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

Chapter 36 Jealousy

After all, Butler Liu has been coming to Shuijun Bay every day these past few days, and every time he comes, he talks about Miss Xia.

She sometimes admired Old Master Shen. Other wealthy families cultivated an image of family harmony, but he kept trying to make the Shen family known as a family of mistresses.

Shen Mochen has led the Shen family to international prominence and made them a leading business force in China.

I really don't know why Old Master Shen is so insistent on arranging a business marriage for Shen Mochen.

However, Shen Mochen didn't seem to put up any significant resistance.

Thinking of this, Yu Nanqing paused.

That's true. Compared to her, the Shen family is definitely more important.

Besides, she'll be leaving in less than six months, so these things aren't her concern. All she needs to do is ensure that Old Master Shen isn't provoked into making a move against her during these six months.

Since their falling out, Sophie Ma hasn't come to see her. But I heard from my aunt that she seems to have taken on a short drama recently and is leaving early and returning late every day.

Yu Nanqing nodded, resting his chin on his hand, thinking to himself that Sophia was a career-oriented ideal woman.

"If you're feeling bored, Madam, you can come to the backyard and chat with us," Aunt Chen said as she finished tidying up the kitchen and prepared to leave.

"Mmm," Yu Nanqing responded softly, picking out the corn from her bowl and eating it.

Shen Mochen came home very early today. She was just about to have a couple of bites of ice cream when her hand was grabbed before she even touched the ice cream jar.

"What are you doing, sweetie?" Shen Mochen stood behind her, loosening his tie with one hand, glancing down at her. "Want some ice cream?"

“…Hmm.” Yu Nanqing responded softly, “Just a couple of bites.”

"No, sweetie." Shen Mochen frowned as he picked her up and carried her to the side, uttering sweet words while his hands moved with utmost care.

After closing the refrigerator door, he turned to look at her again, saying, "Last time, she only ate one bite and then had diarrhea that night."

As he spoke, he reached out and pinched her pouting lips, then leaned down and gave her a quick kiss. "Pouting won't help unless you obediently agree to let me feed you mouth-to-mouth."

As he spoke, he had already taken off his coat and unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt, revealing his chest muscles just right.

Yu Nanqing's expression stiffened slightly, "You pervert!"

"Hmm, the pervert is now exercising his rights to punish Qingqing, who only eats vegetables and not meat." Shen Mochen glanced at the meat left in her bowl, and while speaking, he pretended to roll up his sleeves.

“I ate it.” Yu Nanqing frowned.

"Eat just a little bit." Shen Mochen lifted her into a chair. "This afternoon we still have to go to the old house to deal with those cunning old foxes. What if you faint if you don't eat more?"

Hearing his coaxing tone, Yu Nanqing blushed slightly, opened her mouth to take the rice he fed her, and said with an unnatural expression, "I'm not a child."

"Not a child, but my little darling." Shen Mochen spoke in a tender tone, his eyes looking at her as if he wanted to soak her in a honey pot.

"So cheesy." Yu Nanqing blushed and turned her head away, her heart itching.

--

"Brother Mo Chen!"

As soon as the two entered the old house, a petite figure rushed towards them like a cannonball.

Yu Nanqing's eyelashes trembled slightly. Before she could react, Shen Mochen hugged her and pressed her against the wall. She watched helplessly as the person rushing towards her missed and fell to the ground.

The woman who had fallen to the ground remained silent for a moment, then got up on her own, her eyes brimming with tears, the corners of her reddened eyes trembling, her whole body exuding an alluring charm.

She sniffed bravely, then looked up at Shen Mochen, who was guarding her like a thief. "Brother Mochen, I'm so happy to see you."

She was like a little sun, full of energy, and her clear, bright eyes were filled with Shen Mochen.

She had come over at least three times since I sat down on the sofa, either to offer me water or fruit, and each time she called me "Brother Mo Chen" sweetly.

Yu Nanqing glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, feeling extremely annoyed.

She took a sip of water, then turned and glared at Shen Mochen.

Is this scoundrel just silently accepting Miss Xia's advances without making any gesture?

Shen Mochen's attention was entirely on her. He paused for two seconds when she looked over as he played with her fingers. He turned his head and casually kissed her cheek. "Bored? Let me take you to my room."

Before Yu Nanqing could refuse, he led her toward the elevator.

Shen Mochen's room was on the fourth floor. He lived there from the time he returned from abroad until he turned eighteen.

His room is cleaned every day, so it is always spotless and doesn't have the damp smell of someone who hasn't lived there for a long time.

The room has a minimalist style and very few belongings, giving you the feeling that you're ready to leave at any time after checking in.

Yu Nanqing looked around and her gaze settled on the colorful cartoon boxes in the cabinet.

The box simply stood out so much in the predominantly black and white room that she noticed it.

Shen Mochen wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his head on her shoulder. His original intention in bringing her up here was not to upset her, and also to take advantage of her.

Following her gaze, he saw the box and his brow twitched slightly.

"Want to see?" he asked, tilting his head and taking the opportunity to kiss her cheek.

Yu Nanqing was taken aback, "...You can see it?"

"Of course." Shen Mochen gently bit her lip, then moved away from her and handed her the box.

He pulled her into his arms again and sat on the edge of the bed, gesturing for her to open up.

The box had a combination lock. Shen Mochen covered her hand and pressed the locks one by one.

Upon opening the box, Yu Nanqing was momentarily stunned; the password was her birthday.

The box contained a pile of cards and photos. The cards were all portraits of Shen Mochen, and the photos were of "Yu Nanqing" during her student days.

She paused, her expression slightly stiffening.

So, Shen Mochen and "Yu Nanqing" actually knew each other long ago, and had already developed feelings for each other?

Her brow twitched slightly, her delicate eyebrows furrowed a little, and her fingertips gently caressed the card.

After a moment, she forced a smile, inwardly sneering.

The original owner of this body really does resemble her quite a bit; their drawing styles are exactly the same.

However, Shen Mochen... liked the original owner of this body.

She really thought he had fallen in love with her at first sight, but it turned out she was just deluding herself.

"My dear, do you still remember?" Shen Mochen buried his head and gently rubbed against her fragrant hair.

She was like a wisp of smoke in the past, leaping into his world and leaving a rainbow before disappearing without a trace.

That's why he was immediately smitten when they met again, and went to great lengths to keep her by his side.

He didn't understand why, even though the Yu family was in City A, he had never run into his darling, nor had he discovered even the slightest trace of her.

Yu Nanqing lowered her head to avoid his touch, closed the box expressionlessly, and then got out of his arms. "I don't remember."

After speaking, she paused for two seconds and added, "Unimportant things... there's no need to remember them."

Shen Mochen was slightly taken aback, his eyes dimmed for a moment, then he smiled again, "Well, none of that matters anymore. What matters is that my darling is already my wife."
