Chapter 259: Chapter 150: Xia Shiqing Tears into a Female Executive, Fiercely Protecting Her Husband

The car wasn’t in great condition, but it wasn’t a major problem. He got used to it quickly.

After a few laps, Chen Mo got off the track to rest.

As if still getting used to the track, Xia Shiqing’s beautiful eyes were a little unfocused, her gaze dazed.

"While it’s still in effect, I’ll keep taking it for a few more days. I like this gift from you, and I want to keep receiving it for a little longer."

"Just don’t take this every day normally."

Chen Mo wrapped his arm around her fair shoulder and planted a kiss on her flushed, gorgeous face.

’It’s best not to take this medicine regularly; taking it every day isn’t good for your body.

But I’ve already taken it for a full cycle. It would be a waste to only unwrap the gift once.

I might as well take it for a few more days and give him a few more days of gifts.’

"Mm."

Hearing him, Xia Shiqing slowly came back to her senses. Her graceful body nestled against his as she nodded, feeling languid and weak.

After those few laps on the racetrack, she felt the anxiety and restlessness that had been building up for over a week instantly vanish.

She felt grounded, inside and out.

She didn’t know why.

’Could it be true, just like Chen Mo said? Did I miss him?’

’I’ll be staying the night here for the next few days. I should be able to sleep more soundly.

No, wait. I probably won’t be getting much sleep at all.’

"By the way, do you know anyone talented in venture capital?"

His hand quietly summited the snowy peaks. At the same time, something occurred to him, and he looked down to ask her.

"VC?"

Xia Shiqing was a little taken aback by Chen Mo’s sudden question. A look of contemplation and recollection quickly flashed through her beautiful eyes.

"Yeah. Someone transferred a venture capital firm to me. I plan to start with VC and then slowly expand into securities and other businesses."

Chen Mo briefly explained his plan to her.

"I don’t have much contact with people in venture capital..."

Xia Shiqing shook her head, looking up at him with an apologetic gaze.

She didn’t really socialize with people from work in her personal life.

Let alone people who weren’t even in her field; she had even less contact with them.

"It’s fine, I was just asking."

Chen Mo smiled, gave her alluring lips a kiss, and gently pinched her rosy cheek.

He had only asked on a whim, not really expecting Xia Shiqing to be able to introduce him to anyone.

"I’ll keep an eye out for you."

An idea formed in Xia Shiqing’s mind. She decided to ask around for Chen Mo.

Venture capital is also part of the finance world, and they’re all in the Lujiazui area.

As long as she paid a little more attention, she might just find a suitable candidate.

"Okay."

Chen Mo nodded.

After resting for a while, they went to the kitchen and properly started making dinner.

"I bought some cream puffs on the way over. They’re pretty good. Have a taste."

Chen Mo handed the cream puffs he bought to Xia Shiqing, letting her try them.

"Okay."

Xia Shiqing took the cream puff and began to eat it in small bites.

She didn’t actually eat many sweets.

Too much sugar could accelerate aging, and it also made you gain weight.

But since it was Chen Mo who gave it to her, she naturally wouldn’t refuse.

After taking a bite, she saw the white cream inside the puff, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly as something seemed to dawn on her.

She subconsciously glanced at Chen Mo and found him watching her with a smirk.

In an instant, she understood everything.

Her gorgeous face instantly turned crimson.

...

The two of them cooked a sumptuous meal together. Afterward, they cozily cleaned up the kitchen.

They chatted for a bit to let their food settle.

As the saying goes, a full belly leads the mind astray, and Chen Mo was eager to unwrap more of the "thank you" gift from Xia Shiqing.

So, without wasting any time, he pulled her back onto the newly upgraded racetrack.

「The next morning.」

Chen Mo woke up early.

He had a training partner today, so he disciplined himself with about an hour of cardio.

He had to admit, his physique had been getting better and better recently.

He had the type of body that looked lean in clothes but was toned and muscular underneath. His muscle definition was beautiful without being over the top.

’It feels like my body gets a little stronger every time my physique is activated.’

After so many unlucky incidents, Chen Mo had started to figure out a pattern.

His current physique was so different from the beginning, it was like he was a completely different person.

Even if he were to go one-on-one against James right now... he still wouldn’t be able to guard him.

It couldn’t be helped; the height difference was just too great.

But Chen Mo was confident that after a few more unlucky incidents...

...once his physique was strengthened to a more invincible level, he could go one-on-one with anyone.

What he lacked in height, he’d make up for in strength.

Just brute force it. That’s all it would take.

After their cardio session, the two took a shower and changed into fresh clothes.

His closet was now full of Xia Shiqing’s clothes; he had moved most of his own to the villa.

He only kept one or two spare outfits hanging in the closet here.

Seeing that Xia Shiqing was putting on her makeup, Chen Mo tossed the bedsheets and duvet cover into the washing machine.

Xia Shiqing had dripped some cream on the sheets while eating her cream puff yesterday, so they needed a wash.

Then, he opened all the windows in the apartment to air the place out.

Soon, Xia Shiqing finished applying some light makeup, and Chen Mo drove her to work.

The Xihe underground garage.

Xia Shiqing had developed a habit of taking the initiative to kiss Chen Mo whenever they parted.

She hugged Chen Mo and gave him a kiss.

"I admit I missed you yesterday, but only yesterday..."

Xia Shiqing’s gaze was a little evasive. After whispering this in Chen Mo’s ear, she turned and trotted away on her high heels toward the elevator.

"Not bad. Some progress."

Watching her graceful figure as she fled, Chen Mo couldn’t help but smile and nod.

Although Chen Mo didn’t believe for a second that she had only missed him yesterday.

But for her to admit she missed him at all was still a step in the right direction.
