Chapter 25

It was late at night and the moon was dim.

Pei Yuning half-asleeply reached out to touch the water cup on the bedside table, but after a few tries, all were empty.

She opened her eyes and saw the furnishings in the bedroom with the help of a ray of moonlight shining through the gap in the curtains. It was not her own bedroom, but the bedroom of the bridal chamber.

Pei Yuning suddenly remembered something, turned on the ceiling light, lifted the quilt, and looked at the logo on the mattress.

Sure enough, it was the same brand and product as the mattress in her bedroom.

Shang Yanci actually noticed such a tiny detail. She wondered how come she could sleep so soundly even though she changed the place tonight? It turned out to be the mattress, and perhaps also the glass of vanilla milk I drank before going to bed.

Pei Yuning got up from the bed and planned to go downstairs to get a glass of water.

Small floor-sensing lights were installed on one side of the corridor and the stairs. Pei Yuning tiptoed to the lobby on the first floor.

There was a slight “click” sound.

The pillar floor lamp next to the sofa lit up. Shang Yanci sat upright and asked in a gentle voice, “Why didn’t you turn on the light, Madam?”

Pei Yuning let out a breath, her heart beating wildly. Fortunately, Shang Yanci turned on the light before speaking, otherwise she would really be scared.

“I can see it.” Pei Yuning raised her hand and pointed at the small floor lamp. “Can’t you sleep sitting here?”

Pei Yuning came down directly wearing a suspender nightgown without putting on a robe.

Unlike the abstinence and formality of a suit, he wore his homely black silk nightgown in an elegant, casual, lazy and charming way. The tie around his waist was the only restraint on his body that needed to be untied.

At this moment, the slender white neck, the sharp bony Adam’s apple, the distinct blue veins, the smooth lines of the collarbone, and even the seductive outline of the chest can be vaguely seen. If you look further down, it would be inappropriate to look.

“…Okay, got it.” Pei Yuning looked away and picked up the water on the table.

Shang Yanci reached out and gently held her wrist: “Don’t drink cold water at night.”

He stood up, walked to the water purifier, took a cup of warm water in a thermos glass, and handed it to her.

Pei Yuning took it: “Thank you.”

Shang Yanci watched her finish the whole cup of warm water: “It

‘s my negligence, I will put water on your bedside table in the future.” Pei Yuning shook her head: “I forgot it myself, it has nothing to do with you.”

Shang Yanci asked casually: “Madam, are you going to start calling me ‘you’ again?”

Pei Yuning changed her words: “…A Yan.”

Well, it’s still a bit awkward. I don’t know how Shang Yanci can call “Madam” so smoothly and naturally. I admire you.

Shang Yanci: “You’ll get used to it after calling me a few times.”

Pei Yuning: “Okay.”

“Madam, wait a moment.” Shang Yanci stood up, found a thermos, cleaned it, filled it with warm water, held it in his hand, looked at Pei Yuning, “Okay, go upstairs and rest.”

“Okay.” Pei Yuning walked over with the thermos glass cup.

When going up the stairs, Shang Yanci followed behind her. There was light from the small floor lamp, but Shang Yanci still turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone.

A straight line of white light shone under her feet.

The road ahead is bright, with him behind me.

Shang Yanci: “Next time, remember to turn on the lights before walking up the stairs. The light from the floor lamp is dim and unsafe.”

“Got it, A Yan.” Pei Yuning covered her chest. What kind of fatherly boyfriend is this who cares about every detail!

When she covered herself, she remembered that she was only wearing a suspender nightgown when she came down. She was thirsty at the time and didn’t think too much about it. She just felt that it was late at night and there was no outsider in the villa. She didn’t expect Shang Yanci to sit on the sofa in the hall without turning on the lights and reflect on himself.

Fortunately, Shang Yanci turned on the soft light of the column floor lamp, which has limited illumination intensity and distance. Otherwise, what would be the difference between the suspender nightgown she was wearing and being able to see everything?

Arriving at the master bedroom, Pei Yuning pushed open the door and quickly turned off the light that she had turned on before going downstairs, saying in a way that made things even more obvious: “The light is too bright, it’s a bit dazzling.”

“I’ll have someone change it to a softer light tomorrow.” Shang Yanci walked into the bedroom and put the thermos in his hand on the bedside table. Without stopping, he said gently, “Good night, ma’am.”

Pei Yuning: “Good night, A Yan.”

Shang Yanci raised his hand and affectionately rubbed her smooth curly hair: “Ma’am, you’ve made great progress.”

Pei Yuning thought to herself: Is this worth praising?

Shang Yanci restrained himself and withdrew his hand, closing the door when he left the master bedroom.

The small floor lamp in the corridor emitted a faint light.

Shang Yanci looked at the record about Pei Yuning’s living habits in the memo on his mobile phone after asking Mrs. Pei. One of the records read: “

Around 1 a.m., I feel thirsty and want to drink water.”

Back in the guest bedroom, Shang Yanci lay on the bed. The image of Pei Yuning wearing a suspender nightgown just now appeared in his mind again. He only allowed himself to take a quick look, but he seemed to remember every tiny detail clearly.

Carefully maintained black curly hair, pure and bright beautiful eyes, clear and delicate skin, and small and rosy lips.

The straps are very thin, with lace folded on the chest, which is white and eye-catching. The waist is hollowed out, and the invisible waistline is about to emerge. The nightgown is very short, just above the hips, revealing a pair of well-proportioned, white long legs, slender and beautiful.

Shang Yanci got up and opened the window. The night wind blew in with coolness, and his greed continued.
