Chapter 45

Shang Yanci said in a calm voice: “Let Shang Heng go to Gangcheng for the project and set off in three days.”

Going to Gangcheng for the project means leaving Jingbei for nearly half a year, but the subsequent benefits are far from immeasurable. This is a good opportunity for training.

Shang Yanci is still willing to give some benefits to induce Shang Heng to leave. If something similar to what was shown in the surveillance video happens again next time, with Shang Yanci’s scheming and means, he will never let it go easily.

Yi Huan: “I understand. I will ask Shang Heng to agree to go to Gangcheng.”

Shang Yanci hung up the phone, returned to the bedroom, and continued to sleep with Pei Yuning in his arms.

The lights in the nightclub were bright, men and women were hugging each other and flirting intimately, and Shang Heng was sitting in a booth, drinking one glass after another, like an outsider who didn’t fit in.

After just half a month of not seeing each other, Zhou Yan felt uncomfortable looking at Shang Heng who was in a depressed state at the moment. He reached out to grab his wine glass: “Okay, stop drinking.”

Shang Heng turned around and took the wine bottle on the table: “Don’t bother me.”

Zhou Yan frowned and put down the wine glass: “What’s the point of you doing this now? Pei Yuning has already obtained a marriage certificate with someone else.”

Shang Heng sneered: “What do you know? They will get divorced when Shang Yanci completely takes control of the Shang Group.”

Zhou Yan looked at him with a complicated expression: “You mean, after they get divorced, you and Pei Yuning will get married again?”

Shang Heng: “I have never thought about marrying anyone other than her, never.”

Zhou Yan recalled the affectionate look that Shang Yanci gave Pei Yuning at the birthday party of Mr. Shang. It was definitely not the look that Shang Yanci should have towards a wife in an arranged marriage as speculated by the outside world.

Zhou Yan asked, “What if Shang Yanci still doesn’t divorce Pei Yuning after getting the Shang Group?”

Shang Heng was silent for a moment and shook his head, “No, they will definitely get divorced.”

Zhou Yan looked at him deceiving himself and was speechless.

Shang Heng put down the bottle, stood up and went to the bathroom.

Zhou Yan stood up and helped him.

Shang Heng pushed him away: “I’m not drunk.”

He turned around and staggered towards the bathroom.

After coming out of the bathroom, Shang Heng was stopped by Xu Wei in the corridor.

Xu Wei: “Where have you been all this time? I can’t find you.”

Shang Heng pushed her away impatiently and walked away.

Xu Wei stretched out her hands and hugged his waist tightly: “Shang Heng, let’s get married, okay?”

Shang Heng pulled her away with disgust, looked at her coldly, and said in a deep voice: “Xu Wei, if you were a man, you would be lying in the hospital waiting to die now.”

Xu Wei fell against the wall, and felt a stabbing pain in her arm. She said unwillingly: “Pei Yuning has already registered her marriage with your uncle, there is no possibility for you two.”

Shang Heng sneered: “So what if you’re married? Xu Wei, recognize yourself earlier, you will never be as good as Pei Yuning. If you go crazy in front of me again, you can’t afford the consequences.”

Xu Wei looked at his back, hatred growing, why? Why don’t you want to look back at her? Even just a glance.

The phone rang, and after Xu Wei answered it, the sound of reality hovered in the empty corridor.

Xu’s mother: “Where have you been when we agreed to go on a blind date? Get back here right away. You’ll cry if you miss Mr. Qin.”

Xu Wei curled her lips sarcastically: “Did you pick me up? You want me to marry a 40-year-old man with two children and three dead wives?”

Xu’s mother said sharply: “How can you talk like that? What’s wrong with marrying Mr. Qin? First, you don’t have to serve your parents-in-law, second, you don’t have to give birth to children, and third, he doesn’t mind you and Shang Heng being on the hot search. What else can you complain about?”

“If you are happy, go ahead and marry.” Xu Wei said and hung up the phone.

After Shang Heng returned to the booth, he continued drinking.

