Chapter 29 Impeccable

Back at Yuhua Mingyuan, Master Pei looked at the gift boxes that the servants had brought in and said to Shang Yanci, "You're still doing this at home. Don't do it again next time."

Shang Yanci: "I understand, Grandpa."

Hearing his address, Mr. Pei had no problem adapting, for his eldest grandson, Pei Yanzhi, was one year older than Shang Yanci.

Master Pei: "Yanci played a game of chess with me, so that the two of them could have a chat."

Shang Yanci: "Okay."

Pei Yuning held the whimpering kitten in his arms, rubbing its soft chin while asking, "Auntie, have you been good these days?"

Aunt: “Meow~ Meow~”

Madam Pei: "It was still sleeping in your bedroom. You moved it to another place, but it sneaked back there at night."

Pei Yuning's heart softened: "What a poor little cat."

Aunt: “Meow~”

Madam Pei smiled softly and said, "Come back often on weekends. You are busy with work during the weekdays and you won't be able to take it to Wentang Palace."

Pei Yuning: "Okay."

Madam Pei asked, "Have you been happy these days?"

"It's pretty good." Pei Yuning said, "He's not used to having outsiders at home, so usually an auntie cooks for us and leaves at night. Although there are only him and me at home, it doesn't feel lonely."

Mrs. Pei: "How do you get along with each other?"

Pei Yuning blinked: "Just get along like that."

Mrs. Pei: "Do you know what grandma wants to ask? How did you cultivate your relationship?"

Although Shang Yanci suggested that the elders of the Pei family could add to the content of the marriage agreement, after everyone knew the agreed agreement, no one added anything. The complete content of the marriage agreement was only read by the couple.

Pei Yuning summarized the process of the past few days: "We have breakfast together in the morning, and stay in our respective companies during the day and lunch. When I go home in the evening, I will wait for him to have dinner together. After dinner, we will go to the back garden to walk hand in hand, and then go back to the bedroom to rest."

"He works out in the morning. He has a regular lifestyle and a healthy schedule. He doesn't like me to eat too many snacks. He makes cakes and desserts for me and makes a cup of vanilla milk for me before bed," Pei Yuning added.

Mrs. Pei looked at the gentle smile that unconsciously appeared between her eyebrows and eyes, and she felt at ease. She hugged Pei Yuning into her arms and rubbed her shoulders: "It's good to live a peaceful and stable life like this. Yanci is a stable and reserved person. Grandma is relieved that you are with him."

Pei Yuning: "Well, he is indeed very good."

Pei Yuchen woke up from a nap and went downstairs. He saw his baby sister sitting on the sofa, playing with her aunt with a cat toy.

He walked over, raised his hand and pinched her face, teasing: "Come, poor little thing, let your brother see if you have cried before?"

Pei Yuning slapped his hand away: "Brother, please be an adult with a sense of boundaries."

Pei Yuchen sat down beside her and chuckled nonchalantly: "Even if you ask me to do it, I won't do it. What is a sense of boundary? I've never heard of it."

Pei Yuning was speechless and started talking to him about business: "I passed by the tea room before and heard that an extremely crazy stalker went to retaliate against Xu Wei under the name of Sister Qingshu's fan. Does this have any impact on Sister Qingshu?"

Pei Yuchen sneered, "In the entertainment industry, 'fans pay for their actions'. When the news first broke, people said all kinds of nasty things. In the end, it was found out that the illegitimate fan was not a fan of Qing Shu at all, but a fan of another female star, who deliberately wanted to step on her to get to the top."

Pei Yuning sighed, "The entertainment industry is really complicated. You didn't do a good job of explaining the situation. Many people still have preconceived ideas and think that the illegitimate fan is Sister Qingshu's."

Pei Yuchen chuckled casually: "Children should not worry about adult matters."

When Pei Yunzhi returned home, the hall seemed very lively. He lowered his eyes and saw Pei Yuning's high heels placed on the mat at the door, with a pair of men's leather shoes next to them.

When I walked into the hall, Shang Yanci was playing chess with his grandfather, his father and second uncle were watching, his sister was surrounded by his grandmother and second aunt on the sofa chatting, and Yu Chen was standing by the window making a phone call.

The second uncle saw him first: "Yunzhi is back."

