Chapter 681: It Would Be a Waste to Let Them Expire...

Xu Mingzhi looked at her daughter and stopped for half a minute. In the end, she couldn’t get angry.

She walked over with the box and placed it on the dining table. She did not say what it was and glanced at the pastries on the plate. “Do you usually eat this?” Aunt Gong suddenly became nervous.

“No,” Su Ji explained. “This is for the afternoon. I had three dishes for lunch.”

Xu Mingzhi: Su Ji added, “Pei Huai made them.”

Xu Mingzhi:

After a few seconds of silence, she confirmed it calmly. “He cooked for you?”

Su Ji nodded and said that he did it every day.

Xu Mingzhi asked, “is it edible?”

“Of course.” Su Ji leaned back in her chair. “Do you think I’ve put on weight these days?”

Xu Mingzhi sized her up and saw that she had gained some weight, although not much.

There was nothing more important than her baby’s good health. The fact that Su Ji had gained some weight made her happy.

The empress dowager’s expression softened a little.

Su Ji gave Aunt Gong a look and told her to go back to work.

Then, she put the remaining half-cooked cheese into her mouth and got up to hold Xu Mingzhi’s arm. “Let me show you around?” n.(o).v-.E--l//b(/I).n

Xu Mingzhi raised her chin and gestured for her to lead the way.

Su Ji did not explain why she said she was going to stay with the Pei family but ended up staying alone with Pei Huai. Xu Mingzhi did not ask either.

Why else?

She was already at this age, so there was no need to ask.

Xu Mingzhi was quite satisfied with their living environment. However, after looking through all the rooms, she sneered, “this house is quite strange.” “What’s strange?” Su Ji frowned.

Xu Mingzhi said, “there are so many rooms, but only one room has a bed?”

If she hadn’t said it, Su Ji wouldn’t have thought about it.

“Maybe all apartments are like this?”

Xu Mingzhi looked at her daughter and shook her head. “Silly girl.”

“How are the neighbors?” “Pei Song owns the unit downstairs.”

“I see.” Xu Mingzhi nodded.

The two of them walked around and returned to the living room. Su Ji picked out a pastry and fed it to Xu Mingzhi.

Xu Mingzhi lowered her chin and looked at it. After hesitating for a second, she opened her mouth and ate it. She chewed.

She narrowed her eyes.

The taste was not bad.

“Don’t worry, mom.” Su Ji leaned against the dining table lazily. “I’ll be back in a few days.”

Xu Mingzhi was annoyed. “Don’t. I’m living quite well on my own.”

She didn’t stay for too long, half an hour at most. She didn’t even sit down. There were quite a lot of things waiting for her at the office.

Su Ji sent her out and noticed the square box on the table from the corner of her eye. “Your things...”

Xu Mingzhi waved her hand before she could finish. “I bought them for you.”

“You got me presents?” Su Ji interrupted with a smile. “Pei Huai will definitely be happy to know.”

Xu Mingzhi scoffed. “I hope he’s happy.” su Ji:

“Madam is leaving so soon?” Aunt Gong heard the door open and came out of the kitchen. “Stay for dinner. I’ll be done soon.”

Xu Mingzhi said it’s okay, opened the door, and left immediately.

After the door closed again, Su Ji spun the pastry in her hand and looked back at the heavy mysterious box.

When Madam Xu said that last sentence just now, her tone was quite mysterious.

Aunt Gong followed her gaze and noticed it. “This is a gift from Madam Xu to you and Third Master, right? Let me open it for you.”

With that, she untied the rope on the box.

Just as she was about to remove the lid, Su Ji’s eyelids froze as if she had suddenly thought of something.

“No...

However, Aunt Gong did not have time to stop. She had already opened the box. Moreover, because of Su Ji’s sudden voice, her hand that was opening the lid trembled and accidentally knocked over the box.

“Crash! ”

In an instant, many colorful square packets with all kinds of flavors were scattered on the table.

Su Ji’s body suddenly stopped, and the small pastry in her hand fell to the ground. It even bounced a few times on the ground.

Aunt Gong:

Before she could react, Su Ji had already put all the small square packets back into the box and carried the box back into the room as fast as she could.

The door closed with a bang.

Aunt Gong knew that Ms. Su probably wouldn’t come out until night time.

She was going to leave, but she realized that she was stepping on something.

She bent down and picked it up.

Oh.

Cranberry flavored...

In the master bedroom, Su Ji received Pei Huai’s WeChat message at 5 0’clock in the evening.

[ “I have to work overtime today. Eat dinner early. Don’t wait for me.” ]

Su Ji glanced at it and replied.

[ “Sure.” ]

The phone was thrown back onto the table.

She was sitting beside the study table with a medical book in her hand. She had been reading it for the entire afternoon and had only just finished the first chapter.

Her gaze would unconsciously drift to the box next to her.

How did she pack all of that into the box?

If she stuffed everything back in now, the box would not even close.

What kind of person could use up so much?

She casually grabbed a handful and looked at it.

No wonder there were so many.

There were all kinds of sizes.

It would be a waste if she let them expire...

Su Ji closed her eyes and opened them again. Coincidentally, she saw the book on the table again. “The Wild History of Concubine Su and the 108 Princes.”

She couldn’t help but take it out of the bookshelf. Now that she was reading this book again, her mood was different from before.

Because now she knew that Pei Huai was Prince Huai.

She followed the table of contents and flipped to the chapters on Concubine Su and Prince Huai.

[ “Prince Huai is eight feet tall, has broad shoulders, and is very powerful...” ]

[ “The tendons on the back of his hand bulged. The face of the demon concubine Su was extremely red. She wondered what it would feel like to be in his arms?” ] su Ji:

How did it feel to be in his arms?

Su Ji thought she would just laugh it off, but half an hour later, she finished reading the chapter.

Especially the part where the bed collapsed, it really made her face turn red!

The point was that the book kept mentioning her and Prince Huai’s names, and it was too easy for her to feel like she was there.

Not only was her face red, but her entire body was gradually burning up.

At this moment, her phone vibrated again.

She picked it up and saw that it was a notification.

“An X-rated book publishing company has just been ransacked. The amount of money involved is huge, and more than a million books related to the Huang

Dynasty were destroyed...” ]

Below the news feed was a few images of the books. Su Ji glanced at it.

It was exactly the same as the one in her hand!
