After the interview, Pei Huai brought Su Ji back to the old mansion.
After leaving the recording studio, Su Ji and Jiang Chu did not see Ms. Lan again.
The warm and clear twilight suppressed the last glimmer of light.
The sun was setting in the west, and the snow was melting. In the evening fog, smoke billowed, and cars came and went on the road. Pedestrians were bustling home to prepare for the new year.
In the passenger seat, Su Ji noticed a small ink dot on Pei Huai’s shirt cuff.
Although it was very small, to the extent that it could only be seen clearly with a magnifying glass, it was still an extremely rare situation for it to appear on Pei Huai’s body.
It seemed that he didn’t have time to change before picking her up.
Su Ji raised her eyebrows. “You did calligraphy?”
As the first disciple of her Huajin Style Script, it seemed like she hadn’t seen him write calligraphy for a long time.
Pei Huai nodded and checked the road conditions. He turned the steering wheel and the car made a smooth turn. “Grandpa was in the mood to write couplets, so I wrote with him as practice.”
“Practice?” Su Ji turned to him, interested in his words. “What do you want to write? Don’t tell me you want to participate in next year’s calligraphy competition?”
She deliberately teased him as if she was treating her beloved disciple, causing Pei Huai’s lips to curve into a smile.
When the car stopped at the traffic light, he turned his head to look at Su Ji and gently placed his dry and warm palm on her abdomen.
The setting sun outside the window was suddenly warm, and a few golden rays passed through the gaps of his hair.
“You’ll find out soon enough,” he said, in a low, very pleasant voice.
Su Ji’s ears felt a little numb.
When they returned to the Pei family’s house, Xu Mingzhi’s car was already parked in the courtyard.
There were also two cars, Pei Song and Pei Xi’s.
Through the open window, the sound of the New Year’s party in the house was extremely lively.
The little princess giggled and Pei Xingxing was forced to sing.
Last year, he was forced to sing “Lonely Hero” during the Chinese New Year. This year, he was singing “Love Like Fire”…
The young master’s voice was more stable than last year’s, and the song was inexplicably charming.
And the first person to be charmed by him was Cao Zhuzhu!
The butler was arranging for the servants to clean up. Dinner time on New Year’s Eve would be a little later, around 8 o’clock.
Pei Yuanyang stood on the high fence, as if she was welcoming them, but at the same time, it seemed like she wasn’t. Standing tall in the cold wind, she felt a little melancholic in this family reunion festival.
In the garden about seven or eight meters away from it, Xiao Tong and Xiao Lingxian, who had been picked up by Aunt Gong, were showing off their affection under the setting sun.
The lights in the courtyard lit up, stretching the two little cubs’ figures. Their two long furry tails were in the shape of a heart.
Wang Yi also came.
His car was parked in his own courtyard next door.
When Su Ji entered the house to change her shoes, she could smell the fragrance of the cake that had just been baked. It was the kind that had not a single drop of water, and had a lot of butter and milk added to it. It would be super fluffy and soft.
Du Meilan smiled and called Su Ji over to have a taste.
She opened the oven and searched for heat-resistant gloves from the drawer.
She opened the third drawer and found them. Just as she was about to take it, Wang Yi reached out and took the gloves.
Du Meilan: “?”
Wang Yi said, “I’ll help you.”
Su Ji said yes and her breath was visible as it was cold outside.
Pei Huai took off her coat and handed it to the servant. Then, he remembered the tiny ink dot on his shirt and frowned in disgust.
When the cake was cut open, the fragrance in the room became even stronger. The children could no longer stand it.
Du Meilan: “Pei Huai, you want to try it too?”
“No.” Pei Huai turned around and went upstairs. “I’m going upstairs to change.”
Before Su Ji could sit down, she cut a piece with her fork and put it into her mouth. It melted with a sip.
“His clothes are stained with ink,” she explained on behalf of Pei Huai, then looked at Du Meilan. “The cake is very fragrant, and the sweetness is just right.”
Du Meilan smiled. “He didn’t inherit his mysophobia from me.”
Su Ji instantly understood.
She also distributed the Gorgon Fruit Cake that Yang Xiaotao had given to everyone. There were black rice and red beans in it. Pei Xingxing liked it a lot.
Su Ji saw Cao Zhuzhu picked up a piece, then put it down after thinking about it.
“Why aren’t you eating?” she asked, her hand on the edge of the table.
Cao Zhuzhu gulped. “Rice, black rice, and red beans are all starch. They’ll make me fat.”
A sly look flashed across Su Ji’s eyes. She narrowed her eyes. “But I saw you eat three pieces of cake just now. Cakes are more fattening than gorgon seed cakes, aren’t they?”
Cao Zhuzhu’s face turned red after being exposed by Su Ji. She cleared her throat and looked away. “The cake was made by Madam Du, of course it’s different…”
“What are you guys talking about?” Speaking of the devil, Du Meilan suddenly appeared and stretched out her hand from between the two of them, putting down a fruit plate.
Cao Zhuzhu’s cheeks had only been slightly red just now, but now, they had turned the color of a ripe crab.
“Aunty, I’ll help you wash the fruits!” She stood up from her chair almost immediately.
Du Meilan smiled kindly. “The maids are all done washing up. I’m very happy that you came.”
Cao Zhuzhu said, “then…I’ll come often in the future!”
Du Meilan paused, and Su Ji could not help but laugh out loud.
How cute.
“By the way,” Su Ji looked around. “Where’s my mother?”
The car was parked outside, but she had not seen her mother since she came in.
Du Meilan seemed to have just remembered something. “By the way, your mother just went to the study to answer Mr. Su’s call. It seems to have been more than ten minutes?”
She looked at Wang Yi as if to confirm the time.
Wang Yi nodded. “Yes.”
Du Meilan was somewhat worried.
Especially when she thought of her expression every time she mentioned her in-law.
Su Ji swallowed the last piece of cake and got up. “I’ll go take a look.”
Du Meilan nodded.
Reality proved that Xu Mingzhi meeting Su Cunyi was like Mars hitting Earth. Everyone’s worries were not unnecessary.
The moment Su Ji pushed open the study door, something that looked like a hidden weapon flew straight towards the door.
Su Ji nimbly dodged to the side and reached out to catch it. It was a pen.
“Su Cunyi! I’ll f…” When Xu Mingzhi turned around and saw her daughter, her expression clearly froze. She swallowed the curse words and lowered her voice. “I’ll tell you one last time. My daughter will not return to the Su family to worship your ancestors. Give up!”
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
“Baby.” She walked over to Su Ji and took the pen from her hand. “When did you get here?”
She casually threw the pen back into the slender pen holder at the corner of the table.
“I just arrived.” Su Ji shrugged. “When you threw the pen.”
Xu Mingzhi’s mouth twitched slightly.
Fortunately, she didn’t hear her cursing frenzy.
It was not good for the baby.
As the two of them were talking, Su Cunyi called again.
