A whirlwind marriage leads to doting affection; the husband pampers her every night.

Chapter 188 Picking Up My Wife

After setting down their glasses, only Moze's glass remained untouched. He turned around and poured himself a glass of mineral water.

"Second brother, you've gone too far!" Lu Xiaowu shouted.

"I still need to pick up Niannian later, and it's not convenient for me to drive after drinking," Mo Ze explained.

Fine, I won't drink then.

Who can blame them when their brothers, one or two of them, all consider their wives the most important person?

Then the group sat down at the mahjong table and started playing mahjong.

Lu Xiaowu was as attentive as a waiter, serving his brothers drinks and food, circling the mahjong table tirelessly. Every now and then, he would show off his brothers' mahjong skills, thoroughly enjoying himself.

The group played several rounds without much of a winner or loser; tonight's results were evenly matched.

Around 10:30, Mo Ze received a WeChat message from Shen Nian saying that they were almost done.

Moze glanced at his phone and said to the others, "I'm leaving after this round."

Lu Xiaowu was the first to jump up, "Why, Second Brother? It's still early, not even eleven o'clock yet! Let's play a few more rounds!"

Mo Ze looked at Lu Xiaowu and asked, "You don't even like playing mahjong, so why are you so eager to play?"

"I just wanted to have a little more time together since it's a rare get-together," Lu Xiaowu explained with a cheerful laugh.

Tang Yichen glanced at his watch. "Finish this lap and we're done."

Qin Hao and Ji Fengfan nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Anyway, no one listened to Lu Xiaowu and played a little longer.

Lu Xiaowu angrily slammed his wine glass on the table. "What are you doing!"

"You've all left, what am I going to do?" Lu Xiaowu asked.

"Self-touching," Tang Yichen shouted, then stood up and went to get his clothes and coat.

He glanced at Lu Xiaowu and said, "It's getting late. I'm going home to be with my wife and kids."

Qin Hao and the others also stood up.

"I have to go back too. I'm worried about leaving Wan'er home alone." Qin Hao said, grabbing his coat and preparing to leave.

Lu Xiaowu pulled him back, "Third Brother, Wan'er isn't a child anymore, what are you worried about? Don't go."

"No, I really have to go back." Qin Hao patted Lu Xiaowu's shoulder, still determined to leave.

Mo Ze, Tang Yichen, and Qin Hao were all standing at the door. Ji Fengfan was also putting on his coat, and Lu Yan looked at them with a mournful expression.

Finally, she placed her hopes on Ji Fengfan, childishly reaching out her arm to stop him, "Fourth Brother, you're not allowed to leave. Stay and drink with me. Anyway, Qianqian is out attending an event and isn't home, so you can't fool me."

Ji Fengfan was naturally eager to go home and be with his wife. He smiled and said to Lu Yan, "Qianqian is coming back tonight. I'll go buy some of her favorite braised food later and then pick her up from the airport."

Well, he's all alone, with no one to keep him company when he goes home.

Lu Xiaowu angrily sat down on the sofa, "You all go, I'll stay here alone."

The older brothers actually opened the door and prepared to leave.

Lu Xiaowu hurriedly followed, pulling Ji Fengfan along, "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, can you take me with you tonight? I'll go to the airport with you to pick up Qianqian, and when we get back I'll help you take care of Xiaoxing. How about you have some alone time?"

He just didn't want to go back alone.

Upon hearing this, Ji Fengfan thought it sounded pretty good and immediately agreed to take Lu Xiaowu with him.

The five men ended their brief get-together and went home to find their wives.

-

Moze drove the car back to the entrance of the barbecue restaurant.

He called Shen Nian from his car, telling her he was waiting for her at the entrance, and added, "No rush, there are parking spaces available, take your time."

After Shen Nian hung up the phone, Lin Ling asked, "Is your CEO Mo here?"

Shen Nian nodded and asked curiously, "How did you know?"

"Didn't you just answer Mr. Mo's call? You looked so shy and demure," Lin Ling said.

"...I didn't~" Shen Nian unconsciously gave her a flirtatious wink.

Lin Ling exaggeratedly clutched her chest, "Don't look at me like that, my heart is racing."

Wu Sisi smiled faintly, but glanced outside several times. When she heard that Mo Ze had arrived, her heart seemed to race.

Some thoughts, once they arise, will grow wildly...

She simultaneously condemned herself for spying on her friend's husband, while also telling herself that Shen Nian and President Mo's relationship was never a normal romance or marriage; it was a transaction. And besides, was it wrong to strive for a better life for herself?!

Seeing that Shen Nian has now become a project team leader, and that an intern is in charge of such an important matter in the project department of JK Group, it must be because Mo Ze is paving the way for her.

And Lin Ling, she also went so smoothly, from odd jobs to acting, in such a short time, all because her boss was Qin Yiche, whom she knew.

Even Chen Jia, who has never been a very hard-working student, actually passed the civil service exam and is now preparing for the interview.

It seems like she's the worst of the four people in the dorm.

She wasn't valued during her internship and was always doing odd jobs for others. Although it was Shen Nian's family company and she personally introduced her to the job, she didn't receive any special treatment. She should have just gone to find the job herself in the first place.

She could have simply said hello and given her some consideration, but she didn't. If she hadn't shown it today, Shen Nian probably wouldn't have thought to talk to President Mo.

Wu Sisi was filled with resentment and discontent.

Back in school, we were all the same – poor students, attending classes every day, eating in the cafeteria, and occasionally having a hot pot meal outside was considered a big meal. We'd stay in our dorms watching dramas, and no one was better off than anyone else, nor was anyone much worse off than anyone else.

Graduation brings a whole new sense of difference.

Wu Sisi didn't see Mo Ze come in, so she asked Shen Nian, "Nian Nian, isn't President Mo coming in?"

Shen Nian didn't think much of it and nodded in agreement, "He said the car is parked in the parking lot at the entrance and he's probably not coming in."

"Let's go then, it's about time," Lin Ling said.

"Okay." Shen Nian and Wu Sisi responded at the same time, and the three of them packed their things together and stood up.

Lin Ling rushed to pay the bill, saying that she had received her salary.

Two days ago, she received a transfer of 100,000 yuan from Qin Yiche. She counted it several times and couldn't believe she had so much money in her account.

Then, like a little miser, I saved it up.

She hasn't told Shen Nian and the others about her relationship with Qin Yiche yet.

I just haven't found a suitable opportunity to say it.

She's been very busy filming lately. Actually, in the first month, Qin Yiche didn't need to use her as a shield, so she practically got the 100,000 yuan for free.

On the first day after receiving it, she felt a little uneasy, so she cooked a table full of dishes for Qin Yiche to eat when he came back that evening.

She subtly implied that she hadn't done anything and had received the money for nothing.

Qin Yiche didn't seem to care. "Take it. I don't need the 100,000. It'll be fine if you cook me a meal once in a while."

Fine, so you're going to use money to humiliate people, huh?

She didn't hold back at all.

Anyway, she really earned that 100,000 yuan very easily!

She felt so relaxed that sometimes she wondered if she should help Qin Yiche if he liked Shen Nian.
