Chapter 507: It’s Gone!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The results of the calligraphy competition were announced the next morning.
It was a Saturday.
There were only ten people in the country who could successfully enter the finals, and each of them was extremely talented in calligraphy.
Among Su Jit s disciples, other than Zhu Mingzhang, there were four others who had successfully entered the finals. However, they were all ranked in the bottom half. Zhu Mingzhang was the only one at the top half. Next to his name was “Helping My Wife Win”.
As expected.
When Su Ji saw the news, she was sitting in Pei Huai’s car.
Du Meilan asked Pei Huai to bring her back to the Pei family for dinner today.
Su Ji turned off the screen and suddenly thought of something. She turned to
Pei Huai and asked, “is Anna here?”
Pei Huai only found out a few days ago that Anna was going back to China and was going to stay at their house for a few days.
When he first found out, he guessed that Su Ji had suddenly asked for a video call that day because she had heard about Anna. However, after seeing Su Ji’s reaction every time she mentioned Anna, it did not seem like she was jealous. Instead…she seemed to be looking forward to it…
It was as if the person who was close to Anna ten years ago was her. Her attitude made Pei Huai feel an inexplicable sense of danger.
“No.” He placed one hand on the steering wheel.
“Oh…” Su Ji leaned back in her seat. “Then why did your mother suddenly invite me to dinner?”
She thought that Anna was here, so she made such an arrangement.
At the mention of this, Pei Huai looked at her with a faint smile.
What else could it be?
Yesterday, Du Meilan saw Su Ji so tired that she fell asleep while live streaming. When Pei Huai returned home , she stopped him in the living room and reprimanded him.
He returned to the Pei family home after sending Su Ji home. It was already 1 o’clock in the morning, and the living room was dark. As soon as he entered the house, the living room suddenly lit up. He saw that Du Meilan was still awake.
Du Meilan walked towards him. She reached out and hit him on the shoulder. “We are not short of money or power. Are you still human if you tire your girlfriend out and make her fall asleep while live streaming?”
This time, Pei Huai really could not find anything to refute. He also felt that he was not human, but his girlfriend did not give him the chance to be human.
Madam Du was really angry this time. She ordered him to bring Su Ji home for dinner tomorrow. If he couldn’t do it, she would fight for Pei Yuanyang’s custody.
Pei Huai did not answer Su Ji’s question but said something else instead. “I’ve already told the partners that they should hire professional streamers. In the future, you don’t have to do it yourself.”
Su Ji raised her eyebrows slightly. “Then I’ll just sit back and wait for the money to come to me?”
He reached out and pinched her chin. “Yes, the patent is yours. You just have to wait for the money.”
As soon as Su Ji arrived at the Pei family’s house, Du Meilan pulled her aside to talk. She ignored Pei Huai, so he went back to his study. He opened the drawers on his desk one by one to look for something, the stone lion that Su Ji had given her bestie.
It was not in any of the drawers.
When he opened the safe, there was an admission ticket to last year’s Devil Concubine Mausoleum themed museum and a portrait of him in an ancient outfit.
It was the first birthday present Su Ji had given him, and the admission ticket to the museum was the first place he had bumped into Su Ji other than his grandfather’s birthday.
There were stone lions.
Pei Huai’s thick eyebrows furrowed. ‘
He had a good memory. He could read contracts and documents at a glance, but he couldn’t remember where the stone lion was.
Since he said that he would take a photo for Su Ji, he had to do it sooner or later.
If he didn’t, Su Ji might not ask, but she would definitely be disappointed.
He couldn’t disappoint her.
Meanwhile, Su Ji chatted with Du Meilan and Pei Qingshen for a while.
When they talked about Anna’s arrival in a few days, Pei Qingshen revealed a rare tone of fondness. “I actually don’t really appreciate the looks of foreigners, but I’ve seen Anna when she was young. The little girl is indeed very cute. If she looked like a little angel back then, I wonder what she looks like now.”
“She is pretty,” Su Ji replied. Du Mei Lan blinked. “You’ve seen her?”
“I saw a photo on the news two days ago.”
Her phone rang. Su Ji took a look and saw that it was Pan Lian.
She thought that she was going to talk about yesterday’s livestream, but it turned out that she wasn’t
[ Pan Lian: “Let me ask you something.” ]
[ Pan Lian: “Did something happen between Ms. Pei Xi and my idol?” ]
It was only when Su Ji saw her question that she remembered that she had not seen Pei Xi and the others since she came here today.
“Are Pei Xi and Bill here today?”
Du Meilan searched for news about Anna on her phone. She smiled. “They went to the newbie’s parenting class. They’re eating out and won’t be coming back.” Su Ji was silent. “Was there anything strange about them?”
Du Meilan shifted her gaze away from the phone and looked at her. “No, they were talking and laughing. Why do you ask?” “Ah,” Su Ji replied. “No, I was just asking.”
Then, she replied to Pan Lian.
[ Pan Lian: “Oh, then I’m probably overthinking it. Today, my idol asked me to help him test Ms. Pei Xi. I thought something was up. Sigh, I was happy for nothing. But then again, my idol is a world-class male celebrity. How could he not be confident in his relationship?” ]
Su Ji replied with two emojis.
Later, when it was almost lunchtime, Du Meilan asked Su Ji to call Pei Huai.
When she found Pei Huai, he was in his room.
Su Ji stood at the door of the room and did not take a step in.
The room, which was usuallv clean and tidv like a model room. looked like it had been robbed.
The closet door was open and the drawers were pulled out. The storage boxes under the bed were all outside.
Pei Yuanyang found a drawer of a suitable size and slept in it.
“Kaka!”
After a long silence, Su Ji thought of the only possibility. “Xingxing snuck into your room?”
Pei Huai turned around and saw her. He closed the drawer beside him calmly and slowly rolled down his sleeves that were rolled up to his elbows. “No, I’m just looking for something.”
“What’s so important?”
Pei Huai replied, “it’s not important. I’m just looking around.”
Su Ji looked at the chaos in the room.
Wasn’t it important if someone with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder turned the room upside down??
