Chapter 497: Let’s Go to the Poultry Market!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Early the next morning, Pei Huai and Xu Mingzhi arrived at the parking lot.
After he was done with work, Xu Mingzhi missed her daughter and wanted to go home earlier. However, she did not expect Pei Huai to immediately arrange to go back at 6 in the morning after telling him that.
Pei Shizhan came to send them. He still had to stay in State M for a while.
Pei Huai did not communicate with him the entire time. The two of them seemed to be in a good mood, but they did not want to talk to each other.
Xu Mingzhi boarded the plane first, leaving the father and son outside.
Pei Huai checked the departure time and Pei Qingshen checked the weather for the next few hours.
Pei Huai finished reviewing the doc.u.ment and handed it to Shen Mu. Before he turned around to board the plane, Pei Shizhan called out to him.
Shen Mu glanced at CEO Pei and boarded the plane first.
Pei Shizhan didn’t have anything special to say. He didn’t want their father-son relationship to be too stiff. He just remembered what he saw yesterday. “Anna is a good child. If vou have something to sav, sav it nicelv. Be tactful.”
Pei Huai put his hands into his pockets and turned his back to him. “There’s nothing to talk about.”
Pei Shizhan said, “men should be more gentlemanly.”
Pei Huai chuckled. “I’m different from you. Those whom I don’t like won’t get any preferential treatment from me.”O
“I won’t do anything that will make Su Ji misunderstand. If she gets angry, I’ll be the one in trouble. Just thinking about her expression makes my heart ache. I will only care about her in this life”o
Pei Shizhan was silent for a long time.
In the end, he smiled. “Save the nice words for the wedding. You’re not young anymore. Since you’ve made up your mind, hold on tight.”
Pei Huai walked forward. “Don’t worry, I am…”
“Su Ji, Pei Huai just called. She said that she and your mother will be back tonight!”o
After lunch, Du Meilan smiled and found Su Ji, who was stretching in the yard.
Su Yi kept her face completely pressed on her lap, a position that required a high degree of flexibility. Her gaze shifted from the phone to her. “Oh, did they say what time?”
Du Meilan looked at her and once again felt that her youngest son was blessed.
She thought for a moment. “I guess it’ll be past 9 0’clock at night.”
Su Ji once again pulled her body forward at an angle of 10 degrees and pressed down. Then, she straightened her body and slid her phone into her pocket. “By the way, the news has almost died down. When he comes back, I plan to go home with my mother. Thanks for hosting us.”
‘ Du Meilan didn’t expect her to want to leave when her son was about to come back. “Why are you in such a hurry? Stay a few more days.”
Su Ji smiled. “We don’t live far away. It’ll be easy for us to meet..”
Du Meilan said, “Pei Huai was in a hurry to come back because he wanted to see you. If you don’t stay here, he…”
Su Ji had already planned for this.
“I’ll find him a subst.i.tute,” she said.
Subst.i.tute?
Du Meilan froze for a moment.
However, Su Ji immediately asked, “are pets allowed?”
Du Meilan finally realized that the subst.i.tute she was talking about was a small pet.
She had never seen her son with a pet. When Pei Huai was very young, she took him to a pet shop. When the puppies and kittens saw him, they would hug his thigh and hook onto his pants, begging to be pet.
At that time, Du Meilan’s heart melted.
Unfortunately, although the little animals liked her son very much, her son was not interested at all. Moreover, he was a germaphobe, so it was impossible for him to keep pets.
The little young master was only five years old, and his skin was as fair as milk. However, he exuded an overbearing aura.
It was Du Meilan’s regret that she had never seen her with small animals.
So she immediately replied, “sure, we like small animals.”
“Then I’ll borrow the Pei family’s car to go out this afternoon?” Du Meilan smiled. “Sure, get the butler to go with you. He’ll help you get whatever you want to buy.”
“I can go by myself,” Su Ji said.
Du Meilan said, “listen to me. He’s familiar with the places around here. Tell him what you want to buy. He knows everything.”
Su Yi touched the tip of her nose. “Thank you.”
Before setting off, Su Ji checked the bathroom to see what kind of animals would be good for her boyfriend.
She suddenly had this thought. Actually, it had nothing to do with her wanting to go home. Yesterday, Pei Huai had sent her a message in the middle of the night and she knew that he was not in a good mood. After hearing her voice, he was in a better mood, so she felt more at ease.
Her heart felt warm when she hung up the phone, but she couldn’t fall asleep as she lay on the bed. Suddenly, she thought of something. When she was around, Pei Huai could call her if he was in a bad mood.
What if she wasn’t there?
In her previous life, she had experienced many sudden goodbyes. Moreover, it was unnatural for her and her mother to be here.
Since they could suddenly come to this era, what if they transmigrated to another era?
She had never thought about this before, but ever since the experiment confirmed that Bian Tong might have lived for thousands of years, she suddenly began to think about it.
Therefore, she wanted to give Pei Huai something. If she was suddenly not around one day, he could still have something to remind him of her.
Of course, it would be best if that day did not happen.
She would really cry.
The answers on the Internet were all the same. They were either kittens, puppies, hamsters, or rabbits.
Su Ji felt that she should give him something special.
In the car, the butler sat in the front pa.s.senger seat while she sat in the back seat.
The driver drove steadily.
Su Ji asked the butler, “what do you think a couple should give each other…”
She did not know how to express it. The butler was very smart. “To express their love for each other?”
Su Ji paused, put her hand to her lips, and coughed. She looked away. “Kind of…However, I want to give him a small animal.”
“Animals…” This was a little difficult for the butler. He thought about it seriously. “I don’t know much about the thoughts of young people nowadays, but in our time, if a girl gave a handkerchief to a boy she liked, she would embroider a pair of mandarin ducks on it. Mandarin ducks symbolize love. I don’t think there’s anything more special than this.”
“That’s quite special.” Su Ji felt that it was a good idea. She looked at the rearview mirror. “But where can I buy mandarin ducks?”
The corners of the butler’s mouth twitched. “I don’t think we can buy mandarin ducks. However, there is something similar…” ‘ Something similar is fine too. Can you bring me there?” “Yes, but…” The butler suddenly hesitated.
“This is very important to me. It’s best if I can buy it today.”
The butler remembered that before he left, Madam Du had specially instructed him to do his best to satisfy all of Miss Su’s requests.
“Alright, Miss Su..” He turned the car around, “let’s go to the poultry market!”
