Master Pei’s Wife is a Devil Concubine

337 A Problem that Can’t be Solved Even When One is an Adult

When Pei Huai walked towards Su Ji, both Lu Ailian and Xu Jinzhe saw him at the same time. They walked forward together.

“Su Ji’s boyfriend, you’re not too busy with work today?”

“CEO Pei, what brings you to this modest party?”

Both spoke at the same time, and both seemed stunned, as if they hadn’t heard what the other had said.

The next second, Pei Huai walked up to Su Ji, barely noticing the two of them. He lifted his chin slightly and looked at Su Ji’s white dress, his eyes looked dark and deep.

He was focused on showing her the photos on his phone and didn’t pay attention to what she was wearing. It was a slightly sexy deep V-neck bodycon dress.

Xu Jinzhe was the first to react. He turned to Lu Ailian and shook his head in confusion. “Who did you say he was?”

Lu Ailian was even more confused. She looked as if she had been struck by lightning. “Son, what did you call him? How could he be CEO Pei? He’s obviously Su Ji’s boyfriend?”

Her tone was too shocked, and Su Ji noticed it.

Su Ji glanced at the two stunned people and shrugged. “What’s the problem? He’s my boyfriend and also CEO Pei. There’s no conflict, is there?”

Lu Ailian slowly looked at Su Ji. She knew there was no conflict, but…

“Su Ji, didn’t you say your boyfriend works in a private company?”

Su Ji looked at Pei Huai for confirmation. “Pei Corporation…is not a state-owned enterprise, right?”

Pei Huai put his hand in his pocket and kept his gaze on her dress. He said softly, “listed multinational corporation.”

L uwas dumbfounded. She felt it was ridiculous that she wanted to matchmake Su Ji with her grandson earlier, and when she thought of how Zhang Guihua had boasted about her granddaughter’s boyfriend…

Xu Jinzhe felt regretful. If he had known that CEO Pei was Su Ji’s boyfriend and she had been coming to their house every day, he wouldn’t have stayed in the hospital for so many days. It was a waste of an opportunity!

When Pei Huai saw the two standing there frozen, he said coldly, “may I speak to my girlfriend alone?”

He emphasized the word “alone.”

The two suddenly woke up.

“Of course, please!”

“Please go ahead!”

Then they left as quickly as possible.

In the 3 seconds of quietness, Pei Huai reached out and pulled the sides of her dress to the center, but her sides were even more exposed now.

Pei Huai’s face darkened. “What is this outfit?”

Su Ji’s snow-white skin shimmered in the light. “Is it not pretty?”

Pei Huai said, “it’s ugly.”

Su Ji smiled. “So should I take it off now?”

Pei Huai didn’t want to argue with her. He took off his suit jacket and put it over her shoulder. Thinking about how many people had already seen her in this dress before he arrived, he was annoyed. Su Ji adjusted the jacket and said in annoyannce, “I bought it with Xu Ni. We won’t look like a couple…I mean sisters, if I cover it up…”

“What does that have to do with me?”

“I guess it doesn’t…”

Pei Huai took her to a corner with less people.

After about 10 minutes, Si Jingchuan arrived.

Before he came in, he had heard from the reception that today was the Xu family’s young master’s coming-of-age party. He had a bad feeling in his heart, but since he was already here, he still came in.

As soon as he entered, he saw his boss in the dining area.

He waved his hand and walked over to her. He greeted Pei Huai first, then asked Su Ji why she asked him to come.

Su Ji replied, “didn’t I tell you? I’ll help you untie the knot in your heart.

Si Jingchuan took a step closer to her and avoided Pei Huai as he asked her in a low voice, “how did you know that it has anything to do with…Xu Ni?”

He didn’t hide anything in front of his boss. He had thought it through. Everyone was equal when it came to love, and he had to follow his heart!

He had acted in a lot of movies and interacted with a lot of people, but he had never had the feeling he felt that day.

For the past two days, he had been staying at home and did not accept a single job. Whenever he closed his eyes, he would see Xu Ni in that white nightdress.

He was simply possessed.

Earlier that day, he had even told Wen Man about it. Wen Man burst into tears upon hearing it. Si Jingchuan knew then that his mother would probably be able to accept it.

The key now was what Xu Ni thought.

Would she be able to accept it? He was a man after all…

At the same time, Lu Ailian and Xu Jinzhe were standing on the stage at the front of the reception.

Qin Bingjie stood beside them, her eyes lowered.

All the lights shone on them, and the guests stopped drinking. They paused their conversation, and looked at them.

There was usually a wedding in this reception hall, and the long runway was connected to the backstage where Lu Ailian and the others were standing.

At this moment, a flannel curtain hung down from a high place, leading to the backstage, which was somewhat mysterious.

Lu Ailian’s face was full of joy. “Thank you for coming. Today is my grandson Xu Ni’s coming-of-age ceremony. As the future heir of the Xu family, I would like to introduce him to you!”

Zhang Guihua grabbed her grandson who was still playing games. Aunt Cui stood beside her, holding the coming-of-age gift for Lu Ailian’s grandson.

It was an expensive razor.

The women from the Calligraphy Association gathered around, preparing to congratulate him.

They were all a group of old conservative elders who valued men over women. Zhang Guihua said, “grandsons aren’t like granddaughters. You have to organize your grandson’s coming-of-age ceremony well.”

The others also agreed, and Lu Ailian beamed with joy.

Xu Jinzhe disagreed with his mother’s point of view. He was usually unwilling to go against the elderly, but today, so many old ladies had gathered together and blatantly talked about the difference between men and women. He was afraid that the other guests would laugh at him, so he whispered, “sons and daughters are the same. Don’t be like this, madams. You’ll make those who have granddaughters feel bad.”

To his surprise, Lu Ailian retorted, “it’s their problem that they can’t have a grandson.”

A few guests who were closer to them heard it and made a face.

Su Ji and the others stood a bit further away.

Pei Huai had no interest in anyone’s coming-of-age ceremony. He stood at the side with his arm around Su Ji’s waist, handling some things on his phone. Occasionally, when he needed to answer a call, he would walk further away.

Si Jingchuan flicked his hair in frustration. Boss had brought him to Xu Ni’s coming-of-age ceremony and said that he would help him untie the knot in his heart, but…

“Boss, I…the problem between me and Xu Ni…it’s not something that can be solved even when he’s an adult…”

It was a problem with their genders!

“I know,” Su Ji touched his shoulder and comforted him. “But after today, you will have no more worries.”

Si Jingchuan looked at Su Ji and tried to understand what she meant. A few minutes later, he seemed to have realized something. “Boss, Xu Ni won’t do it in front of all the guests tonight, right…”

Su Ji was about to nod when Si Jingchuan quickly added, “he’s going to come out of the closet?”

Su Ji rolled her eyes and couldn’t be bothered to explain.

At this moment, the curtains that led from the stage to the backstage were pulled open from both sides. The lights followed, and the music also changed.

Xu Ni had appeared in her best attire!
