Master Pei's Wife is a Devil Concubine

309 Master Pei’s Mother

Su Ji felt that something was not right, but she could not figure out what it was.

Si Jingbin only recognized the word “lily”, so he agreed.

“You know me so well, ” Wen Man said, “lilies are my favorite.”

Xu Mingzhi nodded, “let’s go to that restaurant then.”

!!

Their shopping cart was parked outside, and the macho men helped them look after it.

The four of them entered the restaurant.

The restaurant had a theme to it, but Xu Mingzhi and the others could not tell what kind of theme it was. In short, the decoration was very artistic and elegant. There were beautiful girls at the front desk, but not a single man.

There was a bouquet of lilies in each vase on each table, and the vases were laced.

They looked pure and beautiful.

The price of the dishes was high, but to Madam Xu, it was as if they were free.

When the receptionist saw the four of them enter, she was stunned. She looked at Xu Mingzhi and Wen Man, then at Su Ji and Si Jingbin. She immediately said to the waitress behind, “a family of four, a family room!”

As soon as Su Ji and the rest were brought into the private room, two waitresses who looked like fangirls started to chatter, “the child is so cute, but why isn’t he mixed-race?”

“It’s acceptable now in this country.”

“He’s obviously from the upper class. When one has money, anything is possible.”

The atmosphere in the private room was very nice. The waitress even gave them an introduction. In order to protect the privacy of the customers, the dishes were served through the conveyor belt behind the curtains in the private room. The chefs would send the dishes directly to them. There would be no repeated interruptions by the servers.

Wen Man really liked this place. She said happily, “let’s come here more often in the future, shall we?”

Xu Mingzhi said, “if you like it, we can come here for every date.”

The waitress who was taking the order really liked this family of good-looking people.

After taking their orders, she left respectfully. Su Ji took off her hat and mask, leaned back in her chair, and exhaled in relief.

It was good to have her privacy here.

After walking for an entire day, Wen Man could finally sit down and have a sip of tea. She felt as if she had come back to life.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, they started chatting.

Si Jingbin, who was usually shy and quiet in kindergarten, was the first to speak.

He excitedly told Su Ji about what he learned recently, about the Great Migration of Continent F’s wildebeest, and the difference between the black Impala and the Longhorn Antelope.

Although he spoke in a childish voice, his words made sense.

Su Ji was now convinced that he would grow up to be very powerful.

While Pei Xingxing was reciting a complete collection of romantic phrases, he was watching a nature documentary.

Si Jingbin said, “daddy said that when I get better, he’ll take me to Continent F to see the real Great Migration.”

Su Ji told him that it would be soon.

Then, she took his pulse.

Wen Man had almost forgotten about that.

The results were good, and everyone at the table was relieved.

“By the way,” Wen Man suddenly thought of something, “aren’t you going to meet CEO Pei’s parents during the new year? When will it be?”

Xu Mingzhi rinsed the cups and the four sets of cutlery on the table. Finally, she poured the water. “On Chinese New Year’s Eve tomorrow night.”

“The two families are celebrating the New Year together?” Wen Man raised her eyebrows and smiled, “why do I feel like something good is about to happen to Su Ji?”

Hearing this, Xu Mingzhi suddenly became serious, “she’ll only be 21 after the new year. Is it appropriate to get married at this age?”

Wen Man’s mouth twitched, “that is indeed too young.”

What about the law that said a woman could get married at 20?

Su Ji was eating the side dishes. She threw a peanut into her mouth, and Si Jingbin ate another. She completely ignored theme.

Xu Mingzhi looked at her for a while. Although she wouldn’t agree to her precious daughter getting married too early, she still had to be polite when meeting Pei Huai’s parents.

Many of the things she bought today were actually for them.

“Baby,” she helped her daughter tidy her hair and said earnestly, “be more reserved tomorrow.”

“In which aspect?” Su Ji asked while chewing on a peanut.

Xu Mingzhi thought for a while and said, “for example, don’t be too affectionate with Pei Huai in front of his parents. It’s better to be more reserved when you meet them for the first time.”

Wen Man picked up the teacup, “are they usually very affectionate?”

She smiled, “I can’t imagine it when I see CEO Pei’s cold face.”

Su Ji touched her neck, “my mom is just talking nonsense. We are not like that at all.”

Xu Mingzhi gave her a look, “no? Weren’t you the one who watched two hours of television in his arms when I wasn’t at home? Why? Is the sofa in our house too small? Do you have to sit together?”

Wen Man laughed so hard that she almost choked on her tea.

Si Jingbin, who hadn’t made a sound for a long time, was so jealous that his cheeks were bulging.

Su Ji’s ears turned red. She did not want to talk about this anymore. “Fine, when I shake hands with him in front of his parents, I’ll put on gloves too, okay?”

