Wen Shuqiao told Cancan a story, and before long, Cancan snuggled up to him and fell asleep.

She put the storybook aside, glanced at the door, and saw that Shen Jiazhou had said he was going to take a shower, but there was still no sign of him.

Wen Shuqiao got out of bed, covered Cancan with the blanket again, and turned up the air conditioner temperature to prevent him from kicking off the blanket and catching a cold at night. After she finished doing all that, she turned off the light and went out.

Upon closer inspection, the bathroom door was open, but Shen Jiazhou was not inside.

Wen Shuqiao withdrew her gaze and returned to the bedroom. The bedroom lights were dimmed to their lowest setting, while Shen Jiazhou sat on the sofa, dressed very "formally."

He was wearing a deep V-neck suit jacket, and underneath the suit jacket, something was shimmering...?

Wen Shuqiao raised an eyebrow slightly, closed the door, and locked it from the inside.

As she closed the door, Shen Jiazhou also stood up from the single sofa chair and walked step by step toward Wen Shuqiao.

Wen Shuqiao raised his hand and hooked the chain that was close to his skin with his fingers.

She said, "I knew it. President Shen usually puts Can Can to sleep faster than a rabbit, so why is he so quiet today?"

Shen Jiazhou's body followed the chain, and he took a small step closer to her. He reached out and put his arm around Wen Shuqiao's waist, lowered his head slightly, and placed a few light kisses along her earlobe. Then he whispered, "Be gentle, the chain is too small, it hurts a little."

Then, with a hint of coquettishness, she said, "Don't you even care about me?"

Wen Shuqiao lowered her hand, tilted her head, and looked at Shen Jiazhou again: "What exactly are you doing online all day? This 'going person's' methods don't seem like normal teaching at all."

Shen Jiazhou lowered his eyes and snorted, "Who was it that couldn't sleep and started looking at male models?"

"How long has it been?" Wen Shuqiao cupped his face in her hands: "Let me see, does this face have the words 'jealousy vat' written all over it?"

Shen Jiazhou grabbed her wrist, kissed her fingers, and said tenderly, "Your eyes were clearly shining just now. You're even more hypocritical than me and Can Can. Do you want to look or not? If you don't, I'll take my clothes off."

Wen Shuqiao gently freed herself from the hand that was restraining her, and her warm fingertips traced a path down his neck.

Wen Shuqiao's eyes crinkled into a smile: "I'll help you."

...

Finally, the chain was transferred from Shen Jiazhou to Wen Shuqiao. After several attempts to refuse, the glittering chain ended up wrapped around Shen Jiazhou's arm.

Perhaps because they had taken a nap in the afternoon, neither of them was too sleepy.

Shen Jiazhou carried Wen Shuqiao out of the bathroom, intending to carry her back to the bedroom, but the bed was a mess from their mess.

He turned around and carried Wen Shuqiao to Cancan's room.

Wen Shuqiao: ...

Too lazy to curse.

Can Can was still sleeping soundly, completely unaware that her aunt and uncle had grown up in her bed again.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't find it strange, since such things happen often. At first, he would be surprised that his aunt and uncle came to sleep with him, but he got used to it. When he saw someone next to him, he would turn over, snuggle in their arms, and continue sleeping.

Shen Jiazhou went out and turned off all the lights outside before finally returning.

He quietly climbed into bed, lay down next to Wen Shuqiao, buried himself in her hair and took a deep breath before turning over and turning off the light.

Wen Shuqiao changed from lying on her side to lying on her back, but no matter how she lay, Shen Jiazhou held her tightly.

With a satisfied look on his face, he rubbed his face against Wen Shuqiao's shoulder and muttered in that position, "Let's go to sleep."

It was already past two o'clock, but she was thinking that she could buy more small ornaments for the house in the future. Although Wen Shuqiao didn't say it, she could feel that she was really satisfied.

He muttered to himself, "I remember there's also a pearl version. I'll wear it for you when we get home, okay?"

"Shen Jiazhou..." Wen Shuqiao's voice was a little hoarse. She said, "He's asleep."

Stop thinking about going all the time!

Shen Jiazhou fell asleep contentedly, holding Wen Shuqiao in his arms. But before falling asleep, he said, "Goodnight, my wife. I hope you'll be in my dreams tonight."

Wen Shuqiao simply patted his arm across her waist twice in a weak response.

She's still in my dreams.

Wen Shuqiao thought to herself, "I'm a little tired..."

*

"Buzz—"

Shen Jiazhou was awakened by a ringing bell. He opened his eyes groggily, his hands flailing unconsciously, trying to touch Wen Shuqiao and hug her back to sleep, but he couldn't touch anything.

He opened his eyes, trying to see where Wen Shuqiao was, while muttering, "Wife, together again...?"

He suddenly sat up in bed, looking around in confusion. It wasn't a hotel; even the bed and the environment were different.

What, he's been kidnapped? But with his wife around, who would dare kidnap him!

Shen Jiazhou, puzzled, threw off the covers and got out of bed. He went out of the bedroom and found himself alone in the huge house.

He walked around the room and searched the study for a while, but didn't find any useful information.

Just then, a bell rang; judging from the location, it should be in the bedroom.

Shen Jiazhou returned to the bedroom and glanced at the name on the screen: Assistant Lin.

Lin Yan? That doesn't seem right either. He always saves people's names in his contacts, never with words like "assistant" or "secretary."

After pondering for three seconds, Shen Jiazhou answered the phone.

The voice on the other end said, "Mr. Chen, are you up? I'll be downstairs soon. As usual, I've prepared breakfast for you. Around what time will you be coming down?"

Shen Jiazhou said, "Fifteen minutes."
