Pei Huai’s expression was slightly startled, his Adam’s apple moving clearly.
The girl smiled in front of him. That smile was more dazzling than ever.
Birthday…
December 9th..
The tone she used when she suggested delaying the date of their marriage, and the deep meaning she had when she asked him what day it was last night. He was momentarily stunned before he broke into laughter.
By the time he finally reacted, everyone else in the room had become a backdrop..
It was fine if Pei Huai did not remember his birthday, but he had even forgotten about Pei Qingshen’s.
However, Du Meilan remembered. At 10 0’clock in the morning, she returned with the cake she had ordered.
Therefore, she knew from the start why Su Ji had postponed the signing.
Pei Qingshen listened to the lute in the living room with his eyes closed. He placed both hands on his walking stick, and the armrest of the walking stick was polished by him.
A beautiful melody slowly came out from the 3D surround sound system. It was a song called “Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix” Pei Qingshen would hum along with the melody.
“The old man is in a good mood today,” Du Meilan said with a smile. Pei
Qingshen opened his eyes when he heard that. “You’re back.”
Noticing the cake gift box in her hand, Pei Qingshen stood up and walked over. “You’re so thoughtful. Remember to order a wedding cake for those two children.”
Du Meilan glanced at the old man and shook her head with a helpless smile. “It’s not wrong to say that it’s a wedding cake.”
The cake was placed on the dining table. Du Meilan tied the ribbon and looked at the study room. “How is it? Is it done?”
Pei Qingshen nodded. “They have been in there for an hour. Should be done by now. He was really anxious.”
However, as he was speaking, he heard some movement over there.
The door opened and a group of people came out.
Walking to the living room, the manager shook hands with Pei Huai.
He bent down and stretched out his hands. His movements were orderly but slightly reserved.
Finally, he handed over his business card. “If you need anything in the future,
Mr. Pei, feel tree to contact me.”
Pei Huai took the business card and looked at it. The “Civil Affairs Bureau ” was marked in red.
Su Ji ate a small plate of lychees before coming out. She strolled to Pei Huai’s side and walked into his peripheral vision.
Pei Huai raised his eyebrows and placed his business card aside. “Thank you, but I won’t need your help in the future.”
The staff member paused for a moment before he reacted.
The Civil Affairs Bureau was a place for marriages and divorces. Of course, CEO Pei would not use it again!
Du Meilan came over and affectionately put her hand on Su Ji’s shoulder. “Now Su Ji is officially my daughter-in-law.”
Su Ji looked at her and smiled.
Du Meilan’s fingers were softer than Xu Mingzhi’s. Not only was her skin smooth and tender, but her knuckles were also soft. She had never done any physical labor and was the daughter of a famous family who had been carefully nurtured since she was young.
Every time Du Meilan came into physical contact with Su Ji, Su Ji could easily feel the difference.
In those years when Xu Mingzhi brought Su Ji to roam the martial world, her hands were full of calluses from brandishing knives and spears.
Therefore, every time this happened in the past, Su Ji’s heart would ache for Madam Xu, thinking that if her mother could grow up being protected like Pei Huai’s mother, she would suffer less in her life.
But today…
Su Ji recalled the news she saw online a few days ago.
The news was posted online for a short time. Before it could ferment, it was quickly calmed down and the trending searches were removed at the same time. However, since they could see it that day…could Pei Huai’s mother not see
However, no one in the Pei family mentioned this matter. Perhaps it was because today was a special day, or perhaps no one would mention it in a few days.
Pei Huai’s mother’s expression was as usual. Her smile was beautiful, as if nothing had happened. It was as if that matter, whether it was true or not, would not bring her any emotional fluctuations.
Su Ji sighed in her heart.
Both ladies had their own difficulties.
Pei Qingshen chuckled, perfectly demonstrating what it meant to be joyful.
“Everyone, you’ve worked hard. I’ve prepared a cake here. You guys should eat some before you leave.”
The staff members were flattered and hurriedly waved their hands to say that they were welcome.
If their boss found out, they would be in deep trouble!
Pei Qingshen did not make things difficult for them and let the butler send them off.
He lowered his head and glanced at the cake.
It was double-layered. It wasn’t very big, but the craftsmanship was very good. It was like a piece of art. The top layer was especially shaped like a fondant. It was a longevity peach…
Longevity peach?
Pei Qingshen glanced at the date on his pocket watch.
Oh.
So today was Pei Huai’s birthday.
He finally remembered.
They actually managed to get the marriage certificate on Pei Huai’s birthday…
What a coincidence!
Lunch would take a while, so Du Meilan asked Su Ji if she was hungry. If she was, she could eat cake first.
Su Ji said that she had just eaten lychees and was not hungry. They could cut the cake when everyone was present.
Du Meilan said she would do as she wished.
Then, he thought of something and took out his phone. He tapped a few times on the screen and the screen switched to the video call with Anna.
It was late at night in Continent M, but Anna was not asleep. She stayed up all night waiting for Su Ji and Pei Huai to get their marriage certificate. She wanted to send her blessings as soon as possible!
From the screen, she saw Su Ji and Pei Hhuai wearing couple outfits and sitting together with their shoulders touching. It was very natural and intimate.
On Su Jits side, after registering their marriage, she had to respond to everyone who had sent their blessings.
Chef Qin was busy in the kitchen. The servants went in to deliver fruit plates and dessert plates. He stopped one of them and asked, “did Aunt Wu come with Miss su?”
The servant reacted. “Aunt Wu from the Xu family? She didn’t come.”
Chef Qin let out a disappointed “oh”.
Before the servant left, she reminded him with a smile, “don’t call her Ms. Su anymore.”
“Ah?” Chef Qin asked, “then what should I call her?”
He had been busy in the kitchen all morning and did not follow up on the situation in the house. The servant smiled at him and said, “we have to call her Third Young Mistress.”
Just before dinner time, Xu Mingzhi stopped in the courtyard with a beautiful and elegant drift
Then, the sound of the car door opening and closing was heard.
“Bang, bang” two times, it was a sonorous and forceful sound.
She threw her hand back and the car keys flew out in a parabola. Wei Wei hurriedly caught them and looked at the domineering back of her CEO, letting out a small sigh.
“Director Xu, shall I go back to the office and wait for you?” Wei Wei probed.
The door opened. Du Meilan stood at the entrance and waved enthusiastically. “Mingzhi, come quickly. I’ve already taken out the wine. You’re the only one left!”
Xu Mingzhi replied with a smile, then turned to look at Wei Wei, who was still waiting for her reply.
“You can go back first. Don’t wait for me.” She strode towards the entryway and left her back view to her. “I might not be back to the office today!” Wei:
She was familiar with this aura.. Her CEO Xu…was going to shout!
