Chapter 537 Engagement (8)
Fu Nancheng was silent for a moment before he spoke, "Check if there’s surveillance in the areas where the cash was dropped twice. See if it can be determined from which floor and which window the money was dropped. Track down the owner of the room.""Yes, young master."
"If you can’t find out, cross-reference the people who were in the area both times this happened."
"Yes."
"Investigate how the promised money is being fulfilled. If it’s through bank transfer, trace the transfer account."
"Yes."
"Keep a close eye on the Chen family and the Shen family. See if they’re involved in this matter."
"Yes, young master."
Fu Nancheng’s expression darkened slightly. He couldn’t believe the other party was truly so meticulous that they didn’t leave any trace!
After hanging up the phone, Fu Nancheng checked the time.
It was already close to eight o’clock, and he estimated Qiao Mo would wake up soon.
He turned to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, though his mind was still somewhat restless.
He didn’t like this feeling, the sense of things being out of control.
Sure enough, Qiao Mo had a restless sleep, and before long, she came running out in her nightgown, still half-asleep.
"Fu Nancheng... you got up early."
"Go wash up."
"Oh..."
Qiao Mo looked at the figure in the kitchen, feeling reassured.
After washing up, she felt much more awake and ran to the kitchen to cling to him, hugging his waist from behind without saying a word.
He spoke gently, "Didn’t sleep well?"
"Slept well," Qiao Mo said softly, pressing her cheek against his back.
"Go wait outside, there’s a lot of smoke," Fu Nancheng said in a deep voice. The small apartment she rented wasn’t well-equipped, and once he started cooking, there’d be a lot of smoke. He was worried she would feel uncomfortable.
"No."
He sighed lightly, helpless, and had to put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands before turning around to look at her.
"Still worried about Qiao Dehou?" Fu Nancheng gently held her face and spoke softly.
Seeing the deep red in his eyes, she paused, "You... didn’t sleep, did you?"
"I did."
"Really?"
"Really."
Qiao Mo didn’t believe him but said no more.
"Fu Nancheng, will you ever leave me?" Qiao Mo asked softly, suddenly feeling very afraid.
"No."
She buried her head in his embrace, her eyes moist, and murmured, "Fu Nancheng..."
"Hmm?" He rubbed her head.
Qiao Mo didn’t speak.
After a few seconds of silence, he said softly, "If you want to postpone the engagement, we can talk about it later."
Qiao Mo was stunned again and didn’t respond.
Is it because he knows she’s in a bad mood that he’s ready to change the date?
Yet he was clearly so looking forward to it...
Thinking about all that he had handled alone recently, tears welled up in her eyes. She looked up, pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, and said, "What is it? You don’t want to marry me anymore?"
He chuckled softly and tapped her little nose.
Qiao Mo stood on tiptoe to hug his neck and leaned on his shoulder, "I don’t care, I’m getting engaged the day after tomorrow. You were the one who approached me first, don’t think about leaving me."
There was a doting gleam in his eyes as he lifted her by the waist.
"What are you doing?"
"Breakfast."
"But... isn’t it not ready yet?"
"Hmm, I’ll have you first."
Qiao Mo’s cheeks flushed, and she shook her head, "But... I’m hungry... I haven’t eaten yet."
His large hand had already slipped inside her clothes, and gentle kisses fell upon her, "It’s okay, I’ll feed you."
"Scoundrel..."
Fu Nancheng looked down, feeling extraordinarily satisfied.
It wouldn’t be long before this little one would be his wife, would it?
