Chapter 40: Strict Husband

Shang Yanci was socializing with everyone, and from time to time he would look up at Pei Yuning at seven o'clock to make sure she was still in front of him.

Shang Xuan flew back from City A the night before to congratulate Mr. Shang on his birthday, and they both maintained superficial calm.

After a few boring responses, Shang Yanci's gaze fell back on Pei Yuning. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her beautiful eyes were filled with a layer of light water, delicate and bright.

Several rich young men who were closer to her glanced at her vaguely, then looked away in an obvious way.

Shang Yanci politely apologized to those who came to talk to him, drank his last cup, and left the whirlpool of Vanity Fair.

Mr. Shang did not stop him, he was already very satisfied. If it wasn't for the fact that today was his birthday, Shang Yanci would not have wasted his time dealing with such a hypocritical and flattering occasion.

Shang Yanci walked over and took the wine glass from Pei Yuning's hand: "Madam, you will get drunk if you drink more."

Pei Yuning: "I only had one drink."

Shang Yanci sat down next to her and said, "Let's drink at home, okay?"

Several rich young men sitting around stood up and left as if they were covering their ears to the bell.

Noticing Song Qingyi's interested look, she lowered her eyes and nodded in agreement.

Pei Yuning introduced the two to each other: "Ayan, this is my best friend, Song Qingyi. Qingqing, this is my...sir, Shang Yanci."

Shang Yanci gave her a meaningful look, then turned to Song Qingyi and nodded slightly: "Hello, Miss Song."

Song Qingyi: "Hello, Mr. Shang."

Shang Yanci picked up a piece of matcha cake and placed it on the table in front of Pei Yuning, then looked at Song Qingyi beside him: "What flavor would you like, Miss Song?"

Song Qingyi: "No need, thank you."

Shang Yanci raised his wine glass and said, "A toast to Miss Song."

Song Qingyi raised her wine glass and clinked it with his.

Pei Yuning picked up the fork and ate the matcha cake quietly, feeling worried about her future.

In other people's families, the wife controls the husband, and the husband is strict with the wife. But in her case, it's the other way around, the husband controls the wife, and she is strict with the husband.

Bedroom on the third floor.

Shang Heng sat on the carpet by the window, looking at the messages on WeChat on his phone. Pei Yuning didn't reply to any of them.

Downstairs, there was a lot of noise and cheering.

Yi Huan pushed the door open and came in to bring some fruit.

Shang Heng: "Mom, is Ningning here today?"

Yi Huan's eyes dodged: "How could she come? Only one person from the Pei family came, handed over a gift and left."

Shang Heng looked out the window and sneered, "That Pei Yuchen who is snatching children's toys in the back garden right now, was he kicked out of the house by the Pei family?"

Yi Huan’s face turned pale instantly.

Shang Heng walked up to her and dialed his own mobile number in front of her, but the voice prompt said "The user is turned off."

Shang Heng: "The card in my phone now is not my own card at all. Mom, what are you hiding from me? The Pei family came, but you said they didn't. With how much Grandpa loves Ningning, there is no way she wouldn't come to celebrate Grandpa's birthday."

Yi Huan simply gave up and said, "Yes! She's here, so what? Are you going to go downstairs to find her now? What are you going to say to her? Will she pay attention to you?"

"You have to try it to know." Shang Heng walked past her.

Yi Huan said calmly, "Pei Yuning has already obtained a marriage certificate with your uncle, the day after the wedding banquet was cancelled."

Shang Heng turned around and looked at her from behind in disbelief: "Mom, are you crazy?"

"You'd be a joke if you go down there now. You'd be sticking your face out for others to hit you." Yi Huan came over and handed him her phone. "Just call anyone and ask. Everyone knows."

Shang Heng took the phone with trembling fingertips, found "Zhou Yan" in the contacts, and dialed the number.

Zhou Yan was in the lobby on the first floor at the moment: "Hello, Auntie."

Shang Heng: “It’s me.”

Zhou Yan: "Why are you holding Auntie's phone? No, that's not the point. You finally showed up. You seemed to have disappeared from the world a while ago. If I hadn't confirmed with Auntie that you were okay, I would have reported you as missing."

Shang Heng was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Ningning and my uncle..."

Zhou Yan interrupted him immediately: "She's already married, why are you still worried about her? There are plenty of fish in the sea, why do you have to be with her? I thought you'd let it go after all this time, why are you still worried about it?"

Shang Heng said in a hoarse voice: "Did they really...get a marriage certificate?"

Zhou Yan was silent. What was going on? How could he not know something that was known to everyone?

Silence is a form of answer.

Shang Heng hung up the phone and walked towards the door.

Yi Huan rushed over and grabbed him: "Now that things have come to this, you still want to leave?"

Shang Heng: "What emotional basis can they have? Shang Yanci is clearly using Ning Ning to gain power. I'm going to tell Ning Ning. It's not too late now."

Yi Huan raised her hand and slapped him: "What difference does it make whether you tell or not? You and Xu Wei are already involved. Pei Yuning feels disgusted even when he looks at you. Even if it's not Shang Yanci, it definitely won't be you."

Looking at the red marks from her five fingers that immediately appeared on her son's face, Yi Huan held him in her arms with tears in her eyes: "Ah Heng, everyone is forcing me, can you leave a way out for mom? Your dad is back today, and he is downstairs now. If you go downstairs and make a big scene, he will only hate us mother and son even more. In this way, Song Xi and her son will be proud, you..."

Shang Heng pushed her away tiredly, lay back on the bed, and turned his back to the door.

back garden.

Pei Yuchen won the toy that the little boy snatched from the little girl during the game, intending to return the toy to its original owner.

As a result, before he could reach the little girl, several children came running towards him. He was unable to avoid them and was hit. The toy in his hand fell off and fell into the fountain nearby.

The little girl, who was originally feeling aggrieved, started to shed tears, and her crying became louder and louder.

The children around didn't know what was going on. Some were stunned, while others started crying.

Pei Yuchen is totally unable to do anything about it.

Pei Yuchen adhered to the principle of "you should comfort yourself if you provoke yourself", ignored the other crying children, walked to the little girl and squatted down: "I'm sorry, uncle will compensate you with a box, okay? Stop crying."

The little girl ignored him and continued crying.

Pei Yuchen: "I'll buy you whatever you want."

Still ignore it.

Pei Yuchen had no choice but to take out his cell phone and call Pei Yuning.

Pei Yuning: "Brother, why are there bee sounds over there?"

Pei Yuchen: "Come to the back garden and save me, I made a... child cry."

Pei Yuning sighed: "Wait."

When Pei Yuning and Song Qingyi arrived at the back garden, they saw five crying children spread out within a three-meter radius with Pei Yuchen as the center. He squatted in front of one of the little girls, at a loss as to what to do.

Song Qingyi was immediately amused.

Pei Yuning put a handful of candy in the pockets of the other four children. They stopped crying, wiped their tears, said politely "Thank you, sister", and then turned and left.

Pei Yuchen pointed at the little girl and said, "I made her cry."

Pei Yuning: "You should be thankful that it happened in the back garden. If it happened in the front hall, I can't believe how bizarre the reports about you would be tomorrow."

Pei Yuchen: "She is harder to please than when you were a child."
