Bright Throne

"Do you still have my father in your eyes?"

The taste of nicotine swirled around in his mouth, Pei Hanrui held the cigarette between his fingers, stared at the curling smoke, and said indifferently: "Father, why did you say that?"

The voice from the other end of the phone was quite deep, like a huge wave crashing on the reef: "It's harder than going to heaven for you to come back, how many times has the daughter of the Macauley family waited for you, as my Pei family Son, where are the etiquette and demeanor that you have been taught since childhood?"

"If it's for this matter, as I said last time, the NL branch has just started, and I can't get away. After a while, I will naturally come to visit." Pei Hanrui lit the burnt soot, lightly replied.

"Don't use this kind of excuse to prevaricate me." Pei Mingze interrupted him displeasedly, "If you are really busy with business, you still have time to fool around with that kind of male model? Do you know that Mrs. McCauley specially called me just now?" Call me to ask me about your recent situation, heh, good things don’t go out, but bad things spread far and wide. As a father, I feel ashamed for you.”

"Oh... so it's because of that incident, my father must have made too much of a fuss." Pei Hanrui responded lazily, but turned on the computer quickly in his hand and began to check the media sources of gossip reports.

He looked at a series of familiar names of newspapers and magazines, and a sneer could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth: "Such a trivial matter, should father personally intervene..."

"Hmph, it's best to be a trivial matter. If you're just playing around, that's fine. You've been caught out, and you're going back. Don't get meddled in this matter. Go back to Paris in two days. That male model I've already told you Uncle Jiao to deal with it, and you're not too young, so you should take it easy."

"...What do you mean?" Pei Hanrui's eyes sank, and his voice became cold, "I can handle my affairs by myself, and I don't need to trouble my father."

"Do it yourself? How do you do it yourself? Do you want to keep mixing with that kind of people?" Pei Mingze snorted coldly, "You think I didn't find anyone to investigate that male model named Qin Yi, he hooked up with the son of the manager of the brokerage company before. , I signed a contract with a modeling agency by sleeping with a man, and then I couldn't make it, so I hit your idea on you, jumped to Tianlu, and was praised all the way..."

Pei Hanrui frowned and interrupted him: "Father, I know what kind of person Qin Yi is much better than you, so don't use those specious investigation results to talk about things, it seems that the people under your command are not very capable Why don't you consider switching to another batch?"

As if he didn't expect that Pei Hanrui would contradict him so much for a small model, Pei Mingze was taken aback for a moment, then his face became ugly, and he said in a bad tone: "Are you still serious with him? Are you kidding me! How did you play before?" I don't even bother to care about you, but this time it's too much, and I won't let you continue to mess around."

"Fly me back to Paris immediately, this is an ultimatum to you, if I haven't seen you at the reception held by Mrs. There is a way to make that male model surnamed Qin never appear in any fashion media in China again!"

Pei Hanrui's fingers holding the cigarette tightened suddenly, and he didn't care when the cigarette butt burned his skin. His face was as deep as water, and a trace of hostility flashed in his black eyes. He tried his best to restrain his tone and keep his voice stable, and said in a low voice: "Why should father follow a A small model can't get through it, and you are also a famous figure in the industry, so you don't think it's a drop in price if you act like this?"

"Hmph, it's not up to you as a son to tell me what to do, and you don't have to talk to me. If you really don't care about this person, I don't bother to target such a small person. This weekend, come back honestly and talk to McCaw Miss Li, contact me, I won't pursue this matter any more, you can decide for yourself."

Pei Hanrui held the phone in silence for a long time, the light from the ceiling of the study hit his face, casting a shadow on the part covered by bangs.

After a while, he said, "You don't have to tell me such meaningless nonsense. I never like to be threatened by others, and I don't need your consent to do things."

"What did you say...is this the attitude of talking to your father?!"

He grinned silently, his deep eyes were full of indifference and mockery: "Father, haven't you forgotten that when you were my age, didn't you talk to grandpa like this?"

"……you!"

Without waiting for the other party to say some harsh words, Pei Hanrui hung up the phone.

The cigarette case was already empty, and the coffee on the table was already cold. Pei Hanrui was playing with a delicate metal shell lighter in his hand, and looked coldly at the new reports and provocative comments that kept popping up on the computer screen, frowning uncontrollably. language.

It was the beginning of winter, and the north wind was hovering over the city, overlooking the crowds in the streets wrapped in coats in a hurry.

Ever since Qin Yi generously admitted the relationship between the two, the bloody media has been unable to get more revelations from him, so they had to turn their attention to the other party.

For several days in a row, Pei Hanrui kept a low profile and avoided wave after wave of reporters, but in the end he was blocked in the parking lot by all-pervasive Yu Ji.

Pei Hanrui's car was surrounded by entertainment journalists. They blocked the car door and knocked on the car window with their hands and microphones. The noisy questions converged into waves of noise, making the clean parking lot as noisy as a busy city.

