"Third Uncle, Uncle." Gu Nanyan led Shen Bei'an to bow and greet the two well-matched young men in front of them.
To distinguish between the two, the younger generation of the Gu family all call them that.
Gu Xiujin put one arm around Slater's waist and looked at his niece and nephew-in-law's faces. They had only been slightly modified, but they still looked somewhat similar to their original faces.
But there are many people in the world who look alike, so it doesn't matter if they are somewhat similar.
"Okay, let's get ready to go."
None of the four of them brought much stuff. Everything had already been arranged on Fuyun Island. They went directly to Wushang Loulan, where Xiao Qi and Gu Nanyu were already waiting.
Shen Beian has always maintained a slight curiosity about Gu Xiujin and his partner.
"Why are you staring at me? Is there something wrong with my outfit today?" Slater's long golden hair was casually draped behind her, and her deep blue eyes, as blue as the sea, looked at Shen Bei'an with tenderness. She wore a light-colored Suzhou-embroidered robe with cloud and water ripple patterns, with a dark leather belt tied around her waist. The belt was inlaid with white jade in alternating circles and diamonds, and a brocade pouch and a sachet hung from it.
His voice was very gentle, and the way he looked at Shen Bei'an was the kind of gentle gaze an elder would give to a younger generation.
"Ah, no, no, Uncle." Shen Bei'an shook his head repeatedly.
People who are family-oriented are generally good-looking, and they also tend to find excellent partners.
But a blonde, blue-eyed beauty with long hair and Hanfu robes, really!
Was it a game-winning shot?
"I'm just curious about how you and your third uncle met."
Even though same-sex couples are legal in this world, Shen Beian hasn't seen many of them, let alone couples who have been married for many years.
Slater looked at Gu Xiujin, who was talking to Gu Nanyan, with eyes full of love.
“I would say we have some connection,” Slater said slowly. “I met Ah Jin in Hawaii. We were on vacation and happened to run into someone in the same industry. We gradually got to know each other and started dating.”
The explanation was given in a few words, but the process was not described in detail.
Shen Bei'an didn't know much about the affairs of his uncles and fathers-in-law, since they were all private matters of his elders.
"Is this Bei'an's first time going to Fuyun Island?" Slater sensed that Bei'an was a little nervous, so he took the initiative to start a conversation.
Shen Bei'an took two sips of his favorite fruit tea. "No, I went to the Never-Sleeping City of Wushang Loulan on Fuyun Island before my birthday last year, but it seems that what I experienced was not the most authentic Fuyun Island."
His hands were unconsciously tapping on the water glass, showing that he was nervous.
After all, the Fuyun Island I learned about in the book was not a safe place. There were no laws there, and whatever the law enforcement officers said was law.
Arson, murder, and looting also seemed to be common there.
Moreover, the original book seems to contain many descriptions of Xie Yunyu and Shen Juanqing entering Fuyun Island, not to mention that the third male character in the original book, Yun Hanzhou, also rests in eternal sleep on Fuyun Island.
However, it seems that the third male lead in the original book and Xie Yunyu have no interaction, and it seems unlikely that he will come to Fuyun Island.
Since it's impossible for him to come to Fuyun Island, the possibility of him being buried there forever is also gone.
“Really? The entertainment facilities there are indeed quite good. Ah Jin and I went there for our honeymoon,” Slater said.
That's the only place that's somewhat normal.
As for other matters related to the Presbyterian Church and the Medical Alliance... let's not even talk about them.
"So, Uncle, did you and Third Uncle go to Fuyun Island for a medical exchange meeting?" Shen Bei'an didn't remember Gu Xiujin studying medicine.
etc.
Slater seems to be Xie Yunyu's martial uncle!
“Yes,” Slater replied, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Mo’er; she’ll be going this time too.”
“Mo’er is my junior apprentice, Bei Mo, who is quite famous internationally,” Xiang Chen Beian introduced. “Mo’er’s temperament is very similar to that of Sister Yan back then, but she is still a bit lacking.”
Gu Xiujin and Gu Xiuhuang are not much different in age, and they got married within a few years of each other.
So Gu Nanyan was practically raised under Slater's watchful eye.
My father-in-law used to have a lot of trouble with his eldest niece's personality.
Her father-in-law couldn't control her elder brother, and her elder brother didn't care about Yan Jie'er's personality at all, even seeming to be fueling her troubles.
Bei Mo, another alias of the female lead.
In the original book, it seems that this disguise was also exposed on Fuyun Island. After Bei Mo's disguise was exposed, many people wanted to kidnap her, and then the disguise of the Lord of Wind and Cloud - Yu Huo was also revealed.
It must have been quite enjoyable to read about this scene in the book.
I wonder if I'll have the chance to see it in person when I go to Fuyun Island.
“Really? Then you and Yan Yan should have common topics to talk about.” Shen Bei’an knew his wife’s personality in the past.
He seemed more arrogant than any protagonist in any novel he had ever read.
However, his wife certainly has the right to be arrogant.
It seems like if his wife wanted to create multiple aliases, she could probably do even more than the original female lead.
The two people on one side were chatting happily, while the uncle and nephew on the other side were also chatting idly.
"Are you really sure?" Gu Xiujin held a cup of clear tea in his hand, the clear tea reflecting his handsome face.
Gu Nanyan sat opposite him, adjusted his silver-rimmed glasses, and said, "Yes, I've thought it through."
"Don't regret it later." Gu Xiujin looked at the most satisfied patriarch of the family, who, like his elder brother, had only ever fallen into a trap with his partner.
Aside from that time with his sister-in-law, this was truly the first time he had ever seen his older brother so angry.
Gu Nanyan simply said, "I have no regrets. No matter what An'an thinks about it, I will never leave him."
Gu Nanyan said that she would never leave him.
Rather than saying she would never let him leave her.
Gu Xiujin smiled.
As long as you know your limits, that's fine.
"But did the Shen family know that you brought Bei'an to Fuyun Island?"
The dirty deeds on Fuyun Island far outweigh those in the imperial capital.
Even the Shen family didn't want Shen Bei'an to know about those things, let alone Fuyun Island.
"I already told you," Gu Nanyan said, naturally not hiding anything from the Shen family. "Ziqing will also be going to Fuyun Island this time."
"Third Uncle, I would never joke about An'an's personal safety." His deep phoenix eyes were filled with determination.
“Of course I know.” Gu Xiujin smiled gently. “I also know you won’t hurt him, but…” After all, it was still a bit difficult for Shen Bei’an to accept it.
“Third Uncle, I will never regret a decision I have made.” Gu Nanyan has never regretted any of his decisions. “It has been so in the past, and it will be so now.”
"Have you made arrangements for A-Jin and A-Shen? You'll be spending quite a bit of time on Fuyun Island this time. Aren't you worried they'll forget about you two?" Gu Xiujin didn't have any biological children. He and Slater were both men, and neither of them wanted a child who only had one of their bloodlines.
Since both sides have nephews, there's no need to worry about inheritance issues.
However, most babies are very forgetful and can easily forget each other after a few months apart.
Thinking of his two little ones at home, Gu Nanyan chuckled, "I'll often have a holographic video call with my family. As for the breast milk, I'll have someone take it back. I shouldn't forget about it."
Fuyun Island was sealed off, but Wushang Loulan naturally had its own methods to send messages out.
