Chapter 97 You Don’t Have to Be Sensible in My Place

A mellow and elegant voice came from the mobile phone, across a distance of 8,000 kilometers between the two countries, and echoed in Pei Yuning's bedroom at the turn of day and night.

She raised her hand and rubbed her ears, saying delicately, "I don't want to."

Shang Yanci smiled and said softly, "But I miss my baby so much."

Pei Yuning was satisfied, so he held the phone closer and asked with concern, "Ayan, is the group very busy?"

Shang Yanci: "It's OK."

Pei Yuning knew very well that he said this only to reassure himself. Shang Yanci had not been to such a large group for more than a month, so there must be a mountain of things to do.

She gently said, "No matter how busy you are at work, remember to eat well and get enough rest."

Shang Yanci responded without hesitation: "Okay."

There was a knock on the door, and Pei Yunzhi's voice came in: "Ningning, I made vanilla milk."

Pei Yunzhi always spent all his time on work and never did anything else. Pei Yuning was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shang Yanci on the screen and asked, "A Yan, did you teach your brother how to cook?"

Shang Yanci said in a gentle voice: "Well, I know I'm going back to France, and my elder brother mentioned it on his own initiative. Go get the vanilla milk first, and keep the video on, don't hang up."

Pei Yuning: "Okay."

Putting on her nightgown, Pei Yuning stood up, walked to the bedroom door, and opened it: "Brother."

Pei Yunzhi stood outside the bedroom door, handed her the vanilla milk in his hand, which was just the right temperature for her to drink, and said, "Drink it and go to bed early. Remember to change the alarm time."

If Pei Yunzhi hadn't reminded her, Pei Yuning would have almost forgotten that it takes about 50 minutes to commute from Yuhua Mingyuan to the group, and she has to drive away from home at 8 o'clock. In the past, she had to get up at 6:50 in the morning to wash and put on makeup.

Pei Yuning nodded and said, "I understand. Good night, brother."

"Good night." Pei Yanzhi turned and left.

After closing the door, Pei Yuning walked and drank vanilla milk. Then he sat on the bed, picked up his phone and changed the alarm time by 40 minutes. He sighed and said, "Ayan, I have to get up early tomorrow."

Shang Yanci glanced at the milk stains between her lips, his Adam's apple rolling slightly. He restrainedly looked away and coaxed her in a low voice: "Go to bed early these nights, and don't let the baby get up too early. I'll be back as soon as I finish dealing with things here."

Pei Yuning just said it casually, wanting to be coquettish with him, she wouldn't really be unable to get up: "A Yan, you have to do things step by step, don't pursue efficiency too much, I can still wait for a few days."

Shang Yanci: "Yes, I know."

Pei Yuning finished drinking the vanilla milk, took it to the bathroom to rinse the glass, brushed his teeth, and lay back on the bed: "A Yan, you are busy with work, I want to sleep."

Shang Yanci glanced at the time on Butterfly's watch. It was not yet time for her to go to bed. He said softly and tenderly, "Baby, you don't have to be sensible in front of me. No matter how busy I am at work, it is not as important as coaxing you to sleep."

He always said sweet words to Pei Yuning, who was coaxed by him until she was dizzy and turned around. She calmed down and wanted him to accompany her, but she didn't want to delay his work.

After thinking for a while, she came up with a compromise: "Ayan, you focus on your work, and I'll put my phone on the stand on the bedside table. When I miss you, I'll look at you. When I fall asleep, you can hang up the video call. This way, you can accompany me and coax me to sleep, okay?"

"Okay." Shang Yanci took his cell phone, stood up, walked to the bookcase, picked out a record of soothing music, and put it on the phonograph to play.

Pei Yuning placed his cell phone on a stand and adjusted it to the right angle. He lay on his side and slept soundly. Hearing the music coming from the other side, he asked, "A Yan, will this not interfere with your work?"

Shang Yanci looked at her cute and charming little face and said sweet words: "With the baby by my side, my work efficiency has doubled."

Pei Yuning smiled with a curved brow and said nothing more.

Elegant and gentle music filled her ears. Shang Yanci picked up a pair of gold-rimmed glasses with her fair and slender fingers, opened them, and put them on her high nose bridge. She looked at the computer seriously and handled work matters.

Shang Yanci would lower his eyes to look at the mobile phone screen from time to time, and he and Pei Yuning would smile at each other. They didn't need to say anything specifically, and their inseparable intimacy was naturally revealed.

When he looked at the screen again, Pei Yuning had fallen asleep. The warm night light in the bedroom shone on her face. Her eyebrows were curved like the clear moon, and her long eyelashes drooped, forming a beautiful silhouette. Her small and rosy lips made Shang Yanci think of the way her lips looked when they were swollen from his licking and kissing, like the heart of a delicate and tempting rose.

There was a meeting in ten minutes. Shang Yanci put down his work and stared at Pei Yuning on the screen with burning eyes. He described her facial features stroke by stroke. His heart softened like a handful of water in a spring lake, allowing her to fill it as she pleased.

When the time came, Shang Yanci hung up the video, stood up and walked to the conference room. He wanted to deal with the matter here as soon as possible, and then go back to see her.

Pei Yuning was awakened by thirst in the early morning. When he opened his eyes, Shang Yanci was no longer beside him. The screen of the mobile phone on the stand was black, and he had hung up the video call at some point.

She sat up, picked up the thermos on the bedside table, and poured herself a glass of warm water.

Pei Yuning lowered his eyes to look at the wedding ring on his ring finger for a while, then reached out and picked up Shang Yanci's pillow beside him, held it in his arms, and lowered his head to smell it.

The sheets and quilt covers were washed every week, and he only slept on the new pillow for one night. At this moment, the smell of Shang Yanci had become very faint.

Getting up and walking into the bathroom, Pei Yuning picked up the perfume bottle that Shang Yanci hadn't taken away and sprayed it around the bed, inside and outside, from the head to the foot of the bed. She sprayed too much perfume at once, and she couldn't help but sneeze several times.

Shang Yanci's perfume has a top note of the light sweet and sour bergamot, a middle note of the cold bitterness of medicinal herbs, and a base note of crisp cedar and mellow ebony. The distinct woody scent is unique to him.

Putting down the perfume bottle, Pei Yuning lay back on the bed contentedly, holding Shang Yanci's pillow in her arms, closed her eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.
