Xi Xiangdong took it over and took a look, his brows deepening.
Pei Xiao asked cautiously: "Is something wrong?"
He said "hmm", let go of Pei Xiao, and started to get out of bed and get dressed.
When the sound of water rang out in the bathroom, Pei Xiao couldn't hold it back. He secretly picked up his mobile phone that was placed beside his pillow, opened it and took a look at the screen. The text message contained one sentence: Come back for lunch at noon. The sender only had a simple message:
Word - Father.
Pei Xiao has never met Xi Xiangdong's father. He only heard from his previous company's agent that Xi Xiangdong's family is not simple. Judging from the names stored on Xi Xiangdong's mobile phone, his father should be a dignified man, and their father and son
The relationship doesn't seem to be very close, otherwise who would scribble the word "father" on their father's name.
Xi Xiangdong came out of the shower, and Pei Xiao had already put on his clothes. When he opened the curtains, he was shocked to find fluffy snowflakes floating under the gray sky outside. It was early winter, and the first snowfall in the imperial capital finally came.
It was late, and the whole city was buried in the vast mist.
Pei smiled and breathed out, excitedly writing on the window grilles. Unexpectedly, someone hugged his waist from behind.
She said "Ah", turned around in surprise, and said to Xi Xiangdong: "It's snow, it's snowing!"
She opened her eyes happily in his arms and kept repeating like a child. Xi Xiangdong couldn't help but pour cold water on her: "Isn't it just snow? What's all the fuss about."
It is very common to see snow in the imperial capital in winter.
Pei Xiao couldn't help being excited: "But I've never seen it before..."
He suddenly came to his senses, it never snowed in Southern California.
Seeing his sudden cold expression, Pei Xiao looked at him blankly, wondering which of his words he had said wrong again.
Xi Xiangdong let go of her, buttoned up his suit, and then said, "I'm leaving now. If you need anything, call me."
"Um."
Pei Xiao sent him to the door. He put on his shoes and put something in Pei Xiao's hand: "This is the key to my apartment."
Yeah? Pei Xiao looked blankly at the key in his hand and didn't react for a long time: "Do you need a nanny to help you clean your room?"
Xi Xiangdong resisted the urge to roll his eyes at her: "I need a girlfriend."
It wasn't until Xi Xiangdong had walked away for a long time that Pei Xiao reacted dully: Did he just say... girlfriend?
Not a woman, but a girlfriend?
Friend, friend, friend, friend, friend... Such sounds kept buzzing in her ears.
So after last night, her death was not in vain, and she was finally promoted from a palace maid to an official concubine? Unfortunately, what has not changed is that Xi Xiangdong is still the emperor who killed a thousand swords!
When she was with Xi Wanlai, she asked privately: "Your father..."
Although Xi Wanlai was curious about why she was suddenly interested in his family, he still told her clearly: "My father is a soldier with some military rank. He is used to caring about his soldiers, so it may be a bit scary. When I was a child, I
Both my eldest brother and I were beaten by his horse whip, but now that we are older, he has less control."
"Oh..." Pei Xiao responded dully, "How big is that military rank...?"
"One wheat ear and one star. He is a major general, right? He seemed to have led troops and fought in wars when he was young, including the counterattack against Vietnam. He kept talking about it and was quite proud of it."
In fact, Pei Xiao had no idea how old the major general was. He only vaguely felt that Xi Xiangdong was one step further away from him. He had heard others say that his family was not simple before, but now the distance between him and himself was only confirmed.
