Chapter 216 - 216 A Trip to Country T

216 A Trip to Country T

“Did you hear that? The CEO is asking why you’re here…”

The receptionist was eager to push the blame away. At first, she didn’t realize it and tried to make it difficult for Su Ji.

But halfway through her words, she realized that something was wrong.

The CEO’s tone…

And the way he looked at her…

Their faces suddenly dropped.

Could this girl really be his girl-…

The other executives looked at Su Ji.

They had been with the CEO for a few hours, but they had never seen him pat anyone’s head or speak to anyone in such a pampering tone.

It was obvious that they had a very close relations.h.i.+p.

CEO w.a.n.g had suffered a loss at Su Ji’s hands the last time, so he had learnt his lesson.

Based on his tone and actions just now, he knew that he was Su Ji.

After the incident at the clubhouse, the Pei Corporation’s executives had come to a consensus that as long as the CEO treated someone so well, that person, regardless of whether they were male or female, must be Su Ji!

Even if it was just a kitten, it would still be Su Ji!

Because other than Su Ji, the CEO would never show such an expression to any other carbon-based being!

Pei Huai’s eyes slowly turned to the two receptionists. He said, “CEO w.a.n.g, there’s nothing wrong with the factory’s a.s.sembly line, but it’s time to change the receptionists.”

The receptionists trembled and looked at CEO w.a.n.g, hoping that he would plead for them.

However, he quickly went forward with a smile. “I’ll replace them right away!”

He must please Ms. Su no matter what.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Su Ji took off her hat, mask, and sungla.s.ses. She pulled up the part.i.tion between the front seat and the back seat, blocking the smiling and gossipy driver’s view.

She looked at Pei Huai and went straight to the point.

She said in an extremely serious and sincere tone, “Pei Huai, it’s your birthday the day after tomorrow. Happy birthday in advance.”

Pei Huai raised an eyebrow.

There were a few seconds of silence in the car.

Pei Huai did not say anything, but Su Ji could tell that he was happy.

It was obvious that he was just trying to restrain himself.

Su Ji knew that she had not come in vain.

Seeing him happy, she seemed to be even happier than she expected.

Pei Huai didn’t expect Su Ji to know his birthday. He laughed and helped her tidy her hair. “You came all the way here just to wish me a happy birthday?”

Su Ji replied, “yeah. I’m flying to Country T in the afternoon to film for a few days. I won’t be able to spend your birthday with you, so I’m wis.h.i.+ng you in advance.”

Pei Huai’s smile instantly disappeared.

Who arranged the filming schedule?

Su Ji could tell that he was disappointed.

The people who were celebrating their birthdays were the most important.

Su Ji tried to coax him, “it’s really too unfortunate. This morning, they informed us that we would be going overseas for a few days for filming and that we would only be back on Thursday night. I really wanted to spend your birthday with you.”

Pei Huai narrowed his eyes slightly and crossed his long legs to change into a more comfortable sitting position. “So, if you don’t have to go, you would plan something for me?”

He didn’t have the habit of celebrating his birthday. In the past, he would spend his birthday at work. If his family didn’t mention it, he wouldn’t remember it at all.

However, Su Ji’s wish surprised him.

Once he had a taste of it, he wanted more.

“Yeah, birthday is an important event in life. Besides, it’s your 30th birthday, so you should celebrate it properly.” Su Ji still doted on her boyfriend. After all, he was her first boyfriend.

She wouldn’t be so patient with the second and third one.

???

Su Ji hugged him to comfort him. “If I don’t have to go abroad, I will definitely accompany you. But I have to.”

“Yeah…” Pei Huai smiled understandingly. “What time is your flight?”

“Two in the afternoon,” Su Ji replied.

Well, it’s the thought that matters.

She looked at the time and asked, “can you send me home? My schedule is tight.”

Pei Huai smiled. “Of course.”

Then, he gestured for the driver to start driving.

…

The car stopped in front of Su Ji’s house. Pei Huai lowered the car window and said, “be careful. I’ll wait for you to come back.”

Su Ji waved at the birthday boy with a bright smile. “Happy birthday.”

When she got home, Xu Minghi had also heard that she was going abroad in the afternoon.

So she rushed back from the company.

It was her daughter’s first time flying abroad. As a mother, she was worried.

“Why so sudden?” Xu Mingzhi followed her upstairs to pack. “Fortunately, T Country isn’t too far away. It’s only a three or four-hour flight, and the weather is quite warm…”

Xu Mingzhi told her about the local customs of country T and reminded her with a smile, “baby, there are some places there that have special performances. If it doesn’t suit you, don’t go.”

Su Ji nodded.

They were there to film, so they probably didn’t have time to go sight-seeing.

Su Ji didn’t like to pack, so she suggested taking a backpack and leaving immediately, but Xu Mingzhi and Aunt Wu her idea.

In the crew’s group chat, Huang Huayu had already sent the specific flight number and time.

Su Ji glanced at it and kept her phone.

Seeing that they had already started to help her pack her luggage, she took her brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. She calculated the time and decided that the live calligraphy lesson would start by then.

Xu Minghi opened the closet and helped her find clothes that were suitable for her to wear there.

The painting in the corner of the cabinet caught Su Ji’s attention.

It was the painting of Pei Huai in an ancient costume.

If her mother saw this, she would definitely misunderstand.

“It’s over 20 degrees there. I will pack you some clothes for spring. This one is too short. There are too many mosquitoes there.”

Su Ji took the painting away and hid it behind her back while her mother was focused on choosing her clothes.

She looked around and couldn’t find a good place to hide the painting. She put the painting in the suitcase before Aunt Wu finished packing.

Xu Mingzhi was too busy to notice her actions.

Aunt Wu chuckled.

Downstairs, Pei Huai’s car didn’t leave immediately. Instead, it stopped there for a while.

The window of her bedroom was open, and the faint sound of a mother and daughter talking and laughing could be heard.

He pressed the phone to his ear.

Shen Mu’s energetic voice came from the other end of the phone. “Boss, what can I do for you?”

Pei Huai looked at the window on the second floor and said, “clear my schedule from today afternoon until Thursday.”
