Bright Throne

Chapter 62

A meal time, for some people, flies by quickly, but for others, seconds seem like years.

The winter night was windy and cold, and it was hard to wait until the dinner party was over. Seeing that Qin Yi had the idea of ​​saying goodbye, Bai Wei keenly rushed ahead of Pei Hanrui and asked to stay: "Qin Yi, it's getting late, why don't you leave tonight and stay at our house for the night Well, go back tomorrow morning, okay? I still have a lot to say to you. "

"No."

Before Qin Yi could speak, Pei Hanrui's face darkened, and he refused.

"I didn't ask you again!" Bai Wei didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of her brother, she pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice to express her displeasure, she still looked at Qin Yi expectantly, and tugged at the corner of her brother's clothes to signal him to help.

Bai Han didn't care, but from Pei Hanrui's point of view, he didn't say that, he just looked at Qin Yi to see what he meant.

Qin Yi didn't like staying overnight, as if seeing his thoughts, Pei Hanrui reminded him slowly: "Duo Luo will be hungry if no one takes care of him."

"...Who is Doro?" Bai Wei was puzzled.

Qin Yi silently glanced at the calm Pei Hanrui, thinking that he had never seen you care about him before...

"That's my family's sled dog." Qin Yi happened to say goodbye politely, "Tonight's dinner is delicious, thank you for the hospitality, but let's forget about staying overnight. I'll go back first, and I'll contact you when I have time."

"Oh." Bai Wei's disappointment was beyond words, but seeing Qin Yi's resolute attitude, she had to give up, as if thinking of something, she said again, "Let my brother take you back. As for Mr. Pei, I will send you a ride." Well, I still have a few words to say to Mr. Pei."

This arrangement just prevented Qin Yi from facing Pei Hanrui alone, so he immediately agreed. Pei Hanrui squinted his eyes and glanced at Bai Wei thoughtfully. He didn't think he had anything to say to this girl, but when Look at Bai Han's face, let's just give it a little thin face for now.

The sky was already dark, and the environment around Baijia Manor was quiet, and the street lamps on both sides of the road showed a medieval European style.

It was not so much that Bai Wei gave him a ride, but Pei Hanrui was actually driving the car. Bai Wei sat in the co-pilot's seat, and the car slowly stopped by the side of the road. The two of them were silent, and the atmosphere was very strange.

Pei Hanrui lit a cigarette, and the smell of nicotine lingered in the narrow space. He rolled down the car window and took the cigarette out of his mouth. His eyes appeared illusory and hazy in the rising smoke. After a while , breaking the silence slowly: "Miss Bai, my time is as precious as your brother."

"...I know, I just don't want to see you and Qin Yi together." Bai Wei changed her submissive and shy look, looked directly into the man's black eyes, and spoke provocatively.

Pei Hanrui breathed out a puff of smoke shortly, feeling a little ridiculous, and said in a neutral manner: "What does the matter between me and Qin Yi have to do with you? The little girl's family, don't meddle in the adults' business."

"Hmph." Bai Wei blushed from choking, glared at him, opened the car door and got out of the car, "I...I hate you!"

"Go slowly, I don't need you to like me."

Pei Hanrui didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. Given his age, he wouldn't pay attention to a girl who smelled like milk. He rolled up the car window and walked away, leaving Bai Wei standing alone in the same place angrily. He stomped his feet, and after a while, he was picked up by the Bai family's bodyguards.

The road conditions at night were much better than during the day, Pei Hanrui's car was speeding along the road, and there were not many pedestrians on both sides.

"Hey, Mr. Pei, I've already arrived in San Francisco, do you want to send more people over?"

Pei Hanrui wore a headset in his left ear, and said lightly: "No need, the law and order here is not chaotic. Domestic work is mainly about stability, and you can contact me at any time if there is an emergency. Weekly meetings and reports will be carried out normally, mainly video conferences. If that If there is something urgent, I will fly back."

"I understand, but Mr. Pei, when are you coming back?"

Pei Hanrui didn't answer this question, and hung up the phone directly.The car was moving fast in the long tunnel, and the lights on both sides flickered on his side face, making him look very solemn.

