Chapter 66: First Order: Mr. Nice Guy
Pei Yuning pretended to be calm and said, "That's my blush."
Shang Yanci raised his lips and smiled lazily, and followed her instructions completely: "Well, it turns out to be Madam's blush, very beautiful."
Pei Yuning lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling.
After having dinner at Yuhua Mingyuan, Pei Yuning left a bottle of pear wine and drove back to Wentang Palace with Shang Yanci.
After arriving home, Shang Yanci went to the study to work.
Pei Yuning took out the snacks that he had hidden away and started watching "Tina's Reply" from the beginning, which he had not finished before. It took one hour and forty minutes.
Shang Yanci usually takes at least two hours to go to the study, so it's enough time for her to watch a movie while eating snacks.
Time passed slowly with each frame of the film, and the sunset outside the window gradually dissipated and fell at the end of the horizon.
Shang Yanci has to find time to go back to France after the online meeting.
He turned off the computer, got up and left the study, and went downstairs to make vanilla milk for Pei Yuning.
Grandpa and grandma called via video and Shang Yanci answered the call.
Grandma leaned closer to the camera and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoci, is Ningning next to you?"
Shang Yanci chuckled: "She's in the bedroom, what's wrong?"
Grandma: "Next Saturday is the day for you to submit your marriage proposal. Your grandfather and I want to go back to China to meet your grandson's wife in person."
Shang Yanci frowned slightly upon hearing this, and disagreed: "From France to Beijing North, the fastest private flight by Shenhang will take eight hours, and you and grandpa's health should not be exhausted."
Grandpa was displeased when he heard this and squeezed into the screen: "At that time, your grandmother and I hadn't even come to visit you officially yet, but you coaxed Ningning to go get the marriage certificate first. If you don't come to your house to pay the betrothal gift this time, it would be impolite."
Shang Yanci said, "If you wait, things will change. I will not feel at ease until you get the certificate first. As for the etiquette between you and grandma, neither the Pei family nor Ningning will be too fussy. Your health is not suitable for long-distance flights, so father has given you all the etiquette, including the three letters and six etiquettes. I will not let Ningning down in the slightest."
Grandma patted her husband's shoulder, motioned for her to come over, and said, "Xiao Ci, your grandfather and I had a physical examination a few days ago, and all our physical indicators are normal. We will arrange for a family doctor to accompany you during the flight, so you don't have to worry about this."
Shang Yanci stirred the raw milk in the pot and was silent for a moment: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements. When are you ready to come?"
Grandma: "Come over on Friday. According to custom, Ningning will go back to her parents' home on Friday night. We will accompany you to the Pei family to propose marriage the next day. Your grandfather has bought a few more pieces of his collection, and we will add them to the betrothal gifts when the time comes."
Shang Yanci turned off the fire and poured the vanilla milk into a thermos glass: "Well, thank you, Grandpa."
Grandpa snorted arrogantly.
After chatting for a while, the video call was disconnected and Shang Yanci went upstairs with the vanilla milk.
Pushing open the bedroom door, Shang Yanci saw Pei Yuning sitting on the carpet with her back against the sofa. There were several bags of snacks on the table. She was concentrating on looking at the computer with a half-eaten potato chip in her hand.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Pei Yuning raised her eyes and saw Shang Yanci walking slowly towards her.
She finished watching the movie but didn't understand it, so she went to search for explanations, but it was less than two hours long?
There were bags of snacks scattered all over the table, and it would be too big to hide them all, so Pei Yuning chose to hide half a potato chip in his hand and put it into his mouth.
Shang Yanci walked over, bent down to put the vanilla milk on the table, and sat down on the sofa slowly.
Pei Yuning paused her movie commentary, turned around, put her arms on his knees, blinked her beautiful eyes, and spoke softly: "Ayan, this is what happened. I wasn't hungry at dinner time, but I was hungry just now. You were working, and I didn't want to disturb you, so I ate some snacks."
Shang Yanci lowered his eyes to look at her and asked gently, "Are you still hungry now?"
Pei Yuning shook his head: "I'm full."
Shang Yan said slowly, "Madam, there is no such thing as 'disturbance' to me. You can come to me anytime in the future. No matter what I am doing, you are the first priority, ahead of everything else."
