Ye Fei was a little absent-minded throughout the entire auction. When it came to the string of Buddhist beads that he marked, he almost forgot to raise the sign. It was only after Gu Ruijia reminded him that he came to his senses, but his heart was still in a mess.
If what Li Youlong said was true and Yan Xiao was an orphan, then there was no such thing as family forcing marriage. In that case, why would Yan Xiao want to marry me?
He remembered Yan Xiao saying he didn't want to get divorced, the 200 million he spent without hesitation, and the crayfish he peeled for him at the barbecue restaurant that day. A certain thought in his mind became clearer and clearer.
But how is that possible?
I had no contact with him before I got married. After all, Yan Xiao had a face like that, and no one who had seen him would forget it. Moreover, in their previous life, the relationship between the two was very distant, almost like roommates.
In the past two years, Yan Xiao has never expressed anything special to me. Sometimes, they don't even say a word to each other in a whole day. Maybe I am overthinking it...
Ye Fei took out her cell phone, opened the search engine, and typed in Yan Xiao's name for the first time.
A lot of information suddenly appeared below. Ye Fei started from the first line and read it carefully. However, the encyclopedia only lists his achievements, which are like flattery, and none of them are useful.
"What are you doing?" Gu Ruijia came over and whispered, "Don't hold up the sign. Everyone is looking at you. You have already taken a picture of the Buddhist beads."
"Hmm?" Ye Fei raised her head and met the host's awkward yet polite smile.
He put his hands down, nodded and smiled calmly at everyone around him, without any embarrassment of being distracted and being watched.
"What happened?" Gu Ruijia asked him sideways when everyone's attention shifted to the next auction item.
"You..." Ye Fei pondered for a moment and looked at Gu Ruijia, "Do you know Yan Xiao's family situation?"
Gu Ruijia immediately shouted reflexively: "I'm a straight man!" causing the people around him to look over here.
Facing Ye Fei's indescribable look, he scratched his head embarrassedly: "You asked me this all of a sudden, making it seem like I'm interested in Brother Xiao and have investigated him privately."
"Forget it." Ye Fei held his forehead and kept reminding himself in his heart that humans and Huskies are separated by species, so don't be angry.
"That's right," Gu Ruijia grumbled unconvincedly, "Don't you know your man's family situation? Why are you asking me?"
He paused, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Ye Fei in disbelief: "No way, you haven't met Brother Xiao's family?"
Ye Fei's eyes suddenly paused. He had never seen it before.
In his previous life, he was so focused on his work that he didn't pay any attention to this problem. Even if he had doubts occasionally, he would forget them in an instant. Now that I think about it, there is something wrong.
Since he got married under pressure from his family, he had to behave himself to his family after marriage, but Yan Xiao had never mentioned this to him.
At night, after washing up, Ye Fei leaned against the head of the bed and tried to contact Yan Xiao several times, but stopped at the critical moment. If Yan Xiao was really lying, then he must be hiding something from me. You may not be able to get the answer by asking directly, so it’s better to ask someone else.
He squinted his eyes and stared at Yan Xiao's WeChat avatar for a while, then switched to the address book and clicked on Cheng Minghao's dialog box.
Ye Fei thought for a moment and typed——
[Ni Fei Ge]: I have a favor to ask of you.
Cheng Minghao replied almost immediately——
[Cheng-Peter]: Brother Fei, tell me what you want, I promise to do it for you!
Ye Fei took a sip of water and typed slowly.
[Ni Fei Ge]: I have a friend who works in new media, and I want to do some marketing for their official account. I remember that your company has cooperated with short videos. Do you have the contact information of their operations manager?
[Peter Cheng]: That’s it? It's very simple. Just wait, I’ll send you his WeChat business card right away.
Cheng Minghao moved quickly and sent the man's WeChat message almost in the next second.
Ye Fei didn't add it. After all, it was just an excuse. He continued typing.
[Ni Fei Ge]: Thank you.
[Ni Fei Ge]: You replied so quickly, are you done with your work?
