Shen Bei'an chuckled, "Sweetie, there's no need for such talk between us. Besides, I'm just short of someone to help manage things, and with Young Master Cheng's abilities, of course I'd keep the benefits within the family."

My wife is definitely the best.

Fu Mutian sighed and lowered her eyes slightly. "Beibei, Ayan... is very reluctant to interact with outsiders, especially after I opened up to my family. He is always worried that he will embarrass me. He always feels that his status is too low and that being by my side will make me lose face. After that, he rarely went out."

“I would naturally worry if I left someone else by my side, but I would feel at ease if I left you by my side.”

"Then you'll have to treat me to a good meal, Sweetie. Don't worry." Shen Bei'an smiled, who would have thought that this young master Fu Jiu, known in the capital as "playing with beauties with a wine glass," would fall for him like this.

"I remember last year, Sweetie, didn't you say you were looking for a partner and getting married? It's only been a year, how quickly things have changed."

Fu Mutian was clearly also thinking about the arrogant words she had spoken back then.

"Ahem, when you meet the right person, it's just... right?" At this point, Fu Mutian's confidence instantly increased. "Didn't Xiao Yezi also clamor to conquer all the beauties in the world? Didn't she still fall for Young Master Lu?"

"And you, childhood sweetheart, our innocent friendship is something we can't compare to." He didn't forget to praise her at the end.

Shen Bei'an is easy to coax, at least in front of his lover, family and friends.

"That's natural."

"An'an is so happy, it seems she has gained a lot." Gu Nanyan had already finished washing up and was lying in bed.

Shen Bei'an was about to kiss his wife when he suddenly remembered that he had just finished eating barbecue. "That's right! I'll go wash up first, and wait until I'm done!"

He walked briskly towards the washroom.

"Yan Yan, on this trip, I not only recruited Cheng Yan, but also Ji Qi and a whole bunch of others." Shen Bei'an couldn't remember the names of those people.

She picked up the plaster, preparing to apply it to Gu Nanyan's stomach.

Gu Nanyan unfolded his robe, revealing his belly. "Ji Qi is Ziqi's younger brother. Although he is a bit playful, he is a good person. His childhood sweetheart died of autism, which has been a source of heartache for him all these years."

"Is he a young master from some family?" Shen Bei'an didn't know much about the aristocratic families in the capital, but since he was the childhood friend of the seventh young master of the Ji family, he should be a young master from some aristocratic family, right?

“No,” he said, his thin lips parting slightly, “he’s just an ordinary family’s child. He met Ji Qi in the music room. Just as the Mei family’s children learn opera, the Ji family’s children learn the zither. That child’s zither skills are superb, and he’s quite talented. He’s even better than Zi Qi, it’s just a pity…”

A genius died young.

"So over the years, Ji Qi has been educating people in remote areas about autism and has donated a lot of money. His friends have also joined him in doing charity work. The music of the Ji family can soothe people's minds. The five notes of ancient medicine, Jiao, Zheng, Gong, Shang, and Yu, correspond to the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, and also to the five internal organs of liver, heart, spleen, lung, and kidney. People in the Ji family who learn the qin all understand these things. That's why Ji Qi also performs for free."

Young people value relationships the most, especially the friendships formed in their youth.

"Ji Qi went to university in Xihua City, so he naturally studied music. If there are any events in the future, and the seventh young master of the Ji family plays a piece, I'm afraid many people will flock to see him."

The Ji family's performance was like the Mei family's opera singing.

Both have the effect of soothing the mind. In today's fast-paced life, how many people are willing to spend a fortune to listen to a song?

"I've acquired a great master for free!" Shen Bei'an's eyes lit up instantly. Although the empire had advanced medical equipment, most people still believed in ancient medical techniques, just like the Weisheng family and the Ziya family.

Musical instruments passed down from ancient times are closely related to ancient medicine.

"That's true. Although Ji Qi is not as good as Zi Qi, he is still extremely talented in this generation of the Ji family. Moreover, compared to Zi Qi, his songs are much harder to buy."

Ji Luqi is the young master, and since he will inherit the Ji family in the future, he naturally has to maintain the family's reputation.

But Ji Zhengqi was different. His older sister was the young master, and he was the seventh child. Being a playboy was enough for him.

"So An'an is very lucky." Gu Nanyan raised his hand and ruffled the hair beside him.

Shen Bei'an carefully put away the ointment, then lowered his head and kissed her beauty mark. "That's probably because Yan Yan was there~"

He wasn't very lucky, but his wife was truly blessed by heaven.

Gu Nanyan hooked his arm around Shen Bei'an's neck, their foreheads touching, "An'an, is your little mouth coated with honey? How can it be so sweet?"

Shen Bei'an leaned forward, "Then Yan Yan, would you like to try some?"

Her phoenix eyes were deep and unfathomable; she suddenly felt that getting pregnant now was a bit too early…

Gently gather, slowly twist, rub, and pick.

“He Wu has disappeared without a trace…” The woman in the light pink butterfly-patterned dress blinked slightly, her mind filled with thoughts.

The young man sitting in the high position stroked the jade pendant and asked, "What do you think, Jun-ge?"

Han Lianjun stood aside, pondering for a moment, "Uncle Qing, I think there was no rumor about He Wu's disappearance in the capital, so I'm afraid it was something the He family did. He Wu... I don't think the He family will give up on He Wu easily."

He Enqi's methods are far more sophisticated than He Enliu's.

Qingran looked at Han Lianjun with deep eyes, seemingly lost in thought. She then turned to Tang Ruowei and asked, "Since you can't find He Wu, do you have any other plans?"

As young masters of the Ning family, the other two were well-nurtured by the Ning family, but the remaining few were either used as experimental subjects or raised as playthings.

Ning Xiao is truly... amazing.

Tang Ruowei raised her beautiful eyes slightly, "I will follow Uncle Qing's instructions."

Tang Ruowei was unaware of her background, but because she grew up in the Tang family, she did not look down on herself like Cheng Yan did.

She only met scions of prominent families, and her own talent led her to have high standards, even to the point of being arrogant.

"Prepare well for 711's assessment. 711 will be coming to the capital tomorrow to select new recruits, and I hope you can join us," Qingran said calmly.

They are, after all, children of the Ning family.

Tang Ruowei didn't speculate too much. She had been preparing for 711's assessment for a long time. "Yes, Wei will definitely not disappoint Uncle Qing."

"You can both leave now." Qingran's eyes swept over the two of them. "Don't go too far."

Before the two left, they heard Qingran say something like this.

Once outside, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. "Uncle Qing...does he know?" Tang Ruowei asked Han Lianjun.

Han Lianjun blatantly took Tang Ruowei's hand and walked forward, saying, "We can't hide it from Uncle Qing. Since Uncle Qing hasn't said anything, we don't need to care too much. In any case, the possibility of the two of us getting married in the future is not high."

They both knew that their relationship was just a fling, a mutual exchange of interests.

How could they possibly get married?

Tang Ruowei wasn't hurt by Han Lianjun's words. They were just pawns to begin with; why should she choose which one to move?
