After spending more time with them, I realized that the eldest and second eldest sisters were indeed... not good people.
“Yan Yan is much more docile in front of me, how should I put it?” Shen Bei’an put down one gun and picked up another. “I can’t say she’s never lost her temper in front of me, but I feel she’s much better than she is in front of you.”
Zhou Zhi remained noncommittal, as did Hua Yueli.
The two played for a long time, trying out almost every gun that Biluo Xiaozhu had placed outside. Shen Beian discovered that Zhou Zhihui really knew a lot.
He had never heard of many of these models, but Zhou Zhi spoke eloquently about them.
"I won't have dinner here. I'll head back now and we can talk another day," Zhou Zhi said, declining Shen Beian's request.
After seeing Zhou Zhi off, Gu Nanyan returned.
As usual, she handed the flowers to Shen Beian, but then she smelled a faint scent of gunpowder. "Did An'an play with guns with Boss Zhou today?"
Shen Bei'an took the flowers, surprised. "Yan Yan, do you have a dog's nose? I clearly took a shower and used all sorts of essential oils, how could you still smell it?"
I looked down and sniffed myself; there was nothing there, only the fragrance of the bunch of red roses in front of me.
"Maybe it's because I have a more sensitive sense of smell." Gu Nanyan put down his outer robe, changed his shoes, and pulled Shen Beian inside.
"No, I have to wash them twice more. What if they smell it when I hold them later?" Shen Bei'an frowned. "Hold them for me for a while, and put them in the vase yourself after I finish my shower. Don't move them around."
He repeatedly instructed them.
"Okay, I won't let you touch it." Gu Nanyan took the flowers, this time twelve red roses, and went to the study.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" As soon as I entered the study, I received a holographic message from Fu Muqian.
"Why are you carrying flowers?" Before Fu Muqian could finish his sentence, he saw Gu Nanyan holding a bouquet of roses. "Did Fifth Master send them to you?"
Gu Nanyan shook his head, "I was thinking of giving it to An'an. He and Boss Zhou played shooting games all afternoon, and he still smelled of gunpowder on him. I was afraid it would bother the two little brats, so I took a shower."
Although its status didn't decline linearly, it did decline to some extent.
The eldest son thought this way.
"But why did you message me?" He casually sat down in the chair behind his desk.
Speaking of this, Fu Muqian sighed, "Wei Sheng's family said that Xin Jie'er is pregnant. Xiao Jiu originally wanted to go and see Xin Jie'er, but Xin Jie'er said it was inconvenient."
“I didn’t think much of it at first, but then I thought about how Xin’er didn’t come home for the New Year. Wei Shengxu came back on his own, saying that Xin’er was pregnant and her emotions were fluctuating a lot, so she was afraid to move around and had been staying at home these days.”
"While what you said makes sense—some pregnant women do experience unusual emotional fluctuations—it just feels a bit strange," Fu Muqian continued.
"Plus the Weisheng family, since Ziqing found out something, I became even more suspicious."
"Are you saying that something happened to Young Master Fu?" Gu Nanyan summarized briefly.
“I know the chances of Xin’er getting into trouble are slim. She’s a colonel who’s earned her position through real combat, and she’s got plenty of people under her command. But dealing with a strange family like the Wei family, and Wei Shengxu, just doesn’t feel right.”
"It's not convenient for the Fu family to show their faces. If it's just a misunderstanding, it could easily cause conflict between the two families. So I'm hoping you can help me find Xin'er."
"Alright, I'll send someone to look for Young Master Fu. Don't worry, he's a grown man, he shouldn't be in any serious trouble." Gu Nanyan comforted her, but she couldn't say any more words of comfort.
"Okay, contact me if anything comes up. I'll treat you to dinner later." Fu Muqian didn't stand on ceremony with Gu Nanyan and hung up the holographic image immediately after finishing his business.
Gu Nanyan reviewed the documents for a while, and when he saw that it was almost time, he came out with the flowers.
Shen Beian had just finished showering and leaned close to Gu Nanyan, "Smell it, smell it, is there still that gunpowder smell?"
A natural scent of gardenias wafted into his nostrils. Gu Nanyan handed him the roses. "That's all. You take care of the flowers first. I'm going to check on the two little brats." Following Shen Bei'an's way of addressing them, Gu Nanyan also got used to calling them "little brats."
"Go take a shower and change your clothes first. You've come back from outside with a lot of germs." Shen Bei'an didn't know how other people raised their children, but he certainly did!
Such a precious baby!
Gu Nanyan sighed helplessly, "Fine," and reached out to pinch Shen Bei'an's nose. "It feels like my status as a wife in the family is declining day by day now that we have two little brats." His voice was leisurely.
Fifth Master Shen hugged Gu Nanyan's waist tightly, tilted his head up and kissed her lips, "No, no! I'm just worried because you work so hard outside, and I'm afraid you'll have to worry if anything happens to the two little ones."
Master Shen said, "Just coax Gu Nanyan."
It's a very simple thing.
Gu Nanyan raised his hand and ruffled Shen Beian's hair. "They're not that fragile. They weighed 2.5 kilograms and 2.4 kilograms respectively when they were born, and they're both very healthy. Besides, don't you usually take them to the greenhouse or something?"
"How can that be the same!" Shen Bei'an ignored him. "Anyway, hurry up! Go take a shower and change your clothes!" He slapped Gu Nan'an's hand away. "I just came out from outside, don't touch my freshly washed hair, it's filthy."
"Hurry up and go!" Master Shen's peach blossom eyes glared angrily, his voice carrying a hint of arrogance.
Very good, it's still the same familiar husband.
"I'll go right away, I'll go right away." The eldest son could only surrender with both hands. "An'an, you go and tidy up the flowers first. I'll go take a shower and change my clothes, and then go see the two little ones."
"What brat!" Master Shen was especially unreasonable towards the eldest son.
"Two little darlings." The eldest son changed his tune quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Shen Bei'an snorted coldly, not at all aware that he was being hypocritical, and walked towards the small flower room while humming a song and holding the flowers.
Since Gu Nanyan started coming home every night, he always brings either a bouquet of flowers or some small toys.
Although Biluo Xiaozhu has all these things, the value lies in the sentiment.
And there's a little surprise every day, so I look forward to it every day.
This is quite comfortable.
How about we give her a reward?
Anyway, we can finally have some meat now.
Shen Beian blushed as she thought of the "clothes" kept in her room.
He cursed inwardly, "Why did I listen to Xiao Yezi's advice?!"
How did I actually place an order?!
He didn't buy that thing; he asked Xiao Yezi to buy it for him, and he even added a hidden note to it.
Therefore, Gu Nanyan only knew that Ye Lin had bought something for Shen Bei'an, but did not know what it was.
Gu Nanyan has always respected Shen Bei'an's personal privacy.
Anyway, we can give it a try tonight...
He...he misses Gu Nanyan too.
