Chapter 182 There is no reason not to love you.
The engagement party was held on a sunny winter day. Because Shen Zhiyi had not asked about anything before, she only found out that the engagement party was held in Nanyuan that day.
The place where she and Pei Yu truly reunited.
The memories left here are not good enough, but even this will soon be covered by new memories.
The indoor heating was sufficient. Shen Zhiyi took off his heavy coat and saw Qin Xiaoran and Wang Feifei who had already arrived in the hall. Xiao Dong was also there, eating desserts from the buffet.
"This skirt..." Qin Xiaoran smiled when he saw her, "I was wondering why I didn't hear about it being sold outside. It turns out that Brother Pei Yu has already decided on it."
Shen Zhiyi looked down at herself and said, "He didn't tell me. I thought it was the housekeeper who picked it."
"The things that are worn on you," Qin Xiaoran winked at her and smiled meaningfully, "How could he let others handle them?"
She teased him deliberately, and Shen Zhiyi smiled sheepishly and changed the subject, "How are your wedding preparations going?"
Qin Xiaoran's wedding is in a few days.
"It's almost done," Qin Xiaoran didn't care much about her wedding. After all, her difficult mother-in-law was in charge of everything. She was more curious about Shen Zhiyi's. "I heard from Qin Fang that your wedding will be held in Hua Ting?"
Hua Ting has basically not received any outside guests since Pei Yu took over. Even Qin Fang only goes there occasionally. It is really unexpected that the wedding is held there this time.
"Yes," Shen Zhiyi nodded, "Pei Yu arranged it."
She didn't ask anything during the whole process and didn't even know what stage the preparations were at.
As he was speaking, Pei Yu came over, accompanied by Qin Fang and Fu Songzhi.
Seeing him, Shen Zhiyi curled his eyes.
The two did not invite any elders to their engagement party. All the guests were close friends. The process was also simple, and the part related to both parties' parents was omitted.
Under the auspices of Secretary Qin, the two signed the engagement agreement. As soon as he put down the pen, Qin Fang clamored for a toast and dragged Pei Yu to their table.
Shen Zhiyi was pulled over by Qin Xiaoran to choose a wedding gift.
"I really don't know what to give you guys," Qin Xiaoran spent a lot of time thinking about engagement gifts, and he was a little clueless about choosing wedding gifts, "Why not just give you a card?"
Shen Zhiyi was amused, "So direct?"
"Just pick any one you like," her mind was on Pei Yu. Seeing him curl his lips slightly and accept the wine that was handed to him, she knew that he was in a good mood today and would probably be quite drunk.
This was indeed the case. A group of young people made a lot of noise until the evening, and when they dispersed, Pei Yu's eyes were already hazy and he didn't look very sober.
He sat on the sofa to rest. Shen Zhiyi went over and touched his drunken face. "Can you still recognize who I am?"
Pei Yu slightly raised his eyelids, and looked at her with his dark eyes, as if he wanted to see into her eyes. He held Shen Zhiyi's hand, touched her ring, and smiled faintly, "My wife."
All the ceremonies were just a process for them. The moment Shen Zhiyi nodded and was willing to put on the ring, she became Pei Yu's wife, and so did everyone else. Shen Zhiyi smiled slightly, "It seems that you are not too drunk."
"Pei Yu," she squatted down, spread her skirt on the carpet, looked at him tenderly, and asked softly, "I saw your betrothal gifts, why did you give me so many things?"
It was not until recently that she found out what the document he had coaxed her into signing was. Others gave her houses and cars, but he was unique and gave her shares.
"Not much." Pei Yu was indeed drunk and could not concentrate on listening to her. His eyes fell on her lips and he lowered his head to kiss her. "I'm afraid it's not enough."
His feelings towards Shen Zhiyi have never changed. Even after they were together and married, he was still the Pei Yu who wanted to put many things in front of her to please her.
Shen Zhiyi didn't care about these, but she knew that Pei Yu's love was too much and too full, and she needed this way to let her see a little bit of it, so she didn't refuse and only gave Pei Yu the return he wanted.
"That's enough," she looked into Pei Yu's eyes, "That's enough, Pei Yu."
Pei Yu asked, "Do you love me?"
"Love," Shen Zhiyi never tires of asking such questions, "You are so good, there is no reason for me not to love you."
Perhaps her love for Pei Yu is far less than his love for herself, but Shen Zhiyi's love is also very sincere and long-lasting, and is not cheap or shallow compared to anyone else's, so Pei Yu, who is loved by her, is no worse than anyone else.
When Shen Zhiyi looked at someone intently, her eyes always appeared gentle and warm. Being looked at by her like this, even though Pei Yu always belittled himself, he had to admit that he was indeed loved by her.
He lowered his eyes slightly, held her in his arms, and complained to her in a very straightforward tone, "Qin Fang said that I was too impatient and arranged the time so tightly, as if he was afraid that you would regret it."
From proposal, engagement, to marriage, it took less than two months. Few people would arrange it this way, but it was not really urgent because Pei Yu had already prepared many things in advance, except for a ceremony.
"He was joking," Shen Zhiyi sat in his arms and scratched the short hair on the back of his neck, "It's not just you who's anxious. I also want to do it as soon as possible. We should have reached this point a long time ago."
He thought that there must be a reason why Mr. Qin was sent out. His words really touched people's soft spots. If he said a few more provocative words, Pei Yu would be very uncomfortable.
"Well," Pei Yu was obviously satisfied with her words. He stopped dwelling on Qin Fang's messy remarks and repeated, "It should have been done a long time ago."
If he had been luckier, he wouldn't have married her at the age of 28.
After sitting with Pei Yu for a while to sober up, Secretary Qin drove the two of them back to Huating.
The journey was long and Pei Yu fell asleep under the influence of alcohol. He rested his head on Shen Zhiyi's legs and put his arms around her waist. He was unwilling to let her go even when he was asleep.
Secretary Qin looked straight ahead, but still inadvertently saw the scene in the back seat through the rearview mirror - Shen Zhiyi lowered his eyebrows and stroked Pei Yu's hair.
Even if she didn't say anything, people could sense her affection for the person in her arms.
Secretary Qin suddenly recalled the scene of his last visit to Nanyuan, and the expression on Pei Yu's face when he brought Shen Zhiyi out. At that time, Shen Zhiyi was still known as "Huo Heng's girlfriend", and Pei Yu's interference made him puzzled. He didn't understand what was so good about Shen Zhiyi that he could win Pei Yu's favor.
Now it seems that he was wrong from the beginning. Shen Zhiyi didn't need to be good in any way, because Pei Yu loved her. He didn't love her for her looks or figure, but for her curved eyebrows, her gaze, every frown and smile were the reasons why Pei Yu loved her.
Vice versa, Shen Zhiyi loves Pei Yu, and loves the most real and naked Pei Yu.
