After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

I spent a whole day in the mall trying to prepare for this competition.

Lan Yujuan first picked up her daughter from school. After returning home, she put down her bag, lay down on the sofa, and fell asleep without realizing it.

In a daze, she felt a fluffy little head close to her head, pouting its little mouth, hugging her head and kissing it again and again.

"Mommy~"

"Wake up, it's time for dinner!"

Lan Yujuan opened her eyes groggily, picked up her phone, and before she knew it, more than an hour had passed.

From the direction of the kitchen, the sound of a door being pushed open came, and an enticing aroma wafted over instantly.

"It smells so good!"

Lan Yujuan took a sniff and instantly perked up.

The little one lay on the sofa, giggling, "Daddy made braised eel slices and stir-fried snails with perilla leaves, it was so delicious!"

Just listening to it made Lan Yujuan's mouth water and her appetite increase.

As she sat up, she reached out and gently pinched her daughter's nose, chuckling softly.

"How do you know it's delicious if you haven't even eaten it?"

The little guy tilted his head back and chuckled.

"When the food was ready, Dad let me taste it to see if it was salty, and it was delicious!"

Lan Yujuan stretched, then took her daughter's hand to wash her hands, preparing for dinner.

During dinner, Chen Mo served her food while secretly observing her expression.

She was clearly still worried that she might still feel upset about what happened that afternoon.

Lan Yujuan saw this and also put some eel slices on his plate, smiling as she said:

"Don't worry, I'm fine now!"

"Winning a prize in a competition like this would be ideal, but it's okay if you don't; participation is what matters!"

"Besides, the results of this afternoon's semi-finals are obvious to all."

"Anyone with a brain can see that our failure to make it to the finals is a problem with the organizers and the competition format, not with our ability."

Chen Mo listened attentively, and after a long while, he tentatively asked in a low voice:

"If the organizers can ensure fairness in tomorrow's competition, would you still be willing to participate in the finals?"

Lan Yujuan glanced at him and said quietly:

"There's no such 'what if,' so my answer isn't important."

"That's such a big shopping mall, it's not like we own it. Do we think we can just join whenever we want?"

Chen Mo drank half a bowl of soup, then put down the bowl and was about to speak.

Just then, his phone rang.

Chen Mo picked up his phone, glanced at it, then placed it between the two of them and put it on speakerphone.

"What's up?"

Lan Yujuan glanced at her phone screen and her heart tightened. The call was from Chen Feifei.

She gently placed her left hand on her lower abdomen, wondering how Chen Feifei had recovered during this time.

Soon, Chen Feifei's strong, questioning voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Chen Mo, what exactly happened?"

"My company secretary just called to complain that you've banned all the live streams in the mall?"

Chen Mo calmly put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and replied:

"Yes, that's true."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feifei on the other side gasped in shock.

"Are you crazy?"

"That shopping mall is owned by the Chen family! They finally got this much exposure today, and you just shut it down?"

"I don't care, you have to give me a reason to deal with the company."

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, stretched, and casually draped his arm over Lan Yujuan's chair back, saying leisurely:

"The mall's several live-streaming rooms only get a few hundred viewers to begin with. Don't they know that?"

"Today's massive traffic is traffic that I paid for."

"Even if it's banned, so what? The only one who suffers the loss is the money I invested, and I don't care about that."

Chen Feifei wasn't stupid; she quickly noticed the clues in his words.

"Why would you waste money on advertising in a shopping mall's livestream room?"

Chen Mo raised his hand and scratched his brow, then looked at Lan Yujuan, raised an eyebrow and smiled:

"The TV station and the shopping mall collaborated to hold a coffee competition."

"My wife's newly opened coffee shop also signed up for the competition as a group. I guess I'll just consider it paying for their team building activities!"

Upon hearing this, not only was Chen Feifei stunned, but Lan Yujuan next to her was also astonished, and it took her a while to come to her senses.

She turned to look at Chen Mo, silently asking, "How come I didn't know about this?"

Chen Mo winked at her and made a shushing gesture, "Shh!"

Soon, Chen Feifei on the other end of the phone had guessed most of the situation.

"So, some unpleasant things happened during the match this afternoon, and you want to take this opportunity to teach them a lesson?"

Chen Mo calmly replied, "It's not a lesson."

"Today's data usage was originally intended for my wife."

"That mall manager deliberately made things difficult for my wife in order to promote his niece."

"Are you suggesting I continue to work for his sales targets? Dream on!"
