312 I Don’t Want to be A Man Next Year

Pei Xi and Bill looked at each other and mouthed an “oh” at the same time.

Du Meilan patted Xu Mingzhi’s hand, “I’ve met Xingxing’s mother once.”

After saying that, she looked at Xu Mingzhi and shook her head. Xu Mingzhi understood. “It’s good to start over again.”

However, she followed her line of sight and saw Pei Xingxing. She felt that the little fellow looked a little familiar, but today was an important day for them, so her attention was not on him. She couldn’t recall who he was at the moment and didn’t probe further.

Pei Qingshen was full of confidence, “then, I have the permission to release the news? I have at least seven candidates waiting for you!”

Pei Song rubbed his face and sighed, “show the photo to Xingxing first.”

After saying that, he got up and went to the balcony for a smoke.

Pei Shizhan glanced at him indifferently before turning to Pei Huai, “come to the study.”

Pei Huai paused for a few seconds, then got up and followed him to the study.

In the study, Pei Shizhan sat on the sofa and motioned for Pei Huai to sit opposite him.

Pei Huai was still standing, expressionless. It was hard to tell what he was thinking. “I’m okay like this.”

Pei Shizhan shook his head helplessly.

He asked, “I heard that your grandfather introduced Su Ji to you? ”

Pei Huai replied, “sort of.”

Pei Shizhan crossed his fingers and rested them on his lap. A small part of his watch could be seen from his spotless shirt. He had a gentle smile on his face the whole time, “it’s your grandfather’s old habit. He likes to play matchmaker. He’s the victim of a traditional marriage, but he used the same method to introduce me to your mother…”

Pei Huai frowned, “what are you trying to say?

Pei Shizhan stopped talking and did not want to anger him. He said, “Su Ji is nice, but I hope that you can find someone you truly like.”

After he said the last word, he looked up at Pei Huai.

After a few seconds, Pei Huai coldly smiled, “you’re overthinking it.”

Pei Shizhan was all ears and silently allowed him to continue.

Pei Huai replied, “I wanted Su Ji.”

“I also spent a lot of effort to pursue her.”

“Grandpa did the introduction at most.”

“I won’t touch those I don’t like, and I won’t waste decades of other people’s time for nothing.”

The last sentence had a deeper meaning.

Pei Shizhan looked at his son, who was already taller than him, and did not speak for a long time.

When Pei Huai came out of the study, Du Meilan had already brought Xu Mingzhi to the study upstairs. The butler said that the two of them decided to work together on a project at the last minute.

Pei Qingshen returned to his room to make a phone call to the families of the daughters of Pei Song who had been waiting for him.

Pei Huai looked around the living room before he found Su Ji.

She was on the balcony with Bill and Pei Song, who were both smoking.

Su Ji was standing opposite of them. The smoke surrounded her, and she seemed to be talking to them.

He frowned, went over, and pulled open the door between the balcony and the room.

The wind was strong today, and the two men were cold, so they didn’t open the balcony window.

“?”

He gave Pei Song a look.

Pei Song held the cigarette in his mouth and raised his hands to explain, “don’t panic. We’re smoking the herbal cigarettes that Su Ji made herself. We’re helping her test the cigarettes.

Bill didn’t usually smoke. He only tried it when he heard that it was a herbal cigarette. “Very good!” He said in broken Chinese.

Pei Huai glanced at the smoky balcony and pulled Su Ji to his side, “what did you find out?”

“A few small issues, ” Su Ji said, “I’ve noted them down.”

Pei Song was a hardcore smoker and gave a few suggestions.

“Then let them stay there by themselves.” After Pei Huai finished speaking, he pulled Su Ji out with one hand and closed the balcony door with the other.

Such a high concentration of herbal smoke might not necessarily be harmless to the body.

Pei Song and Bill silently watched them leave. In a few seconds, their figures were covered in white smoke.

Dinner was ready at five in the afternoon.

Everyone was there today, and a large table was filled.

Pei Shizhan looked at Xu Mingzhi and said very politely, “I originally planned to have the meal outside, but considering that Su Ji is a celebrity, it would be inconvenient for her.”

Xu Mingzhi replied, “it’s good to do it at home. It’s lively with many people and better for conversations.”
