Chapter 1223: Mother (3)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Before she could say goodbye properly, she had to watch a living person leave in front of her eyes again.

Su Ji reached out, but her fingers passed directly through Xu Mingzhi’s body. Upon closer inspection, she realized that her mother had been looking elsewhere from the beginning. There was another her sitting opposite her, a her in ancient costume. At this moment, she was leaning against the wooden wall in modern clothes, just like the one in front.

“Mother…” freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

“Mother…”

“Mother!”

On the big bed in the Pei family’s old mansion, Su Ji suddenly opened her eyes.

She faced the high ceiling for a long time before she finally pulled herself out of the huge emotion.

Her body was a little heavy, and Pei Huai was hugging her arm tightly.

When she turned her face, she could still see his exceptionally calm facial features under the moonlight. He looked exactly like their son when he was sleeping.

Their son looked more like her, but many of his living habits, as well as those “little problems” that were difficult to please, were exactly the same as Pei Huai’s.

Although, it was also quite cute.

She gently removed Pei Huai’s arm from her body, got up, got off the bed, and went to the dressing table.

The phone screen on the table lit up, showing that it was 3:40 in the morning. She took the books from the dressing table and did not turn on the lights. Instead, she opened the door and went to another room.

The sound of the door opening was very soft, and the sound of the door closing was still very soft. At the same time, the man on the big bed slowly opened his eyes.

He didn’t hear any sobbing or sniffing. There was only a cold water stain on the pillow that came from his wife.

His heart ached.

Pei Huai’s wound was recovering well, so Su Ji put all her attention on studying the medical book.

In the next few days, no matter what time Pei Huai returned to his room, Su Ji would always turn off the lights and go to sleep with him. However, around three or four in the morning, she would quietly get up and go to another room to read.

Pei Huai touched the pillow. It was always wet.

As the day to check Xu Mingzhi’s pulse approached, Su Ji was even more anxious than Xu Mingzhi.

However, it was difficult for others to see her anxiety. She would still joke around and say things that were not appropriate. Although she was a mother, she was pampered.

Until a few days later at noon, Du Meilan saw her beautiful daughter-in-law sitting at the Pei family’s dining table. She was reading a book with one hand and slowly and mechanically putting it into her mouth with the other.

Her shoulder blades were as thin as paper.

The woman’s expression darkened. “Su Ji, have you lost weight recently?”

The cutlery in Pei Huai’s hands paused for a moment.

Coincidentally, Su Ji was wearing a black T-shirt today. She replied calmly, “no, black makes one look slimmer. You’re mistaken.”

Perhaps she felt that the gaze on her did not move away, and she became more and more worried.

Su Ji put down her chopsticks, closed the book in her hand, and stood up.

The gaze followed her upward.

Su Ji lifted her chin. “I’m full. You guys take your time.”

“Why aren’t you eating so quickly…” Du Meilan’s words came to an abrupt halt, apparently prompted by someone’s gaze.

After Su Ji left, Du Meilan quickly asked Pei Huai, “what happened? I’ve only been away from home for a few days. How did she become so thin? Did she not eat well? Didn’t sleep well? Or was there not enough helpers?

How did you take care of her?”

She was really anxious this time, and her tone was quite strict.

Meanwhile, Pei Huai’s brows were dark and gloomy. He did not have a good attitude when faced with Madam Du’s interrogation.

“I’ll take care of these things.” He paused for a few seconds and massaged his temples. “As for the wedding…”

Du Meilan looked at him, afraid that her youngest son would suddenly say something to postpone it, as if he had been possessed by a demon like last time after the car accident.

However, a few seconds later, Pei Huai spoke up. This time, he did not want to postpone it. He said, “try to bring it forward. The earlier, the better.”

Du Meilan didn’t know the reason, but fortunately it wasn’t a delay, so she agreed verbally.

In the corridor a few steps away, Su Ji, who had heard their conversation, clenched her fists tightly.

Pei Huai and Su Ji, who were smart, had the same premonition in their hearts. However, they tacitly kept it in their hearts and did not say anything. It was as if not saying anything was just a guess, but if they did, it would really come true.

However, it was just a guess until Pei Huai’s phone rang at the dining table. The caller ID showed that it was Shen Mu, who had disappeared for a few days because he had to investigate something.

“Son, you’re not eating anymore?” Du Meilan looked at her youngest son who suddenly stood up.

Pei Huai only responded before he picked up his phone and left…
