Chapter 44 He couldn't stand hearing others talk about his wife.
Sophia returned to Water County Bay about a week later.
Her parents brought her back.
They came in, sat for a while, and then left. Yu's father didn't say anything, but Yu's mother kept nagging, patting Yu Nanqing's hand and telling her to take good care of her sister.
Yu Nanqing nodded repeatedly, oblivious to everything else, while Shen Mochen's face darkened, his eyes fixed on the hand that was being held by someone else.
Seeing that he was about to be photographed and his face turned red, he lowered his eyebrows slightly, pulled the person into his arms with his long arm.
His wife is a delicate woman who needs to be taken care of herself; how could she possibly take care of someone older than her?
Yu's mother paused, looked up in surprise, and a hint of displeasure appeared in her eyes.
She had no experience with the business world, so she didn't understand the seriousness of offending a business tycoon.
"Xiao Chen shouldn't spoil Qingqing. She should be able to support herself." She moved her lips, wanting to ask him to look after Fima's career, but then felt it wasn't appropriate to say it directly.
Thus, the words became a sinister and ironic contrast.
It's not obvious, but those who know you well will definitely be able to tell.
Shen Mochen slightly raised his cold eyes and glanced at her, "Auntie should set an example for others before she does so."
"My Qingqing owns dozens of houses and hundreds of millions in savings..."
Hearing him speak, not only Yu's parents but also Yu Nanqing were startled. She looked up at Shen Mochen with an expression of disbelief.
Shen Mochen raised an eyebrow at her and reached out to tuck a stray hair behind her ear. "Besides, my Qingqing is beautiful and has a charming personality. She's very popular. If she were to be coveted by someone else, wouldn't I be losing out?"
Yu's mother stared at him, her lips parted but she couldn't speak.
After seeing the person off, Shen Mochen impatiently pinned his wife against the door.
Sometimes he wished he could turn into a snake and entangle Yu Xiaoqing all the time.
Yu Nanqing's eyelashes trembled slightly. She glanced at him, traced a circle on his Adam's apple with her fingertip, and then pressed the small mole on his collarbone.
As he gasped and groaned, she was caught off guard and hoisted up by him, then thrown onto the soft bed amidst his disordered footsteps.
“Goodness…” Shen Mochen tugged at his tie, his voice hoarse.
"Shen Mochen, when did you transfer those assets to my name?" Yu Nanqing grabbed his clothes, slightly breathless from his kisses, and leaned out to ask him.
"I started planning this the day I married you." Shen Mochen pulled her back again, biting her red lips, his fingertips lingering on her beautiful body.
Everything he owns belongs to her, and of course, everything he owns belongs to her.
If she wanted his life, he would give it to her without hesitation, but on the condition that... she had to die with him.
Even in death, he would haunt her.
Yu Nanqing couldn't help but blush, her heart was pounding, and her mind was a complete mess. She thought that spending her whole life with Shen Mochen might not be so bad.
It wasn't until the system alert sounded that she snapped out of her daze. Her reason returned, and she kicked the seemingly tireless Shen Mochen, her voice hoarse as she spoke, "Water...I need water..."
The French windows were open, and the light pink curtains fluttered in the wind, their whistling sound drowned out by the patter of the rain.
"It's raining again, Shen Mochen."
“…Okay, I’ll go close the window.” Shen Mochen responded softly, kissed her forehead, pulled the blanket over her, and then got out of bed to close the window.
……
Having just recovered from a serious illness, Sophia mentioned to Yu Nanqing that she wanted to hold a party.
Yu Nanqing ate her shrimp dumplings, nodded, and didn't refuse. She then handed the gold-embossed black card that Shen Mochen had given her the night before to Sophia, telling her to find a nice hotel to handle the transaction.
Sophia took the card, and when she heard the last sentence, her expression froze for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke again, "Qingqing, I want to hold it in Shuijun Bay."
She had previously boasted to those rich girls at school that she lived in Shui Jun Wan.
A while ago, someone mentioned wanting to see how the places where business tycoons lived differed from theirs. She put on a brave face and hesitantly agreed.
I thought that once time passed, those people would forget about it, but someone brought it up again yesterday, and they seemed determined not to let her off the hook until they saw it.
Having no other choice, she had to bite the bullet and beg Yu Nanqing for help.
She's so annoyed right now. She shouldn't have made up those lies about being Shen Mochen's fiancée on the day she went to school, just to fit in with those elite circles as quickly as possible.
Yu Nanqing paused, hesitated slightly, swallowed the shrimp dumpling in his hand, and then looked up at her.
Shen Mochen doesn't like too many people coming to Shuijun Bay, even though he himself has never brought anyone in.
"Qingqing, I'm worried about handling things outside. What if there's a safety issue?" Sophia grabbed her hand and placed another chocolate from her bag on the table, along with the other three she had just given her.
This chocolate was given to her by Chen Qing, who said it was brought back from overseas and that each piece costs several hundred yuan.
She couldn't bear to eat it.
Yu Nanqing was easily swayed, and since Sophia often brought her food, she reluctantly nodded, "It can only be done in the backyard, okay?"
"Yes, Qingqing, you're so kind." Seeing that she agreed, Sophia breathed a sigh of relief and felt extremely happy.
Watching Sophia's light and cheerful figure leave, Yu Nanqing sighed. She would make up an excuse to make Shen Mochen come back later tonight.
Having received permission, Sophia immediately went to make the arrangements. Thinking there wouldn't be enough time, she bought a large amount of pastries, snacks, wine, and drinks.
Because she had bought too many things at once, Yu Nanqing, who was lying on the rocking chair on the balcony sunbathing, received a call from Shen Mochen.
She lazily lifted her eyes, reached over and picked up her phone from the cabinet, "Hello."
"What are you doing, Guai Guai?" Shen Mochen frowned as he saw a long list of snack and drink purchase records. He interrupted the meeting and immediately called her.
"Sunbathing," Yu Nanqing replied, her voice soft and sweet.
Shen Mochen's ears trembled slightly, and he felt a little itchy inside.
He wanted to go back and spend time with his wife right now.
The work that follows doesn't seem particularly important.
Tsk, might as well just leave work now.
He thought about it and turned to walk towards his office.
"Shen Mochen, how long until you're back tonight?" After chatting casually for a while, before Shen Mochen could even ask her about the expenses, she preemptively asked him.
"Did my sweetheart miss me?"
"Hmm." Yu Nanqing gave him a sweet treat, then guiltily whispered in a coquettish voice, "I want to eat the old-fashioned pastries from that shop in the east of the city. Could you buy me two boxes after get off work?"
That's a popular online store; the lines are always incredibly long.
It's perfectly fine to delay it for an hour or two.
Shen Mochen didn't think much of it and readily agreed.
If my wife wants to eat something, I naturally have to satisfy her.
Once his wife has finished eating, he can then legitimately take advantage of her.
As he thought about it, the upward curve of his eyebrows grew wider and wider.
The department directors, still sitting in the conference room, glanced left and right, but instead of seeing President Shen return, they received the news that the meeting was adjourned.