[Peter Cheng]: Yes, I just got back to the hotel. I was so tired that I wanted to fall asleep right away. But Brother Xiao definitely won’t sleep. I bet he’s still working hahahaha.
Finally, they talked about the topic he wanted to talk about, and Ye Fei sat up slightly straighter.
[Ni Fei Ge]: That’s right, you know him so well. Have you two known each other for many years?
[Peter Cheng]: Yes, we were classmates in high school and college.
Ever since Cheng Minghao found out about his brother Xiao's seven-year secret love affair, he felt extremely sympathetic. Now that I have finally caught Ye Fei, I naturally have to improve her favor for my buddy without leaving any trace.
He couldn't tell anyone about his secret crush. If he told anyone, his brother Xiao would kill him. What else could he do?
A light bulb went off in Cheng Minghao's head, and he suddenly remembered what his ex-girlfriend said: handsome, strong and tragic men are the easiest to touch people's hearts.
Brother Xiao has both beauty and strength, but as for misery... with Brother Xiao's silent personality, he will definitely not sell it, so I'll do it for him!
Cheng Minghao's eyes rolled and he sent a series of messages to Ye Fei.
[Peter Cheng]: Brother Xiao was a genius in our school back then, and was specially recruited with the highest scholarship. I can work and study at the same time and always get first place in the exams. That’s awesome.
[Peter Cheng]: I heard that our school teachers still talk about him.
[Ni Fei Ge]: Did you start working part-time in high school?
[Cheng-Peter]: Yes, you know, Brother Xiao is alone, who else can he rely on if not himself?
[Peter Cheng]: Well, because of my personality, I easily offend my boss and customers, and I am always fired.
……………………
Ye Fei no longer read what Cheng Minghao sent. At this point, he was absolutely certain that Yan Xiao was indeed an orphan, and the reason for his contractual marriage with him was fake.
I didn't expect that I would be deceived by someone like Yan Xiao.
Ye Fei threw the phone on the bedside and smiled faintly. That’s really great of you. You’re waiting for him. Don’t you want him to know? He had to figure it out.
Yan Xiao didn't know what happened to Ye Fei.
Early in the morning, he got up on time, washed, had breakfast, and left the hotel like the previous two days. After walking a few steps, Cheng Minghao suddenly leaned close to his ear and asked, "Brother Xiao, are we going back tonight?"
Yan Xiao looked at him with an Alzheimer's look for a few seconds before nodding.
Cheng Minghao took a deep breath, told himself not to bother with him, and asked again: "So what are you going to bring back for Ye Fei?"
After talking with Ye Fei last night, Cheng Minghao felt that Yan Xiao would never be able to improve his relationship with Ye Fei by himself. He must appear at this time. Although his IQ is not as good as Yan Xiao's, he has emotional intelligence.
When he heard Ye Fei's name, Yan Xiao's steady steps suddenly paused. He turned to Cheng Minghao in confusion, silently asking him what he meant.
Cheng Minghao explained: "Generally speaking, when we travel to other cities or go on business trips, we always bring back local specialties for our family and friends."
Is that so.
Yan Xiao nodded thoughtfully. The flight time he applied for was from 7 to 10 pm. The conference ended at about four o'clock, and three hours was enough time for Ye Fei to choose a gift.
He walked into the venue surrounded by bodyguards. There was no fluctuation on his face, but he remembered the incident clearly in his heart.
Compared with the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony of the Internet Conference is much simpler. Yan Xiao had previously turned down a speech at the opening ceremony, and also refused to go on stage to speak at the closing ceremony.
He sat in the first row with an expressionless face throughout the whole process, and no one knew what he was thinking.
However, his face was already outstanding, and it was even more conspicuous among a group of people who were at least fifty years old. It was like he had his own spotlight, attracting the reporters' cameras to move towards him constantly.
Yan Xiao doesn't like being on camera, and he doesn't like a bunch of strangers commenting on him. But I couldn't stop it as I was in the meeting, so I could only frown and endure it.
Fortunately, the closing ceremony did not last long, and soon, all parties began to leave in an orderly manner under the guidance of professional security guards. After a while, the packed conference hall was mostly empty.
