Pei Song tilted his head slightly and looked at her for a long time. After a while, he raised his eyebrows.
He could not change his habit of not taking advantage of others.
He pulled Cao Zhuzhu into his arms with one hand, then the other hugged her.
“How nice of you to want to save the dowry.”
Cao Zhuzhu:
Pei Song hugged her even tighter, his chin sinking into her already sunken neck.
Cao Zhuzhu was so ticklish that she squeezed her hand out to push him away. “Can you stop acting like that?”
“What?” Pei Song looked at her from a distance, his deep eyes hidden behind his thin-rimmed glasses. “I don’t understand.” He smiled evilly and said, “you know very well I’m not.”
Cao Zhuzhu raised her hand and hit him.
It was not until the sound of plates falling to the ground came from the kitchen that the rustling inside stopped for a while.
Su Ji and Pei Huai looked in that direction without batting an eyelid.
On the big screen in front of them, the female ghost flashed out from behind the curtain with a thud. She stared at the camera with her terrifying eyes wide open and her mouth wide open. The tiny black fangs inside looked like some kind of deep-sea creature. It was very strange.
This was the scariest scene in the entire movie.
However, Su Ji and Pei Huai turned to look at the kitchen just before the ghost appeared.
Three seconds later, they turned back.
There was nothing behind the curtains, only the cold wind blowing outside the window. The curtains were raised high.
“There’s nothing. I thought there would be some amazing scenes from the sound effects.”
“It’s deliberately mystifying.” A certain CEO took the fact that his fiancée was not satisfied very seriously. “I’ll give it a bad review later.”
“Don’t forget to remain anonymous,” Su Ji reminded him.
Early the next morning, warm light shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the master bedroom, casting elongated and deformed geometric patterns on the spacious bed. The mint green brocade cotton bedding was sun-dried into a warm beige color.
Su Ji fell asleep on her side, facing Pei Huai. Pei Huai had been awake for a long time and had maintained this position, admiring his fiancée’s side profile.
The sun was just right. After a good night’s sleep, Su Ji’s skin was even bouncier than usual, shining like a diamond.
Her dark and fine hair fell beside her ears. She did not need to comb it to make sure that each strand of hair was clear and smooth.
Pei Huai reached his hand into the blanket and hugged her thighs. However, before he could do anything else, his phone that was placed at the head of the bed vibrated for more than twenty times. It moved slowly to the side of the cabinet. Just as it was about to fall…
Pei Huai’s palm appeared right below it and caught it steadily and accurately.
The noise crisis was resolved, and his fiancée was not woken up.
Normally, no one would dare to send him messages at such an urgent frequency unless the company’s stock fell beyond a threshold or there was a major problem.
But today, Pei Huai took his phone indifferently, leaned against the headboard, unlocked his phone, and the screen automatically jumped to the WeChat interface.
More than twenty messages came from that public account.
[ “The Home of Poop Picker has launched new products!” ]
One by one, he clicked on “read” and deleted them. He definitely couldn’t let his fiancée see them.
Otherwise, the two of them would have spent the day there.
Then, he clicked on the last message. An extremely fair hand grabbed his wrist, and the girl beside him woke up. Su Ji asked hoarsely, “what time is it?”
Pei Huai answered her.
Su Ji yawned and reached for his clothes. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go home later. Will you send me or should I walk by myself?”
Pei Huai looked at her. The next second, he flipped his wrist, and the phone was given to Su Ji. On it was the last new notification that had not been deleted. “The shop yesterday has new products. If you’re not in a hurry to go back, can I accompany you
Pei Huai, who had been thinking about not letting his fiancée see these advertisements a second ago, changed his mind the next second.
And the effect was immediate.
When Su Ji saw the content, her sleepy eyes instantly lit up. “I’m not in a hurry to go back. When are we going shopping?”
Pei Huai smiled. “After breakfast.”
If Su Ji wanted to go back, Pei Huai would rather spend a day with her at The Home of Poop Picker.
The new update that Su Ji saw was even more attractive than the others.
It was not canned food or wet food.
[ “Live kittens are on sale for a limited time. Honorable guests, don’t miss out
Today was the anniversary celebration, so the shop was livelier than usual.
The shop assistant sent off a customer, and her gaze was attracted by two figures who had just entered through the door.
‘Welcome
Both of them wore masks and walked in one after another.
The girl walked in front with her hands in her pockets. The man was two steps behind her.
The two of them covered their faces and were not wearing any couple’s outfit, but it was obvious that they were a couple.
Perhaps it was because they had a very similar aura. It was hard to tell what kind of aura it was, but Pei Song and Cao Zhuzhu did not have it. Only these two did.
Another shop assistant came over and bumped her colleague’s shoulder. She whispered, “they’re together.”
This was the shop assistant who had served them yesterday.
“How can you be so sure?” The colleague suppressed her gossipy voice.
The shop assistant raised her chin at Pei Huai. “Take a look for yourself.” The colleague looked over and her gaze was directed at Pei Huai’s wrist.
On the man’s clearly protruding wrist bone was a…black rubber band that was very thin, but the tightness was just right. It just happened to wrap around his wrist, neither tight nor loose, as if it was announcing to the people around him that he was already taken.
The shop assistant went forward and asked, “how can I help you?” Su Ji showed her Pei Huai’s phone screen.
The shop assistant took a look. “Ah, the new cats that arrived today are all super cute-
“This way please
The shop assistant made a “please” gesture, and Su Ji walked in front. “Thanks, I’ll take a look first.”
The shop assistant bowed.
Pei Huai also passed by the shop assistant. He emphasized, “we are just looking. ”
The shop assistant said, “ah…’
Pei Huai said confidently, “we will not have a second cat.”
The corners of the shop assistant’s mouth twitched slightly. “It’s okay, sir. It’s free to watch!”
Pei Huai nodded.
Walking to the pet area, one could hear meows coming from the transparent crystal cabinet door.
Each cat had a separate display cabinet with white and soft cushions. Different breeds of kittens stayed inside.
Su Ji walked as she read, occasionally reaching out to tease her. Soon, she stopped in front of a cabinet.
It was the one used on the cover of the new advertisement.
She was here for this one…
