Chapter 22: The Hook - Floyd Rose

Pei Yuning found it difficult to describe her feelings at the moment. Shang Yanci seemed to be really looking forward to marrying her, but they had only known each other for four days. Was the charm of love at first sight so special?

Pei Yuning called Song Qingyi via video, she needed some advice.

Song Qingyi immediately responded: "Baby, what's the matter?"

Pei Yuning grabbed the fur of the bunny doll on the bed and said softly, "I'm getting married, Qingqing."

Song Qingyi asked hesitantly, "Am I still drunk?"

Pei Yuning: "I'm really getting married. I'll get the marriage certificate tomorrow with Shang Yanci."

Song Qingyi sat up from the bed and asked, "Which of you proposed?"

Pei Yuning: "He proposed. Shang Heng didn't come to the wedding banquet today. Shang Yanci proposed that I marry him, and I agreed."

Song Qingyi: "Is there any progressive causal relationship between the two of them?"

Pei Yuning: "Oh, I forgot to mention that Shang Yanci is the youngest son of Master Shang and the uncle of Shang Heng."

Song Qingyi was stunned by all these news one after another. She was stunned for a moment before she excitedly slapped the bed and shouted, "Shang Yanci is actually from the Shang family! And she's the uncle of that scumbag Shang Heng! Oh my god, what kind of a cool heroine's script is this? She went straight from being Shang Heng's ex-fiancée to his aunt!"

It seemed a bit refreshing to hear her say this. But Pei Yuning had never thought about it this way before. She agreed to marry Shang Yanci because she was interested in him and he met her requirements, not because of his identity as Shang Heng's uncle.

Song Qingyi: "Ningning baby, please tell me everything that happened to you today. I really want to know!"

Pei Yuning: "Okay."

Half an hour passed.

After listening to this, Song Qingyi sighed and began to analyze in depth: "In my opinion, this Mr. Shang has been planning to take advantage of you for a long time. You have never met him, but he knows your name. Imagine, an elder who has lived abroad for many years, would have the leisure to investigate the name and appearance of his nephew's fiancée? Is the work of Sinoel Group not enough for him to be busy?"

"Also, this 'love at first sight' may not be what you think it is. After all, it's only been less than four days. It's normal for you to want to fall in love, but it's too abnormal for him to want to get married. Either he has met you before and has a crush on you; or he is a love-brained person and really fell in love with you at first sight and fell in love with you forever."

"As to whether he wants to take back control of the Shang Group for his late mother, I will not make any comment on that."

"But don't believe the excuses he gave you for 'disciplining the disobedient kids at home and preventing Shang Heng from causing you unnecessary trouble' and 'using your marriage to justify his staying in Jingbei'. They are just excuses for wanting to marry you."

"Shang Heng's grandfather and parents are still alive, so there is really no need for Shang Yanci, his uncle, to discipline him personally. If he stays in Beijing, there is more than just the option of marrying you. As long as Shang Yanci wants, there are many ways and means."

Finally, Song Qingyi came to the conclusion: "Shang Yanci has definitely been planning for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to take the position. He was fishing for you before, baby, and it is normal for a pure girl like you to take the bait voluntarily. After all, his appearance, family background, age and experience are all there, and a stable and mature older man is very attractive. He is also sincere. Let's not talk about anything else. Just look at the marriage agreement. Among the aristocratic families in Beijing and North, no man dared to agree except him."

After Song Qingyi finished her analysis, Pei Yuning almost worshipped her, blinking her beautiful eyes: "Qingqing, you are so awesome!"

If she had the ability to analyze a character's psychological motivations, it would be easy for her to catch Shang Yanci.

Song Qingyi touched her head across the screen and said, "You two should get along well with each other and respond to him with your heart. I think Shang Yanci is really good. The marriage agreement does not let you suffer a loss, nor does it require you to fulfill your husband and wife obligations. Instead, it respects you. These deep-level communication issues can only be considered after the two sides have a deep emotional accumulation and the wedding."

After hanging up the video, Song Qingyi's words played in her mind.

Finally, Pei Yuning clicked into Shang Yanci's chat box and replied to him according to his true thoughts: [Thank goodness, see you tomorrow.]

The next day.

The Pei family members sat together in the living room, and Pei Yuning couldn't help looking towards the door.

