At 7:30 the next morning, it was already bright.
Last night's accumulated water reflected the blue sky, becoming broken mirrors scattered on the ground. The sunlight seemed to have been washed, and was exceptionally clear and bright.
Meng Sheng doesn't have a biological clock. He usually wakes up at seven or eight o'clock. Either he relies on an alarm clock, or he goes to bed early the night before and gets enough sleep, so he wakes up naturally.
She didn't go to bed early last night and was very tired, so she slept very soundly the whole night.
But her body's instinct knew exactly where she was, so as soon as Pei Sui came out of the wash, she sat up with her eyes half closed.
He looked like he hadn't slept well.
Pei Sui walked over and pinched her cheek, "It's still early, you should sleep a little longer."
"What time is breakfast usually at grandma's place?"
"Seven o'clock."
Meng Sheng tried hard to open his eyes and looked at the retro Western clock on the wall not far away. He was a little shocked, "It's already half past seven..."
Pei Sui chuckled. "It's okay. Grandma usually gets up early, so she eats breakfast early in the morning. We all eat breakfast in our respective courtyards. Don't worry. Just sleep a little longer. When you wake up, I'll have the kitchen bring food over."
Hearing this, Meng Sheng's tense body slowly relaxed.
That's good.
She said "Oh" and fell asleep again without any other concerns.
Pei Sui helped her cover herself with the quilt, readjusted the air conditioner in the room, and then tiptoed out of the room.
When I woke up again, it was already half past nine.
Without the strong sleepiness he had in the morning, Meng Sheng did not stay in bed. He just lifted the quilt and looked back at Pei Sui, who was sitting on the sofa not far away with his legs crossed and watching the tablet.
"woke up?"
He put the tablet down and walked to the edge of the bed, "Are you hungry?"
“A little.”
"Then go wash up first, I'll have someone bring breakfast."
"good."
Meng Sheng responded, put on his slippers, went to the cloakroom to get a set of clothes, and then went into the bathroom to wash up.
When I came out after changing my clothes, two servants were carrying trays and placing breakfast on the coffee table.
There were five or six breakfast items on the table, all in double portions, and they looked very exquisite.
She sat down and tasted the bird's nest and duck porridge first. It had a delicate texture and tasted really good.
When she felt that the empty feeling in her stomach was gone, she asked what was on her mind, "You haven't eaten yet?"
"Well, I'm waiting for you to eat together."
Pei Sui, "Soy milk or milk?"
milk……
When she heard this word, she couldn't help but think of the time when Shang Boyu drugged her milk. Ever since she knew this, she has been disgusted with milk from the bottom of her heart.
She frowned, "Soy milk."
"With sugar?"
"add."
Pei Sui scooped two spoonfuls of sugar from a small porcelain plate and put it into the soy milk, stirring it evenly before pushing it in front of her.
After they had breakfast quietly, Pei Sui took her for a walk in the yard, and then went to the old lady's yard to say goodbye.
Aunt Pei happened to be in the main hall.
After saying hello, Pei Sui said he was ready to return to the south of the city.
The old lady still tried to persuade them to stay for lunch before leaving, but Pei Sui declined on the grounds that he had something to do at his law firm.
The old lady didn't know what to say, so she raised her hand and asked the servant to bring up the things she had prepared in advance.
In addition to the eight gift boxes, there was also a bouquet of flowers that she had seen in the greenhouse yesterday afternoon.
The old lady even took two red envelopes wrapped in red silk from the servant and stuffed them into Meng Sheng's hands.
"Shengsheng, this is a gift from Grandpa Sui and I. Although he's long gone, he's always been thinking about this. Today, we can finally make his dream come true."
Meng Sheng was stunned. The two red envelopes that looked very thick caught her eyes.
She really overlooked this point.
When a girlfriend visits her husband for the first time, the man has to give her a gift.
Logically speaking, in addition to the old lady, Cui Xueheng, Cui Zhengqing and Cui Xueying should all give her a share.