After thinking about it, he called the CEO of NL in North America. When the person on the other side connected, he sounded quite surprised.

Pei Hanrui exchanged greetings in a few words and directly pointed out his intention.

"Oh? Did I hear you right? Our Young Master Pei actually came to me to recommend a model for me?" Jason exaggeratedly exclaimed in an extremely incredible tone, "You are still a new model, what did you do before? Never do such a thing.”

Pei Hanrui held the steering wheel with one hand, pinched the center of his eyebrows with the other, and said, "Stop talking nonsense, just sell me face."

"Well, even though he's a newcomer, he's able to attract both you and Selgeland at the same time. That shouldn't be too bad. I'm already a little interested in this kid named Qin Yi."

"You don't need to be interested in people." Pei Hanrui said slowly, "By the way, don't reveal to him that it's through my relationship."

"Why don't you say it? You Chinese always like to do this thing. You have to hide it when you are nice to you. Little things are twisted and rounded, and you are chasing him openly. If you want to pursue someone, you should pursue him openly. Give it to him generously, if he likes someone else, grab it! Tell him, 'boy, you only have to look at me, not that bitch', why keep it secret? Then how could he Do you know how good you are?"

What Jason said made Pei Hanrui dumbfounded. He was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "If it's really as simple as you said..."

A few days later, Qin Yi and Lao Ji visited Jon's family together. When talking about the adventure that day, Mrs. Jon almost cried on the spot. After dinner, they chatted and talked about the fashion industry. Unexpectedly, Jon It happens that there is an intention to let Pria men's clothing develop the Chinese market, but it has been missing an opportunity for publicity.

In a flash of inspiration, Old Ji proposed to cooperate with the K club of the Bai family. Given the relationship between Qin Yi and the brothers and sisters of the Bai family, it might not be impossible.

Pria Men's Wear and K Club are both top-notch companies in the fashion and media fields. Under the alliance, the publicity effect is definitely not bad. The two companies have never cooperated before, and Qin also happens to be the link in the middle.

For the American market, Selbi has a more strategic vision than Ji Hangfeng. With the backing of these two, Qin Yi is very likely to become popular in a short period of time.He was very excited about the proposal and its feasibility, and with the full efforts of several people, this publicity proposal was put on the official agenda.

Since this period of time, Qin Yi's daily life has been running between various social activities, shooting commercials, and catwalks. He has become more and more busy. On the contrary, he has not spent as much time at home as Pei Hanrui, and even a rich woman like Doro It's the mother's guy, who turned around and started to get close to Pei Hanrui—ah, although this pervert always wears strange clothes for him, he always thinks he's dirty.

On this day, Qin Yi and Searle had an appointment to be on a rookie interview program, and got up from the bed early in the morning before dawn.

Speaking of which, he hadn't slept in for a long time, and it had been a long time since anyone would shake him out of the bed with gentle voices and movements.

Qin Yi brushed his hair casually, brushed his teeth and washed his face, tidying himself up properly.

His room is on the second floor, and Pei Hanrui lives in the room next to the stairs. The door is usually closed, and Qin Yi never knocks, but when he passed by this morning, he found the door was ajar. Doro didn't know why Not being woken up by the sound, he ran over and rubbed against Qin Yi's leg, then dashed into Pei Hanrui's room.

"Duo Luo, come back—" Qin Yi didn't stop him for a moment, and the half-closed door was suddenly arched wide open. He glanced inside, but there was no one there.

Qin Yi hesitated for a moment. He knew that there must be a lot of design drafts inside. Pei Hanrui usually closed the door because he was afraid that Doro would go in and make trouble. After thinking about it, he decided to go in and hug the dog out.

After entering the room and carefully scanning the room, Qin Yi suddenly felt that his room was the difference between a 5-star hotel and a guest house. Every corner was cleaned spotlessly and neatly tidied up—including the bed.

The quilt spread out on the bed didn't have a single wrinkle, and there wasn't even half a hair on the pillow. It was cold to the touch. It didn't look like someone slept on it last night?

