Ning Yixiao is keen on making plans and is very sure about what to do, so he thought about how to disclose to his friends and work partners after reuniting with Su Hui very early on.

Therefore, when he was hit by Karl, he didn't feel so embarrassed, it just didn't match the plan.

But Karl's next performance was very abnormal. He first made insinuations that the public relations team they are now cooperating with may not be so risk-resistant, and then provided him with some new lists.

"How long do we have with this current company?" Ning Yixiao asked.

"A year and a half." Carl answered truthfully.

"One and a half years?" Ning Yixiao raised his head and raised his eyebrows unconsciously, "Then you tell me to change the team now, do you think our funds are enough to pay liquidated damages?"

Karl had an expression of awe-inspiring righteousness and resignation to death, but he didn't answer.

Ning Yixiao lowered his eyes and continued to work, "Time is precious, do something useful."

The next day, Carl began to probe furtively again, "Shaw, although the house you live in is very private, there is a celebrity living next door, not far from you, I'm afraid some paparazzi will follow you, you Do you think we should arrange someone to watch over it?"

Ning Yixiao felt very surprised.

Could it be that he knew that he and Su Hui were by the French window...

impossible.

"All the glass in this house is one-way privacy, isn't it?"

Carl was almost mad.

But you are not in the house 24 hours a day!

"You can talk directly if you have anything to say." Ning Yixiao didn't have time to go around in circles with him.

Carl thought about it, but he was still a little worried that he would anger his boss if he made it clear. Wouldn't it be worth the loss if he was fired?

Ning Yixiao is too difficult to deal with, so it's better to start with Su Hui.

"Nothing." Carl showed a professional smile, "It's just a rainy day."

He then turned his target to Su Hui.

Su Hui is friendly and speaks softly. Karl always feels that talking to him is much easier.

Since Su Hui doesn't know how to drive, when Ning Yixiao is not at home, he will arrange for Carl to take Su Hui out. Taking the opportunity to accompany Su Hui to a nearby art museum, Carl speaks cryptically on the way.

"Eddy, how long have you two... been together?"

Su Hui, who was sitting in the co-pilot, kept staring at a giant Alaska on the side of the road. In some cases, Carl repeated it again before he turned his head, "Ah, you mean me and Shaw?"

"That's right, you should be in that kind of relationship now..." Carl felt a bit stuck in his throat.

Su Hui was very frank, "Yes, we are a couple now. But you have to ask how long we have been together... If you count the past, it will be quite a long time. If you only count from this time together, it will It's just getting started."

"Before?" Carl wondered, "Have you been together before?"

Su Hui nodded, didn't explain too much, and replied briefly: "Because the family disagrees, we separated."

Can you agree? ?

This further verified Carl's conjecture.

Su Hui noticed Karl's silence, and turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

Carl shook his head, struggled for a long time, but still felt hesitant to vomit, "It's just... don't you think this is a bit... not so good? I mean, you have changed from brothers to lovers, it seems, not too..."

Su Hui's reaction was a little slow, "What? Brother? Who and who are brothers?"

Carl almost missed the red light and slammed on the brakes, sending both of them tumbling forward.

"You and Shaw, aren't you?"

"Us?" Su Hui couldn't believe it, "Brother?"

"I thought..." Carl couldn't believe that his judgment was wrong, "But you really look alike, I thought they looked alike at first glance..."

Su Hui laughed out loud at once, and then couldn't hold it back, almost leaned over from laughing, clutching his stomach and leaning on the passenger seat, the more he endured, the more he wanted to laugh.

It was the first time Karl saw him smiling so happily, and he felt extremely ashamed.

Su Hui was already in a turbulent stage, and it was easy to be happy for a long time because of some small things. Now that Carl made such an oolong, it was the funniest thing that Su Hui had ever encountered recently.

"You guys really can't tell the faces of Asians apart, hahaha."

This incident has since become a weird trigger mechanism. As long as Carl appears, even if Ning Yixiao is there, Su Hui can't help but laugh out loud.

