Chapter 19 I Can't Help Myself
Peach blossoms are falling.
Gu Nanyue leaned in the man's arms, staring at him in a daze.
It was the first time she had looked at Shen Boyan so closely, and his facial features were as perfect as if they were drawn.
Thick black eyebrows, narrow eyes, high nose bridge, and very thin lips.
At this moment, his brows were slightly frowned, and a gloomy aura permeated his handsome face.
Gu Nanyue couldn't help swallowing when she saw this.
The man's deep and profound eyes suddenly looked at her.
Their eyes met, and Gu Nanyue opened her eyes wide, forgetting to react for a moment.
The wind blew through the peach forest, and petals kept falling. The two looked at each other in the crimson sky. After a while, Gu Nanyue came out of his arms.
"Thank...thank you." Gu Nanyan thanked him awkwardly, then looked at Chen Xuan, who was lying on the ground with one eye beaten like a panda, and said, "Is he... okay?"
Uncle Shen Boyan's family are not good people, so they won't cause trouble for him, right?
"fine."
Shen Boyan looked calm, without even glancing at Shen Xuan, and turned to walk out of the peach forest.
Gu Nanyue hurried to catch up with him.
The two walked out of the peach forest, with many flower petals falling on their bodies.
After Gu Nanyan shook herself, she pointed at Chen Boyan's head.
Seeing Chen Boyan looking at her blankly, she thought about it, and simply stood on tiptoe and blew gently at the top of his head, and two petals fell.
The girl's sweet fragrance drifted into his nose along with the faint breeze, and Shen Boyan froze in place.
In those black eyes as deep as the sea, light flashed quickly.
"Okay, no more."
After blowing off the petals for the man, Gu Nanyue smiled sweetly.
Shen Boyan looked at her for a few seconds without blinking, his throat moved, but he didn't say anything, then turned and walked out.
Chen Xuan, the drunkard, was still in the peach forest. Gu Nanyan didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly caught up with Chen Boyan: "Have you...finished your work?"
"Um."
Ling Hanzhi was tactful enough to only send over a few urgent documents.
"Have you seen Xiao Mumu?"
Old Madam Shen didn't like him very much, and Gu Nanyue didn't want to spoil the mood by staying around, so she just left Xiao Mumu there.
"Well, the old lady had a lot of fun with him."
Shen Boyan kept walking forward, but Gu Nanyan noticed that this was not the direction back to the main house.
The Shen family's old house was built by the lake, and this direction seems to be leading to the lake.
Gu Nanyue didn't say anything else, and just followed him silently to the lake.
It is spring time, and the lakeside is full of weeping willows with new buds, the color of tender green and full of vitality.
The afternoon sun shines on the lake, creating rippling waves and a peaceful atmosphere.
There were several benches by the lake, and Shen Boyan picked one and sat down.
Gu Nanyue thought for a few seconds and decided to sit on a bench with him.
The two of them were about half a meter apart, quietly looking at the scenery of the lake and mountains in the afternoon.
Maybe because she got up too early in the morning, Gu Nanyue felt sleepy after sitting for a while.
She raised her hand and yawned slightly, then turned to see that Shen Boyan had no intention of leaving for a while, so she simply leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes for a nap.
In less than two minutes, he fell asleep.
The sound of even breathing came from the side, and Shen Boyan turned his head, only to see the little woman next to him leaning on the bench, her head tilted, her eyes closed.
A palm-sized face with very delicate features, curved thin eyebrows, a straight nose, small lips, and closed eyes, with a row of eyelashes like small fans.
The woman looked very well behaved while sleeping, but the posture seemed unstable. Her head kept sliding down and her eyebrows were slightly frowned in her sleep.
Shen Boyan was silent for a few seconds, and his noble body silently moved half a meter closer to her. When her head slid down again, he directly lifted her head and leaned it against his shoulder.
The little girl finally slept soundly.
Shen Boyan's stern face was a little tense, and the unique fragrance of girls lingered at the tip of his nose. His throat suddenly felt a little dry. After rolling twice, he simply closed his eyes.
But he opened his eyes again after a few seconds, turned his head slightly to look at the little woman on his shoulder, and stared at her deeply in the romantic afternoon sunshine.
Gu Nanyue was awakened by the ringing of a cell phone.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Shen Boyan hanging up the phone with a cold face.
The caller ID on the phone showed Qin Yuwei.
Gu Nanyue was a little dazed in her sleep. She stared at the man's handsome profile for several seconds before she realized that they were so close.
She suddenly realized something and looked at his suit which was slightly wrinkled on his shoulders.
Did she... just sleep on his shoulder?
"Are you awake?"
Shen Boyan looked at him, and the little girl looked at him in confusion, then nodded twice in confusion.
God knows how cute this look is.
"I still have some work to deal with. Do you want me to find a servant to show you around the old house?"
"No need, I'm very familiar with the way to the old house..."
The girl had just woken up and her voice was soft.
"Okay, call me if you have anything."
Shen Boyan's voice unconsciously became much gentler.
"Telephone?"
Gu Nanyue remembered that she didn't seem to have his phone number.
Shen Boyan didn't say anything, he just took out his phone and skillfully typed in a number and dialed.
Gu Nanyue's cell phone rang immediately.
She picked it up and took a look, and Shen Boyan put away the phone calmly: “The old lady asked us to have dinner before going back. If you don’t want to go shopping, you can go back to your room and rest.”
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Gu Nanyue watched her disappear in the brilliant afternoon light.
I looked down at his number in my phone.
Are the two of them...getting closer?
…
"You are a child born by a mother but not wanted by her!"
"Nerd, don't think you're great just because you can please your great-grandmother. Your great-grandmother felt sorry for you because no one wanted you when you were born."
"My mom said that your parents will get divorced sooner or later, and you'll be an orphan in the future. How pitiful."
Gu Nanyue guessed that Old Mrs. Shen was going to take a nap, so she went to look for Xiao Mumu. However, halfway through her journey, she heard Xiao Putao's voice outside a small courtyard.
"Why are you staring at me? Your mother is a crazy woman. Your father won't like her. He will find you a stepmother and won't want you anymore."
"A little beggar that no one wants, lululu~"
If Gu Nanyue hadn't heard it with her own ears, she wouldn't have believed that a five-year-old child could say so many vicious words.
She walked slowly to the gate of the courtyard and looked inside. She saw Xiao Pu Tao and Xiao Mu Mu standing in the yard, with only a maid beside them.
This maid looked familiar, as if she was the one who had been serving Tan Yumei today.
Xiao Mumu is two years younger than Xiao Putao, but they are not much different in height. However, he is more immature in nature. After being humiliated by Xiao Putao, he just looked at her with bulging eyes, his eyes were bloodshot.
"Cry, cry, little beggar, you are a motherless child, so pitiful."
"I have a mom! My mom is not a crazy woman, she is the best mom in the world!"
Xiao Mumu finally couldn't help it and retorted loudly.