But Qin Yi is very sure that Pei Hanrui was at home last night.

He frowned slightly, went to the table and picked up Doro and hugged him. The little guy was still flopping around in his arms, stretching out his paws to reach the pile of paper balls on the table.

Qin Yi glanced over, the stack on the left side of the table was full of design drafts, the right side was office documents and faxes, and there were some books and materials. Completed manuscripts, and some unfinished documents, in the small vacant corner, there are ashtrays full of cigarette butts and empty coffee cups.

When his eyes touched the design draft, Qin Yi's heart suddenly moved slightly. He knew that it was wrong to peek at the designer's draft, but he still involuntarily reached out to pick it up and take a closer look.

One, two... There are seven or eight of them. The style of the clothes is men's formal wear, and the details are very carefully designed. Just by looking at the scratches on it, you can tell that it has been modified countless times. With his vision of being a model for these years , Judging from the design elements of this formal suit...it's probably a dress.

There is nothing strange about the dresses, but the models drawn on each manuscript, whether in terms of body shape or the size data marked on them, are no longer familiar to Qin Yi.

The room was very quiet, except for Doro who was whining in his arms, only Qin Yi's breathing and heartbeat were left.

He looked at it silently for a while, put the manuscript back gently, pressed it down with an ashtray, and closed the door tightly when he went out before putting Doro down.

Remembering that there was still milk in the kitchen downstairs, Qin Yi was about to warm up himself and Doro and fill his stomach at will. He was only halfway up the stairs when he heard voices coming from the kitchen.

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, and walked faster, and he saw Pei Hanrui messing with something inside. There was a cookbook spread out on the cabinet, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. severe cold.

"Why did you get up so early today?" Pei Hanrui looked back at him, a little surprised, but he didn't stop, took out the warming milk and handed it to him, smiling, "Freshly squeezed strawberries, while Drink hot."

Qin Yi took it silently, holding it in both hands, the temperature was just right, not hot but warm enough, the warm feeling passed down the cup to the palm of his hand, Qin Yi lowered his head and took a sip, the sweet milk fragrance warmed his whole chest Desperately, Doro put his front paws on his thigh, stared at him helplessly, wagged his tail, begging for a share pitifully.

Qin Yi glanced at it, raised his eyebrows, and said to it, "Want to drink?"

"Oh!" Doro looked at him excitedly.

Qin Yi looked at it, then looked at the milk, and then—raised his head and drank all the rest, not a single drop was left, and finally licked his lips, looked at it proudly, and said with his mouth, I, my .

"Ouch!!"

"Hey, why are you drinking so fast?" Pei Hanrui was speechless looking at the empty cup at that moment, and brought a plate of freshly made breakfast in front of him. The sandwich and pancakes looked pretty good, but the pancakes were a bit overcooked Muddy, Pei Hanrui took the knife and fork over, and carefully cut off the mushed piece, but Qin Yi held down his hand halfway through the cut.

"Did you sleep well yesterday?" Qin Yi asked a question that was far from clear.

Pei Hanrui was a little strange, a little happy, and smiled lightly: "It's good." Then, he took another small cup of milk and poured it to Doro, and brought himself a cup of bitter coffee.

Qin Yi glanced at him complicatedly, it was clear that he was so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep, and he even found time to make breakfast.

He looked down at the slightly mushy edges of the pancake, and quietly cut off the whole piece and ate it.

"Pei Hanrui," he raised his head, stared into the other person's eyes, and said softly, "you'd better go back to China."

The smile in Pei Hanrui's eyes hasn't disappeared yet, and when he heard this, he just raised his face and raised the corners of his mouth: "Unless you go back with me."

Qin Yi thought about it seriously, and said, "I can't go back right now."

"Then I'll stay here for now."

"...you don't have to condescend to make these things yourself."

"Oh, I'd love to. If you don't want to eat it, give it to Doro."

Qin Yi took a deep look at him, stopped talking, and just ate everything on the plate silently.

Hmm... it tastes pretty good.

When Pei Hanrui turned back to serve the fruit, Qin Yi couldn't help but licked the plate.
