Chapter 131 Marry first, fall in love later

Pei Yuning suppressed his surprise, lightened his steps, and left quietly.

After going downstairs, Pei Yuning walked to the side hall. Several elders were still playing mahjong. A thick stack of red banknotes was piled in front of his grandmother. Shang Yanci was not there.

No one noticed Pei Yuning, and she quietly left again. Going upstairs to the bedroom was risky, what if Chu Weiying and Shen Huaiche were still kissing?

Pei Yuning then sat on the sofa in the living room, picked up his phone, and sent a WeChat message to Shang Yanci: [A Yan, where are you?]

Ah Yan: [In the study, baby, do you want to go out and play? The elders will play mahjong until the evening.]

Pei Yuning: [I don’t want to go out, you should focus on your work first.]

Ah Yan: [After finishing my work, I went back to the bedroom but didn’t see you. Did you go downstairs?]

Pei Yuning recalled what he had seen when he went downstairs just now, and said: "Well, when you go downstairs, please walk lightly, as my sister and her family are still sleeping."

Ah Yan: [Okay.]

After a minute or two, Shang Yanci came down from the building. His footsteps were so light that they were barely audible over the sound of mahjong. His face was calm, and he probably didn't see anything.

Shang Yanci walked up to her, held her cheeks with his hands, bent down and kissed her.

Now there was only her and him in the hall, so Pei Yuning let him kiss her for a while.

Shang Yanci asked in a gentle voice: "Baby, I made strawberry dessert this morning. Do you want to eat it?"

Pei Yuning nodded and said "hmm".

Shang Yanci led her into the kitchen and took out strawberry milk tea, strawberry Brest puff, strawberry mousse Basque cake, and the croquembouche, opera cake, and Mont Blanc made by her grandfather from the refrigerator.

Shang Yanci picked up a cutting knife and cut the strawberry mousse Basque cake into pieces. He gave one piece to Pei Yuning first and put the rest on the dessert plate.

Pei Yuning took it, scooped up a spoonful with a fork and put it into her mouth. Her beautiful eyes were like crescent moons: "It's delicious and sweet."

As she spoke, she scooped up a spoonful and fed Shang Yanci.

After Shang Yanci tasted it, he said softly, "Baby, you don't have to feed me, eat by yourself."

Knowing that he wasn't keen on desserts, Pei Yuning nodded and stopped feeding him: "Okay."

Shang Yanci put Pei Yuning's afternoon tea aside, and put the elders' afternoon tea into the dessert rack and brought it over later.

The strawberry milk tea just taken out of the refrigerator was still cold. Shang Yanci put Pei Yuning's cup into warm water to moisten it.

Pei Yuning watched him prepare afternoon tea in an orderly manner. She stood aside, eating the small cake in her hand, accompanying him.

Thinking of what she saw before going downstairs, she asked curiously in a low voice: "Ayan, is my brother-in-law younger than my sister?"

Shang Yanci: "Yes, one year younger."

Pei Yuning blinked her eyes and said, "Sister-brother love, so sweet!"

Shang Yanci walked to the pool, washed his hands and dried them, then stretched out a slender white finger, lifted a strand of Pei Yuning's curly hair, and entwined it between his fingers tenderly. He stared at her with his amber eyes and asked in a low voice, "Is it bad to marry first and fall in love later?"

Pei Yuning laughed out loud: "You also know this?"

Shang Yanci: "Yes, we are."

Pei Yuning coaxed him: "Marriage first, love later is the best."

Shang Yanci was satisfied. He picked up the warm strawberry milk tea, wiped the water droplets on the porcelain cup with a tissue, and fed it to Pei Yuning's mouth.

Pei Yuning followed his movements, took a sip, then another, and praised sincerely: "It tastes good! Cici, how come you are so amazing?"

The corners of Shang Yanci's mouth curled up slightly: "Only this way can you be worthy of serving the princess."

Pei Yuning stood on tiptoe, kissed his chin, and said in a coquettish voice: "Strawberry milk tea is sweet, and you are sweet too."

Shang Yanci lowered his eyes and stared at her, comparing: "Who is sweeter, me or strawberry milk tea?"

Pei Yuning said sweet words: "Objectively speaking, strawberry milk tea is sweeter, but I am a subjective person, so you are sweeter."

Shang Yanci chuckled softly, "Baby is getting more and more skilled at coaxing me now."

Pei Yuning asked in a coquettish tone: "Just tell me whether you like it or not?"

Shang Yanci said gently, "If you like to hear it, please tell me more."

Pei Yuning snorted coquettishly.

Shang Yanci picked up the dessert stand and said, "I'll send the afternoon tea to the elders."

Pei Yuning: "Okay."

After eating the strawberry mousse Basque cake, Pei Yuning picked up the strawberry Brest puff from the dessert plate and took a bite. The sweetness of the strawberry and cream was just right. It was soft and crispy, and there were hazelnuts and almond crumbs. It was mellow and delicious, and full of happiness.

Shang Yanci's dessert-making skills are 100% superior to those of the pastry chefs in dessert shops. This can be said to have fulfilled her childhood wish - "I must marry a man who runs a dessert shop."
