"An Zhengrong? Your father?" Mo Jingchen asked.
“Well, she said that as long as I go back for dinner, she will return all the company shares that my mother used to own. But I still feel that things are not that simple,” An Yiruo simply expressed her doubts.
"What does An'an think? If Miss An wants to go and have some fun, then go ahead. I will be An'an's strongest support and will definitely protect you."
“Mr. Mo…” An Yiruo was instantly moved by Mo Jingchen’s words and didn’t know how to respond.
"Regarding the An Corporation, if An'an wants it, I can deliver it to her immediately. If An'an wants to reclaim what belongs to her, then I will provide you with all the necessary assistance."
Mo Jingchen looked at An Yiruo sincerely, his eyes filled with a husband's love for his wife.
"Tomorrow, I'll go meet with An Zhengrong and see what he's really up to. But... Mr. Mo, could you send someone to protect me outside the An family villa?"
An Yiruo's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, after all, she didn't yet have the strength to protect herself.
"Don't worry, I will go there myself tomorrow."
"Thank you, Mr. Mo."
"Is it enough to just say 'thank you' to An'an?" Mo Jingchen said, feigning reproach.
An Yiruo understood what Mo Jingchen was referring to, so she quickly pecked him on the cheek.
"An'an's kisses are a bit stingy," Mo Jingchen said before taking the initiative and kissing An Yiruo's lips.
After the kiss, Mo Jingchen brought An Yiruo over and said, "An'an, next time I want this as a thank-you gift."
"That's inappropriate," An Yiruo said somewhat embarrassedly.
“But An’an doesn’t dislike you, does she?” Mo Jingchen said, looking at An Yiruo with a mischievous grin.
An Yiruo didn't want to continue discussing this topic with him, so she lay down and prepared to fall asleep.
Seeing that An Yiruo seemed genuinely unhappy, Mo Jingchen stopped teasing her and embraced her from behind as they fell asleep.
The next day, inside the Anjia Villa.
Li Yushu said to An Zhengrong in the bedroom, "Husband, I've prepared some things to make that girl An Yiruo obedient. I'll give her some tonight, and then she won't be able to escape even if she wants to."
"My wife is so thoughtful," An Zhengrong said, kissing Li Yushu on the cheek.
"How annoying! We're an old married couple, aren't you afraid of being laughed at if people see us?" Li Yushu said coquettishly.
"What's there to be afraid of? We're a legally married couple. Why should we be afraid of what others might say?"
"Oh, right, honey. What about Mr. Xue..."
"Don't worry, honey. I'll take care of everything with Boss Xue. Once the funds arrive, An's will be back on track, and then I'll take you shopping!"
"Honey, even if you don't take me shopping, I still love you. I'm not that kind of superficial woman."
The two spent the morning being all lovey-dovey, until An Zhengrong went to the company, at which point Li Yushu came downstairs with a completely different attitude.
At this moment, Li Yushu was no longer the gentle and lovely Madam An, but a woman with a calculating and mean-spirited look in her eyes.
"Mom, is everything ready for tonight?" An Yufei asked her mother.
"Don't worry, Feifei. Everything is ready. As for your boyfriend, why have I never heard you mention him before?" Yesterday, Li Yushu was only thinking about how to get An Yufei out of the situation unscathed and didn't inquire further.
Today, since it was just the two of them at home, she felt she had to ask.
After all, this concerns her daughter's happiness for the rest of her life, and she doesn't want her daughter to end up like her, marrying such a selfish and self-serving man.
"Mom, to be honest, I overheard your entire conversation with Dad yesterday. I only agreed to Mo Lingxiao's advances so that Dad wouldn't use me as a pawn," An Yufei told her mother truthfully.
"So that's how it is. But Feifei, you did the right thing. I never expected that An Zhengrong would be willing to sacrifice you for his own benefit." As she said this, Li Yushu's eyes were filled with hatred.
She ousted An Yiruo's mother and usurped her place, believing that she married An Zhengrong because of love.
She had once foolishly believed that An Zhengrong loved her deeply. But after seeing An Zhengrong's true colors, the more she loved him then, the more she now hated him.
You have to remember that she was a great beauty when she was young, and she had no shortage of big bosses who pursued her.
"An Zhengrong, since you are so heartless, don't blame me for having a hard time."
"Mother, you have a plan?" An Yufei asked her mother with a puzzled look.
“After tonight, An Yiruo will be tainted, a stain that will make her no match for you no matter what. What we need to do is to solidify your status as the heir of the An family as soon as possible and take over the An Corporation,” Li Yushu said with great ambition.
“Mom is so thoughtful,” An Yufei continued, “Mom, I’m going out in a little while to see Mo Lingxiao.”
“You absolutely must remember this: you must make Mo Lingxiao completely devoted to you. That way, your father won’t try anything with you because he’s wary of the Mo family’s status,” Li Yushu reminded her again.
"I know, Mom. I'll be going now."
"Go ahead, and be careful on the road."
"Yes, I know."
On the other hand, Mo Lingxiao was already waiting at the place the two had agreed upon. When he saw An Yufei coming over, he immediately waved to her: "Yufei, over here."
"Ling Xiao, have you been here long? I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I was thinking about dressing up nicely before I left home so I could make you happy. I completely forgot about the time," An Yufei said, sounding a little embarrassed.
"It's alright, Yufei. I just arrived myself. Besides, it's only right for a boy to wait for a girl," Mo Lingxiao said, looking at An Yufei and comforting her.
"Thank you, Ling Xiao."
"Yufei, you're too kind. But Yufei, you look really beautiful today."
Upon hearing this, An Yufei pretended to be shy and lowered her head, which made Mo Lingxiao's heart itch with desire.
"Lingxiao, there's something I want to tell you," An Yufei said, looking at Mo Lingxiao.
"Yufei, what's wrong?" Mo Lingxiao asked, looking at An Yufei's expression, assuming that An Yufei had encountered some trouble.
"It's nothing really. I just told my mom about our relationship. My mom... wants to invite you to my house for dinner tonight."
