It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when Shen Beian was still lying casually on the wicker chair in the garden, with fruit and flower tea casually placed on the table and soothing music playing.
"An'an, go change your clothes first. I've already prepared the gift. We'll be leaving in a bit." Gu Nanyan walked over, his face still bearing a gentle smile, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.
Shen Beian stood up, then stopped in his tracks. “I…” he couldn’t bring himself to speak.
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Gu Nanyan reached out and touched his hand, leaned down and kissed his forehead, then gently ruffled his hair.
Although Shen Bei'an seems quite laid-back, he's definitely a refined guy, with very well-maintained hair.
Meeting those deep, tender phoenix eyes, he calmed down, unsure if it was true.
"good."
Shen Family Old House
"Master, Madam, Fifth Master and Fifth Madam have returned."
Upon hearing this, almost everyone in the hall stood up, including the two elderly people sitting in the middle.
Seeing this, Master Shen patted the armrest and said, "It's just that An'er is back. Why are you all so excited? Of course they'll come in."
Although she said that, her eyes couldn't help but look outside.
"Yes, Mother, don't worry, Fifth Brother will be coming in soon."
Old Master Shen and Old Madam Shen had five sons, three sons and two daughters. Their eldest son, Shen Beizong, had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son was Shen Juanqing.
The second daughter, Shen Beirong, also has two daughters. The third daughter, Shen Beining, and the fourth son, Shen Beiyu, are twins, each with one son and one daughter.
In other words, there were nearly twenty people waiting for Shen Bei'an and Gu Nan'an in this hall.
"It is I who am late. I hope my father, mother, elder brother and sister-in-law, elder sister and brother-in-law will forgive me." Gu Nanyan and Shen Bei'an, dressed in wide-sleeved, moon-white silk robes, strolled over together, a truly visual feast!
As he spoke, Gu Nanyan handed the gift to the servant beside him, Wushuang's face showing apology.
Shen Beian, standing to the side, was quite casual and greeted him off casually.
The other younger members, led by Shen Juanqing, bowed and greeted him.
"Hmph, so you still know how to come back." Old Master Shen snorted coldly from the sofa, then turned to Gu Nanyan and said, "This brat must have been late again because of some random change of clothes or something. Only you spoil him."
"Qing-ge'er, make tea for your uncle and aunt."
Chen Juanqing replied softly, "Yes," and began to brew tea, acting merely as a background figure.
"No, old man, I just came back once and you started teasing me, asking why I didn't come back. Don't you know that?" Shen Bei'an didn't know why he said these words so easily. He picked up a bunch of grapes from the fruit plate on the coffee table and started eating.
Seeing the lychees in the ice chest next to me, I felt a little tempted, but I was too lazy to peel them.
"You brat! Dinner is coming up soon, why are you eating grapes at this hour?" Old Master Shen said, without stopping him.
Gu Nanyan peeled a lychee, placed it on a small plate, and handed it to Shen Bei'an.
The Shen family was well aware of Gu Nanyan's attitude.
"You're lucky to have met such a good wife. If it were someone else, someone like you would probably have a hard time even finding a girlfriend," Old Madam Shen teased, though she couldn't help but smile.
"Mom!" Shen Beian, who was excitedly eating his lychees, heard Madam Shen's words and quickly got up to feed her a lychee. "Your daughter-in-law peeled it, and your son fed it to you. Please try some!"
