Fu Sheng looked at the entrance to the winding mountain road. The barrier with the Pei family logo was still blocking the way. He subconsciously bit his lip and tried to turn the steering wheel. "I'll take you up."
Ji Yuqi refused.
This was the first time Fu Sheng lost his temper with Ji Yuqi.
His eyes were red: "He won't even open the road barrier for you, Ji Yuqi, what on earth are you going back for?!"
…
At eleven o'clock in the evening, after Aunt Liu was sure Pei Nianzhi was sound asleep, she went down from the master bedroom on the second floor. As she turned the corner of the stairs, she saw Ji Yuqi still sitting quietly on the sofa in the living room, his face extremely grim. She frowned immediately.
When Liu Tong sent a car to pick up Ji Yuqi from the foot of the mountain, Aunt Liu realized that something was wrong.
But she couldn't tell what was wrong.
All we can roughly see is that she and Pei Yucheng probably had another fight.
Why are you arguing?!
Didn't the two of them plan to have dinner together?!
Pei Yucheng also asked Tang Ye to deliver the ring.
Although Aunt Liu had never seen what the ring looked like, she had seen it many times on the bedside table when she led the servants to clean Pei Yucheng's room over the years. She didn't know when Pei Yucheng locked it in the safe in the study.
Aunt Liu stood at the stairs for a moment, then walked towards Ji Yuqi.
She asked Ji Yuqi why he hadn't rested yet.
Seeing that Ji Yuqi didn't say anything, Aunt Liu continued, "You are not in good health. You must rest on time to recover as soon as possible."
Aunt Liu talked a lot.
But Ji Yuqi didn't respond.
After all, their statuses were different, so it was not convenient for Aunt Liu to say too much, and in the end she could only return to Dongyuan.
Aunt Liu said that Pei Yucheng is not a child, so if he doesn’t come back, there is no need to worry too much. Eating well and sleeping well are more important than anything else.
Although Aunt Liu was right, Ji Yuqi still wanted to call Pei Yucheng.
After all, Pei Yucheng's driving speed at that time was simply crazy.
She was really worried that something might happen to him.
However, thinking of his furious look, she didn't dare to call him.
Finally, she decided to message him.
She opened WeChat and saw Pei Yucheng's name at the top.
He opened the dialog box, edited it over and over again, and finally sent a message asking: [Pei Yucheng, where are you?! What time will you be back?!]
Unfortunately, after waiting for half an hour, there was no reply from Pei Yucheng.
…
Late at night, at 11:40, Ji Yuqi stood at the main gate of the house and looked out. He found it was pitch black and there was no sign of any vehicles entering the house. He hesitated whether to call Pei Yucheng.
Unexpectedly, a maid came running over from the flower garden: "Miss Ji, Aunt Liu wants to see you and asks you to go to the East Garden."
After hearing this, Ji Yuqi was immediately confused.
The Pei family divided the garden into four parts, named after the east, south, west and north.
The East Courtyard was the residence of high-ranking servants.
Ji Yuqi didn't understand why Aunt Liu asked her to go to Dongyuan.
Whenever there was something, Aunt Liu would always come to her on her own initiative.
Turning her head to glance out the French window, she felt that Pei Yucheng might not be back tonight. She hesitated for a moment and decided to go to the East Garden. After all, Aunt Liu always took the initiative to find her when there was something. The first time she asked the maid to pass the message to her, it must be very important. Ji Yuqi thought, after going there as soon as possible, she would go to the guest bedroom on the first floor to rest when she came back.
She had such an unpleasant quarrel with Pei Yucheng.
It would be good if we could calm each other down.
Although Dongyuan was the residence of high-ranking servants.
But there are more detailed divisions.
In other words: huge area.
Ji Yuqi had never been to Dongyuan.
Although she knew the general direction, Ji Yuqi didn't know exactly where Aunt Liu's room was.
She immediately asked the maid who delivered the message to take her there.
The maid nodded.
The road from the main house to the East Garden is quite long.
Along the way, although the street lights were bright, it was too quiet. Ji Yuqi always felt that there was something strange behind her, as if she was being stared at by a pair of eyes. She turned around suddenly, but found nothing.
That feeling of having a thorn in your back is very scary.
Ji Yuqi stood still, looking back and scanning the area behind him.
Seeing this, the maid asked her what was wrong.
Ji Yuqi shook his head.
The Pei family's territory has always been heavily guarded.
What's more, it is the residence of the head of the family.
There are guards patrolling 24 hours a day.
There can be no dangerous people.
Ji Yuqi felt that he was thinking too much.
The maid took her to a room in the East Garden and said, "Aunt Liu will be here soon, please wait a moment."
Ji Yuqi nodded.
As a result, she sat in the room for half an hour, but Aunt Liu still didn't come.
After waiting for a long time, Ji Yuqi got up and wanted to go out and take a look.
Who knew that when I turned the door lock, I found that I couldn't open it from the inside...
…
It was one o'clock in the morning when Pei Yucheng returned to the Yu Mansion, drunk.
He stood at the entrance hall.
Glancing at the empty hall, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips coldly.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Aunt Liu called him and told him that Ji Yuqi was waiting for him.
Aunt Liu scolded him a lot.
They said Ji Yuqi was very stubborn. He would never rest until he came back.
He also said that Ji Yuqi had just recovered from a serious injury and his body couldn't bear it.
But, this is what she called "waiting"? !
Not even a shadow of a person can be seen...
Haha~!!
Pei Yucheng threw his coat on the ground.
He walked upstairs with a somewhat unsteady and stumbling step.
However, as soon as I came out of the entrance hall and turned a corner, I caught a glimpse of a dark figure out of the corner of my eye and suddenly entered the guest room on the first floor.
That was the room where Ji Yuqi stayed in the Imperial Mansion.
Pei Yucheng's brows furrowed, he paused, and immediately walked over quickly.
Just as he was about to push the door open, Ji Yuqi's angry voice came from inside: "Han Yi, you keep pestering me, what on earth do you want to do?!"
"What do you mean by 'I want to do what I want to do'?! Do you think that just because you're back with Pei Yucheng, you can use his power to get rid of me?! Ji Yuqi, you need my support. When you begged me to marry you in Country M, you knelt at my feet. What kind of humble face did you put on?!"
