Shen Qiannuo agreed, but she still wanted to annoy Shen Zhaozhao.

After the New Year’s Eve, Shen Zhaozhao walked upstairs lightly. Mu Yichen walked up to her and said, “The New Year’s gift is on your bedside. Do you want to go and have a look?”

Shen Zhaozhao suddenly felt that her waist and legs were no longer sore and painful.

[I’m fine now. I think I can climb eighty-eight floors! ]

[Of course, if someone takes it seriously, just pretend I never said it. ]

[The male protagonist’s New Year’s gift! ]

The Shen family gave New Year gifts early in the morning, and without exception, they were all very expensive things. Shen Zhaozhao expressed her satisfaction.

Even Shen Qiannuo hypocritically took out a pair of jade bracelets. Shen Zhaozhao said: Who can resist money? She accepted it without any psychological burden.

When she entered the room, Shen Zhaozhao immediately saw a dark black card on the bedside.

[Oh my god, just give me a black card! ]

【How vulgar. 】

[But there is nothing I can do, I am just an ordinary person, hehehe. ]

Shen Zhaozhao held the black card and smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits, like a little mouse that stole a bottle of oil: “This is too expensive, it’s not good.”

[I know how to pretend. I have to pretend not to accept the red envelopes given by elders during the Chinese New Year.]

“Okay.” Mu Yichen stretched out his hand and looked at her with a smile: “I’ll keep it for you?”

Shen Zhaozhao patted his hand expressionlessly.

[You are taking advantage of me. 】

[Don’t even think about cheating me out of my money. Those parents who supposedly help you keep your New Year’s money, in the end, your children don’t get a dime! ]

[No, the male protagonist is not my parent, so I can’t give it back to him. ]

“Well, this is the dividend you deserve, and I added some more.” Mu Yichen gritted his teeth when he said this, because there should have been an extra 100 million in it.

“It’s not a lot of money, only 500 million.”

Shen Zhaozhao’s hand trembled.

[How much? How much do you say? Five hundred million! The male protagonist is really Versailles, this is not enough. ]

[Has Mu Yichen’s company developed to this point? ]

[Did he do something like murder and robbery? ]

[For example, kidneys and so on. ]

[This can’t be stolen money. ]

[Wow, if I take this stolen money, will I be unclean? 】

Perhaps because the expression on Shen Zhaozhao’s face was too vivid, Mu Yichen guessed what Shen Zhaozhao was thinking and said with a little pride: “In fact, I founded Muchen Company. These are the cash flow of Muchen Company.”

[Wait, isn’t Muchen Company the client of Shen Yiyan? ]

[When did the male protagonist’s company change its name? 】

[Forget it, it’s fine as long as we come through the right path. ]

“Don’t tell Mr. Shen about it for now.” Mu Yichen reminded her again. There was nothing he could do. He was not fully grown yet and could not guarantee that Shen Boyan would be willing to marry Zhao Zhao to him.

After hearing this, Shen Zhaozhao held the black card and felt inexplicably blocked in her heart.

“You can use this money to return it to my dad.” Shen Zhaozhao took a deep breath and handed the card back to Mu Yichen: “I won’t tell about the company.”

Mu Yichen’s company is under the name of another bond investment company. Although it has revenue, it is not very popular.

Mu Yichen noticed Shen Zhaozhao’s change of mood and was at a loss: “That’s it? Mr. Shen’s money has not yet been paid back.”

Are you kidding? If I pay it back now, what if Shen Boyan asks me to get out?

Does he dare to use force against his father-in-law?

Well, when the time comes, he still dares.

“Once you pay back the money, you can be free again and spend more time with grandma.” Shen Zhaozhao felt that he should feel relieved.

[The Shen family lent a helping hand to the hero during his most difficult time, so this shouldn’t make the hero jealous. ]

[I can barely be considered the male protagonist’s benefactor. Now is the time to change my fate as a supporting character.]

[Should I be happy?]

Shen Zhaozhao just felt empty inside, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Mu Yichen was a little at a loss. He stood in front of Shen Zhaozhao like a clay statue, motionless. After a long time, she heard his voice hoarse: “But I don’t want to leave.”

Her heart was struck hard, and Shen Zhaozhao suddenly raised her head: “Don’t you want freedom?”

[You can take fewer detours than before, without those humble negotiations, and without being forced to drink too much alcohol in the mall and getting a stomachache.]

[You will no longer be obsessed with things that you cannot get, and your future will be bright and clear. ]

“I am free now. Mr. Shen doesn’t restrict me too much. It is my decision to stay with you.” Mu Yichen didn’t know why Shen Zhaozhao was so worried.

But he would do everything in his power to make her happy.

“Why?” Shen Zhaozhao was a little confused. She wanted to break free from her fate as a supporting actress. In the final analysis, she just wanted freedom.

I want to help the Shen family escape from the plot, and I also want to help them gain freedom.

But someone gave up the thing she had always dreamed of that was right in front of her.

It seemed as if something had broken through the ground and was spreading and growing uncontrollably.

Mu Yichen struggled for a moment, then looked at Shen Zhaozhao’s clear eyes and said, “Shen Zhaozhao saved my life, and I am repaying her.”

Still not wanting to scare Shen Zhaozhao, the love on his lips turned into a thank-you.

Forget it, Shen Zhaozhao, this greedy little fool, just use the money to build a golden nest, and she will follow me obediently.

She is still young and time is still early. I don’t want to constrain her with these likes and love. Her future has infinite possibilities and I just need to accompany her.

Shen Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing what the regret in her heart was.

[Shen’s company has the male protagonist’s blessing, so it will be difficult for them to go bankrupt. ]

[Is this halfway to success?]

“Yes, Mu Yichen.” Shen Zhaozhao hadn’t called him by his full name for a long time. She said in a light voice, “Happy New Year.”

Mu Yichen was a little dazed, and suddenly thought of the biting cold in the county hospital during the Chinese New Year last year.

“Happy New Year,” he heard himself say, and he felt the warmth enveloping his whole body.

After seeing Mu Yichen off, Shen Zhaozhao placed the black card on the table. Looking at the red marks left on her palm by the black card, she was shocked to realize how tightly she had held the black card.

If Mu Yichen wanted to get this card back just now, could he really have drawn it?

[Am I reluctant to do this? ]

[The one who is reluctant to spend money is Mu Yichen.]

Mu Yichen returned to his room, washed up, and lay on the bed to review Shen Zhaozhao’s abnormality. He still hadn’t figured it out.

There was a gentle knock on the door. Mu Yichen sat up suddenly, feeling a little excited.

Unwilling to let the person in his imagination wait for too long, Mu Yichen quickly walked to the door and opened it.

The next second, he closed the door and locked it, and my heart was pounding like a deer.

What an unlucky thing, on New Year’s Day.

Outside the door was Shen Qiannuo, wearing a silk nightgown.

Shen Qiannuo pushed the door, but it didn’t move. She then knocked on another door. This was her way of casting a wide net.
