Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

There were clusters of flowers in the garden, but not a single one could attract Shen Nian'an.

Instead, he took a fancy to a stone table, sat down on the stone bench beside it, raised his hands, leaned on the table, adjusted himself into a comfortable position and fell asleep.

The spring breeze was gentle and the sun was shining brightly. The wide hem of the dress covered half of the table, like a flower in full bloom.

Vivid, beautiful, and heart-warming.

Gu Ling sat on a tall tree trunk with one leg bent and his arm casually placed on his knee. He only needed to lower his head slightly to have a clear view of Shen Nian'an's sleeping face.

Perhaps it was because the sun was too bright today, or perhaps it was because the fragrance of the flowers was intoxicating. Gu Ling looked at Shen Nian'an and suddenly felt that if Shen Nian'an was as quiet as he is now, there would be nothing wrong with marrying him.

Young Master Shen's emotions are straightforward and passionate. He cries when he wants to cry and laughs when he wants to laugh. If, she meant if...

It would probably be a very good thing if you could see such a clean person waiting for you with full heart and eyes when you come home from work.

Well, the prerequisite is that Shen Nian'an doesn't cry all the time.

The breeze blew by, the shadows of the trees swayed, and mottled light and shadows danced on Shen Nian'an. The bright light spots fell on his eyebrows, and he frowned slightly.

In just a moment, a slight air flow surged, and a shadow blocked the naughty light spot.

The petals carried by the air flow danced in the light and shadow, slowly falling as time passed. Just as they were about to touch Shen Nian'an's face, a hand reached out.

The delicate petals fell on the palm with thin calluses, and Gu Ling slightly closed his five fingers to hide the petals in his palm.

She looked down at the unconscious Shen Nian'an, her eyes passed over Shen Nian'an's lips and finally fell to the ground.

See, she said that Shen Nian'an is not on guard at all, so we have to keep a close eye on him, right?

There were faint sounds of footsteps in the distance. Gu Ling bent his fingers and tapped Shen Nian'an's forehead twice. Shen Nian'an rubbed his arm and slowly opened his eyes.

Everything was red, and at this distance he could even see the delicate dark patterns on the red satin.

Why is everyone wearing red clothes?

Wait! There's someone in front of him?!

Shen Nian'an woke up from his doze in an instant. He sat up straight and leaned back. Gu Ling stretched out his hand to protect him from behind, but he saw that he had grabbed the stone table to steady himself.

"You..." Why are you so elusive?

"Mr. Shen, someone is coming. It might not be appropriate if they see you sleeping here." Shen Nian'an was interrupted by Gu Ling before he could finish his words.

This familiar feeling of frustration, yes, it’s Gu Ling again.

And from the sound of it, he should thank her?

Shen Nian'an said rather depressedly: "Oh, thank you."

Gu Ling curled his lips and smiled: "You're welcome."

Shen Nian'an stood up and was about to ask where the person was when he saw a palace maid walking over from a distance, saying that Lord Feng had arrived and asked them to go in and pay their respects.

Shen Nian'an looked at Gu Ling in surprise. She didn't expect that what she said was right.

The two followed the palace maid through many twists and turns and finally found the main force.

Everyone in the garden had arrived early, and then two people suddenly came from a distance, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.

Shen Nian'an hid behind Gu Ling somewhat uncomfortably, and heard a whisper from beside him, with a teasing smile: "Don't be afraid, they don't eat people."

Shen Nian'an is not convinced, who is afraid?

Gu Ling took a few steps forward and walked into the crowd, and Shen Nian'an hurriedly followed.

In the past, on such grand occasions, he either followed Minister Shen or Shen Jingyi. Now that he had suddenly become the focus of everyone's attention, he was a little at a loss and could only follow Gu Ling like a little follower.

Gu Ling saluted towards Feng Jun who was sitting in the main seat, and Shen Nian'an followed suit, agreeing with every word Gu Ling said.

Like a scholar.

Shen Jingyi, who was anxious and angry, saw Shen Nian'an following Gu Ling, and her heart was instantly relieved. With Gu Ling around, she felt stable.

Shen Nian'an followed Gu Ling's words, but his eyes kept looking at the crowd. He finally saw Shen Jingyi and felt relieved.

With my sister here, I’m safe.

Feng Jun looked elegant and dignified, and showed no displeasure at the late arrival of Gu Ling and Shen Nian'an. He did not ask why the two came together, but teased them like a loving elder.

"The palace is so big that it's really hard to find the way. You youngsters are inflexible. Why don't you just ask a palace servant to lead the way?"

Gu Ling bowed again: "Feng Jun is right, we were negligent."

Shen Nian'an saluted in a formal manner: "I'm sorry for neglecting it."

Feng Jun looked at Shen Nian'an who was focusing on Gu Ling. His eyes darkened slightly, but he still smiled. "This must be the son of Minister Shen. He is indeed a lovely man. He seems to be less of a worry than my Eleventh."

Shen Nian'an replied respectfully: "Nian'an has a bad temper, and he can't compare to the eleventh prince."

He muttered to himself: It's not very credible to say good things about me just after meeting me once.

Feng Jun praised Shen Nian'an. Gu Ling and Shen Jingyi felt something was wrong, but they were concerned about Feng Jun's identity and did not dare to interrupt.

Fortunately, there is the eleventh prince nearby.

The princes and princesses did not attend the flower-viewing banquet. The Eleventh Prince heard that Gu Ling was also coming, so he begged Feng Jun to bring him with him.

But after being here for a long time, not only did he not see Gu Ling, but when he finally saw someone, he heard his father bragging to others, which made him a little unhappy.

"Father said that Mr. Shen was good in every way when he met him. Miss Gu came with him. Why did father leave her alone?"

Gu Ling stood out in red clothes with an upright posture. Standing next to the picturesque Shen Nian'an, they looked indescribably well matched.

Others found this scene pleasing to the eye, but Yan Shiyi found it extremely dazzling.

Feng Jun's face froze: "It's my fault for neglecting it. Miss Gu, why don't you sit down and take a rest first?"

Shen Nian'an sighed. See, he knew that Feng Jun's praise of him was false. Otherwise, why did he let Gu Ling sit down but left him standing here.

It’s really tiring to stand for a long time.

Finally got the chance to speak, Gu Ling couldn't let it go easily: "Thank you Feng Jun for your kindness, but I'm afraid An An will offend Feng Jun, so it's better for me to stay with him."

It's really inappropriate for unmarried men and women to call each other so intimately. It's almost like saying openly that there is some unspeakable relationship between us.

Shen Nian'an was confused and subconsciously looked at Shen Jingyi. With the tacit understanding they had developed over the past decade, he could still understand his sister's expression even from a distance.

Don't talk and listen to Gu Ling.

Shen Nian'an didn't know what Gu Ling's intention was, but he knew it was right to listen to his sister, so he shut his mouth and stood there obediently.

Feng Jun had a bad feeling and didn't plan to delve deeper into the relationship between the two, but he had a stupid teammate.

Yan Shiyi got furious when he heard the name "An An" and asked angrily, "What's your relationship?"

Feng Jun sighed, Shen Jingyi felt relieved, and Gu Ling was happy.

"It's naturally the relationship between an engaged couple."
