Gu Nanyan pursed his lips. "Was it man-made? Hua Yueli once created an artificial meteor shower in Death Valley to confess her love to her husband. An'an, didn't you think you didn't want it anymore since someone had already done it?"
"Hua Yueli?! The one who caused a ruckus at Biluo Xiaozhu that day?!" Shen Bei'an couldn't control himself anymore.
That thing?
Her?
A man-made meteor shower to confess your love?!
How could he not believe that guy even had the brains to work?
Gu Nanyan nodded. Hua Yueli disliked Shen Bei'an, and Shen Bei'an had never given Hua Yueli a kind look either.
But Hua Yueli was aware of these things, so apart from that incident, she almost never did anything to make things difficult for her.
So An'an's reluctance to accept it at the time was probably related to this.
"She can be this romantic?" That guy doesn't seem like the type to be romantic at all. Muttering, "How did someone like that manage to get a husband?"
How could they even think of such a trick?
etc,
"Isn't she from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Where did she get the money?" Good heavens, she wouldn't do that!!!
The price of an artificial meteor shower…
Gu Nanyan took a deep breath, pulled Shen Bei'an back, and reached out to rub the top of his head. "Yue Li's mother's family is the richest in the Jiangnan area, so she is certainly not short of money."
Of course, that was before marriage.
Well, he still needs time to understand all the messy relationships in the capital; he still doesn't know much about them.
Shen Bei'an suddenly remembered Gu Nan'an's "wasteful" behavior, as well as the behavior of his nephew in the original book. He looked her up and down and asked, "Is everyone in your circle like this?"
This isn't just spending money, it's burning money!
Which young master in the capital is so extravagant?
Gu Nanyan remained noncommittal, only saying, "Nothing was done, it was just normal operation." She smiled.
"I've asked the housekeeper to prepare a beach barbecue tonight. As for the afternoon, we can change into our swimsuits and play in the sea or on the beach."
"Is it just the two of us?" Shen Bei'an raised an eyebrow.
“Of course, who else would An’an want to go with?” She raised her eyebrows, a smile playing on her lips.
Sunlight filtered through a few leaves, falling on her as a soft, swaying halo.
The clear sun shines brightly, and the gentle breeze is serene.
Shen Bei'an pounced on her, "Of course it's with my dear wife~" He wrapped his arms around her waist and tilted his head slightly.
"kindness."
"Oh right! Ah Yan, let's do a live stream! It seems like it's been over a month since I last did one." Shen Bei'an suddenly remembered something. Anyway, the content of his live streams was always very casual; he would just stream whatever came to mind, so doing a live stream of barbecue shouldn't be a problem.
Gu Nanyan replied almost without hesitation, "Okay, I'll have the housekeeper arrange it."
"The kind where you don't show your face," Shen Beian reminded him.
Actually, could this be considered his alternate identity?
If he shows his face, then everyone will know that Master Chen is live streaming.
Currently, only his close friends know about it.
"Okay, I'll have them choose the right camera." Gu Nanyan nodded. She had never missed her husband's live streams.
After saying that, he was about to get up and go find the steward.
"Wait a minute." If it were just the two of them, they would grill it themselves, but Shen Beian was very familiar with his own cooking skills.
Therefore, it must have been Gu Nanyan who made the move.
"Is there anything else, An'an?"
"Um, it's just the two of us barbecuing, so you're the one who's doing the barbecuing, right?" Shen Bei'an asked hesitantly, looking down at the very distinctive relic on Gu Nan'an's left wrist.
Under the Empire's lenses, which are now many times higher in resolution, those in the know will be able to tell the quality of this relic at a glance. Wouldn't its identity be obvious then?
Both of their wedding rings were seemingly simple platinum rings, designed by Gu Nanyan. However, they were relatively small, and there were quite a few wedding rings like this in the Empire.
So even though Shen Bei'an was carrying it the whole time, no one noticed.
Seemingly noticing Shen Bei'an's hesitation, Gu Nan'an leaned down and tapped the tip of his nose. "I'll have the housekeeper and the others come over to grill it. I won't appear on camera; I'll wait for you on the side, okay?"
“But then what about our time together…” Shen Bei’an asked again, “Why don’t we just forget about it and not do the live stream?” He shook his head.
“In that case, I’ll have to roast it myself. So I’ll have to trouble An’an to wear the relic for me for a while.” Gu Nan’an smiled. “Since An’an wants to do a live stream, I’ll do my best to help her.”
“That won’t work either.” Shen Bei’an shook his head. Many people watch his live stream, but who knows if any of those people from Beijing are among them? He doesn’t go out much, so probably not many people will recognize him.
But Gu Nanyan is different; there must be quite a few people who can recognize her.
This is so troublesome.
Gu Nanyan reached out and pulled Shen Bei'an into his arms. "An'an, you don't need to worry about so much. Since you want to do a live broadcast, I'll arrange for someone to do it. If you're worried about me being recognized, I won't appear on camera. We can have some alone time after the live broadcast. The butler and the others are all old members of the Gu family; they know what to do."
“I’ve had someone pitch a tent not far from the beach, so we can sleep there tonight.”
"Alright then." Shen Bei'an nodded in satisfaction. By the time he came to his senses, Gu Nan'an had already gone to make the arrangements.
He curled up on the sofa, hugging a doll and deep in thought.
When did he become so delicate?
It's a very simple thing; if you don't livestream it, there won't be any problems.
Or you could just have the housekeepers do the barbecuing.
But she insisted on dragging Gu Nanyan into this mess for so long.
In the end, it was still a live broadcast, and then the butler and the others had a barbecue, with Gu Nanyan not appearing on camera.
Is this what they mean by "spoiled people are unrestrained"?
Moreover, Gu Nanyan showed no impatience whatsoever throughout the entire process.
In the evening, Shen Bei'an, dressed in a simple beige crane-patterned outer shirt and matching trousers, went to a barbecue with Gu Nan'an.
The beach had already been decorated, making it almost indistinguishable from a beach barbecue in the First World.
But he couldn't find a light or any wires, even though it was brightly lit.
As for the grill, it didn't seem to contain charcoal. There was already something on the grill, but there was absolutely no smoke.
Everything needed for the live stream has also been prepared.
Hmm... there are still quite a few people busy.
"Isn't that charcoal on the grill?" Shen Beian asked in confusion. Barbecue is all about that feeling, eating meat and drinking alcohol in big gulps, and the feeling of being surrounded by smoke.
Gu Nanyan didn't seem surprised. "It's not carbon. Most of the barbecues in the Empire still use carbon or electricity, but for pilot sites like the capital, Xihua City, and Jinling, a kind of artificial energy is being used to replace carbon, just like it used to replace oil."
Shen Beian was surprised. He had never driven a car before and didn't care much about these things, so he was completely unaware of this.
As for his home, this was even more true. So in many cases, he only knew that the technology of this world seemed to surpass that of the First World, but he had no idea to what extent it had developed.
