Meng Sheng paused, then blinked and teased, "If I remember correctly, our marriage is not yet settled."
Pei Sui gave a light "hmm" and said without batting an eye, "Soon. Once your father is discharged from the hospital, we will come to propose marriage. The house will also need time to be renovated. After we get married, it can be used as our new home."
“The house is in both our names. I’ve already found an interior design company. You can go back and think about it carefully. You can bring up any style and requirements you want, and then we’ll have them produce a design plan.”
Meng Sheng smiled and took his arm. "Okay, didn't you say there's a science and technology garden up there? Let's go up and take a look?"
"Um."
Pei Sui led her to take the elevator directly to the science and technology garden above.
This science garden was rebuilt by Ke Jiming on a whim; it is a private entertainment center that coexists with science, astronomy, and nature.
Its outer framework resembles a vine, and the main body of the building consists of spherical or disc-shaped structures of varying sizes, elegantly linked like vines, suspended in the air to form a staggered suspended garden that connects the top floors of Buildings B and C.
The interior space and core content are a feast for the senses and the mind, featuring a futuristic restaurant and a corridor of resurgence, as if entering a new chapter of nature, infusing this cold space with a warm soul.
Meng Sheng didn't know much about technology and nature, but she stayed in this technology garden for two or three hours before Pei Sui led her out when she got hungry.
"Why did Ke Jiming buy such a great technology garden?"
Pei Sui pressed the elevator button. "This house and this technology garden are integrated. Ke's is developing another technology and real estate project and doesn't have much time to manage this technology garden. Many functions need to be restarted by professionals. This can be considered as him doing me a favor."
Meng Sheng raised her eyebrows and said, "I see."
Do you like it?
"I like it."
If we have a child in the future, the child will probably like it even more.
Pei Sui's cold eyes softened with warmth.
As long as she's happy.
He had actually been looking for a wedding house for a while, but there weren't many suitable ones that satisfied him.
Furthermore, if it's in the southern part of the city, and it's close to both art museums and law firms, then there are even fewer options.
He had already looked at the villa layouts, but he didn't really like them. Fortunately, there was still the Qingjiang Maple Forest option.
Dinner was arranged at a Mexican restaurant, with Ke Jiming and his fiancée in attendance. It was the first time Meng Sheng had met them, and after exchanging greetings, they took their seats.
Ke Jiming's fiancée is of mixed Chinese and Russian descent. She is tall, fair-skinned, and has delicate, well-defined features. She is very talkative and speaks fluent Chinese.
They chatted happily with Meng Sheng, and before all the dishes had been served, they had already exchanged contact information.
Pei Sui and Ke Jiming couldn't get a word in edgewise.
As they left the restaurant, Ke Jiming's fiancée formally invited them to visit her in Moscow sometime.
After parting ways, Meng Sheng and Pei Sui went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast and the meal they wanted to cook for Meng Chengli.
As soon as the door opened, Sisi rushed over to greet them as usual, and Meng Sheng habitually bent down, picked it up, and stroked it.
The next morning, while having breakfast, Meng Sheng's phone suddenly dinged. She glanced at it subconsciously and saw that it was a message from that mysterious number. She put down her chopsticks and picked up her phone to read the text message.
[Du Ping added a slow-acting poison to Cui Xueheng's medication, which was incompatible with a slow-acting suicide poison Cui Xueheng was already ingesting. Cui Xueheng would die from the poisoning at 3 PM Los Angeles time.]
Meng Sheng's pupils contracted, and the hand holding the phone trembled violently.
Du Ping?
Isn't this the nanny who has been taking care of Cui Xueheng all along?
How could that be?
And suicide...
When these words are placed together, she feels... a little unfamiliar with them?
She quickly calculated the time difference between Los Angeles and Beijing in her mind. In the summer, it's about 15 hours, so now it must be...
"Look at this!" Without further ado, she held the phone up to Pei Sui's face. "Isn't Huanhuan in Los Angeles too? Call her right now and stop her..."
Pei Sui looked closely and saw the contents of the text message, and his whole body stiffened.
If he was shocked and surprised when Meng Sheng showed him the premonition text message from this number last time, he was still stunned when he actually heard the phone's text message ringtone and saw the message.
The content of the text message shocked and alarmed him even more.
Did Du Ping drug Cui Xueheng?
How is that possible?!
Du Ping has been in the Pei family for over thirty years, and she has taken exceptional care of Cui Xueheng. Most importantly, she is Pei Huan's...
The thought flashed through his mind and he quickly dismissed it. He could foresee this text message, and as Meng Sheng had said before, it was always very accurate. There was no need for him to question it.
Did Cui Xueheng commit suicide by taking a slow-acting poison?
Would someone like her commit suicide?
Pei Sui didn't understand. He had no feelings for Cui Xueheng, but in this emergency, it was a human life at least. Moreover, Du Ping's motives were unclear. Without much hesitation, he followed his heart's choice. He glanced at the time in the upper left corner of his phone, his heart sinking, and quickly dialed Pei Huan's number.
The phone rang for half a minute before being answered, and Pei Huan's voice came through the receiver, "Hello, A-Sui."
"Don't let her drink that medicine!" Pei Sui said in a deep voice, without even exchanging pleasantries.
Or perhaps feeling that his words weren't clear enough, he repeated, "Quickly stop Cui Xueheng from drinking that bowl of medicine! Du Ping poisoned it!"
Pei Huan was stunned, her eyes widening. "Wh...what? Asui, you said..."
"Go and stop her!"
"……good."
Pei Huan suppressed her shock, asked no more questions, and quickly ran into the house.
She had just run to the yard to answer the call because she saw that Pei Sui was calling and was afraid that Cui Xueheng would be upset if she heard it.
