Pei Huai put his phone to his ear with one hand and calmly talked while his other hand circled around Su Ji’s waist.
Her back was pressed against the door, and his arm held her body. She was seduced by the man’s gaze in front of her.
Pei Huai seemed to know why she wanted to invite him back to the apartment.
He also had the intention to ask for a reward.
Pei Huai answered the entire phone call in a foreign language. His pronunciation was very accurate, and his voice was low and magnetic.
For Su Ji, who had transmigrated thousands of years ago, being good at foreign languages was a very sexy bonus.
Outside the door, Shen Mu instructed his assistant to pack up important documents. The sound of footsteps often passed through the corridor outside the study. Su Ji could hear it clearly through the door behind her.
She mouthed to Pei Huai, “going on a business trip?”
Her eyes were especially bright when she asked.
Pei Huai was still arranging things over the phone and did not reply to Su Ji. However, he kept looking into her eyes as if he was admiring a piece of extremely beautiful jade.
Su Ji knew that he was on an important call.
Her body was starting to heat up when she was pressed against him, but when she heard that he was going on a business trip, she cooled down again.
Since he was going on a business trip tomorrow morning, he could forget about the reward for now. He would think about it when he returned.
Su Ji wanted to break free from his restraints, but Pei Huai tightened his grip on her.
Her body was against his.
Su Ji looked at him. Pei Huai pulled out his phone and whispered into her ear, “wait for me for a while…”
That voice was extremely poisonous.
They had a tacit understanding on some things. Su Ji turned her head away, and her ears heated up uncontrollably.
The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment before continuing to report.
“Boss, everything for the business trip is ready,” Shen Mu reported through the bedroom door.
Su Ji’s heart was in a mess. The moment Pei Huai hung up the phone, he pinched her delicate chin, bent over, and kissed her…
The spacious study room instantly became stuffy.
Shen Mu waited for a minute, but the CEO did not reply.
He was silent for a moment and arranged for his assistants to leave first.
“The car will pick you up at seven tomorrow morning…”
Shen Mu deliberately emphasized the words “seven o’clock tomorrow morning”. He was worried that his CEO would miss the time.
After saying that, he waited for another minute. There was still no response, and his footsteps gradually faded away.
In the room, Su Ji’s fingers suddenly tightened, creating a messy crease on Pei Huai’s shirt.
“The business trip will last longer this time.”
About half a month.
Ever since Su Ji returned to this body, they had not been separated for so long.
After Su Ji got pregnant and broke her leg, Pei Huai had been taking care of her all this time.
It had been a long time since he had asked for a reward.
At this moment, he was kissing her, but he didn’t intend to go any further.
Su Ji pulled his tie down and tiptoed to whisper in his ear, “the child is quite sturdy.”
Pei Huai’s body stiffened.
Pei Shizhan’s project had been in preparation for a long time. After giving up the Pei family’s overseas shares, he had been busy with this matter.
In fact, in the past few months, he had already cleared most of the obstacles in the early stages. If this plan succeeded, the Pei family would enter a new era.
At that time, Pei Huai would be able to free himself and spend more time with Su Ji and their soon-to-be born child.
A project with huge returns would definitely require a lot of effort, but it was obvious that Pei Shizhan was held back by another matter. His ambitions had also stopped here. The only person he could trust now was his youngest son.
Pei Huai’s business trip this time would last for about half a month, and he would go on business trips a few more times in the future. However, it was worth it in the long run to exchange a few months of separation for more time to accompany his family in the future.
However, in case his fiancée forgot, he planned to claim the amount that could last for half a month…
Aunt Gong packed some clothes and placed his suitcase in the living room.
After she was done with all this, she took a break.
But from the study to the bedroom, the night was still long.
Su Ji made him promise that he would wake her up when he leaves the next morning
Pei Huai agreed.
However, Pei Huai did not sleep that night.
Ever since Su Ji got pregnant, Pei Huai had been celibate for a few months.
And the separation that was about to last for half a month made Pei Huai feel some parting emotions towards her.
Since the last time Su Ji suddenly returned to the Great Shang, Pei Huai did not like to separate from her.
Uneasiness was hidden in his subconscious.
The emotion was causing him to not let go of her all night.
He had to be careful of her leg injury and the baby. It seemed like there were many rules, but in reality, it didn’t seem to affect anything.
Su Ji was also very easy easy going that night. It was as if she was willing to do whatever he wanted.
She had seen those spectacular profile pictures in the trending searches and how much he cared about her.
Before Pei Huai went on his business trip, she gave him the most unforgettable night.
At five in the morning, the twilight outside the window curtains showed that there were only two hours left before Shen Mu and the rest came to pick him
up.
Su Ji did not plan to sleep. She was afraid that she would not be able to get up.
She even forced herself to take a shower and sat in front of the dressing table to tie her hair.
She glanced at the mirror. The rubber band was coiled around her fingertips. She tied her hair neatly behind her head, and Pei Huai was behind her. His short black hair was half-dry, and he looked at her without saying a word.
The thought of delaying his business trip appeared in his mind countless times throughout the night. He was like a young boy who was deeply in love and could not control his emotions.
In the end, he convinced himself to not take action.
When his fiancée was finally done packing, he carried her to sit on his lap.
He wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed his thumb on the corner of her mouth before kissing her again.
He wrapped his arms around her and got up to carry her to the bed. He let her turn around and hugged her from behind until he heard her breathing. He raised his hand and pulled the rubber band that she had painstakingly tied up, allowing her long hair to fall freely.
Su Ji slept soundly.
Shen Mu’s car arrived at seven sharp. The entire apartment was quiet. Aunt Gong had woken up, but she did not make any noise. Third Master had instructed that no one was allowed to disturb Su Ji until she woke up.
Xiao Tong and Xiao Lingxian couldn’t either.
When Shen Mu saw him, he was on the living room balcony. He guessed that he had not slept the entire night.
However, he was in good spirits and didn’t look tired.
Pei Huai asked Shen Mu for a piece of paper and then asked him to wait outside. He turned around and went back to his room, closing the door.
Pei Huai did not fulfill his promise and did not wake Su Ji up.
In fact, it was not easy to wake her up. Su Ji had already rolled herself into the blanket.
He looked at her silkworm-like face for a while, then smiled with his eyebrows lowered.
He wrote a note and left it on the bedside table. Then, he took with him the black rubber band that she used to tie her hair….
