Chapter 125: Unbearable Itch: Trying to Cover Up Makes It More Obvious
The plane arrived in France at around noon.
Pei Yuning was wearing a matte blue one-shoulder miniskirt today. When she got off the plane, she shivered involuntarily when the cold wind blew.
It had just rained a little, and the sky was foggy and gloomy. Crystal clear raindrops dripped onto the ground along the branches of the French plane trees, and the air was damp and cold.
Shang Yanci took off his jacket, put it on her, and then put his hands around her shoulders to secure it to prevent it from slipping off.
His suit jacket was very large, reaching the middle of Pei Yuning's thigh. She was held in his arms, petite and delicate, and her whole body was enveloped by his warm breath.
Grandpa and grandma came to pick them up in person.
Grandpa brought freshly made brownies, Madeleine cakes, hot chocolate with vanilla, and lattes.
Grandma knew that Pei Yuning was afraid of heat, and she thought that with the temperature in northern Beijing, she would definitely come wearing a pretty short skirt, so she brought her a soft, ankle-length jacket.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Pei Yuning returned the suit jacket to Shang Yanci: "A Yan, put it on quickly. I'll wear the jacket that my grandmother brought."
"Okay." Shang Yanci took it and put it on.
Pei Yuning wore a soft coat and smiled, "Grandma, this fabric is so comfortable."
"As long as you like it." Grandma took out a wet towel and handed it to the two to wipe their hands.
Grandpa opened the dessert packaging and placed it on the table between the two of them.
Pei Yuning picked up the hot chocolate, warmed his palms, and took a sip: "Grandpa, it's delicious, sweet, and not greasy."
Grandpa looked at her and smiled lovingly: "When you want to drink, just ask grandpa to make it. I have tried a few new desserts recently. I will make them for Ningning when the time comes."
Pei Yuning's eyes sparkled, and he nodded in response: "Okay."
Shang Yanci raised his hand and pinched her soft cheek, then withdrew his hand in an instant and said slowly, "Ningning, I can do it, too."
"Take a few days off." Grandpa likes Pei Yuning so much that he praises her for everything. No one can provide such rich emotional value as she does.
Shang Yanci was about to refuse when Pei Yuning picked up the latte on the table and handed it to him.
Shang Yanci understood what she meant, and with a gentle expression, he took the latte and replied to his grandfather: "Okay."
Pei Yuning continued to eat dessert.
When she picked up another piece of Madeleine cake, her grandmother coaxed her like a child, stroked her long curly hair, and said softly: "Ningning, do you want to eat this one? The dishes for lunch are all your favorites. Save some appetite and have dessert at afternoon tea."
Pei Yuning said softly: "I understand."
Shang Yanci raised his eyes and looked at her meaningfully.
Pei Yuning was only paying attention to the delicious Madeleine cake in her hand and didn't notice his gaze.
After nearly an hour's journey, the extended Lincoln drove into the manor.
Pei Yuning was attracted by the scenery outside——
There are straight pines and cypresses on both sides of the road, and a pergola supported by eight Roman columns. Above the pergola is a glass structure with a circle of roses planted around the glass, like an exquisite wreath worn on a fairy's head.
The arched stone pillars of the corridor are planted with weeping jasmine, which is lush green and white as snow, making it seem like a fairyland.
The angel sculpture fountain is surrounded by colorful and gorgeous flowers, with gurgling water and fragrant flowers.
The five-story villa has delicately carved patterns on its off-white walls, a sapphire blue roof, and lush green ivy along the walls that climbs upward and extends its branches, just like the scenes in a fairy tale, resembling a princess's castle.
"We're home." Shang Yanci took her hand and got out of the car.
Once you enter the villa, you will see the beautiful decoration. There is a door that is designed as a French window. If you push it open, you can walk directly into the back garden.
When the weather is fine, even if you do nothing but sit here for an afternoon, you will feel very good.
A group of Filipino maids greeted Pei Yuning. Chinese food had already been served in the restaurant.
Shang Yanci took her to the bathroom to wash her hands and closed the door calmly.
Pei Yuning was held in his arms, her back resting on his full chest muscles. He held her hands and stretched them to the sink to rinse.
The dense stream of water brought a slight coolness, and Shang Yanci's warm palm stroked her ten fingers one by one, creating an alternation of cold and heat.
Pei Yuning: "Ayan, come on, why are you taking so long to wash?"
Shang Yanci did not respond.
Pei Yuning raised her eyes and was about to speak, but she found that Shang Yanci behind her was looking at her through the mirror.
The desire and restraint intertwined and hidden in his eyes easily aroused people's hearts.
It was not until her eyes fell on him that Shang Yanci slowly reached out to turn off the faucet, took out two tissues, and wiped her hands.
His tone was gentle, yet it carried a subtle and profound meaning: "Baby, why don't you treat me well?"
At first, Pei Yuning didn't react and was stunned for a moment. Then she remembered that when she was in the car, her grandmother told her not to eat any more after eating the Madeleine cake in her hand. She obediently agreed.
If it was Shang Yanci who said this to her, she would listen, but she would still eat the last one or two pieces of Madeleine cake. In short, she would not just say she didn't want to eat it.
In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on Pei Yuning, because Shang Yanci has always been too accustomed to her.
As long as she didn't touch his bottom line, she would always say what she said, and Shang Yanci would never refute her. Even if she was wrong, he would still think she was right. He was always subjective to her and it was difficult for him to treat her objectively.
Pei Yuning chuckled and said in a coquettish tone: "What, Cici, you are even jealous of your grandma?"
Shang Yanci whispered, "Well, because I am 'Ci Ci'."
Pei Yuning's heart was instantly touched by his words, and she turned around, stood on tiptoe, and touched the back of Shang Yanci's neck, saying in a sweet voice: "Cici, you are so cute."
Before he finished speaking, Pei Yuning kissed his thin lips, with only one thought in her mind, which was to get close to him.
His answer just now was so adorable. I liked it so much. It was like that of a childish kid. It was completely different from his usual gentle, calm, steady and elegant self. This sense of difference was simply so adorable.
Shang Yanci couldn't restrain his unhesitating reply just now, just like he couldn't restrain his response to Pei Yuning's initiative to kiss her. He bent down and came closer, took his hand on her soft waist, and gently squeezed her waist.
In a deep kiss, the sound of water stains from the exchange of kisses is inevitably subtle.
Outside the bathroom, the Filipino maids could be heard walking back and forth. Pei Yuning followed them nervously, afraid that someone would hear the intimate sounds of their kiss.
Shang Yanci picked her up and continued to kiss her while turning on the faucet, making the sound of running water even louder.
Pei Yuning was kissed so passionately by him that she didn't want to kiss him anymore, so she tilted her head back and gently pushed him away with her hand.
Shang Yanci held her lips and tongue, his palms gently and forcefully clasped her neck, and continued to kiss her deeply without giving her any chance to refuse. After a moment, he slowly withdrew with great reluctance.
He opened his thin lips and bit Pei Yuning's small earlobe. His voice was low and elegant: "Baby, you were the one who took the initiative to kiss me, and you were also the one who wanted to push me away after kissing enough. Am I so playful?"
