Master Shen was full of fighting spirit, like a newborn calf or the rising sun.
"No, it'll be about the same size as the brocade pouch from Fu Liu's wedding, and I'll make you a different kind, quality and quantity guaranteed, okay?" Gu Nanyan smiled and agreed.
Thinking back to that brocade pouch, it's quite something.
"That brocade pouch seems quite small, but it holds a lot. Could it be some kind of advanced technology?" Shen Beian thought of something and quietly leaned closer. "Is it some kind of supernatural space like the Sumeru-Symbol Space in fantasy novels?"
Gu Nanyan's eyelids twitched, speechless at her husband's wild imagination once again.
"An'an, although the Empire's technology is advanced, reality is reality, not fantasy. The Sumeru-Nanjie space is just an imagined thing. We don't know what the future holds, but at least it cannot be realized now."
Indeed, some people are researching this, and if they can truly figure it out, there's no need to say more.
"Oh, oh, oh." Shen Beian was a little embarrassed, reaching out to hold the honey grapefruit water and taking small sips.
It turns out it hasn't reached that stage of development yet.
"But how can it hold so much?"
"Actually, I didn't pack much, and the pastries weren't very big, and there were quite a lot of different kinds. It's just that they were arranged properly, so it looked like I packed a lot."
It's a compressed type of pastry, so it often takes quite a while to eat one piece. You also need to drink water with it, which makes it slow to eat and gives the impression that there's a lot in it.
"Well... alright. But even so, you can't stop pretending." Although Master Shen was somewhat disappointed, he didn't forget to try again.
“A suitable amount.” Gu Nanyan did not yield an inch.
"Alright, alright." Shen Bei'an never argued with Gu Nan'an on matters like this.
Fifth Master, who had been full of fighting spirit just moments before, instantly lost his temper.
After having breakfast, Gu Nanyan handed the prepared robe to Shen Beian and prepared to go to work.
"Wait a minute, I'll come too!" Shen Bei'an said to Gu Nan'an, who was about to leave the room, as he was now quite adept at putting on these clothes.
Gu Nanyan had just received a message from Meng Zhaojun: "An'an, there's nothing fun at the company."
"Anyway, I'm going." Shen Bei'an said, buttoning his shirt while looking at Gu Nan'an. "What, is there something shady going on in your company that I can't go to?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Don't talk like that," Gu Nanyan walked over and fastened his buttons and belt. "You can go wherever you want, as long as you don't find it boring."
"Why don't you just get me some fun stuff in your office? You could just put VR glasses or something in your office break room."
Master Shen didn't think there was anything wrong with having game consoles or similar items in his workplace.
He also mentioned that it was kept in the lounge.
Gu Nanyan seemed to be deep in thought. "An'an is right. I'll arrange for Zhaojun to do it right away. Cangqiong has a MOBA VR game called Nine Songs' Farewell. Is that okay?"
Shen Beian hugged Gu Nanyan's waist tightly, "Of course!" There's a room in the house filled with figurines of the heroes from Nine Songs of the Fallen and millet.
"Alright, I know you're excited. Loosen your belt for a moment, and I'll tie it for you. Which sachet do you want to wear today?" He opened the bedside table, which was filled with various sachets, and there were some spices on the other side.
Shen Beian pointed to one at random, "The one with the sky blue brocade auspicious cloud pattern. As for the spices, pair it with the first one in the third row. I made it a while ago and added some mosquito repellent and insect repellent."
Gu Nanyan took the small bag, placed it in the sachet, and sniffed it. "It's really nice." He then lowered his head and tucked it into his waistband.
"You shouldn't wear one either!" Shen Bei'an noticed that Gu Nan'an only had a dark jade pendant on his waist, and he also had one on his waist.
It's definitely their token of love.
“It’s autumn now, so there are a lot of insects.” Shen Beian realized that the environment of the empire was really good, with a very complete natural system. Even in a world-class metropolis like the capital, with such advanced technology, the environment was still very beautiful.
He has been here for so long and has hardly ever seen smog; the air quality index has always been "excellent."
"Okay." Gu Nanyan did not refuse.
Upon arriving at the company, Shen Beian went to the lounge and saw the familiar VR gaming area. She looked at Gu Nanyan in surprise and asked, "Were you prepared all along?"
There's also a game room at home, featuring not only games from Cangqiong but also games from other game companies. Whether he plays them or not, Gu Nanyan has prepared them for him.
Gu Nanyan stepped forward to help Shen Bei'an take off her outer robe. "Of course, you were quite bored last time you came, so I prepared these to prevent my An'an from getting bored again. I asked Aunt Wang to make some desserts, and she will have them delivered in a little while. Lin Cheng will also bring over some fruit to keep you company. If you have any requests, just ask him."
He hung up his outer robe, saying this.
Lin Cheng...
This name sounds familiar.
Shen Beian remembered that this was the last time he came to the company, he wanted to eat dessert, but this person threatened him instead.
"Hmm...no, that would be too much to listen to you." Shen Bei'an refused. "Why don't you just let Yan Wu and Yan Yin come in and play with me?"
He believed that Gu Nanyan's two subordinates, whether they were called "death squad members" or bodyguards, should all be capable of such things.
He reads novels about ancient assassins and secret guards who seem to know everything, like they're omnipotent.
Gu Nanyan knew a little about what happened that time. "Lin Cheng was just doing what I told him to do. Did I tell him to do it this way, or do you think you can eat more desserts, An'an?"
He pressed forward and pinned Shen Beian down on the sofa in the lounge.
Shen Beian wrapped her arms around Gu Nanyan's neck and said coquettishly, "Oh, I know~ Yan Wu and Yan Yin listen to you, don't they?"
Shen Bei'an was strictly controlled when it came to sweets.
"So what?" Gu Nanyan retorted. "Yan Wu and Yan Yin have never played Nine Songs of Death before. Even if they pick it up quickly, they are too stiff and not as good as Lin Cheng."
"Don't worry, he won't tell me anything except about desserts." This reassured Shen Bei'an.
“Alright…” Shen Beian nodded in agreement helplessly, “But is Lin Cheng really that free?”
Both are Gu Nanyan's assistants, but Meng Zhaojun is always busy, while Lin Cheng is so leisurely.
“No,” Gu Nanyan lowered his head and gently kissed Shen Bei’an’s lips. “I have quite a few assistants, but the others are all in charge of company affairs. Only Zhaojun is special; she’s someone I brought from the Gu family. Lin Cheng’s main job is to deal with people who come looking for me.”
"And among all these people, An'an, you are the most important."
It was just an ordinary sentence, but Shen Bei'an's face turned bright red from being teased.
"Oh dear! Can you please stop with all the sweet talk?" Shen Bei'an now deeply regretted not having memorized more poems back then.
Gu Nanyan stood up. "I didn't say anything romantic. I just told the truth. I couldn't help myself." He ruffled Chen Bei'an's hair and left.
Me?! And you still say you can't do it?!
