Pei Huai looked at Madam Du.
He slid his phone back into his pocket and went to his desk. “I’m not going home.”
Du Meilan:
After a moment of silence, she said, “you were the one who treated Anna in the past. Now that she’s in China, you should at least show your face. Her stepmother and stepbrother are also here, and I don’t want to see them either. Why don’t you come with me and show your face? Just for a while?”
Pei Huai slowly flipped open a document. “You can go, but not me. I’m different from you. I’m not single now.”
Du Meilan was amused, “what are you saying? Can’t you have a meal with her even if you’re not single? You said I’m single, but…”
She suddenly narrowed her eyes. She was actually single!
Du Meilan lifted the platinum bag on her arm and looked at him, “fine, fine, fine. Leave the mess to me. I am single now so I have to be the unlucky one!” There was a light click.
Du Meilan was about to take a step forward when she turned her head and saw Pei Huai placing a very exquisite square box on the table before turning back to the document.
Du Meilan paused for a moment. It was the packaging of her favorite perfume brand. It was very iconic. It came from America and could only be bought locally during each season.
She couldn’t hold back her laughter. She walked back to her son’s desk and tapped her finger on it. “You bought it?”
Pei Huai slowly flipped through a page of the document. “Maybe I stole it?”
“Nonsense,” Du Meilan said as she put the small box into her platinum bag. “Alright, you’re allowed to go home late today.”
Pei Huai smiled.
“Aiyo, Madam Du!”
When Du Meilan returned home, the three people from the duke’s family had just gotten out of the car.
The two parties exchanged greetings politely. Miyazawa Rei and Du Meilan
“I heard how busy you are, and I finally managed to see you.” Miyazawa Rei smiled elegantly. “The duke always said, look at Madam Du, that’s what the real mistress of the family looks like.”
Miyazawa Ta interrupted at the right time. “No wonder the heirs of the Pei family look better with each generation. You can tell when you see Madam Du.”
Du Meilan smiled. “You are describing your mother.”
“Where’s Anna?” Miyazawa Rei turned around and found Anna who was hiding behind her. She put her hands on Anna’s shoulders. “Anna is like this. She is always an introvert.”
“Anna has grown up and is becoming more and more beautiful.” Du Meilan sized her up.
“Anna, say hi to Madam Du,” Miyazawa Rei reminded softly.
Anna clasped her hands nervously in front of her and secretly exhaled. “Nice to meet you, Madam Du.”
Du Meilan smiled kindly. “Hello, Anna- I‘
“Let’s go in.” Du Meilan winked at the butler, who immediately welcomed them into the house.
Miyazawa Rei and Du Meilan walked together, the two young ones trailing behind.
As she walked into the yard, Du Meilan heard some noise behind. She looked back and saw Anna lowering her head, shyly and embarrassedly pulling her hand out of her stepbrother’s palm.
Miyazawa Ta looked at his empty hand and continued to move closer to her. “There’s a step here. I’m afraid you’ll fall.”
Du Meilan looked at him for a while, then withdrew her gaze and said, “your son is really considerate.”
Miyazawa Rei smiled, “he loves his sister the most. When I first married the duke, I was worried that the two children wouldn’t get along well. Later, I realized that I was worrying for nothing.”
Du Meilan only smiled and didn’t say anything else.
Pei Xi saw them from afar and quickly took a photo with her phone. Then, she typed something on the screen. When Madam Du noticed her, she put away her phone and put on a professional fake smile. “Nice to meet you, duchess.”
Miyazawa Ta was stunned when he saw Pei Xi. She was even more beautiful in person.
However, when the well-built Bill appeared behind her and held his wife in his arms, Miyazawa Ta retracted his gaze.
Miyazawa Rei held Pei Xi’s hand and exchanged pleasantries. “How many months along are you?”
Pei Xi responded with a smile.
“Where’s Pei Song?” Du Meilan looked around and asked with a smile. Pei Xi said, “he…something suddenly happened in Huichun Hall…’
Du Meilan:
Fortunately, after entering the house, Old Master Pei and Pei Xingxing were still there. Pei Xingxing was left at home by Pei Song with a lollipop to keep up appearances.
He called out to her obediently, and Miyazawa Rei gave him a huge red packet.
Pei Xingxing felt the thickness of the packet and smiled even sweeter.
He noticed Anna, who was hiding and didn’t like to talk.
She was a strange young lady.
Anna was very beautiful, but it was a pity that Pei Xingxing, like his grandfather, was only interested in Asian features.
Anna pinched the hem of her skirt and looked left and right. She was obviously looking for someone.
Du Meilan noticed.
Pei Qingshen happened to ask, “where’s Pei Huai?”
Du Meilan thought of the box of perfume in her bag and said with a smile, “what a coincidence. Pei Huai is really too busy at the company today, and it’s all urgent. He doesn’t even have time for lunch, so he might be back a little late. ”
Anna lowered her head in disappointment.
Miyazawa Rei and Miyazawa Ta looked at each other.
“Pei Huai is busy every day, but he should take care of his health.” Miyazawa Rei smiled, “Anna kept talking about her big brother on the plane.”
Anna lowered her head, her ears instantly turning red.
Du Meilan said, “during this period of time, Anna will be staying here. There will be many opportunities to meet him.”
Anna didn’t dare to make eye contact with anyone. She looked to the side and saw a medical book on the table.
She couldn’t read Chinese, but she knew it was a medical book.
She pinched her fingers and picked up the book involuntarily.
The words were written in cursive.
Thinking that no one was paying attention to her, she secretly sniffed the book. It smelled so good.
Other than the faint smell of ink, there was also a very pleasant fragrance.
Her heart started beating faster again.
Miyazawa Rei’s gaze fell on her and her lips curved into a profound smile.
“Madam Du, this book is Pei Huai’s, right? He liked to read medical books since he was young, that’s why his medical skills are so good.”
“Ah,” Du Meilan thought for a while and confirmed with Pei Xi, “this seems to be Su Ji’s book, right?” Pei Xi smiled and said yes.
“Su Ji?”
Du Meilan smiled and explained, “it’s my future daughter-in-law’s book. Pei Huai was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to find it the next time she came. The servants didn’t dare to take it away, so they left it there as it was.”
The book that Anna had been sniffing fell to the ground with a thud. Everyone in the room looked at her..
