Chapter 694: Nothing, Just a Kiss…

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After sending Su Ji back to the apartment, Pei Huai had to make another trip to the Pei family.

In the car before they parted ways, he told Su Ji that he would be back early today.

Su Ji told him to get busy and not delay his work because of her.

Pei Huai put his hand on the steering wheel and looked at her. His words were very straightforward. “There’s no choice. If I don’t see you now, I won’t be able to concentrate on my work.”

Su Ji smiled and said that he was hopeless.

However, Pei Huai’s expression was still serious. “Yes, there’s no hope.” Su Ji’s eyes darkened.

Su Ji carried the lunch box upstairs. There were quite a few dumplings left, so Aunt Cui packed some for her.

The elevator pressed the 57th floor.

She returned to the apartment and entered the house. She put one hand on the wall of the entrance and changed her shoes.

Aunt Gong’s voice came from the kitchen. She was baking a cake. “Miss Su, the dessert will be ready in a while…”

Su Ji said that she definitely could not eat anymore. She had eaten too much at

noon.

Aunt Gong wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen. She sounded worried. “Who managed to make food that filled you up?

She took the lunchbox from Su Ji’s hand and smelled the fragrance at the same time. She exclaimed, “mutton dumplings? It smelled fresh. Did you get them from a restaurant?”

“Aunt Cui made it.” Su Ji changed her shoes. “Pei Huai has the recipe.”

She walked towards the corridor. She did not go straight to the bedroom but went to Pei Huai’s study.

Zhang Guihua’s illness was quite strange. It was clearly a sign of poisoning, but there were no traces of poison in all the samples.

More importantly, there was no detectable poison in Zhang Guihua’s body…

Pei Huai was right. If something happened to Zhang Guihua, the biggest beneficiary would be that pair of twins.

She wasn’t Su Cunyi. Nothing was impossible in her eyes.

Her younger brother didn’t have the guts or brains.

So…

However, Su Qianrou had been very calm from the beginning to the end. Whether it was her words or her actions, her every move had an inexplicable sense of certainty.

It seemed that she had put in a lot of effort this time.

Interesting.

Su Ji rubbed her chin, her expression not relaxed.

According to the pulse reading yesterday, if she could not find the crux of the problem, Zhang Guihua would not last for a month.

“Kaka!” Pei Yuanyang flapped her wings and flew to the office desk to let her mommy see her beautiful feathers after a bath.

“Be good.” Su Ji reached out to tickle its chin. Her gaze fell on the wall opposite her.

Pei Huai’s study was very similar to the Pei family’s study. Behind the desk was a wall of bookshelves. It was spectacular. Books were densely packed all the way to the ceiling.

The books that were brought to the apartment were either books that he read often or extremely precious and collectible books.

The last time Pei Song brought his girlfriend over, they were not allowed to come into this room.

Some ancient books were hundreds or thousands of years old. To exaggerate, they were afraid of shattering into ashes with a touch.

Usually, Aunt Gong had to be very careful when cleaning.

Those books looked ordinary, but they recorded almost lost medical techniques and theories. They were beautiful and elegant.

It was a true treasure vault.

Countless people had come because of these books, but without exception, they were all rejected.

Pei Huai would not exchange it for ten thousand gold.

No one could get it except for one person, and that’s Su Ji.

Su Ji took out a book from inside. As she took it out, she saw something floating on the ground from the corner of her eye.

She picked it up and found a small part of the book cover that had been ripped off.

She was silent for a moment before putting the fragment into her pajama pocket.

Su Ji took the ancient medicine back to her bedroom to study it.

Aunt Gong made food for Pei Yuanyang according to Pei Huai’s recipe. She weighed it and accidentally poured a little too much. She had to scoop it back with a spoon. After it was done, she poured it into Pei Yuanyang’s small rice bowl.

“Kaka!”

She poked her head into the rice bowl and ate.

Beside it, Su Ji leaned against the headboard and read the ancient medical book with a serious expression.

Aunt Gong carefully asked her if she wanted to eat fruit, but Su Ji’s gaze did not s.h.i.+ft away from the book. “Later. I’ll wait for Pei Huai to come back.”

Three hours later, Pei Huai returned to the apartment.

Pei Yuanyang was full and had already fallen asleep.

When Aunt Gong took the coat, she reported that Ms. Su was still reading in the bedroom. She had been reading since she came back. It had been three hours and she had barely moved.

Pei Huai said that he understood, and Aunt Gong left to prepare the fruits.

The main light in the bedroom was not turned on, so Su Ji was focused on reading. Later, when it was dark, she casually turned on a bedside lamp.

Reading under this kind of light was not good for the eyes.

Pei Huai did not say anything to disturb her. He turned on the main light for her and adjusted the brightness to the most comfortable level for her eyes. After confirming it, he put the remote control aside.

Su Ji did not seem to notice him and did not react to her surroundings.

A few b.u.t.tons on his s.h.i.+rt were unb.u.t.toned, his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and his tie was pulled open and draped over his neck.

After feeling the silence behind him for a while, he could not help but turn around to look at Su Ji. At this moment, she was placing the book on her knees. Her fingertips were touching her red lips, and from time to time, she would press and rub them. Her pink lips were perky.

Pei Huai stared at her lips for a while, his eyes darkening.

He threw his tie aside and sat by the bed, his strong arms supporting Su Ji’s bent legs.

“What are you thinking about?”

Su Ji asked, “what do you think it is if it’s not poison?”

However, Pei Huai’s attention was not on her question.

Ever since he met Zhou Zicheng at the police station and came back, his girl had started to behave strangely.

Zhang Guihua’s matter wasn’t enough to make her forget to eat and sleep. So, what was she hiding?

Su Ji was still thinking about something when his lips covered hers.

It was the kind of kiss that slowly went deep. He held the back of her neck with his hand and rubbed the thin flesh on her neck.

He savored her.

Su Ji was like a frog that was slowly being boiled in warm water. Before she could react, she was already hot.

Her hand wrapped around his neck, and her head was forced to lean back.

Pei Huai knelt on one knee on the bed and unb.u.t.toned the rest of his s.h.i.+rt.

Then, Su Ji fell on the bed and reached into his clothes. Only then did she snap back to her senses!

No, wasn’t she asking him about something just now???

She placed her hands on his shoulders and pushed him away forcefully. Her peach blossom eyes were wide open. “What…are you doing?”

Pei Huai looked down at her. His clothes were unb.u.t.toned, and his blood had already reached his neck. The blood vessels on the side of his neck pulsated with his heartbeat.

He looked at her in the eyes, his breathing slightly chaotic.

Su Ji was able to push him away just now because he was restraining himself. “Nothing.” He touched Su Ji’s chin and stepped out of bed. “I just wanted to kiss you..”
