Chapter 364: The Soft‑waisted Educated Youth Is Again Spoiled by Her Boyfriend 27

After a morning's journey, even if Jin Chen wanted to be affectionate with his wife for a while, he also felt sorry for her obvious fatigue.

After simply packing up the luggage, he looked back at the youth on the bed and only then realized he had fallen asleep at some point.

Jin Chen looked for a while, smiled, drew the curtains, took off his outer clothes, and got into bed to keep him company for a bit.

Perhaps sensing the movement beside him, Mo Zhinan instinctively shifted sideways, and Jin Chen naturally pulled him into his embrace, closing his eyes to rest.

The three underlings downstairs were also exhausted; they didn't bother tidying up after taking off their clothes, and each shut their door and fell into a deep sleep.

Evening.

Mo Zhinan woke up in a dim darkness.

The room had no lights on, the curtain was only opened a crack, and there was little light.

He felt a bit dazed, scratched his head, sat up to collect his thoughts, seemingly wondering where he was.

Perhaps because he had slept too long, upon waking he was accompanied by hunger and a slight dizziness.

The whole room was dark and quiet, yet the sound of traffic downstairs could be faintly heard outside the window.

That sliver of light at the curtain's edge seemed to belong to another world.

In an instant, a feeling of loneliness swept over everything.

"A Chen…"

Mo Zhinan murmured, gazing toward the half‑closed door.

Perhaps the person outside heard the sound; a few seconds later footsteps came, and the bedroom door opened.

Jin Chen turned on the room light, and the sight that met his eyes was the youth half‑wrapped in the quilt, his expression seeming a little aggrieved.

He hurried over a few steps, sat on the bedside, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Mo Zhinan shook his head; his clear almond eyes, stirred by the recent emotion, were veiled with a mist of moisture mixed with the haze of just having woken.

He stretched his arms out from under the blanket, leaned into Jin Chen's embrace, and gently rubbed his cheek against Jin Chen's neck.

Jin Chen held his wife's waist through the blanket, rubbed her head with his other hand, and spoke softly, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"No."

Mo Zhinan's tone was tinged with a soft wetness, his voice barely audible.

"I just woke up to darkness and didn't see you."

"It's my fault; I should have stayed with you until you woke."

Jin Chen pulled the blanket up, placed his palm on the cheek of the person in his arms, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm hungry." Mo Zhinan yawned, and his thoughts gradually cleared.

He felt lazy, clung to Jin Chen's embrace unwilling to rise, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said, "I've slept a long time; you didn't wake me."

"There's nothing much today either; sleeping a bit longer is fine."

Jin Chen simply picked him up, squatted to slip on his slippers, and walked to the living room.

When the two arrived at noon, Mo Zhinan was already a bit drowsy and hadn't paid much attention to the décor.

Only now did he notice that the layout was warm and cozy, like a real home.

Jin Chen held him onto the sofa, and he naturally leaned back, continuing to survey the floor's decoration.

Jin Chen poured a cup of water and handed it over, saying, "We'll be staying here for a while; is there anything you don't like about it?"

"It's quite good."

Mo Zhinan held the cup, took a sip, and found nothing dissatisfying.

He's never been picky about lodging; even the run‑down courtyard in Fengshu Cun was livable for him.

"As long as you're by my side, I can live anywhere."

Mo Zhinan blurted that out unexpectedly, his voice soft, his eyes full of reliance.

Jin Chen, who had been about to rise for the kitchen, paused slightly, leaned in to kiss his wife's lips, and looked quite pleased.

"All right… hurry up and prepare something to eat."

Seeing him lean to deepen the kiss, Mo Zhinan softly pushed his shoulder, acting coquettish, and whispered, "I'm really hungry…"

Jin Chen sighed, "We'll make up for it tonight."

Having said that, he smiled, rubbed his wife's suddenly flushed cheek, and got up to go to the kitchen.

"Shameless…"

Mo Zhinan shrank into the sofa, felt his heated cheek with the back of his hand, and quickly took another sip of water.

Yet his almond eyes were full of smiles.

"【Villain Heartthrob Value +10, total 80!】"

The three underlings had already gone out to eat, so Jin Chen didn't prepare much for dinner—just enough for the two of them.

Both knew that from tomorrow they'd have to busy themselves with the clothing factory affairs, so they were especially enjoying this rare leisurely evening.

After an overly long nap, falling asleep at night would surely be difficult.

Jin Chen, of course, put it into practice, helping his beloved wife drift into sleep.

——

Next day.

Early that morning, Songshang and Guli rushed to the small western‑style building, telling Jin Chen they had settled today's meeting and cooperation, but the bad news was that the person in charge of the Zhang family—Zhang Zhishuai's father—intended to discuss a second round of cooperation today.

So the factory boss directly scheduled both parties for the same time slot, meaning the higher bidder wins.

Upon learning this, Jin Chen realized it was likely a case of sending juniors to test the waters, with the elder coming on behalf of his son to cause trouble.

"Jin Ge, are we really going to clash head‑on with the Zhang family?"

Lv Erding couldn't gauge Jin Chen's thoughts, didn't hesitate, and asked directly.

"The situation is such that even if we don't provoke them, the Zhang family won't let up."

Jin Chen sat on the sofa, his eyes deep and gloomy.

We might as well strike first.

"What should we do?" Xu Xiaoliu asked.

Everyone also turned to look at him, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Songshang Dage, please hire some security guards—tall and big, as sturdy as possible."

Jin Chen suddenly spoke up with the order; although the request was baffling, Songshang still went to handle it right away.

"【Host, are you hiring security so no one gets beaten to death by you?】"

"【...... Can you think of something nice for me?】"

"【Don't worry, we'll crush the Zhang family with money!】"

0731 immediately got excited, 【Time-limited task: Please spend 50,000 within ten hours】.

Jin Chen's mouth twitched as he silently cursed the prodigal.

Mo Zhinan remained uneasy and asked him again, "Can we successfully secure the factory's usage rights?"

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Jin Chen patted his hand.

Two hours later, the fully prepared group set off for the restaurant to discuss cooperation.

Along with the ten sturdy men Songshang had hastily hired.

——

Tongxin Restaurant.

When Jin Chen got out of the car, he attracted the attention of many people at the entrance.

He wore a black shirt with gold embroidery, sported a big pompadour, and wore a thick gold chain, looking full of swagger.

His cold look resembled the "black boss" often mentioned in newspapers, making people apprehensive, especially with ten fierce-looking men trailing behind him.

Jin Chen ushered the helpless Mo Zhinan into the restaurant, and wherever they went, passersby instinctively stepped aside two meters.

Mo Zhinan: "......"

He had never felt so showy before.

He furtively twisted Jin Chen's waist, leaned close, and whispered low, "We're not even in the private room yet—could you lower your presence?"

"Oh......"

Jin Chen responded softly, and his walking posture returned to normal.
