"Wife, I was wronged. I wasn't drunk. They drugged me. Wife, they are so mean. I will never go out drinking with them again. Will you stop being angry?"

While Shao Mo was reading the report, Ling Chuan lay on her arms like a docile big dog, rubbing his furry head against her.

Shao Mo ignored the man's grievances and read the report carefully.

"A fly won't bite an egg without a crack. There were a lot of people eating together, so why did they pick on you? Did I remind you last time you came to Shanghai that you are no longer the same person you used to be? Your every word and action could affect Dad and the Shao family. Did you take my words to heart?"

"Wife, I have. I have always kept your words in mind. Last night, Linda kept trying to get close to me and kept toasting me with wine. I ignored her and didn't drink the wine she toasted me with."

"Wife, I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry, okay? I swear to stop drinking from today. I will never drink in any occasion. If I break my promise, I will be struck by lightning and die miserably..."

Shao Mo raised her hand and patted the man on the mouth, "Stop talking nonsense here."

Ling Chuan took the opportunity to hold her hand, put it on his lips and kissed it, "Wife, have you forgiven me?"

"That's easy to imagine, let's see how you perform!"

After saying that, she reached out and pushed him away in disgust, "Don't lean on me, it's so heavy."

Ling Chuan fell onto the sofa under her force, and said in a weak voice, "Wife, I have a headache."

"You deserve it. Did I let you drink so much? I'll make you die of pain!"

"Wife, you are so fierce."

Hearing that something was not right with the man, Shao Mo turned her head and took a closer look. She discovered that the man's cheeks and eyes were abnormally red.

She subconsciously put her hand on the man's forehead, only to find that he had a high fever.

Although she had antipyretic drugs in her space, Shao Mo still called a doctor over out of concern.

After a diagnosis, it was confirmed that it was just a common fever, and Shao Mo's heart finally settled down.

After taking medicine and getting a fever-reducing injection, Ling Chuan fell asleep quickly.

Shao Mo sat on the bed and looked at him for a while, then put on her coat and shoes and went out.

It was two hours later when Shao Mo returned to the room with the cooked yam and lean meat porridge, but Ling Chuan was still sleeping soundly on the bed. Shao Mo did not wake him up, but just warmed the casserole of porridge with hot water, and then climbed onto the bed to take a nap.

When I woke up again, it was already evening and the bed next to me was empty.

Shao Mo got up from the bed, went to the living room, and saw the man sitting on the sofa drinking porridge. She couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Wife, are you awake? I left some porridge for you, warmed it with hot water, wash your face and come and eat it."

The man's face was still a little pale, but he was in good spirits. His dark eyes were bright and seemed to be glowing when he looked at her.

Having not had lunch, Shao Mo was really hungry. She washed her face, drank the porridge, and ate some snacks that she had bought yesterday, and only then did she fill her stomach.

After she finished eating, Ling Chuan wanted to clean the table as usual, but Shao Mo reached out and held him back.

"Just ask the waiter to come in and clean it up later. Is the fever gone?"

As she asked, she used the back of her hand to feel the temperature of his forehead.

Ling Chuan sat obediently beside her and let her check his temperature with the back of his hand.

It's still a little hot, but much better than at noon.

"Go take your medicine."

I thought the man would be obedient and go get some water and take his medicine, but he just sat on the sofa and didn't move.

"Wife, can you pour me some water?"

Oh, you are still being arrogant because of your illness! Shao Mo glared at the man for a while, and finally got up to pour the water.

"Here, take the medicine."

The man smiled like a fool who had eaten candy. Shao Mo walked to the window without even looking at him.

It was night falling outside the window, and the streets were decorated with beautiful lights and colorful fireworks. Standing in front of the hotel window and overlooking the entire city, the scenery was extremely beautiful.

After taking the medicine, Ling Chuan came behind her, put his arms around her waist, and rested his chin lightly on her shoulder.

"Wife, let's go shopping."

Shao Mo stared at the man's reflection in the glass window, "Don't you want to live anymore? You want to go out and get some fresh air before your fever goes away."

"I'll just put on some more clothes and a hat and scarf, and I'll be fine."

"That won't work either."

"This is your first time in Shanghai, and I didn't even take you for a stroll. I want to take you around."

The man's words warmed Shao Mo's heart, "It's not like I won't come again in the future."

Hearing this, Ling Chuan tightened his arms around her waist slightly and kissed her earlobe lightly. The warm and numb touch spread throughout Shao Mo's body like an electric current. Shao Mo couldn't help but tilt her head to avoid it.

"Stop it."

"Wife, I'm sorry for making you sad. The steak you fried last night was delicious, but I didn't drink the red wine. I swore that I would never drink again."

Shao Mo turned around and asked, "Did you pick up the things from the trash can and eat them?"

"Yeah, but I didn't finish it. I had no appetite. I couldn't eat anymore after a few bites."

“…”

No wonder I got sick and had a fever. It turned out I ate dirty and cold food.

"Wife, when we get back, can you fry another steak for me? I will definitely eat it all this time."

"We'll talk about it then."

"Wife, you are so nice."

"Don't get too close to me, or you might infect me with your cold."

"I just caught a cold, it's not contagious."

The next day was Sunday. The two took a 10 a.m. flight and arrived at the Beijing Airport safely at 12 noon.

Perhaps out of concern, Shao Lin personally came to the airport to pick up the two people.

As soon as they met, Shao Lin hugged Shao Mo and asked about her well-being and showed great concern. He did not even look at his son-in-law Ling Chuan the whole time. Ling Chuan also knew that he had done something wrong, so he followed the father and daughter without saying a word.

"Momo, don't worry. Linda Wan has been fired by Motorola. As for Ma Xuebin, although he was not the instigator of this incident, he is also involved. Motorola has suspended his position and will probably transfer him to another branch in the future."

After receiving the medical report, Shao Mo immediately wrote a complaint email to the person in charge of Motorola and attached a copy of the medical report.

According to normal procedures, after receiving a complaint, the person in charge of Motorola will generally conduct an investigation first, then discuss with the headquarters to determine the penalty result. The entire process generally takes 3-7 days.

Obviously, the reason why the Motorola executives dealt with Linda Wan and Ma Xuebin so swiftly this time must be because of the pressure from Shao Lin.

Shao Mo couldn't help being moved by this unconditional fatherly love and unconditional favoritism.

"Dad, thank you. We are all so old now, but we still always make you worry."

"Silly child, why are you being so polite to your dad?"