However, not to mention that she had never thought about it at all, even if she had thought about it, she didn't have any extravagant expectations of the Cui family.
Since it was a gift for meeting someone, it would be pretentious for Meng Sheng to refuse it.
She took it graciously and said, "Thank you, grandma."
Pei Sui's aunt Pei Man also stood up at the right time and gave her a red envelope that looked slightly thinner than the two given by the old lady.
"Shengsheng, this is a gift from your aunt, please don't think it's too little."
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment, then took it and thanked him with a gentle and natural smile.
Pei Man was still somewhat critical of Meng Sheng, especially the fact that he was getting married for the second time. It was like a hurdle that she couldn't get over.
She always felt that such a person was not worthy of her nephew.
But she would not be so foolish as to show her thoughts openly, otherwise she would lose face for the Pei family and offend her own mother.
So she won't be stingy with the gift.
"We're all family, why be so polite? Today's ceremony was hastily prepared, so if there's anything inconsiderate, I hope you can forgive me."
"Aunt, you are too kind."
"Next time, let Asui take you to my place to play."
"good."
After the greetings, Meng Sheng and Pei Sui went to Qinghe Garden to handle the formalities.
Not only did Cui Xueheng, Cui Zhengqing and Cui Xueying not show up, but even Cui Yuanshan's cousins didn't show up.
Only Pei Huan came forward to say that Cui Xueheng was not feeling well.
After leaving Qingheyuan, she felt the disrespectful attitude of the Cui family and the grievances she suffered.
Pei Sui felt it necessary to apologize to her. After all, these were all the unprovoked disasters he had brought upon her.
Thinking of this, he felt a little heavy.
"I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."
Meng Sheng paused and glanced at him sideways.
Suddenly, she recalled the feeling of exhaustion as heavy as a mountain pressing down on her heart yesterday, which almost made her collapse and escape.
A thick sense of complexity rose in my heart again.
Under his deep gaze, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
Saying that it wasn't his fault seemed right, but also not quite right.
But this is easy to explain. She was willing to come to the Pei family with him. She suffered bullying from his mother, uncle, and aunt, but she did not turn around and leave. She also had problems.
Before coming here again, she had already learned about Pei Suihe's family situation.
In addition, Cui Xueheng had contacted her before, so she was somewhat prepared before coming.
She pursed her lips and spoke after a long while, "Pei Sui, I'm with you only because that person is you. I choose to follow my heart, so I don't regret accompanying you to the Pei family, but human endurance is limited."
The shadow of her previous marriage still remains with her, and she is afraid of repeating the same mistakes.
It was only because she felt that he was worth it, and because he stood firmly by her side, that she suppressed all her concerns and chose to give it a try with him.
But if something like yesterday happened again, she couldn't say what decision she would make.
Once some things come out, it is useless to suppress them no matter how hard you try.
She didn't want to escape, but she hadn't sorted out her thoughts yet, and she didn't have time to sort them out to talk to him about this issue.
When I heard his apology unexpectedly, the complex feeling that had come back inexplicably came up.
So, she couldn't help but say it out loud.
Although it sounded a bit ambiguous, she knew that Pei Sui understood it.
Pei Sui squeezed her palm hard and replied softly, "Yes, I know. Thank you."
Thank you for not turning your back on him and leaving yesterday, thank you for still being willing to hug him, and thank you for being able to tell him her feelings honestly now.
The Cui family treated Meng Sheng with such an arrogant attitude, which showed that they did not take him seriously.
It’s not so much that he looks down on her, but rather that his position in the Cui family’s hearts is insignificant.
The Cui family didn't care whether such embarrassment would embarrass Meng Sheng, or whether it would make him sad or heartbroken. They just wanted to vent all their prejudices against him on Meng Sheng, who seemed much easier to bully than him.
Two servants came over from a distance, disrupting their sudden and simple conversation.
