Shen Beian didn't care much. To be honest, he didn't know why, but after returning to the Shen family's old house, he became increasingly unable to control himself.
It's not that I can't control myself, it's just a spoiled childishness that comes naturally from being pampered since childhood.
“I didn’t say anything wrong.” Shen Bei’an bent down and picked up a lily pastry from the coffee table. “She’s busier than my older brother.” His beautiful peach blossom eyes held a hint of nonchalance.
These words were somewhat grating even to the members of the Shen family, but Gu Nanyan's stunning face remained completely expressionless.
"An'er!" Madam Shen's voice rarely carried a hint of anger. She knew her youngest son's temperament all too well. He had been spoiled since he was a child. Looking around the capital, where else could you find someone like him?
He embarrassed his wife in front of his father's many younger relatives, refusing to accept the opportunity offered.
“Mom,” Gu Nanyan said with a smile, as if losing face in public was not an important matter, “I was indeed quite busy with the handover of the Gu family recently, but now that it’s almost all arranged, I finally have some free time. We will stay at the old house tonight, and I hope you won’t mind our nagging.”
"How could that be?" Old Madam Shen sighed in relief, then angrily slapped Shen Beian. "Only you can spoil his bad temper like this."
"Mom!" Shen Bei'an snorted coldly. "I was just telling the truth. She's been incredibly busy. Since we got married, this is the only time we've been able to eat together every day. Especially in the early days of our marriage, if it weren't for the fact that I moved from Luoxia Garden to Biluo Xiaozhu, people would have really thought I was still single."
This is the truth. The two got married when Shen Bei'an was twenty years old, while Gu Nan'an was twenty-one. Gu Nan'an took over the Gu family when he was twenty, and returned to Europe to handle affairs there when he was twenty-one.
The couple faced a long-distance relationship shortly after getting married, sometimes not even being able to video chat, let alone have a holographic video call.
During that time, Fu Mutian and the others sometimes joked that there was almost no difference between being married and not being married.
In other words, the person who gave the money changed from the parents, brothers, and sisters to the wife.
"Indeed, it was my fault," Gu Nanyan readily admitted. "I didn't think things through and didn't handle it well. But it won't happen again. Things in Europe have been arranged, and I will stay in China."
Upon hearing this, Shen Beian simply raised his head and said, "So since we're staying at the old house tonight, I'll drink the wrong kind of water."
Putting everything else aside, the water that the second female lead brewed was really delicious!
I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to get to know him in the future.
"Okay, fine," Gu Nanyan said with a hint of helplessness. "Mom, I'll trouble you to keep an eye on him. You know how little An'an can drink."
"Even if the alcohol content isn't high, you should drink less. You were completely drunk that night," he whispered in Shen Bei'an's ear.
That night?
Shen Beian suddenly realized something, and in an instant, a blush rose to her alluring face.
"Okay, okay!" She stuffed the lily pastry she had already taken a bite of into Gu Nanyan's mouth. "The old man has already taken back his move. If you don't go back soon, you'll lose!"
Shen Beian tilted his head and happened to see Old Master Shen just taking his hand off the white chess box. Old Master Shen coughed awkwardly twice after being spoken to by his son, "What nonsense are you talking about! I just couldn't see very clearly and came over to take a look!"
Old Master Shen knew pretty much all the tricks of these young people in Beijing.
Many people have played Go with him, but his youngest daughter-in-law is the only one.
