When Shen Beian accompanied Madam Shen back, Luo Peilan and Shen Juanqing had already left.
Gu Nanyan was still playing chess with Old Master Shen.
"Where are my sister-in-law and Qingqing?" Shen Bei'an looked around.
"He left a long time ago." Old Master Shen glanced at his youngest son and snorted arrogantly. "Alright, I know you didn't come back with anything good this time. Now that you've finished talking, hurry up and leave."
Shen Beian leaned closer to take a look at the chessboard. "Ha, I knew it! Old man, you're going to lose again! That's why you're kicking us out! Mom, you need to do something about him!"
He strode back to Madam Shen's side.
Madam Shen smiled and said, "Alright. It's not easy for you and Nan Yan to come back. Would you like to dine here tonight?"
Shen Bei'an nodded without hesitation, "Okay, I'm fine. What about you, A-Yan?" He looked at Gu Nan'an, who was tidying up the chessboard.
Gu Nanyan bowed slightly, "I'm afraid I can't stay with An'an. I still have some things to take care of."
"What's the matter?" Shen Bei'an asked subconsciously, his tone even a little sharp.
After he finished speaking, both Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen looked a little off.
Gu Nanyan acted as if nothing was wrong. "It's just some company business. We've almost had dinner. I'll come pick up An'an, okay?" His tone was still gentle, with a hint of negotiation.
"You said you wouldn't be busy anymore, so why are you still so busy?" He said with a hint of petulance, his peach blossom eyes half-closed, making it clear to anyone that he was in a bad mood.
Gu Nanyan stepped forward, wanting to take Shen Bei'an's hand. Shen Bei'an clenched her fist, but Gu Nanyan's slender yet strong fingers slipped inside, interlocking their fingers. "Naturally, it's for our honeymoon this summer."
She whispered soothingly to Shen Beian.
"But... but can't you even have just one dinner? You promised me you'd eat with me for all three meals from now on." Shen Bei'an turned her head away, not wanting to look at Gu Nan'an.
"It was my fault, so this will only happen once. There's a race later, how about I take An'an to see it?"
Although Shen Beian doesn't have high requirements for cars, he loves watching racing. The thrill of racing is something he dares not try but wants to pursue.
So after arriving here, he paid close attention to the fact that there would be a world-class race in Death Valley in Beijing some time later. He originally planned to invite his girlfriends from the Beijing F4 to go, but it seemed that the other three were busy.
He didn't know how to arrange it yet.
Now that Gu Nanyan said that, he has someone to keep him company.
"I don't believe you. Who knows if you'll be too busy to listen to me again and leave me hanging?" Shen Bei'an pouted, still somewhat dissatisfied.
But his face seemed to say: I'm angry, I need to be coaxed! You better come and coax me!
"No, on that day, I'll personally make some desserts and snacks for An'an, okay?" She gently touched his hand with her fingers, as if to comfort him.
"Really!" Upon hearing this, her previously somewhat dim peach blossom eyes instantly sparkled with starlight.
Aunt Wang's desserts are indeed very delicious; he has tried many desserts from various dessert shops.
But for some reason, I always felt that Gu Nanyan's cooking was the best.
But Gu Nanyan is so busy that he has no time to make it for him, not to mention that his desserts and snacks are still under control.
"Of course it's true, and tonight, An'an is allowed to have a dessert after dinner, okay?" Gu Nanyan's phoenix eyes were like clear springs, and the gentle smile at the corner of his mouth was as tender as flowing water, making people unable to help but fall into it.
Because of that toothache, Shen Bei'an stopped having desserts after meals, and everyone in her family knew that.
For the sake of Shen Bei'an's teeth, everyone around him agreed with Gu Nan'an's approach, which meant that Shen Bei'an really didn't get to eat any desserts.
After coaxing her gently for a while, Fifth Master Shen finally relented, "Alright, then remember to come pick me up." He stepped forward, wrapped his arms around Gu Nanyan's waist, and rubbed his head against her shoulder.
Once again, it's confirmed that his wife is indeed taller than him.
"Yes, definitely." He said, then lowered his head and kissed the top of Shen Wuye's head.
Gu Nanyan bowed and said goodbye.
Old Master Shen rubbed his forehead and pinched his brows. "Your temperament!" He had never seen a young master act so pretentiously towards his lover in front of his parents after marriage.
Shen Bei'an plopped down on the sofa, picked up a fork and started stabbing at the fruit in the fruit bowl, acting very spoiled. "Ah Yan is willing to pamper me, old man, you shouldn't be envious."
Old Madam Shen sat down next to Shen Bei'an. "An'er, you're a married man. You should give Nan'an some face in front of us." Only they knew what kind of person their son was, and they were also familiar with Gu Nan'an's personality.
Otherwise, if she were in another family, who knows how they would talk about Gu Nanyan as their daughter-in-law.
"Don't act like this in front of your parents-in-law." They know a fair bit about what the Gu family is like.
"Mom~" Shen Beian switched to a different fork, picked up a piece of cantaloupe, and held it to Madam Shen's lips. "I know, and besides, they already know what kind of person I am. What does it matter what they think of me? As long as Ayan is willing, what's wrong with that? Besides, when Ayan really has enough of me, we can just get a divorce."
Shen Bei'an was telling the truth, although he would definitely be upset if Gu Nan'an really proposed a divorce.
But that's just his personality; it's something Gu Nanyan spoiled him with.
No one in this world is indispensable.
Old Master Shen's tone was unusually serious, "Yuan Jie!"
Yuan Jie is Shen Bei'an's courtesy name, derived from "Yuan Qing Yu Jie," meaning as clear as a deep pool and as pure as jade. It is a metaphor for a person of noble character. This was given by Old Master Shen, reflecting his high hopes for Shen Bei'an.
But after this title was given, almost no one ever used it.
