The crybaby nanny was bullied and cried again by her yandere husband.

Upon hearing this, Shang Yu did not object. Instead, he nodded and said calmly.

"Okay, then let's not argue."

Shen Youqing was moved to tears. Finally, someone understood him. It must be that Shang Yu saw that he was acting every day and was working too hard, so he felt that he needed to rest. But the next second, he heard someone say that.

"My house needs a security guard, you can come and work there."

"you……"

Shen Youqing felt a lump in his throat and almost couldn't catch his breath.

He knew that Shang Yu was always blunt and harsh in his speech, but every word he said made sense.

The Shen family, with their wolfish ambitions, had long regarded him as a thorn in their side.

Even if he were truly willing to give up and back down, they would never let him off easily.

As long as he remains a member of the Shen family, those people will not hesitate to completely eliminate him, leaving him no way out.

At that point, he had nothing left and nowhere to go. He might really have no choice but to become a security guard, just like Shang Yu had suggested...

"Shang Yu, do you think Ci Bao can understand me?"

Shang Yu glanced at him sideways and looked out the window.

"If he truly understood you, he wouldn't just look at the surface-level right and wrong."

His tone was calm, but it made Shen Youqing laugh self-deprecatingly.

He put on an act in front of the Shen family all day long, pretending to be a playboy to lower their guard.

She didn't expose any of her weaknesses or vulnerabilities, and didn't dare to say much even in front of Shen Ci, only telling him to wait.

However, sometimes when I see his angry and upset eyes, I feel terrible too.

But he dared not say it, dared not truly express his feelings, for fear that one day he would be dragged down and implicate Shen Ci.

He knew he was a jerk; he shouldn't give people hope only to disappoint them, but he couldn't just let Shen Ci go completely.

Only in front of Shen Ci could he truly relax.

"But I'm afraid..."

Shen Youqing's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice filled with barely concealed unease.

"I'm afraid he'll think I'm only after the Shen family's power, afraid he'll think I can't give him a good life, afraid he'll find being with me troublesome, and afraid he'll distance himself from me."

He was living in a quagmire, struggling desperately, his only thought being Shen Ci. If even that thought was gone, he didn't know how much longer he could hold on.

Shang Yu remained silent for a long time before speaking softly.

"Shen Ci isn't as shallow as you think. Whether he's afraid or you're afraid, you know the answer in your heart."

Shen Youqing lowered his head. It was him; he was afraid.

Seeing his dejected appearance, Shang Yu added without any mercy.

"If you don't even have this much confidence, you'd be lucky to even become a security guard at my house."

Shen Youqing almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Even after so many years of getting used to his sharp tongue, he still found it hard to handle.

He was genuinely curious.

"Shang Yu, do you talk to everyone like that?"

Shang Yu was puzzled.

"What's the problem?"

"No problem, I'm really curious about what your dating life is like."

Dating him would probably be a nightmare; I might just find myself giving him a bowl of poison to make him mute one day.

Why can't it be him who can't speak?

It's really pitiful that his adorable Cibao can't speak even though he wants to.

"I'm not good at dating, it's too much trouble."

Shang Yu watched Shen Youqing and Shen Ci's love-hate relationship every day, and it gave him a headache.

I have absolutely no desire to be in a relationship; it's such a hassle.

It's better to be alone and have some peace and quiet.

Shen Youqing rolled his eyes, laughing so hard. People who make promises like this usually get slapped in the face the hardest. He was waiting for it.

Lin Zhao and Shen Ci went out together and went to a shopping mall near the villa.

It has everything you could possibly need, except for one thing...

Lin Zhao looked at the apple in his hand, which was wrapped in a film and priced at 39.9 yuan, and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

The little money he had in his pocket wasn't even enough to buy an apple. What a wicked capitalist!

After purchasing everything according to the list given by Uncle Li, Shen Ci typed a message to Lin Zhao.

Is there anything else you need?

Shen Ci shook his head. The kitchen had everything it needed, and the vegetables and fruits were delivered by a dedicated person.

There's not much to buy; he's just here to familiarize himself with the surrounding amenities.

Shen Ci then pulled Lin Zhao to the seed area.

Lin Zhao thought he wanted to buy flower seeds.

"Do you want to buy flower seeds? What kind of flowers? Magnolia? Tulips?"

Shen Ci's lips curled into a smile.

Lin Zhaocai said this morning that we could plant vegetables in the open space behind the house, and then Mr. Shang said he would buy some cabbage seeds.

It's obvious who it's for, but Shen Ci sees through it but doesn't say it.

In any case, Mr. Shang isn't as fickle as Shen Youqing. If they could really get together, that would be great.

My husband asked me to buy more cabbage seeds, but I don't know how to choose them. Could you take a look?

"gentlemen?"

Lin Zhao repeated.

Yes, the master specifically instructed that.

When Lin Zhao saw those words specifically instructed, she felt her face burning for some reason, and her speech became somewhat unnatural.

"Sir, you're so kind."

Shen Ci nodded and told him to go and choose.

Lin Zhao carefully selected and bought several packets of cabbage seeds.

His hand kept lingering on other vegetable seeds. The man said he wanted to buy more cabbage seeds, but he didn't know if he could buy other kinds.

Shen Ci noticed his hesitation and started typing.

You can buy other things too, it depends on what you want to grow. The master won't say anything.

Lin Zhao then began to choose freely, and as she picked, she spoke up whenever she thought of something.

"Are there any mushroom cultivation bags here?"

Do you want to grow mushrooms?

Lin Zhao nodded. The gentleman seemed to really enjoy eating mushrooms and the like.

That's all. If it's not there, then that's it.

Lin Zhao was somewhat disappointed, but didn't say anything. He figured he could just buy one at PXX later; after all, PXX was cheaper, and his money should be about the same.

The two pushed the cart to pay, but Lin Zhao's eyes immediately fell on an apron in the kitchenware section.

It's brown, with a little bear wearing a chef's hat on it, just like the little bear that the headmistress gave her.

The villa also had aprons, but they were pure black. They weren't bad-looking, but they lacked originality.

Lin Zhao doesn't have many hobbies, but she likes all kinds of aprons. She also enjoys cooking while wearing a nice apron.

He rushed forward, but the moment he saw the price, he immediately let go, afraid of damaging it.

(งᵒ̌ᵒ̌)ง⁼³₌₃

An apron costs 299!

The total cost is more than his entire outfit. Forget it, I'll just go to PXX and buy it instead.

But he didn't notice that the apron was bought after he left.
