A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

Shen Nian stood there stunned for a full two minutes before she came to her senses. Looking at the composed man sitting opposite her, she quickly said, "Uncle, I can stay in the school dormitory, there's no need to go to all this trouble..."

Mo Ze calmly raised his head and said leisurely, "Do you want what happened last night to happen again?"

Shen Nian was startled, and her face turned pale.

Of course she doesn't want to!

“Before dealing with the Lin family, you can stay here with me this week. Anyway, the project is about to start, and it will be easier to communicate. You can go back after school starts next week,” Mo Ze continued, his tone leaving no room for negotiation. He absolutely would not allow what happened last night to happen again.

Shen Nian knew, of course, that staying with the older man was the safest option, since she had nowhere else to go besides her school dormitory.

Especially when she thought about what happened last night, she couldn't help but tremble all over.

She might be lucky once or twice, but if it happens again, she can't guarantee she'll escape unscathed.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Uncle," Shen Nian said softly.

She knows perfectly well who is truly good to her.

I'm not that ungrateful.

After breakfast, Shen Nian volunteered to clear the dishes, saying, "Uncle, let me do it. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease staying here for the next week."

Mo Ze let go of her hand, letting Shen Nian take the bowls, chopsticks, and plates to the kitchen.

He didn't leave either, but leaned against the kitchen door frame, watching the people busy inside, and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

As if suddenly remembering something, he abruptly asked, "Do you know who else was involved in last night's events?"

Shen Nian paused in her washing of dishes, lowered her head, and her mood changed instantly.

She pursed her lips and remained silent. Having such family members who had harmed her time and time again was something she found difficult to talk about.

"It's your sister," Mo Ze pressed.

He didn't even use a questioning tone; he stated it with absolute certainty.

Shen Nian was taken aback, turned around, and looked at Mo Ze. "Uncle, how did you know...?"

“It’s not hard to find out,” Mo Ze replied directly, indicating that he had already investigated Shen Nian’s background.

Shen Nian turned around and put the bowl and chopsticks in her hand into the sterilizer. After wiping her hands clean, she spoke softly, "Actually, she is my half-sister. My mother has passed away, but right after she passed away, my father brought my stepmother and sister to live with us."

She explained her somewhat embarrassing family situation in two sentences, then tugged at the corners of her mouth and said in a seemingly relaxed tone, "However, I'll be graduating soon, and then I can earn my own living and won't have to get involved with them anymore."

"Where's that guy?" Moze suddenly asked again.

Shen Nian was taken aback. "What man?" She was a little confused.

"The guy who's with your sister, your... ex-fiancé!" Mo Ze crossed his legs, leaning lazily against the doorframe with his hands in his pockets. He mentioned it casually, but his eyes were actually glancing at Shen Nian, wanting to hear her answer.

Shen Nian realized he was referring to Chu Yunyi and immediately explained, "We've already dissolved our engagement and made things clear. Besides, he and Shen Ximan are already engaged and will be getting married soon." After saying that, she met Mo Ze's somewhat probing gaze and continued to explain, "Actually, our engagement was only a verbal agreement between our parents; we didn't have a formal ceremony."

After explaining, Shen Nian regretted it a little. Why did she say so much to the uncle? He hadn't even asked any of these questions.

Mo Ze suddenly walked towards her, approaching her step by step. Shen Nian subconsciously retreated until her back was against the wall. With nowhere to go, she hurriedly lowered her head.

Mo Ze leaned against the wall with one hand, his cool aura enveloping Shen Nian. Her mind seemed to freeze for a moment, unable to think straight.

"So, you like him?" Moze asked directly.

Shen Nian looked up, her face filled with astonishment.

He paused for a few seconds, then shook his head. "No, nothing."

Even if I ever felt that spark, it's long gone...

Mo Ze suddenly smiled, then reached out and ruffled Shen Nian's hair, saying affectionately, "I have to go out for a bit later. Be a good girl and stay home. You can use anything in the house. There's a computer and books in the study. You can go there if you want to read."

"Okay, okay, Uncle, you go ahead and do your thing," Shen Nian replied softly, her head down and face flushed.

Moze nodded in satisfaction, then changed his clothes and went out.

-

in the hospital.

Lin Shao, with his hands and feet in casts, was staying in a VIP ward and was being scolded by his father.

"Why did you have to mess with the JK Group? Have you lost your mind? They can drag our entire family down with them if they just lift a finger. You good-for-nothing brat, all you do is cause trouble! You're driving me crazy!"

Lin's father paced back and forth in the ward, panting heavily.

Lin Shao lay on the bed with a calm demeanor. "My arms and legs are broken, and I haven't even settled accounts with them yet. Don't worry, Dad, President Tang personally called an ambulance to bring me to the hospital. They definitely won't pursue the matter. It's not worth it for a woman."

"Hmph, that's for the best. You better behave yourself from now on and stop causing trouble." After scolding him, Lin's father left the ward with his hands behind his back.

After all, he was their only son, and they spoiled him from a young age, which led to him developing a lot of bad habits. Coupled with his mother's excessive pampering, this is why Lin Shao became so unruly.

No sooner had Lin's father left than another person entered the ward.

Lin Shao thought it was his father coming back to nag him again. Hearing the footsteps, he closed his eyes and lay on the bed, lazily saying, "Dad, are you ever going to stop? It's not a big deal."

The room was quiet, and no one answered him.

Lin Shao turned around abruptly and saw the person who had broken his arms and legs standing in his hospital room.

He instinctively wanted to back away, and he still felt timid when he saw Moze again.

This man is so scary!

Neither of them spoke for a few seconds. In those few seconds, Lin Shao's palms were already sweating.

He didn't know what Moze meant by coming here. Was he going to settle scores later?

He's already like this, so don't push him too far, or he might do anything.

Lin Shao thought to himself fiercely.

Mo Ze broke the silence by introducing himself, "Mo Ze."

"Mr. Mo, I was blind to your greatness before, it was all a misunderstanding." No matter how fierce Lin Shao was in his heart, he still spoke softly. People like him are typical of those who are afraid of the strong but are easily bullied, and can bend and stretch at will.

Seeing that Mo Ze didn't speak, Lin Shao continued shamelessly, "Look, even President Tang isn't making a fuss about it, so... shall we just let it go? I'll pay for the medical expenses myself, and I won't let you compensate me."

Having offended the JK Group, he naturally did his research and learned that Tang Yichen was the real boss.

The implication was clear: even your boss isn't bothered by this, so what kind of trouble are you planning to cause?

Mr. Mo sneered and walked to the bedside.

Lin Shao's arms and legs were broken, and he couldn't move them.

"Is that so? You think you can just let it go after hitting my wife? You're being far too naive!" As he spoke, he forcefully crushed the cast on Lin Shao's leg and pressed hard on his broken bone.

Heart-wrenching screams echoed from the ward again.
