Chapter 79 He's on His Mind
Hearing her voice, Xia Yue snapped back to reality, tugged at her skirt, and feigned cheerfulness, "How could that be!"
Xia Yan stared at her face, then reached out and wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes. "What's so good about Shen Mochen? He's irritable and aloof, and acts all high and mighty like a fool."
Xia Yue was taken aback, realizing that she was trying to comfort her. She slowly loosened her grip on her skirt and forced a smile. "Sister, I'm fine. Aren't you going to the charity event with Mom tomorrow? You should get some rest and don't worry about me."
It's just getting married, it won't stop her from liking it.
Moreover, Grandpa Shen had already said that he only recognized her as his granddaughter-in-law.
Even if that woman marries Brother Chen, she will be kicked out of the Shen family sooner or later.
She's alright, she... she's really alright.
She simply couldn't understand what it was about that woman that made her so captivating, winning over Ah Chen's heart in just a few months.
She secretly followed Brother Chen to Jiangcheng, but with Assistant Yu watching over her, she didn't get to say a single word to him.
She had seen Ah Chen meet that woman a few times, but at the time she only thought that the woman was Ah Chen's business partner and didn't take it seriously.
It seems that Ah Chen was already seduced by that woman back then.
She pinched her fingertips, regretting that she hadn't discovered it sooner; otherwise, she wouldn't have given that woman an opportunity.
"Xia Xiaoyue, your eyebrows are practically falling off the ground, and you're still telling me it's nothing." Xia Yan glanced at her, wondering why her mother had given birth to such a hopelessly romantic person.
Everyone in the industry knows that Xia Yue is Shen Mochen's simp, but a very unsuccessful one.
Shen Mochen completely ignored her, and probably couldn't even remember her name.
"There are so many men in the world, why do you have to settle for just one?"
"Sister, you don't understand."
Xia Yan glanced at her sideways, and indeed didn't understand her thought process at all.

Yu Nanqing felt that Shen Mochen was full of energy all day long. She was woken up by a kiss at five o'clock in the morning. She was full of resentment and forced her sore eyelids to look at the man who was about to suffocate her with a kiss.
"Shen Mochen, are you trying to get yourself killed...?"
Still half asleep, her voice was a little hoarse. She muttered a curse under her breath and slapped him across the face.
"I'm sorry, sweetie, you can continue sleeping, I'll be gentle." Shen Mochen wasn't angry even after being hit. He touched her face with one hand and hooked the hem of her clothes with the other, trying to roll it up.
Yu Nanqing frowned, reached out and pushed his face away, biting his finger in dissatisfaction, "Let's continue when it's light, I'm very sleepy."
"It's already dawn, sweetie." Shen Mochen suppressed his pain, staring at the finger she had bitten for a moment, then buried his head in her chest, desperately inhaling her scent.
"Get out of here!" Yu Nanqing was annoyed by his disturbance and pushed him away with both hands and feet.
With her extremely dissatisfied resistance, the heavy feeling clinging to her finally disappeared. She breathed a sigh of relief, pulled up the blanket, turned over, and fell asleep again.
When she woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. She slowly opened her eyes, her empty eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. It took a long time for her eyes to refocus.
She yawned, her mind a little foggy, feeling like she'd forgotten something, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
When her feet touched the ground and she glanced at her shoes, she saw Shen Mochen slumped in the corner on the small sofa with a resentful look on his face, and then she suddenly remembered.
The person who clung to her like an octopus in the early hours of the morning seems to have been scolded by her.
She swallowed hard, slowly looked away, picked up the slippers that had been kicked under the bed, put them on, and walked calmly toward the door.
But before she even reached the door, her waist was grabbed, and she barely managed to sit on Shen Mochen's lap.
Her eyes flickered, and she felt inexplicably guilty. She turned her head to look at Shen Mochen and chuckled.
Shen Mochen stared at her expressionlessly, his gaze lingering on her lips. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he refrained from touching them with his hand. "Be a good girl and tell me...we'll continue when it's light."
Upon hearing this, Yu Nanqing froze, her thoughts drifting. She seemed to have said something like that, but wasn't that just an excuse to make him not disturb her sleep?
Besides, what kind of good person would wake someone up with a kiss so early in the morning?
She's in the right no matter what.
Thinking it over, her guilty conscience vanished, and she straightened up, "You..."
As soon as she uttered the words, she met Shen Mochen's reddened and deep eyes, and automatically swallowed them back.
Yu Nanqing lowered her eyes and let out a soft breath, "You didn't sleep all night?"
"Yeah, it's really hard to look at a beautiful wife lying in front of you and not be able to have her," Shen Mochen replied earnestly.
Yu Nanqing fell silent, her heartache for him vanishing instantly. Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she tugged at his ear, "Can you be serious for once?"
"Who told you to be so adorable and have always been on my mind?"
Yu Nanqing was slightly taken aback, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but turn up. She leaned over and kissed his face, then broke free from his grasp and quickly walked outside.
Watching her retreating figure, Shen Mochen sighed softly, got up to follow her, and walked to the door, then paused, glancing sideways at the messy blankets on the bed.
He moved over as if possessed, buried his head in the blanket, sniffed it, and felt his restlessness ease a little before getting up and neatly folding the blanket.
After washing up, Yu Nanqing found Shen Mochen already making breakfast in the kitchen. She quietly moved over and stood behind him, ready to scare him, when he grabbed her waist.
Before she could even react, Shen Mochen had already turned off the stove, picked her up, and carried her straight to the living room.
She slumped into the soft sofa, her eyelashes fluttering. She looked up at Shen Mochen, whose eyes were gleaming as if he wanted to devour her, and her heart pounded.
It wasn't fear, it was nervousness.
She swallowed hard, and before she could even sit up on the sofa, Shen Mochen cupped the back of her head and kissed her fiercely.
A barrage of kisses overwhelmed her, leaving her mind blank. Her hands, unsure of what to do, reached out and tightly wrapped around his strong waist. She couldn't help but slip her fingers under his clothes and grope his chest and back.
His body was hot, but... it wasn't smooth at all; the places his fingertips repeatedly rubbed looked like rough scars.
Yu Nanqing was stunned for a moment, then reached out and pushed him away, grabbed the corner of his clothes and lifted it up. When she saw the scars on his chest and abdomen, her pupils dilated slightly, her throat tightened, and her eyes instantly turned red.
She wasn't fully conscious when they were intimate last time and didn't realize it. Now, thinking back on it carefully, no wonder he always rejected her advances before, and no wonder he didn't undress so casually like before.
Shen Mochen pressed down on her wandering fingers, his eyes reddening, his chest heaving rapidly, and he was slowly exhaling heavily. "Be good, don't touch me like that."
He has strong desires and can't really control them.
Yu Nanqing bit her lip, trying not to shed tears, only sobbing softly, and leaned down to kiss the most hideous scar on his chest.
