Chapter 24 Vanilla Milk

After having dinner at Yuhua Mingyuan, Pei Yuning and Shang Yanci took a car back to their bridal chamber.

The wedding room in the villa area located in Wentang Palace has the highest standards of green environment and security measures. The commuting time from here to Pei Group is only fifteen minutes.

After entering the house, Shang Yanci took a pair of soft-soled non-slip slippers and placed them at Pei Yuning's feet: "I am not used to having outsiders at home, so the housekeepers will leave after work in the evening. In the future, if Madam needs anything, I will be at your service at any time."

Pei Yuning changed into slippers and sat on the sofa: "It's a good habit."

Shang Yanci poured her a glass of water and handed it to her: "Do you think there is anything you need to buy at home? I will arrange for someone to buy it. Don't worry, take your time to think about it, and tell me when you have made up your mind."

"Okay." Pei Yuning was a little sleepy at this moment. After all, tidying up the cloakroom in the afternoon was a very laborious project. "Where is the bedroom? I want to rest early tonight."

Shang Yanci: "The third room on the right side of the second floor."

Pei Yuning: "Then I'll go up first."

Shang Yanci: "Okay."

Watching Pei Yuning enter the bedroom on the second floor, Shang Yanci sat on the sofa for a while, then stood up and walked into the kitchen.

Shang Yanci found the vanilla pods sealed in glass tubes in the cabinet and took out one.

After washing your hands, use the tip of a knife to peel open the vanilla pod. Use the back of the knife to gently scrape out the vanilla seeds. Crush them and set aside.

Gu Yu called, and after Shang Yanci answered the call, he placed the phone on the center island, listened to the work report from the other side, responded from time to time, and stirred the raw milk that had just been put into the pot. After the temperature rose, he added vanilla pods and crushed vanilla seeds and simmered it over low heat.

Before hanging up the phone, Gu Yu remembered something: "Boss Shang, the old man has added more people to look for Shang Heng. We can't hide his whereabouts for much longer."

Shang Yanci: "Don't worry about this anymore."

Gu Yu: "Yes, Mr. Shang."

Shang Heng thought he was hiding perfectly and no one could find him. Little did he know that Shang Yanci was behind all this and everyone in the Shang family was just a pawn on his chessboard.

After cooking for another quarter of an hour, Shang Yanci slowly took out the vanilla pod, turned off the heat, poured the vanilla milk in the pot into a thermos glass cup, and brought it to the bedroom on the second floor.

After knocking on the door and entering, Pei Yuning was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the sound of running water and bottles being put away could be heard from the bathroom.

Shang Yanci raised his wrist and looked at the time on the dial. Forty minutes had passed.

Shang Yanci placed the vanilla milk on the thermos cup mat to keep it warm and walked to the bathroom in the guest bedroom next door while sending a WeChat message to Pei Yuning.

Outside the window, the bright white moon hangs high in the sky. The evening breeze gently blows the lush green leaves between the branches of the camphor trees, drawing vibrant silhouettes under the warm yellow street lights.

It was half an hour later when Pei Yuning came out of the bathroom. The bedroom was filled with the fragrance of vanilla. Following the scent, she saw a cup of vanilla milk on the bedside table.

Pei Yuning closed the thermos cup and drank the vanilla milk slowly while opening his phone. There were two unread WeChat messages sent half an hour ago from the same person.

Shang Yanci: [Madam, drink a glass of vanilla milk before going to bed. The glass is insulated, so the actual temperature will be higher, so be careful of getting burned.]

Shang Yanci: [I sleep in the guest bedroom next door. Feel free to contact me if you need anything. Good night.]

In fact, Pei Yuning was ready to sleep in the same bed with Shang Yanci tonight. After all, they were a legal couple with a marriage certificate.

As a result, Shang Yanci took the initiative to sleep next to her in a separate room? Before going to bed, he thoughtfully prepared a cup of vanilla milk for her to calm her nerves and help her sleep?

Pei Yuning really didn't understand. This didn't seem like a long-planned secret crush. Could it be that Qingqing's analysis was wrong?

But Shang Yanci himself said that he fell in love with her at first sight. Was he going to play hard to get again? He shouldn't, or was he not used to sharing a bed with someone else?

Without any clear thoughts, Pei Yuning finished drinking the vanilla milk, washed the glass, brushed her teeth again, and lay down on the big bed.

It was already past eleven o'clock, and Pei Yuning didn't know whether Shang Yanci was asleep or not. Pei Yuning was worried that the sound of replying would wake him up, so she chose not to reply and would explain the reason to him tomorrow.

I can't figure out his behavior and I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just make the best of it. Pei Yuning has always had a stable mentality. He turns off the lights and sleeps soundly.

On the other side, the light in the study was on, and Shang Yanci was sitting at his desk. Two batches of collections from France were shipped back, some of which were his mother's dowry. They had been treasured and protected by his grandparents until he got married, when they were reluctant to take these treasures out.

The items of betrothal gifts were listed in a computer spreadsheet, and Shang Yan copied them down and registered them in the gift book, writing them down stroke by stroke without any arrogance or impatience.

It was not until the early morning that Shang Yanci turned off the lights and left the study. When he passed the master bedroom, he paused slightly.
