After all that commotion, she was in a daze again, feeling confused and disoriented.
Finally, he carried her out of the bathroom with her eyes closed. When she woke up again, the sun was already shining on her bottom.
She opened her eyes and looked towards Xu Tingchuan's side, only to find that he was no longer in bed. She reached out and touched the bed on his side, but it was no longer warm. It seemed that he had been up for a while.
Ni Sitian was very tired, so her mind went blank, and she stared blankly at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.
After a while, she recovered and her mind cleared up. She sat up abruptly and glanced at the wall clock.
It's already 10 o'clock!!
She immediately jumped out of bed, rushed into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, changed her clothes as quickly as possible, and hurriedly ran downstairs.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is customary to pay respects to the elders in the family. Moreover, as a new bride, it is her first time paying respects to her parents-in-law, so she should get up even earlier.
It's already high in the sky, and she's only just gotten up. What are her in-laws going to think?
It's all Xu Tingchuan's fault. She was supposed to wake up at seven o'clock, but she insisted on messing around in the bathroom, forcing her to go back to sleep.
And he was already up, so why didn't he wake her up?
As Ni Sitian ran downstairs, she silently cursed Xu Tingchuan a thousand times in her heart.
When we got downstairs, we saw Butler Wang tidying up the tea and fruit.
"Good morning, young mistress." Butler Wang bowed slightly to Ni Sitian as she came downstairs and asked with a smile, "Would you like breakfast, young mistress?"
It's almost lunchtime, how could she possibly ask someone to prepare breakfast for her now!
"Uncle Wang, where are Mom and Dad?" Ni Sitian looked at the tea, which was still steaming, so they must have just had morning tea.
"They've all gone to the vegetable garden." Uncle Wang explained when he saw Ni Sitian's confusion: "If you walk a few hundred meters from here, there's a river with several greenhouses by the river. Those are the Xu family's vegetable gardens. The Xu family grows many of their own organic fruits and vegetables. The master and young master said they wanted to have a big lunch today, so they went to the garden to pick vegetables."
"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Ni Sitian nodded her thanks and ran out quickly.
They had all gone to pick vegetables, and she didn't want to sit at home and enjoy the fruits of their labor alone, so she quickly ran to the riverbank that Uncle Wang had mentioned.
Sure enough, there were several greenhouses by the river, and Xu Haicheng was sitting on the riverbank fishing.
"Dad," Ni Sitian called out as she walked over quickly.
"Shh, don't disturb the fish." Xu Haicheng gestured for her to be quiet.
Ni Sitian immediately shut her mouth, watching Xu Haicheng stare intently at the float. This float was one of the ones she had bought for him, and she hadn't expected him to actually be using it.
She looked at Xu Haicheng's profile. He and Xu Tingchuan didn't look that alike. He had a more refined and gentle temperament and a relatively cheerful personality. At over fifty years old, he was very well-maintained. Apart from a few gray hairs at his temples, he looked like he was in his forties.
He was also quite young-looking, with no sign of a potbelly, tall and slender, as graceful as a bamboo or pine tree.
Why would such a good-looking and charming man make that kind of mistake?
Hearing his voice begging for forgiveness last night, he must really care about Jin Rulan. If he cares so much, why did he...?
Sighing inwardly, Ni Sitian turned her gaze away and looked towards the greenhouses. She saw Xu Jiayue in one of the greenhouses and quickly went over to her.
Xu Jiayue was squatting down picking strawberries when she saw Ni Sitian coming and waved to her.
Ni Sitian walked over to join her, but Xu Jiayue stopped picking strawberries, squinting her smiling eyes at her with a meaningful smile.