Several times, Ning Yixiao was a little confused.

"What are you laughing at?"

Su Hui agreed to Carl not to say anything, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and endure more and more.

"Don't tell you."

Ning Yixiao glanced at Karl when he saw him say this, thinking that Su Hui praised Karl for being cute before, and felt a little bit disgusted, but he didn't attack him in front of him.

As soon as Su Hui left, he told Carl directly, "You don't have to send Eddy with you in the future, you can get him a driver."

Carl was calm on the surface, but he wanted to celebrate with champagne in his heart.

Great, finally I don't have to be the resident joke of the boss's boyfriend.

There's no way Karl can deal with more than that.

There are many helpers around Ning Yixiao, and Karl is the most comprehensive one, but most of the things he handles are business and his private life, but there are some difficult or unseemly problems that Karl can't handle perfectly.

Ning Yixiao has several stages in managing her social image: from high school to college, she always showed off her smile, kept a sunny image as much as possible, established a good relationship with the people around her, and easily obtained resources. The whole person is very gloomy. Since he started his business, his external performance has become more and more calm. He doesn't seem to mind anything, and he won't frown when the big things fall.

But in fact, he is still quite vengeful.

I have worked with some legal teams before, one of them is Charles, who was introduced by Ning Yixiao's mentor, and has always had a good relationship with him. He happens to be a Canadian who developed in the United States, and has a wide network of contacts. Ning Yixiao also looked for Xu Zhi. He helped.

Using his resources, Ning Yixiao found out about the Chinese restaurant that Su Hui had mentioned.

Su Hui is just passing by and doesn't care much about anything, but he is not, as long as he thinks that Su Hui will not even be able to sleep in a normal bed later, Ning Yixiao wants to give up the hand of that old bastard.

Near ten o'clock in the evening, Charles called.

"I sent you the information, but it's nothing special. This person has a lot of criminal records. He has harassed teenagers in the local town before. Originally, the parents of the other party reported the case to the police, but they reconciled. There have been several similar incidents. The probability is high. It’s a waste of money to eliminate disasters.”

"He is very good at taking advantage of his Asian identity, and most of his harassment targets are also Asian. He uses his natural racial intimacy to start, and he has some connections behind it, so he hasn't been there much."

Ning Yixiao looked at the middle-aged man in the photo, frowned, feeling sick to his stomach, "Is it possible to send him in for a few years in a situation like his?"

Charles sighed on the other end, "It's difficult. After all, the facts of the crime are incomplete. He is at most taking advantage of it. Most of these people have functional problems and psychopaths. If you want to punish him, I suggest not to go this way. , Trouble, time-consuming, so what if he is imprisoned for a few years?"

Ning Yixiao understood what Charles said, "You mean to find someone to deal with it privately."

"That's not what I said." Charles laughed loudly, with a look of hastily disregarding the relationship, "I am a lawyer, Yu Gong, and I will provide you with legal advice, but putting aside this identity, from the perspective of a friend, of course I must There are many ways to tell you this kind of thing.”

They are all smart people, so there is no need to speak too clearly, of course Ning Yixiao understands what he means.

"Of course I know." His voice was a little cold, and he tapped his fingers on the table, thinking of some unpleasant memories of the past, "My mother was beaten when I was young, but because the person who beat her was her husband in the legal sense, this kind of malicious hurt behavior is defined as domestic violence, no matter which agency, it is very troublesome to deal with."

He had suffered through it, and knew what worked and what didn't.

Charles knew something about Ning Yixiao's past, he sighed, but didn't say anything.

Ning Yixiao didn't intend to let him go so easily. Even if he didn't commit a real crime, the psychological harm to Su Hui would be indelible.

The smile on the corner of his mouth was cold, and his tone was calm. If you didn't listen carefully to the content, you might think he was reading some literature.

"Charles, find a few people with criminal records on their backs. I will pay and entrust them to invite the owner of this restaurant out and teach him a lesson, especially his hands that like to fumble around. Remember to record a video and send them the whole process. Give me."

