Xu Mingzhi’s expression changed in a second. He turned around with a smile and took the thing that the little guy had extended in front of her. “What is it, Xingxing?”
Pei Xingxing was very filial to Xu Mingzhi when she was living with the Pei family.
He would address Xu Mingzhi as grandma according to his younger sister’s seniority and would come to talk to Xu Mingzhi from time to time.
It could be said that something that Pei Song had never gotten since he had his son, Xu Mingzhi had gotten it easily.
Pei Xingxing replied in a childish voice, “it’s a safety talisman! It can bless your safety and health!”
Ever since the talisman he had asked for the last time had helped Su Ji successfully give birth to the baby, he and Si Jingbin had become the youngest but most generous devotees of the temple!
Every now and then, he would go to pray and buy some things.
Xu Mingzhi looked at the small Peace Talisman in her hand. It was hand-embroidered and wrapped with gold thread. The word “Peace” in the middle of the talisman seemed to have a calming power.
Xu Mingzhi said, “thank you, Xingxing. I like it very much.”
Pei Xingxing kissed Xu Mingzhi on the cheek, picked up his bag strap, and ran away quickly.
Xu Mingzhi could not help but laugh as he left in a hurry. She put the amulet into her coat pocket and patted it outside.
She cherished it very much.
Pei Xingxing ran all the way back to his room before stopping. The tips of his ears were red.
Xu Mingzhi’s body had a fragrance similar to that of Su Ji, causing him to blush and his heart to race every time he got close to her!
He used his small hand to press on his heart to calm himself down. Then, he pulled his school bag in front of him and took out a small notebook.
He opened the marked page. On it was the date and two to-do items for the day.
Make Grandma Xu smile.
Make Grandma Xu smile.
He marked the numbers at the back and then closed the small notebook in satisfaction.
This was the mission that Su Ji had given him. Every day, he would be given two little stars when he completed the mission. When he had acc.u.mulated ten little stars, he would be able to hug his little sister!
The servant in charge of the outer courtyard entered the living room and found the old butler. She whispered something into his ear.
The old butler nodded and handed the task at hand to Uncle He and Slav. He then went straight to the gate.
Outside the door, Su Cunyi was waiting with a box of pastries in his hand.
“Mr. Su,” the old butler greeted politely.
Su Cunyi also nodded.
However, this was all they could do. Su Cunyi knew that without his daughter’s permission, the butler would not invite him in.
He had already hit the wall several times before.
Now that he saw the butler’s apologetic and awkward expression, he nodded in understanding and said, as elegant as ever, “don’t worry. I’m just here to deliver something. I know that my daughter likes the pastries here, so please help me pa.s.s them on.”
Hearing him say this, the butler felt much more relaxed.
“Mr. Su, you’re so thoughtful. Third Madam will definitely be very happy to see you.” The person who said it and the person who heard it did not believe it, but Su Cunyi still thanked him politely.
He handed over the pastry box in his hand, and the butler reached out to take it.
However, just as the butler was about to catch the box, Su Cunyi loosened his grip and the entire box of pastries fell to the ground. The box that was not tightly closed was thrown open, and all the exquisite pastries rolled out.
The butler bent down to pick it up in fear. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Su. I didn’t catch it properly.”
“It’s alright. Please help me pick it up. I still have something to do, so I’ll be leaving first!!” Su Cunyi’s reply was so smooth that it was as if he had prepared it in advance!
“Uh…” The butler picked up the last one at a faster speed. He closed the lid and stood up, but Su Cunyi, who was standing in front of him just now, was gone!
The butler couldn’t tell what was strange about it, but he realized that he didn’t hear the car leaving.
He looked around and did not see his car parked nearby.
Did Mr. Su not drive here today?
He turned around and entered the house. The door beside him that was slightly opened also revealed a trace of strangeness.
The butler scratched his head and noticed the pastry box in his hand. He went back to his room to report.
At the same time, Su Cunyi, who had already sneaked into the Pei family’s old mansion, quickly took out his sungla.s.ses and mask from his pocket and put them on. He avoided the Pei family’s servants and sneakily ran to the backyard where Xu Mingzhi lived!
