Qi Hongxuan had an apologetic expression on his face as he said to Lee Miaoyu, "I'm really sorry. When I heard Miss Lee call mother, I thought —"

Lee Miaoyu was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. It wasn't that she didn't know her place as a concubine. Yang Suyun was her birth mother, but she could only call her Aunt. Madame Xu was her proper mother.

It was just that due to her habit over the years, it was difficult for her to change her words. In addition, the manor did not pay that much attention to salutations. Everyone just kept one eye closed and one open, causing her to momentarily lose her composure in front of Qi Hongxuan.

She naturally understood that Qi Hongxuan, as a child of the House of the Marquis, must have placed a great deal of importance on the rules of the house. She shouldn't show an impolite expression in front of him, but now that she had said it, it was useless to regret.

She calmed herself down and revealed the sweetest smile she could find. She said crisply: "It's reasonable that Brother Qi didn't know that we had just arrived at Jiangdu. It's Miaoyu who didn't explain everything clearly to Brother Qi that this is Miaoyu's fault. Miaoyu will apologize to Brother Qi here." After saying that, she blessed Qi Hongxuan.

Qi Hongxuan slightly leaned to the side and did not let her bow. Seeing that she was so thick-skinned, he felt even more disgusted. His voice turned cold as he asked, "Is there anything else from Miss Lee?"

Hearing the change in Qi Hongxuan's voice, Lee Miaoyu looked up at him in confusion. She saw that his flawless, jade-like face looked a little unhappy, but she didn't know why, so she refused to give up this opportunity and said, "In order to express Miaoyu's apology, let's leave Miaoyu as the host to invite big brother Qi to lunch today."

Just as he was about to refuse, a thought flashed through his mind. He thought that he had never been to the Lee Mansion before, so he wondered if Lee Miaoyin's days there were as difficult as the rumors claimed.

Thinking of this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "There is no need to eat at a restaurant. If you sincerely apologize, then you can just invite me to your house to eat your usual dishes."

Lee Miaoyu was overjoyed when she heard this. This was a great chance to get into a relationship with someone. She did not expect things to go so smoothly. It seemed that Qi Hongxuan did not hate her because of this matter.

"Miaoyu is deeply honored that big brother Meng Qi has not abandoned us."

Her smile was brilliant and extremely bright. However, it was impossible for Qi Hongxuan to take another look at her. He only swept a glance at her and said lightly, "I don't remember that I have a sister like you. Just call me Young Master Qi from now on." After saying that, he did not care about Lee Miaoyu's reaction and directly walked forward. After walking two steps, he seemed to have thought of something and stopped to turn his head, "I have my own carriage, so I'll take my leave first. I'll wait for you at Lee Mansion's entrance."

Lee Miaoyu wanted to say more, but before she could say anything, Qi Hongxuan's figure had already disappeared. He was so anxious, as if someone was waiting for him at the Lee Mansion entrance.

Lee Miaoyu bit her lips, looking at the direction where Qi Hongxuan had disappeared, and whispered, "One day, if you don't want to leave me for even a moment, I will make you always carry me in your eyes."

Returning to the carriage that was assigned to her by the Lee Mansion, the crowded space, and the simple and crude decorations, all these made her feel extremely disgusted.

"Where's Lee Miaoyin?" Lee Miaoyu glanced at the people in the carriage. Seeing that there were only two siblings and no Lee Miaoyin, she asked Lee Miaoan.
