Chapter 677 - 677: Showdown!
After living together for a week, Pei Huai had yet to enjoy his girlfriend’s loving breakfast, but he already knew how to use the multipurpose pot like the back of his hand!
Today was the seventh day since he made breakfast for Su Ji.
Seven days, no more.
At 9 0’clock today, there was a meeting at the Pei Corporation.
It was 6:30 in the morning. Today, he was going to make coconut chicken soup, black pepper beef ribs, and boiled water spinach for his girlfriend.
The old hen had just arrived by air twenty minutes ago, and it was just enough for two people.
Three dishes in an hour.
A sweet fragrance wafted out from the kitchen.
The dishes were put into the thermal container.
Pei Huai took off his apron with one hand, looking like a surgeon who had just finished an operation.
The kitchen was as clean as before, as if it had never been used.
He instructed Aunt Gong to let Su Ji taste it when she woke up before preparing for the meeting at the office.
Not a typical CEO’s daily routine.
If the Pei family or the Pei Corporation were to find out about this, they would definitely think that he had been possessed.
Even Aunt Gong was stunned by what she saw. She stuffed the seven-page floral notebook into her apron pocket.
She just learned three dishes from the Third Young Master today!!
Pei Huai made breakfast the first two days because he felt sorry for Su Ji because she was tired at night. Later on, he inexplicably developed an interest in it.
Perhaps because he was too familiar with his girlfriend’s taste, Su Ji loved the food he made. She would eat more of it than the usual breakfast made by others. Sometimes, she would even eat it all.
Every day when he returned home and saw the empty plates, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
This was what he had been pursuing for thousands of years. His heart was finally no longer empty.
The meeting ended at llam.
Pei Huai let out a sigh of relief. He unbuttoned the first button of his collar with one hand, holding a few documents in his hand. He got up and left the meeting room.
Everyone could tell that although their CEO had been rushing in the morning recently, his complexion was visibly good!
The lower-level employees were still shipping Shen Mu and their CEO, but the executives knew that Ms. Su was the real mistress.
Pei Huai stepped into the elevator, and a few executives followed behind him carefully. When the elevator began to move to the top floor, they pressed the button to the bottom floor.
The elevator reached the top floor first. With a ding, the elevator door opened. The executives nodded respectfully. The moment Pei Huai stepped out of the elevator, he stopped.
“You…” He seemed to have thought of something and tilted his head slightly. “What kind of bento dishes do you like? If you have some inspiration, send it to me on WeChat.”
His plan was to make a few different dishes for Su Ji every morning.
“Bentos?” The higher-ups looked at each other. “Boss, are you talking about the kind of bentos that a wife makes for his husband?
That was usually the case, but in their CEO’s case, he was making it for his beloved wife.
“Yes,” he replied.
The executives revealed a smile.
“Of course, I’ll send it to you in a while!”
Even if they didn’t have any ideas, they would ask their wives immediately when they got back.
“Thank you.” Pei Huai walked out of the elevator.
“Boss, does Ms. Su Ji make them for you every day?” Before the elevator door closed, one of them poked his head out playfully and asked. Pei Huai heard it and replied, “yes, I make it for her every day.”
The elevator door closed, and they laughed.
“Did you hear that? No wonder the CEO has been looking so good recently. He is…”
He stopped abruptly.
They stared at each other.
No, they had heard wrongly…or did the CEO?
It wasn’t Ms. Su Ji who made the CEO lunch, but the CEO cooked for her every day?
Back in the office, Pei Huai threw the documents back onto the table and sat down.
He took out his phone from his pocket as it vibrated.
It was from Bian Tong, who was in the law department.
Pei Huai frowned. If he had known that it was him, he would not have taken out his phone so quickly.
Bian Tong had found a beautiful piece of jade. It was the kind that was very suitable for making bracelets. It would be auctioned in a few days and he asked if he was interested.
Pei Huai had one hand in his pocket and the other on his phone. His slender fingers tapped agilely on the screen. [ “Help me bid for it, I’ll send you the money.” ] [ “Hers was broken, so I’ll make her a new one.” ]
There was no response for a while. [ “How did it break????” ]
Four question marks in one sentence.
Pei Huai recalled what Su Ji told him.
He pressed a few buttons on the screen, deleted the message, and continued typing.
A minute later, he sent another message.
[ “You made the previous bracelet as well?” ]
This seemingly ordinary conversation made Bian Tong feel like he was being strangled!
A minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Pei Huai received an email on his computer and picked up his phone. It had been ten minutes, but Bian Tong had not replied.
He immediately called Bian Tong.
It was extremely expensive to pick up an international call, but since it was Pei Huai, Bian Tong only hesitated for a few seconds. In the end, he quickly picked up before hanging up.
Pei Huai went straight to the point and asked him about his past.
This was Pei Huai’s style.
However, Bian Tong still wanted to struggle a little more. He didn’t know how and when he had been exposed.
Was it Pei Huai’s neighbor, the researcher surnamed Wang?
That shouldn’t be the case. The people over there hadn’t found him yet.
But other than him…
Bian Tong could only think of one person.
“Pei Huai,” Bian Tong smiled awkwardly and said in a teasing tone, “how could there be such a bizarre thing? That bracelet is an antique from thousands of years ago. How could I have made it?”
“You’re an old monster,” Pei Huai said bluntly.
These words sound ridiculous coming from Pei Huai.
Bian Tong’s forehead was covered in sweat. The temperature in the country today was as high as 39 degrees celsius, but no matter how hot the sun was, it was not as bad as Pei Huai’s torture.
He wiped his sweat. “Ms. Su Ji said that? You don’t really believe it, do you?”
Pei Huai’s tone was deep. “As long as she says it, I will believe it.”
Bian Tong:
It seemed that he really couldn’t hide this time.
He fell silent for a few seconds. This time, he spoke in a serious tone, “what do you want to know? I’ll tell you when I come back..” A dark glint flashed across Pei Huai’s eyes.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you to come back.”
