"Willow smoke returns to Yan Wuying" is a motto written by Gu Nanyan for the twelve people's teacher.
Like willow catkins or smoke, they have nowhere to go, disappearing without a trace.
No one could guess what she was thinking; it was too deep, and even she herself was probably exhausted by it.
This fleetingly beautiful woman eventually accepted her friend's advice.
"An'an, wait here for a moment. Ziqian, please look after An'an for me. I'll take Zici and be right back." Gu Nanyan put his hand down from Yuci's shoulder.
Although Shen Bei'an didn't know what his wife was going to do, he knew about the things between their friends, and it wouldn't be good for him to get involved.
Fu Muqian responded, "Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of you."
Gu Nanyan left with Yu Ci, and Shen Beian lost interest in continuing to enjoy the food.
"No need, Young Master Fu, I can eat by myself." Shen Bei'an didn't expect Fu Muqian to actually grill meat for him. Fu Muqian was busy preparing food for three people, yet he still managed to do it with ease.
"That won't do. Since I promised Ziyan, I will definitely do my best. Fifth Master Shen, you don't need to worry about it." With that, Fu Muqian placed the two pieces of meat into Shen Bei'an's and Wei Shengxi's plates respectively.
Wei Shengxi raised her chin, gesturing for Fu Muqian to wrap it up for her. Fu Muqian was not angry and skillfully wrapped it up and handed it to Wei Shengxi. Wei Shengxi accepted it very familiarly. "Ziqian has been taking care of me for a long time. Fifth Master Shen, you don't need to think anything of it." Her soft voice entered Shen Bei'an's ears.
The sound is soothing and pleasant to listen to.
Shen Beian didn't refuse anymore, so it seems that Fu Muqian, the second male lead in the original book, wasn't such a bad character after all.

“Zi… Zi Yan…” Upon entering another room, Yu Ci trembled all over. She knew perfectly well what was behind the screen with floral and bird patterns.
Gu Nanyan, unlike his usual aloof self, casually played with the relic on his left wrist, his expression indifferent, his phoenix eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses relaxed and languid.
“When this place was being built, I said that the soundproofing had to be excellent,” she said calmly. “I’ll wait for you here. You can use whatever you need in the back. There’s a fourth-generation cell repair device next to me.”
Yu Ci never expected that Gu Nanyan would even bring over a cell repair device!
Gu Nanyan knew this would be difficult for Yu Ci.
But since she's already decided to take this step, she doesn't mind giving her a push.
——
Shen Bei'an didn't know what happened next. He only knew that when he returned, only Gu Nan'an was there; Yu Ci hadn't come back.
And they didn't ask any more questions.
The meal was finished just like that.
On the way back, Meng Zhaojun drove again, with Shen Bei'an and Gu Nan'an sitting in the back. There was a partition between them, and the space in the back was quite large. Moreover, the soundproofing panel was truly soundproof.
Both windows were covered up. As soon as Shen Beian got into the car, he pressed a button and turned on the rear lights.
It felt somewhat like a joint trial.
Moonlit Beauty is in the city center, while Azure Pavilion is in the suburbs.
The hovercar route from the city center to the suburbs has been built, so they are now riding in hovercars.
"What exactly happened?" Shen Bei'an came aggressively, shoving Gu Nan'an onto the car seat, straddling her waist, and grabbing her collar.
Gu Nanyan leaned back slightly, letting Shen Bei'an pull out a hairband from somewhere and tie her hands high to the car. She even said calmly, "An'an, could you please adjust my glasses?"
Shen Beian pouted and reached out to take off her glasses. The gold-rimmed glasses, inlaid with natural gemstones, fell to the ground, where a fine wool felt covered the floor, making no sound at all.
"Be honest, tell me quickly, what exactly happened? Why didn't Yu Ci come back? And what exactly happened to Yu Ci? What did you do?"
One question after another came in quick succession, but Gu Nanyan was not annoyed. His phoenix eyes curved slightly. "An'an has asked so many questions. How do you want your wife to answer them?" His voice was seductive and alluring, unlike his usual clear and melodious voice.
“Let’s take it one at a time, there’s plenty of time.” Shen Bei’an moved closer to her face. “Anyway, don’t even think about lying! I’m watching you, so you better watch out.”
Her seemingly affectionate peach blossom eyes stared directly into her phoenix eyes, appearing extremely threatening.
But only Gu Nanyan knew that those peach blossom eyes held a myriad of stars and were filled with endless imagination.
"First, tell me what exactly happened with Yu Ci," Shen Bei'an said, believing that Yu Ci was the source of all the problems.
Gu Nanyan smiled faintly, "An'an, do you know that Yu Ci was originally the great-aunt of the Wei Sheng family?" He spoke slowly, his phoenix eyes seemingly overflowing with doting affection.
Shen Beian nodded; this was evident from how Wei Shengxi addressed her.
“The Weisheng family once had a marriage alliance with the Helian family of Xihua City.” Gu Nanyan paused again.
"Can you stop pausing!" Shen Bei'an hated it when someone left things unsaid. "Hurry up and say it, hurry up." He was getting impatient with Gu Nan'an's half-finished sentence and grabbed his collar.
Gu Nanyan didn't continue, but instead stared straight at Shen Bei'an's lips.
Shen Bei'an couldn't ignore that burning gaze, and a blush rose from her neck to her cheeks.
Having spent so much time together, Shen Beian knew Gu Nanyan's cunning capitalist nature well. If he didn't say anything today, Gu Nanyan would definitely not say anything.
After all, she's his wife, so he has to spoil her a bit. Shen Bei'an quickly chirped, "Tell me quickly."
The deposit has been received, and now the capitalist is speaking.
"The two parties to the marriage are Zi Ci and the young master of the Helian family, namely Helian Yunbai, the Grand Duke of Nanheng in Xihua City."
"Wasn't he supposed to be a very refined young man? Then why did he get divorced?" Shen Beian then asked. The marriage alliance between the Weisheng family and the Helian family was broken off midway, and it was no secret in the capital that the Weisheng family's aunt had left the Weisheng family, so Shen Beian knew about it.
“Refined?” Gu Nanyan chuckled. “If that hypocrite can be called refined, then there is probably no unrefined person in this world.”
He used doting love to mask the cold chill and murderous intent deep in his eyes.
Shen Bei'an only felt the warmth inside the car and the affection emanating from Gu Nan'an; nothing else.
He was a little confused. What was wrong with Helian Yunbai?
Both the Nine Masters of the Capital and the Five Dukes of Xihua City were quite famous in the Empire, so he happened to see comments about Helian Yunbai in the news.
Everyone says he's a gentle and refined gentleman, so how come his wife calls him a hypocrite?
However, divorcing someone as wonderful as Yu Ci might not necessarily be a good thing.