Ning Yixiao leaned on the office chair, raised his head and thought for a while, "By the way, tie him up after the end and throw him under the bed in the attic of his dining room. Don't worry about him. Doesn't he like to hide under the bed? He hid enough..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, Ning Yixiao turned the swivel chair and saw Su Hui standing at the door.His hair was wet, hanging on his shoulders, and he was only wearing a soft white pajamas, with short trouser legs, exposing his snow-white ankles.

"Do you have a pencil?" Su Hui didn't come in, but leaned against the door frame.

"What do you want a pencil for?" Ning Yixiao stretched out his hand towards him, and switched to Chinese.

Charles on the other end of the phone suddenly realized that Ning Yixiao's tone was still cold in the last second, with an uncontrollable hostility, but he could become so gentle in a second.

He doesn't believe it's a matter of language.

"I thought of a little inspiration, and I want to draw it now, for fear that I will forget it in a while."

Only then did Su Hui come over and straddle his lap.

He exudes a very faint fragrance, which is easily reminiscent of a lush garden.

Charles on the other end of the headset heard this "strange" voice and deliberately joked.

[who is this? Shaw, is there anyone else in your family? ]

Ning Yixiao was surprised by Su Hui's sudden initiative, and when he heard Charles' question, he smiled.

When Su Hui sat down, he found him smiling, and hesitated, "Am I too heavy? I'll get up."

"Not heavy." Ning Yixiao wrapped his arms around his waist, "very light."

[I knew I should have taken a Chinese course in the first place! ]

Su Hui reluctantly trusted him, and as soon as she sat in his arms, she forgot to find the pencil, put her hand on Ning Yixiao's shoulder, and asked in a nasal voice, "I'm going back in a few days, will you Miss me?"

"Of course." Ning Yixiao raised her face to kiss his lips, but Su Hui backed away maliciously, avoiding the kiss.

"Why hide?" Ning Yixiao stretched out his hand, grabbed the back of Su Hui's head, and kissed his lips forcibly.

Originally, he just wanted to have a taste of it, just a kiss, after all, he was still on the phone, although it was not a serious job.

"Well……"

But Su Hui didn't know anything about it, so he pushed the boat along and deepened the kiss. The nail of his tongue touched Ning Yixiao's teeth, and he pried it open without any difficulty, hooking the tip of his tongue.

It was the first time that Ning Yixiao discovered that Su Hui would pant so obviously when kissing.

[WOW——]

The moment he heard the booing sound coming from the phone, he stretched out his finger and tapped the headset, ending the call.

Su Hui didn't know about it, but felt that Ning Yixiao wasn't paying enough attention, so he deliberately withdrew, kissed the mole at the corner of his eye, and then moved down without warning.

The wet and cold nail rubbed against his Adam's apple.

It is completely retaliatory illegal action.

Ning Yixiao's arms suddenly tightened, but before it was too late, Su Hui slipped from his arms and stood in front of the desk with an innocent face.

"Just borrow this pen, thank you."

Su Hui quickly fled the scene and closed the study door for him.

Ning Yixiao's throat was a little dry, he reached out to pick up the cup, drank a big sip of water, barely suppressed his dryness, and saw the message from Charles in a blink of an eye.

[Charles: I already knew about video chatting! ]

They have a good relationship, and because Charles is a legal adviser, he knows the whole process of Ning Yixiao's fake engagement, and he also knows that his private life is equal to nothing.

He wasn't so shocked that Ning Yixiao was living with a man, what shocked him was that this guy would also have that need...

It's not a robot.

[Charles: Let me tell you, why do you suddenly hold a grudge against an old rascal who can't be beaten, and you are still so ruthless, maybe it has something to do with him? ]

Charles sent it just to tease him, but he never thought that Ning Yixiao would respond, after all, he often does this, and a serious workaholic like Ning Yixiao would just ignore all the interpretations and jokes about his private life, and turn the topic back to business.

So when he received Ning Yixiao's reply, he was really surprised.

