Chapter 21

Before the locked door of Lingyin Temple, Shang Yanci entered the temple, knelt down and fulfilled his vow, and donated incense money.

The branches of the wishing tree are hung with red silk ribbons.

Shang Yanci stood bent in front of the stone table and wrote a line of words on a brand new red silk ribbon.

As he wrote the last word, his phone vibrated slightly, as if he had a telepathic connection with someone. He opened his phone and saw a pinned message on WeChat –

Ningning: “I like the wild geese you gave me.” Wild geese are birds that symbolize “unwavering loyalty” and are monogamous.

The feeling of my heart beating became more vigorous because of her words. After careful consideration, Shang Yanci replied to her message.

The spring breeze fluttered the red silk, and the sharp, ink-colored Thin Gold script, with its unique strength and strength, expressed the most beautiful and sincere wish in the world – “say goodbye to the old and be at peace, and be together forever.”

It was already seven o’clock in the evening when he returned to Tan Jing Mansion. The flight route had been applied for. Shang Yanci estimated the time difference between the two countries. It was ten o’clock in the morning in France, so he called his grandparents on video.

The call was answered quickly. Two kind old people appeared in front of the screen, smiling and calling him, “Xiao Ci.”

Shang Yanci: “Grandpa and grandma, good afternoon. How have you been recently?”

Grandma complained in a low voice, “The family doctor said that my blood sugar has been high recently, and your grandpa hasn’t made me a cake for a week.”

Shang Yanci smiled gently and coaxed her, “You have to control your sugar intake recently. Wait until your blood sugar has dropped for a while before eating. I believe you can do it, right?”

Grandma: “Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Grandpa pinched her face lightly, “Why do you listen to him?”

Grandma pulled his ear, “I’m happy to listen to Xiao Ci.”

Shang Yanci looked at the two old children on the screen and did not say a word to stop them. There was always a light and relaxed smile on his face.

The two old men played around for a while and then held hands.

Grandpa asked: “I heard that the wedding can’t be held over there. When do you plan to come back? Your grandma and I miss you very much.”

Shang Yanci was silent for a moment, his lips curled up, and he whispered gently: “Not for the time being. Grandpa and grandma, I’m getting married.”

Grandma burst into tears instantly, and kept repeating “okay, okay” in her mouth.

While wiping grandma’s tears, grandpa asked her, “When do you plan to hold the wedding?”

Neither of the two old people asked about the woman’s family background, character, or appearance. It’s enough to know that this is the girl my grandson loves.

It was previously thought that he would never get married in his life, and the two old people were worried that after they passed away, there would be no one to accompany him.

A thin layer of tears appeared in front of Shang Yanci’s eyes. He lowered his eyes and blinked, then said softly, “We’ll get the certificate tomorrow. She doesn’t know me yet. I want to get along with her for some time, and then hold the wedding when she thinks it’s appropriate.”

Grandpa hesitated and said, “It sounds like a marriage scam.”

Grandma pushed him out of the screen and frowned, “What do you know, old man? Nowadays, it’s popular to get married first and fall in love later.”

Grandpa: “Okay, okay, I don’t understand.”

Shang Yanci: “Her name is Pei Yuning, the youngest daughter of the Pei family in northern Beijing.”

The two old people were stunned. Wasn’t Pei Yuning Shang Heng’s ex-fiancée?

Grandpa looked displeased: “Did Shang Yanci force you to marry him?”

Shang Yanci said seriously: “I will not marry someone I don’t love to accompany my life. Marrying her is my dream.”

Grandma: “Does it have to be her?”

Shang Yanci: “Only her.”

At this age, there is nothing to worry about. Grandma quickly nodded and agreed: “Okay, grandma understands.”

Then she poked her husband’s arm, and grandpa reluctantly agreed.

“Thank you, grandpa and grandma.” Shang Yanci explained in advance, “If I have the chance in the future, I will take her home to stay temporarily. As for the fact that she was engaged to Shang Heng, you two should pretend that you didn’t know about it. It was Shang Heng’s fault to cancel the engagement, and there is no reason for her to bear the subsequent rumors.”

“Got it.” The two old people watched him grow up. After hearing this, how could they not understand what he meant? The youngest daughter of the Pei family was the apple of his eye.

Shang Yanci: “Someone will come to the collection room at home to move the collections, which will be considered as part of the betrothal gift.”

Grandma: “How many treasures can your collection room have? Your grandfather and I will take care of the arrangements. Don’t worry, she will not be wronged.”

Shang Yanci: “Okay.”

After chatting for a while, they hung up the video. Shang Yanci called the family doctor to ask about the recent health conditions of the two elderly people.

Pei Yuning sent the WeChat message and waited for a few minutes, but Shang Yanci didn’t reply, so he guessed that he might be busy with something.

After charging her phone, Pei Yuning went to the cloakroom next door to choose an outfit for tomorrow’s wedding certificate photo shoot.

The background is red, so light-colored clothes are generally chosen.

She tried on countless shirts, short skirts, suspenders and long skirts, but always felt that they were not formal enough. Pei Yuning collapsed on the cushion exhausted.

After a short break, Pei Yuning returned to the bedroom, picked up his phone, and saw Shang Yanci’s reply. It was a voice message, nine seconds long –

Shang Yanci: [Ningning, I like your honesty.

The man’s deep, elegant voice rang out in the quiet bedroom, and he seemed to be talking right into her ear, making her feel very close .

She never thought that Shang Yanci would send her a voice message with such a sentence.

When she heard the first six words, her heart skipped a beat, and then began to throb constantly. But when she heard the last three words, her heart returned to normal.

Pei Yuning lay on his back on the bed, clicked on it and listened again, his ears felt weak.

She looked at a text message she had sent earlier, which contained the words “I like you”. These four words also appeared in Shang Yanci’s voice message. It was hard to say that he didn’t do it “intentionally”. He was hooking her again, and this time it was a bit blatant.

Pei Yuning was thinking about how to hook him back.

Before she could think it through, two new text messages appeared on the chat page –

Shang Yanci: [The horoscopes are compatible, the divination is auspicious, and the marriage is possible. Shang

Yanci: Ningning, we are a match made in heaven. ］
