Chapter 153: An Embarrassing Situation

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Hope he doesn’t mind.

After dinner, Su Ji suddenly remembered something.

If the neighbor saw the book, wouldn’t they know it was from them?

She should have put it in a plastic bag before throwing it away, then it wouldn’t have been so troublesome.

“Aunt Wu, give me the trash. I’ll take it out.”

The chubby Aunt Wu paused, “ah, thank you, miss!”

“You’re welcome,” Su Ji smiled, “oh right, give me another garbage bag.”

“Alright, miss.”

Then, she went out.

“…”

The book was gone!

And she was very sure that the people who cleaned the garbage truck had not come.

The few bags of trash that had been under the book were still there, but the book was missing.

Su Ji slowly turned. The lights on the second floor of the neighbor’s house were on.

There was a figure sitting in front of the window, seemingly flipping through a book.

She narrowed her eyes and turned around to return to her room.

As long as she wasn’t embarrassed.

They didn’t know each other anyway.

Back in the room, Xu Mingzhi was reviewing the contract in the study, while Su Ji was sitting in the living room, occasionally glancing at the trash can outside the window.

On the phone, she added Yang Xiaotao into her friends’ group chat.

[ Meng Na: “Really? Director Song is so shameless? Isn’t that a violation of workplace policy? ]

[ Pan Lian: “Baby, is your head still bleeding? Quick, take a picture and show us!” ]

[ Yang Xiaotao: “I’ve seen scummy ex-boyfriends, but I’ve never seen one like him! Director Song had definitely reached the peak of a*sholeness! I really hope that Su Qianrou gets together with him. Otherwise, there will be two innocent people in this world who will be hurt!!” ]

Every exclamation mark represented her anger.

[ Su Ji: “The first episode of ‘The Billions Stars’ is about to be aired. We’ll talk about it later.” ]

[ Meng Na: “Right. They just changed the second female lead. If they change the director before the episode is aired, it will definitely affect the ratings.” ]

[ Pan Lian: “The first episode is about what happened to the male lead three years ago, so our baby will be the main character. We must make sure the ratings are high. In the second episode, Xuefang will be the main character.” ]

[ Yang Xiaotao: “Yeah, I almost forgot.” ]

However, this was not the reason why Su Ji did not say anything.

[ Su Ji: “Let him continuing dreaming for two more days.” ]

The more beautiful the dream, the more one cries when one wakes up.

The group was chatting happily when the dialog box showed that there was a new message.

Su Ji left the chatroom. Pei Huai had sent her a message.

[ “Come to the neighbor’s house.” ]

???

Why did it sound like she was getting reprimanded?

Su Ji had a very bad feeling.

[ Pei Huai: “If you don’t, I’ll go over.” ]

Su Ji’s eyebrows twitched. She told herself that he had only moved next door and had not seen the book.

The next second…

[ Pei Huai: “I’ll come with the book.” ]

Su Ji was speechless.

When she went downstairs, she noticed that Xu Mingzhi was still on the phone in the study.

She was now preparing to move the main company back to China, so she would be very busy for a while.

Su Ji informed Aunt Wu and quickly went downstairs. To save time, she did not use the door but crossed the fence and landed in the courtyard next door.

Pei Huai had left the door open for her. The layout of the house was exactly the same as her house, but there were very few things in it. It was obvious that he had just moved in.

A butler on the first floor was not surprised to see her come in. He smiled kindly and said, “I’m Uncle He. Young master is on the second floor.”

“Thank you, Uncle He,” Su Ji replied.

Before she came, she saw a light upstairs, which was where Xu Mingzhi’s study was located.

The door wasn’t closed.

Su Ji walked to the door and entered the house.

The warm light in the study illuminated the small corridor.

Pei Huai was sitting peacefully in front of his desk. In front of him was the book that Su Ji had dreamed of destroying.

“Come here,” Pei Huai looked at her with a smile that was not a smile.

Su Ji only took two steps forward. When she was about three meters away from his desk, she stopped and repeated the lines she had thought of in a serious tone, “actually, this book belongs to Uncle Wang.”

Pei Huai took out a card from the book, his thin lips smiling, “this card also belongs to Uncle Wang?”

It was the bank card Su Cunyi gave her!

Last time, she closed the book as soon as Su Cunyi left, and she never took out the card!

Su Ji narrowed her eyes, took a few steps forward, and snatched the card from his hand, “the card is mine.”

Pei Huai only took the book because he saw the card. He was worried that it was something important, so he took the book out. Then, he found out what the book was about.

Although Su Ji was standing beside him, she turned her head to the wall as if someone was standing there as well. She did not look at him.

Pei Huai chuckled and pulled her to sit on his lap. His well-defined fingers pointed at the open book, “young lady, are you interested in human anatomy?”

Su Ji remembered that the chapter that the card was on was about…

When she glanced at the title of the chapter, even Su Ji, who always had a poker face, could not remain calm!

“Chapter 419: The devil concubine had learned a new move. Prince Huai persevered for 49 days and finally committed the crime!”

Of all the chapters, it had to be this one!

The most exciting chapter in the entire book!

Without thinking about anything else, Su Ji clarified, “I swear! I didn’t even read this chapter!”

At that time, she had only flipped to this chapter to read about Prince Huai’s life.

“If you didn’t read this chapter, then which chapter did you read?” Pei Huai chuckled.

Su Ji’s ears were getting hot, and she felt that she would lose face if she continued like this.

After thinking about it, she changed her attitude and snorted, “it’s none of your business which chapter I’m reading. I’m an adult, it’s my freedom to read whatever I want!”

However, Pei Huai did not get angry. Instead, he laughed, “don’t worry, I just want to say…”

“I’m also interested…” he whispered in her ear, “next time, don’t read it secretly. We can discuss it together.”

Su Ji’s face was uncomfortably hot. She bumped her head against his. She wanted to push him away, but she forgot that there was a wound on her head.

“Hiss…”

The wound split open, and red blood seeped out from between her hair.

Pei Huai’s expression turned cold almost instantly.

“How did this happen?” his eyes glinted coldly.
