Du Meilan laughed….
Later, Su Ji was in Pei Huai’s car. After a while, she felt as if she could still hear Madam Du’s demonic laughter.
When Pei Huai’s car stopped in the Xu family’s courtyard, Aunt Wu was standing by the fence with Uncle He next door, whispering.
Xu Mingzhi went to work and had not returned yet.
When she came back today, the neighborhood was quiet. There was not a single paparazzi, and there were security guards patrolling from time to time.
Fortunately, that was the case. Otherwise, Aunt Wu and Uncle He’s relationship would have been exposed!
Su Ji could not hear what they were whispering, but…both of their faces were red.
Pei Huai wanted to get out of the car, but Su Ji held his hand.
Pei Huai’s heart skipped a beat. He looked sideways at her, thinking that she wanted to spend more time with him in the car.
In the next second, Su Ji pushed his hand down and looked out the window.
“Wait, they are going to hold hands.”
Pei Huai:
He expressionlessly pulled his hand back and put it on the steering wheel.
Although he was unhappy, he still listened to her and waited.
On Aunt Wu’s side, Uncle He touched the back of his neck. There was a smile on his face, but the corners of his mouth could not be lowered.
His thin and bony shoulders were touching Aunt Wu’s chubby and round shoulders. She was so shy that she did not dare to look up at him, nor did she dare to look down at the distance between their hands.
She shook her hand to look for his hand, but because they did not dare to look at each other, their hands kept moving apart and could not find each other. Su Yi was anxious.
After a while, their hands finally touched. Uncle He’s palms were sweaty, and he hesitated to hold Aunt Wu’s chubby hand.
Aunt Wu wanted to pull away because she was shy, but at the same time, she didn’t want to, so she stayed still.
“Beep-
At this moment, a loud honk sounded from behind.
Xu Mingzhi, who had just returned home, stopped behind Pei Huai’s car. She was happy to see that her daughter had returned, so she honked.
Aunt Wu shyly shook off Uncle He’s hand and ran into the house with her face covered. Uncle He didn’t even realize what was going on. He spun around as she pulled away. When he stopped, he was left alone in the small garden. His palm was empty, but it smelled good. It was the fragrance of all kinds of cleaning products. It was the unique fragrance of Aunt Wu’s hands.
“Aunty.”
“Mom.”
Pei Huai and Su Ji got out of the car.
Su Yi looked at the direction that Aunt Wu had run off to and joked, “mom, your honk has ruined the atmosphere.”
Xu Mingzhi was focused on her daughter and did not notice anything else. Thinking that Su Ji was talking about her and Pei Huai, she smiled in annoyance. “I’m already going easy on you by not picking you up last night.”
Xu Mingzhi bought some ingredients and asked Wei Wei to bring them in. “Do you want to stay and eat with us too?”
Before Pei Huai could say the word “okay” , Xu Mingzhi quickly added, “or if you have something to do, vou can go ahead.”
Pei Huai laughed silently. “Alright, I won’t disturb you guys then.”
He remembered that he had not prepared Pei Yuanyang’s dinner yet. After saying that, he didn’t stay for long. After sending the two of them in, he drove away.
In order to let Pei Yuanyang live past 100 years old, he decided to personally prepare her food every day.
In the house, Xu Mingzhi went into the kitchen to wash the fruits. Su Ji wanted to help but was “chased out”.
Aunt Wu was preparing dinner at the side. Her pounding heart had yet to calm down. At this moment, her hands were working especially fast, and the dishcloth was about to fly away.
Su Ji didn’t add to the trouble. She took out her phone and sat at the dining table near the kitchen.
She casually scrolled through the latest news.
As her mother and Pei Huai had gone to State M, the news on her phone was all about State M.
Xu Mingzhi washed the lychees one by one, removed the stems, and peeled them. “Baby, did the Pei family mention the duke in State M to you?”
Su Ji scrolled through the headlines one by one, saving his mother at least ten sentences. “You’re talking about Anna?” “I know. Aunt Du told me about her.”
“She’ll be staying at the Pei family’s house.”
The sound of flowing water stopped. Xu Mingzhi leaned back and poked half of her body out of the kitchen. “She’s staying with the Pei family?”
Su Ji nodded. At the same time, she noticed a news headline that piqued her interest.
[ “The eldest son of the duke went to Continent O to receive an award. The duke sent him off at the airport.” ]
They must have notified the media in advance, so it was filmed very formally.
He was in a high position, but he didn’t do anything special. He had to go through the same registration procedures as ordinary people and queue up to get a visa.
The comments section below was filled with praise.
Su Ji took a sip of water, put down her gla.s.s, and clicked on the news.
“Your boyfriend made Anna cry at the party that day.”
Su Ji scrolled through the photos in the news. “That’s not right, he should have made her laugh.”
Xu Mingzhi looked at her daughter and sneered. “You didn’t see how heartbreaking that little girl looked when she cried.”
“Oh,” Su Ji replied. “Is she my type?””
Her fingers continued to scroll down.
Xu Mingzhi was amused. She turned back and continued peeling the lychee.
“Nonsense.”
Meanwhile, Su Ji finally found a photo of the duke’s entire family.
She moved her gaze away from Miyazawa Ta, who was at the boarding gate, and glanced at the woman in the photo who looked very beautiful. She had black hair, fair skin, and red lips. It was the famous d.u.c.h.ess of State M, Miyazawa Rei.
The man beside her was the duke. The woman looked in the direction of the boarding gate, and her eyes revealed a genuine unwillingness to part with her son.
Next to her, standing in a corner, was a girl with light golden hair that reached her waist. She was Anna, who was as pure and cute as a royal princess…
Su Ji slowly took the cup with her other hand.
No way…
She really seemed to be her type…
“There must be a hidden motive for the duke to send Anna to China. As for when she will come, you can ask her when you have the chance.” Xu Mingzhi came out of the kitchen with the peeled lychees. She picked one up and stuffed it into her precious daughter’s red cherry-like mouth.
“Sure.” This time, Su Ji was serious.
They should become friends first!
(Pei Huai: I didn’t expect this…)
