Chapter 276 - 276 Not Just At This Moment
276 Not Just At This Moment
Nan Miaomiao was pressed against the wall and forced to watch their public display of affection. What a tragic death.
She could only watch helplessly as the two of them left together.
No wonder her best friend had suffered because of Su Ji. It seemed that she was not as easy to deal with as she had imagined.
Or rather, she could not deal with her in CEO Pei’s presence…
The more she watched Su Ji’s success, the more she felt that her best friend was really too pitiful!
Director Liang called Dong Xiyou over for a long chat, but not the other two interns.
When Dong Xiyou came out of his office, there was a smile on her shy little face, the kind that was adorned by a sense of accomplishment.
She ran to Su Ji’s dressing room as soon as she came out, but when she realized that she had just left, she quickly went to the parking lot in the backyard.
After Pei Huai got into the car, she finally caught up to Su Ji, who was getting into the pa.s.senger seat.
“Su Ji!” She was panting, one hand on her knee, and the other on Su Ji’s sleeve, “thank you so much for today!”
Su Ji replied, “no biggie, It’s a win-win situation.”
This industry was filled with favors. People helped each other in hopes that the favor could be returned in the future.
However, Su Ji did not care and was casual about it.
Dong Xiyou pursed her lips gratefully, “I didn’t manage to find CEO Pei. Help me thank him!”
She was very well-behaved and didn’t look into the car, so she didn’t know that the person sitting in the driver’s seat at the moment was Pei Huai.
Su Ji glanced at the car, “sure.”
Dong Xiyou’s face was flushed, “happy winter break!”
Su Ji liked nice girls. “You too.”
After Su Ji got into the car, Dong Xiyou waved her off until she was out of sight.
Su Ji wound down the car window and popped another piece of candy into her mouth. She glanced at Pei Huai, “I didn’t think much before saying that, don’t take it to heart.”
“Which one?” Pei Huai asked. Then, he realized that it should be the part where she told Nan Miaomiao that he loved her to death.
“I was serious,” he said as he drove. At the same time, he wound up the window beside her a little.
“You love me to death?” Su Ji’s tone was one of disbelief. “How long have we known each other?”
Pei Huai looked at the dark road. I’ll answer you after I’ve figured it out.
“But it’s definitely longer than you think.”
When Su Ji heard this, she looked at him.
Although Pei Huai and Su Ji were now a couple and she said she could dump him anytime, he somehow managed to tie her down. Later, she promised that she would never leave him before he recovered, but he recovered in a few days.
After that, he had repeatedly asked her to marry him to test her reaction.
In the beginning, Su Ji was forced to be with him. Later on, she must have been quite satisfied with him, so she wanted to try it.
Pei Huai was good at reading people’s minds, but he could not tell what Su Ji’s opinion of him was at the moment.
He said, “Su Ji, if you stay with me, I will love you even more.”
Su Ji looked at him and asked, “what if I don’t?”
Pei Huai replied, “even so, I’ll still be by your side.”
The winter wind was cold, but it didn’t feel like it.
Su Ji suddenly felt that he looked familiar.
To be precise, it was not his looks, but…that feeling was familiar.
She put her hands in her pockets and smiled, “we’re still together at this moment.”
“Not just at this moment.”
The lychee-flavored candy had a rich sweetness in her mouth. It was a new product that came from Pei Huai’s lychee manor.
He thought that this would make her gain a bit more weight.
When they were about to reach home, Pei Huai said, “free up your time in ten days.”
“Why?”
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
**
“h.e.l.lo, Sunday” continued to trend for more than half a week.
On Thursday, Su Ji remembered that the crew required them to promote it on TikTok every week.
In the distance, Han Junlei could be heard scolding a few actors. Recently, after the team’s lunch boxes had been upgraded, many of the actors had gained weight. Some of them had gained a lot of weight, and they did not look like their characters from the beginning.
Su Ji was still okay. At least she was at 90 pounds. However, she stopped gaining weight when she reached 90 pounds.
She retracted her gaze from the few people who were being scolded in the distance, took out her phone, and took a selfie, ready to post it on TikTok.
When she opened TikTok, she could still see snippets of her interaction with Pei Huai from the program that were posted by her fans.
They had already acc.u.mulated more than three million likes.
She had a normal look in her eyes, but her fans had edited it so that she looked like a girl in love.
[ “Bai Yueguang and Nicha’s public display of affection.” ]
The comments section was filled with excitement.
[ “They’re really a perfect match!” ]
[ “I really hope that it’s true, but CEO Pei doesn’t get close to women!!” ]
[ “I’ll say the same thing again. If CEO Pei likes Su Ji, I’ll be run naked on the commercial streets of A City!” ]
Su Ji took another screenshot.
It was just a random screenshot. After all, her relationship with Pei Huai was really just a delaying tactic.
She didn’t intend to let others know, or else she would be a topic of gossip in the future.
But recently, she felt that she seemed to have changed her mind.
Maybe…this screenshot …would be useful in the future.
She opened her TikTok account and posted a photo.
Soon, she received many replies.
However, this time, other than the usual “so beautiful!”, there were many other blessings.
[ “New Year is coming! Happy New Year to my husband in advance!” ]
[ “I wish my wifey a prosperous life!” ]
Only then did Su Ji remember that the people in the modern world placed great importance on New Year’s Day since they used the Gregorian birthdays.
In the blink of an eye, Su Ji had been in this world for half a year.
It was only a few days away from New Year’s Day, but the festive atmosphere had already started.
After a while, when she returned to her profile, she saw a private message that “.” sent her a few days ago.
It was just a news article and nothing else.
[ “A beautiful photo of Nan Miaomiao and Sonya traveling to Country R! Are you envious of such a friendship?” ]
“.” had also watched her performance.
Su Ji had no idea why she sent her this news article, but seeing the t.i.tle, her doubts were immediately cleared.
It turned out that Nan Miaomiao and Sonya were best friends. No wonder she knew about her and Pei Huai.
And was hostile to her.
However, Su Ji didn’t care. In the distance, Han Junlei called her over to rehea.r.s.e the lines, while Xu Ni and Si Jingchuan were quarreling on the opposite side. Su Ji stood up and put away her phone, “coming!”

The days pa.s.sed quickly when she was busy. In the blink of an eye, it was ten days later, the day Pei Huai asked Su Ji to free up her schedule…