Pei Yunzhi: "Second uncle."

The second uncle smiled and said, "Next time you can try playing chess with Yanci. I think you two are evenly matched."

Master Pei nodded upon hearing this and carefully observed the layout of the chessboard.

Shang Yanci placed a white chess piece slowly and looked at Pei Yunzhi: "Then wait until big brother has time."

Pei Yunzhi was a decent man. He nodded to Shang Yanci and said calmly, "Yes."

With the last white chess piece falling, the outcome of the game was decided.

Master Pei put down the black chess piece in his hand, looking very satisfied, and said with full conviction: "Yanci wins."

Shang Yan said modestly, "It was only a narrow victory. Grandpa let me win."

Master Pei chuckled and said nothing. During the game, Shang Yanci calmly gave him a few pieces.

At first, Master Pei was a little unhappy. Of course, when playing chess, one must show his true level, which is the way to respect the opponent.

But as the game went on, he slowly came to his senses and realized that from the moment he placed the first white piece, Shang Yanci had begun to lay out a series of moves in an interconnected manner.

He not only deployed his own white pieces, but also tried to figure out the direction of his black pieces, guiding them from time to time, thus making moves a few steps ahead of him and giving the black pieces a glimmer of hope, so that the white pieces would not have too great a chance of winning.

In the end, they gathered together to surround and attack, and the outcome was decided with one move.

"Giving up a piece when placing a chess piece" is a sign of respect for elders, and "winning the game" is a sign of respect for opponents.

From any perspective, Shang Yanci is impeccable.

Mr. Pei felt that it was not satisfying and wanted to play another round.

Aunt Chen came over and said, "Everyone, dinner is ready."

Shang Yanci: "After dinner, I will play a few more games with Grandpa."

Master Pei smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

The group moved to the restaurant.

After dinner, we took a walk and chatted together.

Blowing in the spring evening breeze, Pei Yuning felt that this moment was called "happiness".

After returning to the hall, Shang Yanci and Master Pei collected the black and white pieces from the chessboard.

Pei Yuning didn't notice for a moment, and Jin Jin jumped off the sofa and ran to Shang Yanci's legs and curled up.

Shang Yanci stopped what he was doing and looked down at the pretty little ragdoll cat on the carpet.

Auntie also looked at him: "Meow~"

Pei Yuning came over and looked at the man and the cat looking at each other, wanting to laugh: "Its name is Jin Jin, and it wants you to hug it."

This was Shang Yanci's second visit to the Pei family. On the first day, her second brother sent her to Shen Qingshu's place, saying that they were going to shoot an advertisement and borrow her for a day. So today was the first meeting between the man and the cat.

"Okay." Shang Yanci stretched out his hand and picked up his aunt.

Jin Jin snuggled up in his arms obediently. Shang Yanci awkwardly combed its hair with one hand while he continued to collect the chess pieces with the other.

Pei Yuning felt that his response was just politeness because before she spoke, he just looked at Jin Jin and did not take the initiative to reach out to hug it. She was not sure whether Shang Yanci liked her kitten.

Pei Yuning sat on a soft chair nearby, watching the aunt in Shang Yanci's arms, so as not to disturb the two of them playing chess. Fortunately, her little cat was very well behaved and did not make any noise, but just curled up in a small ball, very obedient.

After the game was over, Jin Jin fell asleep in Shang Yanci's arms, and the kitten made a faint "snoring" sound.

Pei Yuning stood up and whispered, "Ayan, I'll take my aunt away."

"Yeah." Shang Yanci withdrew his left hand that was combing the kitten's hair and placed it on the table. He stretched out his right hand that was holding the white chess piece backwards to make it easier for Pei Yuning to hug his aunt.

Pei Yuning bent down and carefully picked up his aunt. His nose was filled with the clear and mellow woody scent of Shang Yanci's body. His fingertips accidentally touched Shang Yanci's trousers on his thighs.

The fabric is soft, his muscles and bones are hard.

After picking up his aunt, Pei Yuning immediately turned around and went upstairs.

Shang Yanci looked at her back until she turned a corner, then he looked away and slowly placed a white chess piece on the chessboard.

Back in the bedroom, Pei Yuning suddenly realized that she would sleep with Shang Yanci tonight, in the same bed.
