Chapter 770: Jealous!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the modern world, Su Ji did not protect it well, and she only felt the pain after losing it.
If it was lost again, she would not let it suffer any more losses even if she lost her arm.
Prince Huai tilted his head slightly. “Aren’t you going to try it on?”
The most exquisite part of this bracelet was its size. Prince Huai had Bian Tong specially make it according to her size.
He had once fought with the Consort Dowager once when she disguised herself as a man and sneaked into the military camp.
However, it was still extremely difficult to do it perfectly. Prince Huai wanted her to try it, but Su Ji was very sure. “There’s no need to try. It will definitely fit.”
Prince Huai heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that she liked it.
The feeling that had been bugging him attacked him again. Prince Huai’s left hand that was holding the chopsticks trembled, but he used his right hand to stop it.
At the same time, he looked at Su Ji. “Since you’ve accepted my gift, can you do me a favor in return?”
His tone sounded relaxed, but Su Ji noticed the fine sweat on his forehead.
“Sure, please tell me.”
“It’s not a big deal.” Prince Huai shook the empty bottle of wine. “Help me go to the wine store and get another bottle of lychee wine.”
“Just this?” Su Ji raised her eyebrows.” This is a rare opportunity.”
Prince Huai smiled. “This is it.”
Before he lost consciousness, Su Ji got up, closes the door before she left.
After taking a few steps, she heard the sound of porcelain shattering on the ground.
A few seconds later, she went to get the wine.
When the manservant saw Consort Dowager personally come over to get the wine, he was extremely flustered.
He respectfully welcomed her and introduced her to every type of wine here.
Regardless of whether it was Prince Huai in his previous life or Pei Huai in his future life, their alcohol tolerance was extremely good.
His ability to taste wine was also extremely high.
The Pei Corporation had their own brand of wine, and the lychee wine was widely praised once it was released. It caused quite a stir among the professional wine tasters in the industry.
When she had just transmigrated to the modern world, she had tasted the lychee wine at Old Master Pei’s birthday banquet. It was extremely similar to the one that Prince Huai had prepared for her.
To be honest, if she had not been fed to her fill by Pei Huai in the modern world, she might not have been able to hold back and not give it a try.
At the thought of this, Su Ji looked at her abdomen. She had even checked the line of her vest when she changed this morning.
It was really hard to imagine that there was a human fetus inside that would travel back to the Great Shang with her.
However, she did feel her pulse. It was beating strongly and full of vitality.
“All the fine wine that His Highness has collected is here.” The servant bowed and asked, “what wine is Your Highness looking for?”
Su Ji glanced at the wine cabinet. “Help me get a bottle of lychee wine first.”
“Alright!” The servant smiled and accepted the order, then went to the wine cabinet beside him.
Su Ji looked at the other wines.
The reason why the servant wanted to help her get it was not purely to flatter her. It was really because this wine storage pavilion was too big and there were too many types of wine inside. For ordinary people, it was like entering a maze. It was even more difficult to find a particular wine inside.
The princes in the Great Shang received different grades of cellars according to a strict set of rules. Although Prince Huai received the best one, it was still inferior to Pei Huai’s Lychee Manor.
She stopped in front of a single wine jar and smelled a familiar fragrance from the edge.
At this moment, the servant boy had already brought a jug of lychee wine over. Seeing that she was interested in the jug of wine, he took the initiative to introduce it to her. “Although this jug of wine is not the most expensive, it is the most special. Its fragrance is very different from what we usually smell. It is made from wheat, rve, corn, and brewed with zrains. It had a golden color and was a strong distilled liquor.”
Su Ji nodded calmly. No wonder the fragrance was familiar.
Wasn’t it the predecessor of whiskey?
Pei Huai kept whiskey in the study of the Pei family and the apartment. When he was with Su Ji, he usually drank lychee wine, but when he was alone, he drank whiskey.
For some reason, she looked at the servant boy. “I don’t want the lychee wine anymore. I’ll take this.”
“Ah?” The servant was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded.
In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Su Ji returned to the residence.
The door was pushed open with a creak. The dishes on the table looked the same as when she left, but there were some differences. The plates seemed to have been rearranged according to the size and shape of the plates. They were rearranged from the inside out. The distance between the plates was even, and it looked much neater
Su Ji did not have this problem in the past, and she never cared about these things. Later on, she was influenced by someone. When she saw the messy things, her scalp would go numb.
The man sat with his back facing her and looked around the room as if he was looking for something. His fingers were spinning the bamboo chopsticks.
When he heard the sound of the door opening, he stopped moving his fingers and placed his chopsticks on the table.
He turned around and was not surprised to see the girl standing at the door. The emotions in his eyes were strong, but he hid them.
Seeing that she hadn’t lost any weight, he felt relieved.
Su Ji leaned against the door frame, crossed her arms, and shook the bottle of whiskey he liked in her hand. She threw it to him, who easily caught it with one hand.
Su Ji was smiling, but Pei Huai’s expression was serious. His slender fingers tapped the table. “You live here now?”
He really missed her, but it was not the case if he really saw her.
Even the sweet and sour carp, sweet and sour ribs, and sweet and sour radishes on the table were not as sour as his tone!
Su Ji did not tell him that she was sticking to Prince Huai because she wanted to see him, so as to prevent him from being too smug. Instead, she smiled again. “You seem to know that I’m the one eating with him.”
When he turned around and saw her, he was not surprised at all.
Pei Huai poured a glass of wine that Su Ji threw at him and drank it with a faint smile on his face.
When he saw the lychee wine on the table, he knew who was eating with him.
Su Ji sat across from him and looked at him as if she could not get enough of him.
This time, they seemed to be able to stay a little longer, and the two of them were more relaxed.
Pei Huai wanted her to sit beside him, but when he thought about the current setting.
He asked her, “what did you say last time? I didn’t hear you clearly.”
“That…” Su Ji remembered what he was talking about. With a smile, she said lazily, “it’s nothing important.”
Pei Huai looked at her without avoiding her for a moment, his gaze probing. He did not skip this topic. “Everything you say is important to me..”
