Chapter 111 - 111 Unexpected Gift
111 Unexpected Gift
There was a long silence on the other end of the line.
As if he thought he heard it wrong, Pei Zicheng asked again suspiciously, “Are you already together?”
“We are.”
“You’re not lying to me?”
“Ask Pei Yilan if you don’t believe me.” Pei Zhi leaned back in his chair and drank the lemon water.
“Does she know that girl?”
“You know him too.”
Hearing Lin Jiao’s name, Pei Zicheng froze for a long time.
When he heard that Xue Taiyao wanted to introduce his daughter to Pei Zhi last night, he nodded and agreed without even asking for her basic information.
Who knew…
“Bring Jiaojiao back for a meal this week.” Pei Zicheng took a deep breath to calm himself down.
“Okay.” Pei Zhi hung up.
He went to pay the bill with Lin Jiao and hand in hand, they left the restaurant with Xue Jing.
The lights in the alley were as warm as the sun.
The two white cats played on the roof, occasionally letting out meows.
Xue Jing squeezed between them.
He looked up at the cat eyes that glowed green in the night. “Why are they meowing?”
“THey might not be feeling well.”
“Do they need to be hospitalized?”
“No need.” Lin Jiao made it up. “They can heal themselves. They’ll be fine in two days.”
“How do they heal themselves?”
“When the new season comes, they will recover.” Seeing that Lin Jiao was deep in thought, Pei Zhi helped her answer.
He pointed at the alley exit. “Do you remember my car?”
Xue Jing looked at the cars parked opposite. “I do.”
He followed them across the road and walked to the Mercedes first. He turned around with a grin.
Lin Jiao praised him and sat in the back seat with him.
“Jing, do you want to go home or go to my place?” She half opened the window to let air in.
“To your house.” Xue Jing looked at the window of a doll shop and suddenly thought of something.
He leaned forward and said to Pei Zhi more tactfully, “Brother-in-law, the doll shop opposite doesn’t have Boonie Bears.”
Pei Zhi thought for a moment and understood.
He stepped on the accelerator and looked at the young face in the rearview mirror. “I have it at home. Can I give it to you later?”
“Okay!” Xue Jing’s eyes lit up.
Lin Jiao asked, “Uncle, when did you buy him a doll?”
“Around the end of July.”
“It’s not a doll. It’s a figurine.” Xue Jing corrected her.
Pei Zhi told Lin Jiao about watching Boonie Bears with Xue Jing last time.
They chatted happily along the way until they reached the parking lot of the Red Maple Forest.
Pei Zhi opened the car door. “I’ll go up and get it first.”
Xue Jing, who received instructions from Lin Jiao, quickly got out of the car
He ran up to Pei Zhi and grabbed the corner of his shirt tightly with his right hand. “Brother-in-law, it’s so stuffy in the car.”
“Do you want to go up and rest for a while?”
“Yes!”
Pei Zhi led them back to the nineteenth floor.
He found the figurine on the shelf in the study and handed it to Xue Jing. “Take a look. Do you like it?”
Xue Jing exclaimed when he saw the figurines as if he had seen a treasure.
He reached out and carefully took them out of the wooden box. “I like it very very much!”
Pei Zhi rubbed the top of his head.
While Xue Jing was playing with the figurines, he went to the kitchen to wash a bowl of grapes and bring it out.
He peeled the sweet and juicy grapes and fed them to Lin Jiao, making her lips sparkle with water and tempting.
