Lin Fei closed the computer and walked towards the bed, "I'm... I'm reading some materials, and I'm going to sleep now."

But Shangguanxuan said: "Aren't you waiting for my call? Otherwise, why would you fall asleep as soon as I call you?"

Lin Fei raised her eyebrows slightly, but she was not dull now.

She put the phone next to the pillow, turned on the speakerphone, then lay down on her side, and let out a soft "um".

Shangguanxuan was secretly delighted, and was also lying on the big bed in the bedroom.

She said, "Fei Fei, I just drank some wine and I'm a little sleepy."

Lin Fei's eyelids were heavy, and she slowly closed her eyes, "Then go to sleep and get up early tomorrow."

"Then don't hang up the phone."

Lin Fei closed her eyes, spoke lazily, and said, "Well, I won't hang up."

Shangguan Xuan also turned on the speakerphone and put the phone beside her, but after a while, she fell asleep.

Lin Fei has been in a state of half-dream and half-awake. I don't know how long it has passed, and there is a slight sound of closing the door next to her ear.Lin Fei raised her eyelids and subconsciously looked towards the door.

Nothing seemed to change in the room, everything was as usual, and the air was eerily silent.

She turned on the screen of the phone, and the phone was still on the call, and it showed that the call had been on for three hours, five minutes and 31 seconds, and the time was still running, and it was now close to three o'clock in the morning.

Lin Fei turned the volume of the call to the maximum, and leaned over to listen carefully, only the sound of breathing was so light and so light that it was almost imperceptible to the ears.

She deliberately listened for a while, and after listening for a long time, she didn't hear the strange sound again. The sound just now was just like her illusion.

Thinking about it can only be an illusion.

The next day, the alarm clock rang on time. Lin Fei fumbled for the bedside table to turn it off, but failed to find the phone after a few touches. It took a while to remember that the phone was next to the pillow.

When she turned off the alarm clock, she found that the call with Shangguan Xuan had ended, she turned in and checked, and the time the phone hung up was around six o'clock in the morning.

Lin Fei raised the corners of her mouth subconsciously, thinking that it was rare for Shangguan Xuan to wake up so early by herself.

**

In the next few days, Shangguan Xuan rarely contacted her actively, and Lin Fei also knew that she was busy with Xiangyang Village's plan, so she didn't disturb her.It's just that when she misses her so much, she will occasionally send a WeChat message, and Shangguanxuan's reply is only flat: [I'm busy now! 】

A word without warmth.

The exhibition was postponed for one day, and Lin Fei told Shangguanxuan as soon as she heard the news: 【Itinerary has changed, I may go back one day later. 】

Shangguan Xuan: [Yes. 】

After she finished sending this word, there was no reply.

Lin Fei looked at the phone for a while, suppressed the slight sense of loss in her heart, and murmured, "Are you so busy..."

She put down her phone and turned her gaze back to the computer. The computer screen contained detailed information about the ancient city.

This situation continued until the night before Lin Fei finished his business trip and was about to return to S City.That night, Lin Fei planned to inform Shang Guanxuan of her flight tomorrow, but the phone rang for a long time, but it was still the same as the past two days, and no one answered for a long time.

Lin Fei put her mobile phone within sight, and waited for Shangguan Xuan's reply while packing her luggage. Shangguan Xuan still didn't reply until everything was packed.

She had to go into the bathroom to wash up.

After coming out, Lin Fei wiped off the water stains on her hands, and immediately untied her phone to check. Finally, there was a reply from Shangguanxuan in the phone.

[Okay, be careful on the road. 】

Be careful on the road?Is that all?

Lin Fei frowned slightly, and quickly typed a line: Aren't you coming to pick me up?

After thinking about it, I deleted it again and made a phone call.

After a few seconds.

The phone was hung up.

Lin Fei stared at the phone in astonishment, and a message popped up.

Shangguan Xuan: [I'm busy. 】

Lin Fei stared at this message for a long time, with mixed feelings in her heart.

She seemed to be much colder towards her.

Lin Fei lay back on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and began to recall Shangguan Xuan's unusual attitude towards her in the past few days.After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Could she...be changed back to the original Shangguan Xuan?Turn back into the woman who sees herself as a thorn in the side, wishing to get rid of her and hurry up!

Her original transformation was so unexpected and without warning, it is not impossible for her to return to her original nature now.

Lin Fei's heart started beating violently, and it was running heavily and painfully in the chest cavity, almost hitting the painful spot every time.She tremblingly picked up the phone and called Shangguanxuan again.

The phone was cut off again.

Lin Fei gritted her teeth and called again.

The result is still the same.

When she was typing the third time, it was reported that the phone was turned off.

