Chapter 154 Longing surged like a flood
She hadn't even truly enjoyed that kind of life yet. If she had known earlier that she was also a supporting character in that world, she would have definitely given up and settled down, content to be Shen Mochen's kept woman.
Even if the world doesn't allow them to be together, at least they've enjoyed it. Dying together is indeed quite romantic.
Since neither parent cares about them anymore, who cares if they'll be wiped out?
"Yes, it will happen soon. I'll make sure my little one lives that kind of life." Shen Mochen's heart trembled violently, and he tightened his grip on her.
Yu Nanqing certainly believed in him; with his abilities, rebuilding the Shen family business wouldn't be a problem.
Ambitious, bold, intelligent, and a good actor, this kind of person will succeed in whatever they do.
--
After Lin Xu gradually became able to handle company documents, Shen Mochen began to teach him more advanced management knowledge.
Practical teaching makes a deeper impression on students.
During this period, Shen Mochen also got to know many big shots and tycoons in the business world.
Because of his outstanding abilities and good looks, many big shots have taken a different view of him and even offered him high salaries to switch jobs.
Lin Xu could certainly notice that every time Shen Mochen finished a business meeting or left the banquet hall, his suit pocket would be filled with a bunch of gold-embossed business cards.
Better opportunities and higher salaries are tempting to anyone.
So he gradually began to worry and occasionally tested the waters, intentionally or unintentionally.
One Friday, after meeting with his business partner, he got extremely drunk, vomited two or three times, and then sat down on the red brick floor outside the hotel.
I just had to get this off my chest. I've been holding it in for almost a month, and if I don't say it soon, I feel like I'm turning into a ninja.
Green ninja.
Of course, it's not the kind of "green" that comes from being cheated on by your girlfriend, but the kind of "green" that comes from being betrayed by a taxi driver you trusted.
Lin Xu shook his head, wondering what nonsense he was spouting.
But if we don't ask, it's really not going to work.
He was considered to have a good alcohol tolerance in the industry, but he didn't expect Shen Mochen to have an even better tolerance.
He clearly drank even more than her, yet he's completely unaffected, as if he hadn't touched a drop.
While the other person was handing him water, he grabbed Shen Mochen's wrist and began to complain, "Brother Shen, did those bosses in the private room try to offer you a job again today?"
"Don't agree to them, I can't live without you."
"I can give you more money, just ask for whatever you want. If it's not enough, remember it, and I'll definitely give it to you when I make a lot of money in the future."
Shen Mochen frowned, looking at him with disdain, and pulled his hand away from his as soon as he uttered the first word.
Fortunately, the location is remote, and apart from a few scattered people coming out of the hotel, there was no one else around.
Shen Mochen glanced down at the designated driver approaching, a hint of irritation in his eyes, and unconsciously moved further away from Lin Xu.
In the end, he stood under a streetlamp two meters away from Lin Xu, keeping his eyes on Lin Xu across from him, just to make sure that he wouldn't be stabbed to death by someone who suddenly appeared.
There were two female secretaries in the private room today, and they reeked of a strong, foul-smelling perfume.
Not only is he ugly and smelly, but he also has no sense of propriety, constantly using the excuse of getting water to rub against him.
His hands were also restless; he tried to steal the bracelet and brooch his wife had given him. Luckily, he was quick and broke the hand off just as it got close.
The other party's master should be glad they didn't shirk their responsibility, otherwise, given his vindictive nature, he might have secretly put a sack over their necks and beaten them senseless tonight.
If this coat hadn't been a gift from his wife who spent a fortune on it, he would have taken it off immediately and stuffed it into a roadside trash can.
He was filled with regret; he shouldn't have worn that coat out tonight.
He felt that the suit he wore last time, which had been burned with a hole by some nasty bald, greasy-faced man, was the most suitable for this occasion.
If it gets stinky, I wouldn't even feel bad about throwing it away.
The designated driver slowly drove up on his electric scooter. When he saw the person appear at the end of the street, Shen Mochen stepped over and called out to Lin Xu, who was already lying on the ground acting like a brat.
"I want to pull." Lin Xu stared at him, and once his pupils focused and he recognized who it was, he immediately raised his hand and pleaded.
His appearance made Shen Mochen's brows furrow even more tightly, and a strong sense of unease rose in his heart.
He remained expressionless, involuntarily taking two steps back, his mind unconsciously comparing Lin Xu's horribly ugly appearance with his wife's coquettish manner.
It's like comparing heaven and earth.
There's simply no comparison.
It's fine if I don't think about it, but once I do, the longing surges up like a flood.
These past few days, he has been leaving early and returning late almost every day. When he gets up in the morning, Yu Nanqing is still asleep, and when he gets home at night, Yu Nanqing is already asleep.
This completely different schedule meant that he hadn't spoken to Yu Nanqing for almost a week.
I can only recharge with unresponsive kisses every day, and it's really hard to bear.
Just like someone who has eaten meat will never get used to licking meat skin again.
It's already 1 a.m., and it will be past 2 a.m. when I get back. Yu Nanqing will definitely be asleep by then, which means he will have to spend another lonely day.
However, it's Friday today, and the weekend is tomorrow and the day after, so he absolutely refuses to work overtime with Lin Xu anymore.
No amount of money can make a difference.
Spending time with my wife is the most important thing.
After watching the designated driver drop Lin Xu off, Shen Mochen took a taxi home.
At 2:10 a.m., Shen Mochen returned home on time. He carefully opened the door, making sure not to make any noise that would wake the sleeping Yu Nanqing.
There was no light in the room. Shen Mochen tiptoed to the master bedroom and habitually pushed open the door, wanting to hug and kiss Yu Nanqing. But as he approached the bed, supporting himself on the arched blanket, just as he was about to lean down and kiss her, Shen Mochen realized that his sweet wife was nowhere to be found. There was only a messy blanket.
He paused for two seconds, his expression changed, and he reached out to turn on the room light. The person was indeed not in the room.
Shen Mochen's brows furrowed, and he panicked. He rushed out of the room and searched the entire apartment, even the balcony.
His wife has disappeared.
Realizing this, Shen Mochen's eyes darkened, and a strong sense of unease rose in his heart.
His first reaction wasn't that Yu Nanqing had abandoned him again, but rather that he was worried she might be in trouble.
He updated the chat interface several times to make sure Yu Nanqing hadn't sent him any messages, and he tried calling her several times but still couldn't get through.
His unease instantly reached its peak, and his fingers trembled slightly as he tapped the phone screen.
With red eyes, he checked the location tracker on Yu Nanqing's body to make sure there were no abnormal changes before he hurriedly grabbed his coat and went out, heading straight for the location tracker.
He was naturally anxious and fearful. The world was full of unknowns for him, and the feeling of not being able to fully control it made his heart feel like it was crawling with ants, nonsensical and unbearably painful.
