Chapter 45: Close and Bite
Shang Yanci said calmly, "Let Shang Heng go to the project in Gangcheng and leave in three days."
Going to work on the project in Hong Kong means leaving northern Beijing for nearly half a year, but the benefits that will follow are immeasurable. This is a great opportunity for training.
Shang Yanci is still willing to offer some benefits to lure Shang Heng to leave. If something similar to what happened in the surveillance video happens again next time, with Shang Yanci's scheming and tactics, he will never let it go easily.
Yi Huan: "I understand. I will ask Shang Heng to agree to go to Hong Kong City."
Shang Yanci hung up the phone, went back to the bedroom, and continued to sleep with Pei Yuning in his arms.
The lights in the nightclub were bright, men and women were hugging each other and flirting intimately, and Shang Heng was sitting in a booth, drinking one glass after another, like an outsider who didn't fit in.
After not seeing each other for just half a month, Zhou Yan felt bad when he saw Shang Heng, who was now in a state of desolation. He reached out and snatched his wine glass: "Alright, stop drinking."
Shang Heng turned around and reached for the bottle of wine on the table: "Leave me alone."
Zhou Yan frowned and put down his glass: "What's the point of you being like this now? Pei Yuning has already obtained the marriage certificate with someone else."
Shang Heng snorted coldly: "What do you know? They will get divorced when Shang Yanci completely takes control of the Shang Group."
Zhou Yan looked at him with a complicated expression: "You mean, after they get divorced, you and Pei Yuning will get married again?"
Shang Heng: "I have never thought about marrying anyone other than her, never."
Zhou Yan recalled the affectionate look Shang Yanci gave Pei Yuning at Mr. Shang's birthday party. It was definitely not the look Shang Yanci should have towards a wife in an arranged marriage as speculated by outside rumors.
Zhou Yan asked, "What if Shang Yanci still doesn't divorce Pei Yuning after he gets the Shang Group?"
Shang Heng was silent for a moment and shook his head: "No, they will definitely get divorced."
Zhou Yan watched him deceiving himself and was speechless.
Shang Heng put down the bottle, stood up and went to the bathroom.
Zhou Yan stood up and helped him.
Shang Heng pushed him away: "I'm not drunk."
He turned around and staggered towards the bathroom.
After coming out of the bathroom, Shang Heng was stopped by Xu Wei in the corridor.
Xu Wei: "Where have you been all this time? I can't find you."
Shang Heng pushed her away impatiently and walked away.
Xu Wei stretched out her hands and hugged his waist tightly: "Shang Heng, let's get married, okay?"
Shang Heng pulled her away with a look of disgust, looked at her coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Wei, if you were a man, you would be lying in the hospital waiting to die now."
Xu Wei fell against the wall, feeling a sharp pain in her arm. She said unwillingly, "Pei Yuning has already registered her marriage with your uncle. There is no chance for you two."
Shang Heng sneered, "So what if you're married? Xu Wei, recognize yourself sooner rather than later. You'll never be as good as Pei Yuning. If you go crazy in front of me again, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Xu Wei looked at his back, hatred growing. Why? Why didn't he turn around and look at her? Even for a moment.
The phone rang, and after Xu Wei answered it, the sound of reality lingered in the empty corridor.
Xu's mother: "Where have you been for the blind date we agreed to have? Come back here right now. If you miss Boss Qin, you will cry later."
Xu Wei curled her lips sarcastically: "Did you pick me up? You want me to marry a 40-year-old man with two children and three dead wives?"
Mother Xu said sharply, "How can you talk like that? What's wrong with marrying Mr. Qin? First, you don't have to serve your parents-in-law, second, you don't have to give birth to children, and third, he doesn't mind you and Shang Heng making a hot topic. What else can you complain about?"
"If you are willing, go ahead and get married." Xu Wei said and hung up the phone.
Shang Heng returned to the booth and continued drinking.