But as a heavyweight guest who could sit in the first row, Yan Xiao could not leave immediately and had to accept a short interview.
The professional interview had already been conducted two days ago, and this interview is more entertaining. After all, the general public cannot understand those technological terms. What they want to know more about is the daily life of these big daddies.
For example, at the Internet conference two years ago, a big shot gave a very wonderful speech. However, after it was posted online, it was not as popular as the women's jacket he was wearing.
A tall, sweet-faced female reporter came to the first row with a microphone. After some polite conversation, she asked the first question to the group: "The conference is over now. What are your plans for the future?"
Boss A said with a smile: "I think Jiangcheng is a great place. I plan to take a good look around, take a look at the local customs and culture, and investigate whether it is necessary to set up a branch office."
Boss B said: "There are too many people in the exhibition these days. I haven't had time to see the high-tech products displayed by other companies. I will study them carefully later. The creativity of young people today should not be underestimated."
Boss C said: "I have a dinner date with a few friends to discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on the future of humanity."
When the female reporter heard this, she was immediately in awe.
Wow! The boss is the boss, he is so awesome even in his daily life! Mr. Yan is so capable, what he is going to do next must be even more impressive!
The female reporter was inexplicably expectant. She moved the microphone in front of Yan Xiao and asked, "Where is Mr. Yan?"
Yan Xiao glanced at his watch. There were still two hours and thirty-six minutes until seven o'clock, and the time left for him was getting less and less.
He lowered his eyes to look at the female reporter and asked politely, "Can I leave now that I've answered your question?"
The female reporter was not prepared for his sudden question and responded subconsciously: "Sure."
"Thank you," Yan Xiao said, "I'm going to buy some local specialties for Ye Fei." Then without stopping, he turned around and strode out of the venue. In the blink of an eye, even the shadow disappeared.
The big guys ABC who were waiting for the young talent to make a brilliant speech: "???"
The female reporter, who was already ready to admire him, said: "???"
When this interview video was posted online as news, it did not attract much attention at first.
Everyone's attention is focused on the new costume web drama "The Empress Dowager's Biography".
"The Empress Dowager's Biography" is adapted from an online novel. The name is not very good, even a bit tacky, but the content is very exciting. Especially the character of the heroine, which is a departure from the image of the saintly little white flower that domestic screenwriters love to use. She is brave, resourceful, straightforward and efficient, and she shows no mercy when scheming against the villains, which makes people very addicted to the story.
It was not popular for a while in the early days of its launch because it was not well-known. But as the plot got better, the click rate kept rising and the popularity remained high, even to the point of being discussed by the whole nation. It is the only drama in recent years that has an audience spanning men, women, young and old.
After all, life is already so hard, who doesn’t want to watch something exciting in their spare time?
As for the Internet conference, that is the business of the top bosses and has nothing to do with ordinary people like them! The money earned is not shared with them.
But who can blame the genius who edited the video? He was so cunning as to use Yan Xiao as the video cover, which really disturbed those who love beauty. I don’t know where they got the news from, but they soon found their way to this Weibo post.
"What the hell! I need the information of this guy on the cover in one second!!"
"Oh my god, so handsome! Is he a staff member of the conference? Why does he look like someone who is not easy to mess with?"
"Ahhh this jawline! This nose! It's so excellent!"
"Hey, let me see what this video says."
Then they realized, what kind of staff member is this? Since he is sitting with the boss, he must be the boss too! But Yan Xiao...this name seems a little familiar, where have you heard it before?
"Ah!!! I remember now! He's the CEO of Feixiao Technology! He's very low-key and never shows up!"
"Ahhh, hubby, I am willing to spend money on you!! I will never criticize your game for being a rip-off again!"
"I have always treasured photos of my husband from a few years ago. He looks much more imposing now than before! I almost didn't recognize him."
"I'm dead! This Yan is so stunning!"
"She is richer than you and prettier than you [dog head]"
"The guy upstairs is so bold! Shut up!"
