Shen Beian pouted and reached out to grab Gu Nanyan's wrist. "Ayan... I'm not even half full yet! Really!" The Dongpo pork here is even better than Aunt Wang's!

How could anyone possibly stop talking?

Gu Nanyan ruthlessly put the remaining piece of braised pork into his mouth, placed the small plate aside, and said, "An'an, do you want to count how much you ate tonight?" After finishing the food in a few bites, she looked at him.

Shen Bei'an: This... isn't really necessary.

Okay, he admits, he's full now, not seven-tenths full, but ten-tenths full.

"But, can I still have some desserts or something?" She gently shook Gu Nanyan's arm, perhaps because he had been woken up by a toothache in the middle of the night one night, and ever since then, Gu Nanyan had paid more and more attention to his diet.

The snack room was locked, not to mention the desserts. Unless he was attending a banquet, everything was under Gu Nanyan's supervision.

"Desserts have their own stomach, you know." Meeting Gu Nanyan's gaze, Shen Beian knew she probably wouldn't be able to think about what to eat tonight, and she looked aggrieved.

He completely disregarded the fact that his nephew was still there.

"Where do you get all this nonsense?" Gu Nanyan reached out and pinched Shen Bei'an's nose. "An'an, you've already exceeded your sugar intake today. I wasn't around just now, so I don't need to tell you how many desserts you ate. If you wake up with a toothache in the middle of the night, it won't be me who suffers."

That really scared Gu Nanyan.

Shen Bei'an had a toothache when she was young because she ate too much candy and desserts. Gu Nan'an had been controlling his toothache ever since, and after that incident, he stopped caring. Shen Bei'an herself also ate less candy.

This has started again.

"Anyway, there's a cell repair device..." Shen Bei'an muttered softly. That night, he was in a lot of pain, and Gu Nan'an just carried him into the cell repair device. He stayed inside for less than three minutes and came out as if nothing had happened.

Shen Juanqing and Xie Yunyu, who were standing nearby, trembled as they listened.

The two looked at each other, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

Toothache, just a toothache

They're actually using the world's best-performing, highest-level cell repair device?!

The level of luxury is beyond words.

“The cell repair device is a medical machine; you can’t rely on it forever.” Gu Nanyan sighed, realizing that Shen Bei’an had become indifferent to it ever since he learned about it. She didn’t use it just because she felt sorry for Shen Bei’an and wanted to help him with minor injuries.

That thing was originally prepared for Shen Bei'an at Biluo Xiaozhu.

It's because Shen Bei'an doesn't care about getting hurt at all, and she's afraid of giving Shen Bei'an the bad idea that getting hurt doesn't matter since there's a cell repair device.

“An’an, it hurts me to see you in pain. It hurts me to see you injured. This has nothing to do with the cell repair device, do you understand?” Her phoenix eyes shimmered as she looked at Shen Bei’an.

Shen Bei'an bit his lip. He had indeed become somewhat reliant on the cell repair device lately. He nodded, "I know, you are too~"

He still vividly remembers the extent of Gu Nanyan's hand injuries that time.

Why didn't Gu Nanyan use the cell repair device?

Gu Nanyan raised his hand and ruffled Shen Bei'an's hair, then poured him a cup of flower tea and handed it to him, saying, "Drink some flower tea to cleanse your palate."

Shen Bei'an sipped her flower tea slowly, and only then did Gu Nan'an look at the two surprised people.

"It's getting late, An'an and I are planning to head back. What about you two?"

Shen Juanqing curled his lips slightly, "There might be a little farce, we'll have to wait a while." He used an ambiguous word to address Gu Nanyan.

"What little farce?!" Shen Bei'an leaned over and casually placed the teacup in Gu Nan'an's hand, his peach blossom eyes brightening slightly.

"Nothing much, Uncle. It was just some underhanded tactics. He brought it on himself." Subconsciously, Shen Juanqing didn't want Shen Bei'an to see those things. After all, in the eyes of the Shen family, Shen Bei'an didn't need to know or see these things. He just needed to be safe, happy, and see all the beauty in the world.

The others are there.

She looked at Gu Nanyan and said, "Auntie, please take Uncle back first. It's getting late. Uncle, you should get ready to rest too."

Shen Bei'an curled his lips and snorted. Did he think he wouldn't know just because he didn't say anything?

In the original story, it seems the female lead was drugged and the person who drugged her suffered the consequences.

Anyway, it's caused quite a stir, and if I remember correctly, it should be trending on social media tomorrow.

But it seems that it didn't escalate in the end, after all, the person in charge of this banquet was no ordinary person.

"Let's go, An'an, let's go back first." Gu Nanyan was just like the Shen family in this respect, putting down his teacup and taking Shen Bei'an's hand.

"Fine." Anyway, there's nothing fun to do here.

But the female lead... is probably here to find a wife.

But why haven't you said anything?

How come he doesn't remember that the female lead in the original book was a socially anxious person?

Xie Yunyu hadn't said much until Gu Nanyan was about to leave, at which point she opened her mouth, but then hesitated and closed it again, feeling somewhat disappointed.

“Oh, right,” that voice, as clear as frost and snow, suddenly reached Xie Yunyu’s ears, “I forgot to ask Young Master Xie how he is feeling?” It carried a hint of concern for the younger generation.

Xie Yunyu's starry eyes sparkled, and her pretty face was full of smiles. "I feel much better, thank you for your concern, Young Master."

"Your complexion has indeed improved a lot. It seems that what Zhaojun gave you was useful." Gu Nanyan looked her up and down and nodded slightly.

"Young Master Meng's gift is of great help to Xie Yunyu." Xie Yunyu knew many things, but some materials were difficult to obtain, and what Meng Zhaojun sent were all things Xie Yunyu needed. "I must thank Young Master Meng for his gift."

Xie Yunyu also knew that these were all instructions given by Gu Nanyan.

"See when you're free and have her take a closer look for you," Gu Nanyan nodded.

"I'm free anytime!" Xie Yunyu replied without hesitation.

These words, once spoken, were met with disapproval from a few people not far away...

Boss, don't you feel guilty saying that?!

What does it mean to be available anytime?

Every time we try to reach you, you say you're too busy.

Or even simply not reply to messages?

The group hugged their aggrieved selves: In the end, we were wronged!

Gu Nanyan showed no surprise whatsoever, and didn't think there was anything wrong with the second-year student from Qingjin High School saying that. "But, I'll have Zimo contact you."

"Mmm!" Xie Yunyu nodded like a chick.

Gu Nanyan led Shen Bei'an by the hand to her and gently patted her shoulder. "There's no need for that. Although I'm your elder, An'an and I are not of the same age. Just relax." He raised an eyebrow at Shen Juanqing.
