"This isn't a matter of rushing!" Shen Bei'an took a sip of water, not at all surprised that the water Gu Nanyan gave him was mild and just the right temperature to drink; he was already used to it.
“If this child really…” Shen Beian bit his lip, unable to say such a thing, especially since he had no right to have children according to imperial law.
The empire's reproductive rights belonged entirely to women.
The uterus belongs to women, and the right to decide whether or not to have children is also a woman's right.
Men are not qualified to make that decision.
Seeing Shen Bei'an's hesitation, Gu Nan'an smiled and said, "An'an, why do you think that the plot will affect our child? Or is it that An'an doesn't trust me at all?"
"That's their business, or more accurately, Zili's business. The other classmates are allies, and I'm just a temporary collaborator. Or rather, the Gu family is just neutral. In any case, it won't affect the Gu family, much less me, understand?"
Shen Bei'an raised his eyes and saw only determination in Gu Nan'an's phoenix eyes, nothing else.
"But…"
“An’an, there are no buts,” Gu Nan’an held his shoulder, lowered his head slightly, his expression softened, and the atmosphere became gentler. “Back then at the Shen family, I already told Dad and the others that the turmoil in the capital had nothing to do with us. If I can’t even protect you and our children, what kind of head of the Gu family am I? I might as well abdicate and find an island to live out the rest of my life.”
Gu Nanyan didn't know if she hadn't shown enough of herself usually, but her husband didn't trust her at all, and even had such thoughts pop into his head.
Shen Beian still remembers that this world was originally made up of a complete book.
The male and female protagonists in the book must have a halo, that is, they are the strongest people in the book.
He has always thought so.
In addition, although Gu Nanyan looks very rich, well, he is actually quite rich.
But she usually behaved much like many other office workers he had met.
However, this is a high-level office worker.
He didn't feel anything was wrong, nor did he have the power and influence of his eldest nephew.
It's just that the friends I made were a bit too powerful.
However, it's also said that the Gu family has always remained neutral, so there's nothing that can be done about it.
"An'an, I will never stop you from entering my world, it just depends on whether you are willing," Gu Nanyan continued, his deep phoenix eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses filled with tenderness.
For some reason, Shen Bei'an sensed something different from what his wife was saying.
Does this seem a bit...illegal?
It doesn't seem like that. It's more like... um... a secret force?
Or, the gray area.
Shen Beian opened his mouth, "Really... nothing will happen? I mean, you..." He didn't actually like children very much.
It's simply because the other party is Gu Nanyan.
He wanted a child because he wanted a smaller version of Gu Nanyan.
She wanted a child because she wanted someone to share Gu Nanyan's burdens.
Not because of anything else.
Gu Nanyan raised his hand and gently ruffled Shen Bei'an's hair. It was very soft and smooth, just like him.
It looks very hard and unapproachable, but you'll find that once you get close, you'll discover that...
Like the warm sun shining on a glacier, a clear spring flows down, murmuring gently.
"No, I promise. I, this child, you, we will all be fine." Gu Nanyan said solemnly. "Besides, even if something happens to me, I still have Dad, right? When I go back home in a couple of days, I'll talk to Dad about it. I'm sure Dad would be willing to work for his grandson for a while longer."
Why not use free labor?
Shen Beian never expected that his wife would actually set her sights on her father.
However, Shen Bei'an knew Gu Xiuhuang's personality to some extent.
He doesn't seem like the type of person who would honestly work.
"Dad will." Gu Nanyan seemed to understand Shen Bei'an's meaning, his tone was smug, and his brows were full of confidence.
Hearing her confident tone, Shen Bei'an breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his shoulders. "Yan Yan, promise me one thing: don't give me such a big surprise next time, okay?"
Although he loves surprises, he really can't handle a really big one.
Gu Nanyan smiled, took Shen Bei'an's hand in his and kissed it. "Okay, there won't be a next time."
Having one child is enough.
No more needed
"Let's go, let's go back to our room and sleep. I didn't sleep well last night!" Her tone unconsciously carried a hint of coquettishness as she pulled Gu Nanyan's hand.
"Don't tell me you still have to work!" Shen Bei'an suddenly thought of something and tilted his head to look at Gu Nan'an.
Gu Nanyan sighed, "There's still some work to be done." He spoke frankly, "So, An'an, do you want to stay with me, or go rest first?"
Shen Bei'an's eyes darted around quickly. "Take your things back to your dorm and do them. Just leave the less important stuff to Zhaojun and the vice president. Don't work yourself so hard. Otherwise, what are you supporting them for?"
Shen Beian also learned about the salaries at the Gu Group.
All I can say is that it's really high level.
And the benefits are really good.
No wonder the majority of Peking University graduates visit the Gu Group every day.
"Alright, I will remember my husband's orders." Gu Nanyan followed Shen Bei'an out of the study. Meng Zhaojun was waiting outside. "Zhaojun, did you hear your master's orders clearly?"
The study door had already been opened, and Meng Zhaojun, being a martial artist, naturally heard it.
"Understood, Your Majesty." Meng Zhaojun clasped her hands in a fist salute. "I'll go and revise it again."
However, Meng Zhaojun did not hear about Gu Nanyan's pregnancy.
