Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 62 Such a good night, don't waste it

"Dad, no matter how good Gu Yichuan is, he is not your real son-in-law. He may not be able to take care of the Shen family in the future. The Marquis' Mansion and the Shen family are the real in-laws. My brothers are making friends with the prince for the good of the Shen family. Why are you still siding with outsiders?"

Her words and deeds were meant to distance herself from Shen Nankui and Gu Yichuan.

Father Shen was somewhat helpless, but because of the Marquis's Mansion, he could not refute, and only said: "Wan'er, your father is not siding with outsiders, I just want them to learn some good things, so that they can support the Shen family in the future."

"I believe that the two brothers will be fine."

Hearing this, Shen Lin and Shen Liang both looked at her with gratitude.

He also said: "Okay, okay, today is a holiday, it's rare for the family to get together, why do we keep talking about these things?"

After saying this, he quickly winked at his two sons.

Shen Lin and Shen Liang understood and raised their glasses. "People are in high spirits when they are happy. The moon is especially bright during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I, your son, congratulate you on your promotion and wish you a smooth and successful career."

Father Shen was so delighted by the two of them that his face lit up with smiles.

He waved his hand and said, "I am old now. The future of the Shen family still depends on you. Come, let's drink a cup together."

The stars and the moon were bright, and the atmosphere at the table finally relaxed.

On the other side of the Shen family.

Shen Nankui lifted up her skirt, stepped on the bamboo ladder, and climbed up step by step.

After she reached the attic, she put down a bamboo basket tied with a rope. Gu Yichuan put moon cakes, wine and food in it. After she pulled the bamboo basket up, he also climbed up the bamboo ladder.

In the last two steps, Shen Nankui pulled him, but unexpectedly he used too much force and they both fell to the floor of the attic.

The moment she fell, Gu Yichuan quickly protected the back of Shen Nankui's head with his palm, preventing her from hitting her head, but he himself was hit and groaned.

Shen Nankui quickly pulled his hand out and blew on it at his lips, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

The attic was in a remote location with no one around, and Gu Yichuan didn't want to get up after pressing on her.

However, Shen Nankui pushed him away and pointed at the night sky.

"The moon is bright in the sky, don't be ignorant of romance."

Gu Yichuan turned his head to look at her, "I thought that since you are here, it is better not to look at the moon."

"Why, am I prettier than the moon?"

"Of course, the vast expanse of glazed glass cannot compare to the affectionate eyes of the girl, and the moonlight is like water, but cannot compare to the radiance of the girl's gaze."

Shen Nankui's face turned red again, but this time she didn't hide. She glared back with her eyes open and stuffed a piece of mooncake into Gu Yichuan's mouth fiercely.

"You're just talking nonsense, but you'd better eat mooncakes!"

Gu Yichuan took out the mooncake in his mouth and said with a smile: "Bright Moon, everything I said is true, my lady, don't you like to hear it?"

Shen Nankui liked to hear it, but was unwilling to admit it.

With a red face, he said angrily, "You lecher!"

Gu Yichuan loved to see her shy look the most, and couldn't help but turn over and get closer to her.

"My dear, you are wrongly accusing me. You and I are husband and wife, and I think you are perfect in every way. This is all as it should be. Besides, I only do this to you, and everything is reasonable and legal. Even if there is a bright moon in the sky and a gentle breeze on the ground, I can't say anything wrong..."

His mouth was suddenly blocked.

Shen Nankui bit his lower lip in annoyance, "You read the books of sages just to say these words to make women happy?"

"There is no woman, only you, and I only make you happy."

Seeing his serious look, Shen Nankui felt so embarrassed that her ears felt hot. Unsatisfied, she leaned over and bit his chin again.

Gu Yichuan cried out "Ouch" and finally begged for mercy, "Madam, please forgive me!"

"It's good that you're afraid. This is the Shen family. You're not worried about being laughed at when you say these things!"

"My husband is wrong."

Shen Nankui glared at him and ordered, "Pour the wine."

Gu Yichuan diligently took out the food from the bamboo basket, placed it on the floor one by one, and poured wine for the two of them.

The two of them clinked their glasses and drank their wine.

Gu Yichuan suddenly asked, "My lady, have you let out some of the anger in your heart?"

"Ok?"

"You have been unhappy since you returned to the Shen family. I know you have a lot of things on your mind."

Shen Nankui suddenly realized that he had been teasing her just to make her happy?

Her heart softened, and she smiled and nodded, "It's all over."

She had already figured out the grudges with the Shen family in her previous life and would not cause herself more trouble.

Gu Yichuan glanced sideways at her, then looked up at the sky.

"Yesterday cannot be retained, but right now, we can have this bright moon. No matter what the future holds, I hope you are happy at this moment."

Shen Nankui's heart seemed to be injected with a trickle of warmth. This was the first time in her past and present lives that someone cared so much about her feelings.

"Thank you, Yichuan."

"How do you thank me?" Gu Yichuan asked.

Before she could answer, he suddenly came forward and pecked her lips lightly, "Then this is a thank you gift to me."

Obviously, they had done more intimate things before, but when he came closer, Shen Nankui couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster.

Gu Yichuan was finally satisfied. He sat side by side with her and looked at the sky.

"The moon is full in the autumn sky. It's a beautiful night. We should not waste it. My wife and I will drink and enjoy the moon."

Shen Nankui also followed his example and sat cross-legged on the ground. Although she was not dignified and elegant, she seemed to have unloaded a burden.

She looked up at the full moon above her head, bathed in the bright and clear light, and her heart seemed to become more peaceful.

-

the next day.

After Shen Nankui and Gu Yichuan met Shen Lin and Shen Liang, they went to say goodbye to He.

He said a few polite words and did not try to keep him. Instead, after Shen's father found out, he called Shen Nankui to the study room alone.

"Since you're back, why don't you stay a few more days?"

Father Shen asked without looking up, holding a book.

Shen Nankui was silent for a moment, and then said truthfully: "Father, my daughter is teaching in a private school in town. I am afraid that if I delay for too long, it will affect the children's studies."

Father Shen didn't seem surprised.

"So the rumor about a female teacher in Cang County turned out to be you?"

"it's me."

Father Shen suddenly threw the book in his hand onto the table.

"Nonsense! Academics are a serious matter, how can you treat them as a joke? You are ruining people's future. Why didn't Gu Yichuan stop you?"
