Mo Ze and Shen Nian had just left the Shen Group when Shen Ximan and Lu Jiao caught up with them.

The two were having afternoon tea in the coffee shop on the first floor of Shen's building when they heard people talking about what happened in the meeting room. So they went to find Shen Guoqiang to verify the information.

When the two finally found her in Shen Guoqiang's office, Shen Ximan's first words were, "Dad, did Shen Nian really marry the president of JK Group?"

Shen Guoqiang looked up at the two people and said, "President Mo of JK Group said it himself, how could it be false!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Shen Ximan's eyes. Although she had been mentally prepared, she was still incredibly jealous when she received the definite news.

Why is Shen Nian so lucky? She was just dumped by Chu Yunyi, and she immediately married the president of JK Group. She was so unwilling to accept it!

Lu Jiao was more concerned about the company's shares and fate. "Guoqiang, have the shares been transferred to Niannian? Will JK Group step in to resolve Shen's difficulties?"

Shen Guoqiang himself couldn't guarantee that JK Group would help. Now that he had given up his shares, the problem hadn't been solved, and he was very frustrated. So he replied in a bad tone, "What am I doing! Okay, stop bothering me, you guys go home."

Lu Jiao forced an awkward smile. "Okay, then we'll head back now."

Shen Ximan originally wanted to say a few words on her behalf, but Lu Jiao pulled her away from the office.

As she left, she was still fuming, saying, "What does my dad mean by taking his anger out on us? The current predicament of the Shen Group is not our fault. Look, Shen Nian has found a new backer, and Dad's attitude has changed immediately."

Lu Jiao tugged at Shen Ximan's sleeve, "Keep your voice down, don't talk nonsense."

Although dissatisfied, Shen Ximan lowered her voice and muttered, "I didn't say anything wrong..."

After leaving the company, the two parted ways at the main gate. Shen Ximan said she was going to find Chu Yunyi, and Lu Jiao told her to make sure nothing went wrong.

"I understand, Mom. Don't worry, I'm off." Shen Ximan got into a taxi first and went to Chu Yunyi's apartment to find him.

Lu Jiao stood there, watching the taxi drive away, her expression showing some worry.

She'd been feeling uneasy these past few days. She couldn't get in touch with Chen Tao, and now Shen Nian was here unharmed. She had a bad feeling, wondering if something had happened to Chen Tao...

Thinking this, Lu Jiao hailed a taxi and gave an address in the suburbs.

She decided to risk going to find Chen Tao herself.

After leaving the Shen Group, Mo Ze led Shen Nian to his car and took her back to his apartment.

After entering, Shen Nian suddenly called out to Mo Ze, "Uncle~"

Mo Ze bent down to take out her shoes, then stood up and looked at her. "What's wrong? I'll hand the agreement over to JK Group's lawyers tomorrow, so you don't need to worry about it." He thought Shen Nian was worried about this, so he explained it to her.

Unexpectedly, Shen Nian suddenly bowed deeply to him and said solemnly, "Uncle, thank you."

Mo Ze paused for a moment, then grinned gently, "Then treat me to dinner tonight."

Anyway, whether he was joking or not, Shen Nian took it seriously, "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner, Uncle!"

Judging from that, Moze had no choice but to go and eat.

"Okay, let me change my clothes and then we'll go out," Mo Ze replied with a smile.

Mo Ze went to the bedroom, and Shen Nian waited for him in the living room.

The living room was exactly the same as before. Shen Nian walked to the sofa and sat down, racking her brains to think of what to take Mo Ze out to eat that evening.

She couldn't afford anything too expensive, and anything too cheap was definitely out of the question. It seemed like nothing was suitable. Shen Nian sat on the sofa, deep in thought.

Mo Ze changed into casual clothes and came out of the bedroom. He saw her sitting upright on the floor. He stood at the door for a while before coughing lightly and walking over. "Okay, let's go."