Xu Mingzhi rolled her eyes at her, “I’m doing this for your own good. I’ve never interacted with his mom before, and I don’t know what kind of personality she has. I think she’s most likely a conservative person. Where else can you find a parent as open-minded as I am?”

“Yes, yes,” Su Ji smiled, “you’re the most open-minded mother. 21 years old is too young for a woman to get married.”

“Tsk,” Xu Mingzhi narrowed her eyes.

...

Before she could throw a tantrum, the food arrived. Su Ji quickly took it out from the conveyor belt and put food in her bowl. Then, she put her arms around her neck and kissed her on the cheek, “my mom is the best.”

With her coaxing, Xu Minghi was so happy that she couldn’t stop smiling.

**

After that, they parted ways at the shopping mall. By the time Su Ji and Xu Mingzhi reached home, it was already 8 o’clock in the evening.

Xu Mingzhi had received a document from Wei Wei. “Baby, mom will be busy upstairs for a while. You should take a shower and rest early. You have to wake up early tomorrow. I’ve put the snacks on the table. You can take them back to your room to eat.”

Su Ji said lazily, “okay.”

Xu Mingzhi turned around and went upstairs.

Su Ji sat downstairs for a while. It was really tiring to walk around for a whole day.

Her mind was still filled with Xu Mingzhi’s instructions for her tomorrow.

Su Ji glanced at the two boxes of snacks on the table, and a hint of slyness flashed across her beautiful eyes.

She stretched her legs, took the bag of snacks, and stood up.

...

Aunt Wu asked in a low voice, “miss, are you going out?”

“Don’t tell my mom,” Su Ji said.

Since she couldn’t be lovey-dovey with him tomorrow, she would take the opportunity to visit him tonight.

**

Next door, Uncle He opened the door for Su Ji and said with a smile, “Ms. Su, young master is in the study upstairs.”

Su Ji gave Uncle He a box of snacks, “is my dad here?”

“Thank you so much,” Uncle He took it with both hands. “It’s almost the new year. Mr. Su will be at the Su residence in the next two days.”

Su Ji nodded and went upstairs with the snacks.

The soft plastic bag made a rustling sound and swayed by her side.

Pei Huai was video-chatting with someone on his phone. Su Ji knocked on his door when he was no longer talking.

Seeing that it was her, Pei Huai glanced at the person in the video call. The person in the video call immediately understood and stopped talking.

Pei Huai’s chair turned to Su Ji, his long legs slightly open, and he beckoned at her.

Su Ji walked over and sat on his lap very naturally. She did not look at the phone on the table at all.

Pei Huai smiled as he carried her and shifted in his seat. Su Ji sat horizontally on his lap. Her legs were bent and her feet were on the left side. Her back was against the armrest and it was uncomfortable. Pei Huai reached out and placed it between her back and the armrest.

Only then did Su Ji find a comfortable sitting position.

“You thought of visiting me today,” he nodded at the bag of snacks in her arms, “and brought me snacks?”

“I guess so,” Su Ji replied.

Pei Huai asked, “did you buy it especially for me?”

“No,” Su Ji replied honestly, “I gave one to Uncle He.”

A short burst of laughter suddenly rang out in the room. It was so short that Su Ji couldn’t tell where it came from. She raised her head and looked around, but she didn’t see anything. Pei Huai’s expression was normal. Su Ji was really tired from shopping today and thought she had heard wrong.

“By the way, let me tell you something,” she opened the box of snacks. It was a pastry. She stuffed one into Pei Huai’s mouth and ate one herself.

Pei Huai wasn’t hungry. He took it out and placed it on the table. He pulled her closer like he was holding a cat in his arms, “what’s the matter?”

Su Ji replied, “when I come to your house tomorrow, stay away from me.”

The crumbs of the pastry she ate fell on his suit, and she reached out to brush them away.

Pei Huai pulled away from her and frowned, “what do you mean?”

Su Ji replied, “my mom said that it’s not good for us to be too close in front of your parents during our first meeting. She’s afraid that your mom will be unhappy.”

Hearing this, Pei Huai’s brows relaxed. He glanced at the phone on the table and smiled, “maybe she’ll be happy?”

“That can’t be. Wnyway, my mother said that no one is more open-minded than her among the rich and powerful.”

Pei Huai chuckled and grabbed a tissue to wipe the residue on her face, “really, Madam Du is open-minded. Her biggest dream in life is to see me being affectionate with another girl.”

His mother’s surname was Du.

“?” Su Ji furrowed her eyebrows.

She didn’t seem to believe it.

Pei Huai looked at the phone on the table, “see for yourself.”

Su Ji didn’t understand what he meant and looked over.

In the video call that was still connected, the great beauty, Du Meilan, who still retained her charm, was watching her son holding her future daughter-in-law and silencing herself for a long time before she dared to laugh out loud. Her laughter was so demonic!
