Meeting those doting phoenix eyes, Shen Bei'an's anger vanished instantly, and she continued to nestle against Gu Nan'an's shoulder, saying, "It's good that you know."
He felt himself becoming increasingly attached to Gu Nanyan.
She pursed her lips softly, "Am I being too clingy? We're not little kids anymore. If I'm this clingy, won't I be interfering with your work?"
When they were young, Shen Beian was almost always clinging to Gu Nanyan, and the Shen family couldn't do anything about it.
She would start making a fuss as soon as she was half a meter away from Gu Nanyan, and even when she went to the bathroom, Gu Nanyan had to wait outside.
This is why Gu Nanyan often stayed at the Shen family's house when he was young.
"Of course not. It's my honor that An'an is willing to stick to me." Gu Nanyan raised his hand and gently stroked Shen Bei'an's hair. It was very soft and comfortable.
Hearing Gu Nanyan say this, Shen Beian smiled.
"An'an, you've been sleeping for almost the whole afternoon. I asked Aunt Wang to make a bowl of shrimp noodles. Would you like some?"
"Okay." I hadn't eaten almost anything all morning, so naturally I was hungry.
Gu Nanyan didn't go downstairs either; Aunt Wang brought him up directly via conveyor belt.
A bowl of delicious shrimp noodles was placed in front of the two of them, still steaming hot.
"You feed me, I'm too lazy to move," Shen Bei'an said, sitting on the bed and acting coquettishly.
Gu Nanyan sat by the bed and said, "Okay." Her face was full of doting affection, and she had no complaints.
"I don't want any more," Shen Bei'an said, waving his hand after eating only half of what he had eaten. He leaned against the headboard, picked up the bottle of water that Gu Nan'an had prepared for him earlier, and drank it in small sips with both hands.
"You can eat it."
Aunt Wang's bowl of shrimp noodles was very hearty.
Although Shen Beian is a young man who is over 1.8 meters tall, he doesn't eat much.
Not to mention that they had just been frightened and already had a poor appetite.
Gu Nanyan wanted to continue persuading her, but Shen Bei'an bent her legs, wrapped her arms around them, and looked at Gu Nanyan with her peach blossom eyes full of water. "I don't want to eat anymore. I want to eat lotus root starch and osmanthus cake."
Gu Nanyan stirred the noodles. "You only want to eat this?" He raised an eyebrow and finished it off in a few bites.
He placed the bowl aside, pressed a button, and the bowl was passed down.
Shen Beian reached out and grabbed Gu Nanyan's sleeve, her raven-feather-like eyelashes fluttering, "Hmm... there are also egg yolk pastries and chocolate lava cakes..."
Seemingly sensing that Gu Nanyan's surroundings were growing increasingly cold, Shen Beian stopped speaking and carefully grabbed Gu Nanyan's sleeve, shaking it.
"Yan Yan...please..." He pressed himself against her.
Gu Nanyan let out a long sigh of relief, raised his hand and rubbed the top of his head, "Okay, just this once. I'll tell Aunt Wang to make it, and add an extra portion of snow skin mooncakes."
"Yan Yan is the best!" Shen Bei'an was instantly happy.
Such a dramatic girl is so easy to please.
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanyan raised his hand and pinched Shen Bei'an's smooth little face, "So, An'an, are you saying that I was bad before?" His tone carried a hint of danger.
Shen Bei'an tilted her head back, letting Gu Nan'an pull her arm, "No way! Yan'an is always great."
After all, he still wants to eat dessert, so he can't act up now.
Master Shen said that he is still very good at judging the situation.
In the study
"My lord, the trail ends here." Feng You placed the tablet in front of Gu Nanyan and stood up straight.
Gu Nanyan sat behind the table, flipping through the documents, her eyes lowered, making it impossible to discern her emotions.
"Since we've given them a scapegoat, let's send them in and let the Spider Web people continue their investigation. If they want to play, then let's play along." He toyed with the relic in his hand.
"Yes." Feng You remained expressionless. "But what else do we need to do regarding Fuyun Island?"
Gu Nanyan seemed somewhat nonchalant, his sharp phoenix eyes as cold as ice, and the corners of his lips suddenly curled up, like a bewitching demon luring people into prison. "Thoroughly investigate all unauthorized extraditions of non-island citizens. Seize every place you find. Make the people you find pay for their own return. Don't forget the fines."
“Feng You understands.” Feng You lowered her head.
"Step down."
"yes."
"You've made them lose both their wife and their army."
After Feng You left, a figure suddenly appeared—a holographic image.
And clearly, she heard the whole thing.
Gu Nanyan put down the tablet and looked at the other documents without even lifting his eyelids. "They sent Fang Yun over. He should just be a nobody. Investigate him carefully. There should be a big fish behind him."
Hua Yueli frowned upon hearing the name, "Fang Yun?" she murmured.
"You know him?"
"That name sounds familiar. If I remember correctly, she was just transferred back from the Southeast this year. Let me check who she is working for." Hua Yueli had only been back in the country for a short time, but everyone in the capital remembered her, though they didn't know all the details.
A few days ago, that person even helped her get some nourishment.
"Uncle Hua must have worried a lot about you, right?" Gu Nanyan twirled the stylus in his hand, a hint of mockery in his voice.
Hua Yueli curled her lip and snorted, "If you're so capable, then come and see how long it takes our legendary eldest son."
"Fang Yun, on the surface you're working for the Eighth Madam of the Qin family. As for who you're actually working for, you can investigate that yourself."
"Qin Suiya's people!" Hua Yueli seemed to grit her teeth. "Of the nine junior councilors left in the council hall, the one I hate the most is this bitch. She's just like that socialite every day."
Qin Suiya, the eighth daughter of the Qin family patriarch, is only twenty-eight years old and has entered politics.
"What did I do to offend you?" Gu Nanyan asked curiously. It seemed that this eighth madam of the Qin family was no ordinary person, since she could make this arrogant person curse like that.
"That bitch, she actually tried to seduce Boss Zhou!" Hua Yueli in the holographic image looked like she wanted to kill someone. "I don't know where she got the guts? Comparing her family background, figure, and looks to mine, daring to seduce Boss Zhou, she's asking for death!"
"I wasn't even in the country at the time. If I hadn't placed someone near Boss Zhou, I wouldn't have known! Damn it, I know how seductive my Boss Zhou is, but I never imagined that bitch would seduce a married man! Have they no morals whatsoever? They have no sense of propriety or shame!"
He was cursing and swearing.
Although Gu Nanyan didn't stay at the Shouwu Research Institute and didn't go there often, he was well aware that Hua Yueli had arranged for someone to protect Zhou Zhi.
Of course, she wouldn't say anything more.
"You didn't do anything?" Gu Nanyan didn't join in Hua Yueli's scolding; instead, he continued to ask.
Hua Yueli followed up, quite arrogantly, "Nonsense, how could I do nothing? I had someone put a sack over her head, drag her into an alley, and beat her up. She was bedridden for half a month, which delayed things and got her scolded by the eldest son of the Sheng family. You have no idea what she was like back then. If someone hadn't pleaded for her, I don't know if she would have been able to keep her position as one of the ten minor councilors."
She looked up at Gu Nanyan and raised an eyebrow, clearly pleased with her actions.
