Chapter 528: She Lost

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Delayed gratification brings the greatest satisfaction.

From the moment he saw the faint black color on her shoulder this morning, Pei Huai had been controlling himself.

After that, it was a long and boring social gathering, busy work, and uninteresting lunch.

After sending off Officer Wang’s family, he went to the Four Seasons Club to attend a social gathering.

After returning, Madam Du was the last stage.

The lingerie was imprinted in his mind. It was a very aggressive-looking black lingerie with double hooks. It would probably be a little difficult to untie it… Her hair was tangled in his shirt collar, and her thin shoulders were held in his hand.

Su Ji was quite obedient today.

Especially when she found out that the deal had failed and that he had even quarreled with Madam Du because of this.

She accidentally scratched the side of his neck. At that time, she couldn’t tell, but it started to turn red later.

Pei Huai carried Su Ji up with her back against the door.

After being elevated, Su Ji’s field of vision became much wider.

Anna had not recovered from the scene just now. Her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and she forgot to escape.

Su Ji looked at her.

Shit!

Immediately after, Pei Huai also turned his head. Anna’s pale face met his bloodshot eyes.

Anna had never been so flustered in her life. She turned around and ran downstairs.

As he ran, she heard Su Ji grumbling, “I told you to come in.”

Pei Huai did not reply to her, but the sound of the door opening and closing could be heard.

Anna ran back downstairs, and her voice startled Pei Yuanyang, waking her up from her beautiful dream. It squeaked a few times, and Anna fled in panic. She almost fell back onto the long fur carpet beside the coffee table. She picked up a cup of tea that the servant had just served and drank it.

“Miss Anna, be careful, it’s hot!” The servant reminded her in surprise.

Anna had finished drinking. She shook her head to show that she was fine.

Her face was red as if she had a fever.

There was a moment when she wondered if what she did just now just ruined the mood for them.

However, she soon realized that she was overthinking.

They stayed upstairs for a long time and did not come out.

In her ten-year-long crush, Anna thought that Pei Huai was the kind who would ask if it was okay before holding hands. Even a peck could make his future wife feel shy.

However, when Pei Huai saw her just now, she realized how wrong she was.

That was the Pei Huai she had never Imown.

She used to be infatuated with his calmness and patience, but now, his impatience towards Su Ji made her really jealous.

At that moment, she knew that she had lost.

Her father had tried everything to send her to the Pei family, but in the end, it was all in vain…

The sound of running water came from the bathroom.

Pei Huai was sitting by the bed. His back was slightly bent, and his elbows were on his knees. He was waiting in line to take a shower.

He suggested that he shower with Su Ji, but Su Ji kicked his knee.

However, he was really a germaphobe. It was uncomfortable for him, but he did not dare to say it. He could only wait obediently.

He picked up a piece of clothing from the ground and took out a small thing wrapped in plastic from his pocket. Then, he found his car keys and took the thing out of the wrapping paper.

Su Ji’s voice was heard through the running water. “Then what do you plan to do about the project? That’s it?”

Pei Huai hooked the thing that did not suit his image as a CEO on the car key. He replied calmly, “there are other ways.”

The sound of running water suddenly stopped. A few seconds later, the bathroom door was opened from the inside. Su Ji was in the middle of showering when she stood in front of him and questioned him, “you already thought of a way?”

Pei Huai looked at her and his eyelids twitched slightly. In a flash, he told the truth. “Yes.”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Su Ji was afraid that he would be disappointed, so she said a lot of things that he wanted her to say!

She was furious. Without thinking, she rushed out and pounced on him.

Pei Huai fell on his back on the bed, holding her arm that was still dripping, afraid that she would fall.

Su Ji wanted to punch him, but he said hoarsely, “don’t be like this. I just calmed down.”

Su Ji:

She looked at herself and snapped out of her daze. She bounced off his body as if she had been electrocuted.

She returned to the bathroom almost at the speed of a flash. The door was not closed properly, and she stuck her head out again. “There’s one more thing.

Don’t you think I…”

Su Ji glanced at the black thing that was thrown on the carpet beside the bed.

Pei Huai turned back and laughed softly, knowing the answer. “What?”

Su Yi pursed her lips. “Forget it.”

She slammed the door shut, and the sound of water flowing could be heard again.

It was taken off not long after it started. He probably did not notice it at all.

Pei Huai curled his lips in a sly manner. He attached the keychain to the car key and held it in his hand to admire it.

It was a keychain.

It was a cartoon version of Su Ji from The Billions of Stars.

When he came out of the clubhouse, he saw someone selling it, so he bought it.

At the same time, in Lychee TV’s building, Dong Xiyou had been looking for an opportunity to let Su Ji and her master meet naturally.

After handing in the proposal for the day, she happened to bump into Liu in the corridor.

It was Liu, who had told her about the camera.

Liu was a know-it-all in the Planning Department. At the same time, he was not very tight-lipped and did not have much vigilance. Especially when it came to a newbie like Dong Xiyou who looked very cute, he almost answered whatever was asked.

Dong Xiyou tried her best to sound natural, “what has Master been busy with recently?”

He smiled amiably when he saw her. “Don’t bother your master for the time being. He’s not in the mood recently.”

Dong Xiyou nodded. “Now that the show has been suspended, and the lawsuit has not been officially concluded, he definitely isn’t in the mood to think about anything else.”

“Sigh, it’s not all because of this.” He waved his hand hesitantly.

“Ah?” Dong Xiyou blinked innocently. “Is there anything else?”

He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He led Dong Xiyou to a place with fewer people.

“Don’t tell anyone else.”

Dong Xiyou replied, “I will definitely keep it a secret!”

He nodded and said mysteriously, “your master’s ex-wife seems to have returned to the country recently…”

“I overheard him talking to a woman on the phone that day. It was calm at first, but for some reason, they suddenly started arguing. He didn’t put it on speaker, but the woman’s hysterical voice on the phone could be heard. It’s just that she was speaking in a foreign language, so I don’t understand…”

PS: Guess who Zhou Zicheng’s ex-wife is?