[Shaw: Yes. ]

[Shaw: My boyfriend, there may be things that will bother you in the future, let me say thank you for him first. ]

Charles was thoroughly curious.

What kind of person is he who can subdue a guy like Ning Yixiao who only wants to climb up.

[Charles: Tsk tsk, it's really amazing (I mean your boyfriend)]

[Shaw: I agree with that. ]

Ning Yixiao came out of the room and saw Su Hui was beating eggs in the kitchen on the first floor from the stairs, so she went down to see what he was going to do.

Su Hui turned around and saw Ning Yixiao who suddenly appeared, "Scared me."

"Hungry?" Ning Yixiao asked.

"A little bit." Su Hui tried to add water to the egg liquid, "How much should I add? I tried it myself before, and no matter how long I steamed it, it didn't take shape."

Ning Yixiao walked over and took the bowl in his hand, "I'll do it."

"Almost 1.5 times."

Su Hui felt that his estimate was not accurate, and he wanted to give up, "You should do this kind of work, the failure rate is relatively low."

"A very wise decision." Ning Yixiao opened the steamer and put the egg liquid in.

Su Hui walked over and stared at the eggs in the steamer, "The shrimps haven't been put in yet."

"For a while." Ning Yixiao circled him in front of the island and leaned down, "I haven't finished what I just did."

Su Hui started to play dumb, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"What do you think?" Ning Yixiao lowered her head, rubbing her lips against the side of his neck.

Su Hui flinched for a moment, and dodged backwards. The next second, Ning Yixiao directly hugged him onto the table, leaving him nowhere to escape.

"Mr. Su, don't pretend you don't understand at this time."

As Ning Yixiao said, she pressed his back and kissed him. She couldn't tell who took the initiative first, but the kiss was deeper than expected.A weak current flowed from the back of the head to the tailbone, and the soft body melted into hot sugar water.

In a daze, Su Hui realized that Ning Yixiao was panting more than before during this kiss, so she pushed and asked him.

"Did you forget how to breathe..."

Ning Yixiao chuckled lightly, floating like a summer cloud.

"Learn from you."

Su Hui felt that he was too complacent, and he was too pushy and hesitant. Every time he fell into a disadvantage like this, just as he was looking for an opportunity, the steamer made a ding.

Whatever you want.

"Okay." Su Hui patted Ning Yixiao's shoulder several times, "Go and put some shrimps on me."

Ning Yixiao sighed, but did as usual.

Su Hui came down from the island, found a cigarette from somewhere, lit one, and bit the popping beads on the filter tip, the mint smell poured in like sea water.

Living at Ning Yixiao's house during this period was completely in love, and at the thought of going to another place, Su Hui felt somewhat reluctant, although she was very reluctant to show it, as she seemed too clingy.

He was well-behaved and beautiful, and he only ate egg custard for supper, wearing childish pajamas, staring blankly with his elbows propped on his elbows, but holding a slender lady's cigarette between his fingertips, a natural contradiction.

The lingering smoke half-hid Su Hui's smile, and he fell down, resting his head on his arm, using a small dish as an ashtray, and nodded with his finger.

"Eat." Ning Yixiao sat across from him, and also took the cigarette from his hand.

Su Hui hummed and took a bite, almost scalding herself.

"Shall we play truth or dare?"

He jumped out of his mind, had a whim, and decided not to waste every good night.

Ning Yixiao took a puff of his cigarette and smiled, "How do you two play?"

Su Hui also laughed, "Two people have two ways to play."

He thought for a while, "How about this, rock-paper-scissors, whoever loses will answer the other party's questions unconditionally and speak the truth."

Ning Yixiao stared at him lazily, blowing out smoke rings, "What about the big adventure? Can you make any request?"

"You can choose a big adventure." Su Hui spoke in a nasal voice, and her voice still had a little hoarseness from the sequelae of the past few days.

He rested his chin on his hand, smiled and looked at Ning Yixiao, "But you can only watch, you can't touch."
