Chapter 1005: Going Home

“Actually, it’s not heavy at all.

It’s a little thing I made myself, as a gift for Grandfather Pei.”

“Then give it to her later.”

Gu Qing took the box and handed it to a servant to carry.

Even if it’s something for Elder Pei, Nan Jiaojiao shouldn’t have to carry it and tire herself out.

“I went to the mall this morning, couldn’t find anything suitable for you, so I went to E.Y instead.

I had left a few dresses for you before, made some alterations, and they haven’t been officially released yet.

Considering you’ve already received the new season’s casual wear but still need gowns for various occasions, I made them more comfortable for you.”

Gu Qing smiled warmly, “You are the most thoughtful, also, I’ve told you before, don’t bring anything when you come home, we have everything here.

If you keep acting like a stranger, I’ll be upset.”

Nan Jiaojiao chuckled sheepishly, “If I came empty-handed, I’m afraid you’d hit me.”

“Even if I hit Pei Dongshi, I wouldn’t hit you!”

Gu Qing widened her eyes, not yet angry, as Nan Jiaojiao stuffed a paper bag into her arms, “This is the fragrance Zhenzhen mixed.

She guessed I would visit the Pei Family when I came to the Capital City and asked me to bring it for you.”

“Oh, really?”

Gu Qing opened it to look, the bottle was especially luxurious, even the gold thread around the cap exuded a simple aura of wealth.

The fragrance lacked technological complexity, offering only floral notes.

“I haven’t finished the perfume Zhenzhen made last time.

I love it, but felt bad to trouble her again.

I even tried finding a substitute domestically and abroad, but couldn’t find a satisfactory one.

I’m curious how she has such a skill yet keeps it hidden; the Lu’s doesn’t have a perfume company, right?”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded, “No, they don’t.

The Lu Family is into shipping.

Perfumery is Zhenzhen’s personal hobby.

She’s loved it since she was young but doesn’t want to commercialize it.”

Anyway, Lu Zhenzhen won’t lack money in this lifetime.

Leaving a way out for the fragrance world is quite nice.

“That’s really a pity.”

Gu Qing picked a perfume, sprayed some on both herself and Nan Jiaojiao, and put the rest in a box, instructing the servant to take it to her room.

“Come on, I’ll take you to find Dad.

He’s been at the horse farm all morning.

I just heard he’s finally done, and he should be at the shooting range now.

You came just in time, otherwise, he’d drag you to ride horses.”

“That’s perfect.”

Nan Jiaojiao held the box close to her chest again.

The Pei Family’s estate was so large, they had to take a car to get there.

Sure enough, Elder Pei was at the shooting range, and even from afar, the sound of gunfire was audible.

He immediately noticed Nan Jiaojiao and came over with a gun in hand.

“Girl, catch.”

Nan Jiaojiao reached out and caught the handgun Elder Pei tossed over.

Her fingers wrapped around the holes, spun it a few times, and the grip fit neatly in her palm.

Standing outside the boundary line, she didn’t even use the tools the servant brought over.

With a few shots, each hit the center of the target until the chamber was empty.

Elder Pei laughed heartily, “Excellent skills, improved again, have you?”

“Not at all,” Nan Jiaojiao remained unfazed, “I haven’t done this in a long time, I’m rusty.”

“If this is rusty, then those kids under Old Li are just clumsy.”

Old Li is Chief of Staff Li, Yaen Chi’s grandfather.

People who can stand at the top of the pyramid in the Capital City share some connections.

Nan Jiaojiao dared not join the conversation.

When she used to wear a mask, she did a lot of unsavory things, and her hands still haven’t been washed clean.

Chief of Staff Li’s status is like a beacon of righteousness, standing there like daylight over the land.

She knew her own level and dared not compare.
