Chapter 361 - 361 She Felt a Little Hot

361 She Felt a Little Hot

After having breakfast, the crew decided to go to the cathedral together.

The spire, crosses, b.u.t.tresses, and slender pillars that were stacked on top of each other gave the building a majestic appearance and holy atmosphere.

However, Su Ji was obviously more interested in the spicy garlic prawns and potato cakes sold on the street.

Pei Huai hired a car and a guide for everyone, allowing them to experience what it was like to be the boss’ girlfriend.

Everyone was having a great time.

Shen Mu took the opportunity to reply to the other boss.

“I’m very sorry. CEO Pei is going to visit the gothic cathedral with his girlfriend in the afternoon. He said that he’ll meet you next time if there’s a chance…”

He didn’t dare to miss a single word that the boss had asked him to convey.

The man was very upset when he heard that he could not get a meeting. It was only later that he realized that the reason was that CEO Pei had to accompany his girlfriend to church.

He confirmed the reason with Shen Mu again, and Shen Mu said yes.

Shen Mu thought that he would be angry or even jealous, but he was calmer than he had expected. The man sneered disdainfully, “he’s one step ahead of me again. Tell him that I’ll have a girlfriend soon too!”

Shen Mu replied, “alright…no problem,”

Both of them were shrewd and calculative “old foxes” in the business world, but they were really childish when it came to matters concerning women!

The crew took a flight back to China that night, while Su Ji took a private plane, so she returned five hours earlier. This also inadvertently helped her get rid of the paparazzis.

The paparazzis already found out the flight number and were ready early in the morning. They had prepared strategies to get her to talk about the red marks.

In the end, they missed her. No one expected that Su Ji had already landed five hours ago.

Xu Mingzhi was waiting for her daughter at home. Pei Huai sent Su Ji home and bought some gifts on the way. Xu Mingzhi allowed the gifts to enter the house but not Pei Huai. She gave a reasonable explanation, “you must have quite a lot of work after coming back from XBY right? Go and deal with it!”

It happened to be morning in A City, so Pei Huai didn’t find an excuse to stay. He only sent a WeChat message to Su Ji, asking her to sleep a little longer to get over her jet lag.

Aunt Wu unpacked her luggage. She only had one backpack, so it was easy.

In the bedroom, Xu Mingzhi didn’t mention anything about the “mosquito bites”. She just combed her daughter’s hair after she changed into her pajamas and listened to her talk about XBY.

Xu Mingzhi had been there when she was on a business trip in her early years. She mentioned a few beautiful places, but Su Ji did not have time to go this time. Xu Mingzhi wanted to say that she would bring her there, but she changed her mind and said “ask Pei Huai to bring you there next time.”

Su Ji looked up at her and did not say anything. She looked at her mother in the mirror as she combed her hair. “I’ll help you comb your hair later.”

“Okay,” Xu Mingzhi agreed. “Draw my eyebrows too. I’m going to the office later.”

Su Ji liked to be bare-faced. Her lips were naturally red, and her face was naturally flawless.

Makeup was definitely a skill that could not be mastered without practicing. Su Ji was unfamiliar with it, so she only knew how to draw eyebrows.

In Su Ji’s memory, all women could draw their eyebrows back in those days. Therefore, even though she did not have any other makeup on her, she would still carry an eyebrow pencil with her.

The ending of “Legend of Wutian” was also a scene where the husband drew his wife’s eyebrows. In ancient times, it was indeed rare for a man to do that.

“Sure,” Su Ji smiled and raised her eyebrows.

Soon, she and Xu Mingzhi exchanged positions. Su Ji held her face and looked at her carefully, twirling the thin eyebrow pencil on her fingertips.

She wanted to design an eyebrow that suited her mother.

In fact, Su Ji knew how to draw one eyebrow shape, and it just so happened to suit Madam Xu.

They were slightly raised. They looked aggressive, but also seductive on their faces.

Su Ji’s beautiful hands moved a few times and soon, she finished drawing. Xu Mingzhi looked into the mirror and was obviously satisfied.

Su Ji received a call from Pei Xi. She turned around and leaned against the dressing table to answer the call.

Other than checking if she’s landed, Pei Xi also informed her of something.

A week later, Lychee TV would hold an internal meeting for the guests. Although Su Ji already knew who the five female guests were, the male guests were still kept a secret. Although there were different opinions on the internet, there was no solid evidence.

The date had also been set. In order to make it interesting, it was set a few days after their meeting. It was said that the executive director had chosen an auspicious day and time.

Xu Mingzhi waited for her to finish the call. “You really don’t want to rest at all. You’ve only been at home for two days and you’re going to live outside when the show starts. How much money do you want to make? Baby, you have to learn how to enjoy life…”

Before she could finish, she received a call from Wei Wei. She said that her business trip the day after tomorrow had been arranged and that she would be returning to Continent M to discuss two business deals.

Xu Mingzhi hung up the phone after asking about the schedule. She suddenly realized that she didn’t have the right to lecture her daughter in this aspect.

Su Ji smiled at her. Xu Mingzhi grabbed her briefcase and said, “alright, I’ll go to work now. I’ll be away for about a week. Ask Aunt Wu to take care of you. I’ll watch your show online.”

Su Ji nodded, rea.s.suring her.

Two days later, Xu Mingzhi went on a business trip as scheduled. Pei Huai received the news the second day after she left from Du Meilan.

That night, Su Ji was playing a game with Xu Ni on the sofa in the living room when Pei Huai called.

She ended the call. After she finished playing the game, she called him back. He was quite calm when he received her call.

“I’ve been studying the book and have some new ideas.”

His tone was so serious and calm that it seemed like he was having an academic discussion.

However, when Su Ji realized which book he was talking about, her organs froze.

She put a candy into her mouth.

“I want to try it,” his voice was quite bewitching, “you might be in a good mood after.”

Su Ji: “…”

Pei Huai didn’t ask her if she wanted to try it. Instead, he asked her where she wanted to do it.

This helped Su Ji avoid rejecting him. Su Ji felt a little hot and pulled her hair back. When Pei Huai asked her a second time, she replied, “I don’t want to go out.”

Pei Huai said, “alright, I’ll go to your house then.”