Lin Fei was stunned, the phone stuck to her ear blankly, her heart sinking uncontrollably.

There was a strong wind outside the window, and it rained heavily in an instant. The rain "pattered" on the window, disturbing people.

Lin Fei sat on the head of the bed in a daze, a faint light came from the phone screen.

A few minutes later, the phone vibrated suddenly, Lin Fei suddenly recovered, and hurriedly clicked to answer.

"Shangguan...I..."

"Miss Lin!"

It was Ah Cheng who called.

"Ah Cheng..." Lin Fei's mood dropped suddenly, and at the same time, she couldn't help worrying about Shangguan Xuan.

Why did Ah Cheng call her so late?Could it be that something happened to Shangguan Xuan?Is that why she didn't answer her phone?

The more Lin Fei thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and hurriedly said: "Ah Cheng, is it Shangguan she..."

Ah Cheng interrupted her calmly, "Miss Lin, Miss told you not to call again, she is busy now, let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to do!"

"What?" she asked incredulously.

Ah Cheng said patiently, "Miss asked you to rest earlier, we will talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."

There was a cold beep from the phone.

A flash of lightning flashed in from the window, followed by thunder, which was deafening.

Lin Fei suddenly threw off the quilt and got out of bed, squatted at the corner of the bed with her hands around her knees, and buried her face in her knees.

The entire sky seemed to be cracked, and a few seconds later, there was another roar.

Lin Fei clenched her sleeves tightly and trembled.Accompanied by the thunder, a deep sense of fear spread all over the body and spread to all limbs.

She raised her head slightly, her pupils stared at a certain place without focus, her red lips parted, and she murmured tremblingly: "Shangguan, you can't..."

**

next day

Lin Fei sat in the waiting room in a daze, her eyes never leaving her mobile phone.She sent Shangguan Xuan the time of departure of the plane last night, but she has not received a reply until now.

Liu Manman beside him suddenly said in surprise, "Mr. Gu, why are you dressed like this today?"

Gu Congrong glanced at Lin Fei subconsciously, Lin Fei was still silent in her own world and didn't notice this side.

"The temperature in S City has been low recently." She said.

"Is that so..."

Liu Manman stared at the two high collars beside him, wondering if he was wearing less.

The plane arrived in S City two and a half hours later.

Liu Manman and the other two designers left first. Lin Fei stood across the road and saw the familiar white Audi. She was overjoyed at first, but within two seconds, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

The person who came out of the driver's seat was Ah Cheng, and there was no one else in the car.

Gu Congrong who came later also saw the car and said, "Is your friend here to pick you up? Then I'll leave first?"

Lin Fei nodded and said, "Mr. Gu, be careful on the road."

"Well, you too." Gu Congrong glanced at her, then turned and walked towards the parking lot.

A Cheng came up to meet him from a distance, Lin Fei watched him for a while, and got into the car.

The car was driving on the highway, and the car was very quiet. Ah Cheng was always silent and didn't talk much.

Lin Fei put the mobile phone back into the bag, and also sat aside silently.

They soon arrived at Shangguan's villa, Ah Cheng drove the car into the garage, and trotted up to open the door for her.

Lin Fei stared at him suspiciously, Ah Cheng's behavior today seemed a bit unusual.

"Ah Cheng, did something happen?" She stood at the door and called out to him from behind.

Ah Cheng didn't look back, but still walked straight in, walking slowly.

Lin Fei was full of doubts, and walked in with a feeling of apprehension.

Sitting on the huge sofa was a tall and stalwart figure.Shangguan Sheng was sitting with his back to the door, leaning on a cane in his left hand, and bodyguard Ah Jin was standing beside him. Sister Chen lowered her head slightly, folded her hands in front of her, and stood beside the sofa.

Lin Fei walked in slowly. She looked around, but couldn't find any sign of Shangguan Xuan. The atmosphere here somehow made her feel depressed.

Subconsciously, she turned her head to look at A Cheng, who had stopped talking since entering the door, and stood upright by the side.

Lin Fei moved with difficulty and walked up to Shangguan Sheng.She was rarely alone with Shangguan Sheng, especially when Shangguan Xuan was not present.

The old man in front of her could always give her an invisible sense of oppression, and she was always so uncomfortable in front of him.

"grandfather……"

Without raising his head, Shangguan Sheng reached out to pick up a cup of tea in front of him, and took a sip.

He didn't speak, and Lin Fei also lowered his eyes and remained silent.

It wasn't until he poured and drank the cup of tea that he finished it, and then he said in a carefree tone, "Are you back from a business trip?"

Lin Fei was slightly stunned, and raised her eyes, "...um."

Shangguan Sheng glanced at the sofa opposite and said, "Sit."

