Chapter 214: 30 Years Old was Almost the Start of Middle Age
After leaving the hospital, Si Jingchuan couldn’t wait to take a taxi to his boss’ place.
This was his first time visiting her at her house.
He had read about her mother, so he was a little nervous.
When he had called his boss just now, she told him that Madam Xu Mingzhi would also be there today.
When Si Jingchuan entered, Xu Mingzhi was reading a contract on the sofa. She was dressed in a formal suit and high heels and had a laptop on her lap while her fingers were tapping on it nimbly.
Her hair was tucked behind her ears, and she exuded a sophisticated aura.
His boss was really similar to her, but boss was more attractive.
Si Jingchuan couldn’t help but exclaim, “boss, this is the first time a mother who’s prettier than my mother. I really thought she was your sister!”
Su Ji glanced at him.
The young man would have a bright future.
Everyone loves compliments. The more sincere they were, the better.
As expected, Xu Mingzhi looked up when she heard the voice and smiled. “Oh, I know you. I just watched the series last night. You’re so handsome.”
After she finished speaking, she saved her documents, closed the laptop, and put it aside. “Come and sit down. I’ll cut up some fruits for you.”
Si Jingchuan was flattered. “I’ll help you!”
Xu Mingzhi rejected him immediately. “Don’t worry, make yourself at home!”
She was used to doing everything by herself.
Si Jingchuan stared at her back for a while, lost in thought.
His mother Wen Man was a typical sickly beauty. She was very gentle. This was the first time he had seen someone who was as hardworking as boss’ mother. He felt as if a whole new world had been opened up to him.
Su Ji gestured to the sofa at the side. “Come and sit.”
On the way here, he had already finished drinking the treasured medicine in the thermos.
He returned the flask to Su Ji. “Boss, to tell you the truth, I went to the hospital today…”
He told Su Ji everything about the decrease in heart murmurs during his previous physical examination, as well as his subsequent visits to the hospital.
Su Ji was not surprised. “No wonder you wanted to drink that black stuff. Oh right, did you get the medical report?”
Si Jingchuan gave her a document and said, “all the recent reports are in there.”
Su Ji nodded.
Yes, this was exactly what she needed.
Xu Mingzhi brought out a plate of fruits. Each lychee had been peeled, and they were crystal clear.
The fruit plate was placed between the two. Xu Mingzhi sized Si Jingchuan up.
He was quite good-looking, gentle and well-behaved, and most importantly, he had a sweet mouth.
Although Pei Huai was not too bad…
However, he liked her daughter too much. Moreover, based on Xu Mingzhi’s experience, she could tell at one glance that Pei Huai was not a simple person like Si Jingchuan. He was shrewd and meticulous.
Xu Mingzhi had a feeling that if she didn’t keep an eye on her for a moment, that person would abduct her.
She looked at her daughter and Si Jingchuan before smiling at Si Jingchuan. “Do you think my daughter…”
At the same time, Su Ji took out the medical report and said to him, “the reduction of heart murmurs is a good sign. It means that your heart disease can still be cured.”
Xu Mingzhi’s mouth twitched.
Heart disease?
Was this child so sick?
“Really? That’s great, boss.” He remembered that Xu Mingzhi was talking to him just now, so he said, “Aunt Xu, what did you say just now?”
“Well,” Xu Mingzhi chuckled. “I just wanted to ask, do you think my daughter is a competent boss?”
Si Jingchuan’s eyes lit up at the mention of this. “Of course she is. She’ll be my boss for life!”
Xu Mingzhi nodded. “I’m glad to hear that.”
She felt sorry for him. “My baby does have some medical skills. Let her help you with your body. It’s very important for actors like you to be healthy since you have to go on business trips frequently.”
Si Jingchuan was extremely touched!
“Alright, you guys continue. I’ll go upstairs to work.”
“Bye, aunty.”
He remembered something.
“I just remembered this,” he looked at Su Ji. “I read the script for next week this morning. We’re really going to shoot a scene in a foreign country next week.”
Su Ji raised her eyebrows slightly. “An overseas setting might not be shot overseas.”
He nodded. “That’s true. When the Song guy was around, the overseas scenes were also shot in our city. It’s up to the director to arrange it. Don’t worry, boss, I won’t let you tire yourself out.”
Su Ji put a lychee in her mouth.
She didn’t have much to worry about.
After she transmigrated, she learnt about many modern technological products such as cars, mobile phones, and computers.
However, she had never taken a plane before.
If they were going to film overseas next week, it would be good to experience it.
**
After sending Si Jingchuan off, Su Ji returned to her room and studied the prescription for a while.
She wanted to improve and adjust the prescription based on the notes in Si Jingchuan’s medical reports.
Just as she was thinking about this, she received a WeChat message from Pei Huai.
He made a request to her, but the request was very different than usual.
Pei Huai, “call out to me.”
Su Ji pulled open the curtains and shouted at Pei Huai, who was also sitting on the sofa opposite. “Hello!
Su Ji was a good person, she really took it seriously.
After the fever last time, Su Ji had not allowed Pei Huai to open the window. Now that the windows on both sides were closed, Pei Huai could not hear her voice, but he could understand just by reading her mouth.
After a long silence, he lowered his eyes and sent another message.
Pei Huai replied, “I mean on the phone. Call me by my name.”
Su Ji furrowed her eyebrows.
This request didn’t sound very serious.
[ “What’s the reason.” ]
Pei Huai said, “there’s no reason, just do it.”
Su Ji hesitated for a while and clicked her tongue. It was just his name. It was not like she had never called him by his name before.
There was nothing to be shy about.
Thus, she tapped on the voice message.
She wanted to shout out loud, but when she opened her mouth, her tone subconsciously became softer.
“Pei Huai.”
It was inexplicably seductive.
Opposite her, Pei Huai placed his phone to his ear. When he heard her say his name, the corners of his lips unconsciously curved up.
He also edited the recording on his phone.
Soon, a new voice message was sent.
He clicked play.
“Pei Huai, are you still waiting for me?”
Pei Huai raised his eyebrows. He felt much better now.
Through the window, Su Ji saw Pei Huai’s strange smile as he gestured on his phone. She could not help but fall into deep thought.
Did she not care enough about her boyfriend?
She searched her mind for the information she had about Pei Huai.
The last time she accompanied her mother to meet Bill at the clubhouse, Pei Huai seemed to have said something when he told her his age…
“My birthday is at the end of the year, so I’m actually 29.”
It was already December.
His birthday was at the end of the year, wasn’t it this month?
A birthday was no small matter.
Besides, it was his 30th birthday.
Thirty years old was almost the start of middle age.
She should have prepared a birthday gift.
However, what Su Ji needed to know more now was when Pei Huai’s birthday was. Could it be that Pei Huai’s birthday was coming soon?
