Chapter 198 Golden Koi
His fingers seemed to be holding a piece of warm jade, and the touch was so delicate that Pei Ji couldn't help but dazed. The two of them were close, and the faint fragrance of flowers and cedar intertwined. Pei Ji finally came back to his senses and looked into Song Ci's eyes, saying seriously: "This purse is something I like."
Things you like.
In just four words, he actually expressed a sense of tenderness.
When the other party let go of her hand, Song Ci felt the arm that was held was burning hot. She couldn't help but reach into her sleeve and hold the place where she had just been, and then she stammered: "Since you are not afraid of being embarrassed, I naturally won't say anything."
"Shameful." Pei Ji chuckled. "It's been a long time since anyone has done something like this. How can it be shameful?"
Song Ci picked up the purse with her slender fingers and wiped it. She couldn't bear to look at it and paused before saying, "I'll make you a better one when I've mastered needlework."
Pei Ji raised his eyebrows, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, "In that case, I thank you in advance."
He was tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. When he stood there, he reminded Song Ci of the tall and emerald green bamboo.
The previous unhappy feeling was quickly diluted. Song Ci thought, Pei Ji is such a wicked person, he can always make you happy as long as he wants to.
"Song porcelain!"
A panting sound was heard from afar. Miss Xu and Miss Jiang hurried over. When they saw Pei Ji, they were surprised. Then they looked at each other, feeling that they came at the wrong time.
Then he thought of Shen Qingman's repeated targeting of Song Ci. Could it be because of this scene in front of him?
The two were about three steps away from each other. When they arrived, both of them had smiles on their faces. Song Ci was okay, but Pei Ji's smile was so gentle that they had never seen it before.
Miss Xu was fine, but Miss Jiang felt that Pei Ji's smile was very familiar. Her brother also smiled the same way when he saw his sister-in-law. Could it be that Pei Ji had taken a fancy to Song Ci...
That would be a big trouble.
She frowned and nodded at the two of them, "We were a little worried when we saw that you hadn't come back. Since you are okay, we will go back first." With that, she hurriedly left with Miss Xu who had no time to speak.
Song Ci: "I'll go back first. I've been away for too long. They will be uneasy later..." She tilted her head back, her almond-shaped eyes were clear. Pei Ji could almost see his own figure in her eyes. He couldn't help but take a half step back, his tongue tip lowered to his upper teeth, his throat moving.
Pei Ji said slowly: "Okay."
His voice was clear and cold, and for a moment it seemed as if the person who had just spoken was not him, and then he returned to his normal self.
Song Ci wondered if this man was sick, as why did he change his expression so quickly?
He left in a hurry with the sunset behind him.
After everyone left, A-Lin, who was behind the tree, crossed his arms and came out, "Sir, why are you so cold to Miss Song?"
If he had not seen the portrait hidden under the desk in the Pei family's study, he would have almost thought that he had guessed wrong and that his own master had no feelings for Miss Song other than friendship.
But who would draw a detailed picture of an ordinary friend?
Isn't this sick?
"I haven't cleared the toxins from my body yet, and I haven't found all the medicine. I don't know what will happen in the future. Since I'm not someone who will live a long life, why bother provoking her... She still has a good life ahead of her."
A Lin: Okay, this is a stone in your heart, it will take time to remove it. The most urgent thing is to find the antidote as soon as possible.
When they returned to the table, Xu and Jiang cast doubtful glances at him, clearly not daring to speak.
Finally, it was Miss Xu who spoke up, "Since you're so close to Master Pei... you must be careful of the princess in the future. She won't let you down. She's got a bad temper, and you never know what she might do."
Song Ci laughed. She was very close to Pei Ji?
Just now, Pei Ji clearly wanted to distance himself from him.
"Mr. Pei and I are just friends. I understand your reminder. Thank you very much."
Just a friend? Miss Jiang didn't believe it. Pei Ji's eyes just now clearly didn't look like he was looking at a friend.
Miss Xu sighed and tugged at Song Ci's sleeve. "Don't blame me for being nosy. The Pei family is very complicated. Although they are a wealthy family, they are not as peaceful as ordinary families. The current Madam Pei is not Pei Ji's mother. Did you know that?"
She already knew this and nodded immediately.
"She has a son. Although she usually pretends to be selfless, my mother secretly told me that she is very ambitious. I'm afraid she will find a way to give her son the position of the Pei family's heir in the future. So no matter who marries Pei Ji, there will be trouble in the future."
Song Ci knew she meant well and smiled, "I understand."
Seeing that she had listened, Miss Xu told her some other interesting things, and they all soon became happy again.
In the distance, Shen Qingman looked at Song Ci with gloomy eyes. Pei Ji had just shaken her off and left in the same direction as Song Ci.
If she had been lucky before, how could a bright moon like Pei Ji fall in love with a girl from a family like the Song family? It would be a joke. But now the facts were before her eyes, like a heavy slap in the face.
She was beaten so hard that she felt dizzy.
Shen Qingman thought, whether it was family background or appearance, she believed she was no less than Song Ci, so why couldn't Pei Ji see her? She offered her true heart to Pei Ji and loved him for so many years, so why was he so cruel and heartless.
Girls sit together and talk about jewelry, dressing, or food.”
Miss Xu was in a state of endless chatter when it came to food. From dim sum to local specialties, she could talk about everything in detail. Song Ci smiled and said, "If someone didn't know you, they would think you were an experienced chef with many years of experience. Who would have thought that you were actually a delicate young lady."
After being teased, Miss Xu smiled heartily and was not angry.
"In life, besides eating and drinking, I am very picky about food. The chefs in my house are all specially hired. If you have time someday, come to my house and try it."
Song Ci nodded: "Okay."
Since she was planning to separate from the Song family with her parents and brother, she naturally had to start thinking of ways to make money. Food was a good idea, and it might become a source of income in the future.
Suddenly, a lively voice rang out, "Come and see, there are golden koi in this pond."
The crowd immediately rushed towards the pond, everyone standing by the pond, looking inside curiously, "Where is the golden koi?"
"Did you see it? I didn't see it."
"I didn't see any either. They're just some ordinary koi. You're not mistaken, are you?"
"I really saw it just now!"
