Chapter 137 Gift

On the day of returning home, Pei Yuning boarded the plane with the meeting gifts from his great-grandfather's family, specialties prepared by his grandmother, and several suits made by his grandfather.

The plane landed in Beijing North at 2pm. The family of three returned to Yuhua Mingyuan.

Pei Yuning held her aunt for a while, put her on the sofa, and gave her a ball of fur to play with.

She distributed the specialties prepared by her grandmother to the family members. Her aunt circled around her legs, meowing with her little claws, looking very sticky.

In order to prevent Pei Yuning from accidentally stepping on Auntie, Shang Yanci picked up a dried fish nearby and fed it to her: "Auntie, come here."

Jin Jin rubbed Pei Yuning's ankle, ran to Shang Yanci's side, ate the dried fish obediently, and enjoyed Shang Yanci's hair-stroking service.

Master Shang drank half a cup of tea and was called by Master Pei to play chess.

During afternoon tea, Shang Yanci made pudding boats for the family. Pei Yuning loved eating this recently and all other desserts gave way.

The puddings in the pudding boats come in strawberry, mango, and matcha flavors, and are topped with bunny-shaped butter cookies, croissants, swan chocolate puffs, grapes, blueberries, and cherries.

Madam Pei smiled and said, "This Yanci is just like the one in the painting. I can't bear to eat it."

Shang Yanci: "Try it, matcha is not sweet."

Madam Pei took a bite and nodded in praise: "It's delicious, delicate and smooth, with a great taste."

Pei Yuning approached Shang Yanci's shoulder intimately, smiling with a smile on his face, and said proudly, "A Yan's dessert making skills are top-notch."

The second aunt joked, "We are so lucky to have a good husband like Yanci who is good at both cooking and cooking."

Pei Yuning shyly wanted to hide in Shang Yanci's arms, but there were too many people around and it would be inappropriate. If she really hid, the elders would laugh even more happily.

Shang Yanci chuckled and said, "You are flattered. This is what I should do."

Second Aunt smiled with satisfaction. It was great that Ningning now had someone who truly loved her.

Pei Yunzhi has always been a man of few words. He listened to his family chatting while quietly eating strawberry pudding.

Pei Yuchen glanced at the position of the chessboard and said, "Yanci, play a few rounds of Go with me later. I feel like I've made a lot of progress recently."

Shang Yanci: "Okay."

Pei Yuning fed Shang Yanci a blueberry and whispered in his ear: "It's strange that brother is still not tired of Go."

Shang Yanci whispered, "Maybe he's just like Grandpa, obsessed with it."

Old Master Shang was very happy to see Pei Yuning and Shang Yanci getting along so well. At first, he was worried that the two of them had different personalities and would become a pair of resentful lovers, but he didn't expect that they would get along so harmoniously and be as close as honey.

The wedding date is approaching.

According to custom, three days before the wedding, Pei Yuning returned to Huaming Garden to live alone.

Madam Pei knocked on Pei Yuning's bedroom door: "Ningning, can grandma come in?"

Pei Yuning sat up from the bed: "Okay, grandma, you come in."

Mrs. Pei pushed the door open and walked in.

Pei Yuning saw that she was holding two gift boxes, one of which was the gift box with a wedding cap that she had seen before.

Madam Pei sat down beside her bed, opened both gift boxes, and said bluntly, "Ningning, this veil was embroidered by Jiang Xinzhi, a close relative of hers who is blessed with good fortune. They say that a daughter's marriage requires her mother to embroider the veil herself to bless her marriage. But she said that she is unlucky, so she asked that blessed elder to do it. You can choose between these two veils, and grandma will not interfere with your decision."

Pei Yuning thought of Jiang Xunzhi's parents who died early, so naturally she didn't have a mother to embroider a wedding veil for her. As for her grandmother, she was seriously ill when she got married and didn't even have the basic ability to take care of herself, let alone embroider a veil.

Pei Yuning asked, "When did she give this to you?"

Mrs. Pei: "The afternoon before you and Yanci left for France."

Pei Yuning was silent for a moment, then said softly, "When I got married, I wore the veil she prepared for me, which was the most precious mother-daughter relationship in this life."

If it was before going to France, when Mrs. Pei took out this cap, Pei Yuning would not even look at it. But after Chu Daiqi's funeral, while comforting Shang Yanci, she was also comforting herself, telling herself to never dwell on the past and not to suffer.

Madam Pei picked up the gift box and said, "Ningning, go to bed early. Good night."

Pei Yuning: "Good night, grandma."

With the door closed, Pei Yuning turned over and lay on his side, hugging Shang Yanci's pillow. Why did they have to be separated for three days and four nights? He was not used to it.

After a while, the phone rang, Pei Yuning picked it up -

Ayan invites you to a video call...

Pei Yuning answered the video call and said in a coquettish voice, "Ci Ci, I miss you so much."

Shang Yanci had just finished washing up, lifted the quilt, sat on the bed, and said softly: "I miss the baby too."

Pei Yuning: "Did you have dinner tonight?"

Shang Yanci: "Yes, Aunt Zhou made it. Did you drink the vanilla milk?"

Pei Yuning imitated him in a playful and cute way: "Drink it, my brother cooked it."

Shang Yanci chuckled softly, and the lazy laughter kissed her cheek through the receiver of the mobile phone, like a subtle teasing, with a low and mellow voice: "Baby, I really want to kiss you."

Pei Yuning curved her beautiful eyebrows and said jokingly, "I'll see you in my dreams tonight."

Shang Yanci smiled, and rubbed her cheek with his fingers across the screen: "Can't we continue video chatting tonight?"

Pei Yuning pursed her red lips and said in a coquettish tone: "Cici, don't be so clingy. My wedding is in three days, and I must wear my wedding dress beautifully. I absolutely will not stay up late and must go to bed before 10pm. I took care of my skin at 8:30 tonight."

She looked up at the time above and said seriously, "You can stick with me for another 20 minutes."

Shang Yanci's lips curled up, and he couldn't hide the smile in his voice: "So strict?"

"I'm very strict." Pei Yuning's arms hurt after lying on her side for a long time, so she lay flat on her back. Her neck felt cool, and she reached out to touch it. She forgot to take off the necklace she had tried on earlier. She suddenly remembered something -

She hadn't even asked Shang Yanci to wear the breast chain to show her. Was that reasonable? Obviously it was very unreasonable!

Pei Yuning then looked at Shang Yanci on the screen and said softly, "Cici, I have a gift for you on the bottom shelf of my bedside cabinet. Go and have a look."

"Okay." Shang Yanci opened the drawer of the bedside table. On top was a set of jewelry boxes from Pei Yuning. He picked it up and put it away. Below were four gift boxes. He asked gently, "Baby, are these four all mine?"

Pei Yuning's eyes sparkled and he nodded frequently: "Well, open it and see if you like it?"

They were all the same gift boxes. Shang Yanci picked one at random and opened it. Inside was a chain with a very stylish design.