The beauty lovers continued to read on while licking the screen. There was nothing special about the first few bosses. They all spoke very seriously, which was very consistent with their identities. But when it was Yan Xiao's turn, the style suddenly changed.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I'm dying of laughter! Did you see the expressions of the reporters and the dads next to them? They're all stunned!"
"Hahahahahahaha sorry, I just want to know who Ye Fei is now!"
"I also want to ask who Ye Fei is, hahahaha, is he so proud?"
"Boss Yan made me laugh to death. A real man leaves without looking back! So the question is, who is Ye Fei? I feel the answer is very important."
"It turns out that the boss is just like me. He always brings local specialties back when he goes out. Hahahaha. I suddenly feel that President Yan has become more down-to-earth."
……………………
The spectators love to watch gossip, especially since Yan Xiao subverted their impression of technology giants in the video, which is a kind of cute contrast. Soon, "Buy local specialties for Ye Fei" broke through the siege and became a hot topic among the discussions about "The Empress Dowager's Biography".
There is no privacy in the Internet age, and Ye Fei is not a real amateur. In less than an hour, his personal information was exposed.
She graduated from a top university in China, her family runs a small film and television company, and she got married to Yan Xiao half a year ago. None of this mattered; what caused the sensation was the photo attached to the back.
Ye Fei was wearing his sexy black shirt and leaning against the wall smoking.
He is tall, with a slim waist and long legs. Because he was biting the cigarette butt, his thin lips were slightly open. The facial features from the side are three-dimensional and delicate, with the jawline being particularly clear. Maybe someone happened to call him when the photo was taken. He slightly turned his eyes to look in the direction of the camera with no expression on his face.
In the swirling white smoke, that look was cold and wild, as if it could penetrate the lens.
"I love this look! No wonder she was able to marry Mr. Yan!"
"Ahhhhhhhh so beautiful, wild and sexy! Let's be frank, I want to fuck him!"
"I'm stunned by his handsomeness! I don't know whether I should envy Ye Fei or President Yan..."
"This couple is a perfect match!! All the face lovers will be satisfied!"
"I'm really envious! President Yan was still thinking about Ye Fei when he went to the meeting. The two of them must have a very good relationship."
However, these compliments that started with her appearance did not last long, as people began to reveal information about Ye Fei.
"Stop licking me, Ye Fei is just an embroidered pillow. Some time ago, she was kicked out of her own company by her own father because of blind investment. The announcement is still posted on Dingyuan's official blog."
"I have no ability, but I have a lot of tricks. I can only deceive dull science and engineering men like Mr. Yan."
"I've been in the film and television industry, and I've heard about Ye Fei before. He insisted on spending a million to buy an IP worth hundreds of thousands, and it has become a joke in the industry."
What is going on? The onlookers didn't expect that seeing a beauty would lead to other gossips. They went to Dingyuan's official Weibo with doubts, and actually found the announcement of Ye Fei's resignation.
"This... I don't know what to say. I just feel sorry for Mr. Yan. He can obviously find someone better."
"The money Ye Fei invested belongs to Mr. Yan, right? As expected, it's not his own money so he doesn't feel bad about it. I feel a little sick."
"There's no need to be like this. As long as President Yan is happy, that's fine."
"Oh, forget it, delete the photo I just saved."
The name of Feixiao Technology and Yan Xiao's face are already popular, and coupled with the reversal of Ye Fei's personality, "Buy specialty products for Ye Fei" came from behind and surpassed other topics in one fell swoop, rising to the top of the hot search, and the discussion is getting higher and higher.
On the other hand, Ye Fei didn’t know about this yet as he was very busy these days.
With the popularity of "The Empress Dowager's Biography", IP has quietly become popular. Bargain prices have become history, and a work that is slightly popular starts at a million.
Even so, major film and television companies cannot buy it. Because before, Tianxi was like a harvester, taking all the IPs into its pocket. There was no other way, they could only humble themselves and go talk to Tianxi.
Gu Ruijia was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He finally got rid of the bad temper he had a while ago. He pushed a contract in front of Ye Fei and said proudly: "The film and television rights of "No Return" have been sold to Baofeng Media for eight figures."
