Chapter 122 Reward

Shang Yanci's slender fingers hooked up the strap of her nightgown, and he looked at her flirtatiously, saying bluntly, "Baby, I admit that I'm very jealous, but at the same time I'm also very sensible. I didn't think about it and asked you to replace your male assistant, so you have to reward me for being sensible."

Pei Yuning's beautiful eyes narrowed, she put her arm around his neck, and kissed him softly with her red lips: "A kiss as a reward."

"Not enough." Along with these two words came Shang Yanci's burning kiss.

Her heart was gripped, Pei Yuning was tightly entangled by the scent of his body, like the rising tide in spring, enveloping her.

The veins on the back of Shang Yanci's hand were throbbing, his amber eyes were deep and ambiguous. He moved closer, kissed her rosy ears with his thin lips, and coaxed her in a low and elegant voice: "Good girl, yes, that's it, so good."

Pei Yuning's wrist was held by him, and she followed his gentle and polite lead and walked towards him without stopping.

Shang Yanci stared at her with burning eyes.

Pei Yuning's cheeks flushed, and she closed her eyes and dared not look at him. Shang Yanci was not as gentle as before at times. Once his long-term restraint got out of control, he would indulge himself into the whirlpool of desire without hesitation.

Shang Yanci pinched her cheek with his hot palm, licked and kissed her tender lips, and coaxed in a low voice: "Baby, open your eyes and look at me."

Pei Yuning's heart trembled suddenly and he paused.

The muscles in Shang Yanci's lower back tensed up like a sharp bow, and he said in a low, hoarse voice, "Don't stop."

Pei Yuning frowned slightly, opened her eyes, and said in a coquettish tone: "You have too many requests, I am almost overwhelmed!"

Shang Yanci chuckled softly, leaned into her soft neck, and said tenderly, "Okay, I won't say anything, baby, please do as you please."

Pei Yuning was a person who set high standards for herself. As she was very familiar with Shang Yanci's body and had learned from his persuasive teaching methods in the past, she could control him to a certain extent.

Summer nights are rainy, and the bright moon and stars are soaked by the rain, making them clear and bright.

Shang Yanci closed his eyes, bit her neck lightly, and whispered to her some blushing and heart-pounding words.

Pei Yuning reached out and pushed him, whispering, "I'm sleepy."

Shang Yanci put a new nightgown on her, wiped her hands with a wet tissue, kissed her forehead, and said softly, "Baby, go to sleep first. I'll go take a shower."

"Okay." Pei Yuning responded lazily and fell asleep in less than a minute. She was really sleepy as she was very busy with the finishing work in the past few days.

Shang Yanci hung up the washed nightgown and when he walked to the bed, Pei Yuning's breathing was already steady and in a deep sleep.

He gently lifted the quilt, lay down, and held her in his arms. He squeezed her wrists, kissed the corners of her eyes, and whispered, "Good night, baby."

On Friday afternoon, Pei Yuning left work early after finishing work. She had already prepared a meeting gift for her aunt. However, she asked the salesgirl for many recommendations for a meeting gift for Chu Yiying, but none of them satisfied her.

She decided to go back to the dowry room in Wentang Palace to look for inspiration. The dowries her family gave her were all treasures. If she saw one that she liked, she would buy one of similar style for Chu Weiying.

After driving back to Wentang Palace, Pei Yuning walked into the dowry room, picked up the tablet beside her, and looked at the diagram of the dowry's storage arrangement.

Pei Yuning's eyes touched the aquamarine jade bracelet on her left wrist. Jewelry like jade will never go out of style. So she searched for "jade bracelet" on her tablet and it was displayed on the 91st shelf.

Pei Yuning walked to the ninety-one-rack sandalwood cabinet and opened the jewelry boxes one by one from left to right, looking at the jade bracelets inside. If she found a nice one, she would take a photo to keep as a record.

Pei Yuning picked up the next jewelry box inlaid with beads and crane pattern, opened it and took a look. Inside was a pair of white jade bracelets of ordinary color, not even as valuable as the jewelry box outside.

She took out one of them and examined it carefully under the light. She found that the bracelet had been broken into two pieces before. The broken part was inlaid with gold thread and a magnolia pattern was drawn on it.

The dusty memory tore a tiny crack, and Pei Yuning remembered belatedly that this was the jade bracelet given to Jiang Minzhi by her grandmother. How did it appear in her dressing room?

She put the jade bracelet and the jewelry box back to their original place, walked to the place where the trousseau was kept, opened the long trousseau, and read through it line by line.

It was too long and she lost her patience, so Pei Yuning started to read from the back to the front, and finally saw a part of the dowry that did not originally belong to her, but was added by Jiang Xuanzhi later.

Pei Yuning stood there for a moment, not understanding why Jiang Minzhi wanted to give her the jade bracelet given by her grandmother as a makeup accessory.

The four words "a mediocre person disturbs himself" have never been associated with Pei Yuning, but his mood will definitely be affected to a certain extent.

She rolled up the trousseau and put it away, then walked to the sandalwood cabinet. Without looking at the other jade bracelets, she picked up the jewelry box with the pearl-inlaid crane pattern and left the trousseau.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Pei Yuning opened the photo album on his mobile phone and looked at the photos he had just taken one by one. He finally decided on a red jade bracelet and sent the photos to his assistant, asking her to buy it and send it to Yuhua Mingyuan.

The car was driving smoothly. Pei Yuning placed her hand on the bag containing the beaded crane-patterned jewelry box, and looked out the window at the scenery receding.

Arriving at the main house, Pei Yuning did not go in immediately after getting off the car, but looked at the jasmine in the flowerbed nearby.

Pei Yuning turned around and saw Shang Yanci approaching her until she heard the car door behind her close. She was stunned for a moment and said softly, "A Yan."

Shang Yanci looked at the fleeting blank expression on her face, walked over, took her hand, kissed her cheek, and asked gently: "Baby, why don't you go in?"

Pei Yuning just stood there for a long time thinking about whether she should ask her grandmother about Jiang Xuanzhi adding makeup to her.

She had not felt any entanglement before returning home, but when she stood at the door of the main house, she found that it was impossible not to feel entangled. She was a human being, and as a human being, she would be wavering and have many thoughts.

But when she saw Shang Yanci appear in front of her, she suddenly had the answer in her heart. Whether she asked her grandmother or not, it could not change the fact that Jiang Xuanzhi had already added makeup to her, so there was no need to worry about it.

But she didn't intend to tell Shang Yanci about this, lest he think of his mother and develop what her grandfather called "self-loathing" emotions.

Pei Yuning hugged Shang Yanci's sensual waist and abdomen, raised his chin slightly, and pointed at the flowerbed: "I was looking at Jasmine and thought of you."

Shang Yanci would never ask her to tell him immediately about something she didn't want to say. Everyone has their own secrets, and even husband and wife can't share all of each other's secrets 100%. He would wait until she was willing to tell him.

Shang Yanci lifted her chin with his fingers, turned her to face him, and coaxed her in a low voice: "Baby, look at me, don't look at Jasmine."
