Chapter 44 Ning Ning has me to coax her to sleep

Pei Yuning raised his eyes to look at him and said calmly, "Why, did you ignore what your uncle said last night?"

Shang Heng: "Do you think he really loves you? He is just using your Pei family background and my father's power!"

Pei Yuning chuckled: "I know, so what? Isn't your marriage to me also for the sake of the Pei family's family background?"

Shang Heng's eyes were red. "You knew he was using you, but you still agreed to get married with him. Why? Just because of Xu Wei, are you going to sacrifice all the happiness for the rest of your life? We have been childhood sweethearts and grew up together. How can Shang Yanci compare to my feelings for you? You have only known each other for a few days?"

Pei Yuning: "Ayan and I got married only because he is who he is, not because he is your uncle, and certainly not as revenge for you cheating on Xu Wei."

Shang Heng rushed forward and grabbed Pei Yuning's shoulders. "That's not the case, Ningning. You have no feelings for him at all. Stop deceiving yourself, okay? Let's start over. Give me another chance."

Pei Yuning raised his foot and kicked him on the leg, hitting the swollen part of his knee.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Shang Heng's forehead, his hand on her shoulder loosened, and his right leg trembled.

Pei Yuning took advantage of the situation to push him away and walked towards the gym on the second floor where Shang Yanci was.

Shang Heng watched her back getting farther and farther away from him until she disappeared around the corner. He sat there paralyzed, the tears in his eyes flowing into his mouth, bitter and sour.

At the gym door, Pei Yuning calmed down, knocked on the door and opened it: "A Yan."

Shang Yanci paused the treadmill and turned to look at her: "Madam."

He got off the treadmill and wiped the sweat off his face with the white towel hanging around his neck. After wringing out the water bottle, he lifted his wet hair to reveal his brow bones and drank the water with his head tilted back, his throat rolling.

Pei Yuning walked closer, stretched out a finger, and gently touched his sharp Adam's apple.

Shang Yanci paused in his drinking action, and then slowly swallowed the water in his mouth.

Pei Yuning felt Shang Yanci's larynx rolling up and down between her fingertips, the touch was very subtle.

Shang Yanci drank half a bottle of water, raised his hand, gently pushed Pei Yuning's fingers away with his wrist, and looked down at her: "Are you interested in my Adam's apple?"

Pei Yuning: "A little bit."

Shang Yanci chuckled softly: "Why did you come down just now?"

Pei Yuning had no intention of telling him what happened just now. There was no point in telling him about what had already happened.

Although the two have now obtained a marriage certificate, he and Shang Heng are uncle and nephew after all. Shang Yanci's feelings for her are not deep enough to turn against his relatives completely. She knows this well.

Pei Yuning: "I was still putting on makeup when I sent you a message. I didn't expect you to reply so quickly."

Shang Yanci: "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to find me when you woke up, so I kept my phone next to me."

Pei Yuning: "Well, keep running. Breakfast downstairs isn't ready yet. I'll sit here with you."

Shang Yanci: "Okay."

After running for another half an hour, Shang Yanci got off the treadmill and walked into the gym's own bathroom to wash and change clothes.

When the two of them walked to the first floor, breakfast had already been set. Mr. Shang was sitting at the main seat in the restaurant, and Shang Xuan's family of three were sitting on his left, but they hadn't started eating yet.

Shang Yanci: "Father, elder brother and elder sister-in-law."

Pei Yuning shouted again uncomfortably.

Shang Yanci pulled out the first chair on the right and let Pei Yuning sit down.

Although Shang Xuan felt that Shang Yan's words were hypocritical, he had to force himself to smile.

Yi Huan knocked Shang Heng's slippers under the table, signaling him to call for help. Shang Yanci had given them the courtesy, so they also had to be careful to avoid being criticized.

Shang Heng was extremely annoyed, but he remained calm and whispered, "Uncle...Auntie."

Shang Yanci said "hmm" in response.

His manners and upbringing are impeccable.

Mr. Shang heaved a sigh of relief, then smiled kindly and asked Pei Yuning, "Did Ningning get a good rest last night?"

Pei Yuning had just put a milk bun into his mouth, took a small bite, and was about to put it down.

Shang Yanci said casually: "Ningning had me to coax her to sleep, so she naturally had a good rest."

Hearing this, Shang Heng clenched the chopsticks in his hand.

Yi Huan's heart was pounding as she kept an eye on Shang Heng.

Pei Yuning's ears slowly turned red. Wasn't Shang Yanci always the most tactful? But now, in front of so many people, he was so outspoken.

Mr. Shang smiled and said, "Seeing that you two have a good relationship, I feel relieved."

Shang Yanci raised his lips and put a crystal shrimp dumpling on Pei Yuning's plate.

After breakfast, the two took a car back to Wentang Palace.

The driver is getting ready to drive.

Shang Yanci called him and said to Pei Yuning, "Madam, I forgot to wear my brooch. I'll go upstairs."

Pei Yuning was playing a game of Landlord. Hearing this, he nodded: "Okay."

Shang Yanci returned to the main house, but did not go up to the third floor. Instead, he went to the monitoring room on the first floor and called up the images from the third floor in the morning.

After Shang Heng finished talking about Pei Yuning's words and actions, Shang Yanci's face turned cold. He pulled back the progress bar, took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the video, deleted the original video, and stood up and left.

Shang Yanci took out the brooch from his vest pocket, put it on the collar of his suit, opened the door of the back compartment, got in, and told the driver to drive.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Pei Yuning.

Pei Yuning noticed his gaze, let him look, tapped his fingertips, and threw out a pair of king bombs.

After returning to Wentang Palace, Pei Yuning went upstairs to pack his suitcase.

Shang Yanci followed her, helping to carry the items, and asked in a gentle voice: "How long will the business trip to City A take?"

Pei Yuning: "About five days, depending on the specific work efficiency."

Shang Yan Ci: "Newly married, he wants to sleep on a separate bed from his wife."

Thinking of his previous record in the class, Pei Yuning reminded him: "You work hard, I will be back soon."

Shang Yanci hugged her from behind, lowered his head, and kissed her cheek: "I'll listen to you."

During the lunch break, when Pei Yuning fell asleep, Shang Yanci got up and walked into the study and sent the surveillance video recorded in the morning to Yi Huan.

Yi Huan called quickly to explain, "Uncle, Shang Heng fainted after kneeling in the ancestral hall a few days ago, and he hasn't recovered yet. He definitely didn't mean to offend my sister-in-law."

Shang Yanci spoke in a gentle and slow voice: "I'm sure you've heard the rumors about Shang Xuan in City A. You and your son are just dispensable people to him now. Who will be in charge of Shang and Shang Group in the future? You are a smart person and you will not fail to see the current situation."

Hearing him calling her "Shang Xuan" in a distant manner, Yi Huan realized belatedly that the reason Shang Yanci was so polite during breakfast was not because he really wanted to maintain a superficially harmonious relationship with the first wife, but because he wanted Shang Heng to call Pei Yuning "Auntie".

Yi Huan carefully considered, "What do you want me to do?"
