Ning Yao and Zou Shuang did not stay there for long and soon left.
"Yan Yan, why does that Miss Zou seem so afraid of you?" Although Shen Bei'an had been eating, he had also been observing the two of them. He could clearly sense that Zou Shuang was afraid of Gu Nan Yan.
Why is that?
Yan Yan must have never met them before, right?
Neither of the two cups of tea were finished. Ning Yao only took a few sips of her cup, while Zou Shuang had already drunk more than half of hers.
Gu Nanyan picked up a handkerchief and bent down to wipe the pastry crumbs from Shen Bei'an's mouth. "I don't know. Perhaps, as Miss Ning said, Miss Zou is introverted and shy." His eyes were gentle.
If Gu Nanyan were to say it, the Zou family was quite peculiar.
As the only younger generation in the Zou family, Zou Shuang did not inherit anything from the Medical Alliance; she simply managed household chores.
Zou Shuang's mother, Zou Ling, then took Ning Zhang as her personal disciple.
Zou Ling's feelings for Zou Shuang are quite complicated.
Isn't preventing Zou Shuang from participating in anything also a way to protect her?
As for why he was afraid of him, Gu Nanyan didn't think too much about it; after all, he was an insignificant person.
Shen Bei'an tilted her head slightly to make it easier for Gu Nan'an to wipe her, holding a half-eaten lotus flower pastry in her hand.
"Did Ning Yao come here just to see you?" Although Shen Bei'an hadn't spoken, he had been listening the whole time, seemingly without saying a word.
Moreover, Ning Yao addressed Yan Yan as "Patriarch Brown" throughout the entire process.
Gu Nanyan just smiled and said, "No rush. Ning Yao will be our guide later. She's only here to meet us once."
It was impossible for Ning Yao's arrival without someone accompanying her from the Ning family and other members of the medical alliance.
The Brown family wields considerable power in Europe and is one of the families that Fuyun Island seeks to win over.
There was nothing improper about Ning Yao acting as a guide when the new head of the Brown family and his lord arrived.
"Shall we just wander around Fuyun Island for the next few days?" Shen Beian stuffed the remaining half of the lotus flower pastry into his mouth.
"Not only us, but also many prominent and powerful people from all over the world."
Whether it was Shen Bei'an's imagination or something else, he felt that Gu Nan'an's use of the term "prestigious family and powerful family" carried a hint of irony.
“There are a lot of people coming, so there will be an extra lot of security personnel. Fuyun Island naturally doesn’t dare to offend them all, so there is still a high degree of freedom,” Gu Nanyan continued to explain.
Although Fuyun Island is prosperous, it will not oppose the world's famous and powerful families.
"It's just that we might run into a few idiots." Gu Nanyan rubbed his temples. With so many families, it's inevitable that there will be a few spoiled children.
They had encountered this the last time they came.
Shen Bei'an's eyes were full of interest.
Oh my god!
A truly memorable moment of humiliation!
In the original book, the female protagonist slapped the faces of many people on Fuyun Island.
It was a truly memorable scene.
Did he also get a share of this extraordinary wealth?!
Because of his status, almost no one dared to act arrogantly in front of Master Shen.
Now, he is no longer Master Shen, nor the head of the Gu family.
He was an ordinary person from a small town who unintentionally climbed the social ladder.
"So you mean someone might dance right in front of me?" Her exquisite, alluring peach blossom eyes were full of interest, with a hint of restlessness.
Gu Nanyan knew that Shen Bei'an loved to play, so he reached out and ruffled Shen Bei'an's hair. "Not necessarily, but if we follow An'an's advice, there's a high chance that Young Master Xie is being targeted. If An'an wants to watch the show, she can stay with Young Master Xie."
Shen Bei'an's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again. "But our current identities seem to have nothing to do with Qingqing, right?"
Indeed, the female protagonist in every book has Conan-like qualities; wherever she goes, trouble is bound to follow.
But it's necessary for the plot.
“The Brown family has collaborated with the American Dream Chasing Consortium and the Shen Group before,” Gu Nanyan said calmly. “And we are currently collaborating with the Shen Group, so it won’t attract too much attention if Ziqing comes to talk to me.”
"Furthermore, the banquets on Fuyun Island are inherently about mutual benefit, and there are many families that form marriage alliances through banquets and events on Fuyun Island."
"That's why invitations to Fuyun Island allow guests to bring more people."
Although it is a marriage alliance, if it is a marriage between a family heir or a relatively important person, it is natural to take into account what kind of person the other party is, what their temperament is, what their talents are, and what their appearance is.
Shen Bei'an felt a headache coming on, but thankfully he didn't have to worry about all this nonsense.
He took the flower tea and took a big gulp. "OK, OK, I've heard enough. It's the so-called family marriage alliance, a powerful alliance, right?"
In the First World, although the family he lived in was good, Shen Beian had no desire to compete for it, and his social circle was nothing like it was now.
"Okay." Gu Nanyan replied, "No need to rush, eat slowly, I'll take you to the hunting grounds in a bit."
Gu Nanyan didn't say the last three words.
"Where to?" Shen Bei'an asked, chewing on a osmanthus cake, a look of confusion flashing in his peach-blossom eyes.
"Let's go stroll around the shopping street in the city that never sleeps." Gu Nanyan still had some concerns about the hunting grounds.
Now it's probably even worse... Her An'an, such a pure and kind person, if she saw those things...
But the auction itself probably won't be much better.
Even the usually decisive and ruthless eldest son hesitated at this moment.
“Yan Yan,” Shen Bei’an seemed to have noticed something. He took a sip of tea and swallowed the osmanthus cake in his mouth. He walked to Gu Nan’an’s side and reached out to smooth her slightly furrowed brows. “Don’t frown. We can talk about it slowly.”
She stretched out her legs and straddled Gu Nanyan's lap, pinching his cheek with her hand.
It's very smooth and comfortable.
"If you want me to remember you, to fully understand you, and to enter your world, why are you still hesitating?"
"Yan Yan, you're not suited to lie to me."
"Because you can't bear to part with it."
Shen Beian's hand roamed over her forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, and cheeks, and then gently traced her lips.
Gu Nanyan reached out and pulled Shen Bei'an's head into his arms, resting his head on the top of Shen Bei'an's head.
Yes
If Gu Nanyan really wanted to, she could use her gentle and refined demeanor to deceive Shen Bei'an for a lifetime.
But she was unwilling, and even more reluctant.
"An'an, promise me that if you see anything you don't want to see or can't stand, don't rush to speak. First, think about why we're here and what you want to do, okay?"
Gu Nanyan's voice seemed unchanged, yet it carried a hint of hoarseness.
"I understand." Shen Bei'an had a vague feeling about it and closed his eyes.
After having dessert, the two spent the afternoon strolling along the shopping street in the city that never sleeps. They had just returned home and finished dinner, preparing to take a bath together as a couple, when they received a holographic image of Fu Muqian.