He put his hands on his hips and laughed: "You don't know, those film and television companies that were so arrogant before. In order to buy IP, they are very honest in front of me. Let them laugh at me! It feels good to be mean for a while, but your wallet will go to the crematorium, hahahaha."
Gu Ruijia became more and more excited as he spoke, and took out his phone: "No, I have to post a Weibo to celebrate."
Ye Fei reminded him: "Don't mention the specific amount."
Gu Ruijia typed without even looking up: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
The specific amount is a trade secret, but vague numbers like a few digits can still be made public. Sometimes, film and television companies will even use this opportunity to promote adapted TV series or movies.
After posting on Weibo, Gu Ruijia felt refreshed. Just as he was waiting to read the comments, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was his assistant calling.
He said that a film and television company was interested in a domestic intrigue novel written by Tianxi, and asked Gu Ruijia when he was free to talk to him. Gu Ruijia had no choice but to go out in a hurry, unaware of what a big stir his Weibo post had caused.
"Holy crap! Is this true? Didn't someone in the industry just reveal that IP is worthless?"
"That was before! After The Empress Dowager became popular, the price of IP also went up. I just explained it to you! And you still said I was a Ye Fei fanatic!"
"It can't be true, how can it be that high! This Gu Ruijia must have come out on purpose to whitewash Ye Fei."
"Fuck! It's true. Baofeng Media's official Weibo liked it."
"So Ye Fei is a very scary man! His investment vision is very accurate. How did he predict that the price of IP would skyrocket?"
"An IP cost one million to buy, but it was sold for tens of millions. It's a huge profit! What happened to those who said before that he invested recklessly? Ahhhh, this little brother is so cool, I love him!"
"Sure enough, big guys all marry big guys..."
"I'm obsessed with this beautiful couple!!"
……………………
The continuous reversals satisfied the onlookers, and the search statistics following this topic are getting higher and higher.
When Ye's father heard about this, he was taking Ye Yao to a banquet. He wanted to train his youngest son, so naturally he wanted to hand over all the connections he had made to Ye Yao.
One of them said: "Ayao is obedient and sensible, Old Ye is so lucky."
"Oh, come on." Father Ye's mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear, but he still pretended to be humble, "What kind of blessing is this? It's good enough that I didn't get angry to death."
"No way," another person said, "Why did A Yao make you angry?"
"It's not him," Ye's father snorted, "It's his brother! Maybe you've heard of him. He insisted on hoarding IPs, and he wouldn't listen to anything I said! Selling IPs can only make a little money, and it's good enough if it doesn't break the bank."
Father Ye sighed deeply, looking like a good father: "Don't be afraid of you laughing at me, that kid is really a hopeless case. Fortunately, A Yao is here, otherwise I don't know what to do. If Ye Fei had half the ability of his brother, I would not let him leave the company."
Having been in the film and television industry for many years, Ye's father is well versed in the art of promoting one over the other. Today he deliberately mentioned Ye Fei to serve as a foil for Ye Yao. In his opinion, this son was of little use.
After finishing speaking, Father Ye secretly waited for his friends to agree with him. However, for some reason, he always felt that his friends' faces suddenly became strange.
After an awkward silence, a person who had a good relationship with Ye's father said tactfully: "Old Ye, have you not paid attention to this aspect recently? The price of IP has increased now."
Father Ye was stunned for a moment. Ever since "No Return" was snatched away by Ye Fei, he really hadn't paid attention to online novels anymore. Isn’t it better to have our own screenwriter? Why spend so much money on a half-finished product!
Father Ye waved his hand disapprovingly: "How high can that thing go!" Making tens of thousands of dollars from an IP is not enough to make enough money.
"You don't have to say good things for him," Father Ye took a sip of wine and said firmly, "I have really made up my mind this time. I will have no successor! Shut down Dingyuan! And I will never let Ye Fei come back to make trouble again!"
"Um..." Finally, someone couldn't stand it any longer, "Old Ye, the IP has indeed increased a lot."
Father Ye said disdainfully: "How much?" Could it be hundreds of thousands?