Lin Fei originally wanted to find Shangguan Xuan, but at this time she couldn't refuse, so she thanked her and sat on the sofa calmly.

Sister Chen served her a cup of tea and added some to Shangguan Sheng's cup.

"I heard that you majored in fashion design? When you were in the top grades in school, you can get a scholarship every year?"

Lin Fei was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Shangguan Sheng said again: "I know a fashion designer. I asked him to see your award-winning work. He said that it is very good. If you can develop well, you will definitely make a difference in the future."

Lin Fei looked at Shang Guansheng puzzled, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned this, but she vaguely felt that this was not a good omen.

Shangguan Sheng met her eyes with a kind smile, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes became more obvious.Sister Chen at the side took out a document from somewhere and put it in front of Lin Fei.

Lin Fei glanced at a line of words on the information, it was the famous clothing brand "Vsecaoc" in New York!

Shangguan Sheng smiled and said: "The designer I just mentioned is Clark, the chief designer of Vsecaoc's headquarters in New York. I have recommended you to him. As long as you want, you can go to Vsecaoc's headquarters at any time. Believe where you are, You'll stand out in the fashion industry in no time and become a premier costume designer!"

Lin Fei was taken aback for a moment, her eyes locked on the recommendation letter in front of her for a long time, she didn't know what it was like to go to the United States...

The old man made it clear that he wanted to dismiss her. Obviously, he already knew about his relationship with Shangguanxuan.

Vsecaoc headquarters, what a tempting offer. For ordinary people, it is indeed hard to refuse. She has worked hard for so long, doesn't she also want to reach such a height?

Lin Fei managed to calm down her emotions. She knew that this day would come sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

She twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Grandpa, I am not related to Shangguan's family, so there is no need for you to do this for me."

Shangguan Sheng leaned back, his eyes were dark and deep, elusive, "Since you are Shangguan's friend, you can't be regarded as non-kinship, and when she gets married and has children in the future, you can come back to see her." she!"

Lin Fei stood up suddenly, with an inexplicable emotion accumulated in her heart, but a stern look appeared in her eyes, "Grandpa, what do you mean by that?"

Get married, kids.

Lin Fei clenched her hands into fists, pinching her joints stiffly, her nails digging deep into her flesh.She couldn't imagine that she could watch Shangguan Xuan marry someone else and have children, and she couldn't do it either.

Shangguan Sheng was stunned for a moment. He had never seen anyone dare to look at him without avoiding it. He couldn't help but start to admire Lin Fei's courage, and this look was very similar to Shangguan Hong back then...

Shangguan Sheng was absent-minded for a moment, came back to his senses, looked Lin Fei up and down, his eyes were unclear, "Why, you don't want to go abroad?"

Lin Fei pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.

Shangguan Sheng said: "This is an excellent opportunity for you. Compared with some unrealistic things, this is easier to realize."

Lin Fei clenched her fingers, with an undetectable tremor in her tone, "What is... unrealistic?"

"You are a smart man. Speaking of which, I think you should understand."

Lin Fei stiffly raised her head and looked in the direction of the stairs on the second floor. Shangguan Sheng stroked the tea leaves with the lid of the cup, took a sip, and said, "Don't look, Shangguan is not here."

"Where is she?"

"That's not your concern."

"Grandpa!" Lin Fei's eyes were firm, and he said solemnly: "I will not leave her."

Shangguan Sheng was a little surprised, "Why? Isn't the condition I offered enough to attract you? Could it be that you want more? Young man, accept it as soon as you see it, lest the gain outweigh the loss in the end."

Lin Fei shook her head, and said slowly: "I don't want anything, I just want her. From the standpoint of a junior, I hope you can help us."

"Ridiculous!" Shangguan Sheng got up on crutches, as if he had heard a very funny joke, and looked at Lin Fei incredulously, "Many people have said this to me before, but the target is a girl, or a hairy girl. Once. It's your business that you like women, don't harm my granddaughter!"

"I didn't harm her, I like her!"

"Shut up!" Shangguan Sheng stretched out his hand, pointed at Lin Fei tremblingly, and said to Ah Cheng, "Get her out of here!"

Ah Cheng hesitated for a second, then stepped forward.

Lin Fei looked back at him, and Ah Cheng's footsteps subconsciously paused.

Seeing this, Shangguan Sheng was somewhat surprised.

Lin Fei turned to look at Shangguan Sheng, her tone was rather cold, "Grandpa, is Shangguan in the company?"

Shangguan Sheng didn't answer, looked at Ah Cheng and said, "Ah Cheng, what are you waiting for?"

Ah Cheng couldn't help it, so he stepped forward and made a "please" gesture to Lin Fei, "Miss Lin..."
