She received a reply a few seconds after she sent the message.
[ “Yes. What’s the matter, tell me first?” ]
[ “Let’s talk again when we meet.” ]
Su Ji did not wait for a reply. She put her phone back into her pocket and got up from the sofa with one leg. She was quite agile. “I’m leaving. Thank you for your hospitality today.”
Jiang Chu was stunned for a moment before he got up from the sofa.
“You’re leaving so soon? Is it because my dad is back? He won’t disturb us!” Su Ji put on her sunglasses unhurriedly. “No, I have something to do.”
“What is it?” Jiang Chu asked.
For some reason, he didn’t want her to leave.
The two of them didn’t do anything other than watch TV, but Jiang Chu found it much more interesting than when he was alone.
Su Ji pushed up her glasses and smiled. “I’m going home to see your idol
His idol?
Jiang Chu reacted the next second.
The Pei scum?
He quickly hid his awkward expression and smiled awkwardly. “Okay, okay, I’ll send you out.”
Su Ji looked at his legs and then at the distance from the door. “Thanks.”
Pei Huai arrived at the apartment early.
To be precise, he was already on his way back when Su Ji sent him a WeChat message.
The apartment door was unlocked with his fingerprint. “Third Master.” Aunt Gong came out.
Pei Huai handed her his jacket and unbuttoned one of the buttons. He twirled the thing in his hand around nimbly with his fingers and he stepped into the room.
Aunt Gong blinked. It was a stick-shaped wood of excellent quality.
“Third Master, this is…”
“Help me find some dust-proof paper,” Pei Huai said. Aunt Gong paused. ‘Yes, Third Master.”
Ten minutes later, the wooden floor on the balcony was covered with dust-proof paper. The row of catmint planted by his fiancée was also covered. Pei Huai changed into light-colored home clothes and wore a pair of professional goggles. He held a wooden stick between his fingertips and a hand-held grinding instrument in his other hand.
Pressing the switch, the grinding wheel spun at high speed. The wooden stic immediately became extremely round and smooth wherever it passed. The instrument was in silent mode. The man’s expression was serious and relaxe The strength in his hands was very stable, and the veins in his arms were cle and beautiful.
The tiny wood shavings were sucked away from one end and flew out from the other.
Xiao Lingxian stared curiously at the trumpet-shaped exit on the instrument. After a soft sound, a large amount of wood shavings shot out toward its extremely white furry face.
It jumped back half a meter in fear and shook its head. Its face was covered in pale yellow sawdust, making it look like a little lion.
“Meow!”
Xiao Tong was watching from the side, his vigilant gaze on the jet.
When the next sound came, it bravely jumped in front of Xiao Lingxian to block it. “Wuwu!!”
It let out a threatening warning sound.
They were having fun here, but their master was not distracted.
He only focused on polishing the wooden stick.
He didn’t like the cane that he had ordered for his fiancée, so he threw it in the trunk of the car and didn’t use it much.
However, it was very important and would be used during rehabilitation training. Without the help of the cane, it was easy to cause a second injury.
Knowing that his fiancée liked things with an ancient style, Pei Huai planned to make one himself.
He had found a high-quality material today and had already ordered the craftsman to polish the shape of the cane according to Su Ji’s height. Now, after carving and decorating it, he would just add a wooden oil seal layer.
If Bian Tong was here, he would definitely be the one to handle this matter, but he couldn’t do it now.
Fortunately, Pei Huai had learned how to do this before and felt that there was no use for the skill. Now, he was using it on his fiancée.
There was a design drawing beside him. It was drawn when he was in his office. The pattern was not complicated. It was retro and young, niche and fashionable.
The carving of the armrest was satisfactory, but the lines on the column felt like they were missing something. He smoothed them down and redid them a few times, but he still shook his head. He took off his goggles and stood up to go to the toolbox to change the carving knife head.
Xiao Tong quietly moved to the front and used his small claws to pull the wooden stick. The wooden stick rolled twice on the ground.
Xiao Tong’s eyes lit up, and he started playing around with interest.
Xiao Lingxian sat on the dust-proof paper like a lady, her snow-white curly tail sweeping left and right.
“Xiao Tong.”
His cold and deep voice sounded from behind him. Xiao Tong’s small body stiffened and he came back to his senses.
The man picked up the cane and frowned at the part that was destroyed by Xiao Tong.
Xiao Tong sat at the side with his head drooping, like a naughty child who had done something wrong and was waiting to be reprimanded.
Xiao Ling Xian looked at her master, then at Xiao Tong. She blinked her eyes, and her tensed beautiful features showed her nervousness.
However, Pei Huai did not get angry as he checked the damaged parts. On the contrary, his originally furrowed brows actually relaxed.
His large palm landed on Xiao Tong, and Xiao Tongs small claws retracted. However, it was not physical punishment. His large palm landed comfortably on its head and rubbed it.
Xiao Tong: ‘
His claws scratched a few times, seemingly without any pattern, but they formed the most beautiful natural patterns.
It was amazing, but it seemed to be within expectations.
Pei Huai nodded in satisfaction.
It seemed like he had picked up the right cat.
Later on, when Pei Huai was carving, Xiao Tong and Xiao Lingxian surrounded him, giving him the feeling of having children and enjoying the happiness of family.
This continued for a while before Pei Huai’s phone rang.
Thinking that his fiancée was coming back, he didn’t do anything and just answered the call with his Bluetooth earpiece.
After a gentle “hello”, another voice sounded from the other end.
Pei Huai’s face sank almost instantly.
“It’s me.” Pei Shizhan knew that his son thought it was someone else. Pei Huai did not give him any face. “I’m sorry, I took the wrong one.” This was the first time someone took the wrong call.
“Don’t hang up yet. It’s about work,” Pei Shizhan said calmly. “There’s a very good project. I…”
Half an hour later, Su Ji returned to the apartment.
She didn’t see anyone, but she saw a few pairs of leather shoes neatly arranged in a row at the door.
Su Ji looked around the living room. The balcony floor was still covered with dust-proof paper, but it had been cleaned up, so she could not tell what was going on.
Aunt Gong said, “Ms. Su, Third Master is in the study…”
Su Ji nodded. Just as she pushed open the door, she saw Shen Mu and his assistants coming out with suitcases in their hands.
“Hello, Ms. su Ji.”
Pei Huai’s gaze swept past their figures. Seeing her hopping on one leg, he frowned. He was still on a call, so he walked over in a few steps. Then, as if no one was around, he picked her up with one hand and turned her around. Su Ji entered the study through the door.
Shen Mu and the others wisely took a step out of the door. Pei Huai put Su Ji down and closed the door behind her.
As the door was locked, he took a step closer to her.
Su Ji listened to his conversation, then learned that he was flying to Continent O for a business trip tomorrow morning..
