"No need. When we go out to play together, not to mention our work, what about leaving behind Master Shen, Madam Sheng, Madam Ye, and Young Master Xie who is busy with his studies?" Zhou Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at Fu Muqian.
That condescending gaze, tinged with disdain.
Ziya Jingmo smiled and said, "It's convenient for single people, but not so convenient for those with partners." She leaned back in her rattan chair with a lazy expression.
Upon hearing Ziya Jingmo's words, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Fu Muqian turned his head almost stiffly to look at Ziya Jingmo, a smile with eight teeth showing, which for some reason was somewhat sinister and frightening. "What, does Young Master Ziya have a partner or are you already married and have successfully entered the ranks of married people?"
We're all single, what's with all the arrogance here?
“Hey, Taibai, you can’t say that,” Jiang Yuzhu smiled and gestured with her chin toward Wei Shengxi. “They have a verbal engagement, unlike you, who’s been single since birth.”
Not many people in the capital knew about the verbal marriage agreement between the Ziya family and the Weisheng family, but these few were all aware of it.
They would also occasionally bring it up to tease these two.
"Embroiderer, don't talk nonsense. I've devoted all my energy and time to He Shou Wu, haven't I, Young Master?" Zi Ya Jing Mo gritted her teeth and stared intently at Gu Nan Yan.
Damn it, what the hell is this?
They've started researching Huanmeng, pouring who knows how much money and effort into it.
But then this dog got all crazy again and stopped working on it, instead going to work on the sixth generation of cell repair devices!
“Yes!” Hua Yueli said with a face full of resentment. “Are you even capable, Gu Nanyan? You just finished the fifth generation. Can’t you let people rest? Why are you in such a hurry? The fifth generation hasn’t been fully popularized yet. What’s your rush?”
Her husband is also at the Polygonum multiflorum research institute, and he's incredibly busy every day.
"Oh, the eldest son has incurred public wrath, hasn't he?" Ji Lüqi, always eager for drama, slowly sipped her tea.
Excellent, this tea ceremony was exceptionally good.
Gu Nanyan remained unhurried. "Medical research is endless, and besides, I think Zizhi and Zimo are having a good time at the research institute, right?"
The benefits at the Polygonum multiflorum Research Institute are renowned worldwide. Many researchers even live at the institute and are unwilling to spend extra time traveling.
"How can that be the same?!" Hua Yueli, as an indirect victim, was even angrier than Zhou Zhi and Ziya Jingmo, the two direct victims, since this directly affected her interests.
"Zizhi and Zimo haven't even said a word yet, what are you saying, huh?" Gu Nanyan looked at her with a death stare.
Hua Yueli: That bastard! (Glare at her?!)
She approached her husband with a pitiful expression, tugging at Zhou Zhi's sleeve with small, subtle movements.
Zhou Zhi was somewhat helpless. After all, she was his wife. "Alright, I'll be more careful in the future and won't come home too late, okay?" He reached out and placed his hand on Hua Yueli's hand.
Hua Yueli was the type to take advantage of any opportunity and clung to Zhou Zhi. Zhou Zhi simply smiled and did nothing.
Ziya Jingmo looked at Hua Yueli with a gloomy expression, "You're here to cause trouble, aren't you?" This arrogant brat, she really takes advantage of any slight. Just because her husband is here doesn't mean she's any better.
Hua Yueli showed her with her actions that yes, she was remarkable.
“However, there’s really no need to rush.” Gu Nanyan said to the two of them, “We can set aside some time to focus on Zixi’s health. If you’re willing, Zixi, you can go there often.”
She herself had learned some medical skills, but she really didn't understand things like Wei Shengxi.
I've tried all sorts of cell repair devices, medical equipment, and medicinal herbs, but my health just won't improve.
She had seen Wei Shengxi's physical report; he had some genetic defects, but the cell repair device was designed to cure these. Many people had tried it, and it could even cure some cancer cells.
But it seemed to have no effect on Wei Shengxi at all.
Therefore, she still hopes that Wei Shengxi can go to Shouwu to see what's going on and come up with a suitable treatment plan for him.
Of course, this all requires Wei Shengxi's consent.
Her face, as graceful as a startled swan and as elegant as a swimming dragon, was flawless. "No, I don't think so. My body is too weak..." Her fox-like eyes held a thousand stars, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, carrying a smile.
But to others, it was a tragic sight.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Fu Muqian was the first to speak, his voice icy cold. "Do you really believe the lies of those guys at Dengyinglou? I'm going to shut down that lousy gambling den right now! What kind of scum dares to run a gambling den like that? Do they have a death wish?"
"It's over." After returning home that time, Gu Nanyan learned about this and immediately shut down the gambling game. The person behind him was also removed from the stage.
"Tell Uncle Weisheng that I'll pay him a visit in a few days," she continued. "Since everyone's free today, and Xiaozhu has a complete set of medical equipment, let's take a look." As she spoke, she stood up and looked at Weishengxi.
“Yes,” Ziya Jingmo also said, “The best medical equipment in the world is all here at Xiaozhu. Let’s go, let’s go take a look.”
She stood up with Gu Nanyan.
Eleven people got up one after another, leaving only Wei Shengxi still sitting.
Fu Muqian leaned over and tried to pull him up, "Come on, it's rare to have time, let me give you a good check-up. We may not be able to meet again until we're a hundred, but we can still meet when we're in our eighties, right?"
Wei Shengxi looked up at him and them.
Just then, sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating them.
It illuminated his heart, making him feel tingly and numb.
He couldn't help but smile, a very faint smile, as light as a feather, silent and delicate, yet as vibrant as a bright summer day, intoxicating to the soul.
"good."
——
"I've decided, I'm going to hold your birthday banquet at Yue Ting Nan House!" As soon as Shen Bei'an got home, she threw herself into Gu Nan'an's arms and announced her decision.
Gu Nanyan was not surprised at all. "Alright, then I'll trouble you, my husband."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely make you satisfied!" Shen Bei'an was now confident. There was still almost a month left, and this was the first time he had arranged a banquet.
"Of course, I trust An'an's arrangements." With Uncle Chen and Aunt Wang behind the scenes, Gu Nan'an didn't care about the birthday banquet; as long as Shen Bei'an was happy, that was all that mattered.
"Of course, there's also your birthday present." Shen Bei'an chuckled. "We'll have Zhaojun... wait, Zhaojun's free, right?"
“Hmm,” Gu Nanyan instantly understood Shen Bei’an’s meaning, “I’ll have Zhaojun clean and arrange the villa in Yueting Nanshe in advance, so that An’an can make arrangements when she goes there.”
"Mmm!" Shen Beian was ready to show off his skills!
