Chapter 131 Love the House and the Dog
The sky is vast with sparse clouds and the bright moon hangs high in the sky.
The sound of the linden trees swaying in the wind was infinitely amplified in the quiet night, and a secret farce was buried in the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Mountain villa.
In the pitch-black living room, only the star-shaped moonlight shines in from the window. The bluish color makes the already cold-toned room even more restrained.
In front of the main table in the living room, a sturdy figure was lazily sitting on the sofa chair.
The pure black shirt was open, revealing a large area of strong muscles from the chest to the abdomen. The honey-colored skin shone with a faint luster under the moonlight.
The thin cigarette between his fingers had burned out for the most part, and before he could smoke it, large chunks of grayish-white ash fell to the ground.
The man just sat there quietly, the air pressure around him gradually decreasing with the rise and fall of his breathing, and an arrogant majesty emerged uncontrollably from the depths of his figure.
He seemed to be waiting for someone.
Suddenly, a figure like a night cat landed lightly on the ground under the cover of moonlight.
Then, the balcony door was torn open.
Qu Le walked into the house, as if deliberately ignoring the man with a cold aura in the room. He didn't even glance at him and went straight to his room.
"Where have you been?"
Buried in the darkness, a low, hoarse male voice like a cello sounded.
Qu Le paused and replied directly, "Looking for Bai Yao."
Qu Le knew that the fact that Cheng Yi was waiting here to ask her proved that he had known about this matter for a long time, but he was just in the mood to give her some face and go through the motions.
"Why did you go to see him?"
Qu Le lowered his head and replied coldly: "It's just that there are some things I want to clarify."
"You're really brave," Cheng Yi said in a deep voice, tapping the cigarette between his fingers twice, "You dared to go to Bai Yao alone so many times."
Qu Le felt helpless when he heard Cheng Yi's teasing tone.
She didn't expect that Cheng Yi even knew that she had stolen the report.
"Did Brother Tang tell you that?"
"Heh," Cheng Yi chuckled, took a puff of the remaining cigarette, and exhaled a puff of smoke, "Don't you look down on your brother too much? Do you need him to gossip with me about such a small matter before I know it?"
Then, Cheng Yi's tone suddenly changed: "I advise you not to underestimate him."
Cheng Yi knew that Bai Yao's paranoia and madness were no less than his.
And when it comes to manipulating people's hearts, Bai Yao is no worse than him.
This man has an allure that can make people fall in love with him.
The fact that Bai Yao could spend so much time fighting with Qu Le is enough to prove the seriousness of the matter.
"I have no business interfering in your struggle, nor do I want to. As long as you survive, it doesn't matter to me if you fight him until you're eighty."
Qu Le lowered his head and clenched his fingertips, which felt a little cold.
"I do this only for myself. Whether you appreciate it or not, I will pay back what I owe you."
"It's just a life at most. If he wants it, he can take it."
After Qu Le finished speaking, he walked straight to his room without waiting for Cheng Yi to respond.
"I'm tired. I'm going to sleep first."
With a bang, the door was almost slammed shut.
The sound echoed in the quiet hall, circling several times before escaping from the window.
Cheng Yi stood in the darkness, looking at the tightly closed door. He stretched out his hand and extinguished the only light in the pitch-black night, muttering to himself:
"I think he wants more than just your life."
The clock ticks step by step, and the ticking sound is like the night's elegy.
Cheng Yi stood in the room, looking at the desolate night outside the window, smoking and daydreaming.
I only heard a rustling sound behind me.
He turned around and saw Lu Qian sleeping soundly, wearing his shirt and walking out of the bedroom barefoot.
Cheng Yi immediately crushed the cigarette in his hand, fanned the smell of smoke off himself, and walked forward.
"Why are you awake?"
He picked up Lu Qian, lifted her bare feet off the ground, and sat on the sofa.
"You don't even wear shoes, and you're not afraid of catching a cold."
Lu Qian rubbed her eyes dizzily, leaned her weak little head on Cheng Yi's chest, and spoke hesitantly.
"I was thirsty... I woke up and found you were not in the room..."
Lu Qian knew that Cheng Yi had trouble sleeping, so she was a little worried.
And as soon as she came out, she smelled cigarettes all over the room. Cheng Yi was not a heavy smoker, and Lu Qian had never seen him smoke so uncontrollably.
Lu Qian hugged Cheng Yi's waist like a spoiled child, "Smoke less...it's not good for your health."
Cheng Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the soft little woman lying in his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness.
He gently stroked Lu Qian's head and said, "Okay, smoke less next time."
When Lu Qian heard Cheng Yi's affirmative answer, she smiled sweetly, rubbed her head against his arms, found a comfortable position, and planned to fall asleep.
A ripple appeared in Cheng Yi's dark eyes. He patted the back of the woman in his arms and spoke softly.
"What would you do if Lele liked someone?"
"Treat him... as well as you treat Lele..."
Lu Qian was in a daze. She was already very tired from playing today and she also had her period. She was very exhausted and was almost responding subconsciously.
When Cheng Yi heard this answer, he paused his pat on Lu Qian's back and his tone deepened.
"What if you don't like this person?"
Now Lu Qian had no brain to think about what Cheng Yi meant, or whether he liked it or not.
She has almost never hated anyone in her life, let alone someone Qu Le likes.
"...I like Lele, so I believe in her choice. Lele had a very hard life in the past. As long as that person treats her well... and she... is happy, then I will..."
Contented.
Lu Qian's voice became lower and lower as she answered. Leaning on the warm chest, she felt like she was about to fall asleep.
Cheng Yi was slightly startled, his cold and proud eyebrows trembling slightly.
After a long time, Cheng Yi put his hand, which had paused, on Lu Qian's back again and coaxed her gently.
"Be good, go to sleep."
Under the moonlight, as the breathing of the person in his arms gradually became even, the expression on that handsome face returned to the cold arrogance tinged with strong murderous intent.
Cheng Yi could accept Bai Yao risking his life with him, but he could not accept Bai Yao using his methods on Qu Le.
If he dared to act rashly, Cheng Yi would definitely kill him.
Cheng Yi opened his thin lips slightly, his tone filled with extreme bloodthirsty cruelty.
"I want to see what you want to do."
