At that moment, countless speculations came to her mind.
Thief? Robber?
Or... a ghost?
As a result, when the black shadow in front of him stood still, Shen Youyou realized that it was actually Zhou Sheng.
"You...why are you here?"
Zhou Sheng was wearing the bathrobe from the guest house, his chest was slightly open, and his strong chest muscles were clearly displayed there, giving off an alluring sheen.
He just stood there, doing nothing, but looking at it, it looked like a world-famous painting, so the surrounding environment seemed even more out of place.
He walked towards Shen Youyou, his bangs still wet on his forehead.
"Why let them go?"
"If you don't leave, let others use it as an excuse? If Liu Hui is here, she will definitely find ways to exploit her."
"Liu Hui?"
Zhou Sheng showed some curiosity about this new name.
Upon seeing this, Shen Youyou immediately told what Liu Hui had done to make things difficult for him and make sarcastic remarks about him.
"This kind of person can be dealt with directly."
"No offense, I just want to keep her to explore Xu Xiao's background."
Zhou Sheng's eyes narrowed sharply in an instant.
But he didn't ask, but waited for Shen Youyou to tell him.
"Ever since I found out that Xu Xiao helped me fill out the registration form, I have been guessing why she brought me here? But I guessed for a long time, but I didn't expect it."
"But now that I have seen Liu Hui, I think there is still a chance to find out the truth, because if she is really arranged by Xu Xiao, then she will definitely inform Liu Hui if anything happens."
"So what if you know? Will you fight back?"
Opposite Xu Xiao, Zhou Sheng felt that Shen Youyou's heart could not harden yet.
Shen Youyou seemed to understand the meaning of Zhou Sheng's words, so she bit her lip and said, "This is the last chance I give her."
Zhou Sheng sighed and hugged Shen Youyou into his arms.
As he lowered his head, his chin gently rested on the top of her head.
"Sometimes being soft to others is being cruel to yourself, and Youyou, you have to understand that if the bad guy comes back after being exposed, the noise will definitely be bigger than before."
"So I want to know even more, why can she be so cruel to me?"
"Just for this, are you willing to take the risk? Is it worth it?"
"Of course it's not worth it, so the biggest reason is naturally you."
Zhou Sheng's expression instantly softened. He stretched out his hand to rub the top of Shen Youyou's hair. After a while, he said warmly, "This time, it's me who has caused trouble for you."
"What are you talking about? How can a husband and wife be involved in each other?"
Shen Youyou also hugged Zhou Sheng with her backhand, and then gently rubbed her head against Zhou Sheng's chest.
But just this one action instantly ignited his desire.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Didn't you just do it yesterday?"
"I still want it."
"Don't be ridiculous, I'm pregnant."
"I'll be gentle."
The small room was filled with sweetness. Zhou Sheng held Shen Youyou in his arms, caressing and kissing her body over and over again.
In the villa in Nancheng, Yuan Chunxiang was sitting upright on the sofa, and Ade stood beside him, telling him everything about Zhou Sheng's secret trip to Lanzhou County.
"Really? The news is reliable?"
Yuan Chunxiang smiled involuntarily, while Ade nodded beside him.
"It's absolutely true. I've already checked with someone at the airport about the chartered flight."
"I knew that as long as Shen Youyou left, he would definitely be unable to hold it in. Hey, he looks like a very shrewd and difficult-to-deal-with face, but who would have thought that he is a love brain?"
Ade nodded beside him, his eyes full of admiration for Yuan Chunxiang.
"Then what are the madam's plans next?"
"What do you mean, you forgot what day tomorrow is?"
“Opening Day at Aegean Mall.”
"So, do you think, if Zhou Sheng cannot come back in time for such an important day, what will the outside world say about him, and what will the master think of him?"
"Madam, I think it's not enough just to catch up. It might be better if we do something more exciting."
"What do you have in mind?"
Ade nodded, then leaned into Yuan Chunxiang's ear and spoke out his idea.
Yuan Chunxiang's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Okay, let's do it like this. I'll get more media reports when the time comes. I'd like to see how the master can insist on giving this position to him when the outside world unanimously criticizes him!"
Zhou Sheng got up at five o'clock in the morning because today was the grand opening day of the Aegean Shopping Center, so he had to rush back earlier.
Shen Youyou also got up. After washing and dressing up, he said that he would send him out in person. Zhou Sheng did not refuse, so he took Shen Youyou's hand and walked out of the guest house together.
But Mo Yu's car never came.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhou Sheng finally couldn't stand it anymore. He took out his mobile phone with a straight face, but the call he dialed could not be reached.
"What's going on? Could it be that Mo Yu hasn't gotten up yet?"
"Won't."
Zhou Sheng denied it flatly.
"He has a very strong sense of time. After so many years, whatever time I say is what time it is."
"And he never leaves his cell phone and doesn't mute it."
"What's going on?"
Zhou Sheng frowned, and a thick layer of fog suddenly appeared on his cold face.
"Something must have happened."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yu appeared again.
He was covered in mud and only had one shoe on his feet. When he saw Zhou Sheng, although he looked embarrassed, the respect in his eyes was not missing at all.
"Boss, we may not be able to go back today. The mountain skateboard and the car were smashed. I also asked the villagers here on the way here. That road is the only road leading to the airport."
"Landslide?"
"Yes, Lanzhou County is surrounded by mountains and it rains all year round, so landslides are very common. It's my fault that I parked the car on the side of the mountain."
"But don't worry, boss, the government has sent people to repair the road section. I have calculated the time. If it can be repaired before noon, I will definitely be able to reach Nancheng in the evening. However, I will not be able to attend the opening ceremony of the shopping mall."
Zhou Sheng's face showed a bit of deepness. He thought about it carefully, but when his eyes fell on Mo Yu, he didn't feel particularly reproachful.
He just said in a low voice, "As long as everything is fine."
Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, looking up as if he was a little surprised, but in an instant a bright smile appeared on his face.
"It seems the boss is still worried about me."
"Stop talking nonsense, go and keep an eye on the road. We'll leave as soon as the road clears."
"Ah, now? But boss, I have this..."
"Go if I tell you to."
"oh!"
Mo Yu twisted his mouth, revealing a bit of grievance that was inconsistent with his age. Shen Youyou felt a little distressed when he saw it, and quickly blamed Zhou Sheng for being too harsh.
"He is covered in mud. Can you let him wash off before leaving?"
"No?"
Zhou Sheng turned his head, his dark eyes as deep as a cliff.
"I don't know why, but I always have the feeling that if I can't go back, something will happen to the mall."
Sure enough, not long after, something happened at the Aegean Shopping Mall.
