“When did you arrive in China?”

Pei Huai asked.

He sounded unhurried, but his tone was definitely not good. Su Ji looked at him.

The other side of the phone replied respectfully, “not long after you boarded the plane, Third Master.”

Pei Huai was silent for a few seconds. “Back to the Pei family?”

“Don’t worry. I haven’t returned to the Pei family yet.”

Pei Huai said coldly, “don’t let the old master know about it either.”

“Understood!”

When Pei Huai hung up, Su Ji also looked away.

Later, when it was time for breakfast, Su Ji casually asked, “your father is back?”

Pei Huai responded emotionally, but his action of cutting her steak was not affected. “Ji Xi’s cameo scene in ‘Qingqiu Tactics’ started, so he went to visit her. ”

Su Ji silently rubbed her forehead.

From her boyfriend’s point of view, this matter was indeed worth being angry about.

Previously, Old Master Pei had given an absolute order not to allow Pei Shizhan to return to the country just to separate him from Ji Xi.

He was hoping that one day, after the novelty wore off, he would be able to turn over a new leaf and get his daughter-in-law back.

Pei Shizhan had indeed kept his promise in the past six months, but it wasn’t because of Old Master Pei. The main reason was that Pei Huai was there. This time, Ji Xi’s cameo role was quite difficult and stressful. Recently, Su Ji had also seen the news about it, and her mood was not very stable.

Pei Huai happened to come to Z-Sea with Su Ji, so Pei Shizhan arranged a trip back to China.

Su Ji didn’t say anything and just talked about today’s dishes.

Pei Huai did not eat much for breakfast. When she said she was done, he sent her to the entertainment room and stayed with her for a while before returning to the study to work.

This time, the trip to Z-Sea wasn’t too rushed. Pei Huai didn’t arrange anything on the first day after he got off the plane, so he let Su Ji enjoy the day in the palace, soak in the hot spring, and rest.

The facilities in the entertainment room were better than any in A City. She shot darts and played foosball for a while.

While they were playing foosball, they recalled that Si Jingchuan was an avid fan of the World Cup. Since the start of the World Cup, he betted in almost every game, but he was unlucky and lost badly.

Later on, Su Ji was asked to guess which team would win. She had never watched it before, so she made a random guess. It was an unpopular team, and that team would definitely not win. However, Si Jingchuan had no choice but to bet on it since his boss had spoken.

After losing so many matches, Si Jingchuan gritted his teeth and bought it.

In the end…the team really won!

Si Jingchuan had won back all the losses he had previously suffered.

After that, he asked his boss to help him guess a few times, and all of them were correct.

Si Jingchuan exclaimed in amazement!

He kept pestering Su Ji how she guessed it and if there was any secret, she

must not hide it.

Su Ji was annoyed by him. Then, she said, “maybe…l’m a genius in this field?”

However, only she knew that every time Si Jingchuan asked her about it, an image would flash across her mind.

She seemed to have seen it again.

Furthermore, based on Si Jingchuan’s results these few times, everything she saw…would happen.

Without exception…

Pei Huai accompanied Su Ji for lunch. After lunch, he drove to the golf course. In the afternoon, Su Ji felt sleepy and took an afternoon nap. Pei Huai returned to the study at that time.

She slept for three hours before she woke up. She walked out of the room and went downstairs. The old butler happened to bring her afternoon tea. She had slept for three hours just for a nap. Su Ji pressed her fingers to her temples.

How annoying.

It was longer than two days ago.

The old butler smiled and said, “Miss Su is too tired. It’s normal to sleep a little longer.”

Su Ji smiled emotionlessly and glanced at the refreshments he brought. “Please make me a cup of coffee.”

“Ah, no problem.” The butler did not know that Su Ji had a habit of drinking coffee when he took care of her last time, so he only brewed black tea this time. Feeling that he had neglected her, he quickly asked her, “may I know what kind of coffee you like? Mocha, latte, cappuccino…”

“Black coffee will do,” Su Ji said. “It’s best if it’s concentrated.”

The old butler hesitated for a few seconds. “Isn’t that a little too stimulating…”

“It’s fine, as long as it can refresh me,” Su Ji replied.

“Oh, right.”

The old butler had just left when she called out to him.

“Yes, Ms. Su Ji?”

Turning around, the old butler saw Su Ji, who was in her pajamas, snuggling into the sofa. Her lips curled into a smile. “Don’t tell Sir.”

“Alright…” The old butler couldn’t explain why, but he felt that she seemed a little weak…

She was a little different from the girl who had been in high spirits the last time she came.

After a whole day of work, Su Ji could tell that although Pei Huai still took care of her meticulously, he was still affected by the call with Pei Shizhan in the morning.

He was a person who hid his emotions well and would not let his negative emotions affect Su Ji. Therefore, there was no way to cheer him up.

The sky was dark. The old butler said that there would be a fireworks show in the city today. The top of the mountain in the hot spring area of the Imperial Palace was the best place to watch the fireworks.

He asked if he should make arrangements for the two masters.

The last time Pei Huai brought Su Ji there, Su Ji felt as if her body was falling apart. She said that she would never go there again, especially not with Pei Huai.

Recalling her determined expression at that time, Pei Huai helped her reject the butler’s suggestion. “No…”

“I want to go,” Su Ji suddenly said.

Pei Huai looked at her.

Su Ji put her hands in her pockets and said casually, “didn’t you just get off the plane today? I feel that soaking in the hot spring will be quite comfortable.”

“That’s what I mean,” the old butler said lovingly. “Sir, shall I go and prepare?”

Pei Huai nodded.

The hot spring at the top of the mountain was steaming with white fog. The summer night breeze blew away some of the heat, but it did not seem stuffy and made people feel very comfortable.

This was a hot spring that only the owner could use.

Pei Huai sat opposite her at first, his arm resting on the stone wall of the hot spring behind him.

In fact, just looking at her like this already made him feel rejuvenated.

However, Su Ji moved to sit beside him.

She still remembered what happened at the hot spring last time.

“Don’t mess around.’

He said that she seemed to be very tired recently and wanted her to rest early tonight.

She followed Su Ji into the water. Her long black hair spread out underwater, and the ends of her hair were soft.

The fireworks in the main city exploded at that moment. Su Ji had a hundred ways to make him go crazy…
