Chapter 35

Shang Yanci took the initiative to speak: “Brother, good morning.”

Pei Yunzhi saw the things in the tray clearly: “Yes, good morning.”

Shang Yanci: “There are red bean glutinous rice balls cooked in the pot, brother, try them later.”

Pei Yunzhi nodded: “Yes.”

Shang Yanci said no more and went upstairs.

Pei Yunzhi walked into the hall and saw two old men wearing Tai Chi clothes, but they were not practicing Tai Chi. Instead, each of them was holding a bowl of red bean glutinous rice balls.

Mrs. Pei: “Yunzhi, get up. Go try the red bean glutinous rice balls cooked by Yanci in the kitchen. They taste good.”

Mr. Pei nodded in agreement: “It’s suitable for the taste of us old people. It’s soft, sticky and sweet.”

Pei Yunzhi poured a cup of warm water: “Then you two can eat more. I don’t eat sweets.”

In the bedroom upstairs, Shang Yanci put the tray on the table next to the sofa, then walked to the bed, reached into the quilt, tried the temperature of the hot pack, took it out, and charged and heated it again.

Shang Yanci: “Madam, get up and have breakfast before going back to sleep.”

Pei Yuning shook her head and hid under the quilt.

Shang Yanci: “I won’t get up to kiss you again.”

Pei Yuning chuckled: “Then you kiss me, I can’t get up.”

Shang Yanci stretched out his hand to pull her out of the quilt, Pei Yuning immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth: “No!”

Shang Yanci looked at her meaningfully, chuckled lazily, picked up the long soft sweater beside him and put it on her, then bent down and half squatted beside the bed, holding a pair of white cotton socks in his hand.

Without waiting for his hand to touch her, Pei Yuning moved back: “I can put it on by myself.”

“Why are you hiding?” Shang Yanci easily grasped her slender white ankle, and his fingertips with thin calluses scraped across the sole of her foot lightly and casually.

Pei Yuning couldn’t help but laugh and stepped back: “Ayan, don’t touch me, I’m ticklish.”

Shang Yanci looked up at her, lowered his head to avoid the soles of her feet, put on his cotton socks, stood up, raised his hand and carried her into the bathroom.

“I’ll go by myself.” Pei Yuning put on slippers and walked into the bathroom.

Shang Yanci followed her and reminded her, “Wash with warm water.”

Pei Yuning: “I know.”

She stood in front of the mirror brushing her teeth, and Shang Yanci leaned against the bathroom door with his arms folded, watching her.

Pei Yuning rinsed his mouth and looked at him through the mirror: “A Yan, why are you looking at me all the time?”

Shang Yanci: “I’m afraid you’ll fall.”

Pei Yuning looked at himself in the mirror. Apart from his slightly pale face, he didn’t look that fragile, right?

After simply applying moisturizing lotion, Pei Yuning stood where she was, looked at Shang Yanci, and said in a coquettish voice: “I’m about to fall, come and hug me.”

Shang Yanci lowered his eyes and smiled softly, walked over, washed his hands, pinched Pei Yuning’s waist, and held her in his arms.

“Kiss.” Pei Yuning kissed his lips.

While kissing her, Shang Yanci walked to the bedside table, took out the fully charged water bottle, then walked to the sofa and sat down with her in his arms.

After kissing passionately for a while, Pei Yuning rested her hand against his forehead, breathing softly.

Shang Yanci protected her lower back, handed her the heat pack and picked up the red bean and glutinous rice balls on the tray: “Do you want to feed me?”

Pei Yuning held the heat pack in both hands and put it against her belly: “Then I’ll give you a chance to serve the princess.”

Shang Yanci scooped up half a spoonful, blew it, and brought it to her mouth, his voice low and gentle: “Thank you, princess, it’s my honor.”

Pei Yuning put it in her mouth, her brows slightly frowned: “A Yan, did you put ginger in it?”

Shang Yanci’s face was calm, and he denied slowly: “Madam hates eating ginger. I remember that she would not put it in it.”

Pei Yuning blinked her beautiful eyes, looking pretty and charming: “Did you make it?”

“Well, this red bean and glutinous rice ball was made by me, and the rest were made by two chefs. Does it really taste like ginger? Maybe there is ginger on the knife used by the chef. Then don’t eat this. I’ll go down and change you something else.” Shang Yanci pretended to get up.

