Chapter 24

After having dinner at Yuhua Mingyuan, Pei Yuning and Shang Yanci took a car back to the bridal chamber.

The wedding room is located in the villa area of ​​Wentang Palace. The green environment and security measures are of the highest standards. The commuting time from here to Pei Group is only fifteen minutes.

After entering the room, Shang Yanci took a pair of soft-soled, non-slip slippers and placed them at Pei Yuning’s feet: “I’m not used to having outsiders at home, so the housekeepers will leave after work in the evening. After that, if my lady needs anything, I’m always at your service.”

Pei Yuning changed into slippers and sat on the sofa: “It’s a good habit.”

Shang Yanci poured a glass of water and handed it to her: “If you see anything that needs to be purchased at home, I’ll arrange for someone to purchase it. Don’t worry, think about it slowly, and tell me when you’ve made up your mind.”

“Okay.” Pei Yuning was a little sleepy at this time. After all, tidying up the cloakroom in the afternoon was a very labor-intensive project. “Where is the bedroom? I want to go to bed early tonight.”

Shang Yanci: “The third room on the right on the second floor.”

Pei Yuning: “Then I’ll go upstairs first.”

Shang Yanci: “Okay.”

Watching Pei Yuning enter the bedroom on the second floor, Shang Yanci sat on the sofa for a while, then got up and walked into the kitchen.

Shang Yanci found the vanilla pods sealed in a glass tube in the cupboard and took out one.

After washing your hands, use the tip of a knife to peel open the vanilla pod, use the back of the knife to gently scrape out the vanilla seeds, crush them and set aside.

Gu Yu called and Shang Yanci answered the phone. He put the phone on the center island and listened to the work report from the other end, responding from time to time, while stirring the raw milk that had just been put into the pot. After the temperature rose, he added vanilla pods and crushed vanilla seeds and simmered it over low heat.

Before hanging up the phone, Gu Yu remembered something: “Mr. Shang, the old gentleman has added more people to look for Shang Heng, and we can’t hide his whereabouts for much longer.”

Shang Yanci: “Don’t worry about it anymore.”

Gu Yu: “Yes, Mr. Shang.”

Shang Heng thought he was hiding perfectly and no one could find him. Little did they know that all of this was planned by Shang Yanci behind the scenes, and all the people in the Shang family were just chess pieces on his chessboard?

After cooking for another quarter of an hour, Shang Yanci slowly took out the vanilla pods, turned off the fire, poured the vanilla milk in the pot into a thermos glass cup, and brought it to the bedroom on the second floor.

After knocking on the door and entering, Pei Yuning was nowhere to be seen, but the sound of running water and bottles and jars being taken out and put away could be heard from the bathroom.

Shang Yanci raised his wrist and looked at the time on the dial. Forty minutes had passed.

Putting the vanilla milk on the thermostatic cup mat to keep it warm, Shang Yanci walked to the bathroom in the guest bedroom next door while sending a WeChat message to Pei Yuning.

Outside the window, the bright white moon hangs high in the sky. The evening breeze gently blows the lush green leaves between the branches of the camphor tree, depicting a vibrant silhouette under the warm yellow street lights.

It was half an hour later when Pei Yuning came out of the bathroom. The bedroom was filled with the fragrance of vanilla. Following the scent, she saw a cup of vanilla milk on the bedside table.

After turning off the thermostatic cup mat, Pei Yuning picked up the vanilla milk and drank it slowly while opening her mobile phone. There were two unread WeChat messages sent half an hour ago from the same person –

Shang Yanci: “Madam, drink a glass of vanilla milk before going to bed. The glass cup is insulated, the actual temperature will be higher, so be careful of the burns. ］

Shang Yanci:［I sleep in the guest bedroom next door. Feel free to contact me if you need anything. Good night. In fact ,

Pei Yuning was ready to sleep in the same bed with Shang Yanci tonight. After all, they were a legal couple with a marriage certificate.

As a result, Shang Yanci took the initiative to separate his room and sleep next door? Before going to bed, he thoughtfully prepared a cup of vanilla milk for her to calm her nerves and help her sleep?

Pei Yuning really didn’t understand. This didn’t seem like a long-planned secret crush that was waiting for an opportunity to get ahead. Could it be that Qingqing’s analysis was wrong?

But Shang Yanci himself said that he fell in love with her at first sight. Is he going to play hard to get to lure her again? This shouldn’t be the case, or is he just not used to sharing a bed with others?

Without any clear thoughts, Pei Yuning finished drinking the vanilla milk, washed the glass, brushed his teeth again, and lay down on the big bed.

It was already past eleven o’clock, and Pei Yuning didn’t know whether Shang Yanci was asleep or not. Pei Yuning was worried that the sound of replying would wake him up, so she chose not to reply and would explain the reason to him tomorrow.

I can’t understand his behavior and I don’t want to think about it anymore. I’ll just make the best of it. Pei Yuning has always had a stable mentality. He turns off the lights and sleeps soundly.

On the other side, the light in the study was on, and Shang Yanci was sitting at his desk. Two batches of collections from France were shipped back, some of which were his mother’s dowry. They had been treasured and protected by his grandparents until he got married, when they were reluctant to take these treasures out.

The items of betrothal gifts were listed in a computer spreadsheet, and Shang Yanci copied them into the gift book, writing them down stroke by stroke without any arrogance or impatience.

It was not until the early morning that Shang Yanci turned off the lights and left the study. When he passed the master bedroom, his footsteps paused slightly.
