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

Shen Mochen returned quickly; he pushed open the door and came in before Yu Tu had even finished making the first dish.

Hearing the sound, Yu Nanqing, who was picking vegetables, peeked out. Not daring to be too enthusiastic in front of Yu Tu, she just smiled at Shen Mochen and said, "You're back."

"Mm." Shen Mochen responded, changed his shoes and came in. Before Yu Tu turned her head, he kissed her cheek, then went to wash his hands. "Dad, I'll do it."

Yu Tu turned to look at him, then at Yu Nanqing who was picking vegetables on the table. Her gaze fell on the unevenly picked vegetable leaves. After a moment of silence, she raised her elbow and pushed him away. "No need. I've come all this way, so I'm making some hometown flavors for Yu Nanqing."

"Then I'll help you." Shen Mochen said in a humble yet assertive tone, turning around and sitting down next to Yu Nanqing, picking the vegetables she had put into the vegetable bag again.

Yu Nanqing glanced at the vegetable leaves he had picked off, frowned slightly, and said to him in a low voice, "What a waste."

Shen Mochen raised an eyebrow, mimicking her tone, his voice almost becoming a bubble, "It's too old, it'll be too tough to chew when it's stir-fried."

"Is that so?" Yu Nanqing looked doubtful. She was a little tired from picking the vegetables, so she pushed the rest of the vegetables in front of him and leaned back to support her waist.

Shen Mochen grabbed her hand that was about to touch her stomach, took out a wet wipe and wiped it for her, then lowered his head and bit her cheek, "Little lazy cat."

Yu Nanqing hummed twice, and after he finished wiping, he deftly slipped Bing Qinqin's hand under the hem of her clothes and placed it on her stomach to cover her hand.

But she was caught again before she could even touch him twice. Shen Mochen looked at her and sighed.

She moved quite quickly in the short time it took him to turn his head.

"Your stomach can't get cold," he said seriously, then pulled her hand and tucked it into his clothes, placing it directly on his warm abs.

Yu Nanqing looked at him, her ears turning slightly red. She lightly tapped the tiles on the ground with her toes. Only after he went to pick vegetables did she look up at Yu Tu, afraid that he would catch her off guard and make her feel ashamed.

Five minutes later, the sound of stir-frying in the pot finally stopped. Yu Nanqing hurriedly pulled her hand away, then glanced at the vegetable bag in front of Shen Mochen, pulled it in front of her, and pretended to pick up a vegetable that had already been picked and continue picking.

Yu Tu turned around, picked up the vegetable bag, glanced at the vegetables inside, and knew perfectly well who had picked them, but he would never praise the man who had abducted his precious daughter in front of her.

He silently washed the vegetables, then quickly began cooking the second dish.

He suddenly stopped halfway through cooking, turned to look at the two people sitting together, and his brow furrowed slightly. "Hey Xiao Shen, can you beat me five eggs? I'm making egg rolls later."

"Okay." Shen Mochen replied, took five eggs from the refrigerator, and was about to turn back to the table to crack them when he was stopped again.

"Xiao Shen, could you cover the first dish with a lid for me?"

"it is good."

After finishing everything, he tidied up the kitchen counter and waited until Yu Tu finished making the last dish before serving it to Yu Nanqing and sitting down opposite him.

Seeing his performance, Yu Tu's stern face gradually relaxed.

If the collaboration falls through, he'll have to go back by the day after tomorrow at the latest, as there's a ton of work waiting for him at the company.

Therefore, we need to hurry up and investigate Shen Mochen.

Being good to Yu Xiaoqing is the most important thing. Not to mention unconditionally fulfilling Yu Xiaoqing's requests, at the very least, you can't hit or scold her, and you have to pamper her at all times.

Otherwise, Yu Tu's daughter could have any number of wealthy husbands she wanted.

Although I'm not as wealthy as Shen Mochen, I can still live a luxurious life.

As usual, Shen Mochen served Yu Nanqing a lot of food, picking out every last fish bone.

Yu Tu kept a close eye on his movements, and seeing this, her satisfaction level increased considerably.

In front of Yu Tu, Yu Nanqing couldn't be too relaxed. Unlike when she was alone with Shen Mochen, she didn't dawdle and ate one bite after another.

She usually eats slowly, so much so that she kept hiccuping after finishing this meal, and her eyebrows were tightly furrowed in discomfort.

After washing the dishes, Shen Mochen brought her some warm water and said, "Drink it slowly and sweetly."

Yu Nanqing listened to him and drank it in small sips, but she still couldn't feel better after drinking a cup and kept hiccuping.

To avoid making a fool of herself in front of Yu Tu, she went into the room after finishing her meal. Now, she looked utterly hopeless and was lying in his arms, hiccuping so hard that her chest ached.

Shen Mochen called the family doctor to ask for advice, but before he could ask, there was a sudden knock on the door. Both of them were startled. Yu Nanqing hurriedly got up from his lap and sat properly on the edge of the bed, her eyes darting around, looking for an excuse for the two of them to be in the room.

Shen Mochen replied to the message on the other end of the line, then got up to open the door. When he met the eyes of the man in front of him, his eyebrows twitched slightly. "Dad."

Yu Tu glanced around the room. "Xiao Shen, I want to talk to you."

“…Okay.” Shen Mochen paused for two seconds. “But Dad might have to wait a while. Qingqing has been hiccuping since she ate and isn’t feeling well. I’m asking the doctor. I’ll come to see you when she feels better.”

"Hiccups? Hiccups are just holding your breath, they'll be fine after a while." Yu Tu turned his gaze back to Yu Nanqing.

“I tried it, but it didn’t work.” Yu Nanqing shook her head. Only after she finished speaking did she realize that she seemed to have stopped hiccuping. She paused for two seconds, then her eyes lit up. “It’s not hiccuping anymore, it seems to have stopped.”

They were probably frightened just now.

But it feels so good that I'm not burping anymore.

Shen Mochen snapped out of his reverie, his tightly furrowed brows relaxing slightly. He turned back to look at Yu Tu and asked, "Dad, shall we go to the living room to talk?"

"Mm." Yu Tu nodded and turned to walk towards the living room.

Yu Nanqing wasn't worried that Shen Mochen would be bullied by his father, but she was a little concerned that her father's words might be too harsh and cause Shen Mochen to go crazy.

The two talked for almost an hour. When Shen Mochen came back, he hugged and kissed her. Yu Nanqing had a bad feeling. She pushed his face away and frowned slightly. "What did Dad say to you?"

"They say our little darling is a precious gem, a treasure that must be cherished and pampered."

Yu Nanqing paused, blushing for a moment, "Glib-tongued."

"Dad said I have to treat you well, or he'll beat me to death." Shen Mochen's chin was still resting on her fingers. He lowered his eyes and held them, his brows slightly downcast. "What should I do? It seems like my sweetheart has a powerful backer now. Will she be able to stay in her place?"

Yu Nanqing was taken aback, looked up at him, and asked, "You don't want me to be happy?"

"I can make sure Guai Guai lives a good life. Guai Guai has enough of me." Shen Mochen made no attempt to hide his inner darkness.

Yu Nanqing pursed her lips, leaned forward and hugged him, "I will not leave you, I swear."

"Anyone can say that, sweetie." Shen Mochen playfully pinched her nose, his tone ambiguous, his eyes seemingly veiled by a thin film.
