Chapter 58: Come and take my wife home
In the evening, layers of fiery clouds rolled up in the sky, and nature's brush painted a magnificent and bright oil painting.
Pei Yuning stood by the window of the box, holding his mobile phone, adjusting the angle, and took several photos of the sunset. He picked out the best one and sent it to Shang Yanci, and posted the rest on WeChat Moments.
Almost as soon as I posted it, someone liked it.
Grandpa: [Our Ningning’s photos are so pretty! Thumbs upJPG]
Pei Yuning's eyebrows and eyes are curved: [Rose JPG]
Grandma: [The sunset is beautiful. Ningning's photography skills have reached a new level. You must be tired on the business trip. Drink more bowls of soup when you get home.]
Pei Yuning agreed: [Okay grandma, roses JPG]
Second Brother: [When will the princess return triumphantly?]
Pei Yuning replied: [I will go back to Wentang Palace tonight, and return to Huaming Garden the next two weekends.]
Second Brother: [Okay.]
Pei Yuning chatted around in the new status update, but has not received a response to the photo she sent to Shang Yanci. I don’t know what he is busy with.
Song Jingyu hurried all the way, smoothed the wrinkles on his suit before entering the private room, knocked on the door, pushed it open and walked in.
Pei Yuning was standing by the window, the orange sunset glow serving as her backdrop. She was wearing a Jialing green dress, like the elegant new lotus in a summer pond.
Hearing the knock on the door, she looked over. Her clear eyes were bright and clear, and her long, thick, black curly hair was casually draped. The sunset cast a hazy and soft glow on her body, giving people a dreamy feeling.
Pei Yuning turned off her phone and went to the dining table. "Mr. Song, you've arrived just in time. The dishes are all served. Please take a seat."
Hearing her voice, Song Jingyu slowly came back to his senses and walked to the seat opposite her and sat down: "Sorry, there was something urgent at the company, so I'm a little late."
"It's okay. I didn't wait long." Pei Yuning poured him a glass of red wine, then picked up the glass in front of him. "It's a pleasure to work with you this time. I'd like to toast Mr. Song."
"Thank you." Song Jingyu raised his glass and clinked it with hers.
Pei Yuning was not familiar with him. They just happened to meet a senior from school whom they had met a few times in an unfamiliar city. The two of them did not have any personal topics to talk about. When they talked, they always talked about work.
When Pei Yuning was about to pour himself a third glass of red wine, Song Jingyu stopped him tactfully: "Boss Pei, this red wine has a high alcohol content."
"I can drink quite well." Pei Yuning poured himself a small half cup.
After dinner, the two prepared to go back to their respective homes. Pei Yuning bought a flight ticket for 9pm and flew back to Beijing.
When she reached the door of the restaurant, Pei Yuning was bumped by someone walking in from the opposite direction. She staggered a few steps in her high heels. Song Jingyu put his hands on her shoulders to steady herself.
The person who bumped into her turned back as he walked away and said quickly, "Sorry, beautiful lady."
Pei Yuning was a little tipsy and dazed for a moment. She realized that Song Jingyu was still holding her shoulders. She took two steps forward and put the hand on her shoulder down. She said softly, "Thank you."
Song Jingyu lowered his eyes and looked at her: "You're welcome."
This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Shang Yanci who was sitting in the back seat of the car.
After getting off the plane, he went to the hotel, but found that Pei Yuning was not there. After asking the bodyguard, he found out that she had gone to a restaurant to treat others to dinner in the evening.
Shang Yanci asked the name of the restaurant, and then went there to wait for Pei Yuning until now.
It was also at this moment that he found out that Pei Yuning’s partner in City A was actually Shang Xuan’s illegitimate son.
The look that Song Jingyu gave Pei Yuning just now was definitely not the look that a partner who only talks about money should have.
Shang Yanci opened the car door and walked towards the restaurant.
Pei Yuning and Song Jingyu were walking side by side. She saw Shang Yanci walking towards her from the opposite side of the road. Was it an illusion caused by being drunk?
Shang Yanci walked up to her, looking into her sparkling eyes and her slightly rosy cheeks.
He put his right hand around her wrist, pulled her in and held her in his arms, and with his left hand he held her slender waist, and asked gently, "Madam, have you drunk?"
Pei Yuning smelled the crispness of cedar and the mellowness of ebony on him, a very Shang Yanci scent. She blinked her eyes and said, "I only drank a little bit, Ah Yan, why did you come over anyway?"
Shang Yanci: "Come and take you home."
Song Jingyu tightly grasped the right hand that was around Pei Yuning's shoulder, trying his best to retain the subtle touch of his palm, but the spring night breeze blew away, leaving no trace.
Pei Yuning saw the figure on the ground and slowly realized that Song Jingyu was still there.
She gently pushed Shang Yanci, and he obediently let go of her waist and held her hands with his right hand, interlocking their fingers.
Pei Yuning introduced the two to each other: "Mr. Song, this is my husband, Shang Yanci. Ah Yan, this is the company's partner, Song Jingyu."
Song Jingyu looked at Shang Yanci's right hand, which was not free, and did not shake hands: "Hello."
Shang Yanci said calmly: "Hello."
Pei Yuning felt with her female intuition that the atmosphere at the moment was a little subtle, but she found it difficult to describe her specific feeling.
Song Jingyu: "Thank you Mr. Pei for treating me tonight. If there is a chance in the future, I will treat you instead."
Pei Yuning agreed: "Okay."
Song Jingyu: "Then I'll take my leave first. Goodbye."
Pei Yuning: "Goodbye."
Song Jingyu wanted to say goodbye to Shang Yanci and leave, but his eyes were always fixed on Pei Yuning and he had no intention of talking to him again.
After Song Jingyu left, Shang Yanci looked at Pei Yuning with an ambiguous look in his eyes and asked casually, "Would you like to chat for a while longer? I am disturbing you."
Pei Yuning: "What can I talk about with him?"
With just a few words, Shang Yanci's emotions instantly vanished. He bent down and kissed her small and delicate lips, his voice gentle and mellow: "Madam, let's go home."
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Shang Yanci told the driver to drive to the airport, then called the hotel's bodyguard and asked him to bring Pei Yuning's suitcase over.
Pei Yuning sat astride Shang Yanci's legs, leaned into his arms, and then smelled the special perfume that she had not smelled enough of just now.
Shang Yanci looked at the part of her fair calf that was exposed because she was sitting astride the bed, slowly raised his hand to touch her hair, and raised the baffle.
After the call was hung up, Pei Yuning stood up, looked him in the eye, and asked, "Ayan, is it fun to fly?"
Why would someone take a plane from Beijing North to City A, just to accompany her and then fly back to Beijing North from City A? Besides being tired, what's the point? Pei Yuning really didn't understand.
Shang Yanci raised his hand to pinch her soft and tender cheek and said simply: "It's OK."
Pei Yuning sighed: "Fortunately, my family is rich. Ordinary families really can't afford to support you."
Shang Yanci chuckled softly: "The sunset you took in the evening is very beautiful. Sorry, I was on the plane at that time and couldn't reply to you in time."
Pei Yuning said in a coquettish tone: "Of course my photos are beautiful."
After saying that, she leaned over again, leaned into Shang Yanci's arms, and continued to smell him.
The warm breath penetrated the thin shirt and fell on the texture of his chest, half-covering it, like a soft feather brushing slowly.
Shang Yanci raised his hands and clasped the back of her neck, pulling Pei Yuning away from his chest. He pinched her slender waist with his five broad fingers and leaned in to kiss her deeply.
