Chapter 491: Please Spy On Me
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Du Meilan was about to speak when Pei Xi interjected, “don’t listen to my mother. She’s too sensitive.”
As she spoke, she turned to look at Du Meilan. “Mom, do you think the duke likes Pei Huai? When Pei Huai was studying abroad in America, Anna had always been by his side, but how old was she at that time? She was just a little doll. The duke asked him to help take care of Anna because he knew medicine.”
“She was a little girl back then,” Du Meilan said clearly. “But you said that she’s already eighteen this year. Her coming-of-age ceremony was two months ago.
Why do you think the duke suddenly called me today?”
“Because…” Pei Xi pursed her lips slightly. “Because his and Su Ji’s relationship was exposed?”
Du Meilan looked at her silently.
Pei Xi said, “but Mom, no matter what the duke thinks, Pei Huai doesn’t like her. No matter how powerful the duke is in Continent M, it’s far from being able to control him. He can do whatever he wants. Don’t worry.”
Du Meilan nodded. “That’s true. Pei Huai is different from his father. I’ve been too sensitive recently.”
She liked Su Ji, so she would definitely not let Su Ji experience what she had experienced.
Anna, on the other hand, was like Ji Xi, though not exactly the same.
Anna’s mother passed away early. She had a stepmother and a stepbrother.
The duke’s current wife was a very beautiful asian woman. She was able to marry the duke and had him treat her son like his own meant that she must be remarkable.
With her stepmother and stepbrother around, one could imagine Anna’s life in the duke’s mansion. The duke doted on her, but he rarely spent time at home while she was sick all the time and had to stay in. Her personality became more and more introverted. When Pei Huai first went to Continent M to see her, she stuttered, but was treated by Pei Huai.
In any case, Du Meilan knew that the only girl who had appeared beside her son before Su Ji was Anna.
Besides, Anna was really attached to Pei Huai at that time.
Du Meilan had even mentioned that when Anna grew up and if Pei Huai still hadn’t found a girl he liked, she wanted to matchmake them.
Anna was only eight years old at that time…
Thinking of this, Du Meilan really felt that she was worrying too much.
Su Ji would probably laugh at her.
She looked at Su Ji. “Don’t mind me. Anna was only…”
Before she could say “eight years old”, her expression suddenly froze.
She thought that Su Ji would not care about such things at all. At this moment, she was holding a cup of tea in her hand, and her face was extremely gloomy.
She seemed to be smiling, but…her smile was very scary!
“You also said it was in the past.”
Su Yi said slowly, “but isn’t she eighteen now…”
“But…”
“Um…”
The teacup in Su Jits hand…was crushed into pieces!
The mother and daughter swallowed hard.
Anna was in Continent M, and Xu Mingzhi brought Pei Huai to Continent M.
Su Ji calmly threw the teacup fragments into the trash can. “I’m not hungry anymore.”
Madam Du and her daughter looked at each other and stood up.
Pei Xi said, “well, it’s not good to eat too much at night.”
Du Meilan: “Yes! Baby, you’re already very tired from spending time with Xingxing today. Rest early and don’t let your imagination run wild!”
“Good night, ” Su Ji said with a cold expression.
The two of them held each other and quickly left.
The moment they left Su Ji’s room, Pei Xi said, “mom, it’s all your fault. If you didn’t say anything, she wouldn’t be so angry!”
“I thought Su Ji wouldn’t care.”
When Pei Xi heard this, she pointed at her chin. “Indeed, it’s always Pei Huai taking the initiative. I also thought that she didn’t seem to be the kind who would be jealous.”
“It seems that she cares more about Pei Huai than she thought.”
Du Meilan said, “maybe she didn’t even realize it.”
“How about…” She thought for a moment, “I call Pei Huai to warn him first?”
Pei Xi said, “if you’re not afraid of him getting angry, then go ahead.”
‘ Du Meilan said, “then let’s just pretend that nothing happened…’
Pei Xi nodded. “I definitely won’t betray you.”
Du Meilan hugged her, “that’s my daughter.”
Good luck to Pei Huai!
Su Ji sat on the sofa for five minutes. The mosquitoes in the room had already left the scene.
She thought of Consort Lan from the harem. She was from the Western Regions and had blonde hair and blue eyes. Because she was weak and sick since she was young, she was loved by the tyrant. She was even lazier than her and lived a particularly comfortable life.
Pei Huai called her this afternoon. It had been eight hours since then.
She grabbed the phone that she had put aside and tapped the screen a few times.
[ “Are you there?” ]
He replied after a minute. “Yes, what’s wrong?”
[ “Let’s video call.” ]
This time, she replied quite quickly.
[ “Wait a minute, okay?” ]
Su Ji looked at the reply and smelled something suspicious.
Usually, she rarely waited a minute before Pei Huai replied, and now she had to wait longer for the video call?
[“I don’t want to wait.” ]
This time, the video call came in less than three seconds after she sent it.
A few seconds after Su Ji clicked accept, the screen connected.
The screen was filled with mist. At first, it was the rear camera. Pei Huai adjusted it a little before Su Ji could see him.
At this moment, his short black hair was wet. Water droplets slid down his clear jawline and down his body…
His shoulders were broad, his skin was fair, and his facial features were covered by the mist, making them look even more exquisite.
He was…showering.
That’s why it took him a minute to reply because he had to go out to get his phone.
He had just turned off the shower, and he could tell that there was an urgency.
His girlfriend suddenly wanted to video call him and said that she didn’t want to wait. He had to satisfy her.
Su Ji:
She did not expect to see this when the call connected, she suddenly felt a little hot.
She wanted to drink a cup of tea to quench her thirst, but then she remembered that she had just crushed the teacup.
She calculated that it was still daytime in Continent M. “Why are you taking a shower during the day?”
He noticed the light behind her and it was pink.
Pei Huai narrowed his eyes as if he knew something.
Although he didn’t know the reason, he liked the way she suddenly appeared. He replied calmly, “your boyfriend is a germaphobe.”
With that, he turned on the shower again and reduced the volume of the water. He showered in front of her.
He did it on purpose.
Su Ji’s face was burning hot.
“I’ll call you later.”
“Don’t hang up.” Pei Huai did not allow it. “Let’s video call like this.”
Su Ji felt frustrated that her thoughts had been seen through. “I don’t want to spy on you.”
“I want you to,” Pei Huai said.
Su Ji: ?
Pei Huai smiled.. “Please spy on me…”