Zhou Yan on the side did not try to persuade him anymore. He just drank less himself and stayed sober to send the drunkard home later.

At ten o’clock in the evening, Shang Heng fell drunk on the table, unconscious.

Zhou Yan resigned himself to his fate and helped him up, called a designated driver, and sent him back to Tan Jing Mansion.

Shang Heng was carried back to the bedroom by someone arranged by the housekeeper. Yi Huan looked at her son who was intoxicated and dreaming, and after thinking about what she had said for the entire afternoon, she decided to endure it for the time being.

After Song Qingyi learned that Pei Yuning was going on a business trip to City A, she sent nine screenshots in a row. Before Pei Yuning could click to see clearly, she made a video call directly.

Pei Yuning answered the call: “Qingqing, what’s wrong?”

Song Qingyi: “Is your Mr. Shang next to you?”

Pei Yuning: “He’s in the bathroom.”

Song Qingyi: “Look at the screenshot I sent. After a birthday party, Shang Yanci has become the man that all the socialites in northern Beijing want to marry the most.”

Pei Yuning clicked on the screenshot –

[This face is amazing, the husband chosen by God, I’m dreaming. ］

［How is Pei Yuning born with such a good fate? I am really impressed. ］

［Shang Yanci’s waist is very easy to wrap around, with a perky butt and long legs, and a great figure! ］

［The people in power at the French Sinoel Group can no longer be described by the word “rich”. ］

［Although they are both handsome and attractive, they really don’t look like a good match. Shang Yanci looked at Pei Yuning with a distant and indifferent look, which showed at first glance that it was a marriage by arrangement without any emotions. ］

［Just calculate their timeline and you will know. Shang Yanci has only been back to China for a short time. How could he possibly fall in love? He married Pei Yuning just to take back the control of Shang Group. ］

［Shang Yanci is a man who is so unattractive that he has no interest in women at all and only cares about his career and work. How long can Pei Yuning tolerate his spoiled little lady’s temper? I bet they will get divorced. ］

［Thank you for your good words. They will get divorced this afternoon and I will go and offer myself to them in the evening. You can feel the charm emanating from Shang Yanci even through the photo, he is the best! ］

［+1, I also bet that they will get divorced. ］

［How many arranged marriages can last long? They just get what they want. Even if they don’t divorce on the surface, they will still do their own things in private. After turning a few pages, Pei

Yuning was too lazy to read on, and said nonchalantly: “The jealousy that comes over me makes me very satisfied, I’m used to it.”

Song Qingyi: “I’m speechless, where are their faces? They’re fantasizing about a married man. You have to keep an eye on Shang Yanci, if he’s really snatched away by someone else, where will your face as a young lady be?”

Pei Yuning thought about the sticky kisses Shang Yanci gave her every day, and said delicately: “Not really, Qingqing, I’m still very confident in my beauty. Even if Shang Yanci really cheated, I would become a super rich woman in seconds, and it wouldn’t be difficult for me to support a few men for fun.”

Song Qingyi clapped her hands: “Ningbao, I admire your mentality, please keep it up.”

Pei Yuning blinked her beautiful eyes: “Okay.”

Not long after hanging up the video, Shang Yanci came out of the bathroom.

The upturned corners of her eyes were stained a thin layer of light red by the heat in the bathroom, and her amber eyes looked even more gentle and affectionate under the soft light of the bedroom.

Shang Yanci was wearing a light grey nightgown tonight, with the belt tied neatly, leaving only the skin around his neck and his slender calves exposed.

Pei Yuning recalled a sentence in the screenshot –

“Shang Yanci’s waist looks easy to wrap around.”

Her eyes fell on Shang Yanci’s muscular waist and abdomen. Through a thin layer of nightgown fabric, the outline of his abdominal muscles seemed vaguely visible.

Shang Yanci came over, sat on the bed, raised his hand and pinched Pei Yuning’s soft cheek: “What are you looking at, Madam?”

Pei Yuning stood up and sat astride Shang Yanci’s thighs, put his hands on his shoulders, moved closer, and bit his sharp Adam’s apple with his soft lips.