The man said, "Your Ye Fei sold one today for an eight-digit price."
With a clang, the wine glass in Ye's father's hand fell to the ground. He didn't care about his shoes and pants being splashed with water, and grabbed the man and asked, "How much? Are you kidding me?"
"This is nothing to joke about. If you don't believe me, go online and check it out for yourself." The man sneered and secretly decided to stay away from Ye's father in the future. There is no need to cooperate with someone as short-sighted and far-sighted as him.
Ye's father and Ye Yao grabbed their phones at the same time, and after taking a look, their faces turned pale.
This time, the person being ridiculed became Ye's father.
If he was not so short-sighted and let Ye Fei stay in the company, then the one who made the big money this time would not be Tianxi, but Dingyuan.
And through this incident, we can also see that Ye's father is not as good to Ye Fei as he said, otherwise he would not do such a thing. Even if your own child makes a huge mistake, it is still better than other people's ginseng fruit.
Fortunately, Ye Fei worked hard to improve herself, otherwise, who knows to what extent she would have been abused by this biased father.
I heard that Ye Fei was born to Ye’s father’s first wife. As expected, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. And there is Ye Yao, who looks quite innocent, but is quite good at stepping on his brother to get to the top. People who can even ignore blood ties are the most terrifying. You should stay away from them in the future.
Father Ye didn't know that he was about to become a laughing stock in the circle, and he was feeling the pain.
How does it feel to miss out on tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in net profits?
Father Ye covered his chest with his hands, and with his left hand he wanted to slap Ye Yao, who had suggested that Ye Fei and Ding Yuan should completely sever their relationship, and with his right hand he wanted to slap himself, who had listened to his advice.
Not long after Yan Xiao boarded the plane, he received a WeChat message from Ma Jianfang, the head of Feixiao’s public relations department, and learned that he and Ye Fei had become a trending topic on Weibo.
Having worked in Feixiao for five years, Ma Jianfang naturally understood his boss's temper. If he is the only one on the hot search, Ma Jianfang will immediately contact Weibo to delete it.
But isn’t there Ye Fei? Who knows what the boss means? It’s safer to ask.
Yan Xiao frowned briefly and clicked into the topic.
At this time, because of Gu Ruijia’s Weibo post, the negative comments had been removed. There was a lot of high praise at the beginning, praising Yan Xiao, praising Ye Fei, praising both of them at the same time, which was very harmonious.
Yan Xiao looked at words such as "very good match", "a perfect couple", "this couple is amazing", and a faint smile flashed across his lips.
He scrolled through the comments one by one, saved the screenshots he thought were good, and moved them to an album called "Ye Fei". Only then did he let Ma Jianfang handle the public relations for the relevant topic.
Cheng Minghao was so regretful seeing this. It was such a good opportunity. He could have taken the opportunity to market a new game and guaranteed a profit. It was such a pity. Fortunately, that interview video cannot be used for public relations. After all, there is more than just Yan Xiao in it, so it can still get some popularity.
So, when Ye Fei reacted and went to Weibo, he only saw that interview.
Today is Wednesday, and Yan Xiao is wearing the dark blue suit that is exclusive to Wednesdays. He stood up straight and looked very serious when he said he was going to buy some local specialties for Ye Fei. It seems that no matter what interview or Internet conference, it is not as important to him as this.
Ye Fei watched the video again and again, looking at Yan Xiao's hurried back, and she couldn't describe the feeling in her heart. In both his lives, including his family, Yan Xiao was the best person to him.
So no matter why Yan Xiao lied to him about marriage, he couldn't be angry with him.
Ye Fei sighed, closed the video window, got up and went to the living room.
Ye Fei didn't wait too long. Just when she had watched one-third of a variety show, there was a noise at the door. Immediately afterwards, the security door was opened and Yan Xiao walked in carrying a bag.
It seemed as if he had not travelled nearly three hours at all; his suit was still straight, clean and neat.
"I'm back," Yan Xiao greeted Ye Fei and glanced into the room, "Are you watching TV?"
Ye Fei hummed and looked at Yan Xiao's face, as if trying to find out the secret he was hiding.
