Chapter 81 'Wait a few more days'
The two didn't dwell on the topic. Jiang Ning knew that the information she revealed was enough to make Shen Mo take it seriously, and what followed was beyond her control.
That night, Jiang Ning finally realized how terrifying a man who has tasted the sweetness of love can be.
They also knew why this man had sent Zhiqi away last night.
She mentioned it tonight, asking Shen Mo to bring Zhiqi home, but Shen Mo remained silent and refused.
In her dazed state, Jiang Ning even asked when she was going to pick up Zhiqi and take him home.
What did Shen Mo say back then?
He seemed to say something like, 'Wait a few more days.'
Jiang Ning, who was almost unconscious, was stunned when she heard this, and mumbled something under her breath—
'A beast that has just begun to eat meat.'
Shen Mo remained noncommittal; he hadn't expected that this incident would make him increasingly dissatisfied with his meal.
He had only planned to send Zhiqi away for one night last night, but after last night, he decided to bring the child back in a few days.

Huo Zhiqi, who lives in Qian Feng's dormitory, is diligently doing his homework under the dim light.
Zhiqi's quiet nature didn't bother Qian Feng at all. Qian Feng also knew about Zhiqi's past: his parents had passed away, and he had been fostered by several different families.
Qian Feng even asked Zhiqi a cheeky question at the time, "Aren't you afraid of being abandoned again?"
To everyone's surprise, the little guy spoke in a crisp voice, his stern little face scrunched up, "If you keep talking nonsense, I won't live with you anymore. You're slandering Mom and Dad."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything nonsense." Qian Feng was startled by his stern little face. How could such a small guy have the aura of Deputy Regiment Commander Gu Chen?
"Why did the deputy regimental commander suddenly send you here?" He was still puzzled.
Huo Zhiqi still remembers that when his father took him to Uncle Qian Feng's place last night, he asked him, "Would you like to discipline your younger siblings in the future?"
When Huo Zhiqi heard about having a younger brother or sister, his eyes lit up. He nodded vigorously, promising to be a responsible and good older brother when he actually had a younger brother or sister!
"I can come whenever I want," Huo Zhiqi replied to Qian Feng.
Qian Feng: "......"
The next day, Shen Mo brought back several photos and neatly arranged them on the table for Jiang Ning to see. "Are there any photos of Feng Chuan wearing a watch in these?"
Jiang Ning glanced at the photos on the table, pointed to one of them, and said, "This is it."
The photos Shen Mo brought back were taken from spies he had captured before. The archives had a record of them, and he specifically asked the comrades in the archives to help him find them.
The items in these photos are things that you absolutely cannot find in China.
After confirming the photo with Jiang Ning, Shen Mo took it to the camp.
He was busy every day after that, and even told Jiang Ning that he wouldn't be home for lunch.
But even though he's busy during the day, it doesn't stop him from being busy at night.
After a few shameless nights, Jiang Ning vowed that she would never flirt with Shen Mo again.
A seemingly innocent man can be anything but innocent when it comes to his actions!
When Jiang Ning returned home on Friday, she ran into Jiang Ting, who was also home for the holidays. Seeing Jiang Ting reminded her of her wedding dress selection.
Today, Lin Yufei picked up Jiang Ting. Whenever Lin Yufei was around, Jiang Ting's resentment towards Jiang Ning was overshadowed.
As long as Lin Yufei is around, she will definitely be able to outdo Jiang Ning.
She suddenly felt a pang of regret that Jiang Ning hadn't been reborn like her. If Jiang Ning had been reborn like her, and saw that Lin Yufei was already under her control, her expression would have been priceless.
Every time she recalled how Jiang Ning brought Lin Yufei to show off in front of her in her past life, she felt immense hatred.
But this life is different now, and no matter how much she flaunts it, she can't reach Jiang Ning from her previous life.
Lin Yufei was tall and wore a military uniform. He had a cold and stern expression and the air of someone who had served in the army for many years.
Lin Yufei seemed to sense that the woman in front of him was sizing him up. His eyes turned cold, but he stood even straighter.
Jiang Ning merely glanced at him casually before looking away.
However, Jiang Ting interpreted Jiang Ning's glance at Lin Yufei as a comparison, a comparison between Lin Yufei and her rogue soldier husband.
The thought that this was the man Jiang Ning could never have in her life made her feel wonderful.
She brought up the topic of choosing a wedding dress, saying, "Little sister, don't forget about choosing a wedding dress tomorrow. Yufei and I will wait for you at the entrance of the family compound at ten o'clock in the morning, okay?"
Jiang Ning certainly wouldn't forget; that was her money.
Jiang Ning nodded. She had originally wanted to ask Shen Mo to cooperate, but she had seen how busy Shen Mo had been these past few days and wasn't sure if he would have time tomorrow.
Fortunately, Shen Mo knew she wanted to get back the more than 1,000 yuan and gave her the remittance receipt in advance. Even if Shen Mo wasn't there, Jiang Ting couldn't renege on her debt.
Jiang Ning said, "Okay, see you tomorrow."
As Lin Yufei and Jiang Ting left, Lin Yufei glanced at Jiang Ning indifferently. He would give her a hint when he met Qian Feng tomorrow.
Women shouldn't be pampered too much.
Back at the family compound, Lin Yufei and Jiang Ting agreed that the money for the wedding dress the next day should not exceed one hundred yuan.
Jiang Ting got into university, and he wouldn't treat her too badly.
One hundred yuan is enough to buy a very nice wedding dress, and Jiang Ting is very satisfied with the price.
She couldn't help but think that with Jiang Ning's orderly husband's salary, he probably couldn't even afford a wedding dress that cost fifty yuan.
—
Jiang Ning still remembered hearing about Feng Chuan and that man meeting today on the mountain that day. If Shen Mo and the others act quickly enough, today will be the best opportunity to catch those two spies!
As expected, Shen Mo did not go home tonight.
Jiang Ning had originally planned to tell Shen Mo about going to the city tomorrow, but it seems unlikely that Shen Mo will go with her tomorrow.
