Of course, this is also related to the increasing number of female heirs.

Many aristocratic families, in order to plan ahead, choose to implant gestational sacs into some of their male sons shortly after birth. These gestational sacs will change as their bodies grow, without affecting other bodily functions, but simply giving them the ability to "reproduce".

Naturally, these young men were chosen for future marriage alliances.

Gu Nanyan never told Shen Beian about the gestational sac, and naturally, the Shen family never mentioned it either.

It was only when a few classmates came to visit later that they mentioned it casually, and somehow Shen Beian remembered it.

Shen Bei'an blinked innocently, his words slightly muffled as Gu Nan'an gently pinched him.

"Just like Shuo Shuo (just kidding)." Those captivating peach blossom eyes seemed to hold a sky full of stars.

Gu Nanyan lowered his head and kissed him.

Their lips and tongues intertwined, the delicate fragrance of the flower tea lingering between them.

Sunlight filters through the branches, dappling the petals like leaping flames or fluttering butterflies, enticing even the most agile butterflies to dance.

The kiss was gentle yet subtly forceful.

"An'an, don't think about this kind of thing anymore, okay?"

No one understands Shen Bei'an better than Gu Nan'an; what he says must be what he truly wants to achieve.

Gu Nanyan was also aware that there was no gestation sac in Shen Bei'an's original world, but she married Shen Bei'an not for the sake of children, heirs, or to have Shen Bei'an bear her children.

It was simply to make their relationship the closest it could be, to give her enough power to make decisions for Shen Bei'an while he was in a coma, and to love him, pamper him, and protect him better.

Shen Beian hooked her arm around Gu Nanyan's neck and sighed.

He just wanted to share the burden with Yan Yan, didn't he?

After all, Yan Yan was so busy with work. If he had been the one who got pregnant and gave birth, Yan Yan would have had a much easier time.

Shen Bei'an was still very interested in the fact that she had the "conditions" to get pregnant and have children.

"Yan Yan, are there any young men in the capital who have had a gestational sac implanted and given birth?" Shen Bei'an decisively changed the subject.

Gu Nanyan narrowed his eyes and answered Shen Beian's question, "The husband of the second young master of the Su family is the fourth young master of the Ming family. He had a gestational sac implanted and gave birth to the eldest daughter of the second young master of the Su family. The third young master of the Ye family, whom you know, married the third young master of the Jiang family and also gave birth to the eldest daughter of Ye San, who is also the first young master of the younger generation of the Ye family."

“There are many more like this in the capital, and even more in the empire and the world.” Gu Nanyan wasn’t particularly interested in these matters.

"Ye San's eldest daughter is the first young master among the younger generation of the Ye family!" Shen Bei'an exclaimed in surprise.

This is a child born in wedlock.

Although it is a system of primogeniture, the eldest son of the legitimate wife is naturally the one who is born first.

Gu Nanyan nodded, "Ye San and Jiang San are childhood sweethearts. Ye San joined the army and Jiang San went into business. Their marriage was arranged long ago."

Interestingly, something happened when the two of them got married.

Gu Nanyan casually mentioned it to her husband.

"On the night of their wedding, Ye San received a last-minute military order and went to Australia. He was still wearing his bright red wedding dress when he left during the toasting ceremony."

"Jiang San was left alone in his empty room."

"The two of them were always led by Ye San, and their relationship was always very good, so Jiang San prepared a lot of 'dowry' but it was never used."

"And then what happened?" For some reason, Shen Bei'an's voice sounded somewhat sinister.

Gu Nanyan was so engrossed in listening to her husband's story that she didn't immediately notice Shen Bei'an's emotions.

"Later, Ye San seemed to use washboards, durian peels and other things to his advantage, and after a night of passion, he slept in the study for more than a month."

Things between husband and wife are naturally not something that can be spread around so much.

Gu Nanyan knew this because Jiang San was the cousin of her classmate Jiang Yuzhu.

"Oh, really?" Shen Bei'an hooked Gu Nan'an's chin. "Is that all?"

Gu Nanyan looked down at her husband and only then realized that something was wrong.

He frowned slightly, just about to speak.

Suddenly it occurred to me that my own wedding night was also spent flying all the way to Australia!

He immediately shut his mouth.

Her captivating peach blossom eyes curved into a half-smile, "Why did you stop talking?"

Oh, so you remembered that you did this stupid thing back in the day!

He said he always felt like he had forgotten something!

Oh, so that's what it was about!

Due to amnesia during those two years, Gu Nanyan was merely a marriage prospect in his eyes.

He, Master Shen, is a troublesome and capricious little devil.

How could they possibly be willing to enter into a marriage of convenience!

Even those who were watching the Shen family were not kind to them.

Not to mention Gu Nanyan, the person in question.

Are you avoiding me?

"What, does the eldest young master think I'm being too pretentious?"

"Can't take it anymore?"

"Do you still think I'm not good enough for you?"

Four questions in a row.

The beautiful and charming Fifth Master Shen still had her arms around the young master's neck. Her face, which was as beautiful as a fairy and surpassed even demons, was full of smiles. Her clear, ink-like peach blossom eyes were as deep as a pool, and the slightly upturned corners of her eyes, illuminated by the sunlight, seemed to have been lightly tinted with eyeshadow, making her even more alluring.

Gu Nanyan was about to seal the kiss with his own.

Shen Bei'an reached out and pinched Gu Nan'an's thin lips, his smile widening. "Don't give me any nonsense. If you don't make things clear today, you can expect to sleep in my study. Anyway, I'm quite happy to sleep with these two little brats right now."
