After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 219 Something happened

Gu Mo paced around the conference room for a while, then, feeling that the discussions outside should have stopped, she finally went out.

Sure enough, even though everyone saw her come out, they pretended not to see her and continued doing what they were doing.

Only Old Mo came to greet them.

"You didn't have a fight with President Jiang, did you?"

I asked, puzzled, "What's all the noise about?"

Old Mo took a deep breath. "I heard you've moved behind the scenes. I thought you were going to cause trouble again."

I couldn't help but chuckle; so this is how Lao Mo sees me.

After explaining the follow-up matters to him, my phone rang again. It was Shen Yan.

"Momo, are you alright?"

As soon as the call connected, she couldn't wait to ask.

I knew what she meant. Holding my phone, I walked to the stairwell and said, "It's okay, Shen Yan. I accept my fate."

I felt that what I said made no problem, but I couldn't explain the reasons to her over the phone.

But Shen Yan didn't interpret it that way.

She sighed deeply, and then, as if making a firm decision, her voice rose considerably.

"Since that's the case, let's make things difficult for him! Let's go shopping this afternoon and extort a hefty sum from Jiang Yichen!"

"Miss Shen Yan, I still have to go to work." I said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"What?! He actually wants to make you work? No way, I'll pick you up later, we have to visit all the luxury stores today!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for my agreement. She really is a young lady, just like I was back in the day.

I smiled, but upon reflection, what she said made sense. Since Jiang Yichen had transferred my job, I decided to make him suffer too.

As I stood before Jiang Yichen's office, I pondered how much money I should spend to inflict pain on this tycoon.

Before I could decide, the door opened.

"Come in, you're acting suspiciously at the door."

Jiang Yichen opened the door, and I walked in with a straight face.

"I want to go out!"

"Are you crazy?" Jiang Yichen didn't even look up.

"I...I'm going out to play!"

"With whom?" His tone softened immediately.

“With Shen Yan.” I spread my hands. “Give me money when we go shopping.”

Jiang Yichen looked up and glanced at me with interest: "Gu Mo, I'm your boss. How can you be so brazen as to ask me for money after skipping work?"

I guiltily withdrew my hand, as if I were in the wrong.

Jiang Yichen took my hand again, stroked it for a while, and then took out a black card from the drawer.

"Spend it as you like, fill in the Jiang family's address, don't take it yourself, I'll pick you up after get off work, don't wander off."

"As ordered!"

I fled the office as if I were escaping.

Little did I know that after I left, Lin Nan hurriedly walked in.

"Jiang Yichen, Gu Mo has run away again!"

"I know."

"Then how can you still laugh?"

Lin Nan's chest heaved with anger, while the two men remained calm and composed, making her seem like an old woman.

"Lin Nan." Jiang Yichen called out, finally unable to hold back his laughter, and said in a boastful tone, "Momo is going shopping with my money. My money."

Lin Nan rolled her eyes. "You're crazy."

On the other side, Lin Nan and I were browsing in a luxury store when I caught a glimpse of a man out of the corner of my eye.

But when I turned around again, there was no one behind me.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Yan tugged at my sleeve as I drifted off into thought.

"I have a feeling that someone is following us." I said with a serious expression.

Shen Yan looked around and said, "Let's go check out that shop."

We randomly entered a store, picking out clothes with our hands, but our eyes were always looking outside. We looked for a long time but didn't see a single person.

"Could it be that you've been too stressed lately?"

I rubbed my neck, which I had been stretching for too long. My intuition told me I was right, but since I had no proof, I had to give up.

Because of my suspicions, I had no desire to continue shopping. I accompanied Shen Yan to buy a bunch of things and then left.

To get revenge on Jiang Yichen, Shen Yan used Jiang Yichen's credit card to buy everything.

After we parted, I glanced at the time. It was still early before I got off work, so I didn't call Jiang Yichen and walked home alone.

As dusk fell and the streetlights suddenly came on, I walked along the road, and this feeling became very strong again.

This time, however, I didn't turn back. Instead, I found a small alley and hid, clutching the pepper spray I had bought earlier.

Sure enough, a tall figure appeared at the alley entrance, searching for something. I quickly pulled out a small knife and held it to his neck.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?!"

The man was very tall and incredibly strong. He moved very quickly, grabbing my hand and slamming my head against the wall.

I tried to take out my phone, but he slapped it to the ground.

At the critical moment, I took out the pepper spray I had prepared beforehand and sprayed it at him. He was injured and ran away very fast.

I was no match for him, so I didn't chase after him. I picked up my phone from the ground.

My phone was broken, and by the time I returned to the Jiang family home in a disheveled state, it was already dark.

As soon as the door opened, Jiang Yichen was sitting on the sofa, his face darker than the sky.

But when she turned her head and saw my messy hair, she became anxious again.

"Weren't you going shopping? What happened?"

After I told him the whole story, he looked very serious. "Don't worry about this. I'll investigate. Don't go to work for the next few days."

"That won't do. My position was just transferred, and if I leave now, people will start gossiping about me."

“From today onwards, you will be following me around the clock, 24 hours a day.”

I pouted, "You're being way too domineering."

Jiang Yichen pulled me into his arms and said in a comforting tone, as if he had found me again, "Even if it wasn't for me, it was for him."

His palm covered her slightly protruding belly. "We take such good care of you, isn't it all so that you and the baby can be safe and sound?"

Jiang Yichen knew how to manipulate me with just a few words. I could only reluctantly agree.

Looking back, it's still quite frightening. If I hadn't pulled out my pepper spray at the last minute, I don't know if I would be in a dangerous situation right now.

Thinking about this kept me awake all night. I couldn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.

Seeing me tossing and turning, Jiang Yichen simply turned on the light and left without saying a word.

I lowered my eyes and pouted. What kind of man is he? He only cares about me for a couple of days before forgetting about me.

This attitude clearly indicates that I disturbed his sleep.

Just as she was sulking to herself, Jiang Yichen pushed open the door again, holding a glass of milk in his hand.

"Still thinking about tracking him, huh?"

I didn't say anything, I just took the milk. I felt a warm feeling inside.

He took the glass I had finished drinking from, then pulled me into his arms and gently patted my back. In the quiet room, his voice was firm and resonant.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it. Trust me, Momo."

His words had a calming magic, and I fell asleep in no time.

I woke up the next day to the sound of the phone ringing.

"Momo!" Shen Yan's shrill voice rang out, "Quick, check the trending topics! Something's happened!"
