Chapter 117 I Love You the Most

Pei Yuning: [I haven’t heard him mention it.]

After sending this message, grandpa never replied. Pei Yuning felt something was wrong. Grandpa, like Shang Yanci, was a person who would politely wait for others to reply to messages. He would not suddenly stop replying in the middle of a conversation.

If Shang Yanci had only returned to France to visit her grandparents and deal with the affairs of the Sinoel Group, there would have been no need for her grandfather to ask her this. There must be something she didn't know.

Pei Yuning found a Bluetooth headset and put it on, then called her grandfather. The call was answered quickly. As she expected, her grandfather did not suddenly stop calling, but did not know how to call back.

Grandpa: “…Ningning.”

Pei Yuning asked bluntly: "Grandpa, what is the reason for Ah Yan to return to France this time?"

Grandpa sighed and told me the truth: "The 20th of this month is the anniversary of my daughter Chu Daiqi's death. Every year at this time, Xiaoci feels particularly disgusted, thinking that his birth deprived his mother of her life. Although he never mentions this, your grandmother and I can see it. Ningning, will you accompany Xiaoci to sweep the grave this time?"

Hearing this, Pei Yuning felt a knot in his throat and opened and closed his mouth several times, wanting to say something to comfort her, but his words were poor.

Her few words could not smooth things over; no matter how much she said, it would all be powerless and pale.

Finally, she said slowly, "Grandpa, I will always be with Ah Yan, you and grandma can rest assured."

Grandpa's voice was slightly choked: "Well, don't worry."

Pei Yuning heard footsteps coming from the corridor and whispered, "Grandpa, Ah Yan is here. I won't say anything more."

Grandpa: "Okay, go to bed early."

Pei Yuning said "hmm", and just as Shang Yanci pushed the door open, he hung up the phone, took off his Bluetooth headset and put it away.

Shang Yanci held a cup of boiled vanilla milk in his hand. Seeing Pei Yuning already lying on the bed, he walked towards her and asked in a gentle voice, "Baby, why are you up so early tonight?"

"Yeah." Pei Yuning lifted the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, and put his arms around Shang Yanci's waist, "You..."

"What's wrong?" Shang Yanci put the vanilla milk on the bedside table and gently stroked her long and soft curly hair.

Pei Yuning didn't continue what he just said, and changed the subject: "...Why did you come in just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Shang Yanci's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a smile: "I'm wrong. I won't let the baby wait next time."

Pei Yuning rubbed the white shirt he was wearing and looked up at him: "Ci Ci, go wash up quickly, I want to hold you."

Shang Yanci didn't notice her abnormality, because the two of them were usually so affectionate. He bent down and kissed her little face, and said softly, "Okay, you can drink the vanilla milk now."

Pei Yuning said "hmm".

Shang Yanci picked up his bathrobe and underwear and walked into the bathroom.

Pei Yuning picked up the vanilla milk on the bedside table. As the sound of the shower started in the bathroom, her tears instantly burst out and dripped into the glass of vanilla milk, creating two small splashes of water.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, took a few deep breaths, and forced herself to suppress the sadness in her heart. She couldn't cry, she couldn't cry.

Shang Yanci washed up quickly, and when he walked out of the bathroom, Pei Yuning had only drunk half a cup of vanilla milk. His eyes touched her eyes, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "Baby, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Pei Yuning drank a sip of vanilla milk and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

Shang Yanci walked to the bed and sat down, leaning in close and kissing her eyes: "Red."

Pei Yuning's heart trembled, and he pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay, my eyelash just fell into my eye, rub it a few times, it will be fine after a while."

"Well." Shang Yanci looked at the expression on her face and didn't think she was lying, so he felt relieved and chuckled, "After you finish drinking the vanilla milk, I'll carry you to brush your teeth."

Pei Yuning wanted to kiss him and asked, "Cici, have you brushed your teeth?"

Shang Yanci: "No, I'll wait for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yuning put her hands on his shoulders and kissed his thin lips.

Shang Yanci held her soft waist with one hand and took the vanilla milk from her hand with the other hand. He turned from passive to active, pressed his lips and tongue into hers, and kissed her neck.

The kiss smells like sweet vanilla, with the sound of water stains coming one after another, ambiguous and sticky.

After kissing for a while, Shang Yanci withdrew. The vanilla milk left in the glass had been cooled by the air conditioner. He did not let Pei Yuning continue drinking it. He drank it himself, picked her up in his hands and walked towards the bathroom.

When brushing her teeth, Pei Yuning held the toothbrush in her right hand and placed her left hand against Shang Yanci's palm on her lower abdomen.

Shang Yanci bent down, rubbed his cheek against her small, white ear, and said in a low, mellow voice, like an invisible hook, teasing her nonchalantly: "Baby, didn't you say you would make me regret it tonight? What should I do?"

Pei Yuning blinked her beautiful eyes and shook her head: "I didn't say that. Don't slander me. How could I do something that would make you regret it? Cici, you know I can't bear it."

Hearing this, Shang Yanci paused while brushing his teeth, and stared at her with his amber eyes: "Baby, what happened to you tonight?"

Pei Yuning snorted softly, and said in a coquettish tone: "Does it belong exclusively to you to say sweet words? Can't I say a few words to you?"

Shang Yanci said gently: "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

Pei Yuning picked up the cup and before drinking water and rinsing his mouth, he ordered: "I will punish you to go to the guest bedroom tonight. I won't sleep with you anymore."

After saying that, she gargled.

"Baby, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time, okay?" Shang Yanci reached out and grabbed her hair to prevent her from falling into the pool.

Pei Yuning just said it casually. How could she really let him sleep in the guest room? If Shang Yanci really slept in the guest room, she would be the one who would be most uncomfortable.

Taking the towel handed to her by Shang Yanci, Pei Yuning said in a coquettish voice: "Don't make it an exception next time. I'll forgive you this time."

Shang Yanci chuckled softly: "Thank you, Princess."

Pei Yuning filled the cup with water and handed it to Shang Yanci.

After brushing his teeth, Shang Yanci carried Pei Yuning back to the bed. They lay on their sides and naturally leaned in to kiss, very intimate.

The bedroom ceiling light was off, leaving only the dim glow of a night light.

Pei Yuning's cheeks were tinged with a cute light pink, her eyes were sparkling, and she expressed her feelings to Shang Yanci without any reservation: "Cici, I love you so much."

Shang Yanci hugged her shoulders, squeezed them gently, kissed her forehead, and said in a gentle and tender voice: "Baby, I love you too."

Pei Yuning placed her hand on his heart: "I love you the most."

Shang Yanci was very thoughtful. After hearing her words, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and he asked in a harsh voice, "Did you hear something?"
