"A true gentleman would not use psychological manipulation on his wife, much less use a combination of physical and emotional abuse to control her, nor would he cut off all contact between his wife and the outside world, imprisoning her at home." Gu Nanyan's words, spoken in a magnetic and doting voice, were cold and sinister.
Shen Bei'an was taken aback.
PUA, physical violence, emotional abuse, imprisonment!
Will it happen to that classical beauty?
"An'an," Gu Nanyan said, the hair ribbon binding Gu Nanyan had come loose at some point. Gu Nanyan rolled over and pinned Shen Bei'an beneath him, burying his head in Shen Bei'an's shoulder. His voice was low and deep. "I never expected it to turn out like this. You know, Zi Ci used to be so cheerful, but now... An'an, the Zi Ci of the past never considered that he was unworthy of anyone. He always thought that no one in this world was worthy of this goddess who was as pure and untainted as a night-blooming cereus."
Shen Beian's body remained stiff. He never imagined that this seemingly innocent beauty had such experiences.
"Back then, the twelve of us liked to give each other nicknames. Zici's nickname was 'Beauty Under the Moon,' which is another name for the epiphyllum. Zici really liked the epiphyllum, but we all said that the epiphyllum only had a fleeting beauty, which had a bad connotation. But Zici said that it was not just a fleeting beauty, but that moment would be firmly fixed in everyone's heart. Whether it was an epiphyllum growing wildly, an epiphyllum in bud, an epiphyllum in full bloom, or an epiphyllum in withering, each had its own beauty."
Shen Bei'an nodded
Yes
People view the epiphyllum as much as fireworks.
Beauty in a fleeting moment
But who would have thought that the growth and withering of the epiphyllum are also beautiful in their own way?
Just like life, there are flowers blooming in every stage of life.
Gu Nanyan seemed to sense Shen Bei'an's stiffness, nuzzled him, and placed a hand on Shen Bei'an's waist. "An'an, it was Jing Ge'er who accidentally discovered it during a mission. So Jing Ge'er was the one who discovered it first. At that time, Jing Ge'er carried Zi Ci, who was wearing a white dress and covered in wounds, out. Therefore, Zi Ci has a special dependence on Jing Ge'er, as well as an unspeakable inferiority complex."
Those living in darkness yearn for a light that belongs only to them.
But that light was hope for them, and in its presence, they couldn't help but feel inferior.
Shen Beian was unaware of this feeling. In the First World, he didn't need to be saved, and here, he needed even less.
"Then Nan Jing, he..."
Gu Nanyan looked up and kissed Shen Bei'an's lips. His raven-feather eyelashes cast dark shadows under his eyelids, making him look even more mysterious. "The fleeting moment of infatuation in youth will eventually blossom into a beautiful ephemera."
Gu Nanyan knew what her younger brother was thinking; he couldn't hide anything from his younger siblings at all in front of her.
Unfortunately, the two are six years apart in age, and it's unclear how the younger brother came to like her.
When Zici was discussing marriage, this younger brother was still a little kid who hadn't even grown any hair yet.
"Don't worry about them, Jing-ge'er will handle it." Gu Nanyan wasn't worried about these things at all. After Gu Nanjing learned about that matter, she had already started taking action. When she wanted to take action against Helian Yunbo, Gu Nanjing volunteered to help.
If a family-oriented person can't even handle this little bit of trouble, they shouldn't come home.
"So what did you do?" Did you break the law or commit a crime?!
Thinking of this, Shen Beian decisively pushed Gu Nanyan off him, losing all focus.
Gu Nanyan was caught off guard and was pushed out. Fortunately, the car was spacious enough that even so, Gu Nanyan was pushed to the ground and almost hit his head.
Her phoenix eyes flickered slightly; she was still somewhat bewildered.
"An'an, what's wrong?" Gu Nanyan sat on the carpet, picked up his glasses and put them on.
Looking at Gu Nanyan's "refined scoundrel" appearance, Shen Beian felt that he was more like the domineering CEO described in novels who had committed half of the criminal law.
Moreover, his wife is truly a domineering CEO!
Thinking of this, Shen Beian silently shrank back inside, and his gaze towards Gu Nanyan became somewhat strange.
Gu Nanyan knew that her husband was imagining things again, although in a sense, this time his imagination wasn't wrong.
However, we can let him know gradually in the future; it's a bit too early now.
Gu Nanyan reached out and pulled Shen Beian, who was shrinking into a quail, into his arms, pinching the tip of his nose. "Baby, don't overthink it. What can we do? We are all law-abiding citizens. Nothing will happen."
Anyway, even if you're left half-crippled, there will be a cell repair device to save you. You won't have a single scar on your body, so where can you sue?
To deal with garbage, you need to have ways to deal with garbage.
Shen Bei'an still felt a little uneasy, as if something was wrong. "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Have I ever lied to An'an?" Gu Nanyan indicated that this was not a lie.
It can only be described as a montage-style rhetoric.
Shen Beian thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he should reply with "never".
Even regarding that matter, Gu Nanyan simply didn't mention it, rather than deceiving him.
"So An'an, don't overthink it. We're almost home, so get some rest and take a nap."
"What about you? Are you planning to go straight back to the Huanyu Building later?" Shen Beian nodded at first, but then he remembered that today didn't seem to be a day off, which meant his wife had to work.
Gu Nanyan glanced at the time. "Instead of going back to the Huanyu Building, let's go to Fuyun Island. Does An'an want to come along?"
I learned something from Helian Yunbai that needs to be resolved.
Shen Beian was surprised. Fuyun Island!
This is the most mysterious place in the original book!
But isn't it a bit too early to climb up now?
