"You and Meng Zhaojun are so familiar with each other?" The tone was somewhat sarcastic.
It was unclear whether Gu Nanyan had noticed, but he said, “Yes, Zhaojun is someone I found when I was young. She has always stayed by my side and grown up with me. We are like sisters, like siblings.” His voice was soft and steady, even with a hint of a smile.
"Then why don't you let her take the surname Gu?" Did you grow up together? Was she adopted?
Hmph, who isn't a childhood sweetheart?
I tapped my legs intermittently; they were so sore.
Gu Nanyan stood up and half-squatted in front of Shen Bei'an, lifting his robe and gently massaging him. "When I found Zhaojun, she had a jade pendant on her. The three characters 'Meng Zhaojun' were written in seal script. She never changed her name."
"So you didn't even investigate her before leaving her here?" He had no idea Gu Nanyan had become so trusting. "Besides, when did you find her? Why didn't I know?!"
They were almost always together when they were young, why doesn't he know?
His tone was arrogant, but he was mindful of the people around him and didn't speak very loudly.
"I checked. I found it when I was seven years old during special training in the Southwest region. It was then sent to Europe and never returned to the capital. It wasn't until I was eighteen and started getting involved in the Gu family's affairs that Zhaojun returned to the country to be with me." The woman gently rubbed her hands, replying casually.
I don't know which acupoints Gu Nanyan massaged, but Shen Bei'an is much more comfortable now.
What the hell!
Even now, he remains so calm and composed!
He's already said those things, doesn't she know he's jealous?
Is this what a domineering CEO is like?
Such low emotional intelligence?!
"Oh, so if you had been a man, or she had been a man, would you two have gotten married already?" Shen Bei'an felt increasingly upset as he thought about it, and his tone became icy.
Gu Nanyan looked up at him and asked with a smile, "An'an, are you jealous?"
A warm yellow light fell on her face, and the light reflected from her non-prescription glasses blurred Shen Bei'an's vision. Hearing Gu Nan'an's words, her heart trembled.
The stubborn Fifth Master retorted, "No! No way! What nonsense are you talking about? Do I look like the kind of person who gets jealous?" He grabbed Gu Nanyan's collar and said, "I'm just telling you, if you dare to cheat on me, whether it's physically or emotionally, I'll break your legs!"
Their wedding was a genuine ancient imperial wedding, and the vows were not the Western kind like "For richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish him for all eternity." Instead, they were a more classical-style vow.
Today, we rejoice in the union of two families, a solemn covenant sealed in this hall, a blessed union forever, a perfect match. Behold the vibrant peach blossoms of this day, a symbol of a harmonious and prosperous home; may your future be filled with countless offspring, a testament to your flourishing and thriving family. With this vow of lifelong commitment, inscribed on fine paper, may our pledge of love be recorded in the annals of marriage. This is our testament.
A hearty laugh escaped her throat. "No way," she said, reaching out to wrap her arms around Shen Bei'an's neck, pressing her forehead against his, her cool glasses resting on his face. "The Gu family produces many romantics. This place is already overflowing with your affections." She placed Shen Bei'an's hand on her left breast.
Shen Bei'an: What's the point of being so good at flirting!
The summer morning was still slightly chilly, but at this moment, Shen Bei'an felt hot all over, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes darted around, but she didn't dare to look at Gu Nan'an.
“You didn’t want to do those trivial things anyway, and they weren’t anything too important. Everyone knows Zhaojun is my special assistant, so it’s quite convenient for her to arrange things,” Gu Nanyan said slowly. She didn’t marry him for those messy household matters.
The Gu family members: ...
