PEI Yi had returned to the capital.
When Jiang se received his call, she was tipsy, but she immediately sobered up.
She was supposed to drive her home first. However, after receiving a call from PEI Yi, she learned that he was at the Chaoyang court. PEI Yi wanted to pick her up, but Jiang se rejected him and asked mo Anqi to drive her home. It was almost midnight by the time she arrived.
When she alighted from the car, her steps were already steady. Xia Chaoqun was afraid that she would catch a cold at night, so he threw a scarf at her before he alighted.
When she reached the entrance of the pilgrimage court, she was about to call PEI Yi to ask him where he was. However, before she could even touch the zipper of her bag, she saw PEI Yi squatting in front of the steps with a bandage on one hand. She had no idea how long he had been squatting there.
