The two families had not gathered for a long time.
Xu Mingzhi had even called Si Ke over. Coincidentally, he had a social engagement today. However, Wen Man knew that her husband was just pretending to have a social engagement. He was obviously jealous after Imowing that Su Ji had registered her marriage with CEO Pei.
It had already been a year since their son became Su Ji’s underling, but her husband was still thinking about making her his daughter-in-law.
Wen Man was too lazy to talk to him, so she asked him again if he was going to the Xu family. Si Ke insisted that he was not going and wanted to wait for her to persuade him again. In the end, Wen Man took her son and got into the car. Before she left, she even gave their chef a holiday, so tonight…the Si family didn’t have a chef…
By the time Si Ke realized that his chef had already returned home from work, Si Ke, who had to think of dinner, was standing at the door, drifting in the wind.
Ever since she became friends with CEO Xu, his wife had changed. She was no longer the gentle kitten that would come over to coax him whenever he was unhappy!
Yang Bilian hurriedly brought the fruit platter to the table. Su Ji happened to come out of the bathroom, accompanied by Pei Huai. Everyone in the room immediately looked at the male and female protagonists.
No matter how one looked at it, the two of them looked very compatible when they stood together.
“Pei Huai,” Xu Mingzhi smiled and said, “I asked Chef Yang to wash the lychees that you sent over. Come and have a taste.”
Pei Huai nodded and sat down with his arm around Su Ji’s shoulder.
Su Ji tasted one and Pei Huai asked how it was.
Lychee Manor’s new species would be the main product next year. It was watered with snow and only matured in winter. Compared to ordinary species, it was sweeter and more fragrant. The juice was also more abundant. Of course, it was delicious.
The reason why Pei Huai spent so much effort to cultivate a lychee that could ripen in winter was so that his wife could eat lychees that were in season all year round.
It was not difficult to eat lychees all year round, but it was not so easy to eat lychees in season.
“It’s exceptionally sweet.” Su Ji smiled.
Pei Huai’s eyes were deep and his smile was gentle.
Even though she was pregnant, the girl was still as wild and seductive as when they first met. There was a wild nature about her that made people unable to control her Thig was very conflicting with Pei Hilai’s desire to control her
However, the more conflicting it was, the more one could not stop and fell into it.
The Xu Corporation also wanted to have this technology. Xu Mingzhi had just finished discussing the collaboration with her son-in-law.
“Is it really that delicious?” Si Jingchuan reached out to take it, but he was too far away to reach it. Su Ji casually forked one and brought it to his mouth. Si Jingchuan was flattered and ate it.
He was about to chew it with a happy expression…suddenly, he noticed a cold gaze not far away from him.
Boss’ man was looking at him. Although he was smiling, his smile made the back of his head turn cold!
The strong desire to live made Si Jingchuan open his mouth before he could think.
The lychee in his mouth fell to the ground.
“What?” Su Ji asked.
Si Jingchuan smiled insincerely. “Uh…l think I’ll eat it myself, boss!”
“Oh,” Su Ji said and handed the entire plate of lychees to him.
Pei Huai retracted his gaze.
Si Jingchuan held the carrot-shaped phoenix fruit platter and wiped his sweat as if he had just survived a disaster.
Yang Bilian looked at the few people who were chatting enthusiastically, but he couldn’t find a chance to speak.
Su Ji noticed his uneasy expression. “Do you have something to tell us?”
Hearing his daughter’s voice, Xu Mingzhi turned her attention to Yang Bilian. Yang Bilian quickly told them about his daughter. Xu Mingzhi looked at the time.
As Yang Bilian was there she asked Aunt Wu to take a break to go out on a date with Uncle He. She did not mind helping him, but the Wen family had already arrived.
Yang Bilian explained embarrassedly, “Madam Xu, don’t worry. I’ll leave after I finish my work today. I won’t be delayed.”
“If that’s the case,” Xu Mingzhi said, “then there’s no time.”
Yang Bilian:
“Master Yang, don’t forget to calculate the travel time. It’ll take at least 40 minutes to drive from here to your house.” Yang Bilian’s expression froze.
Yeah, how could he have forgotten about this!
Wen Man suggested that they could order, and Si Jingchuan said that he knew a pretty good restaurant.
This made Yang Bilian even more embarrassed. He couldn’t afford to lose his reputation just to be a guest for his daughter’s tasting.
Su Ji suddenly spoke up.
Pei Huai stopped the coffee cup in his hand and looked at his wife.
A sly glint flashed across Su Ji’s eyes.. “Actually, if it’s just to be a food tester, it doesn’t have to be you…”
