Hua Yueli: What kind of thing is this?!
The dignified Fifth Master of the Shen family is practically begging to be addressed as "Mr. Gu"!
Over there, Shen Bei'an continued, "Speaking of which, I should have been the one to oversee the construction of this Biluo Xiaozhu. But Ah Yan was worried about me and didn't want me to get tired, so he troubled Young Master Hua instead."
With her hands crossed and her chin resting on the back of her hands, her peach blossom eyes tilted upwards, she said, "However, Ah Yan has always been generous to his friends, and this little house occupies quite a lot of space, so it's only natural to reserve a room for Young Master Hua."
Suddenly, "Ouch!"
Looking at Hua Yueli's clothes, which were still from yesterday and were a bit wrinkled, one might say, "Why is Young Master Hua still wearing last night's clothes? Look at this Suzhou embroidery of a nine-tailed fox, it's been crushed into a Samoyed! What's wrong with Ayan? Why didn't you prepare a change of clothes for Young Master Hua?"
Shen Beian spoke with increasing enthusiasm, "After all, I am the master of this Biluo Xiaozhu, and Ayan's clothes... are not right either." He looked Hua Yueli up and down.
Hua Yueli's figure is naturally excellent, and her height is over 1.7 meters, but she is definitely less than 1.8 meters tall by sight.
His wife is definitely taller than 1.83 meters!
He's at least 1.85 meters tall.
He was measured barefoot; he was 1.85 meters tall.
The night before last, he clearly saw that his wife was taller than him.
What kind of rubbish is this original work? It's utter nonsense!
“Ah Yan is much taller than you, so these clothes definitely won’t fit you. I’ll ask Aunt Wang to look around and see if there are any clothes that would suit Young Master Hua.”
Seize the initiative.
Hua Yueli was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe.
Gu Nanyan was much taller than her since she was a child.
The claim of being one-quarter mixed-race is no joke; although he has black hair and black eyes, it's estimated that all of his genes were passed down to his height.
At 1.76 meters tall, she wasn't particularly tall among the young men of the capital, but she was certainly not short either.
But when it comes to Gu Nanyan, his height is truly something else.
“No need for Mr. Gu to trouble himself,” he said through gritted teeth. “It’s getting late, and A-Yan will be back soon. I’ll leave with A-Yan in a bit to discuss some private matters. If you’re bored, Mr. Gu can find Young Master Fu and the others to have some fun.”
How could Ah Yan put up with this drama queen?
Shen Beian continued eating his steamed buns. Why get so worked up over this?
I'm the one who's angry.
Just as the two were resting and giving each other the cold shoulder, Gu Nanyan returned.
"Ah Yan!" Two voices, slightly surprised, rang out simultaneously, and Gu Nan Yan received two pairs of gazes.
"I'll go upstairs to shower and change first. An'an, eat slowly, no rush." She didn't even glance at Young Master Hua.
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Shen Bei'an felt even more pleased.
(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~
I thought she was a love rival.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. The child is already three years old, how could he possibly be a rival in love?
Moreover, this person even claimed to be Ah Yan's good friend.
That's it?
Ah Yan didn't even bother to acknowledge him.
Eating xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) became even more enjoyable.
If this is like a gentle spring breeze, then the other half of the dining table signifies the approaching harsh winter.
Hua Yueli's face darkened, and her gaze toward Shen Bei'an grew increasingly hostile.
Shen Beian didn't take it seriously at first, but no one can stand having such a sinister gaze fixed on them during a meal.
"If Young Master Hua is still hungry, he can have some more. We can't possibly let our guests leave hungry," the doctor kindly reminded him.
Hua Yueli scoffed lightly, "Then there's no need. It's best not to eat too much for breakfast. Mr. Gu should also pay attention to his diet and take care of his health." Her voice had a hint of melancholy, and Shen Beian couldn't quite understand what she meant.
They simply took Hua Yueli's sarcastic remarks as odd.
“However, judging from Young Master Hua’s tone just now, I thought Young Master Hua and A-Yan had a very good relationship. Why didn’t A-Yan even greet Young Master Hua? My A-Yan is not such a rude person. Could it be that Young Master Hua did something that A-Yan found unacceptable?” Shen Beian continued.
He swore that those words just slipped out in a moment of inspiration.
Unexpectedly, Hua Yueli's expression changed instantly, and her tone became much more gloomy, "Isn't all of this because of you, Fifth Master Shen?"
Before she could continue speaking, before Shen Beian could react.
Gu Nanyan had already come down, her black wolf tail half-dry, with a few strands kissing her fair neck tightly. It was rare that she wasn't wearing her glasses.
His dark eyes were as deep and unfathomable as a cold pool, and the crimson tear mole at the corner of his left eye had a somewhat eerie quality.
He faced Hua Yueli directly.
"Ziyan..." Hua Yueli's face instantly turned pale, and her voice became much weaker.
"Ah Yan!" Instead, Shen Bei'an hopped to Gu Nan'an's side in a few quick steps, and Gu Nan'an reached out to catch him.
Those eyes, as cold as ice, melted at a visible speed, gradually turning into a pool of autumn water, filled with deep affection.
"Be careful, you're wearing slippers, so you won't slip." Saying this, she led Shen Beian to the dining table.
Shen Bei'an chuckled and stuck out her tongue. "Isn't it because of you? I believe A-Yan would never let me fall, right?" Her peach blossom eyes were alluring, and the two dark-colored rooms were filled with the same person, completely filled with her.
Gu Nanyan raised his hand and ruffled the top of his head; it was soft and felt very comfortable.
"Of course, with me here, how could I let An'an get hurt?"
Shen Beian gave Hua Yueli a provocative smile, but found that Hua Yueli was sitting there as if she were encased in stone, not moving at all.
She tugged at Gu Nanyan's sleeve, "Ayan, what's wrong with Young Master Hua?" He was fine just now.
Is it just because Ah Yan neglected her?
That doesn't make sense either. Judging from how he acted last night, this young master Hua must be quite shameless.
While it may not be as massive as the Great Wall, it's at least comparable to a grapefruit peel coming for revenge, right?
"Nothing, she's probably thinking about something. She's busy." Gu Nanyan peeled an egg with his long, slender, white fingers, then turned to look at her. "You've already had breakfast, aren't you leaving?"
His voice was flat, as if he were speaking to a stranger.
Honestly, Shen Bei'an had never heard Gu Nan'an speak in such a tone before.
That kind of indifference—if Gu Nanyan spoke to him like that, Shen Bei'an could hardly imagine how painful it would be for him.
Although he knew that Hua Yueli and Gu Nanyan definitely did not have an improper relationship, based on what Hua Yueli said and the attitudes of Aunt Wang and Uncle Chen towards Hua Yueli.
He also knew that, at the very least, his wife and Hua Yueli must have had a very good relationship before.
I just don't know why it turned out this way.
“Ayan…I…” Hua Yueli bit her lip.
"We'll talk about it another day." Gu Nanyan placed the egg on a small plate and handed it to Shen Bei'an. Shen Bei'an didn't make a fuss, or rather, he was too intimidated by the atmosphere to do so. He picked up the egg and ate it in small bites.
Hua Yueli scoffed at herself, "Another day? Ha..." She looked up at Gu Nanyan, "Is there really another day?"
Gu Nanyan did not reply for a long time.
Hua Yueli took a deep breath, stood up and bowed, "I won't nag any longer, I'll take my leave." She turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
