The old butler quickly brought over the tea set to brew tea for them, his movements were very skillful.
Gu Baiwei couldn't help but take a second look; she hadn't expected that brewing tea would require so many steps.
Soon, all the procedures were completed, and the old butler smiled and placed a steaming cup of tea in front of her.
"Miss Gu, please enjoy your meal. This is my master's treasured collection. Ordinary guests don't have this privilege."
In a fine white porcelain cup, a light brown liquid releases wisps of white steam, and the aroma of tea is irresistible.
She carefully picked up the cup and took a sip; the aroma of the tea immediately filled her mouth, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.
Shen Nanshan also took a sip of tea, looking at her with an inquiring gaze: "How is this tea?"
Gu Baiwei had hardly ever properly drunk tea in both her lives, and after much deliberation, she could only come up with two words: "Delicious."
Hearing her say that, Shen Nanshan seemed to suddenly become interested, staring intently at her: "How would you like it?"
She doesn't usually drink tea, except for milk tea, so she has no idea how good it is.
"that is……"
She hesitated for a long time, unsure of how to respond, when the black-clad bodyguard who had been waiting outside the door strode in.
"Master, the eldest young master is back."
Upon hearing this, Gu Baiwei felt as if she had been granted a pardon. On the other side, as soon as Shen Yanqing stepped into the villa, a small figure rushed up to him, grabbed his leg with both little hands, and began to wail.
"Waaaaah... Uncle, someone bullied me! You have to help me get revenge and teach that damned woman a lesson! Waaaaah..."
Yang Zhuo cried so hard she could barely breathe, pitifully clinging to him and refusing to let go.
Shen Yanqing frowned and lifted the person up from the ground: "What woman?"
"She was a very fierce woman. I accidentally hit her with a pebble, and she not only hit me on the head, but also spanked my butt."
Yang Zhuo pointed to the gauze in the middle of her head, pouting with a wronged expression.
Where is she?
"She's inside the house, having tea with her grandfather right now."
After Yang Zhuo finished speaking, he continued to embellish the story: "I don't even dare to sit down now, Uncle, you must help me teach her a good lesson."
He had barely finished speaking when he noticed that his uncle's expression seemed a little off.
"You threw stones at her?"
Yang Zhuo nodded subconsciously.
"Where did it smash?"
Shen Yanqing squatted down in front of him, staring at him coldly. Her obvious displeasure made Yang Zhuo unconsciously swallow, feeling a chill run down his spine.
It didn't feel like his uncle was here to avenge him, but rather to seek revenge on him.
"Uncle, I suddenly remembered I haven't done my homework yet, I'll..."
Just as Yang Zhuo was about to slip away, Shen Yanqing grabbed him by the back of the neck and lifted him up.
In the living room, Gu Baiwei turned around first upon hearing footsteps, only to be met with a small face covered in tears.
Shen Yanqing unceremoniously dragged the person in front of Gu Baiwei, his tone filled with intimidation: "Apologize."
"No way! Go ahead and kill me if you dare! Waaah, Uncle is a bad guy! I'm going to tell Mom and make her spank you too!"
"Apologize."
Shen Yan repeated with a cold expression.
"No way! Why should I apologize to her? I got hit too! Waaah, you're bullying a child..."
Yang Zhuo cried and struggled, two long streams of snot flowing from her nostrils down to her chin.
As soon as he opened his mouth, snot went into it.
Shen Yanqing released her hand in disgust: "Shut up."
"No, no... Waaah, I'm going to cry."
Yang Zhuo cried even harder after hearing his shout.
"If you don't shut up, you'll lose your allowance next month."
"Ooh...hiccup..."
He stopped crying completely, staring at Shen Yanqing with wide, red, swollen eyes: "Uncle, I won't cry anymore, can you not deduct my allowance?"
"Apologize."
"Sister, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
He is indeed flexible and adaptable.
"Call her aunt."
Shen Yanqing corrected him with a cold expression.
"ah?"
Yang Zhuo looked up and met Shen Yanqing's cold eyes, then immediately bowed ninety degrees to Gu Baiwei: "Aunt, I'm sorry, I will never dare to do it again."
No wonder his uncle was acting so strangely today; it turns out that the woman in front of him is the legendary future aunt who has made his uncle lose his appetite and sleep.
It seems I need to be more polite to my future aunt in the future, otherwise my allowance will be cut off again.
Having made up his mind, Yang Zhuo smiled brightly at Gu Baiwei, displaying remarkable flexibility.
Gu Baiwei was a little unaccustomed to the child suddenly becoming so polite.
"It doesn't matter."
She paused for a moment, then added, "Remember to apologize to Xiaomi later, and don't bully her again."
"I didn't mean to bully the little idiot, it's just that she always ignores me..."
Yang Zhuo muttered softly, feeling wronged.
She looked up and met her uncle's warning gaze, immediately stood up straight, and said loudly, "I understand, Aunt."
Shen Yanqing nodded in satisfaction, took a long stride and sat down next to Gu Baiwei, and said in a calm voice, "Your allowance will double next month."
Yang Zhuo was overjoyed and fawned over Gu Baiwei, tilting his head as he asked, "Auntie, are your legs sore? Do you want me to massage them for you?"
A moment later, she asked, "Auntie, are your shoulders tired? Let me massage them for you?"
Go back and do your homework.
Shen Yanqing was annoyed by his nagging. She pressed her temples and spoke in a cold voice.
"Auntie, I'm going to do my homework now. Goodbye."
Yang Zhuo smiled and waved to her, then turned and went upstairs, feeling quite pleased with himself. He knew that today's meal hadn't been in vain, as his allowance had doubled.
With the child gone, the living room fell silent again, leaving only the aroma of tea.
Shen Yanqing then looked at Shen Nanshan opposite him: "Dad, why did you call me back?"
Shen Nanshan, who was drinking tea across from him, put down his teacup, staring at him with his deep eyes, remaining silent.
After a long pause, he coughed and asked, "When are you two planning to get married?"
Shen Yanqing never expected that he had called her back just to ask about this matter, and her gaze subconsciously turned to Gu Baiwei beside her.
Seeing her cheeks slightly flushed, her beautiful, fair fingers nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, and her head slightly lowered in a nervous manner, I knew she wasn't ready yet.
"No rush, let's wait a bit longer."
Her memory hasn't fully returned, and the antidote hasn't been successfully developed yet, so now is not the best time to get married.
He wanted to propose to her again when she recovered.
"Not in a hurry? Your sister is only a year older than you, and Xiao Zhu is already seven years old. You haven't even gotten married yet. By then, she'll already have two children, and you'll still be all alone. Is that reasonable?"
Shen Nanshan slammed the teacup down on the table, the force of which shook the tabletop.
He turned to look at Gu Baiwei: "Girl, what's your opinion?"
"I……"
Gu Baiwei didn't know how to answer; she really wasn't ready to get married again.
One hand, which was resting on the sofa, was grasped by a large, warm hand that offered a sense of reassurance.
