At noon, Shen Beian returned to the main room and collapsed onto the sofa, panting heavily.

He was extremely grateful to his dear wife for forcing him to put on socks and change into sneakers.

Is this called "Xiaozhu"? It's about the same size as a manor, isn't it?

How could such a large villa exist in a place as small as the capital?!

"Let's get a massage first," Gu Nanyan said, seemingly no different from usual. "Shall we continue this afternoon?" with a hint of teasing.

Shen Bei'an slumped on the sofa, shaking his head. Gu Nan'an came over to help him and fed him some water. "No, thank you." After drinking some water, Shen Bei'an felt much better, but that didn't mean he was fully recovered and could continue in the afternoon.

"I have plans with Sister Tian and the others tonight." If he spends another afternoon shopping, he won't have to go.

Gu Nanyan chuckled softly and helped Shen Bei'an up. "Well, there'll be plenty of time later. Let's get a massage first. Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll ask Aunt Wang to add it."

Shen Beian's mind was blank, and he was practically lying on Gu Nanyan. "No need, Aunt Wang can do it."

Whether it was because her body was quick or something else, when Shen Bei'an came to her senses, she was lying directly on Gu Nan'an's back.

Since we're basically leaning on each other anyway, we might as well just carry it on our backs.

Feeling the weight on him, Gu Nanyan adjusted his position to prevent Shen Bei'an from falling. "Be careful."

"I know, it's because you're here." Shen Bei'an leaned against her shoulder.

In the past, being carried on a girl's back was something Shen Bei'an had never imagined.

But after arriving here, it seems that being pampered by Gu Nanyan has become the norm.

He could act coquettishly or even get angry at everyone around him without restraint, and they all seemed to pamper him without any limits, especially Gu Nanyan.

But this feeling did not make him happy.

Instead, I felt a pang of anxiety...

He always felt that the memory he had lost was very important, but his companions were unaware of it. So what about Gu Nanyan?

What role does she play in all of this?

"Mm," Gu Nanyan replied softly, with a hint of pleasure in his voice.

In the afternoon, Shen Beian originally planned to accompany Gu Nanyan to the company, but he got a little bored halfway there, so he simply dragged Shen Juanchi, whom he met along the way, to go shopping together.

"Uncle, why don't you just have someone deliver it to Biluo Xiaozhu? Why are you carrying it?" Chen Juanchi asked breathlessly, carrying several bags in his hands.

He really came to Gu's Group to learn, but who knew he would run into his own uncle on the way and then be dragged shopping.

Shen Beian held up a finger and gently shook it. "No, no, no, you don't understand the joy of shopping. Shopping is fun when you're carrying bags and bags of things!"

Shen Juanchi looked at his beloved uncle, who was dressed in a camellia-colored brocade robe with silver auspicious clouds embroidered on the cuffs, a vermilion and white jade belt around his waist with a black jade pendant hanging from it, and a smile on his handsome face.

They looked so youthful and vibrant that they made people stop and look away.

"I think your aunt will be very happy if you invite her next time."

He was wrong; he shouldn't have become Assistant Meng's assistant!

However, being able to serve as Assistant to Special Assistant Meng is probably an extremely rare opportunity.

Despite being of similar age, these young masters from prominent families seemed utterly incomparable to Assistant Meng.

Moreover, I have indeed learned a lot from working alongside Assistant Meng.

Shen Beian simulated the scene in his mind.

"If I put aside my work to go shopping with An'an, shouldn't An'an also have to do something in return?"

She shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, she's busy." Let's forget about this terrifying scenario.

As a member of the Shen family, Shen Juanchi naturally wouldn't be like Fu Mutian and the others, but he was still very well-versed in that kind of education, so he immediately reacted when he saw something amiss with Shen Bei'an.

It seems my aunt is quite capable.

"Uncle, we've been shopping for so long, how about we grab some desserts or milk tea and take a break?" They had come straight to the largest shopping mall in Beijing, and Chen Juanchi spotted a dessert shop with his sharp eyes.

Shen Beian stroked his chin. "Let's go. Give these things to Yan Wu first, and we'll continue later." He looked Shen Juanchi up and down.

As Chen Juanchi turned around, a burly man appeared beside him. He guessed this was Yan Wu, the man his uncle had mentioned. He handed all the things to Yan Wu.

"Yan Wu, you should take him back to Biluo Xiaozhu first." Having two bodyguards around is quite convenient.

"Yes, sir."

Sitting in the dessert shop, Chen Juanchi took the menu and ordered two desserts and two cups of herbal tea.

Shen Bei'an looked at him in surprise, "You only ordered two desserts?!" Incredulous, she was about to order a few more.

“Uncle,” Chen Juanchi reached out to stop him, looking at him with a hint of helplessness on his face, “Auntie instructed that you cannot consume too many desserts.”

"Anyway, she doesn't know." Shen Bei'an refused. He had finally managed to get out of the house, how could he possibly listen to her again?

Chen Juanchi feigned pitifulness, "Uncle, it took me a lot of effort to convince Aunt and Assistant Meng. This internship opportunity is really important to me."

Looking at his nephew's pitiful little face, Shen Bei'an...

“No, your aunt isn’t the kind of person who uses her position for personal gain.” Shen Bei’an was quite confident about this.

What domineering CEO who abandoned his wife to be with his young lover? Oh, in their case, it should be the young lover's husband.

It does not exist at all.

Otherwise, Gu Nanyan wouldn't be so busy.

I spent the whole morning with him this morning. I only ate a few bites at noon before rushing to the company. I've been busy the whole time, going in and out of her office. I could also hear Assistant Meng talking about some kind of meeting from time to time.

I just received a message from her telling him to go to bed early tonight and not to wait for her, as she's probably busy until late.

Desserts and herbal tea were served quickly.

Shen Juanchi slowly stirred the tea leaves with the cup lid, her voice very soft, "But if that were my uncle, everything would be different." Shen Juanchi was only two years younger than Shen Bei'an, so she naturally knew a little about their relationship.

"Huh?" Shen Beian picked up a small fork, ready to savor the delicious food, but didn't quite hear what Shen Juanchi had said earlier.

Chen Juanchi gently shook his head. "It's nothing, Uncle. I just wanted to tell you to eat less sweets. When you had that toothache when you were little, it almost scared us to death."

That was also the first time he realized that Gu Nanyan could also lose his composure.

Shen Beian was happily chewing when he heard Shen Juanchi's words and was taken aback. "Oh dear, that was when we were kids. Why bring it up again? Hurry up and eat, or else..." His eyes were fixed on Shen Juanchi's untouched dessert.

The meaning is self-evident.

Chen Juanchi smiled at Chen Bei'an, then mercilessly chopped up Miss Mousse with his little fork and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm?" Chen Juanchi glanced outside and saw a familiar figure.

"What's wrong?" Shen Bei'an ate his snacks in small bites. He had never felt so wronged before. He looked up at him.
