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

After breakfast, Shen Mochen received a message from the president of a well-known company in Huaibei, inviting him to play golf.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, looked up and met Yu Nan's curious eyes, and smiled slightly. He didn't hide anything, "I met a company president a while ago. He asked me to play golf at eleven o'clock."

Yu Nanqing paused in drinking her milk, thought for two seconds, and asked, "He wants to give you a chance?"

"Maybe," Shen Mochen replied lightly. They had chatted before, and the other party seemed to be somewhat interested in him.

"Then go ahead." Yu Nanqing was genuinely happy for him, and also a little surprised, after all, it had only been a little over a month, and someone had already appreciated Shen Mochen's abilities.

"Hmm, shall we go see him this afternoon, and then visit your father tonight?" Shen Mochen responded, then raised his eyes to ask tentatively.

Yu Nanqing paused, her eyes changing slightly. She lowered her gaze and finished eating the eggs on her plate. After a while, she replied, "Let's do it another day. What if that CEO invites you to play golf and then invites you to dinner to talk about work? If that happens twice, you probably won't be back until very late."

Seeing that she didn't want to take him back, Shen Mochen's eyes flickered, a hint of unreadable emotion flashing in them. He put down his chopsticks, looked up, and nodded, "Yes, that makes sense."

It's a little past 9:30 in the morning now, so it should take about the same time to get there by taxi.

Seeing that he had finished breakfast, Yu Nanqing looked up at him, met his straight black eyes, her gaze unfocused, and swallowed the egg that was stuck in her throat with difficulty. "You don't need to wait for me. You can get ready to go now. The timing is just right. I'll wash the dishes later."

"No rush, I'll wait until you finish eating and get ready before we go." Shen Mochen leaned back, slowly pulling away the feet that had been intimately clamping her legs, his tone noticeably harsher.

Yu Nanqing paused, sensing the awkward atmosphere. Her brow twitched slightly, but she insisted, "No need, I... I still have a while before I finish eating."

As she spoke, she pretended to take the sandwich that she had originally intended to give to Shen Mochen, which she couldn't finish, and put it into the plate in front of her. She squeezed some strawberry jam on it and took two bites.

She took a small bite, only damaging the surface of the sandwich.

"It's alright, I'll wait for you, there's still time." Shen Mochen continued to stare at her, responding without changing his expression, his tone indifferent and devoid of emotion.

Yu Nanqing keenly sensed his unusual mood and knew perfectly well why he was secretly arguing with her.

But sending Shen Mochen back to the Yu family with her now would be like sending a lamb to the slaughter.

Although the Yu family is facing a pressing situation, that's internal. Externally, the Yu family remains the renowned and prestigious family in Huaibei, and the Yu family that consistently tops the business rankings.

Countless companies still want to curry favor with the Yu family.

Shen Mochen and she are now helpless, penniless and powerless. If they offend Yu's father, being blacklisted in the industry is just a matter of a simple word from him.

When that time really comes, they will really have to sleep under bridges.

They might even be chased away by beggars or dogs sent by the Yu family if they were to sleep under a bridge.

The Yu family might not let them go until she compromises and marries the person they've arranged for her, or until they die.

She didn't want to say it directly because she knew Shen Mochen's personality.

With his vindictive nature, if he knew the Yu family treated her particularly badly, he might burn down her villa and cause chaos in the Yu family for a while.

Of course, she hoped the Yu family would suffer such a fate, but this would only be a short-lived blow to them. After that, Yu's father would definitely find the culprit and come after them, forcing them to wander and suffer again.

She didn't want this, not at all.

Even without money or her parents' consent, she was willing to live a slightly frugal life.

So after Shen Mochen refused again, she froze for two seconds, then lowered her eyes and continued to eat her sandwich in small bites, "Whatever."

At this rate, she probably won't finish eating in less than an hour.

Moreover, she even put it on a plate and ate it with a fork, so Shen Mochen couldn't wash the dishes until she finished eating.

Her actions clearly showed that she was determined to oppose him to the very end.

Shen Mochen could tell at a glance. He rubbed his fingertips together lightly, feeling somewhat agitated. He stared at Yu Nanqing for a while longer before finally giving in and getting up to walk outside.

There's not much to tidy up.

He changed his clothes, put his keys in his pocket, and was ready to leave.

As he approached the entrance, he bent down to change his shoes, but the sound of dishes clattering in the kitchen kept coming to his ears.

The noise only fueled his restlessness.

He let out a soft sigh, finally losing his backbone, and turned back cowardly, cupping Yu Nanqing's face and kissing her twice, "Be a good girl and wait for me to come back. Call me if anything happens."

As he finished speaking, the unease in his eyes was almost overflowing, but he held back and didn't show it. He just glanced at the sandwich on the plate that had barely been touched and said, "If you can't eat it, don't force yourself."

"Do you know how to use the dishwasher?" he asked, turning back to the dishwasher to demonstrate it to her. He only let go after she said she understood, then hugged her and kissed her again. "I'll have the housekeeper come over to cook lunch for you. Your father might be looking for you. Promise me you won't go out today, okay?"

Listening to his rambling, Yu Nanqing suddenly realized that she had been a bit unreasonable. Her eyes filled with tears, and she nodded gently, "Yes, I know. Come back soon, drink less alcohol, and be careful."

"Okay." Hearing her concern for him, Shen Mochen's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. He reached out and pinched her cheek again before reluctantly letting go.

If he could, he would even want to carry her on his body, never leaving her side.

He was actually afraid every day before going out, and he had to pray before he could leave.

He was terrified. He was afraid that when he came back, he would be faced with an empty room, that he would search every corner but not find his darling, and that she would leave him without a word.

He couldn't keep her before, and now that he has no money, no power, and no ability to give her whatever she wants or buy whatever she wants, he has even less confidence in keeping her.

He has an extreme lack of security, so even after repeatedly probing and asking for reassurance, he still feels uneasy and fearful.

He's the kind of person who's not suited for romance, yet he's hopelessly in love with a woman he can't control.

She repeatedly shattered his possessiveness and controlling nature, inevitably turning him into a pitiful, jealous, and love-starved puppy.

The wild and unrestrained wings have been folded and concealed, leaving only caution and appropriate demands.

He looked up and slowly loosened his grip on her.

Before pulling away completely, he grabbed her hand pleadingly, "Be a good girl and wait for me to come back, okay? Don't go out."

Yu Nanqing nodded, leaned over and hugged him, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back obediently, and I won't go out."
