pei Xiao was still busy.

I wanted to leave, but I was worried about my father's case, so I could only sit on the sofa and wait silently.

The room was very quiet. Pei Xiao frowned from time to time, as if he had forgotten that there was someone else.

When he came out of the shower, he found Su Yan had fallen asleep on the sofa.

He grabbed a blanket and covered her with it, then walked to the balcony and dialed his friend's number.

"Ask more people to help look after that small company you mentioned last time."

"Why would Pei Lu be interested in such a small company? Could it be ... "

There was unbridled laughter from the other end, and several people understood what was going on.

"Are you really in love with that girl?"

The smoke dissipated along Pei Xiao's fingertips and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I was afraid she couldn't afford the lawyer's fees."

"We all understand."

As both of us are men and have been good friends for many years, I naturally understand what he means.

It’s just that Su Yan’s identity is complicated, so they have to remind him.

“Friendly reminder: You can have fun, but don’t get too excited.”

"I know what's going on."

After hanging up the phone, he returned to his desk and looked at the case file of Su Bingsheng.

It was dusk.

Su Yan woke up and found that he had slept very soundly just now, and a blanket had appeared on his body without him noticing.

She turned around and found Pei Xiao was still busy. She went to the kitchen to warm up a cup of milk, then came to the desk and found that the document in his hand belonged to her father.

She was delighted and made a slightly louder noise, causing him to look up.

"woke up?"

Seeing that the ashtray on the table was already full, Su Yan felt a little worried.

“Is it hard to fight?”

"It's not your concern. Prepare the lawyer's fees. I'm not cheap."

Putting the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, he looked at the timid woman holding the milk.

"I know your lawyer's fees are very expensive. Can you please delay? I will definitely give you all of them."

Su Yan opened it with some trepidation.

, she understood that it was a great mercy for him to take her father's case.

If I can't pay the lawyer's fees, I will be wasting his time.

"You can pay in installments, but my interest rate is very high and you need to pay it first."

He pulled the person into his arms, his eyes darkening.

"What?"

Su Yan opened his eyes slightly, but before he could hear what he meant, his lips were already blocked tightly.

Pei Xiao gently pinched her soft waist, and took the opportunity to use his tongue to break through the city gate, disturbing her heart that had just calmed down.

Su Yan was tormented by Pei Xiao for almost the entire night.

As expected, she got up late.

When I opened my eyes, it was already half past eight.

She hurriedly put on her clothes, picked up her bag and was about to go out.

"I send you."

Pei Xiao was standing at the door, fully dressed. It seemed that last night had not exhausted all his energy.

Su Yan felt like he was about to fall apart. He was sleepy and really wanted to sleep a little longer.

But unfortunately, workers don’t deserve to sleep.

Seeing such a good deal, she hesitated for a moment but still did not refuse.

The cool red Ferrari was driving on the road, and it took only forty minutes to reach the destination, which was a journey of one and a half hours.

Although the car was going very fast, he drove very steadily and Su Yan did not feel uncomfortable.

When he got downstairs, he conjured up a breakfast from somewhere.

After handing it to her, he disappeared at the end of the road without saying a word.

Carrying breakfast, Su Yan felt a little nervous after getting out of the elevator.

After all, it was a bit unreasonable to be late on the third day at work.

"Are you new here?"

Just as he was about to slip back to his workstation, he was grabbed by the middle-aged man in front of him.

Judging from his suit and tie, he should be a manager. Her eyes widened immediately.

It’s over, I’ve been caught red-handed.