Until Shang Yanci walked into the hall as promised, he was holding a bouquet of gorgeous Freud roses in his arms, wearing a straight and slim-fitting ink-colored suit, a tie of the same color tied into a neat Windsor knot, and a purple diamond butterfly brooch on his forehead.

The man had a prominent brow bone, a pair of alluring red eyes with upturned corners, and thin lips with a faint red color.

He has a beautiful face and delicate looks, but because of his calm and self-sustaining temperament, his beautiful appearance is somewhat weakened. He looks handsome and noble, an unattainable superior.

He was followed by seven black-clad bodyguards holding gift boxes. After putting down the gift boxes, they said goodbye and left in unison.

Shang Yanci greeted the elders, then handed the Freud rose in his arms to Pei Yuning and sat down next to her.

Master Pei: "Yanci has a plan, what does the fortune teller say?"

Except for Pei Yuning, the Pei family still didn't know the fortune teller's results. Shang Yanci told her last night in advance just to reassure her. As for the elders, they had to tell them in person to make it more formal and important for the marriage.

Shang Yanci presented the engagement letter: "The fortune teller said that Ningning and I are compatible, and the divination shows a good omen. It is a good marriage made in heaven. The auspicious day for the betrothal is May 27th."

"Okay." Old Master Pei nodded. One month was enough time for the family to prepare Ningning's dowry. After all, the elders had started preparing since she came of age, so it was naturally a great honor.

Master Pei took out the letter of appointment from the brocade box and spread it out on the table. Everyone looked at the red brocade satin with dragon, phoenix and lotus patterns. Pei Yuning and Shang Yanci's names were written side by side in a vertical line, written in the "Slender Gold" style with gold ink. The brushstrokes were vigorous and unique.

As for the wedding, the elders of both families discussed it yesterday. It is not appropriate to hold a grand wedding at this juncture. A small wedding would be unfair to Ning Ning, and both families are reluctant to do so. So they discussed postponing the wedding and holding it after the two people's relationship is stable and on the right track.

I took the household registration book and drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Pei Yuning placed the beautiful Freud rose in the middle of the back seat. Shang Yanci glanced at it casually and suddenly felt that the rose was a bit unsightly.

Pei Yuning was wearing an ivory cheongsam today, with butterfly and peony patterns embroidered on the hem. She had a slender figure, porcelain-white skin with a hint of light pink, a very delicate color. Her face was made up in a fresh and elegant manner, with eyebrows and eyes like a painting, pure and beautiful.

Shang Yanci praised her, "Ningning, the cheongsam really suits you."

Pei Yuning remembered the original reason why she wore cheongsam, because Shang Yanci said yesterday that she looked very beautiful in cheongsam, so she wore cheongsam again today, for him.

She reciprocated, "A suit suit suits you very well."

Shang Yanci looks really shabby in a suit, with a sharp and protruding Adam's apple, a very bony figure, a slender neck, and obvious veins. His shirt buttons are always buttoned to the top, his shoulders are broad, his waist is narrow, and his legs are straight. When he sits down, his trousers are supported by his tight and powerful leg muscles to create a cool and sexy line. His formal socks are wrapped to the middle of his calves, and his Achilles tendon is straight and conspicuous.

Apart from the face, neck and hands, he was reluctant to reveal even a bit of extra skin.

Be meticulous and rigorous, and seduce quietly.

Shang Yanci's lips curled up slightly. The little girl might not know how to address him appropriately, so she deliberately ignored the address. He didn't mind for the time being.

Shang Yanci took the Freud Rose and placed it near the window. He replaced the Rose and sat next to Pei Yuning. He took out two marriage agreements and a pen and placed them on the table in front of her: "The agreement is ready."

Pei Yuning opened the agreement and carefully read every detail of the terms. She was not questioning Shang Yanci's character, but this was just her subconscious reaction after reading the contract.

Finally, I turned to the page that required a signature and Shang Yanci's name had already been signed.

Before Pei Yuning put pen to paper, he wondered: What was Shang Yanci thinking when he signed his name?

Each person shall keep a copy of the marriage agreement.

Shang Yanci took his copy and opened it. His eyes fell on Pei Yuning's name. His eyelashes drooped, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
