Chapter 401 - 401 He Finally Found Out!
401 He Finally Found Out!
“…”
Three black dots appeared above Su Ji’s head. Three seconds later, she replied, “I know. ”
“Then why would you?” Casar wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Perhaps she really didn’t know how much teasing she was teasing a grown man. He reorganized his thoughts and said earnestly, “I know that your boss is indeed a very capable and charming person. Even if you don’t have a boyfriend, you must know that…”
Su Ji was quite interested in the information related to Pei Huai. “What? ”
Casar glanced at the tightly shut door, as if he could not bear to tell her the harsh truth, but after some struggle, he decided to tell her.
He looked into her eyes and said, “he has a girlfriend.”
Su Ji: “…”
She felt that she had just wasted 30 seconds of her life.
Su Ji leaned back in her chair. “Of course I know.”
Casar was shocked again.
This girl was really bold.
However, not only did he not hate her, he liked her even more. What should he do?
In the end, rationality prevailed over emotions. Casar moved his chair closer to her. “Since you both are taken, you should have a sense of boundary. Even I, someone from XBY, felt that the way you picked up his chopsticks just now was too intimate. Next time…”
Su Ji understood and interrupted with a smile. “You’re mistaken. We are actually… ”
Before she could finish speaking, Pei Huai finished his call and pushed the door open. His gaze fell on the two people who were next to each other. His tone was cold. “Why are you sitting so close?”
Casar subconsciously pulled away and then realized that he was trying to help Su Ji. What was there to feel guilty about?
Su Ji”s words were interrupted.
Casar found a random excuse. “I’m talking to my housemate, why are you so anxious?”
Pei Huai opened Casar’s doc.u.ment unhurriedly. “Do you need to send all the a.s.sistants outside to talk to your housemate?”
Casar took out a cigarette to hide his guilt. “We’re talking about the show. It’s confidential. The fewer people who know about it, the better. ”
Pei Huai signaled to the waiter with his eyes. The waiter nodded and turned on the air filter in the room.
When Casar saw that he had finally opened his doc.u.ment, he calmed down and stopped talking about other things.
Although the food was to her liking, Su Ji was 80% full and did not want to eat anymore. She started scrolling through her phone.
Pei Huai looked at the doc.u.ments and glanced at Su Ji from time to time.
He saw her playing with a piece of veal between her chopsticks, but she kept going back and forth without putting it into her mouth.
He felt like feeding her.
The preliminary results of the calligraphy compet.i.tion had not been released yet, so Su Ji was browsing the entertainment news.
Zhou Xuefang’s crying was ranked 19th on the trending searches. Su Ji did her the honor of clicking on it and saw the exciting footage.
Zhou Xuefang was probably drunk. Her eyes were as red as a rabbit’s and she was crying. Unfortunately, the netizens did not buy it. Not only did they not sympathize with her, but they even took screenshots and made them into emojis.
There was also a video of her manager, Chen Jing.
In the short video, Chen Jing raised her hand to block the camera. Her tone was cold as she expressed that she was no longer working with Zhou Xuefang. She hoped that everyone would pay more attention to her new artiste, Fang Shuangshuang.
She was quick to change.
The top trending searches were basically all news related to “Cohabitation”.
Ever since it started airing, their show had dominated the rankings for several days in a row.
As “Cohabitation” received more and more attention, the fans gradually formed groups. There was no need to search for detailed information about the guests. There were already a bunch of people who were ready to answer those questions.
Su Ji knew a bit about everyone. Pei Xi asked her to do her homework in advance.
However, a piece of information about Dr. w.a.n.g Yi caught her attention.
w.a.n.g Yi returned to China last year. According to the exposé, he had been working at the National Inst.i.tute of Life Sciences ever since.
He also mentioned that he went to work at the research inst.i.tute every day.
After he became popular from the show, many fans wanted to go to where he worked to take a shot of him
Everyone knew that the National Inst.i.tute of Life Sciences was mysterious and sacred. Ordinary people couldn’t enter. They just wanted to take a picture of Dr. w.a.n.g Yi driving to the research inst.i.tute.
In the end, no one managed to capture Dr. w.a.n.g Yi entering and leaving the research inst.i.tute.
One of w.a.n.g Yi’s fanatical fans had been waiting since six in the morning. She looked at the cars one by one, but she did not see her idol!
This puzzled the netizens.
Doesn’t Dr. w.a.n.g Yi work here?
Why couldn’t they get a shot?
If he didn’t come here for work, then where did he go?
Recalling the mysterious bottles and jars in his room…they suddenly had gooseb.u.mps.
Su Ji was engrossed in reading the news, while Casar and Pei Huai were discussing the next stage.
Before the smoke from Casar’s cigarette could reach Su Ji, it was filtered out by the air filter.
Seeing that Pei Huai was not relenting, Casar tried to appeal to his emotions. “You definitely won’t be at a loss. Also, just do me a favor. Don’t make me lose face in front of my girl.”
“Your girl?” Pei Huai’s gaze slowly landed on him and he frowned.
Now that Casar knew Su Ji’s intention, he thought that it might be better to say it aloud, “you have a girlfriend, but I’m single.” He looked at Su Ji. “I’ve taken a fancy to that girl. This time, I’ve come to China partly for you and partly for her. If I get the project, I’ll be able to impress her.”
His tone was quite sincere, but he did not notice that Pei Huai’s face was dark.
If he did not say this, Pei Huai would have given him the project.
However, at the moment he would not even see the shadow of the project.
“You’re interested in my girlfriend?” Pei Huai sneered.
Casar was puzzled that he did not understand. He continued, “your girlfriend? I said I’m interested in…”
As he spoke, Casar suddenly froze.
He finally understood.
“You mean Su Ji?” Casar almost choked on his cigarette. He was coughing hard, but he did not wait for himself to recover before he continued asking, “she’s your girlfriend???”
He raised his voice. At the dining table, Su Ji also looked away from her phone screen and glanced at them.
