Chapter 968 - 968: I Still Had Mercy
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
That afternoon, Su Ji was woken up by the sun.
Where the sunlight shone, the cream-white blanket was so bright that it reflected light.
She suddenly sat up on the bed. Looking at the light outside the window, she knew that Pei Huai had already left.
The next moment, she turned sideways to touch her phone. Her leg that was in a cast was fine, but other parts of her body felt like they had been run over repeatedly by a car. The pain hit her.
The dots in her mind connected with a snap. All the memories from last night to midnight surged into her mind, including the fragmented images of her sitting in front of the dressing table around five o’clock this morning.
Pei Huai did not wake her up.
Looking at the time on his phone, Su Ji lay back on the bed as if she had fallen apart.
Pei Huai was already on the plane and had flown out of the country. He was very far away from her.
She turned sideways and buried her face into the pillow that Pei Huai had laid on.
Pei Huai’s unique smell could even instantly speed up her heartbeat. “Ms. Su Ji, should I prepare breakfast now?”
Aunt Gong’s familiar and gentle voice came from outside the door. Su Ji called out, “sure! Thank you, Aunt Gong!”
Her throat was as hoarse as sawn wood, and she was shocked by herself.
Aunt Gong’s footsteps left.
Su Ji, who was curled up under the blanket, sent Pei Huai a WeChat message, asking him why he didn’t wake her up and made her sleep until now.
There was a signal receiver on the private plane, so she received a reply very quickly.
Pei Huai, “I want you to sleep a little longer. You woke up too early.”
Su Ji typed on her phone.
[ “Early? It’s already 10 0’clock.” ]
[ “You slept at 5:20.” ] Then, there was another sound.
[ “It seems that I still have mercy.” ]
Su Ji felt that he was not speaking human language. She couldn’t think of a reply.
[ “Go sleep a little longer.” ]
[ “I’m going to have a meeting. I’ll message you when I land.
Su Ji pursed her lips.
She slept for a few hours, but Pei Huai probably did not sleep at all.
The people of the Great Shang once said that she sucked men’s energy.
It was not completely unreasonably.
[ “You should rest for a while after the meeting.” ] Pei Huai agreed, but Su Ji was not sure if he would do it.
Just like how he agreed to wake her up.
[ “I left you something. Take a look.” ] Su Ji’s eyes lit up.
She sat up again and turned around to look.
She rummaged under both pillows but couldn’t find anything. Then, she draped a blanket over her shoulders and went into the bathroom.
As she was searching, the blanket on her shoulder slid down. She glanced at the mirror from the corner of her eye and her expression froze.
She turned around and faced the big, bright mirror in the bathroom. She slowly opened the blanket with both hands.
She recalled the WeChat message and looked at the red and purple bites on her body.
Could this be what he left for her…
The corners of Su Ji’s mouth twitched slightly for a while before she wrapped herself up tightly with the blanket again.
However, she soon realized that she had misunderstood.
She saw it after coming out of the bathroom.
A wooden cane stood at the head of the bed.
The patterns were very exquisite, and the wood wax sealing paint was purely handmade. The materials were rare, and the craftsmanship was superb. Su Ji could tell.
She remembered the dust-proof paper on the balcony yesterday.
She tried it out and found that it was completely custom-made for her.
There was also a note beside it.
He had a message for her.
It wasn’t a love letter.
He only wrote two words in his usual commanding tone.
[ “Miss me.” ]
Su Ji pressed the note to her lips.
Pei Huai seemed to be the key to suppressing the cold weather. The moment he left, the cold came. The weather station issued a low temperature warning for three days. The citizens of A City were guessing that the first snow of the year might come early.
Last year, Su Ji watched the first snow with Pei Huai. Pei Huai caught a cold and Su Ji personally made him a soup.
Su Ji still remembered how virtuous she was that day.
“Qingqiu Tactics” was already at the tenth episode. The netizens were amazed by the wonderful plot, and they were driven by the plot to feel their own emotions.
The internet was speculating that the television series that would be broadcasted in rotation during the winter and summer holidays had finally been refreshed!
Su Ji appeared in the second episode, and the viewership ratings reached a new high.
Nan Miaomiao was busy. She kicked the back of her head every day and had no time to care about her unlucky boyfriend.
[ “Master Huai’s largest harem” ] was still active.
A member of the group of rich women ran into Pei Huai at a high-end club when they were shopping in Continent O. She was so excited that she secretly took hundreds of photos and sent them to the group. Moreover, through the gradually distancing and unfocused lenses in those photos, it could be seen that she had been discovered and taken away by their “husband’s” bodyguards. However, this did not stop her from pressing the shutter.
Hundreds of messages instantly appeared in the group. His wives were excited! Before going to bed at night, it was time for Su Ji to video call Pei Huai as usual.
It had been like this every night for the past few days.
No matter what time it was in Continent O or whether Pei Huai was attending a social gathering or a meeting, Su Ji would receive the video call invitation on time.
The background of today’s video was in the hotel study. Pei Huai was holding his phone on a stand,
Before the business trip, he asked Shen Mu to prepare a phone stand.
He heard that it would make him more photogenic.
Pei Huai looked at Su Ji, who had already taken a shower and changed into her pajamas,” Xiao Tong is sleeping outside?”
Su Ji smiled and called Xiao Tong over. After a series of small steps, the sound of small claws scratching the door could be heard.
Pei Huai nodded in satisfaction.
Under the light, the girl’s peach blossom eyes were moving. She was very photogenic. No matter what angle it was, she could easily make his heart flutter.
His gaze swept across the two red marks on the girl’s fair swan neck. Pei Huai said goodnight in a deep voice.
A few seconds later, Su Ji replied, “goodnight, Pei Huai.”
The video was cut off.
Then, the moment the screen went black, a head popped out from behind Su Ji. Nan Miaomiao and Cao Zhuzhu didn’t dare to breathe too loudly. It was so hard to hide!
The quiet master bedroom suddenly became lively.
Su Ji fished out a large tray from under the bed. The top layer was filled with snacks and desserts, and the bottom layer was filled with drinks. Of course, she only drank non-alcoholic drinks.
When Pei Huai was around, no one would dare to eat snacks in his sleeping place. If a little bit of crumbs fell, it would be very tragic.
But now…he’s not here!
The sisters finally had the chance to organize a girls’ night at Su Ji’s place.
Nan Miaomiao excitedly held a bottle of champagne, grabbed the bottle opener, and pulled it hard.
With a pop, the refreshing bubbles quickly rose up.
It was like the sound of fireworks announcing the official start of their
nightlife!
