You'd better look back, Mr. Shen is about to break.

Chapter 130 I like gifts, but I like you even more.

Shen Mochen relentlessly tried to pull her hand, and only when she struggled impatiently did he finally feel comfortable and at ease putting her hand into his arms.

He leaned forward and gently nuzzled her shoulder, like an extremely insecure little dog. "I'm just afraid that one day my sweetheart will change her mind and go find another man behind my back."

"If my darling doesn't like it, I won't ask again."

"..." Yu Nanqing was silent for a moment. After he finished speaking, she turned over and bit his lips. "I won't change my mind. I did say before that you could ask me for confirmation over and over again, but you keep asking, which makes me feel like you don't trust me at all."

Shen Mochen stared at her intently, his eyes shining. He lifted his fingers to twirl her hair, and after a long while, he pressed the back of her head down and covered her red lips with his own.

In the following days, Shen Mochen did indeed become more restrained. He stopped bothering her in the mornings to tell her not to go out, and his phone messages no longer became 99+ if he didn't reply every few minutes. It also seemed that the bodyguards who came and went without a trace were no longer around.

Yu Nanqing clearly noticed Shen Mochen's change. As soon as she stepped into the company, she sent Shen Mochen a heart-shooting emoji.

The investor who handed out his business card to everyone yesterday seems to be very interested in their group's project, as he has been coming to the company every day to talk to them these past few days.

The investment contract was officially signed at the end of December.

Yu Nanqing had already started preparing a New Year's surprise gift for Shen Mochen when she heard that Ye Ran was preparing a New Year's gift for that wild guy.

She hopes that she can spend New Year's Eve with Shen Mochen this year, next year, the year after next, and every year thereafter.

In order to keep Shen Mochen from discovering the surprise she had prepared, she kept it a secret and didn't let him see anything.

She was eager to sign the contract quickly and go home to celebrate the New Year with Shen Mochen, so she got up very early in the morning.

What she didn't expect was that Shen Mochen got up even earlier than her. When she came out of her room, Shen Mochen was preparing a loving breakfast, holding ketchup in his hand and squeezing it onto the sandwiches on the plate.

Yu Nanqing paused, unconsciously slowing her pace, intending to give Shen Mochen more time to prepare.

The feeling of preparing surprises for each other was subtle, and Yu Nanqing felt a surge of excitement and anticipation.

Shen Mochen hadn't seen her just now, as expected. After squeezing out the heart emoji, he glanced up and saw her coming out of the bathroom. He paused for two seconds, then his eyebrows lit up. He took off his apron, strode over, and hugged her tightly. "My sweetie's awake."

"Mmm." Yu Nanqing nodded, reached out and hugged his waist, glancing over his body at the breakfast on the kitchen table. "What did you make? I'm so looking forward to it."

"These are all things that my sweetie loves to eat." Shen Mochen kissed her cheek and led her to sit down at the table.

Yu Nanqing stared at the heart-shaped shrimp cakes on the table, the heart-shaped sandwich with the heart-shaped arc outlined with ketchup, and even the egg fried into a heart shape. After a two-second silence, her heart trembled, and she turned to kiss Shen Mochen's lips. "I like it very much."

Two seconds after she finished speaking, she added seriously, "I like you very much too."

Shen Mochen was satisfied. He hugged her tightly and kissed her several times before taking a gift box out of his pocket and handing it to her.

Yu Nanqing's eyes brightened slightly as she swallowed the egg in her mouth whole.

Inside the box was a beautiful necklace with a light purple butterfly diamond.

Although Shen Mochen usually buys her a lot of jewelry and bags, this special holiday makes her even more excited.

"Do you like it, sweetie?" he asked softly, wiping her face and kissing her.

"I like it." Yu Nanqing nodded, remembering that she had just eaten eggs, so she didn't take the initiative to kiss him.

She was still wearing the heart-shaped necklace that Shen Mochen had secretly put on her neck early yesterday morning, and she had temporarily placed the one in her hand on the table, planning to put it in the jewelry box later.

She had placed a tracking device or something in the heart-shaped necklace around her neck, but she had no proof, so she simply pretended not to know. Even when Shen Mochen was staring at her neck, she deliberately turned her head to look elsewhere, so as not to give him any clues.

Look at her, what a wonderful person she is.

Shen Mochen should be secretly happy to have married a wife like her.

The two spent a while in a passionate embrace, but the lingering, ambiguous feeling vanished completely with the ringing of the phone.

Because of Shen Mochen's surprise, Yu Nanqing was in a hurry to leave. After answering the phone, she hurriedly drank a sip of milk, grabbed her bag, and went out the door, forgetting even the jewelry box that she had carefully placed on the table like a precious jewel.

As Shen Mochen watched her busy at work, a bitter feeling welled up inside him, almost overwhelming him.

Yu Xiaoqing never even considered giving him a New Year's gift.

She didn't even plan to stay home with him that day; instead, she chose to go out and do that awful job.

He stood at the door, staring at Yu Nanqing like a statue waiting for his wife, his fingertips lightly gripping the doorknob. When she returned, he concealed the gloom on his face and forced a normal smile, "Remember to come back early, my dear. I want to watch the midnight fireworks with you."

"Hmm." Yu Nanqing nodded solemnly, her heart in utter turmoil at his words.

She would come back very early, carrying gifts, which would surprise him.

Only after her figure disappeared from sight did Shen Mochen turn away and go back to his room. He tidied up the unfinished breakfast, and his fingertips finally landed on the lonely jewelry box.

I don't know why, but my heart suddenly ached for no reason.

He raised an eyebrow, picked up the delicate rose-red box, turned and went into the room. He smoothed out the necklace and put it into a transparent jewelry box, placing it neatly among the others.

He had just finished doing all that when he received a task from the system.

This was the fifth mission he had undertaken since being bound to the enemy. In the previous missions, the other party seemed to want him dead, but this time it seemed different.

He glanced casually at the mission guide, his gaze settling on the words "Ultimate Mission" in bold red.

His fingertips twitched slightly. [What does "ultimate mission" mean?]

"[This means that as long as the host follows our instructions to complete this part of the story, the mission points will be maxed out.]" The system said, glancing at him before focusing its gaze and continuing, "[In other words, the host will be able to completely break free from the control of the storyline and become a character with independent consciousness and abilities.]"

Shen Mochen had originally decided that he would not go out regardless of whether the system gave him a task today or not.

However, things always change faster than planned.

This is the ultimate mission.

After changing his clothes and going out, he unexpectedly ran into the old lady in the elevator. She had been helped by his sweetheart before and had praised him and his sweetheart as a match made in heaven. He twitched his brow slightly and greeted her politely in a low voice.

Upon seeing him, the old woman recognized him immediately. She was momentarily excited, and after stammering for a while, she finally uttered the words that matched his features, "That...that...cool-faced, long-legged young man!"
