Chapter 159: Traces of Her Love for Him (4)
The voice on the other end of the receiver was low and hoarse. After a word came out, Lu Qi's breathing slowed down a bit.
She didn't know how to continue. This man was too unfamiliar to her now. They had only met once.
But from the first time I met him, his eyes were full of affection.
Even through the telescope, you can see his gaze at the villa.
Did he really exist in the time she couldn't remember?
After she hadn't spoken for a long time, the person on the other end of the phone seemed to understand her quite well: "Why are you silent? You never reply when this kind of topic is brought up."
Lu Qi held the microphone tightly, considered carefully, and said to him frankly: "Mr. Cui, it's not that I won't reply, it's just that I don't know how to tell you now, I..." In fact, I have lost my memory and don't remember you.
It's hard to speak.
Before Lu Qi could finish her tangle, Pei Yao reminded her, "Why call me Mr. Cui? You lost your memory and can't even remember my name? I'm your husband, Pei Yao."
Lu Qi's hand shook, and the receiver fell to the ground with a bang.
After being shocked for a long time, he picked it up again: "You...you know that I have lost my memory?"
Look, here comes little Fatima again.
Pei Yao laughed and admired himself for always being able to say something different to coax her.
This time he said directly: "The bright sun is with me."
Lu Qi was completely stunned. If this man was not familiar with her, she would not let him know about Yan Yang's existence.
Struggling, Lu Qi made an application: "Then...can you return it to me?"
The man didn't say he would return it, nor did he say he wouldn't. Instead, he calmly asked her, "Do you want me to come up?"
Lu Qi blinked and glanced at the night outside the window. The clock in the corner was about to strike twelve. He murmured in confusion, "Now?"
"What else?" Pei Yao held up his cell phone, his eyebrows slightly raised. Although she was not in front of him, he seemed to be looking at her and talking.
There is also mistletoe hanging behind it.
Lu Qi pursed her lips and refused: "No."
The man refused to give in: "No."
Love is not returned! Although they had only met briefly, based on her observations over the past few days, this man was definitely not an honest little lamb, but the leader of the pack.
Asking him to come up would be like inviting a wolf into the house. She wouldn't do it!
"Dong, dong, dong..." At this moment, the New Year's bell rang.
Seeing that there were no girls around him, Lu Qi felt that he had made enough calls and said embarrassedly, "The negotiation failed. I'm going to hang up."
I glanced out the window again, and could faintly hear the sound of fireworks from San Francisco, which could be heard from quite far away.
Too bad I can't see it at all.
The news is deceptive after all.
Just as she was thinking about it, Pei Yao's voice came, trying to stop her from hanging up: "Wait."
Lu Qi still had the receiver to his ear, showing no intention of hanging up. He raised the corner of his mouth and said seriously, "Anything else?"
"Is the telescope at hand?" Pei Yao's words once again made Lu Qi pause.
How could this person know her so well?
Lu Qi felt guilty and pushed the telescope beside him: "No... not here."
"Go get it." Pei Yao was too lazy to expose her nonsense.
Holding the phone, he turned around and waved to Phil who was peeking at the door, pointing to several boxes of flammable and explosive items placed in the yard.
Phil understood, asked two people to carry the boxes, and walked with Pei Yao for about twenty minutes to the lake behind the villa.
The only good thing about this middle-class villa is probably the lake in the backyard.
Lu Qi's villa on the mountain was very big, but she couldn't see the lake. When she watched Pei Yao and a few others disappear behind the villa through a telescope, she was a little puzzled.
I was looking for him through the telescope, changing the angles, when I heard the person on the phone say, "Look in the sky."
"Huh?" As soon as Lu Qi asked in doubt, he heard the sound of fireworks exploding.
The faint colors in the telescope suddenly exploded into a dazzling array of colors.
The night sky is extremely gorgeous at this moment, and fireworks of various shapes are close at hand, adding a bright and lively atmosphere to the lonely mountains.
For a moment, everyone who was gathering in the villa walked into the yard, only to hear people say that Mr. Cui was setting off fireworks over there on the lake.
Feller took a sip of his wine and told a story about China: "This guy is really capable of lighting beacons to trick the princes."
The fireworks lasted for a full hour in the night sky.
When the last firework fell, Pei Yao said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Qiqi, Happy New Year."
I have never had a good New Year with her, and this year is the eleventh year.
Lu Qi lay in the attic, hugging the Capibara he had stolen from somewhere, and smiled slowly: "Mr. Pei, Happy New Year."
-
This is how New Year's Day was celebrated in San Francisco.
As always, carefully prepared meals were delivered on time every day. Lu Qi commented on this: "It's like being in a high-end prison."
Lucy was clearing away the dishes with a gloomy expression on her face.
Lu Qi bit the straw while drinking Coke and asked with concern: "What's bothering you?"
Here, the only person Lu Qi can communicate with is Lucy, which makes him feel lonely and bored.
I don’t dare to contact too many unnecessary people because of security group restrictions. I can’t even chat too much with Vivian.
We have reached an agreement with the security team. As long as she behaves herself and stops doing any more tricks, she will be released after two years of imprisonment. Otherwise, all her industries in the United States will be dug out and shut down.
The United States is her economic lifeline and base, where she has built her foundation over several decades.
Several people like Vivian were helping her manage the business in front of the stage.
However, he had been monitored by the security team a long time ago, and Lu Qi had no choice but to hand over his industry list, which in exchange for many years of freedom.
But after all, it is under their supervision. The bartender at Tianyu Club is Director Ster’s Chinese grandson, and he has to report to them every five years.
Lucy took off her apron. Not knowing Lu Qi's situation, she had her own worries: "My daughter-in-law is about to give birth. I want to go back for a few days."
"Then go back. It's me who's under house arrest, not you." Lu Qi blinked, not knowing what she was worried about.
Lucy looked at her ancestors and was bored, so she used paint to color the new ceramics.
He sighed, "I'm worried about you being alone. I've also applied to Ms. Green and wanted her to send someone else over, but I heard it's very troublesome to go through the security team's review."
Lu Qi nodded and took a deep sip of his Coke. "Yeah, I know. It'll probably take more than ten days for them to review the newcomers. Ster's efficiency has always been very low."
"Instead of asking someone else to come, why not wait for you to come back?" Lu Qi paused and added, "Or are you planning to never come back?"
It’s normal not to come back, Lu Qi understands.
How many people can endure loneliness and live in the mountains all the time? When she and Lucy are like Xiaolongnu and Grandma Sun?
After she finished speaking, Lucy showed an evasive look, and Lu Qi realized: "You really won't come back?"
