Chen Ningsheng nodded slightly, watched Zhao Jianguo leave before turning back into the house. Xu Xinchen had already taken a lock and locked the house.

When she turned to face Chen Ningsheng, her pupils contracted, and she quickly walked to his side, whispering, "Are you really not going to go home and ask your dad if he can help?"

Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's question, Chen Ningsheng was momentarily speechless with amusement. He took a few steps forward and pulled Xu Xinchen into his arms, saying, "Baby, I said I wouldn't ask him for help, and I mean it. Don't overthink it. I can handle it myself. Trust me, okay?"

Hearing Chen Ningsheng's reassuring words, Xu Xinchen was very worried, but she didn't want to cause Chen Ningsheng any more trouble. So she swallowed her long list of questions and nodded to Chen Ningsheng: "Okay, as long as you have your own ideas, I won't ask anymore."

Looking at Xu Xinchen's appearance, Chen Ningsheng finally smiled: "I knew my baby was the best. Let's go and get some rest. After all this, if we don't get some rest early tonight, we probably won't be able to sleep well."

Xu Xinchen nodded and walked with Chen Ningsheng into the bedroom. After such a disgusting incident, neither of them had the mind to think about anything romantic.

Chen Ningsheng had to rush to investigate this matter early the next morning, so he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Xu Xinchen, on the other hand, tossed and turned, unable to sleep, her mind preoccupied with her worries.

Around 12:30, he finally felt sleepy, turned his head, and looked at Chen Ningsheng face to face.

Seeing her sleeping face, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

What Xu Xinchen didn't know was that as soon as she closed her eyes, Chen Ningsheng immediately opened them, looking at her with a face full of heartache. He had indeed been very tired at first and had slept for a while.

However, the noise of Xin Chen tossing and turning beside him, unable to sleep, soon woke him up, even though he wasn't sleeping very deeply. He understood that Xu Xin Chen was troubled by something, so he kept his eyes closed and didn't disturb her.

Only now, when Xu Xinchen's even breathing reached his ears and she stopped tossing and turning, did he dare to open his eyes and look at her.

Once he was sure Xu Xinchen was fast asleep, Chen Ningsheng reached out and pulled the blanket over her shoulders, covering her completely. He then reached around her waist and pulled her into his arms.

The two of them were pressed together face to face, and Chen Ningsheng was finally satisfied. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, just like Xu Xinchen.

She slept soundly until dawn. When Xu Xinchen woke up, she checked the time and found that she still had an hour and a half before her work start time, so she wasn't in a hurry at all.

After getting up, looking at Chen Ningsheng sleeping soundly beside her, she couldn't help but lower her head and gently kiss Chen Ningsheng's cheek.

Chen Ningsheng was fast asleep and was not awakened by Xu Xinchen's noise. He had no idea what he had missed. After Xu Xinchen kissed him, she immediately moved her body carefully like a thief, stood up and ran to the kitchen.

Every two or three days, the auntie Chen Ningsheng hired would buy some fresh vegetables and put them in the refrigerator so that Chen Ningsheng and Xu Xinchen could have a late-night snack.

Tomorrow is the day that aunt goes grocery shopping, and the things in the refrigerator have long been used up. Xu Xinchen thought about it carefully and decided to do it the same way as before, simply making a few slices of toast for breakfast.

When Chen Ningsheng woke up, Xu Xinchen had just put the things on the table. Turning her head, she saw Chen Ningsheng walking out of the bedroom with a blank look on his face. Xu Xinchen quickly greeted him, "Ningsheng, you're awake? Hurry up and go brush your teeth and wash your face, then come and have breakfast."

The warmth of waking up to find his beloved had prepared breakfast for him made Chen Ningsheng smile involuntarily. He took a few steps forward, hugged Xu Xinchen tightly, and buried his head in her neck, nuzzling her.

After rubbing against her several times, Chen Ningsheng finally let go of Xu Xinchen and obediently went into the bathroom to wash up.

After the two finished breakfast, Chen Ningsheng took Xu Xinchen to the building where she works. When they got out of the car, Xu Xinchen deliberately leaned close to the window and tapped on it a few times.

Sitting in the car, Chen Ningsheng looked at Xu Xinchen's worried face reflected in the car window and couldn't help but smile, signaling the driver to roll the window down a little.

The driver nodded, pressed a button, and the car window slowly rolled down. Xu Xinchen looked at Chen Ningsheng with a worried expression and said, "Ningsheng, you must be careful later."

After learning that there was a group of shameless bastards secretly causing trouble for Chen Ningsheng, Xu Xinchen was constantly worried about Chen Ningsheng's safety.

If they can even get their hands on those things, who knows what other tricks they might have up their sleeves if one plan fails?

Chen Ningsheng chuckled softly, leaned out the window, and kissed Xu Xinchen on the cheek: "Don't worry..."

"My heart, my baby, it's alright. If they really wanted to get rid of me, they would have done it already, instead of resorting to such a roundabout method."

As he spoke, Chen Ningsheng revealed a confident smile: "This method proves that they don't want to confront me directly, but only want to cause me trouble behind my back when I'm not prepared. So I won't be in any direct danger."

Seeing that Chen Ningsheng was using the same old excuse, Xu Xingchen could only nod helplessly and choose to believe him: "Alright, then be careful and remember to protect yourself."

Seeing Chen Ningsheng solemnly nod and swear, Xu Xinchen walked into the company with a feeling of unease.

Everyone felt that Xu Xinchen was acting very strangely today, especially Lin Bingchun, who had been trying to chat with her. She was more direct about it. She had tried to talk to Xu Xinchen several times today, but Xu Xinchen seemed uninterested.

Finally, during lunch, Lin Bingchun couldn't hold back any longer. After getting her food, she and Xu Xinchen casually found a place to sit down, placed the food on the table, and stared at Xu Xinchen with a serious expression for a long time.

Xu Xinchen felt her scalp tingling from the stare and finally couldn't help but speak up, "Bing Chun, you can just say what you want to say. Don't look at me like that."
