You'd better look back, Mr. Shen is about to break.

Chapter 148 Take a nap

He couldn't stop looking; the thought of his darling possibly meeting other people he didn't know drove him crazy with jealousy.

He no longer has the ability to investigate every detail of the people around her and whom she knows, and to completely control her social life.

Now he has to constantly face the fact that his beloved has friends he doesn't know, who may be closer to him than he is to them.

There might be other people around his sweetheart, such as fiancé number one, fiancé number two, neighbor brother number one and two, childhood sweetheart, and so on. Their relationships are complicated and could make him feel upset.

He had so little information to investigate or find out that whenever something happened that was out of his control, he would become uneasy, make dark speculations, and think about rushing over to take her home and lock her up.

"Ding."

The phone beside him beeped with a message, and Shen Mochen paused in his actions, his thoughts coming to an abrupt halt.

This is a special ringtone he set for his daughter.

The phone he's using now was bought with the thousand yuan he earned from boxing. Its storage and operating modes are terrible, and there are only three ringtones that can be set.

"Ding" is the best-sounding one.

Shen Mochen's heart skipped a beat. He reached for his phone, saw the message, and his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, his lowered eyebrows slowly lifting.

On the other side, Yu Nanqing had just left the company. She was overjoyed to receive the good news that she had not been dismissed and had been reinstated. She went to the shopping mall next door as soon as she left the company, and couldn't help but send a message to Shen Mochen when she saw something nice.

She sent Shen Mochen a photo of herself in front of a mascot doll in the mall, along with an emoji, asking him to guess where she was.

Upon receiving the message, Shen Mochen immediately replied, "[The mall?]"

Yu Nanqing raised an eyebrow. "Congratulations on getting it right! As a reward, I've decided to give you a couple's bracelet."

She took a picture of herself stringing beads and sent him a "busy, don't bother me" emoji. After putting her phone away, she focused intently on finding their names among a pile of beads.

Upon receiving the message, Shen Mochen was clearly in a much better mood. All the dark thoughts in his mind seemed to have vanished. He glanced down at the little red dot that was stationary in the mall, and the corners of his lips slowly turned up.

He can't wait to go home.

Put on your apron, prepare a large table of delicious food, and wait for your wife, who has been diligently out hunting, to return home.

Lin Xu slept until dark. When he woke up and opened the door to the lounge, the office was empty.

He was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, glanced down at the time, and could hardly believe it.

It's already 12:40!

In other words, he slept for more than seven hours!

He's such a... pig.

He clearly set more than a dozen alarms for 4 o'clock before going to sleep.

He sighed, reached out and turned on the office light, deciding to stay up all night to make up for the afternoon's absence.

Sitting in his office chair and turning on his computer, he was so grateful he almost cried.

Brother Shen had actually managed to do so much in just one afternoon, even labeling the names of each file with words he could understand.

However, he only went to school sporadically and never had any patience.

He first made himself a large cup of coffee and took a few sips. Then he found the most comfortable position, set up his notebook and pen, and began to scan the computer screen, selecting what seemed to be the simplest folder.

He moved the mouse and clicked, and a map of Huaibei came into view.

He paused for two seconds, hesitated for a moment, and thought that since it was a file that Brother Shen had put on the desktop, it must be a useful file.

This map might show the location of the bigwigs in the Huaibei business district.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He nodded, picked up his pen with high spirits, scanned the entire interface, and clicked on the replay without hesitation. He meticulously noted down all the locations where the little red dot had appeared, and even marked anything he knew about it.

On the other side, Shen Mochen, who was already cuddling his wife who had just taken a nice bath and was about to go to sleep, suddenly remembered when he turned off the lights that he had left in such a hurry today that he forgot to remove the location software from the desktop.

However, upon reflection, he realized that Lin Xu wouldn't be foolish enough to look at the document, so he felt relieved and hugged his sweet and soft wife, kissing her a few more times.

He was wearing the red bracelet that Yu Nanqing had just put on his wrist. The bracelet had four beads hanging from it: a small heart and a Yu Nanqing. Yu Nanqing was wearing a matching bracelet on her wrist.

He loved it so much that he could smell a faint sandalwood scent when he raised his hand to smell it.

Guai Guai said that she had prayed for it sincerely in the sandalwood-scented shop after she finished making the string.

May they be blessed with a lifetime of happiness.

Whether she was just putting on an act or not, he felt happy.

Yu Nanqing bought a lot of things at the mall today. She was exhausted and sleepy, her eyelids drooping. Occasionally, she would lift her eyes and see Shen Mochen looking at the red string on his wrist in the moonlight and grinning foolishly.

She blinked, making sure she wasn't seeing things, then reached out and touched his chin, her voice sleepy, "Shen Mochen, aren't you going to sleep yet? You have to get up early for work tomorrow."

Caught red-handed, Shen Mochen froze for two seconds before nonchalantly withdrawing his hand. "Yeah, I'm sleeping."

"Okay," Yu Nanqing replied, then closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

She woke up again in the middle of the night, wanting to go to the bathroom. As soon as she got up, she saw that Shen Mochen was unusually not holding her tightly, but instead looking at his phone with his back to her.

Although the light was dim, she could still see it.

Did Shen Mochen not sleep all night?

She hesitated for two seconds, frowned, and silently leaned forward. As soon as she saw the words "villain" in the system search bar on her phone, Shen Mochen moved, turned off his phone, and tried to pretend to sleep.

Upon seeing his action, Yu Nanqing knew that he must have noticed that she was awake.

She sighed softly, almost laughing in exasperation, then rolled over and pressed herself against Shen Mochen, brushing her fingers against his trembling eyelashes. "Shen Mochen, are you asleep?"

"... "

Receiving no response, she called out again, "Shen Mochen?"

"... "

Still receiving no response, Yu Nanqing leaned down and bit his cheek. "But I felt you... move."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man who had been pretending to be dead beneath her stirred. His face, flushed red in the darkness, turned red and pulled her into his arms. His tone was somewhat clenched through gritted teeth as he said, "My dear, have you forgotten that I am a virile and vigorous man?"

Yu Nanqing retorted, "Who told you to pretend to be asleep? I saw you looking through your phone."

Shen Mochen, feeling guilty, gently cupped her restless hand in his own. "Did I disturb you?"

"No." Yu Nanqing shook his head honestly, "I woke up because I needed to go to the toilet."

After saying that, she broke free from Shen Mochen's grasp, turned over, put on her shoes, turned on the bedside lamp, and glanced at Shen Mochen again. "You're not allowed to sleep. I have something to tell you when I get back."

Shen Mochen looked at her, paused for two seconds, and raised his chin. "Okay, I'll wait for you."
