Shen Zhao did not have a deep impression of Shengjing. In her limited life, it seemed that she had never set foot in Shengjing, let alone seen what Shengjing was like.

When Mu Yanchen said he wanted to take her to Shengjing, she was surprised for a moment, but when she thought about what Guan Qi had investigated, she felt it understandable, because the head of the Mu family was in Shengjing!

Mu Yanchen hugged her from behind and sat on the sofa, his chin resting on her shoulder. His hot breath sprayed on her neck, making her feel itchy. She shrank to the other side, but was restrained by Mu Yanchen and could not move for a while.

Small bumps gradually appeared on the delicate and smooth skin, and the tiny, almost transparent hairs stood up straight, so cute.

Shen Zhao's face turned red and his head tilted to one side.

From Mu Yanchen's perspective, he could only see the graceful curve of her neck and her delicate and tempting earlobes, which shone with an irresistible luster under the light.

"Any questions?"

Mu Yanchen leaned close to Shen Zhao's ear and asked softly.

The lingering tone and the gradually rising temperature made Shen Zhao at a loss. What happened today? Why did Mu Yanchen act like this?

She tilted her head further, almost leaning on Mu Yanchen's arms, and said in a muffled voice: "No... I'm just a little surprised that even I was invited to Shengjing?"

"And...can you let go of my hand? It's so hot..."

After saying this, Shen Zhao felt even hotter.

"Um... no, don't you like me holding you like this?"

Mu Yanchen moved closer.

Shen Zhao shrank into his arms, his back pressed closer to his chest. He could feel the temperature rising through two layers of clothes. The person behind him could almost describe it as "boiling hot".

She said sullenly, "No, I just feel a little uncomfortable. What happened to you today?"

She finally turned her head.

Mu Yanchen curled the corners of his lips, his eyes filled with smiles. He lowered his head and moved closer, his lips just touching hers. He watched her eyes widen in shock, staring straight at him.

The smile in his eyes became more intense, and he let her go in just a moment. His eyes were replaced by worry, and he held her tighter, "I'm a little worried..."

"what?"

"Once you go to Shengjing, you must not leave my sight. Even I may not be able to protect you."

This was Mu Yanchen's true feelings. Although he was different now, since those people were able to kill the people he cared about within the scope of his control, it would only be more dangerous to be in their place.

Shen Zhao hesitated for a moment. Before, she was still concerned about the relationship between Mu Yanchen and his family, but today it sounded like that was not the case. As Guan Qi said, people in that position probably only have interests left.

"Thank you for telling me all this. You didn't treat me as an ignorant and weak person. You didn't let me hide behind you. Instead, you let me face it. Now that we know the danger, we should take precautions. Besides, they may not be able to deal with me who has been prepared for it!"

Shen Zhao's eyes gleamed. She had a feeling that the Mu family in Shengjing was not so simple to her. If she was just an ordinary college student, it would be fine, but in fact, she turned her head and glared at Mu Yanchen, "Do the people in your Mu family have the same disease as you?"

After a barely detectable moment of stunned silence, Mu Yanchen told her everything. He would rather she knew everything than let her die in ignorance like before. Only by knowing her own value and position could she better decide whether to stay or go.

"Yes, so they may use all kinds of tricks to fight for you, or they may destroy you if they can't get you," Mu Yanchen's eyes were unclear, "So, you have to be more careful, and I prefer you to stay where I can see you."

Shen Zhao broke free from his restraints, turned around and faced him, her eyes as determined as ever, just like before. She ignored the looks of the people around her and stayed with him resolutely. Her sincerity filled people's hearts, and then he listened to her words.

"But you know that's impossible. Even if I haven't met your family, and even worse, I haven't met your family, there will always be times when I'm careless. You can't always stay by my side."

Mu Yanchen was silent, but he knew that what Shen Zhao said made sense. He only regretted that he had not reached that position yet and could not protect her.

Just when he was feeling discouraged, he felt a warm and soft presence on the back of his hand. Mu Yanchen looked over and met her sparkling almond eyes. She smiled gently, like spring rain, moistening his dry heart and giving him the greatest courage.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Mu Yanchen's eyes were slightly red. It was all because of his powerlessness. Otherwise, why would she need to talk to him like this as Shen Zhao...

The time to go to Shengjing was set, and it was very tight, so it was arranged for the day after tomorrow, and the busiest person was Situ Rui.

Because of her injury, Lin Han was forced to stay in the manor with Ji Zhengxuan.

Because many security personnel will follow Mu Yanchen to Shengjing, in order to ensure the safety of Ye Shihua's medicinal herbs, Situ Rui decided to pack those herbs in boxes and take them to Shengjing together. They are safest only when they are with him!

When boarding the private plane, Shen Zhao once again had a clear understanding of Mu Yanchen's financial resources.

I heard from Situ Rui that this plane uses the most advanced military technology today, and the lining inside is extremely luxurious. It is not vulgar at first glance like a nouveau riche, but rather reflects the owner's taste. It is low-key but reflects the complexity of details everywhere.

The most important thing is that the designer Mu Yanchen uses is the kind who sees through the world. It’s not the type of person who will accept your order just because you offer a high price. Instead, it depends on his preferences. Since he is not short of money, sometimes he has to find someone who takes a chance.

So those designs can only be seen here by Mu Yanchen in the whole world.

Shen Zhao sat in his seat, touching the delicate carvings, and suddenly withdrew his hands for fear of damaging them.

Her sitting posture was extremely unnatural, her body was tense and she couldn't relax at all, and her eyes were looking around like a curious child, as if she came from a country girl and had never seen the world.

Situ Rui did indeed laugh at her like that.

But he couldn't resist Mu Yanchen's pampering of her. He reached out and pulled her to his seat. He hugged her from behind as if he had sat on the sofa before. "Will this be better?"

Shen Zhao seldom showed intimacy with Mu Yanchen in front of others, so at this moment, his face had already turned red, and he nodded almost imperceptibly, not caring whether he had ever seen the world or not.

Shengjing was just as in the picture. Shen Zhao couldn’t say how good he felt about it. He just felt that it was much drier than the south. Everything seemed harder and it didn’t have the silent and gentle feeling of the south. But this was where Mu Yanchen grew up.

Mu Yanchen did not take her back to the Mu residence immediately, but took her back to his home in Shengjing. After all, he also had property in Shengjing.