Zhou Yan, who was standing by, didn't try to persuade him anymore. He just drank less himself and stayed sober to send the drunkard home later.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Shang Heng fell drunk on the table, unconscious.
Zhou Yan resigned himself to his fate and helped him up, called a driver to take him back to Tan Jing Mansion.
Shang Heng was carried back to the bedroom by someone arranged by the housekeeper. Yi Huan looked at her son who was drunk and dreaming, and after thinking about the words for the whole afternoon, she endured it for the time being.
After Song Qingyi learned that Pei Yuning was going on a business trip to City A, she sent nine screenshots to him. Before Pei Yuning could click on them to see clearly, she made a video call directly to him.
Pei Yuning answered the call: "Qingqing, what's wrong?"
Song Qingyi: "Is your Mr. Shang here?"
Pei Yuning: "He's in the bathroom."
Song Qingyi: "Look at the screenshots I sent. After just one birthday party, Shang Yanci has become the man that all the socialites in northern Beijing want to marry the most."
Pei Yuning clicked on the screenshot——
[This face is amazing, my husband chosen by God, I can imagine him dreaming about it.]
[What kind of luck did Pei Yuning have? I'm really impressed.]
[Shang Yanci has a very slim waist, long legs and a nice figure!]
[The people in power of the French Sinoel Group can no longer be summed up by the word "rich".]
[Although they are both handsome and charming, they really don't seem to be a good match. Shang Yanci looked at Pei Yuning with a distant and cold look, which made it clear that it was an arranged marriage without any emotions.]
[If you calculate their timeline, you will know. Shang Yanci has only been back to China for a short time. How could he fall in love? He married Pei Yuning just to regain control of the Shang Group.]
[Shang Yanci is a man who has no interest in women and only cares about his career. How many days can Pei Yuning tolerate his coquettish temper? I bet they will get divorced.]
[Thank you for your good wishes. They will get divorced this afternoon, and I will go to recommend myself to you tonight. I can feel the charm of Shang Yanci through the photo. He is the best!]
[+1, I also bet that they will get divorced.]
[How long can a marriage by agreement last? It's just a matter of getting what you want. Even if they don't divorce on the surface, they will still do their own things in private.]
After turning a few pages, Pei Yuning was too lazy to read on and said nonchalantly, "I am very satisfied with the jealousy that comes over me. I'm used to it."
Song Qingyi: "I'm speechless. Where are their faces? They are fantasizing about a married man. You have to keep an eye on Shang Yanci. If someone else takes her away, where will your dignity as a young lady go?"
Pei Yuning thought about how Shang Yanci kissed her every day, and said in a coquettish tone, "Not really, Qingqing, I am still very confident in my beauty. Even if Shang Yanci really cheated, I would become a super rich woman in an instant, and it would be easy for me to support a few men for fun."
Song Qingyi clapped her hands and said, "Ningbao, I really appreciate your attitude. Please keep it up."
Pei Yuning blinked her beautiful eyes: "Okay."
Not long after hanging up the video, Shang Yanci came out of the bathroom.
The heat from the bathroom stained the corners of her upturned eyes with a thin layer of light red, and her amber eyes looked even more gentle and affectionate under the soft light of the bedroom.
Shang Yanci was wearing a light grey nightgown tonight, with the belt tied neatly around his waist, leaving only the skin around his neck and his slender calves exposed.
Pei Yuning recalled a sentence in the screenshot——
"Shang Yanci's waist looks very slender."
Her eyes fell on Shang Yanci's muscular waist and abdomen. Through the thin layer of nightgown fabric, she seemed to be able to vaguely see the outline of his abdominal muscles.
Shang Yanci came over, sat on the bed, raised his hand and pinched Pei Yuning's soft cheek: "Madam, what are you looking at?"
Pei Yuning stood up and sat astride Shang Yanci's thighs. He placed his hands on his shoulders, moved closer, and bit his sharp Adam's apple with his soft lips.
