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

Chapter 150 Contentment

Sure enough, he got slapped for being so cheeky. But he hadn't received such a reward in a long time, and he was so excited that he forgot all about his own worth and his current status.

"Want to try, sweetie? Cancel today's work, and I promise to make sure you're well-fed and watered." With a slap mark on his face, he stretched out his long arm and trapped her between the sink and the bathroom counter.

He spoke gently, thinking that the girl in his arms wouldn't understand the hidden meaning in his words.

Unfortunately, Yu Nanqing had already realized this and was quite shrewd. "You just don't want me to go out, do you?"

After saying that, she bent down and crawled out from under his arm. Not long after she went out, she came back like a boomerang, "Shen Mochen, I'm actually a pitiful little thing here without my parents' love. This job is very important to me. If I lose it, I won't be able to buy you gifts, clothes, or shoes."

Shen Mochen wasn't angry at all. He hadn't held out much hope when he tested her earlier, but now, hearing her coaxing, his heart softened instantly.

He should be content; at least he received some comfort after his absurd request was rejected.

He turned around, strode out, pulled the person into his arms, and kissed them for a long time.

Even Qiuqiu couldn't stand it anymore, wagging its tail and swaying over. Only then did he slowly let go, glancing at it sideways with a cold tone, "Silly dog, go eat your meat strips."

Feeling embarrassed, Yu Nanqing glanced awkwardly at Qiuqiu, whose eyes were gleaming.

When Shen Mochen first got her dog, he hired a dog trainer. Only after Qiuqiu was trained to be smart and obedient was Shen Mochen allowed her to touch it.

The dog trainer said at the time that Qiuqiu was very smart and loved to imitate people.

Therefore, she deliberately avoided having close contact with Shen Mochen in front of Qiuqiu, for fear that it would learn from her.

But now, there's really no way to avoid it.

And judging from its tilted head and bright, cheerful appearance, it's probably thinking of something naughty.

Fortunately, it was an obedient dog. After Shen Mochen finished speaking, it turned around and went back to continue eating the meat strips.

After breakfast, the two went out.

The car Shen Mochen has been driving these past two days was provided by the company. Once he stays with the company for ten years, he will own the car.

In less than ten years, let alone whether he will stay that long, even the best car's performance will probably deteriorate.

Although they weren't going the same way, Shen Mochen insisted on giving Yu Nanqing a ride. Only after Yu Nanqing's strong insistence did he refrain from following her directly into the company to assert his ownership.

Because of this, Shen Mochen arrived at the company right on time, and Lin Xu, who had been waiting since early morning, was so impatient that the flowers seemed to wither before he finally saw him.

He really didn't go home or sleep last night, relying on coffee to keep going, so this morning he was full of energy except for some dark circles under his eyes.

Upon seeing someone enter the office, he immediately takes out the notes he made while studying last night and tries to curry favor.

Because he genuinely knew nothing about business, he insisted on sharing an office with Shen Mochen, his assistant, on his first day at the company to avoid spreading rumors.

Such things are uncommon, but it makes sense for a notorious playboy like Lin Xu to happen, and of course, no one dares to object.

Shen Mochen took the document from his hand, opened the first page, and was stunned.

The drawing above is a map.

The map was bad enough, but the names of the locations marked on it had many typos.

Shen Mochen frowned and drew two lines, then turned to the second page and immediately put down his pen.

The little red dot on the map was incredibly familiar; it was clearly the little red dot that had moved when he checked Yu Nanqing's location yesterday.

They even wrote down every single place their child had ever been, and added their own annotations around it, noting how many times the child had visited each place.

His brows furrowed, and he glanced at Lin Xu's bright, pleading expression, which seemed to be begging for praise. Without changing his expression, he slammed the notebook down on the table. "That's all you wrote down?"

Lin Xu paused, not understanding what he meant. After hesitating for two seconds, he nodded. "Yeah, Brother Shen, I stayed up all night last night and read through most of the documents on my desk. I read this first one the most carefully and meticulously, and I annotated everything I knew on it."

“I think Brother Shen put this map on the table to tell me that the most likely partners for the Lin Group will appear in these locations,” Lin Xu boldly stated his guess, then opened his notebook in front of him and pointed to the map on the first page.

"This is a map of the entire Huaibei area. This place is the largest shopping mall in Huaibei. The company next to it is a well-known publishing house in Huaibei. This is a comic entertainment company. It used to be under the Jiang Group, but after the Jiang family heir got into trouble, it was acquired by a foreign capitalist."

Upon hearing his words, Shen Mochen's eyes changed slightly, and he interrupted him with an inscrutable expression, "The Jiang family?"

"Brother Shen knows them?" Upon hearing his question, Lin Xu naturally told him in detail, "The Jiang family used to be a giant in Huaibei, on par with the Yu family. The wives of the two families have known each other since childhood, and they were pregnant at the same time. By fate, their child was betrothed before it was even born."

"After the children of the two families were born, their relationship became even closer than that of normal childhood sweethearts because their homes were close together. As the time for their marriage approached, the marriage was brought up again."

"However, a dramatic event occurred a month before their engagement. Miss Yu, Young Master Jiang, and the adopted daughter of the Yu family went on a graduation trip. Who would have thought that only Young Master Jiang and the adopted daughter of the Yu family would return that day?"

"Brother Shen, guess what? It turns out that Miss Yu fell off a cliff and is now in a vegetative state!"

"In order to maintain their relationship, the two families arranged for the eldest son of the Jiang family to get engaged to the adopted daughter of the Yu family."

"What's even more dramatic is that less than a week after their engagement, Miss Yu woke up and crippled Young Master Jiang. She also sent Young Master Jiang and his adopted daughter to the No. 1 Madhouse in Huaibei, a place where no one can escape without being spitting out bones."

"This is strange. Nobody knows what happened, but people outside are saying that Miss Yu's fall off the cliff was not an accident, but because she caught Young Master Jiang having an affair with his adopted daughter, so she was pushed off."

"Moreover, after this incident, Mr. Yu, who often made headlines for his doting on his daughter, announced on various media outlets that he was severing his father-daughter relationship with Miss Yu that very night."

As Shen Mochen listened to him speak, a thick fog settled between his brows and eyes.

He had never heard Yu Nanqing mention these things.
