The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.
Ji Yuqi was suddenly awakened from his sleep.
The moment she opened her eyes, she stared at the room that seemed a little dim because of the black gauze curtains. Her mind was a little confused. At that moment, she was in a trance and could not tell where she was.
It was not until his sight came into view of the Pei family's tengtu that Ji Yuqi slowly came to his senses.
However, the moment she saw the time displayed on the wall clock, her scalp went numb.
Oh my god.
How come it’s already eight o’clock in the morning?!
Yesterday, when the housekeeper of the Pei residence informed her of the Pei family's meal time, he also specifically reminded her: Don't be late.
Breakfast is at 7:30 in the morning.
Ji Yuqi immediately sat up from the floor with great movement.
She subconsciously glanced at the big bed: empty.
He looked around anxiously and found that Pei Yucheng was no longer in the room. He didn't know when the man got up and left.
Really, he didn’t even call her to get up.
Seeing her being late for breakfast, does that make her happy, or what?!
Ji Yuqi was angry and annoyed.
As he hurriedly got up and tidied up the bed, Ji Yuqi realized: Not only did his arms and waist hurt, but his mouth hurt too. Why?!
She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her lips.
My arm hurts because I was bitten by a black tiger.
My lower back hurts because the floor is too hard for me to sleep on.
But, Ji Yuqi couldn't understand why his lips hurt.
Why is it hurting for no reason?!
…
First floor, restaurant.
When I hurried downstairs, everyone was already there. Pei's housekeeper was meticulously checking the temperature of the meals neatly placed on the dining table. If anything was cold, he would signal the servants to return to the kitchen to heat it up.
Ji Yuqi saw the servants clearing the dishes and thought they had already had breakfast.
Just as she was about to feel relieved, the old lady from the Pei family saw her and immediately smiled brightly, "Qianqi, you're up?! Why don't you sleep a little longer? It's still early."
"In order to wait for her, breakfast at 7:30 has been postponed to 8:30. Is it still early?! Grandma, don't you feel guilty for saying these things?! You've been crying out for hunger since the whole morning." Pei Huaijin was already furious at waiting for someone early in the morning. The moment he saw Ji Yuqi, his anger surged even more fiercely. He angrily confronted Ji Yuqi, "On the first day back home, you've made the entire Pei family wait. When did the Pei family mistress become so arrogant?!"
When Ji Yuqi heard Pei Huaijin using his status to disparage her, her face immediately turned red.
She hurried into the restaurant and apologized, "I'm sorry, I slept a little late last night. I won't do that again."
"I won't do that again. Do you still want to?!" Pei Huaijin yelled immediately, "Brother, look at your wife. She has no idea about etiquette. If you take her out in the future, it will be embarrassing."
Ji Yuqi suddenly bit his lip.
Ever since they met, Pei Huaijin liked to find fault with her and make her unhappy no matter what.
She had clearly apologized and made promises, so why was he still holding on to it?!
But, after all, the fault was his own, so Ji Yuqi didn't dare to say a word.
"Okay, stop arguing so early in the morning." When Pei Quyan closed the newspaper, he took off his glasses. He glanced at Ji Yuqi indifferently, said that it would not happen again, and asked Ji Yuqi to sit down.
Although Pei Quyan didn't say anything and his tone was not harsh, Ji Yuqi still felt very uncomfortable.
After all, the four words "not this time" can be heavy or light, and their meaning is too rich.
While the housekeeper of Pei's residence was leading the servants to serve them breakfast, Ji Yuqi secretly glanced at the man sitting in the main seat next to her.
In the final analysis, it was all the man's fault for getting up without waking her up.
Embarrass her in front of the whole family.
