At the Lychee Manor.
This was the trip that Su Ji was looking forward to the most.
When she heard Pei Huai say this, the speed at which she ate became faster.
Pei Huai frowned and kept telling her to slow down.
But in the end, Su Ji finished her lunch in just half an hour.
After leaving the manor, she saw her baby that was parked in the Xu family’s garage magically appear in the manor’s parking lot!!
“Did you get someone to move it here?”
Pei Huai gestured for her to sit in the front passenger seat. “There are too many paparazzi in A City. You can drive as much as you want here.”
He could be said to be a worm in Su Ji’s stomach. Everything he did pierced her heart.
Su Ji sat in the front passenger seat. The afternoon sun was just right, and the smile on her face was bright. “You told me to drive as much as I want, but now you’re the one driving.”
Pei Huai smiled. ‘You don’t know the address of the manor. I’ll let you drive on the way back. ”
“Alright then-
When she was in a good mood, she would agree to anything.
The car drove all the way north. The wind blew, blowing the girl’s hair backward. Pei Huai smelled the pleasant shampoo and everything was unbelievably refreshing.
Today was a good day. It’s good to go out, to ask for blessings, to get married…
On the way to the Lychee Manor, the scenery was beautiful. Towering buildings reached into the clouds, and there were pale pink fields. Everything was as beautiful as a movie plot.
However, it was also possible that Pei Huai deliberately used a route to connect all the beautiful scenery for Su Ji to see.
Who knew?
“Among the buildings I saw just now, which one do you like the most?” When the car drove into the suburbs, Pei Huai asked her casually.
Su Ji thought for a moment. There was a building that was taller than the others beside it. The top was disc-shaped, and all four sides were glass windows. The bottom was slender, as if the top disc was sent into the clouds.
It was shocking to see from afar, but it would definitely be more enjoyable to experience it on the spot.
She mentioned the building.
“There should be more than a hundred levels, right?” she asked.
Pei Huai said, “177th floor, total height 898 meters.”
A rare look of surprise flashed across Su Ji’s bright eyes.
Pei Huai then clicked on the song list, which was connected to Su Ji’s phone.
There were many English songs, and some were on the recent Chinese song charts.
“Is this your favorite song at the moment?” He asked again.
Su Ji brushed her hair back and nodded.
Pei Huai asked, “which song do you like the most?”
Su Ji casually said one.
Pei Huai understood.
Su Ji was busy looking at the scenery on both sides and did not care why he asked these questions.
A few minutes later, someone knocked on the door. “Come in.”
All the department managers came in.
The uniform they were wearing was the same as Manager Qiu’s. It was the most formal work uniform in Lychee Manor. The price was five figures. Even the handkerchief, tie, collar clip, shirt, and leather shoes were matched. At a glance, it gave off a very formal feeling.
Manager Qiu said, “boss is coming to our manor for an inspection today. All departments, be on your guard! We definitely couldn’t screw up in front of the boss!”
“Yes, sir!” All the department managers answered in unison.
Manager Qiu looked at a few of them. “Is the Lychee Garden ready? That would be the first stop for boss’ inspection!”
“Don’t worry, sir! We are ready!”
Manager Qiu’s line of sight followed behind. “What about the lychee candy processing plant?”
“That’s also ready!”
He continued to ask until every department was confirmed. Manager Qiu looked at the time. “It’s almost time, Let’s go out and welcome them.”
Walking out of the office, the manager in charge of the lychee wine brewing department followed behind Manager Qiu. He looked up at the back of his neck and jogged two steps to catch up. “Sir, I heard that the boss will bring a girl today. She seems to be his girlfriend.”
Hearing this, the manager of the department in charge of Lychee Garden came over. “I heard about it too. Don’t be too nervous. I don’t think the boss is here for an inspection today. He might just be here to bring his girlfriend around.” Manager Qiu stopped in his tracks, and so did the others.
Manager Qiu’s gaze slowly swept across them. A few seconds later, he stretched out a finger and pointed at their heads. “What are you guys thinking? Don’t you know how much our boss values the Lychee Manor? How could he not inspect the work this time? Remember this! Inspection work is the main focus! The boss is an entrepreneur! He’s not the male lead of a romance novel!”
Everyone looked at each other. “Yes…”
Manager Qiu started walking again, and the team continued to move forward.
The manager of the lychee wine brewing department remembered something else. “Sir, the wine cellar is a confidential department. Other than the boss, no one else is allowed to enter. If the lady wants to go in and take a look, should I let her in…”
Manager Qiu turned around and shot him a sharp gaze. “Do you even need to ask?”
The department manager smiled awkwardly. “Understood.”
When Manager Qiu turned back, he whispered to his colleague next to him uncertainly, “will it work?” “I don’t know either…”
The heart is unpredictable!
When the car drove into Lychee Manor, Su Ji could smell the intoxicating fragrance of lychees.
It was extremely fragrant and rich.
It took up a huge area, and the staff of each department stood at their posts in an orderly manner. Pei Huai drove the car to the Lychee Garden. The managers of each department in uniform were waiting there in a neat line.
The two of them got out of the car, and the managers bowed in unison to greet them.
Pei Huai simply asked Manager Qiu a tew questions betore bringing Su Ji into the garden.
The dense lychee trees were orderly spaced apart, with thick trunks and lush leaves. The two of them walked in the gap between two rows of trees. The scorching sun was mostly blocked by the leaves, and the mottled shadows of the trees shone on the limestone road under their feet.
The lychee smell here was even stronger. It was a fragrance that could make Su Ji feel happy.
The long shuttle-like leaves were like boats, and ripe lychees covered the branches. Su Ji casually picked a few and, unable to wait, skillfully peeled the lychees and sent them into her mouth.
Avoiding the lychee core, she peeled off the crystal clear lychee flesh between her lips and teeth.
As expected, no matter how fresh the air-borne lychees were, they could not compare to those that had just been picked from the branches.
The juice exploded in her mouth, and an incomparable sweetness filled her mouth.
Manager Qiu, who was following behind, exchanged glances with the others.
In their manor, every lychee on the branch had a number. It was absolutely not allowed to casually pick and eat it.
But the boss didn’t say anything, so they just pretended not to see it…
