Chapter 79: Happy Years and Happy Days
"It is a husband's duty to listen to his wife." Pei Yuning walked up to him with the skirt she had picked. Then she walked past him and went into the bathroom to change her skirt.
Shang Yanci lowered his eyes and turned the wedding ring on his ring finger.
Pei Yuning changed into her skirt and opened the bathroom door: "Ayan, come in and cover your teeth marks."
"Okay." Shang Yanci walked slowly to her and said considerately, "Madam, you can put on your makeup first and then help me cover it up."
"No need, you can cover up the tooth mark quickly." Pei Yuning obviously didn't understand his hidden meaning. He mixed a concealer color similar to Shang Yanci's facial skin and covered up the tooth mark carefully.
Shang Yanci had an indifferent expression and hooked the diamond chain around Pei Yuning's waist with his fingers.
The phone on the sink rang. Shang Yanci picked it up and glanced at the note: "Zhou Yan."
Pei Yuning: "Take it."
Shang Yanci answered the phone and pressed the speakerphone.
The voice on the other side of the phone pierced through the phone anxiously: "Pei Yuning, after all, we all grew up together, and the friendship is there. Yesterday, Shang Heng saw the hot search about your recruitment and he drank too much at night and was hospitalized. Now he is not human. Can you give him a call and give him some advice? I know Shang Heng was wrong about Xu Wei, but everyone makes mistakes. He already knows he was wrong and will not make it again. He is alone in Hong Kong now..."
Shang Yan interrupted him unhappily: "Your so-called 'affection' is that you knew Shang Heng was cheating on you, but you still wanted my wife to comfort a scumbag who only pretended to be affectionate after losing her. Zhou Yan, regarding Shang Heng's admission to the hospital, you should call his parents instead of my wife. Correcting mistakes as soon as you know them is not something to be boasted about. Adults should be fully responsible for their own actions, instead of relying on drinking to drown their sorrows and escape from reality."
Zhou Yan was silent for a moment: "...Mr. Shang, you are Shang Heng's uncle, aren't you?"
Shang Yanci said calmly: "I have no obligation to coax my nephew, and my wife has even less obligation to do so."
Pei Yuning was too lazy to listen to the nonsense on the other side, so he said bluntly: "Zhou Yan, since you like to pity others so much, then donate all your family's money to charity. Save all living beings and get rid of suffering and gain happiness."
Zhou Yan: “…”
Shang Yanci asked gently, "Madam, do you have anything else to say?"
Pei Yuning shook her head.
So Shang Yanci hung up the phone neatly.
Pei Yuning lifted Shang Yanci's chin and carefully observed the location of the tooth marks on his face: "A Yan, it's done, you can go downstairs now."
Shang Yanci lowered his eyes and stared at her: "I'll wait for you to go downstairs together."
"Okay." Putting down the concealer tools, Pei Yuning picked up her phone, unlocked it, and added Zhou Yan to the blacklist. People who couldn't tell right from wrong didn't deserve to be on her list.
Pei Yuning finished putting on her makeup, Shang Yanci picked up the tray on the table and walked down the stairs with her.
Hearing the sound, grandma looked up and said, "Ningning, did you sleep well? If you are still sleepy, go back to sleep. Your grandma will accompany us tomorrow."
Pei Yuning: "I slept well. Grandma will accompany me tomorrow. Today I will accompany my grandparents. There will be a musical at the Beijing University Theater next Thursday. My grandparents can go and watch it then."
Grandpa and grandma smiled and agreed: "Okay."
The family of four went out together, Shang Yanci drove, Pei Yuning sat as the co-pilot, and grandparents sat in the back seat.
Because it was the last day of the weekend and it was not the peak tourist season during the winter and summer vacations, there were not many people in the museum. I made an appointment with a tour guide on the official website last night, put on non-in-ear headphones, and followed the tour guide to listen to the ancient sounds.
My grandfather had a camera hanging around his neck, and he would take pictures of any interesting collections he saw.
Pei Yuning saw it and began to praise: "Grandpa took such a beautiful photo. The frame, composition, blank space, and angle are all very advanced."
Grandpa smiled and said, "Ningning, do you want to take a picture? I'm also good at taking portraits."
"Okay." Pei Yuning stood in front of a blue and white porcelain vase blocked by a glass grid and got into position naturally.
Grandpa found the right angle and pressed the shutter button: "Okay, Ningning, take a look."
Pei Yuning walked up to him and looked down at the photo of herself in the camera: "Grandpa is so humble. You took such a beautiful photo of me!"
Hearing this, Shang Yanci lowered his eyes to look at the photo.
Grandpa smiled and said, “Only if the model is good-looking can the photo be taken well.”
Pei Yuning looked at her grandmother: "Aren't you going to take a picture?"
Grandma shook her head: "No."
Grandpa sighed and said, "I'm tired of you taking photos of me. You've stopped me from taking photos of you for a long time."
Pei Yuning couldn't help but laugh and took her grandmother's arm: "Grandma, can you take a photo with me as a souvenir, please?"
Grandma loved her, so there was no reason for her not to agree: "Okay, I'll listen to Ningning."
So grandpa happily took a photo of the two of them.
We continued to visit the museum. After finishing, we had dinner at a nearby specialty restaurant, took a short rest, and went to Yiming Garden in the afternoon.
Walking into the park, you will see golden glazed tiles, vermilion vertical columns, and ancient buildings with carved beams and painted rafters. Walking along the long palace road and gray stone steps, it feels like you have entered a gap in another time.
Walking through the long corridor, Shang Yanci saw several albizzia trees with lush green branches and leaves and pink albizzia flowers that looked like clouds.
He pinched Pei Yuning's fingertips and asked gently, "Can we take a photo under the albizzia tree?"
Pei Yuning blinked her beautiful eyes and said in a sweet voice: "Sure."
Grandpa held up the camera and said, "Let me take a picture of you."
"Okay." Pei Yuning led Shang Yanci to the tree, stretched out his left hand, made a half heart shape, and was about to ask him to cooperate with his actions.
The love was complete, Shang Yanci very consciously imitated her and made half a love heart, moving closer to her fingertips.
Grandpa pressed the shutter button, the picture froze, and it will be preserved forever——
The afternoon sunshine is like melted honey cream cake, and the air is filled with fresh and pleasant light floral scent.
Pei Yuning was wearing a light blue dress, the early summer breeze blowing her skirt like the rippling water on a lake. Shang Yanci was wearing a black, straight suit, dignified and elegant, and unattainable.
The two of them interlocked their fingers and made a complete love heart with one hand.
Pei Yuning looked at the camera with a smile on her face. Shang Yanci didn't look at the camera, but lowered his eyes to look at her tenderly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
May you be happy every year and happy every day.
