Chapter 651: Then I’ll Leave?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The chain was very thin and had a good texture. It was short and looked quite fashionable on the young master’s neck.
When he took out the chain with both hands, the pendant popped out and swayed between the chains. It was very shiny and eye-catching.
It was a ring.
Sonya had the other one, but this one was better preserved than Sonya’s. Pei Song would send it for maintenance regularly.
Su Ji fed Pei Xingxing another bite of the cake. While he was engrossed in tl deliciousness of the cake, she picked up the ring with her other hand and turned it slightly under the light.
She knew what a ring meant to modern people.
“Your father gave it to you?” she asked.
Pei Xingxing said cheerfully, “I asked dad to give it to me!”
Su Ji looked at him and waited for him to continue.
Pei Xingxing explained, “this is mom’s stuff. I’ll keep it from now on! What if Ms. Zhuzhu gets jealous when she sees it?”
A three-year-old child was worried about his single father.
After saying that, he stuffed the necklace back into his clothes and patted it. He cherished it very much.
Su Ji stared at him.
Her heart softened like a pool of water.
For some reason, she suddenly said, “just be my son.”
Then, this sentence was coincidentally heard by the elders of several families.
Moreover…it was as if they had misunderstood something…
Wen Man smiled gently. “Aiya, I didn’t know that Su Ji like children so much.” Xu Mingzhi: “…”
“Well…” Wen Man exchanged glances with Madam Du, who was sitting opposite her. “Su Ji has reached the age where she likes children.”
Xu Mingzhi:
Du Meilan cut into the topic at the right time, patted Xu Mingzhi’s hand, and said sincerely, “now that Su Ji has graduated, it is time to consider marriage.”
Su Cunyi thought about it seriously. “You’re right. I think everyone is here today. Why don’t we…ah!”
He suddenly gripped the knife and fork in his hand tightly and screamed in pain. Under the table, there was a hole in his leather shoes. If it was not for the thick leather, it would have pierced his skin!
Du Meilan glanced at him and quickly withdrew her gaze.
Xu Mingzhi had a polite smile on her face. “I understand what you mean, but she just graduated today, so there’s no rush…”
She sighed in her heart. She could not keep her daughter anymore.
In the past, she really couldn’t bear to part with her. She felt uncomfortable when she thought about how she had to hand over her daughter to another man.
She had decided not to let her daughter leave before she turned thirty.
However, during this period of time, her future son-in-law had been getting a lot of people to persuade her, and he often told her his thoughts, just like a
natural politician.
She was convinced bit by bit, and she slowly relented.
It was meaningless for her to stay for a few more years or less. Her daughter’s happiness was the most important.
Moreover, she never thought of abandoning her daughter just because she got married.
After thinking about it, she endured the pain and asked her daughter, “baby, what do you think about this?”
Su Ji glanced to the side. Pei Huai was typing on his phone. It seemed to be something important, so he did not pay attention to what the people around him were saying.
After driving to the hotel, he received a phone call and started working.
When Su Ji asked Pei Xingxing about the ring, Pei Huai looked at them for a while before continuing to type on his phone.
Su Ji tugged at her earlobe slowly. “I’m fine with anything.”
Xu Mingzhi:
In the second half of the meal, Pei Huai went out to answer the phone again.
About ten minutes later, Su Ji got up and went to the bathroom.
She came out of the bathroom and washed her hands at the sink outside.
The familiar deep voice drifted into her ears. “So, the earliest I can get it is middle of next month?”
“It won’t affect the quality.”
“Alright, thank you.”
Su Ji removed her hand, and the water stopped flowing automatically. She pulled a few thick tissues from the side and patted the water off her hand.
She leaned back and saw the man leaning against the wall.
Pei Huai also noticed her. He hung up the phone, straightened his body, and walked towards her. “Is the food to your liking?”
Su Ji said that it was pretty good, but he was actually not that hungry after eating Madam Du’s pancakes.
She glanced at her phone. “Is it about work?”
Pei Huai said, “it’s not about work, but it’s something important.”
Su Ji raised an eyebrow, not quite understanding what he meant. “If there’s anything I can help with, just say it.”
Pei Huai curled his lips into a smile, his eyes very gentle. “I do need your help in the later stages. I’ll let you know when the time comes.”
“Sure.” Su Ji nodded. When she wiped her hands, she had to wipe the bracelet separately. Water kept dripping in, but she could not take the bracelet off.
Everything else was fine, but she couldn’t take it off. Sometimes, it was really inconvenient.
She thought of something and stretched her hand out in front of Pei Huai. “This bracelet is yours. Try and see if you can take it off.”
Pei Huai brought her to a place with good lighting and put some foam on her palm. He held her palm with one hand and pulled down the bracelet with the other.
The bracelet was stuck on Su Ji’s wrist. He could have taken it off if it was just a little bit looser.
However, perhaps it was because of the foam, and Pei Huai’s strong grip was also one of the reasons. As he exerted force bit by bit, the bracelet did go down bit by bit.
Su Jit s wrist turned red. When Pei Huai saw it, he loosened his grip.
The bracelet slipped back, and all his efforts were in vain.
Su Ji frowned. “I felt like you could take it off just now. Why don’t we try again?
Pei Huai’s fingers massaged the red and swollen area. He sounded heartbroken. “It’s better not to take it off.”
“Why?”
Pei Huai looked at the jade bracelet that was emitting a strange luster. “If this bracelet was given to you by me, then it should be protecting you.”
Su Ji’s gaze slowly fell on the bracelet.
“You didn’t give it to me.”
At this moment, a woman’s bright and beautiful voice came out of the ladies’ washroom. Pei Xi did not know when she had arrived, but when she came out, she happened to hear her third brother shamelessly boasting that he was the one who gave her the bracelet.
She touched her bulging belly. “That was obviously a gift from me!”
Pei Huai: ‘
It was a long story, and she really couldn’t explain it to him.
An awkward atmosphere arose between the three of them.
Pei Xi glanced at her brother and Su Ji who were holding hands.
She realized that she had come out at the wrong time.
However, if she remained seated, her legs would go numb..
Pei Huai looked at Pei Xi and kindly reminded her. “I’ll chat with her for a while “Ah…then I’ll leave?”