"Mr. Pei, are you dating the male model Mr. Qin Yi?"

"A few days ago, Mr. Qin has personally admitted that you are together. Is it true, or is the other party deliberately hyping it up? What does Mr. Pei think of this?"

"Excuse me, are you gay? Are there many such people in the fashion industry, can you tell me?"

"I heard that NL's China branch is preparing for listing. Is this a hype spread by malicious competition from peers?"

"Mr. Pei..."

Turning a deaf ear to these aggressive questions, Pei Hanrui sat in the car, lit a cigarette slowly, and quietly watched the entertainment reporters jumping up and down like a clown, scratching their ears and cheeks excitedly, until the cigarette was almost finished, the reporter From the initial scrambling to the later enthusiasm dissipated and gathered around the same place without embarrassment, he slowly rolled down a section of the car window.

"I have no comment on my private affairs. If you are interested in our NL, there will be a year-end fashion show at the end of the year, and you are welcome to watch it then."

His response can be described as quite tactful, neither admitting nor denying, the typical "tight official emphasis" made many entertainment journalists very dissatisfied.

But Pei Hanrui didn't care about how many of them there were. After speaking, he rolled up the window, started the car, slid a few steps against the group of bold reporters, and slowly picked up the speed. Finally, the crowd had to give way to the sides of the car. Pei Hanrui saw the opportunity and stepped on the accelerator, the car immediately drove away, leaving a cloud of dust flying all over the place.

After deliberate hype by the media, this scandal has been followed by countless pairs of eyes for a while, and they have been following the progress with various purposes, some sighing, gloating, or feeling guilty. .

And one of them, the mood is still complicated.

Yan Gui's eyes fell on the several gossip magazines and newspapers spread out on the coffee table, all of which were secretly photographed smiles of Qin Yi and Pei Hanrui when they were getting along.

That smile was both familiar and unfamiliar, Yan Gui's fingertips lightly stroked the face on the page, his eyes were slightly dazed.

In the past, Qin Yi would only show such a smile to himself...

Since the last time he gave up his face and went to Tianlu to find Qin Yi, and was rejected mercilessly on the spot, Yan Gui hadn't heard Qin Yi's name mentioned for a long time, but whenever he was alone in the dead of night, he always couldn't restrain himself. Think of him, think of every bit of being with him.

The corner of Yan Gui's mouth slowly cracked into a teasing slit, people, they are so cheap, they only start to miss it after losing it.

The entertainment channel on the TV broadcast the latest developments, Yan Gui squeezed the remote control with a sullen face and pressed the switch heavily, the back of Pei Hanrui driving away without hesitation disappeared from the screen in the blink of an eye, he took out his mobile phone and stared at the address book Shang Qinyi hesitated for a while, and finally got up and walked out the door...

Qin Yi has not had a good rest for several days.

Because there are always paparazzi peeping outside the house, he had to give up the good life of staying at home as a rice bug, looking for work every day, and even living in Ji Hangfeng's house occasionally.

Although the previously cooperated advertisers rejected several big contracts, Ji Hangfeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp. After several days of mediation, he managed to get some advertisements for second- and third-rate products, and there were still a few of them. I took the initiative to find Qin Yi during the sensitive period when he was being hyped—it’s not a high-end brand anyway, so he won’t care if you’re famous for something good or bad, even Sister Feng can shoot it. A wedding dress ad, isn't it?

Originally, Ji Hangfeng was still hesitating whether to take it or not, but Qin Yi agreed without saying a word, even no matter how shabby the salary was and how dense the schedule was.

Over the past few days, Ji Hangfeng watched him go out early and return late every day, and occasionally record commercials all night long, away from the sight of the media, and concentrate on his low-key work. He wanted to use time to dilute the impact, and he had very little time to sleep. Also take time to maintain physical exercise.

He is such a glutton for eating and sleeping, but in just one week, Ji Hangfeng looked at his gradually thinning cheeks, he was so anxious that he couldn't speak his usual nagging, so he could only silently hate himself for not being able to help him How many.

That night, Qin Yi returned home in the middle of the night, the night wind was cold, and there were no stars or moon in the dark.

Perhaps it was because they failed to block him for many days, and the entertainment journalists couldn't bear it anymore and went home to sleep one after another.

Qin Yi wore a big mask, which covered most of his face, carefully checked that there were no paparazzi nearby, and then walked upstairs carefully.Even going back to his own house in a sneaky way made him quite unhappy, but he couldn't find a better way except to be patient.

Coming out of the elevator, Qin Yi had just walked a few steps, when he suddenly found a figure leaning against the wall in the corridor, heard footsteps, turned around, under the dim light of the corridor, his long-lost face looked a little pale.

"You are finally back, Qin Yi."

"Yan Gui..." Qin Yi looked at him, his eyes narrowed slowly.

Just when Qin Yi unexpectedly reunited with his old lover whom he had seen for a long time, a silver car was driving towards this direction in the dark.