Meeting his direct gaze, Yan Xiao's Adam's apple moved, and he looked away briefly, but quickly looked back again.
He told Ye Fei: "I brought you some specialties from Jiangcheng."
"I know, I've seen the video," Ye Fei raised the corners of her lips and asked with interest, "What is it? Can I watch it now?"
Yan Xiao said "OK", then pretended to sit next to Ye Fei naturally and opened the bag.
Before this, Ye Fei had made many guesses. It could be a snack, or it could be something small like a wallet or key chain, but he never expected that the things Yan Xiao bought would be so weird.
Even with Ye Fei's psychological quality, he was still speechless for a moment. He looked at the box of lighters and said in disbelief, "Is this it?" Could he have taken the wrong one?
Jiangcheng is located in the south of the Yangtze River and is rich in silk. God knows why Yan Xiao came back with a bunch of lighters!
"Yes," Yan Xiao said with certainty, "I think it suits you very well."
"But..." Ye Fei was dumbfounded. He didn't want to attack Yan Xiao, but he just couldn't understand his train of thought. "Can't we buy this kind of thing downstairs?"
"Of course not." Yan Xiao showed Ye Fei the small pattern printed on the lighter. "I have confirmed that this is unique to Jiangcheng."
Ye Fei looked up at him and found that he was not joking but serious. I felt helpless and amused at the same time. Well, this is indeed something Yan Xiao could do.
Perhaps because he had been silent for too long, Yan Xiao keenly sensed that something was wrong.
"Don't you like it?" His voice was a little low, but the tone was still smooth and without ups and downs, as if he was no different from the arrogant Mr. Yan in daily life. However, he spoke more unconsciously, with a guilty conscience that he was forcing himself to speak.
"It doesn't matter," Yan Xiao looked into Ye Fei's eyes and said, "What do you like? I'll ask someone to apply for a flight route right away and go to Jiangcheng to buy another one."
And told Ye Fei not to worry.
"Until then, I can hold off on firing the driver for now."
His exaggerated posture made Ye Fei want to laugh. But he spoke so seriously, as if arranging a private jet and applying for an air route for Ye Fei were not a big deal, as long as Ye Fei was happy.
Ye Fei felt a little sour and sweet in her heart. He didn't know why, but he suddenly couldn't look Yan Xiao in the eye.
But Yan Xiao still stared at him without blinking, as if he would never give up until he answered.
So, Ye Fei said, "I like it. It's very practical and beautiful."
He deliberately changed the subject, trying to get himself out of this strange mood, and asked Yan Xiao: "Why do you think this is suitable for me?"
This time, the silent person became Yan Xiao.
The laughter from the variety show echoed in the living room. Ye Fei thought it was a bit noisy and wanted to turn down the volume, but he couldn't find the remote control after searching for a long time. I had no choice but to stand up and search the sofa carefully.
Yan Xiao mistakenly thought that he was going to leave, and subconsciously grabbed Ye Fei's wrist. The moment Ye Fei looked over, he immediately let go.
"Ye Fei." Yan Xiao called his name.
"Um."
Yan Xiao said, "You must bring a lighter with you when you go out next time." It was not a commanding tone, but a calmness that made Ye Fei easily soften her heart.
Ye Fei suppressed her laughter, thinking that Yan Xiao's pride was playing tricks on her, and teased him on purpose: "Is Mr. Yan so overbearing? He even gave me a gift and asked me to carry it with me all the time."
Yan Xiao said "no".
Ye Fei asked him: "What is that?"
There was another silence. Just when Ye Fei couldn't help but speak, Yan Xiao suddenly said, "Light your cigarette yourself."
He looked into Ye Fei's eyes and said seriously, "Please don't borrow fire from others anymore, Ye Fei."
"What's wrong with borrowing a light?" Ye Fei raised an eyebrow and said disapprovingly, "I——"
Ye Fei's voice stopped abruptly.
Because he remembered that in Yan Xiao's eyes, borrowing a light did not mean borrowing a lighter, but borrowing the other person's burning cigarette butt.
