Gu An'an hadn't even noticed that Jiang Yong'an had come over.
However, Chen Bei's words made Jiang Mingxu freeze.
Even if this child is arrogant, he is still just a child.
It's one thing to complain behind someone's back, but to have such bad things said about someone overheard is embarrassing, even for someone as thick-skinned as Jiang Mingxu.
Gu An'an pretended nothing had happened and smiled as she spoke to Chen Bei, "Where did you go today?"
Chen Bei immediately left Jiang Yong'an to chat with Gu An'an, "I went to practice martial arts with Zhu'er this morning, and at noon I went to the bookstore with A-Yi to buy some books. In the afternoon I went to the market, and the acrobatics there looked so fun. Have you seen them, Sister Gu?"
"I've seen it once," Gu An'an said with a smile, "You watched it all afternoon?"
This made Chen Bei feel a little embarrassed. "They worked so hard, I couldn't help but watch them for a while longer."
It was obvious that the young master of the Chen family was generous, so the acrobatic troupe naturally came to perform for him.
Before long, the afternoon had passed.
Madam Xie didn't tell her exactly how much money her youngest son could spend, and Gu An'an didn't intend to ask about such a trivial matter.
They only chatted briefly about the lively acrobatic troupe before looking up to see Jiang Yong'an still there.
Gu An'an seemed to only just realize it, "You skipped work again today."
These words silenced the man for a moment.
She talked so much with that Chen family boy, but when she spoke to me, she not only had a cold expression, but her first words were also accusations against me.
It was as if the person who had thrown herself into her arms yesterday was not her.
If it weren't for her unintentional action, how could he have been so flustered today?
Jiang Yong'an stared at the woman sitting there for a while before speaking, "Yes, I'm not feeling well."
A burly man tells me he's not feeling well?
Gu An'an had no idea what he was up to. He couldn't possibly be saying that he had stayed up too late playing Go with the kids last night, which was why he wasn't feeling well.
Didn't they win a lot of money from that?
"If you're not feeling well, go see a doctor and take medicine. Don't avoid seeking medical help." Gu An'an said coaxingly, as if to a child, "Dr. Tian is home, now is the perfect time for you to go."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yong'an's gaze turned deep, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "I understand."
Last night was ultimately just an unintentional act by her while she was asleep; I was just overthinking it.
This trip seemed pointless, and Jiang Yong'an was about to leave when he suddenly heard Gu An'an call out to him, "Oh, right..."
The man slowly turned around, his eyes sparkling with expectation as he looked at Gu An'an. "What's wrong?"
Leaving Jiang Mingxu behind to go play with Chen Bei, Gu An'an went out to talk to Jiang Yong'an, "What's going on with your two brothers?"
Her earnestness, coupled with the fact that she was bringing up Bai Mu's matter, surprised Jiang Yong'an. "You're talking to me about the two of them?"
"Otherwise what?" What else could I say?
It was dusk, and the setting sun had painted most of the sky red. The warmth fell on Gu An'an's face, and for some reason, Jiang Yong'an thought of those beautiful noble ladies from the capital.
"The two of them don't have much to do, so they do odd jobs to earn some money."
Gu An'an hesitated slightly, "They are your brothers after all. Although they are not from the same father and mother, blood ties do not necessarily make people closer. Aren't you rich? You can give them some money and start a small business."
She even helped think of some ideas: "That Bai Mu is quick-witted, so he'd have no problem being an accountant. As for that Lao Liu, what's his name?"
"His surname is Liu, Liu Yong."
"Oh, that sixth brother is quite strong; he'd be more than capable of being a bodyguard or something."
Jiang Yong'an couldn't help but chuckle at her arrangement, "Then what do you think I'm suited to do?"
I wonder what Bai Mu and Lao Liu would think if they heard about this arrangement.
He was curious to know how Gu An'an viewed him.
However, Gu An'an never plays by the rules.
"Don't you know? You're so old, don't you know what you should and shouldn't do?"
These words, laced with barbs, caused the smile on Jiang Yong'an's face to slowly fade.
Am I being targeted?
But the woman clearly had no intention of explaining and turned to leave.
Jiang Yong'an hesitated for a long time before leaving the small courtyard.
Unexpectedly, I ran into two acquaintances as soon as I stepped outside.
The sixth brother didn't expect his sister-in-law to have such an unusual temper; she was almost about to point her finger at him and yell at him. "We were just worried about you, big brother, so we came to check on you."
Who knew I'd witness this scene?
Brother, this won't do. How can you let a woman ride on your head and scold you?
Where is the majesty of commanding the three armies back then?
The sixth brother lowered his head, trying to hide the reality behind the smile on his face.
Bai Mu, standing to the side, wasn't so relaxed. "I've prepared some food and wine. Would you like to have some when you get back, brother?"
Jiang Yong'an had little appetite, but he didn't refuse Bai Mu's offer.
The sixth brother, however, was more talkative. "My sister-in-law is very smart and quite good-looking. Why bother, brother?"
Why write a letter of divorce?
Those who knew the inside story understood that this was for the sake of their sister-in-law, but for a woman, a letter of divorce was a devastating blow.
Luckily, my sister-in-law is no ordinary person, otherwise she would probably have died eight or ten times over.
Jiang Yong'an drank silently, "I can't hold her back."
Having lived for over twenty years and witnessed countless deaths, he had come to regard life and death as insignificant.
But Gu An'an is still young and is helping him raise these children. How could he put this person in danger for his own selfish desires?
