After Shen Mu got out of the car, it was finally quiet.
Pei Huai’s phone was placed on the seat beside him. The phone was in Do Not Disturb mode, but the lock screen would still light up from time to time.
It showed new notifications or calls that were automatically hung up.
There were quite a number of them.
However, Pei Huai did not look at it and kept looking at Su Ji.
Su Ji saw it and raised her chin. “Don’t you need to reply?”
“It seems that…” Pei Huai covered the phone with his palm. Su Ji could not see if the screen had lit up again. She could only hear Pei Huai ask her, “you’ve guessed it.”
Su Ji’s eyes froze.
Pei Huai looked at her deeply. “So, that’s why you announced it publicly on the dav of the marriage registration?”
Su Ji curled her lips and leaned back in her chair. “Not really. I just have a bad feeling.”
“It’s the same for me,” Pei Huai said as he took her hand to his lap.
He put it down, then pulled it to his lips and kissed it. Pei Huai did not stop looking at her. “I appreciate the effort.”
Before getting married, Jiang Chu had hinted to Su Ji that day, but Su Ji did not go along with him. Instead, she replied resolutely, “so I have to speed up the progress to avoid any more trouble.”
Just like today’s news, netizens were affected by public opinion. No matter how angry or irrational they were, they could only regret that Su Ji had just gotten married and encountered such a thing.
However, if Su Ji did not register their marriage first, or if she did not announce it immediately after registering their marriage, the fans would probably say something else.
Therefore, Su Ji had gotten married first and announced it publicly that day to let everyone know that their relationship had escalated. This was not to show off their love, but to let everyone know that that man was already hers…
Su Ji followed the hand and looked at Pei Huai. Her fingers were firmly held by his hand.
Both of them had fair skin, but not the same kind of fairness.
The contrast was more obvious when placed together.
Pei Huai had the cold -white skin with a very pure bloodline, while Su Ji’s skin was a little pink. Coupled with the body fragrance that came with her, Pei Huai had always described her as “beautiful and delicious.”
The news outside was abuzz with all kinds of wars and swords. The atmosphere in the car heated up, and the surroundings were quiet.
Su Ji saw Pei Huai’s eyes gradually darken. He looked at himself with eyes that seemed to be filled with honey. The whole world knew that he loved her more than she loved him, but there were still people who believed those ridiculous nonsense.
Su Ji hesitated for a few seconds between waking him up or making him sink deeper. “Don’t be too touched,” she said.
Pei Huai looked at her.
The corners of Su Ji’s lips curled up into a l.u.s.trous smile as she said, “hubby-”
Pei Huai’s pupils constricted!
Obviously, Su Ji chose the latter.
The last time Pei Huai wanted to trick her into changing the way she addressed him, she did not fall for it, but today she gave him a sweet taste.
Pei Huai grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her into his arms, his hands strong and fast.
“Say it again.”
“I didn’t hear it clearly just now…”
The two birds on the roof of the car were startled by a sound and suddenly flapped their wings to fly in different directions.
At this moment, it was no longer nice to peek at the scene in the car…
When Pei Shizhan’s caller ID popped up on Pei Huai’s phone, it was five in the morning in A City.
Pei Huai and the others had already returned to the apartment.
Pei Huai was not asleep either, but he was holding Su Ji’s wrist and pressing it firmly on the bed as if he was going to press it through.
He couldn’t answer the call.
There was only one call, and after the call was hung up, there was no more call.
At 8:30 in the morning, the security guard at the venue was on duty. When he opened the door of the security room, he saw Jiang Suiheng, who had unkempt hair and dirty face, staring at him with two big dark circles under his eyes. The security guard was so scared that the soy milk and fried dough sticks in his fall
The security guard remembered!
Yesterday, he ordered Jiang Suiheng not to leave for the time being and found an excuse to say that he had something else to do. Later, after the press conference ended, there was too much work at the venue, so he forgot about him!
In fact, not only did he not remember, even the security captain and Shen Mu did not remember.
Jiang Suiheng was locked up in the security room for the entire night!
His beard had even grown out!
“You actually dare…”
“Bang!”
Jiang Suiheng’s roar had just come out of his throat when he saw the door closed in front of him again, and it was very loud!
The security guard outside the door quickly asked the security captain, who then called Special a.s.sistant Shen to ask for instructions.
Shen Mu was so busy yesterday that he kept yawning on the phone in the second half of the night. He had just called the CEO and couldn’t get through. The CEO was probably too busy to care about that guy.
After being locked up for a night, he had vented his anger. It would be difficult to explain if he was locked up any longer. Only then did he let him go.
In the office on the top floor of the Pei Corporation building, Du Meilan received a few calls.
The secretary knocked on the door and reported the situation with CEO Pei and his wife.
Du Meilan nodded. “He hasn’t given himself a holiday for a long time. Just let him stay at home and spend more time with Su Ji. As long as their relationship isn’t affected, everything else can be solved. Oh right, strengthen the security at the apartment. If I see any secretly taken photos of my son and daughter-in-law on the news…”
As she spoke, she slowly looked at the secretary.
The secretary’s expression tensed up. He bent over stiffly. “President Du, don’t worry!”
Du Meilan let him go down first.
When the secretary left, she sensibly closed the door of her office and instructed the others not to disturb her.
After one night, the specific data on the impact of the news outbreak on various aspects had been calculated.
Du Meilan had already seen it when she arrived at the company in the morning. At this moment, she was holding a mobile phone in her hand and tapping on the table.
She dialed Pei Shizhan’s number, but the other party’s line was busy.
She wasn’t surprised. She tapped into her contacts and found another string of numbers.
The string of numbers was saved in her phone, but there was no name saved. It was just a string of numbers.
She pressed the dial b.u.t.ton and pressed the phone to her ear.
This time, the phone only rang once before it was picked up.
It was a woman’s voice that was not deliberately embellished but was naturally gentle. “h.e.l.lo, Madam Du.”
This was the first time Du Meilan had dialed this number, but it was obvious that the other party knew who she was.
In fact, when she called, Ji Xi was hesitating whether to call her, so she picked up immediately.
“Is my ex-husband with you?” Du Meilan smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. “Please pa.s.s the phone to him.”
Ji Xi said, “Madam Du, don’t worry about this. I’ll explain it clearly. I won’t implicate Su Ji…”
“Please give him the phone,” Du Meilan interrupted her and repeated, her tone colder than before.
The other side of the phone fell silent.
Half a minute later, Du Meilan heard Pei Shizhan’s voice from inside.
In the next second, Madam Du, who had always been aloof from worldly affairs, was furious.. “Pei Shizhan, you have to settle this for me today! No matter what method you use!”
