Chapter 23
Shang Yanci and gave wedding candies to every staff member of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau amid one “Congratulations” after another.
At this moment, Pei Yuning had a candy in his mouth and was looking at the little red book in his hand, feeling a little dazed.
When they first took the photo, the two of them were not standing very close to each other, with a slight distance between their shoulders.
The photographer laughed and joked: “You two are about to get married, but you are still not familiar with each other? Be closer.”
Pei Yuning thought to himself: We are indeed not familiar with each other.
Shang Yanci responded “Okay” and then moved closer to her.
The large hand with a strong presence grabbed Pei Yuning’s slender waist in the next second.
Until this moment, the heat from his palm was still retained in the waist, which was difficult to dissipate.
In the photo, Shang Yanci was standing on her left, with superior three-dimensional facial features and slightly upturned thin lips. Pei Yuning had curved eyebrows and a bright and pure smile on her face.
This is their first photo together, and just like the staff said, they look really good together.
Sitting in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce, Pei Yuning remembered the handkerchief. She took out two clean handkerchiefs from her handbag and handed them back to him: “Your handkerchiefs.”
Shang Yanci turned off his mobile phone, looked up at her, and said in a lazy and casual tone: “Madam, what’s mine is yours.”
Pei Yuning was stunned. Is it starting now? How did he manage to switch between titles so naturally?
From “Miss Pei” to “Ningning”, and then from “Ningning” to “Madam”, what will be his next title?
“Got it.” Pei Yuning put the handkerchief back to its place.
“Madam, it’s time to exchange wedding rings.” Shang Yanci opened the velvet ring box.
The women’s ring is a five-carat purple-red diamond ring. The main diamond is inlaid with a circle of small transparent round diamonds, and the ring is in the style of intertwined branches.
The men’s ring is a three-carat purple-red diamond ring cut into a square shape. The ring band is also in the shape of intertwined branches, but it is slightly wider than the women’s ring by twice.
Shang Yanci took off the pinky ring he had put on Pei Yuning’s middle finger yesterday and put it in his vest pocket.
Then he took out the wedding ring from the ring box, lifted Pei Yuning’s left hand, and slowly pushed the wedding ring into her slender white ring finger. The size matched perfectly.
“So beautiful.” Pei Yuning was attracted by the design of this wedding ring.
“As long as my wife is satisfied.” Shang Yanci raised the corner of his mouth, took out the men’s ring and handed it to Pei Yuning, “Can you put on the wedding ring for me?” “
Of course.” Pei Yuning took the men’s ring and was about to put it on him, but she saw something engraved on the inner circle of the men’s ring. She leaned in to take a closer look, but couldn’t make it out clearly.
Shang Yanci: “Look at it vertically, this is the pattern on one side of a butterfly’s wing. The inner ring of your wedding ring also has it. The two wedding rings together form a complete butterfly.”
Pei Yuning smiled and said, “You really like butterflies.”
Shang Yanci looked at her and asked in a low voice, “Madam, are you going to call me ‘you’ in the future?”
Pei Yuning’s eyelashes trembled slightly. While putting the wedding ring on his ring finger, she asked softly, “Then what should I call you? Husband?”
Her heartbeat continued to throb, hers and his.
Shang Yanci did not respond.
Pei Yuning’s gaze moved from the wedding ring on his ring finger, to the “papillon” tattoo on his little finger, and finally stopped on Shang Yanci’s face. She blinked her beautiful eyes and tilted her head to look at him: “Why don’t you speak?”
Shang Yanci lowered his eyes, avoiding her gaze: “Whatever Madam likes, I’m fine with it.”
She just said those two words in a fit of excitement. How could she say them every day?
Pei Yuning asked, “What do your family members call you?”
Shang Yanci was silent for a moment and answered her, “My grandparents call me ‘Xiao Ci’, and my father calls me ‘Yan Ci’.”
The name “Xiao Ci” is quite cute, like a little kid, which shows that his grandparents love the only blood left by their daughter very much.
Pei Yuning suddenly remembered the wild geese that Shang Yan sent off when he proposed yesterday. The “Yan” in his name is a homonym of “Yan”, which means “goose”.
So she said softly, “A Yan.”
Shang Yanci pursed his lips: “Don’t you like the name you called me just now?”
Pei Yuning: “I just think this one is more casual.”
Shang Yanci said indifferently: “Okay.”
They had lunch at Tan Jing Mansion at noon, but Shang Heng still hadn’t come back.
Afterwards, they returned to Yuhua Mingyuan and moved Pei Yuning’s cloakroom to the bridal chamber.
Shang Yanci arranged staff to be responsible for storage, organization and transportation. Pei Yuning sat on the side and picked out the clothes and bags of the season, and moved the rest slowly, without rushing.
As for aunt, Pei Yuning is not planning to take her to the wedding house for the time being. She and Shang Yanci both have to go to work in the group. Aunt can play with her grandparents here, and she will pick her up on the weekend.
Shang Yanci stayed with her the whole time until her grandparents called her via video. He said something to Pei Yuning and walked to the balcony at the end of the corridor to answer the call.
Shang Yanci: “Grandpa and grandma.”
Grandma saw that he was the only one on the screen and said, “Xiao Ci, we have seen the group photo. Ningning is so pretty. She looks well-behaved and lovable.”
Shang Yanci chuckled.
Grandpa ate breakfast while glancing at the screen: “You ignored the time difference and excitedly sent us the marriage certificate and photo at two in the morning, why are you hiding it from us now and not letting us see your granddaughter-in-law?”
“We didn’t consider the time difference at that time.” Shang Yanci said, “Wait for Ningning to adapt for a few days, and then I will call you two to meet via video.”
“Okay, it depends on your arrangements.” Grandma said with a smile, “Your grandpa was smiling so hard when he saw the photo, and he agreed reluctantly yesterday, but today he is looking forward to having a video chat with his granddaughter-in-law.”
Shang Yanci: “I see that grandpa is very willing now.”
Grandpa snorted and didn’t refute.
After talking about their marriage, they chatted about the group’s work for a while.
Before hanging up the video, grandpa said proudly: “Arrange a meeting for us as soon as possible.”
Shang Yanci agreed with a low smile.
