Master Pei's Wife is a Devil Concubine

336 I Found Him!

Su Junye’s eyes widened.

“Wow, what a coincidence?!” He exclaimed.

He quickly messaged Drums, “is this girl good-looking?”

Drums replied, “I haven’t met her, but I think she has a lively and spicy personality. It’s a shame she already has a boyfriend. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, all the ones I’m interested in are already taken.”

Su Junye looked around. He had perfect vision and could see all the way to the entrance of the party, but he didn’t see any particularly striking girls.

He was sitting in the guest lounge area, which consisted of several large curved sofas. There was another sofa set opposite him, and behind him was another sofa that was back-to-back to the one he’s sitting on.

He looked around but didn’t look behind. Su Ji was sitting behind him, chose Diao Chan, asked Pei Huai when he would arrive, and then returned to the game interface to wait for the start of the game.

Su Junye and Drums chatted happily. Drums said the girl called her boyfriend “The Wild King” and Su Junye said she was definitely a soft and cute girl.

Drums also said that it was a rare opportunity to be on the same team as her instead of playing against her, and they had to perform well.

Su Junye replied that if he played well, the girl might be attracted to him.

The two didn’t finish their conversation when a voice came from the game, “Welcome to The King of Glory!”

Su Junye and Drums were stunned.

They had been too busy chatting and missed the window to choose their own heroes.

Su Junye: “…”

Drums: “…”

Drums was Sun Shangxiang, and Su Junye was the dwarf Luban.

How were they going to win with three squishy heroes??

But soon, Su Junye showed them how to play.

As long as they were flexible, the three of them were like human weapons.

Whenever Sun Shangxiang and Luban were surrounded by enemy troops with only a sliver of health left, Diao Chan would flash to the middle and unleash her ultimate ability, a burst of enchanting dance that not only helped them escape but also trapped one or two enemy troops.

Su Junye sat up from the sofa.

He thought Drums was exaggerating, but this girl was really amazing!

If he ever opened an e-sports company in the future, he must hire a beauty like her with a high salary!!

After one game, Su Junye and Drums were completely smitten.

They called her “little sister” sweetly, and Su Ji asked how old they were.

The two answered truthfully, and Su Ji asked them to call her “elder sister.”

They did, and their voices became sweeter and more crisp.

But when they tried to add her as a friend in the game, they were both rejected.

Su Junye messaged the team, “what do we do if we want to play again with you?”

Su Ji replied, “I’ll leave it to fate.”

They kept sending her messages, but Su Ji was looking at the message she just received.

[ ╬迩氵隹鎶gゆ:”I’m here.” ]

Su Ji sent a message to the team, “my boyfriend is here. I’m logging off.”

Su Junye was dejected. He stood up and tried to find the girl.

However, the next second, a face that brushed past him at close range almost scared him out of his wits.

Su Ji stood up to pick up Pei Huai and happened to walk past the side of his sofa.

When Su Ji saw him, she did not show any expression. She only raised her eyebrows slightly in a provocative manner.

Su Junye immediately shrank back into his sofa and shivered.

Why did he have such a scary sister when he could have a gentle sister like Diao Chan?!

On his way there, Pei Huai passed through A City’s Annual Lantern Festival, and the street was congested, but he insisted on taking that route.

Su Ji said he was too bored, but Pei Huai disagreed.

Su Ji teased him, “if you’re not bored, why are you going to that crowded place?”

Pei Huai showed her photos from his phone.

They were photos of the lights, like stars falling to earth.

Warm yellow, joyfully vibrant red, pink lotus lanterns, and even enormous boat-shaped lanterns.

Street vendors were selling sweet rice balls, sugar-coated haws, and rice cakes.

Su Ji took one look, and couldn’t take her eyes off the photos.

It reminded her of the world she used to live in.

Pei Huai knew she would like it, and if it weren’t for the party at the Xu’s tonight, he would have taken her there.

But since they couldn’t go, he took photos for her.

Su Ji picked the most beautiful one, with the most dazzling lights and saved it as her phone wallpaper.

She wanted to choose another one as her lock screen.

Pei Huai handed his phone to her and told her to take her time choosing, while he went to wash his hands. He was a germaphobe.

Next to the sink, he turned on the water and applied some disinfectant hand sanitizer to his palms. He cleaned them methodically, one finger at a time. For him, this was also a kind of therapy.

...

After drying his fingers one by one, he looked up and saw a middle-aged man standing behind him in the mirror, staring at him like he’d seen a ghost.

He didn’t know what was wrong with the man.

Luckily, Pei Huai was brave, and just gave him a cold glance, crumpled up the tissue paper, threw it into the trash can, and left.

During the time Pei Huai was away, Su Ji was surrounded by a few people asking for autographs.

Most of them were asking on their children’s behalf.

“The Billions Stars” had just aired its finale, and the buzz around Su Ji, Xu Ni, and Si Jingchuan was particularly high.

Su Ji felt that it was brave of Xu Ni to come out publicly at this time.

She had to support her.

Looking around, she saw Qin Bingjie sitting quietly on the balcony in a navy blue satin cheongsam, her black hair neatly tied up. She had delicate makeup on. She was too beautiful to ignore, but she looked out of place in the lively party.

Occasionally someone would speak to her, but she just smiled.

Her reaction to the outside world was calm, as if waiting for some kind of verdict.

...

Qin Bingjie’s gaze fell on Su Ji for half a minute, and she didn’t feel uneasy when she met her eyes. After a moment, she calmly looked away.

Su Ji followed suit and looked away.

She sent another message.

[“Everyone busier than you has already arrived, stop dawdling.” ]

The person replied instantly, “I’ll be there soon!”

At the same time, Xu Jinzhe went to his mother in a panic, “mom! Can you guess who I saw?”

“I heard that Su Ji’s boyfriend is here. Where is he?” Lu Ailian was looking for Su Ji’s boyfriend everywhere.

Xu Jinzhe said, “aiya, don’t bother about Su Ji’s boyfriend. Come with me to meet this person first!”

Lu Ailian asked, “how can I not? I have to show Su Ji that she should be with someone from the Xu family. Her boyfriend is just an employee of a private company, I don’t think his looks alone is enough!”

“Those are not important!” Xu Jinzhe was extremely emotional. I just saw CEO Pei in the washroom! We’ve always wanted to work with the Pei Corporation but I’ve been trying for more than a year and I still couldn’t meet him. Mom, you’re so amazing, you managed to get him to show up!”

“CEO Pei…?” Lu Ailian couldn’t recall that she invited him.

Did she invite him?

However, at this moment, Lu Ailian and Xu Jinzhe noticed a figure in the crowd at the same time.

The two of them said in unison, “I found him!”
