Xie Yunyu's body was tense, but she relaxed a little after Gu Nanyan gently patted her. She smiled at Gu Nanyan, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said, "Mmm..." Her starry eyes were filled with brilliance.
Suddenly, Xie Yunyu thought of something and looked at Shen Juanqing.
"What's wrong, Young Master Xie?" Shen Juanqing asked, somewhat puzzled. Although staring at someone was not very polite, it could make him feel happy and a little shy if that person was someone he liked.
"The eldest son is the aunt of the eldest son of the Shen family, and the eldest son has a very good relationship with the fifth master of the Shen family, right?" Although she hadn't met him many times, Xie Yunyu knew very well that Gu Nanyan was very protective of Shen Bei'an and loved him very much.
I bet everyone in the capital knows that Fifth Master Shen is the apple of the eldest son's eye.
It's no secret that the couple has a harmonious relationship.
Although he didn't know why Xie Yunyu asked, Shen Juanqing nodded truthfully.
"So, does Young Master Shen still want to pursue me?" Xie Yunyu was quite satisfied with this and continued to ask.
This question startled Shen Juanqing, who was indeed pursuing Xie Yunyu. "Young Master Xie, I know you are not yet of age. Have I done something wrong to bother you?"
Shen Juanqing prided himself on doing the things of a virtuous gentleman, and although he pursued ideals, he never did anything excessive.
After all, Xie Yunyu was not yet twenty years old.
Xie Yunyu shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, no, what I mean is if the two of us really get together in the future, then wouldn't Young Master Chang be my aunt?" Her bright, starry eyes stared straight at Shen Juanqing.
Even the eldest son of the Shen family, known as the most talented calligrapher in the capital, stiffened a little when looked at like that by his beloved. "Theoretically, that is indeed the case."
Regardless of who marries whom, as long as his uncle and aunt do not divorce, then she will be Xie Yunyu's aunt.
Hearing Shen Juanqing's affirmative reply, Xie Yunyu's eyes deepened, and the corners of her mouth curved even wider. "Let's go, weren't we going to see a play?" she invited.
Three more years...
He looked at Shen Juanqing with some hesitation, "Can Young Master Shen hold on for three years?"
"If we talk and then break up, won't that give my benefactor a very bad impression?"
She is a minor now, which causes a lot of trouble.
Chen Juanqing was initially puzzled. What three years?
Then he immediately thought, "Three years is not a long time. If Young Master Xie is willing, we can take our time to get to know each other. After three years, when Young Master Xie comes of age, we can get our marriage certificate."
Tall and elegant, adorned with jingling jade pendants, he possessed the refined manners and graceful bearing of a noble young master.
"Then you... aren't breaking the law?" Xie Yunyu raised an eyebrow and curled her lips. In recent years, she had traveled all over the world and found that the Empire's laws were the strictest, especially in this regard.
Minors may not be a problem, but adults are subject to very strict control.
In addition, having a friend who is a lawyer gives me even more insight into this area.
“Not really,” Shen Juanqing shook her head slightly, smiling gently, her eyes clear and bright. “Such situations are common in the Empire. Besides, as long as we don’t do anything excessive, everything is fine.”
“Alright then,” Xie Yunyu nodded and handed her right hand to Shen Juanqing. “Then please guide me in the future, Young Master Shen Juanqing.”
Shen Juanqing seemed somewhat incredulous, yet her tone carried a hint of pleasure, "So, Young Master Xie has accepted me?"
Could it be that she only agreed because of her aunt?
Xie Yunyu smiled lightly, "More or less, so Young Master Shen, don't disappoint me." In truth, Shen Juanqing was indeed quite good, "but,"
His handsome face was slightly serious. "You know me pretty well, considering how long we've known each other. I don't like trouble, so if you have any romantic prospects, you'd better handle them yourself. As for my family... I'll introduce you to them another day. As for your family..."
The Shen family must be quite strict about this.
All accounts say there were no arranged marriages, but none of the Shen family members had any simple marriage partners.
Chen Juanqing spoke softly, his voice gentle yet firm, “Please rest assured, Young Master Xie, I will explain the situation when I return home tonight and will absolutely not cause you any trouble. As for the so-called ‘peach blossom’ you mentioned, that should also be the case.”
Xie Yunyu is currently very satisfied with both Shen Juanqing and Shen Juanqing.
Shen Bei'an over there had no idea that the couple he was shipping had already become a reality.
He and Gu Nanyan were originally planning to leave, but then they encountered a small incident on the way, which was probably the "drama" his nephew had mentioned earlier.
Ziya Jingmo stood beside Gu Nanyan with her hands covering her face, and twitched her lips, "Ziyan, are these young masters in the capital too idle? Or have I been in the research institute for too long and fallen behind the times?"
What era are we living in?!
It's fortunate that both of them are adults; if there were even a minor among them!
No one can leave tonight.
Even if they are all adults, this mess from tonight still needs to be thoroughly investigated.
And isn't this method of administering the drug too low-class?
Is the brain like the moon? Cratered and bumpy.
Is it still filled entirely with water?
Gu Nanyan held Shen Bei'an's hand in one hand, her expression unchanged. Her phoenix eyes seemed to be covered by a thin mist, making it impossible to discern her emotions. Her voice was somewhat hoarse and low, "If you can't handle this matter, have Boss Zhou contact that guy."
The aloof beauty showed no anger at being spoken to like that; she understood the saying, "One should know what one is good at but not what one is good at."
"Alright, then you and Fifth Master can leave first. I won't disturb your wonderful evening." Ziya Jingmo took a deep breath. She wanted to go back to the research institute now; she'd rather lose her hair and do crazy experiments there.
Hearing this, Shen Bei'an's cheeks flushed slightly. He reached out and pinched Gu Nan'an's waist. Gu Nan'an let him do as he pleased. "Tell Zhaojun when you've resolved this."
"Okay, I understand." With Shen Bei'an present, Zi Ya and Jing Mo also knew that some things couldn't be said too much.
The capital city is truly becoming more and more decadent.
Shen Bei'an tugged at Gu Nan'an's sleeve, "They've all surrounded them, are we just going to leave like this?"
Gossip is human nature, and that's absolutely true, especially among people in the Empire.
Almost everyone surrounded them.
Gu Nanyan held Shen Bei'an's hand, their fingers intertwined. "It's alright. If Boss Zhou can't handle it, there's the person behind him. She can handle it. The chaos here has nothing to do with us. Let's just go home." Her voice trailed off with a smile, clear and gentle.
It felt as if a feather was gently, softly tickling Shen Bei's heart.
It made his palms sweat.
The night was still dark and the banquet was not yet over. The two got into the car, and Meng Zhaojun skillfully opened the partition in front of them.
Upon returning to Biluo Xiaozhu, Meng Zhaojun simply said, "President, we've arrived."
Gu Nanyan picked up Shen Bei'an and carried him directly back to the room.