Pei Yuning raised her hand and put it on his arm, shaking her head gently: “It’s okay, just a little bit, no need to change. Maybe I’m too sensitive to the taste of ginger, but it doesn’t prevent the red bean glutinous rice balls from being delicious.”

Shang Yanci said gently: “Then eat more.”

Shang Yanci coaxed and fed a lot of breakfast on the tray.

After breakfast, I felt much better. Pei Yuning’s body began to sweat. She wanted to take off her sweater. Just as her fingers lifted the edge of the collar a little, Shang Yanci looked over casually. Pei Yuning let go instantly and took two tissues to wipe her sweat.

After a while, she finally realized why she was afraid of Shang Yanci? He obviously didn’t say a word.

The spring rain outside the window falls intermittently.

Pei Yuning leaned in Shang Yanci’s arms, lying down and listening to the gentle spring rain.

Shang Yanci placed his palm on her lower abdomen and rubbed it gently, and they were reading a book together.

Before the video meeting, Pei Yuning put on a very delicate and perfect makeup to cover up her complexion, and then changed into the beautiful dress she had picked out in advance last night.

The video call was connected, and Pei Yuning nervously held Shang Yanci’s hand.

Shang Yanci gently soothed her, “Relax, I will be with you.”

The video was connected, and two faces as kind and loving as his own grandparents appeared on the phone screen.

Shang Yanci put his arm around her shoulders, with the corners of his mouth curled up, as if showing off: “Grandpa and grandma, good morning. Her name is Pei Yuning, and she is my wife.”

Pei Yuning followed and shouted: “Grandpa and grandma, good morning.”

The two old people: “Ningning, Xiaoci, good afternoon.”

Grandma’s enthusiasm took up most of the screen: “Ningning, you are the most beautiful girl grandma has ever seen!”

Pei Yuning smiled obediently: “Thank you grandma, after seeing you, I know the true meaning of the saying ‘beauty has nothing to do with age’, you have maintained yourself so well.”

Grandma was coaxed and smiled.

Pei Yuning, the master of keeping things balanced, continued to be online: “Grandpa’s suits are exquisite and elegant. Did you choose A Yan’s suit for him?”

Grandpa couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth: “I made Xiao Ci’s first suit for him, and some of the ones he wears now were also customized by me.”

Pei Yuning: “Grandpa, you are so awesome. It turns out that A Yan’s high aesthetic taste for suits was influenced by you.”

Grandpa: “Next time, let Xiao Ci take you to France to play, and grandpa will also customize a few suits for you.”

Pei Yuning lowered his eyes, and the smile on the corners of his mouth froze slightly.

Shang Yanci always paid attention to her emotions. Hearing this, he changed the subject: “Grandpa, Ningning and I are very busy at work, let’s talk about the future later. How are you and grandma doing recently?”

Grandpa: “We are both in good health. Your grandma’s blood sugar has dropped. Don’t worry.”

Shang Yanci: “Okay, I see.”

Grandma: “You are all busy with work, remember to take care of yourself. Ningning, how is Xiaoci treating you? If he is not satisfied with anything, just tell grandma and I will educate him.”

Pei Yuning: “Ayan is very good to me, grandpa and grandma, don’t worry, we will take care of each other.”

Although it seems that Shang Yanci has always been the one taking care of her meticulously.

Pei Yuning: “It’s so rude that you took so long to video chat with grandpa and grandma. I will video chat with you more often in the future. I hope grandpa and grandma don’t find me annoying.”

Shang Yanci looked at her gently. Last night he said that he would blame the late video chat on himself, but now he didn’t say a word about it.

Grandma: “We are a family, why should we talk about being rude or not? Ningning, don’t worry about it. You are welcome to video call us anytime.”

Grandpa and grandma had already met with the elders of the Pei family via video a long time ago. Only Pei Yuning was protected by Shang Yanci, and it was not until today that they were willing to bring her to meet them.

After the video was hung up, Pei Yuning leaned into Shang Yanci’s arms and said, “I like my grandparents.”

“They like you, too.” Shang Yanci kissed her hair and asked in a low voice, “Why did you blame yourself for the late video meeting?”
