Chapter 128: Su Ji Cried

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Ji wanted to kick him, but when she heard that he was going to help her recall what happened that night, she had a bad feeling.

“…”

Fine, but why must her hand be around his neck…

Pei Huai lowered his body, his voice deep and hoarse, “that day, you drank too much. You put your arms around my neck and said that I…look like your boyfriend…”

“…”

Su Ji did not think he was lying, because that did sound like something she would say when she was drunk…

She swallowed and looked into Pei Huai’s eyes, “and?”

Her twin ponytails were scattered on the dressing table, and her beautiful face almost melted in the soft and dense hair.

“and…” Pei Huai’s brows raised slightly, and he curled his lips, “it’s easier if I show you…”

As he lowered his head, Su Ji’s mind went blank for a moment.

In the west-facing lounge, the room was hot even though it was an afternoon in autumn.

His kiss came so abruptly. Su Ji, who was still waiting for an answer a second ago, was caught off guard.

When she came back to her senses, her back was already pressed tightly against the dressing table.

The white fabric of her top was crumpled.

The familiar touch brought back Su Ji’s memories.

The dizzy scene from that night gradually overlapped with the scene in front of her.

She could even see the car lights that occasionally flashed outside the window that night.

She remembered it all at this point.

She didn’t know if it was her outfit today that had triggered Peu Huai or because she said she could dump him at any time.

Or, that she sang songs that were not suitable for children.

Pei Huai didn’t seem to be as patient as he was at the dinner party.

He pinched her chin and said in a not-so-gentle manner, “open your mouth,”

“You mother–”

In the next second, she was shut up.

Only his deep breathing was heard.

Her lips also became moist.

Su Ji tried to push his chin away, but her fingertips touched his lower jaw that was tightened from the kiss.

It was strong and sharp.

Hao Gou had taught her well. Su Ji now had the instincts of an actress. She quickly imagined that if a camera were to shoot from this angle, his jawline would look so sexy.

The viewers would definitely scream like crazy when they saw this.

The sun shone on them.

The kiss that was exposed to the sun was also getting hotter.

From outside, the sound of children’s laughter and applause could be faintly heard following the host’s voice.

It was unclear how many performances had finished.

There was a sharp pain at the corner of his lips. Pei Huai slowly let go of her and suppressed his desire to continue. He asked fiercely, “do you remember how the corner of your mouth got injured now?”

Su Ji punched him in the face.

She answered him perfectly with one move.

Pei Huai dodged and didn’t get the full blow, but his face was still a little red.

She really used all her strength.

However, not only was Pei Huai not angry, he even smiled, “with this strength, you could have pushed me away just now.”

Su Ji stood up from the dressing table and snorted, “I didn’t push you away just now because I wanted to take advantage of you.”

“It’s my honor,” Pei Huai chuckled.

“Is Su Ji inside?”

The voices of Meng Na and Pan Lian came from outside the door.

It was Shen Mu’s time to shine. “Yes, she’s inside, but the boss is talking to her. Please wait for her somewhere else.”

“Oh, what took so long?” Meng Na asked, confused, “I feel like she’s been in there for a long time.”

“Did Su Ji do something wrong?” Pan Lian was worried.

Only then did Su Ji remember that Shen Mu was still outside the door. She did not know if he had heard them just now…

But thinking back, they probably didn’t make any sound, right?

He definitely did not.

However, Shen Mu’s face was so red that it was almost the color of a pig’s liver. He was just pretending to be calm, “Ms. Su didn’t do anything wrong, don’t worry. I think they still have a lot to talk about. Please don’t wait here…”

He heard it!

He had heard everything!

There was even the sound of the legs of the dressing table rubbing against the ground.

The boss was so fierce!

As the noise outside faded away, the temperature in the lounge gradually returned to normal.

Pei Huai opened something on his phone.

In fact, he had come not only to see Su Ji’s performance, but also for another matter.

After receiving Ren Guanghua’s call in the car last time, he had asked people to investigate the company.

No matter how exciting the press conference was, normal sponsors would not want to invest at this point.

Pei Huai was a very sharp person. It turned out that the Xu Group had a special connection to Su Ji.

Pei Huai didn’t want to pry into Su Ji’s private affairs, but all the rich and powerful families in A City knew that Su Cunyi was remarried, and the current Mrs. Su was Su Ji’s stepmother.

If Su Ji did not want to talk about her family, he would not ask.

Unless she was being bullied.

However, Pei Huai felt that Su Ji still had the right to know about Xu Mingzhi’s intention to invest in “The Billion Stars”.

After all, it’s not a bad thing that Xu Mingming wanted to invest in a project that involved Su Ji.

At the very least, Su Ji wouldn’t be sad when he mentioned it.

With one hand in his pocket, Pei Huai showed Su Ji his phone, “the CEO that you mentioned the other day is your mother.”

“My mother?” At first, Su Ji did not show much emotion. After all, she was just the mother of the original owner.

However, when she took the phone and saw Xu Mingzhi’s photo, she was stunned.

Although she looked like a modern person.

But…

In just a few seconds, her eyes reddened.

Pei Huai’s body froze. He had not expected her to react like this. If he had known, he would not have shown it to her.

He had never seen Su Ji like this, and his heart ached for her. “What’s wrong? If you don’t like it, I won’t mention her anymore.”

At the thought of making her cry, the insufferably arrogant Pei Huai was at a loss.

He coaxed her gently, but Su Ji pursed her lips and tightened her jaw. She did not cry or speak.

Su Ji didn’t know what was wrong with her, but her emotions were in turmoil.

Not only did the original owner look the same as her, but even her mother looked like hers…