Shen Nian turned around abruptly upon hearing the sound, and seeing Mo Ze's face that made her heart race, she quickly lowered her head again.

He stammered, "Okay, let's go."

She suddenly remembered a private restaurant tucked away in an alley that her mother had taken her to before; the food was delicious, so she decided to take Moze there for dinner.

After getting in the car, Mo Ze asked with a smile, "Have you decided what to eat?"

"Yes, I've thought it through." Shen Nian nodded and gave the address to Mo Ze.

The private restaurant was some distance from Moze's apartment; it took about an hour to drive there.

When they got off the bus, Shen Nian was clearly excited and took Mo Ze's hand, leading him into the alley.

Mo Ze looked at the hand that was being held by that slender little hand behind her, and couldn't suppress the upturn of his lips.

"Uncle, don't let the small size and somewhat out-of-the-way location of this shop fool you. Their dishes are authentic Jiangcheng cuisine, and they taste great. I've eaten here with my mom before, especially the braised pork, it's so fragrant..." Shen Nian kept babbling on and on, making Mo Ze feel happy and very much looking forward to this dinner.

The shop is indeed small; you can see the whole place as soon as you walk in. There are only seven or eight tables. The owners are a middle-aged couple. The husband is in charge of cooking, while the wife is responsible for serving and cashiering. The two work together very well. Although it is a bit tiring, they are very satisfied.

Shen Nian led Mo Ze inside, and luckily, there was still one table available. She exclaimed that they were very lucky, otherwise they would have had to wait in line.

As soon as the two entered, the proprietress warmly greeted them and handed them a traditional menu.

"What would you two like to eat?" the proprietress asked with a smile.

Shen Nian took the menu and handed it to Mo Ze first, "Uncle, what would you like to eat?"

Moze didn't take the order. "You order, I'm not picky."

“Okay.” Shen Nian thought that since she was treating, and was also worried that Mo Ze would be embarrassed to order, she picked up the menu and quickly ordered all the signature dishes. The proprietress, who was standing next to her, hurriedly stopped her, saying, “If you order so much, the two of you might not be able to finish it. Why don’t you remove some and come back another time?” The proprietress suggested with a smile.

Shen Nian's impression of the store improved even more.

"Okay." She picked out some dishes and kept the specialty dishes, so in the end, the two of them still had four dishes and a soup.

It was her first time treating this older man to a meal, so she couldn't be too stingy, since he had helped her a lot time and time again!

After the dishes were served, Shen Nian invited Mo Ze to eat, "Uncle, why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"

Then she watched as Moze picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, waiting expectantly.

Moze chewed gently and said, "Mmm, it's delicious."

Shen Nian breathed a sigh of relief, finally not disappointing the uncle, and then happily started eating herself.

After dinner, Shen Nian prepared to return to school, and Mo Ze drove her to University A.

As she got out of the car, Shen Nian thanked him again, "Uncle, thank you. I'll transfer half of the shares to you once I get them."

Mo Ze raised an eyebrow. "There's no rush."

Shen Nian thought it made sense. The shares of the Shen Group weren't worth much now, so she decided to wait until this storm passed before making any decisions. She nodded and said, "Okay. Well then... take care, Uncle."

Moze responded softly, "Mm."

"Well... I'll head back now." Shen Nian slowly backed away, waving to Mo Ze.

Mo Ze lowered his head and then raised it again, his expression turning into a faint smile. "Okay."

Shen Nian turned and walked towards the dormitory building with some reluctance. After taking two steps, she suddenly turned around and ran back to Mo Ze. Before Mo Ze could react, she tiptoed and quickly placed a soft kiss on Mo Ze's cheek, then ran away without looking back.

The whole process took less than a minute. Mo Ze didn't come to his senses until Shen Nian's figure disappeared at the dormitory gate.

He raised his hand and gently touched the cheek that Shen Nian had just kissed, then suddenly grinned.
