Chapter 313 - 313 Master Pei’s Scheme
He seemed to want to gauge her reaction.
Su Ji looked back at him calmly without any reaction.
When Si Jingchuan came back, he happened to hear the last part of the sentence. “What? You don’t want to be a man? You’ve had too much to drink. If that’s the case, you should have done it in Country T last time.”
!!
Su Ji: “…”
Xu Ni: “…”
At the same time, they looked at him as if he was a fool.
Xu Ni didn’t drink too much. He didn’t drink at all. This thought lingered in his mind for several days. Finally, he knew where the source of this thought came from.
The candy wrapper.
It had the faint sweetness of lychee.
Yes, he was provoked by Su Ji.
Su Ji stared at Xu Ni for a while and smiled, “I knew that you don’t look like a man.”
Xu Ni pursed his lips.
Si Jingchuan looked at Xu Ni and then at Su Ji, “well, boss, although he’s indeed effeminate, don’t be so cruel…”
Su Ji and Xu Ni looked at him again.
Three seconds later, Si Jingchuan was kicked out of the group. Su Ji and Xu Ni started a one-on-one video call.
After Pei Xi had sent all the messages, Bill came over with a plate of onion rings, “baby, I see that you didn’t eat much tonight. Is it because the dishes today don’t suit your taste?”
“It’s too oily,” Pei Xi glanced at it and continued to fiddle with her phone.
Bilt ran his fingers through his hair charmingly. “I made this for you.”
Pei Xi: “…”
Then she would not eat it!
Seeing Su Ji chatting with someone on the phone, she curiously approached her and looked at the screen, “Xu Ni, if I were ten years younger, you would be mine.”
Xu Ni’s mouth was very sweet today, “I like how you look now.”
Pei Xi: “…”
Su Ji gave Xu Ni a look. Didn’t he just say he didn’t want to be a man anymore?
After chatting for a while, Xu Ni put his arms on his knees and looked at Su Ji. He looked surprisingly obedient. “After the new year, can you help me check on a family member?”
Su Ji smiled, “there’s no need to wait until the new year. I’m free tomorrow.”
Xu Ni smiled. His smile was f * cking beautiful.
At the dining table, the battle was in full swing.
During the day, they seemed to be polite, but after drinking, the meeting between the two families officially began.
Su Ji knew that Xu Mingzhi was a great drinker but she had not expected that Du Meilan was also a great drinker.
Pei Shizhan and Pei Huai drank with them.
The two women were getting more and more excited, but the two men beside them didn’t have much of a reaction.
Even when Du Meilan was drunk, she was still very elegant. Xu Mingzhi knew that when she was drunk, she would be very domineering. Hence, she video-called Wen Man.
The three women started to chat.
Later on, when Madam Du was defeated, Pei Huai took her place.
Pei Shizhan wanted to bring her back to the room. It might have been the first time Du Meilan had shown her emotions after drinking. Although her movements were subtle, Xu Mingzhi saw her pushing his hand away, “I’ll go back by myself.”
These words were said without a trace of emotion.
Even though Xu Mingzhi had drunk a lot, she was still observant. She shot a glance at Pei Huai. However, before Pei Huai could say anything, Du Meilan had already regained her composure. She smiled and looked at them with a warm expression. “You and Su Ji are not allowed to leave. I’ll order someone to prepare a room for you two. Pei Huai, keep your future mother-in-law company.”
“It’s fine, we…” Before Xu Mingzhi could finish his sentence, Pei Huai said politely, “my mother is quite insistent.”
Xu Mingzhi looked at him, but Pei Huai’s expression was calm.
Xu Mingzhi glanced at her daughter who was just about to come over. Pei Huai pulled out a chair for her. Su Ji sat down and placed her phone aside. She picked up a new pair of chopsticks and said, “I’m fine with anything.”
“That’s great. Just say yes.”
Xu Mingzhi said, “alright, then sorry to trouble you.”
Du Meilan smiled at Pei Shizhan.
Pei Shizhan said, “you always win.”
He subconsciously helped Du Meilan up, but when he recalled what she had just said, he retracted his hand.
The servants came over and said, “madam, let me help you.”
Even though Du Meilan said no, Pei Shizhan knew that she had drunk quite a bit.
She was very stubborn and she didn’t want anyone to help her.
The servants were quite worried.
Pei Shizhan walked with her and nodded at them. “I’ll take care of her. You guys go check on the guests.”
Xu Mingzhi retracted her gaze and tried to change the topic.
Pei Huai, on the other hand, spoke naturally, “she doesn’t usually have the chance to relax like this. She’s very happy to see you today.”
...
Xu Mingzhi nodded. After a short rest, she raised her glass to Pei Huai.
Pei Huai drank with Xu Mingzhi while peeling prawns for Su Ji. The screen of Su Ji’s mobile phone on the table lit up. It was a WeChat message from Si Jingchuan.
When Pei Huai put the prawns on her plate, he inadvertently glanced at it while talking to Xu Mingzhi.
Su Ji drank a few sips of wine.
She didn’t know how high Pei Huai and Madam Xu’s alcohol tolerance was. The two of them looked like they were completely sober. If she hadn’t smelled the alcohol on his body, she would have thought that he was drinking water.
Later on, Pei Huai stopped peeling the prawns for her for a while and even took a prawn from her plate…
Su Ji knew that he had reached the limit of his alcohol tolerance.
At that time, it was just past midnight, and the Pei family had gathered together again, but Madam Du and Pei Shizhan had not come out.
Pei Xi and Pei Song laughed at Pei Huai. “Aunt Xu, your alcohol tolerance is really good. This is the first time we’ve seen Pei Huai drink too much.”
Xu Mingzhi clearly indicated that Pei Huai had also passed the final test. “Pei Huai, you’re not bad at drinking.”
After the new year, the sound of fireworks could still be heard outside the windows. The sky was dark and bright.
...
After Xu Mingzhi returned to the room, she started to feel the alcohol. However, she insisted on taking a shower before lying down to rest.
After Su Ji tucked her in, she took her pulse and gave her a goodnight kiss, “Happy New Year mom.”
At that moment, Xu Mingzhi’s smile was extremely gentle.
The Pei family also went to bed. This year’s celebration was really lively.
The corridor only quieted down after midnight. The servant brought Su Ji back to her room. Su Ji thanked her and the servant closed the door for her with a smile.
After entering the house, Su Ji began to take off her clothes. She threw her clothes on the bed and then went into the bathroom to take a shower. Half an hour later, her hair was half wet, and she casually put on the new pajamas prepared by the servant.
She lifted the blanket and was about to step onto the bed, but the next second, her hand stopped in mid-air.
Only then did she see Pei Huai lying on the bed.
ai was lying inside!
