Chapter 126 So they came to harm him
That's incredibly clever.
Before Shen Mochen could find an excuse to tell Yu Nanqing that he was going out that night, Yu Nanqing sent him a message saying that she was having dinner with friends and would be back late.
He stared quietly at the message on his phone screen, his mood brightening considerably.
I'll be back late.
Who's at the dinner party?
Could there be other men? Could they steal her heart? Could they have ulterior motives towards her? Could there be…
Suspicion and unease flooded his mind, making him somewhat emotionally unstable. Once he calmed down, he found himself standing where the small red dot on his phone's GPS tracker was aligned with the location.
He sat in the car, glancing sideways at the building above.
The glass in the teahouse is transparent, allowing a clear view of anything happening upstairs.
His beautiful wife happened to be sitting by the window.
The teahouse must have been air-conditioned. A cute, fluffy coat was draped behind her chair, and she was wearing a light pink undershirt. A faint smile graced her fair, jade-like face as she occasionally chatted with the woman opposite her.
My daughter is so pretty, I wonder how many people she attracts attention.
Shen Mochen slowly withdrew his gaze, his fingertips almost digging into his palm, dark waves churning in his dark eyes.
He should get used to it; he has to get used to it.
It's impossible for Guai Guai to never go out, never interact with others, and certainly not to satisfy his selfish desires by keeping himself completely covered up.
My heart ached twice, and then the phone next to me suddenly started playing music.
Shen Mochen came to his senses, glanced to the side, saw the caller ID, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he reached out to answer, "Sweetie."
"Shen Mochen, I think I saw your car. Did you come to Yue Ran Tea House?" Yu Nanqing stood in the tea house corridor, her eyes downcast, and could see the black Rolls-Royce downstairs.
She glanced at it casually when she came out to use the restroom, and it looked familiar, so she called to ask.
When she heard the other person say no, she hesitated for a moment, but then she felt that Shen Mochen wouldn't lie to her now, so she relaxed and said, "I'm drawing comics with my colleagues here, and I saw a black car downstairs that looks a lot like yours."
“It should be the same model of car,” Shen Mochen replied without changing his expression.
Even if he hadn't told you, your son would never have known that this car was a limited edition worldwide, and that he was the only one of its kind.
"What are you doing?" Yu Nanqing looked away, pressed her finger on the glass, and created a few wisps of fog, just enough to draw a circle.
"I've taken my medicine and I'm going to sleep for a while."
"Okay, then you get some rest. I'll bring you something delicious when I get back tonight." Yu Nanqing raised her eyebrows and turned to face the other side.
Although he couldn't see her face, Shen Mochen could still hear the joy in her voice.
He seemed to be in a better mood; he lowered his eyes and then raised his eyebrows.
After hanging up the phone, he drove to the Sign Bar and followed the system's instructions to a private room on the third floor.
He stopped in front of the door, took out the room key that had suddenly appeared in his bag, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and his eyes held an unreadable emotion.
Urged by the system, he swiped his card and entered the room. It was no different from a normal room, except for the strange fragrance that could be smelled as soon as he entered.
He glanced around the room, his gaze landing on the incense burning on the bedside table. He took a small step, about to go over and extinguish it, when the system stopped him.
【That's a key plot item!】 The system reacted rather strongly, only realizing something was amiss after the words had been spoken. It swallowed hard and cautiously glanced at Shen Mochen.
Shen Mochen glanced at it, his eyes devoid of emotion. He withdrew his hand, gave a soft reply, turned his feet, and surveyed the entire room.
He pushed open the window and looked down. It was a patch of rose bushes and thorns; if he fell down, he would either be crushed to death or impaled.
The system, unaware of what he was looking at, nervously watched the time and, nearing the hour, urged him, "Go into the bathroom now and turn on the water."
Shen Mochen turned around readily, obeyed its command and went into the bathroom. He turned on the faucet, but as soon as he twisted the switch, the water sprayed out uncontrollably and splashed all over him.
He glanced down at his soaked clothes, then looked up at the bathroom, his gaze settling on the towels on the wall. [Should I change into these?]
The system froze slightly, swallowing back the words it was about to say. Its eyes flickered, and it nodded. [Mm.]
The bath towel was short, clearly a women's style; it only reached Shen Mochen's knees. He hung his clothes on the wall and picked up a hairdryer to dry them.
Seeing his actions, the system frowned. "What are you doing?"
"Drying the clothes, are you going to go out naked if you don't dry them? That won't do, I have a wife, she'll be jealous." Shen Mochen didn't even glance at it, continuing to dry the clothes with complete focus.
The system frowned, looked up at the time again, and seeing that it was still early, relaxed, crossed its arms, leaned against the wall, and quietly watched him.
Ten minutes later, Shen Mochen finished drying his clothes. As he turned off the hairdryer, a commotion broke out outside the door.
Shen Mochen glanced sideways, a flicker of unreadable emotion crossing his eyes.
"That's it! I just saw a handsome young man come in, and then that bastard came in right after him!"
"Sister Juan, that scumbag is a shameless bastard. He deceived your feelings and used your money to support his mistress!"
The woman in the mink coat also looked unwell. She glanced at the trembling man in the corner, and, unable to contain her anger, slapped him hard across the face. Then, her gaze fell directly on the bathroom door.
She heard a noise when she came in; the male model must be inside.
"Smash it!" she ordered sharply, her brows furrowing slightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two men beside him walked over with sticks in their hands.
Unfortunately, before the stick could be raised, the bathroom door was opened.
Wrapped in a bath towel, the handsome man leaned lazily against the door, his face frozen with an icy aura that kept strangers at bay.
Everyone was stunned, intimidated by the chill emanating from him, and stood there holding their sticks, at a loss.
The man who had spoken a moment ago finally came to his senses, "Sister Juan, it's this duck!"
The woman who was called was completely stunned. Looking at the devastatingly handsome man in front of her, her heart trembled slightly, and her mind was filled with the screams of a groundhog.
She had never seen such a handsome man before!
However, she felt that this person looked somewhat familiar, and that he looked strangely like her famous brother-in-law.
However, that guy would never be a male model.
She couldn't help but swallow, a smile spreading across her face.
She felt that her wonderful life was about to begin.
Shen Mochen glanced at her, and listening to the system's encouragement, his icy eyes grew even colder. He moved his lips and slowly asked, "Is there something you need?"
Seeing that he didn't say what he expected, the system got angry. [What I said was...come at me!]
【Shut up. 】
Shen Mochen's aura was frighteningly cold, and he roughly guessed what the system wanted to do.
It wanted to take the opportunity to have him beaten to death by this woman's lackeys, or at the very least, to give him the reputation of a dirty, despicable man.
