Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
There were a hundred of them on the webpage.
Some of them made sense to Pei Huai, while some were just jokes. But no matter what it was, Pei Huai remembered everything after reading it.
He had never thought that a proposal would be so anxiety-inducing.
He had never felt this before even when the Pei Corporation had launched its initial public offering.
He held his phone with one hand and propped his forehead with the other.
Perhaps what made him anxious was not just the proposal. Ever since he went with Su Ji to the police station last time, an inexplicable uneasiness seemed to have grown in his heart.
This made him often depressed and unable to concentrate. It was as if something was dragging him along, or as if something was about to happen.
However, he had no idea what it was.
He only knew that before Su Ji truly belonged to him, every day was torture for him.
The plane arrived in the early morning at Z-Sea. It was close to the sea, and the sun was rising bit by bit. On the way to the manor, Su Ji could smell the fresh seaside scent all the way. She was relaxed and happy.
Sitting in the passenger seat was the old butler of the Imperial Palace. He smiled kindly and introduced Su Ji to the beautiful scenery here.
Su Ji turned around with a smile and met Pei Huai’s gaze.
He was as handsome as ever and looked pleasing to the eye. However, there was a faint layer of green in his eyes, as if he had not slept.
Su Ji remembered that she had fallen asleep as soon as she boarded the plane and was only woken up before she got off the plane. As for when Pei Huai had started resting, she did not know.
“Don’t tell me you haven’t slept all this time?” She asked with a frown.
Pei Huai curled his lips. “I slept for a while.”
“Insomnia? Why didn’t you wake me up?” Su Ji asked. “You might get sleepy after talking for a while.'”‘
“I saw that you were sleeping so soundly that I couldn’t bear to wake you up.” Pei Huai pulled her over and placed his hand on her thigh.
His fingers slowly caressed her knuckles. “You’ve been sleeping better than before.”
“Is it?” Su Ji paused for a moment and looked away from the window. “I used to sleep a lot too…’
It was already afternoon at the Pei family’s house. Du Meilan, who was standing by the window, heard the sound of a car entering the courtyard. She smiled and said to Wang Yi, who had come to help her fix the computer, “Pei
Song is back just in time. Stay for dinner tonight.”
Wang Yi repeatedly fiddled with the programs on the computer. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “thanks.”
Finally, when Madam Du spoke, he turned the computer to her. “I’ve fixed it.
See if there’s anything that feels different.”
In fact, he was done half an hour ago, but he didn’t tell Du Meilan.
Du Meilan put down her coffee cup, walked to the bar counter and bent down. She held the mouse in her hand and operated it.
The mouse clicked a few times. Du Meilan was very satisfied. “No issue anymore. Thanks for helping an aunt out. ”
“…” Wang Yi looked at her, his jaw slightly tensed up. “You’re not an aunt, more like a older sister…”
Du Meilan paused for a moment and couldn’t help but laugh. “Nonsense. I’m the same generation as your dad.”
After saying that, she put away her laptop, picked up her coffee cup, and brought him to the living room.
As they walked, they suddenly realized something.
She wondered if she was being paranoid.
Wang Yi seemed to be talking to her quite casually these days.
There were sounds at the entrance.
Pei Song had returned, and he had another one with him.
Du Meilan saw the person clearly. “Ms. Cao is also here, but unfortunately, Su Ji is not here. She went abroad with Pei Huai.”
“I know.” Cao Zhuzhu wore a high-collared shirt and stood beside Pei Song. She hesitated for a few seconds before bringing the supplements she bought with her. “I’m not here for Su Ji today. I’m here to see you.”
“Oh?” Du Meilan’s smile grew wider. In order to tease her son, she deliberately didn’t take the things from Cao Zhuzhu’s hands immediately.
Pei Song curled his lips and took the gifts away. He placed them directly on the shoe cabinet at the entrance. He looked at Du Meilan and said casually, “don’t be like this. The girlfriend is shy.”
Cao Zhuzhu glared at him.
“Don’t put it on the shoe cabinet.” Du Meilan was in a good mood and asked the butler to bring the gifts in.
Previously, Pei Song told her that he was pursuing Ms. Cao. Today, he was officially bringing her home. It seemed that he had succeeded.
“There are a lot of people here today.” Du Meilan was in the mood to cook again. “Ms. Cao, let’s have dinner together tonight. Wang Yi is also here. You’ve participated in the show with him before, so you should know him.”
Cao Zhuzhu nodded. She was usually a maverick and rebellious person, but now she was like an obedient girl in front of Madam Du.
This was not the first time she had seen Madam Du, but it was the first time she met her as Pei Song’s girlfriend. She was nervous.
Cao Zhuzhu, how embarrassing!
She cursed herself in her heart.
Pei Song noticed Wang Yi. Recently, this person had appeared quite frequently in their house. However, the two of them did not have much interaction, so they nodded politely at each other.
“I watched Pei Song grow up. He’s a reliable person. Ms. Cao has good taste,” wang Yi said.
Cao Zhuzhu pursed her lips.
During dinner, Pei Song mentioned that he wanted to invite Cao Zhuzhu’s mother to stay in A City for a while so that the parents of both sides could meet.
Cao Zhuzhu felt that it was a little too fast to talk about this when they had just established the relationship.
But Du Meilan didn’t think so.
Although Cao Zhuzhu had just graduated from university, her son was not young anymore, not to mention that her son’s son was almost four years old. Moreover, although the two of them had just established the relationship, they had been together for a few months. It was not a rush to propose a meeting between the parents at this time.
Pei Qingshen agreed.
He liked Cao Zhuzhu to begin with, so it would be more convenient for her to repair his lute in the future.
“I’ll make the arrangements then.” Pei Song used his surgical hand to cut the steak. He felt uneasy and said, “mom, you should be more proactive. I’m afraid I won’t be able to get past Zhuzhu’s mother.”
Cao Zhuzhu kicked him fiercely under the table. At the same time, her exasperated eyes followed him.
Pei Song was in quite a bit of pain. He looked at her with an innocent expression that said, “you said that I’m not good enough, so I have to be cautious.”
Cao Zhuzhu felt that he did it on purpose!
“Don’t worry,” Du Meilan replied.
“Don’t trouble your mother.” Pei Qingshen was good at insulting his grandson. “If it wasn’t for your bad taste, you wouldn’t have turned yourself into a second-hand item. If Zhuzhu’s mother doesn’t agree, you think of a way vnnrqplf ”
Cao Zhuzhu was extremely embarrassed. She glared at Pei Song before facing
Pei Qingshen. “It should be fine. My mother only cares about character.”
“Is that so?” Pei Song raised his eyebrows as if he had gotten what he wanted.
“Then I’m relieved..”
