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

"Hahaha, Shang Yu, you've finally met your match! Going through the trash can, how did you even think of that? You could have just called the property management and asked them to find it for you."

Shen Youqing's undisguised laughter came from the study. Early in the morning, he rushed to the store with his documents. When he arrived at the gate, he heard several security guards chatting.

It is said that two people were rummaging through the trash cans in the community in the middle of the night yesterday. At first, they were thought to be the kind of people who pick up scraps, but when they shone a flashlight, someone recognized them and found that they were actually Mr. Shang.

As a result, the security team and property management staff got up in the middle of the night to help Shang Yu rummage through the trash cans.

Finally, Lin Zhao's luggage was found in a trash can in the far corner of the community.

Shang Yu also felt he had gone mad; Lin Zhao told him to rummage through the trash cans, so he did.

They even dragged the community security guard along, but...

Shang Yu thought about how Lin Zhao couldn't hide her joy after finding his luggage, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.

But then I realized it wasn't so bad.

Those eyes look better when they smile, though they're not bad when they cry either.

"Hey! What are you gushing about?!"

Shen Youqing waved his hand, interrupting his thoughts.

Shang Yu closed his eyes and realized that he had been lost in thought about Lin Zhao, but he still didn't think anything of it, guessing that he hadn't slept well.

"Didn't sleep well."

Then he opened his eyes and looked at the person who had dragged him out of bed so early in the morning.

"Why are you here so early?"

Shen Youqing leaned back casually on the sofa.

"The early bird catches the worm. You sleep in every day and have no self-discipline at all. Do you have any of the qualities of a domineering CEO?"

Shang Yu flipped through the documents in front of him with his fingertips; they were Lin Zhao's. His tone was as infuriating as ever.

"The early bird catches the worm."

Shen Youqing was too lazy to argue with him. It was 7:50 now, and the little gardener would be going to water the garden in ten minutes.

He was just waiting for the right time; otherwise, he wouldn't have had time to argue with Shang Yu.

He casually scrolled through videos, laughing heartily at anything interesting he saw.

Shang Yu was making a racket, so he rolled up a wad of paper and threw it at him.

"Why aren't you going to find Shen Ci? What are you doing hanging around here?"

Shen Youqing accepted it perfectly.

"I'm waiting for him to go to work, otherwise I'll get angry again if it's not time yet."

Shang Yu: ...

"Why can't you take him back with you? He keeps coming here to see me every day."

Shen Youqing remained silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh.

"Do you think everyone is like Uncle Shang, completely controlled by Aunt Shang? Take him back, and the Shen family will tear him apart."

Shang Yu glanced at him, said nothing, and continued looking at the documents in his hand.

Shen Ci was brought here by Shen Youqing. It is said that Shen Youqing picked him up by the roadside. When he was found, he was picking up bottles by the roadside.

He was almost kidnapped and forced into prostitution. Perhaps there's a common Chinese tendency to rescue prostitutes, so Shen Ci took him away.

Shen Ci couldn't speak and didn't remember anything at first, not even his name. It was Shen Youqing who gave him that name.

Shang Yu flipped through the documents in his hand. There was only one more page than before, yet it told the whole story of Lin Zhao's life.

He lost both his parents at a young age and grew up in an orphanage. When he was a child, he had a fever that caused him to become incontinent, which made it impossible for anyone to adopt him. He was raised by the orphanage director.

I haven't kept in touch with my friends and classmates since graduation.

I attended New Oriental University.

I just graduated this year, and I haven't stayed at any one place for more than a month.

Shang Yu's gaze fell on the item about incontinence.

His thoughts began to drift away again. No wonder he cried so much; he was sick.

"Alright, I'm off to find my little gardener. You take your time looking around, and don't forget about the suburban projects."

Shen Youqing looked down from the study window and saw two figures carrying water jugs heading towards the garden.

He patted his bottom and stood up, and Shang Yu also stood up and followed him out.

What are you doing?

"I'll go check on Uncle Li."

Shang Yu spoke with a straight face, but Shen Youqing scoffed, glanced out the window again, and said nothing.

The two handsome men standing together were a feast for the eyes. Shen Youqing was a little shorter than Shang Yu, but he was still 1.88 meters tall, and they looked almost the same height with shoes on.

Unlike Shang Yu, Shen Youqing's outfit was more fashionable. His Korean-style hairstyle with a 3/7 parting and wispy bangs accentuated his handsome features, while also giving him a slightly roguish air.

Wearing a light-colored casual suit, without a tie, and with two buttons casually undone, he stood there looking like he was going to shoot a fashion magazine.

Shang Yu, on the other hand, maintained his usual cold and hard style. His black shirt was impeccably tailored, with neat cuffs, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His aura was cold and imposing, and the moment he stood there, an oppressive feeling of "keep away" would overwhelm you.

The two walked out of the study one after the other, their footsteps echoing clearly on the polished marble floor.

Shen Youqing couldn't help but sneer.

"You said you were going to see Uncle Li, but I think you just went to see someone watering their plants."

Shang Yu remained expressionless, his thin lips slightly parted.

"It's better than some people who chase after someone to their home, like they're stalking them."

"That's called caring."

Shen Youqing spoke with righteous indignation.

"Unlike you, you're all talk and no action. You'd be out in the middle of the night rummaging through trash cans with someone. If word got out, the whole industry would laugh their heads off."

Shang Yu paused, glanced at him sideways, and his eyes held a hint of danger.

"If you bring it up again, believe me or not, I'll expose all your dirty secrets to Shen Ci."

Shen Youqing immediately raised his hands in surrender:

"Fine, I'll shut up."

The two walked all the way to the garden.

The morning sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves, falling on that slender figure.

Lin Zhao was carrying a small water bottle, squeezing next to Shen Ci and chattering away, talking incoherently.

Hearing footsteps, he turned around abruptly. The moment he saw Shang Yu, the tips of his ears turned slightly red, and he subconsciously gripped the handle of the kettle, but his eyes sparkled as he looked at him.

Good morning, sir!

(✪ω✪)

Last night, Shang Yu and he went through the trash cans together, and Shang Yu even took the initiative to rummage through them.

Lin Zhao was no longer afraid of him at all.

Shang Yu's heart softened inexplicably, but his face remained expressionless. He only glanced at him briefly, but his steps unconsciously stopped.

Shen Youqing saw everything clearly from the side and chuckled inwardly.

Stop pretending, what are you pretending for?

My eyes are practically glued to you.

Shen Ci also saw the person. He first bowed slightly to Shang Yu, then picked up the water bottle and left without looking at Shen Youqing at all.

"Ci Bao! Wait for me!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci's ears turned bright red, and he ran even faster.

Shen Youqing didn't have time to watch the excitement and quickly chased after them.

Only Lin Zhao and Shang Yu remained in the garden.

Shang Yu wasn't interested in flowers, but Shen Ci did. So Shen Youqing had people bring over all sorts of flowers for him to play with when he had nothing to do.

"You like flowers?"

Shang Yu suddenly spoke.

Lin Zhao shook her head.

"It's alright, I don't really like it."

He was telling the truth.

Shang Yu took a step forward, now only three steps away from him.

"What were you just talking about?"

He had just arrived when he heard Lin Zhao and Shen Ci talking so enthusiastically, and he assumed that Lin Zhao liked Shen Ci too.

Lin Zhao's eyes lit up immediately, and she pointed with great interest to the open space not far away.

"I just told Xiaoci that that vacant lot over there is perfect for growing Chinese cabbages!"

Shang Yu: ...
