"Gong Nanling, are you preparing to return to Yunjing now?"

Lu Yiyao's low and cold voice came out from the phone.

"Little Uncle, you?"

Gong Nanling turned around and looked around. He wanted to see where the surveillance camera in the office was installed.

If it wasn't for the surveillance system, how could Lu Yiyao be so clear on his movements?

"Gong Nanling, immediately give up on this idea. If you do not resolve the matter of the Central Factory within one day, then forget about coming back. "

Lu Yiyao said 'heartlessly'.

"Little uncle, you …" Meng Meng … "She …"

Gong Nanling became incoherent when he heard it.

Ding Pei retreated to the door and closed it softly.

"Gong Nanling, Gu Mengmeng, you don't have to worry."

"How can I not be worried? She's me …"

"He's you what?"

Lu Yiyao asked in a cold tone.

"She is …" She's the person I love the most … "

Gong Nanling's ears turned red and he subconsciously looked towards the door. Luckily, Ding Pei was smart enough to walk out of the room. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to say such words in front of her.

"Gong Nanling, what can you do if you come back now?"

Lu Yiyao asked again.

"Come back, I can …"

Gong Nanling was at a loss for words, he didn't know how to answer him.

"Gong Nanling, do you know what you should do now?"

"I …"

"Only when he becomes stronger will he be able to protect the people he loves."

Lu Yiyao's voice was full of power.

"Little Uncle, I know."

Gong Nanling felt ashamed and lowered his head.

"Work hard."

Lu Yiyao twitched his thin lips and said coldly.

"Yes."

Gong Nanling's eyes felt a bit itchy for some unknown reason. He could hear Lu Yiyao's concern from those simple words.

After hanging up, he stood still for a moment.

At the bottom of his eye, a faint red color emerged. The hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously. Raising his eyes, he forcefully suppressed the bitterness in his eyes. Taking a step forward, he walked towards the office desk.

His legs felt as heavy as lead. His heart felt as if it was stabbed with a sharp sword. With every step he took, he would stab deeper into the ground.

Resisting the pain in his heart, he slowly walked back to his desk. He held the edge of the table with both hands and took several deep breaths. His emotions had only slightly calmed down.

Knock, knock, knock.

Ding Pei stood at the door and lightly knocked.

"Come in."

Gong Nanling answered with a hoarse voice, giving off a cold and lonely feeling.

"Young Director Gong, are you alright?"

Ding Pei walked in. Her expression was still a little gloomy. His heart, however, was filled with concern.

She was such a person who was cold on the outside but hot on the inside.

Perhaps having lost her parents at such a young age, she had already experienced the world's chilliness. She hid everything within her heart and never revealed her true feelings. The feeling he gave others was that he was indifferent and cold.

"I'm fine. "To …"

Gong Nanling raised his hand and handed her phone to her.

Ding Pei took the paper and was about to open her mouth to say something when she felt a numbing sensation in her palm.

A string of familiar phone numbers appeared on the screen.

Ding Pei's expression tensed up as she raised her eyes and said to Gong Nanling.

"Young Director Gong, I'm sorry, take a call."

"I'm fine."

Gong Nanling answered indifferently, pulled over the class chair and sat down.

Ding Pei quickly walked out of Gong Nanling's office. She looked down at the numbers on the screen and hesitated.

He pursed his lips and tightened the tip of his fingers.

"Fifth brother …"

She lowered her voice.

"Xiao Pei, where are you now?"

"I'm at Central Factory."

Since the other party was someone she trusted greatly, she didn't try to hide it from him.

"Are you still working?"

"Mm …"

Ding Pei replied lightly.

"I'm downstairs at the basketball court."

The voice was warm and magnetic.

"Downstairs?"

Ding Pei was startled. A trace of surprise appeared on her dull face.

"You're in the middle?"

"Yes."

The other party replied warmly.

"I'll be right down."

Ding Pei replied. His heartbeat inexplicably quickened.

"Alright."

The other party smiled faintly.

Ding Pei held her phone tightly and quickly went downstairs.

There was a big basketball court under the factory building.

In the past, at this time, there were many executives who would 'spar' with each other here. But now, there was not a single person present. The empty court looked desolate.

The lamps on the four sides of the street were broken in half and the lighting was dim.

These broken street lamps were basically man-made. The money for maintenance had already been allocated, but there was still no sign of maintenance. What was broken was still bad.

Ding Pei had just walked to the basketball court when she saw a familiar figure sitting on a pole under the basketball stand.

"Fifth brother …"

She slowed her pace and called out softly.

"Xiao Pei …"

Jiang Zhaowu turned around and stood up.

"Xiao Pei, you're still up so late?"

"I have a lot of things to do, but I'm not done yet?"

The two of them chatted as they walked.

"Have you eaten?"

Jiang Zhaowu frowned and a hint of worry flashed across his eyes.

"Yes."

Ding Pei replied coldly.

"What about you?"

"I'll eat too."

Jiang Zhaowu looked at her and smiled.

"If you are here, what about the restaurant?"

"The restaurant is closed."

Jiang Zhaowu put his hands in his pockets and a hint of worry appeared on his handsome brows. Although she covered it up well, Ding Pei still felt that his heart was heavy.

"Is something wrong?"

"None …"

Jiang Zhaowu casually shook his head, pursed his lips and smiled.

"Yiyao doesn't want to open it?"

"Why?"

The business of Yuxi Restaurant was very good, and in these few years, there had already been a lot of customers. It was truly a pity to have it stop just like that.

A trace of doubt appeared on Ding Peiqing's cold face. She had a faint feeling in her heart that the reason Lu Yiyao had shut down the 'Yuxi' was probably related to Jiang Zhaowu.

"I don't know …"

Jiang Zhaowu pursed his lips and shrugged. In order to prevent Ding Pei from discovering anything, he pushed all the 'reasons' onto Lu Yiyao.

After all, Lu Yiyao wasn't an ordinary person. Nobody knew what he wanted to do.

"What a pity …"

Ding Pei said lightly.

"I'm fine. If you want to eat it, I can make it for you anytime. "

Jiang Zhaowu turned his body and withdrew his gaze. He lowered his eyes and looked at her. The dim street light fell on his body. Although his facial features could not be seen, it was against the light. The trace of love in her eyes, on the other hand, was clearly visible to Ding Pei.

His heart couldn't help but throb.

His lips were slightly numb.

She suddenly remembered that day at Ding Mo's house, they 'accidentally' kissed.

Behind his ears, it was slightly hot.

"You came this time because …"

Ding Pei changed the topic.

She looked ahead and avoided Jiang Zhaowu's doting gaze.

"I …"

Jiang Zhaowu's eyes flashed and he was a little hesitant. His fingers slightly curled up.

"Hmm?"

Seeing that he wanted to say something but hesitated, Ding Pei thought to herself that there might be some 'secret mission'.

"If you can't say it, then don't say it."

"No, you can say …"0

Jiang Zhaowu raised his eyebrows and replied in a hurry.

"…"

Although there was no expression on Ding Pei's face, she was still a little panicked. His chest and abdomen seemed to be filled with cotton wool. Blocking it in and out of breath, he felt a little uncomfortable.