Pei Yuning: "Yes, I understand."
Yay! Snack crisis resolved!
Shang Yanci is such a thoughtful and kind man!
The next moment, Shang Yanci looked at a large bag of snacks on the carpet and asked casually, "When did you buy these snacks and where did you put them?"
Pei Yuning stood up from the carpet and sat on Shang Yanci's legs. With one hand, she held his left hand with the wedding ring and interlocked their fingers. With the other hand, she held the back of his neck and rubbed her forehead against his shoulder: "I don't remember."
Shang Yanci: "Madam, stop being so coquettish and answer my question."
Pei Yuning did not answer.
Shang Yanci then said, "I confiscated the snacks."
Pei Yuning whispered, "All for you."
Shang Yanci patted her lower back with his palm: "Get up, drink the vanilla milk, wash up and rest."
Pei Yuning asked in a coquettish tone: "The snack matter is over, you are not allowed to say anything about me anymore."
Shang Yan compromised and gave in: "This will not be used as an example for others."
Pei Yuning kissed his neck and said obediently, "Okay."
Getting up from his lap, Pei Yuning picked up the vanilla milk on the table, and without even tasting it, passed it to him: "Ayan, it's so hot, blow it for me."
Act like a spoiled brat.
Shang Yanci took the glass calmly without telling her that the vanilla milk had been left in the kitchen for a quarter of an hour and was now warm and ready to drink.
He lowered his eyes, opened his lips and blew for a while, then took a sip before handing it to Pei Yuning, and said softly, "You can drink it now."
Pei Yuning took it with a smile: "Thank you, A Yan."
Shang Yanci watched her drink it in small sips, with a bit of pure white milk on the corners of her mouth.
His eyes gradually deepened. He raised his hand and wiped the milk stains from the corners of her mouth with his fingertips. Then he spoke again in a low and deep voice: "Go wash up."
"Okay." Pei Yuning turned around, picked up her nightgown, and walked into the bathroom.
Shang Yanci sat on the sofa for a while, threw the snacks on the table into the trash can, picked up a large bag of snacks on the carpet, and left the bedroom.
After washing up in the guest bedroom, Shang Yanci returned to the master bedroom and lay down on the bed, flipping through a book in his hand idly.
Pei Yuning finished her shower and opened the bathroom door.
Shang Yanci raised his eyes and looked over. She was wearing a hair dryer cap. He put down the book in his hand and said softly, "Madam, let me blow dry your hair."
Pei Yuning raised the corners of his lips: "Okay."
Walking into the bathroom, Shang Yanci took off the hair drying cap on her head, rubbed the roots and ends of her hair, and absorbed all the moisture.
He picked up the curling comb and gently combed Pei Yuning's hair. After combing it, he took out the hair dryer from the cupboard, adjusted the gear, and blew it slowly from the roots of the hair downwards.
Pei Yuning looked at Shang Yanci in the mirror. Under the cold white light, he had long and thick eyelashes that curled up at the corners of his eyes. His beautiful amber eyes were covered. His nose was high and his lips were thin and light red.
After kissing, the color of his lips will become darker, revealing a subtle desire and temptation.
I want to kiss him again, I'm addicted.
Shang Yanci stroked her scalp and hair roots with his fingertips and blew them dry. Then he moved the hair dryer down and started blowing the curls on her back.
Pei Yuning: "Wait a moment."
Shang Yanci asked gently, "What's wrong?"
Pei Yuning turned around, put his arms around his strong waist and abdomen, and whispered, "Ayan, blow like this, I want to hug you."
"Okay." Shang Yanci's lips curled up, he liked the little clingy guy's closeness and dependence.
After all her hair was blown dry, Shang Yanci picked up the curling comb again and combed her hair neatly.
No matter what he does, he has great patience.
Shang Yanci: "Okay."
Pei Yuning loosened her arms around his waist, stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin, her voice soft and sweet: "Reward."
Shang Yanci chuckled softly: "Thank you, ma'am."
While Pei Yuning was doing her skin care, Shang Yanci stood by and watched.
When the last step was completed, Shang Yanci picked up Princess Pei Yuning, bent down and kissed her red lips, and said in an ambiguous and tender tone: "Madam, it's time to accompany me tonight."
