Chapter 271. .

In response to Li Yan's concern, Xiao Rui nodded and promised to protect himself.

The two men stood facing each other, neither speaking, and the wind was silent.

The people who were with them just now saw their captain coming. Some of them were afraid of Li Yan and wanted to leave immediately.

Some even left and wanted to drag others along with them.

"Now that the person has returned, we are relieved."

The person who is speaking looks around and says, "Go do what you need to do."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around them left in a hurry as if they were liberated, and ran straight towards the gate.

That speed was as if there was a monster chasing him from behind.

The man who was speaking had not left yet, his eyes were looking up at the sky, his fists were placed at his mouth.

"Captain, I have some documents that need your attention. When do you think you can come over?"

"I'll be leaving first."

He knew very well that if he didn't run away now, he would be beaten up later.

Qi Rui was a little puzzled as to why they all left.

While he was distracted, Li Yan didn't say anything.

Above the two people's heads, there were colorful fallen leaves, slowly falling down, landing on their shoulders and their heads.

The cold wind seemed to take something away, but also seemed to leave something behind.

When Qi Rui recalled this scene later, besides warmth, there were other emotions mixed in his heart, which made him see the serious and gentle look of this person standing in front of him even when he closed his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Qi Rui opened his eyes and saw Li Yan looking at him with a smile.

"So you..."

He seemed to think that what he said was wrong, and with a look of regret he changed the way he said it.

"How do you know I was kidnapped?"

"Also, who was the woman who came to you before?"

Li Yan paused for a moment while leaning on the table. Now he was standing and looking at Qi Rui who was sitting.

"Which one?"

There was no fluctuation in his mood.

If Qi Rui hadn't noticed that his eyes were on him, he would have thought that this man had no feelings at all.

"The last time you were injured, I saw a woman coming out of your room before I went in."

Speaking of this, Qi Rui paid special attention to his expression.

Li Yan chuckled. He actually looked quite good when he smiled like that.

"Her!" Li Yan murmured, wanting to explain slowly, but took a wrong turn.

"Guess?"

Xiao Rui didn't want to pay attention to this person. He should just say it directly instead of beating around the bush.

"Someone you like?"

Xiao Rui noticed his expression. Li Yan was stunned when he heard this answer and did not respond.

He just looked at this person with an expressionless face and calm eyes.

"Your imagination could be more vivid."

Qi Rui stood there in a daze, then blushed.

Did he guess wrong? But if he guessed wrong, he guessed wrong. Why bother making such a fuss about it?

"How have you been doing with your homework during this time?"

Xiao Rui felt uncomfortable when this was mentioned. He had just escaped from danger and was asked about his homework.

Moreover, this man was his own boss, so he felt like crying but had no tears.

But there was nothing he could do, because who called him the boss? He had no power to refute his words.

"It's done."

"Let's try it once."

Li Yan was very satisfied with this answer, and he ordered. Even his voice changed, becoming more stern, which made Xiao Rui panic.

"Boss, that's not necessary, right?"

Li Yan smiled, "You can get kidnapped just by going out. Do you think you have done your homework?"

"Boss, I was wrong."
