Pei Huai: “You know the language of the great Shang Dynasty?”

Su Ji: “You know the language of the great Shang Dynasty?”

After a few seconds of silence, the two of them asked at the same time.

“That’s the only sentence I know. I don’t know why, but I dreamed of it,” Pei Huai told her the truth.

Su Ji frowned in confusion, “what kind of dream would involve the language of the great Shang Dynasty?”

Pei Huai was about to say something, but then he thought about how strange it was for him to have such dreams since he was young, he didn’t want to scare her away.

“Then where did you learn the language?” he asked instead.

From the way she replied just now, PeI Huai was sure that Su Ji’s proficiency in the language was definitely above his.

However, it was an ancient language from thousands of years ago.

Unless one was a historian who specialized in the history of the great Shang Dynasty, who would learn this language for no reason?

Su Ji was also worried that her boyfriend would send her to the most expensive mental hospital in A City if she told him that she had reincarnated in another person’s body. She thought for a moment and said, “I learnt a little from the trip to the museum last time…”

Pei Huai raised his eyebrows, “I was there that day. Why didn’t I hear anything?”

Su Ji said self-righteously, “I went earlier than you. By the time you arrived, the lecture had already ended.”

Pei Huai smiled, but he didn’t probe further. “I see.”

How much could she learn from a short lecture?

The Chinese language was so rich and complicated. Even if she attended a class, they wouldn’t teach such a specific phrase like “sis, you’re so fair”.

That sounded like a response from someone who knew it as a native language.

However, if that was Su Ji’s mother tongue, then…

Pei Huai smiled. The more he got to know his enigmatic girlfriend, the more he liked her.

Su Ji returned to the dormitory and began to deal with her orders.

She also unblocked all the potential customers who were too slow in responding.

Pan Lian, who was practicing her singing, could feel that something had changed.

It had only been an hour, so what made her so motivated all of a sudden?

“Did you go out with CEO Pei?”

It was only after she came to Blue Whale that she realized that she was not joking when she said CEO Pei had been treating her to dinners!

Su Ji nodded, “he and I…we’ve established some deeper ‘friendship’.”

Pan Lian blinked and tried her best to guess, but she didn’t expect it to be a romantic relationship!

She also did not expect that Su Ji was more motivated now because she had a man to feed!

Although she was still annoyed that Pei Huai dug out her grave, she put it aside for the time being since he had already given her the calligraphy and painting.

It was also strange that he dreamed about the language of the great Shang Dynasty…

Just now in the car, Pei Huai said it so fluently that Su Ji did not notice it. Only after she had answered did she realize that he was speaking in the ancient language.

She was almost exposed.

She recalled the last time she said that phrase. It was the first time she met her bestie when she was drunk and accidentally barged into the bathroom.

Even though she had drunk a lot, she still remembered those words.

This was because she was really fair, just like…her boyfriend…

Su Ji furrowed her brows and tried her best to recall the scene.

Their fairness was very similar.

It was the color of white jade.

Maybe she should treat Pei Huai as her substitute!

After settling the order,she received a call from Pei Xi.

Pei Xi seemed to be extremely angry. The moment she picked up the phone, she heard her complain, “if it wasn’t for the fact that ‘The Billion Stars’ is our investment and the press conference is imminent, I would have gone against her!”

Su Ji knew that Pei Xi had been busy with her press conference, so she said, “calm down. What happened?”

How could she miss out on a group fight?

Pei Xi was so angry that she gritted her teeth, “who else could it be? It’s Zhou Xuefang! She went to the same designer who already agreed to make your dress! She’s clearly using her identity as the female lead to assert dominance! I gave Zhou Xuefang a call. Can you guess what she said?”

“What did she say?” Su Ji smiled.

Pei Xi mimicked Zhou Xuefang’s gentle and determined tone of voice, “how can they do that? Please don’t be angry, I’ll tell my manager right now!”

In the end, the next day after the call, Pei Xi was in a discussion with another designer who had a good reputation in recent years. However, within a day, Chen Jing went to him too!

Of course, Pei Xi could tell that Zhou Xuefang was just pretending to be ignorant and was playing along with her manager.

After all, no one had any proof that they did it on purpose.

There were only a few luxury brands in the world.

More than one person could go to the same designer.

Pei Xi was furious. “It’s fine if they wanted the first few designers I talked to, but the dress from SK really suits you. It’s not the typical sweet princess-y style. It’s elegant and badass, especially the limited edition dress that hasn’t been released this fall. The moment I saw the dress I knew it’s made for you. I must see you in it!”

“Alright, if you think that dress is good, we’ll take it,” Su Ji smiled.

“Great!” Pei Xi was relieved. “Since you are on my side, then I won’t be polite to Zhou Xuefang. Does she really think I’m a pushover? My husband has been the global spokesperson of SK for three consecutive years. Even if you are not an actress and just wanted to buy their dress for fun, they would still have to give it to you”

When it came to “bullying” others, everyone else was an amatuer compared to Pei Xi.

“Thanks, Pei Xi.” Su Ji leaned back in her chair and seemed to have thought of something, “what are you going to do with Zhou Xuefang?”

Pei Xi snorted, “I’ll just make sure she won’t get the dress.”

Su Ji’s tone was as casual as ever, “hmm…that might not be enough to make her remember this.”

“Huh?”

Pei Xi smelled the hint of trouble and immediately perked up.

She loved it when Su Ji caused trouble.

“Do you have any idea? Quickly tell me about it!”
