Just like that, at noon the next day, Pei Huai accompanied his future mother-in-law on a business trip.
Xu Mingzhi got into the car first.
Su Ji helped him carry his luggage into the car.
Pei Huai stood at the side: “…”
After a few seconds of silence, he closed the trunk.
Su Ji knew that he did not go on a business trip voluntarily. After staring at him for a while, she suddenly pulled his arm down and kissed the corner of his lips.
“I’ll miss you.”
Pei Huai froze.
Madam Xu was in the car in front of him. He resisted the urge to kiss her back.
He looked straight at her. “I heard that you kissed Pei Xingxing like this yesterday?”
After a few seconds of silence, Su Ji smiled at him. “You’re not jealous of a child, are you?”
However, Pei Huai did not smile. His tone was serious, and there was a hint of stubbornness in his dark eyes. “You are not allowed to kiss him in the few days that I am not around.”
Su Ji could not stand being stared at like that. She looked away and raised her hand to touch the tip of her nose. “Got it.”
Su Ji stood by the roadside to send the cars off, until the two cars were so far away that they could not be seen.
She smiled.
When w.a.n.g Yi went out to take out the trash, he saw Su Ji singing at the door to celebrate her freedom.
w.a.n.g Yi:
After Su Ji returned to the house, she called Xu Ni first and asked if she had time to have fun tonight.
She was bored to death these past few days.
Xu Ni was especially happy to receive her call. She asked her how it was on the island and cursed Sonya for being so good at acting. However, when Su Ji mentioned going out tonight, she stuttered.
“Oh, that’s unfortunate. I already bought the tickets to ‘Chainsaw Ma.s.sacre 9’.
It’s a pity to cancel it…”
“I see.” Su Ji knew that she had watched every single one of the first eight movies and often recommended others to watch it in the group chat. Therefore, she would definitely be looking forward to the ninth movie’s release.
“Alright, let’s meet again next time.”
Xu Ni replied, “of course!”
After hanging up, Su Ji called her underling. There were not many of her friends who could drink. Pei Xi was definitely one of them, but she was pregnant.
In the end, Si Jingchuan gave the same answer. He wanted to watch a movie tonight too.
Su Ji narrowed her eyes. “The movie you are going to watch, is it Chainsaw Ma.s.sacre 9?”
Si Jingchuan was stumped. “Boss, how…how did you know?”
Later, Su Ji thought about it and remembered another person.
‘Tonight?” When Cao Zhuzhu received the call, she was waiting for her the fast-food restaurant in front of their school. She tapped her fingers counter slowly. “1 am free…”
Su Ji whistled. “Then let’s meet at the bar tonight?”
Cao Zhuzhu replied, “no problem.”
“Your children’s meal is ready. You’re really lucky. There’s only one mystery box left.”
Su Ji heard the cashier’s voice on the other end of the phone.
Cao Zhuzhu said, “okay.”
She put the phone on her shoulder, picked up her plate, and turned to her seat.
Su Ji teased, “is a children’s meal enough?”
Cao Zhuzhu smiled. “I’m trying to lose weight. This is too much.”
After saying that, she looked at the food. It was not only a children’s set meal, but also the breakfast version.
Only the breakfast set has a mystery box.
Fortunately, it was an all-day breakfast. Cao Zhuzhu was eating it for three days in a row.
After hanging up, she put her phone back into her pocket. She pulled out a chair and sat down, opening the mystery box first.
She didn’t know why she was so persistent. Anyway, she had to eat. It didn’t matter what she ate.
In fact, she was a pessimist and didn’t believe in miracles. She had been extremely unlucky since she was young. She had gotten six monsters and two dark Tigas in the past three days.
Today was the last day of the event, so this was her last chance.
She opened the box. Before she could open the wrapping paper inside, a card with a picture on it floated out.
It was gold in color. There were a few words written in bold, “Limited Edition:
Shining Diga! ”
Cao Zhuzhu’s hand that was holding the cards paused.
Meanwhile, Su Ji sat cross-legged on the sofa, her two fingers holding the phone as she lightly tapped her chin. The two of them going to the bar together did not seem to be exciting enough. Besides, Pei Huai said that it was dangerous for two girls to go out together, so Su Ji decided…to find another one.
At 9 0’clock in the evening, Su Ji changed into an all-black outfit with a tight singlet and loose slacks. She wore a hat and a mask. Her long hair was loose. Just from afar, one could tell that this girl was very energetic.
She went out when there was no one in the living room, so that the Pei family would not be worried. When she walked to the entrance to change her shoes, she happened to b.u.mp into Du Meilan who had just returned home. “Are you going out, Su Ji?” Du Meilan took off her coat and hung it on the side.
Su Ji: ‘
Du Meilan probably knew where she was going when she saw her outfit. Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Du Meilan suddenly smiled, revealing two beautiful dimples. “Don’t worry, I’m different from Pei Huai. When you’re young, you should go out more. I didn’t and now I regret it.”
Su Ji raised the brim of her hat slightly. After a few seconds, she suddenly asked, “do you want to come with us?”
Du Meilan was amused, “I’d better wait for your mother to come back and go with her.”
“Oh,” Su Ji replied.
“When Pei Huai comes back, I still have to report to him, don’t drink too much.
When you’re done, I’ll get Pei Song to pick you up.”
Su Ji subconsciously wanted to say that there was no need, but she remembered that Cao Zhuzhu would be there, so she did not refuse.
Du Meilan smiled and waved her hand.
Before lopm, Su Ji arrived at the back door of the bar.
The bartender enthusiastically brought her to the private room that she had booked in advance.
On the way, he sized her up a few times and kept suppressing his excitement.
It was really Su Ji!
His “wife”!
However, he maintained his professionalism as a bartender and did not show it. It was only when he led the her to the door of the private room that he could not help but ask, “CEO Pei…didn’t come with you?”
Su Ji glanced sideways at him.
The bartender broke out in a cold sweat from her aura. He was about to apologize when he heard Su Ji say, “he’s on a business trip and can’t come.”
The bartender was stunned.
Su Ji did not get angry and answered him honestly.
His “wife” is actually so friendly!
Pushing open the door of the private room, a sweet and loud voice was heard.
Nan Miaomiao was very excited to be picked by Su Ji for the first time, but she shook Su Ji’s arm and pointed at Cao Zhuzhu, pouting as if she was fighting for her favor.. “Why is she here? Didn’t you ask me out?”
