Gu Nanyan felt the warmth coming from her hands, and when she looked down, she saw Shen Bei'an holding her hands in both of his, bending over slightly as if he was breathing on her.
And then I heard those caring words again.
In an instant, the icy chill around her melted away with the warmth. Her phoenix eyes were clear and soft as she embraced Shen Bei'an, burying her head in his shoulder, as light as a feather. "An'an, thank you."
Thank you for being by my side.
I am indifferent to all things in the world, seeing them as nothing but black and white.
Because of you, I have found meaning in living in this boring world.
Shen Beian, not understanding why, still wrapped his arms around Gu Nanyan's slender waist.
It's unclear how long the two had been embracing, but a blinding white light flashed by.
"I know you two are a loving couple, but the three of us are having a competition. Can't you show us some respect?" Fu Muqian drove up to them and rolled his eyes.
Before Gu Nanyan could speak, Shen Beian smiled at Fu Muqian in a friendly manner, "Is that so? Indeed, what Young Master Fu said is true. It is everyone's responsibility to protect dogs."
They almost kissed!
What a disappointment!
Fu Muqian: ...Is this a complete disregard for human beings?
"Pfft, hahaha," Lu Ming walked over unnoticed, "I shouldn't call you Li Taibai anymore, I should call you Woof Woof. You're the same breed as a dog now."
"It's late at night, leaving Madam alone in her room, while Young Master Lu is having a good time outside," Shen Bei'an said, turning his head. Although he sometimes called Gu Nan'an "you dog," it was just a little joke between husband and wife.
It's one thing for them to shout like that normally, but how could he let them shout like that in front of him?
Lu Ming blinked in confusion. What was going on?
Looking at Fu Muqian, he thought, "He just came over to make a few sarcastic remarks to Taibai and watch the show, how did the battlefield end up on him?"
"Brother-in-law, you're joking. Linlin went to bed early, and besides, she plans to attend the press conference with Fu Jiu on Saturday. Of course, I wouldn't disobey Linlin." Lu Ming instantly put on a gentle and natural official smile.
Shen Bei'an is someone you really can't afford to offend.
Putting aside the fact that there's that bastard around, there's his wife's place.
They're really not to be trifled with.
So why was Master Shen angry just now?
"So, I should praise Young Master Lu on behalf of Little Yezi?" Shen Bei'an snorted coldly.
Anyway, whether it's white or black, he's going to turn into ashes today!
"This...this is not necessary. It's what I should do." Lu Ming had heard about Shen Bei'an from his wife.
Master Shen Wu studied Taoism and was very skilled in Yin-Yang techniques.
Of course, he was second only to them. Among those people, please refer to his ungrateful cousin.
"Young Master Lu just called Young Master Fu 'Li Taibai' and A Yan 'dog thing,' so what is Young Master Lu called?" Shen Bei'an asked casually.
Gu Nanyan stood beside Shen Bei'an with a smile on her lips, knowing that her husband was standing up for her. In fact, they didn't care much about these titles.
However, when speaking to outsiders, they usually add the character "子" before the last character of their name as a sign of respect.
There were only a few of them there now, and her husband was naturally not an outsider, so they all called him that too.
Fu Muqian's opinion of Shen Beian has completely changed after tonight.
Lu Ming immediately understood and repeatedly bowed, "It was Erlang Shen's fault, please forgive me, brother-in-law."
In one sentence, he both answered Shen Beian's question and admitted his own faults.
Shen Beian then gave a light snort, "Get up, Second Young Master Lu, so you won't say I bullied you." Knowing when to stop, he changed the subject, "Who won just now?"
Where is that beauty who bloomed like a fleeting flower?
"I won the race and was the first to finish ten laps." Her voice was clear and bright, and the beautiful woman walked over with graceful steps, captivating the hearts of all.
Shen Bei'an stared at Yu Ci, his eyes wide with disbelief.
What the heck?
“Indeed,” Fu Muqian nodded, knowing it was normal for Shen Bei’an not to believe him. “Zi Ci was indeed the first to finish ten laps and win the race. I’ll have someone deliver the land deed to him another day.”
“Me too.” Lu Ming straightened up and replied to Fu Muqian.
Yu Ci stood up straight, her graceful figure radiating a charming smile. "It's alright, there's no rush. The test drive is over, and I see someone over there preparing a pot. Would you like to go and use some?"
Having a late-night snack occasionally is fine.
"You had this prepared?" Shen Bei'an turned to look at Gu Nan'an. Surely his wife must have had time to arrange these things.
“Hmm,” Gu Nanyan nodded, “It’s nice to have a late-night snack at this time of year. We had someone prepare a pot, but we didn’t prepare too many ingredients, so we can use some.”
Shen Bei'an no longer has the habit of not eating late-night snacks, while Gu Nan'an usually doesn't eat anything after eight o'clock, but he can still have a late-night snack occasionally.
The other three also share similar habits with Gu Nanyan.
However, the game I just played used up a lot of energy, so I need to replenish it.
"Okay, let's go then~" Shen Bei'an was also craving hot pot. He had originally planned to ask Aunt Wang to prepare some ingredients and invite Sister Tian and Xiao Yezi to Xiaozhu to have some.
None of the five of them have a strong palate, so they opted for a clear broth hot pot, made their own dipping sauce, and ate the hot pot.
The three men went to the restroom, leaving only the two women to enjoy the breeze.
After Shen Bei'an left, Gu Nan'an stopped putting on airs and casually leaned against the car, adjusting his glasses. "Zi Ci, what are you planning to do?"
I looked at this classical beauty with bright eyes and white teeth.
“Heaven’s sins may be forgiven, but man’s sins are unforgivable.” Her red lips parted slightly. “Ziyan, you need not worry about me.”
She knew that there were some things they dared not do so drastically because they were considering her feelings.
"Some things should come to an end." She looked up at the sky. The autumn colors were bleak, and the night was cool as water. Above the night sky, stars twinkled and silver light fell, and everything was full of vitality.
"As long as you don't delay Zili's affairs, it's not worth it," Yu Ci continued. "It's not just him, but also... I've been running away for long enough."
"Please cover for me, especially Zixi. His health is already poor, and he still has to worry about me. Besides, he's my junior. He's been through so much for me all these years."
The dim light illuminated her stunning face; her brows were relaxed, and her eyes were filled with joy.
“What trouble is that?” Gu Nanyan snorted coldly. “Those messes from four years ago should have been resolved long ago. If I hadn’t…” He raised his eyes, a storm brewing within them, “I would have disappeared into the annals of history just like that family.”
At that time, she was still being punished.
When she came out, the others had already taken Zi Ci back to the capital and done some things.
She initially intended to finish the job, but then she realized that Zi Ci wasn't completely finished, so she didn't do anything more.
Yu Ci smiled gently and reached out to hug Gu Nanyan. "Ziyan, it's so good to have you all here."
