However, during this period of time… From time to time, he could still remember his wife’s cat-ear outfit that day.

He knew that she had been troubled by Madam Xu’s matter recently and was not in the mood to think about anything else. He would not force her to do anything at a time like this, but…

Indeed, he was not a beast. It was mainly because of the strong medicine that she gave him…

It was really difficult for him not to have such thoughts…

Five days later, it was the day that Mr. Lauren came to do a check-up for Pei Huai.

The location of the check-up was still in the study room of the apartment. Aunt Gong had prepared tea early, and Su Ji and Pei Huai were waiting in the apartment.

After leaving the bustling Pei family’s old mansion and returning to the apartment, it felt much quieter.

The check-up time was about 9 o’clock. At 8:50 p. m., the sound of the elevator rang out on time.

When Mr. Lauren and his a.s.sistants arrived, Aunt Gong politely led them into the study.

“Third Young Mistress, they are here.” Aunt Gong withdrew from the study and turned around to report to Su Ji, who was standing outside the door.

Su Ji nodded and took the tea tray from her.

“Maybe I should…”

She reached out her hand, but Su Ji did not respond. She nimbly walked around and knocked on the door before entering the house. “Aunt Gong, go do something else. I’ll take care of this.”

She took a step back and closed the door behind Aunt Gong.

It was not appropriate for her to be there.

Although Aunt Gong raised Pei Huai, Su Ji still felt that she should help her husband maintain some mystery.

Aunt Gong still didn’t know what illness Mr. Lauren was treating.

Su Ji’s actions were smooth and natural. Aunt Gong scratched her head in confusion at the door that was immediately closed in front of her.

“Madam Pei.”

“h.e.l.lo, Madam Pei.”

In the house, the two a.s.sistants standing next to Mr. Lauren were the same as previous times. This time, they successfully stayed at the scene of the investigation. Pei Huai sat opposite them, his gaze following his wife.

Su Ji smiled. “Just pretend I’m not here.”

Other than her mother’s health, her husband’s inflammation was also on her list of recent concerns.

After all, the inflammation was caused by her, so she felt that she was responsible.

If he didn’t come, he wouldn’t feel at ease, but now that he came, he felt a little awkward.

It seemed that they were about to start. Su Ji saw that there were a few books on the bookshelf opposite her that she had not put back, so she went over to clean them up.

She clearly did not like to do housework. From the time Pei Huai knew her until now, he had seen her clean the house zero times.

But she couldn’t find a better way to avoid suspicion.

She had her back facing her husband the entire time, although Pei Huai did not need her to do that.

In a few minutes, under her clean and neat movements, the bookshelves that were originally divided into categories…finally became chaotic!

Mr. Lauren:

The a.s.sistants:

Only Pei Huai was still doting. His dark eyes seemed to be saying, “look, my wife is really cute.”

However, Mr. Lauren and the others did not dare to look anymore. They retracted their gazes. Mr. Lauren coughed and the examination officially began!

Mr. Lauren and the a.s.sistants began to study the inflamed area. Pei Huai leaned his forehead on his hand, his attention focused on his wife.

This was the first time he had seen Su Ji doing housework. At this moment, she was wearing a white ap.r.o.n that she had gotten from somewhere.

Pei Huai sized her up with interest. He did not expect that it belonged to Aunt Gong.

On the contrary, he was very sure that he had never seen that ap.r.o.n before.

Because the feeling of wearing it was completely different.

On his wife, it was a very interesting uniform…

Su Ji tidied up the few books that had been emptied and placed them on the bookshelf.

She stood on her tiptoes and her slender legs tensed up. As she raised her arms, her clothes were lifted up, revealing her fair skin. The white ap.r.o.n was very thin, and she tied it tightly, barely wrapping it around her waist.

Her waist was beautiful.

Pei Huai’s brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze turned deep.

On the other side…Mr. Lauren, who was checking carefully, suddenly froze. As his eyes gradually widened, his mouth also opened into an exaggerated ‘O’ shape.

Together with his two a.s.sistants, the three of them moved their gazes upwards in unison.

“M-Mister Pei…” Mr. Lauren found his voice after a long time.

Following his strange tone, Pei Huai’s gaze drooped and his face darkened.

“Wait a minute.” He calmly picked up the blanket beside him and covered himself with it. “Let me take a break.”

He had to calm down…

On the left and right, the two a.s.sistants, who had definitely made a worthwhile trip: “!!!”
