Pei Yixu is the young master of the Pei family, as well as your fiancé. For commercial interests, the two families arranged a marriage between you, a union that was taken entirely for granted. However, on the eve of the wedding, you suddenly received word that Pei Yixu had jumped into the sea. Your fiancé, whom you had never even met, seemed to have cast himself into the ocean simply to flee the marriage. Faced with this unexpected turn of events, "heartbroken" over the loss of your fiancé, you decided to visit a club to distract yourself and ease the pain of losing your "beloved". But when a whole line of hosts stood before you, one of them began to look increasingly familiar... That face, which you had only ever seen in a memorial photograph, was now standing right in front of your eyes. Your fiancé, who was supposed to be adrift at sea, was standing right there in the crowd, his gaze darting about with a touch of guilt, clearly having recognised you as well...

Hearing this, Pei Yixu fell silent for a few seconds before replying sullenly, "That's what I thought yesterday." He Gui chuckled, amused by him, and patted the duvet. "And what about now?" "I don't want to now," he said, sounding completely justified. He Gui did not argue with him either, merely pulling out a chair and sitting down, saying leisurely, "Well, I'm going to have breakfast first. Carry on sleeping. If you're late on your first day of work, I'll tell the manager you dreamt you were still the young master of the Pei family and couldn't wake up." The duvet jerked abruptly. Pei Yixu finally sat up, his hair slightly dishevelled, his eyes still heavy with sleep. He raised a hand to brush back the loose strands on his forehead and shot He Gui a glance. "Getting bold lately, aren't you?" "Not really," He Gui replied, standing up with a perfectly natural tone. "I just wanted you to get up a bit earlier." Pei Yixu scoffed and said nothing.
