Chapter 637 She's Very Well-Behaved (Sixty-Six)
Shang Shang was shocked because it was New Year's Eve, and Du Mengmeng should have been celebrating the New Year with her parents.
Although Du Mengmeng's parents are open-minded, Mengmeng still has to go home for these holidays.
Moreover, the fact that Yan Lei answered Du Mengmeng's call at this moment felt rather strange.
Before Yan Lei could even speak, Du Mengmeng shrieked, "Yan Shitou, who told you to answer my call?"
Then the call was disconnected.
Shang Shang looked at her phone in surprise, then at Pei Yanli: "What's going on? It's Chinese New Year, why is Mengmeng with Yan Lei?"
Pei Yanli considered a possibility, but was unsure: "Maybe they're together?"
Shang Shang exclaimed in surprise, even more shocked: "When? How come I didn't know?"
After a while, just as Shang Shang and Pei Yanli were about to go down to watch the fireworks, Du Mengmeng called again.
He immediately apologized to Shangshang: "Shangshang, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just didn't know how to say it."
Shang Shang was stunned again: "You and Yan Lei are really together?"
Du Mengmeng nodded and said, "Yes, I was thinking that you'd be busy during the Chinese New Year, so I was going to tell you in a couple of days."
Shang Shang clicked her tongue twice: "You didn't tell Nini either?"
Du Mengmeng hummed in agreement again: "No, I just don't know how to say it."
Shang Shang chuckled: "Alright, we forgive you. It's a good thing that you and Yan Lei are together. What's wrong with saying that? Of course, we congratulate you."
After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Your uncle and aunt know too? Yan Lei spent the New Year at your house?"
Du Mengmeng smiled and said, "No, my parents went abroad for the Chinese New Year and asked me to go with them, but I didn't want to."
Shang Shang said, "Okay, then you and Yan Lei have a good New Year together. See you later. But... well, you two should be careful not to create a little life."
Du Mengmeng screamed, "Shangshang, you've gone bad now!"
Shang Shang laughed and hung up the phone, then went over and took Pei Yanli's arm: "Let's go see the fireworks."
Pei Yanli glanced at her: "Are you in a good mood today?"
Shang Shang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this year is really good. Nini and Mengmeng have both found their own happiness."
She smiled and said, "Of course, there's also me, for meeting someone as wonderful as you."
Pei Yanli was taken aback for a moment, then reached out and hugged her: "Why do you always try to make me happy?"
Shang Shang blinked: "So, are you happy?"
Pei Yanli thought for a moment and nodded: "This is the happiest New Year I've ever had in my life."
Shang Shang smiled and tiptoed to kiss his chin: "Then I hope we can be together every year from now on, and always be this happy."
...
Shang Shang didn't meet Du Mengmeng until the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.
With many relatives, Shang Shang spent every day celebrating the New Year with Pei Yan. It wasn't until the tenth of the lunar month, when Wang Jianni and Chen Shuo returned from their honeymoon abroad, that the three friends finally had time to meet.
Wang Jianni brought gifts for both of them.
Du Mengmeng looked at the exquisite bag and exclaimed, "Nini, Chen Shuo is really something! He even let you buy such an expensive bag for us."
Wang Jianni smiled as she watched Shang Shang try on clothes, then went over to tug at the hem of her dress: "When I saw this dress, I thought it would suit you perfectly. What do you think? Doesn't it look great?"
Du Mengmeng glanced at it and nodded in agreement: "It suits our Shangshang perfectly, making her look like a little princess in a castle."
Shangshang took a look around and liked it very much.
After sharing the gifts with a smile, Wang Jianni asked Du Mengmeng directly, "Mengmeng, what's going on? Didn't you and Yan Lei say it was impossible? How did you end up together?"
Shang Shang nodded in agreement: "Yeah, how did you two end up together?"
Du Mengmeng suddenly blushed and exclaimed, "I knew I couldn't escape it. It's all because of that day, the night of your wedding. I accidentally drank too much, and then... I slept with Yan Lei."
Shang Shang's eyes widened in shock: "Really?"
Wang Jianni was also shocked: "No, didn't you dislike him? Didn't you treat him like a brother? How could you make a mistake?"
Du Mengmeng sighed: "Maybe I'm just a coward. I actually like him too. It's just that I had a few drinks, and the alcohol emboldened me. And then... and then it happened."
"Afterwards, Yan Lei kept pressing me to take responsibility, saying it was his first time... What could I do?"
Shang Shang asked curiously, "How did you know it was your first time?"
Du Mengmeng looked at Shang Shang and chuckled: "Because he really has no experience, it doesn't seem like he's faking it. I'll tell you some secrets later, and you can also observe Pei Yanli."
Shang Shang blushed and said, "You really are...you really are an old rogue. I'm not talking to you anymore."
Wang Jianni nudged Du Mengmeng: "Alright, stop teasing us Shangshang. When are you going to treat us to dinner? When are you planning to get married?"
Du Mengmeng worriedly said, "It's okay to go public with our relationship, but I don't know about marriage. I'm a little scared when I think about getting married."
Shang Shang pointed at Wang Jiani: "What are you afraid of? Yan Lei is definitely not like that scumbag. Besides, with Nini around, even if you get divorced, she can help you get half of Yan Lei's assets."
“I heard from Pei Yanli that Yan Lei’s business has grown a lot in the past two years and he has quite a lot of assets.”
Du Mengmeng: "..."
Wang Jianni nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I'm a professional in this area now. You can consult me if you have any questions."
Du Mengmeng chuckled: "You guys are really my best friends. I'm not even married yet, and you're already planning my divorce and division of assets?"
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's wait a bit longer. I want to marry Shangshang."
Wang Jianni pouted and said, "If I had known it would be like this, I would have waited for you all to get married together. Wouldn't it have been great if the three of us got married together?"
Shang Shang quickly waved her hand: "That won't do. You and Chen Shuo were the matchmakers for Mengmeng and Yan Lei. If it weren't for your wedding, they wouldn't be together."
Wang Jianni thought about it and realized it was true: "Later, we should let Yan Lei organize a gathering and make him spend a lot of money."
The three sisters didn't go home until very late.
After that, Shangshang got very busy.
Shen Fanxing became the most idle person in the family. Chen Shuo handled all the company affairs, and she would only occasionally go to check the feng shui of the company.
He usually just stays at home, and several elderly people take turns bringing him food and drinks.
Shang Xingzhou and Su Li even delivered nutritional supplements to their home by the truckload.
Jiang Zhizhi was both amused and exasperated: "Are you planning to fatten Fanxing up like a baby?"
Shen Fanxing sat happily on the sofa. This kind of life, where she didn't even have to turn over, was what she had always dreamed of.
In March, Pei Yanli took a long leave to go back to his hometown.
Shang Shang was originally going to the airport to see him off, but a data problem in the lab trapped her in the lab for a day and a night studying the data. By the time she came out, she had already missed Pei Yanli's flight.
Shangshang returned home full of regret, and even during dinner, she seemed somewhat dejected.
As Shen Fanxing ate her rice, she looked at Shang Shang, somewhat reluctant to tell her something...
