Chapter 863: Su Ji l s Surprise

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Since Su Ji was pregnant, neither Xu Mingzhi nor Pei Huai had the mood to work.

Normally, they would be workaholics.

When Shen Mu’s call came, Pei Huai’s phone on the coffee table vibrated and buzzed at a low frequency.

Pei Huai only took a glance and frowned. He hung up.

The system automatically replied with a message that had been set up beforehand, “I’m in a meeting, contact me later.”

After receiving the reply, Shen Mu was speechless.

If the CEO was really in a meeting, he wouldn’t have called!

He called to remind the CEO that there was a meeting today!

Xu Mingzhi was looking at the brands that specialized in the production of folate and docosauron for pregnant women. From the business qualification to the core technology chain of the industry, the inspection was as detailed as the inspection by the Quality Inspection Bureau.

Five minutes ago, she had even planned to open a brand in the Xu Corporation to produce maternal health products. She would control the source. This way she would definitely be a.s.sured of her own products. Fortunately, Wei Wei reminded her that it would take at least half a year to complete a mature industrial chain. By then, her baby would be in the third stage of pregnancy.

Pei Huai and Xu Mingzhi split the work. On his side, he paid more attention to Su Ji’s daily life, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

Su Ji was the only one left with serious matters on her mind. She was looking at her upcoming jobs.

The production team of “Qingqiu Tactics” sent the preliminary arrangements for the press conference.

This would be her most important job in the entertainment industry.

She was indeed very popular at the moment. She was very popular and many topics to talk about. The letters that came to her for jobs flew into Ren

Guanghua’s mailbox like Dieces of DaDer.

However, Su Ji was usually busy. She was not considered a full-time celebrity. She grew plants and sold medicine. She even had her own tobacco brand some time ago. Since she had limited capacity, she had to choose. Therefore, she only took on two types of jobs now. Either the pay had to be enough, or the invitation was by someone she had previously been on good terms with.

Su Ji chose based on how much she could earn if she spent the same amount of time selling medicine or doing other things.

This method was very reasonable. As the most astute merchant in the Great Shang, she had to calculate the time cost.

Ren Guanghua did not say anything after seeing the value. He was silent for three minutes and then swallowed three mouthfuls of saliva.

However, after that, the jobs that reached Su Ji became much simpler.

The actors who received the job had to reply to the group, so Su Ji replied with a voice message.

“You still want to attend the press conference?” Hearing her voice message, Xu Mingzhi put down her coffee. Pei Huai also looked at her.

Su Ji looked up and glanced at the expressions of the two people opposite her. She narrowed her eyes.

She had been very tolerant of them this morning.

Xu Mingzhi said, “baby.”

Pei Huai replied, “Su Ji.”

The two of them spoke at the same time, but Su Ji raised her hand to stop them.

“I have to go to this job,” Su Ji said without hesitation.

On the other hand, Pei Huai and Xu Mingzhi exchanged glances without batting an eyelid. In an instant, they had already thought of countless ways to cancel this press conference naturally, including, but not limited to, natural disasters and man-made disasters…

Su Ji knew what these two were capable of. She leaned back in her chair and said ruthlessly, “if you don’t let me go this time…” Xu Mingzhi asked, “what do you want?”

Pei Huai said, “be good.”

Su Ji did not listen. She smiled. “This will be my last pregnancy.”

As soon as she said that, the two people opposite her froze at the same time.

Aunt Wu, who had come to clean up the table and pick up the cutlery, also said, “huh?” She tilted her head.

From the sound of it…there might be a next time?

This wasn’t a threat, this was a surprise!

Aunt Wu looked at Madam and her future son-in-law with a joyful expression.

Xu Mingzhi was still serious a second ago , but now she was about to laugh. Pei Huai coughed with his fist against his lips.

Su Ji’s words were too harsh.

If she wanted to say something else, the two of them might not care, but this…

“Can I go now?” Su Ji asked them with raised eyebrows.

Pei Huai told her to be careful.

Xu Mingzhi agreed.

After breakfast, Su Ji said that she was going upstairs to make medicine, so Pei Huai followed her upstairs.

Xu Mingzhi watched as the two of them disappeared upstairs. A few seconds later, she heard the sound of the bedroom door closing. Then, she walked to the balcony and called Wei Wei.

“We should start preparing for maternal health products now.”

? Wei Wei said, “didn’t we just say…”

Xu Mingzhi heaved a sigh of relief. “It doesn’t matter if we can’t make it in time for this child. We might be able to make it in time for the second child!”

“Yes!” I’ll do it now!”

Upstairs, Su Ji was preparing the medicine. Pei Huai got a chair and sat beside her.

Su Ji glanced at Pei Huai. Pei Huai stared at her hand, which was moving around with the medicine roller. He frowned and took it. “I’ll help you.”

Before Su Ji could reply, the item in her hand was taken away.

“Alright, then be more meticulous.”

When she came back, she found that her precious cabinet had been robbed.

She had a cabinet full of treasures, all of which were top-notch medicinal herbs, but half of them had been emptied by that ingrate.

It was not an exaggeration to say that her blood pressure was high when she opened the cabinet for the first time after returning.

She had been busy making new medicine and replenishing the things in the cabinet for the past two days.

Pei Huai was very meticulous, and Su Ji was quite satisfied with it. Sometimes, she would instruct him, but he did it very well, better than she did herself.

Someone with OCD was very suitable for this job.

There was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Aunt Wu came in with a bowl of dessert. It was freshly cooked and had a sweet fragrance.

“Madam just bought it and said that she wanted to let you and Sir try it.”

Looking at the young miss and her fiance who was working hard for the young miss, Aunt Wu did not want to be a third wheel. After saying that, she put the things down.

Su Ji thanked her.

After Aunt Wu closed the door again, Pei Huai took the medicine in his hand and pushed it in front of her for her to check.

Su Ji took it, and Pei Huai suddenly said, “I’ll give it a name.”

“What?” He asked so suddenly that Su Ji was confused. “This medicine?” She knew that her fiancé liked to give names.

But this time, it was not the medicine. It was much more important than the medicine. Pei Huai said, “I’m talking about our child.”

Su Ji laughed at him. “I’ve never seen someone as impatient as you. We don’t even know if it’s a boy or a girl.”

Pei Huai said, “let’s start with a neutral nickname.”

“Oh…” Su Ji thought that was not a bad idea, so she dragged out the last syllable in response, and then…she suddenly thought of something!

They had already given their child a nickname!

It was also Pei Huai who gave it!

But….it was his love rival, Prince Huai from the previous life!
