Chapter 73: Unforgettable
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
He had only found out that Su Ji started school yesterday and he already came today.
He just wanted to go for a spin but ended up at Kyokushin’s entrance.
It was noon, and the students were coming out of the campus in twos and threes.
Soon, people noticed his car and looked at him with curiosity and envy.
Although there was never a lack of luxury cars at the entrance of Kyokushin, it was still rare to see one of this level.
However, Pei Huai was frowning the entire time. Other than the girl he wanted to see, everyone else was like a block of mosaic in his eyes. They were redundant.
Shen Mu called, and he sounded anxious. “Boss, where did you go? We are all looking for you!”
Only then did Pei Huai remember that he had not told anyone that he left. “I’m out. What’s up?”
“Ah.” Shen Mu heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s nothing, your lunch is ready, and I wanted to ask when you would…”
“It’s fine.” As he spoke, Pei Huai’s gaze locked onto a figure who had just come out of the school gate. His furrowed brows melted like a glacier, and he smiled. “Today, I want to try something new…”
Su Ji didn’t notice Pei Huai’s car and walked leisurely towards the small supermarket next door.
Pei Huai didn’t call out to her. He just sat in the car and looked at her from afar.
He supported his forehead with his hand, his eyes following her slowly.
A junior came to ask Su Ji for directions, and he saw how Su Ji made her blush.
On the way, she bought a small bag of out-of-season lychees from a roadside stall. The stall next to it was selling books. She picked up a book titled “Plant Cultivation Techniques.”
He didn’t expect her to have such a rich after-school life.
Finally, Su Ji entered the small supermarket next door. Pei Huai placed his hand on the steering wheel and slowly tapped on it as if he was counting the time. After waiting for five minutes, she came out.
She was holding a small square box in her hand and was about to unwrap it when she saw an employee come out and chase after her nervously. “Miss! You took the wrong one! This is not chewing gum, it’s…”
Su Ji turned around with a frown, “isn’t it strawberry-flavored?”
The boss snatched it and stuffed a box of chewing gum into her palm.
He thought to himself, “silly girl, even Durex has strawberry-flavored ones!”
Su Ji was a concubine from thousands of years ago, so she had never seen Durex before. She could not believe that this kind of thing could be sold together with chewing gum.
If she had opened it just now, she would have tried to blow bubbles from it.
Pei Huai froze. Then, he laughed in a low voice.
He rested his chin on his fist and smiled gently.
“Knock knock knock”
Someone suddenly knocked on the car window, and his smile instantly disappeared.
“CEO Pei? I didn’t expect to see you here!” Su Qianrou tried to look through the window. Pei Huai rolled down the window stiffly.
That’s not the person he wanted to see.
On the way back, she was still thinking about what to do if Ren Guanghua did not reply to her. She didn’t expect to bump into CEO Pei himself at school!
She heard that he had seen her video, so he must admire her a lot.
Did he drive to school today to look for…
Su Qianrou covered her mouth in shock.
Didn’t they say that he wasn’t interested in women?
Could it be that she was special?
Her imagination was running wild, and she did not notice his extremely annoyed look.
His beautiful afternoon was suddenly interrupted. Pei Huai glanced at her coldly, “what did you see?”
He was referring to his peeking at Su Ji.
However, Su Qianrou had obviously misunderstood him. After reflecting on his words for a while, her eyes were filled with shyness, “I see…how handsome you are.”
At this moment, she began to think. What would she do if CEO Pei and Song Heng pursued her at the same time?
One had a successful career, while the other was a young talent.
However, before she could fulfill her dream, she heard him say “get lost”.
Su Qianrou was stunned for half a minute. She still couldn’t believe what she just heard.
When she met his sharp eyes, they were filled with disgust and loathing for her.
It was as if she was a filthy thing.
She was as embarrassed as she was confident just now.
Su Qianrou’s face was on fire and it burned painfully.
Why was he so cold to her?
Could it be that she was not the “Ms. Su” that they were talking about?
Su Qianrou bit her lip in embarrassment and took a few steps back.
Pei Huai’s good mood was ruined. He raised his finger and pinched between his eyebrows. Then, he looked for Lin Shen’s contact and called him.
He had driven all the way to Kyokushin just to take a look at Su Ji. He was acting so creepy.
He didn’t even notice when that filthy thing got close to his car window.
This was very abnormal.
What was even weirder was that his mood would improve as long as Su Ji was around.
However, once she left, his heart would boil in anger.
He needed his psychiatrist to help him.
And since he had not had that dream recently, he trusted Lin Shen.
“Mr. Pei.” Lin Shen picked up the call within seconds.
Recently, he had done a lot of research and carefully studied his behavior during hypnosis.
Mr. Pei’s reaction showed that he had a very strong emotional memory of Ms. Su.
However, from his description, the two of them had only met a few times. Where did this feeling come from?
Now, it wasn’t just the Pei company’s top executives, but even Pei Huai’s psychiatrist was curious about Ms. Su.
He was still thinking whether he should report his findings to Mr. Pei when he called him.
Lin Shen was silent for a long time.
By right, it should be nice to see someone one likes. However, seeing his reaction, Lin Shen felt that his feelings for Ms. Su were too strong and deep.
It was unclear whether it’s a good thing.
Such intense emotions could be harmful.
In order to reduce Ms. Su’s appeal to him, Lin Shen said, “I’ve heard that you’re a leader in the business world. Following Ms. Su around doesn’t seem like something you would do.”
Lin Shen thought that he was good at reading people. Based on Mr. Pei’s character, he would definitely realize that Ms. Su was holding him back.
“You’re right,” Pei Huai said.
Lin Shen heaved a sigh of relief.
However, he immediately said, “this isn’t like me. I should… just ask her out!”
