Chapter 523: Second Master Pei: “I’m Pursuing Her.”
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Her slightly cold fingertips rested on Anna’s arm.
Su Ji focused on taking her pulse, but Anna could not.
Her gaze moved away from her left arm, which was covered by her clothes, and landed on Su Ji’s fair and flawless arm (she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt today). A few seconds later, she seemed to have thought of something and looked up at Pei Huai. Pei Huai was indeed looking at Su Ji.
He did not notice her at all.
“You…” Su Ji retracted her hand and said calmly, “you dislike cold and like warmth, low body temperature, pale lips and tongue. You’re easily frightened and have a weak stomach, weak energy..
Anna collected her thoughts. “Yes…”
She was stunned. She felt that Su Ji was not treating a patient, but rather fortune-telling.
Su Ji nodded. “I’ll prescribe you some medicine. Drink the first one after lunch today.”
Anna: ‘
So fast?
The butler quickly went forward and took out a notebook from somewhere to write down the prescription.
“Anna is healthier than when she was young.”
“Su Ji’s medical skills are very good. If you follow her prescription, you’ll definitely get better.”
“By the way, who was the doctor that the duke originally hired to treat you?” Pei Qingshen asked with concern. Anna paused.
Pei Qingshen thought that she didn’t understand. “I know the medical experts and professors in the country. I can help you check.”
Anna was a little embarrassed.
The decision to let her come to China was very hasty, and her father did not mention anything about a doctor to her.
Du Meilan understood. She didn’t really send her daughter to China to see a doctor.
The surroundings fell silent for a moment. Everyone looked at Anna awkwardly.
In the end, Du Meilan coughed lightly and asked if Officer Wang had any dietary restrictions before changing the topic.
Du Meilan had ordered 20 dishes for lunch today, so it was taking a while to prepare.
The guests were all in the living room.
Officer Wang and Pei Qingshen found Su Ji at the same time.
One of them was holding a notebook in his hand, while the other was holding a lute.
The two of them noticed each other halfway and looked at each other with sparks in their eyes.
Not far away from them, Su Ji, who was walking in the living room with her hands in her pockets, narrowed her eyes.
She seemed to have sensed something and was looking for an opportunity to leave, but Officer Wang was more agile since he was in the army. He flashed in front of Su Ji first. “Su Ji, are you interested in the art of war? I have recently learned something new from Sun Tzu’s Art of War. Do you want to discuss it with me?”
Then, Pei Qingshen hugged his lute and pushed Officer Wang to the side. “Why are you discussing the art of war with her? Su Ji loves playing the lute. Su Ji, why don’t you play a song for me?”
Su Ji’s gaze wandered between the notebook and the lute for a few seconds. “I..
“Playing the lute is a waste of time,” Officer Wang said directly. “The peasant girl doesn’t know the pain of losing her country, she still sings amidst the flowers in the field across the river…
However, halfway through his words, he noticed Cao Zhuzhu’s gaze. Pei Song was also looking at him.
Officer Wang choked and put on the professional smile, “ah, I don’t mean that. I’m not targeting the lute association. I’m targeting Old Master Pei.”
“Don’t be like this when you’re a guest at someone else’s house.” Wang Yi rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Officer Wang got angry when he heard this.
Old Master Pei was clearly the unreasonable one, but his grandson always sided with outsiders. Every time they quarreled, he would say that he was in the wrong. Could it be that this brat wanted to be Old Master Pei’s grandson???
Pei Qingshen sneered and wiped his lute with confidence. “We’ll let Su Ji choose. Su Ji, what are you interested in?”
Su Ji was silent for a few seconds. Since she was allowed to choose…
She looked at Officer Wang. “Grandpa Wang, I want to hear your new insights on the art of war.”
Pei Qingshen suddenly raised his head and looked wronged. “???”
Although Su Ji was good at playing the lute, it was not her hobby. Of course, she preferred to study the art of war.
Pei Huai only retracted his gaze when Su Ji was brought to the rattan chair and tea table on the balcony by Officer Wang.
“Your girlfriend is really popular.” Wang Yi sat on the arm of the armchair that Pei Huai was sitting on, his back facing him.
He did not get a reply. He turned around and realized that Pei Huai’s cold gaze was glancing at him, as well as his butt.
“Ah, sorry.” Wang Yi stood up as if he had been electrocuted. Pei Huai retracted his gaze and looked back at the contract in his hand.
Wang Yi nodded calmly.
The eldest daughter, Pei Xi, liked strong men.
The eldest son, Pei Song, was sloppy.
The youngest son, Pei Huai, was fastidious about cleanliness.
Madam Du’s three children were all adults. They had different personalities and were not easy to get along with.
Wang Yi planned to build a good relationship with the three children from now on!
Pei Qingshen had been abandoned by his future granddaughter-in-law. He returned to Cao Zhuzhu with the lute in his arms. He did not look too good.
Pei Song sat not far away from Cao Zhuzhu, holding a medical record in his hand. His elbows were resting on his knees, and his forehead was propped up. His thin lenses reflected light.
He didn’t look at Cao Zhuzhu, nor did he speak to her. He just stayed by her side.
He was indifferent to his surroundings, except whe Officer Wang dissed the lute.
Cao Zhuzhu had already repaired the lute. She was very skilled, so Old Master Pei did not have to get a new one.
She was currently tuning.
Pei Qingshen looked at his second grandson and sat down beside him.
Cao Zhuzhu paused for a moment.
Pei Qingshen gave his second grandson a look. “Which stage are you at now?”
Pei Song caressed the tip of his nose, and he smiled, “what do you mean?”
“Don’t ask when you already know the answer. Pei Qingshen narrowed his eyes, looking as if he had seen through him. “Which stage are you at now with Zhuzhu?”
Cao Zhuzhu’s palms were sweating when she heard their soft conversation.
She wondered if she should find an excuse to leave, or pretend not to hear. She chose the latter.
Pei Song should be able to avoid the conversation.
She was convinced of this, but in the next second, she heard Pei Song laugh softly. “I’m pursuing her.”
Cao Zhuzhu’s hand that was pressing on the string suddenly played an off-key note. She forced herself to stay calm so that she did not make a sound.
Her entire body felt as if it had shed 800 layers of skin, and her head was buzzing.
Was he crazy?
When did that happen?
Why didn’t she know?
Luring her to spend the night in his apartment, this was called pursuing her??
He really didn’t know that she could hear him and dared to say anything.
“Really?” Pei Qingshen did not expect to hear such a straightforward answer. He chuckled and was in a good mood.
However, Pei Song did not look at his grandfather, His gaze fell on Cao Zhuzhu and her almost pink earlobes.
He knew that she could hear what he said.
He wanted her to hear it…
