At the top of the video call with Pei Huai, Su Ji saw a few other WeChat messages pop up.
Someone had just changed his name to an unfamiliar name. She recognized that it was from her silly younger brother, Su Junye, who loved to ride on her popularity.
[ My Awesome Sister: “You and Pei Huai are getting married?” ]
[ My Awesome Sister: “It was the person you kicked out from the team who told me! How did he know? He actually knew before me!” ]
[ “He said that he wasn’t contacting you and asked me to wish you a happy marriage. He also asked me for your address and said that there would be a big gift.” ]
[ “But don’t worry Even a three-year-old child wouldn’t believe this kind of scam. I’ve given him my address. I’ll help you collect it first. If it’s something disgusting sent by a pervert, I’ll throw it away for you…” ]
Su Junye sent WeChat messages at an extremely fast pace, one after another.
This was something he had practiced when he was flirting with girls.
Replying to three or four girls at the same time, it was impossible not to have such speed.
However, if he had such hand speed in the game, Su Ji would not have disliked him so much.
“What are you looking at?” The man’s deep voice came from the phone, and Su Ji looked away. “Nothing. It’s just a junk message.”
“I thought you were busy and would only reply to me tomorrow.” Su Ji changed into a comfortable lying position. She propped her head on the side and rested her elbows on the pillow. Her thick hair was pushed back by her fingers, and her exposed neck was illuminated by the phone. It was so fair that it shone in the darkness.
Pei Huai was silent for a few seconds and looked away. “Send me a message when you wake up tomorrow. I’ll bring you to the old mansion.”
Usually, as long as it was a message from this young lady, even if she was just teasing him for nothing, he would reply immediately. Moreover, today, it was about the marriage certificate…
When he agreed to postpone it, he felt as if he had spent a year in the past few days. He regretted agreeing to her request countless times.
And today, she finally agreed.
Even if he was notified an hour in advance, he would immediately put aside everything else and bring this matter to the forefront, let alone at night. Su Ji smiled. “Aren’t we going to the Civil Affairs Bureau?”
“Come to the old mansion first.” Pei Huai said, “I’ll arrange the rest.”
It was obvious that he had already planned it out. From his seemingly calm expression, Su Ji could see the hidden anxiety.
Su Ji thought that after she sent that message, Pei Huai would be able to realize her intention of proposing an extension, but it seemed that he did not.
“What day is tomorrow?” She reminded. Pei Huai replied instantly, “our wedding anniversary.”
Su Ji paused and could not help but laugh.
In that case…it seemed to be right
The next day, Su Ji woke up an hour earlier than usual. She didn’t set an alarm, so she woke up naturally.
8:L0.
The temperature had risen a little today, and the sunlight outside the window was just right.
The weather forecast said that this might be the last time the temperature rose before Christmas. It was a rare good weather.
When Su Ji changed, she chose a white outfit. She heard that modern people would wear white outfits to get their marriage certificate and take photos.
This was too different from before, but when in Rome, do as the romans do.
Downstairs, there was a small sweet glutinous rice ball on the dining table. It looked crystal clear.
Xu Mingzhi left her a note.
[ “Baby, try the new product developed by our company when you wake up.” ]
Su Ji scooped one into her mouth. It was soft and fragrant. When she bit it open, the sweet lychee fragrance was very strong.
In the past year, the Xu and Pei family had developed all kinds of lychee flavored products. These two companies had single-handedly raised the price of lychees in China by one-third.
Peers were scrambling to follow suit, guessing that these two companies would compete to develop lychees. Most likely, the National Health a.s.sociation would soon publish an amazing discovery about the health benefits of lychees!
They were convinced of this and would never have thought that the two companies would act like this… Just because someone liked lychees!
Xu Mingzhi’s note had two sections.
The second paragraph: “I might come back late today. Ms. Lan suddenly said that she wanted to meet me this morning. I don’t know where we’ll meet. Baby, eat well at home. I will miss you
Su Ji chewed on a sweet glutinous rice ball on each side of her cheek.
She had wanted to tell Madam Xu about their marriage this morning, but she didn’t have the time.
However, she guessed that Madam Xu did not need to miss her too much because she might be able to see her again soon…
When she came back to her senses, there was only soup left in the bowl.
The last one was in Su Ji’s mouth.
Her face darkened.
With the progression of her pregnancy, her appet.i.te was indeed better than before.
She found Pei Huai on her phone. The last message before she went to bed last night was sent to him, so it was easy to find him. “Are you awake?”
“If you wake up, I’ll ask Uncle w.a.n.g to send me over.”
Although Pei Huai had said that he would pick her up last night, she was already awake and it would take more than 40 minutes for him to come over. She might as well go over directly.
As soon as the message was successfully sent, the dialog box showed a notification that the other party was typing.
Soon, the other side replied.
[ “You’re awake, I’ll pick you up.” ]
Su Ji pushed the bowl of glutinous rice b.a.l.l.s to the side and sent a voice message.
“Don’t worry about it. Uncle w.a.n.g…”
Halfway through the conversation, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Aunt Wu, who was busy washing clothes, shouted, “I’ll open the door!”
The sound of footsteps traveled from the laundry to the entrance, and the door opened.
The moment Su Ji looked over, her beautiful eyes flashed.
Pei Huai appeared there. The tall Aunt Wu looked up at him. “Aiya, the son-in-law is here!”
The phone screen in her hand hadn’t even turned off when he appeared in front of her.
The sun had risen completely outside the house, and the golden light gilded his shoulders and the side of his neck.
Su Ji’s phone stopped at the corner of her lips.
Pei Huai’s eyes were gentle.
The air was quiet.
She wanted to ask him when he arrived and how long he had waited.
However, when the words were about to come out of her mouth, she thought of another even crazier answer…
When they arrived at the Pei residence, they saw Pei Qingshen coming out of the house with a smile.
The butler, servants, and Chef Qin were all busy.
Pei Qingshen asked Su Ji if she was hungry and if she wanted to have breakfast first.
Su Ji was about to answer when Pei Huai grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the study. “We’ll eat after we’re done with business.” Su Ji paused for a moment before he took her away.
It was rare for Pei Huai to not let her eat breakfast.
Normally, coaxing her to eat was more important than anything else.
Pei Qingshen understood. The smile on his face had not stopped since Su Ji entered the room. “Alright, then quickly bring Su Ji in. He’s already waiting inside.”
Su Ji raised her head when he heard that.
He was already waiting inside?
Who?
Pei Huai curled his lips and said, “you’ll know very soon…”
