111 Unexpected Gift
There was a long silence on the other end of the line.
As if he thought he heard it wrong, Pei Zicheng asked again suspiciously, âAre you already together?â
âWe are.â
âYouâre not lying to me?â
âAsk Pei Yilan if you donât believe me.â Pei Zhi leaned back in his chair and drank the lemon water.
âDoes she know that girl?â
âYou know him too.â
Hearing Lin Jiaoâs name, Pei Zicheng froze for a long time.
When he heard that Xue Taiyao wanted to introduce his daughter to Pei Zhi last night, he nodded and agreed without even asking for her basic information.
Who knewâ¦
âBring Jiaojiao back for a meal this week.â Pei Zicheng took a deep breath to calm himself down.
âOkay.â Pei Zhi hung up.
He went to pay the bill with Lin Jiao and hand in hand, they left the restaurant with Xue Jing.
The lights in the alley were as warm as the sun.
The two white cats played on the roof, occasionally letting out meows.
Xue Jing squeezed between them.
He looked up at the cat eyes that glowed green in the night. âWhy are they meowing?â
âTHey might not be feeling well.â
âDo they need to be hospitalized?â
âNo need.â Lin Jiao made it up. âThey can heal themselves. Theyâll be fine in two days.â
âHow do they heal themselves?â
âWhen the new season comes, they will recover.â Seeing that Lin Jiao was deep in thought, Pei Zhi helped her answer.
He pointed at the alley exit. âDo you remember my car?â
Xue Jing looked at the cars parked opposite. âI do.â
He followed them across the road and walked to the Mercedes first. He turned around with a grin.
Lin Jiao praised him and sat in the back seat with him.
âJing, do you want to go home or go to my place?â She half opened the window to let air in.
âTo your house.â Xue Jing looked at the window of a doll shop and suddenly thought of something.
He leaned forward and said to Pei Zhi more tactfully, âBrother-in-law, the doll shop opposite doesnât have Boonie Bears.â
Pei Zhi thought for a moment and understood.
He stepped on the accelerator and looked at the young face in the rearview mirror. âI have it at home. Can I give it to you later?â
âOkay!â Xue Jingâs eyes lit up.
Lin Jiao asked, âUncle, when did you buy him a doll?â
âAround the end of July.â
âItâs not a doll. Itâs a figurine.â Xue Jing corrected her.
Pei Zhi told Lin Jiao about watching Boonie Bears with Xue Jing last time.
They chatted happily along the way until they reached the parking lot of the Red Maple Forest.
Pei Zhi opened the car door. âIâll go up and get it first.â
Xue Jing, who received instructions from Lin Jiao, quickly got out of the car
He ran up to Pei Zhi and grabbed the corner of his shirt tightly with his right hand. âBrother-in-law, itâs so stuffy in the car.â
âDo you want to go up and rest for a while?â
âYes!â
Pei Zhi led them back to the nineteenth floor.
He found the figurine on the shelf in the study and handed it to Xue Jing. âTake a look. Do you like it?â
Xue Jing exclaimed when he saw the figurines as if he had seen a treasure.
He reached out and carefully took them out of the wooden box. âI like it very very much!â
Pei Zhi rubbed the top of his head.
While Xue Jing was playing with the figurines, he went to the kitchen to wash a bowl of grapes and bring it out.
He peeled the sweet and juicy grapes and fed them to Lin Jiao, making her lips sparkle with water and tempting.
