Chapter 46 A Little Way to Please My Wife

More than an hour later, He Cong washed her clean and carried her out of the bathroom in a bathrobe.

The bedroom temperature control was adjusted appropriately. Shang Youqing was lying lazily on the bed. He Cong was half-knelt beside her, holding her wrist and applying medicine.

Shang Youqing glanced at the insignificant red mark on her wrist, and then glanced at He Cong who was lowering his head with a serious and cautious expression as if he was treating a rare and fragile work of art. In the end, she couldn't help but say: "If you apply it later, the wound won't be found."

He Cong paused, ignored her, and continued to apply medicine to her wrist carefully.

Seeing this, Shang Youqing was too lazy to say anything and simply closed her eyes.

After a while, she felt He Cong climbing up the edge of the bed and silently lying in her arms. Shang Youqing didn't get angry, but reached out and touched his deep-cut facial features.

Her fingertips were still a little damp, and she traced them back and forth along He Cong's superior and tall nose for a few circles.

It was this straight nose that had been rubbing against her just now...

Shang Youqing was still savoring the aftertaste when He Cong suddenly grabbed her fingertips and placed them on his lips for a kiss.

Shang Youqing let him kiss her, and glanced at him with a satisfied look, "Where did you learn that?"

He Cong stroked her slender fingers, and the curve of his lips curved up, "It's just a little trick to please my wife, there's no need to learn it."

Shang Youqing pulled her hand out from between his fingers and lifted his chin, "You're quite proud?"

Without waiting for He Cong to speak, Shang Youqing slowly increased the strength of his hand, "Just now in the bathroom, when I wasn't paying attention, who did you secretly send a message to?"

Shang Youqing didn't even think of checking his phone, she just wanted him to tell her.

He Cong, caught by her gaze, quickly confessed, "I've sent the relevant evidence to Uncle Yu. I told you, no matter who it is, I will never forgive them if they touch my wife."

As he spoke, a hint of cruelty flashed through his eyes.

The next second, Shang Youqing pinched his mouth. "Don't be so mean again!"

He Cong's thin lips were deformed by the pinch, but he continued to lick his wife's pretty face with his fixed gaze.

"..."

Realizing that such a reprimand was a reward for He Cong, Shang Youqing snorted and pushed him away.

"It's a warning to He Qizhou, but remember this, He Cong. I taught you how to use a gun so you can protect yourself. If you do it again, I will never forgive you."

He Cong propped himself up on the bed, watching Shang Youqing's slender, white fingers gently gather the collar of his nightgown, which had just been messed up by his palms, and then he got out of bed. His mind was filled with thoughts.

His wife was so kind.

Even when she was angry, she just said she would never forgive him.

Not that she didn't want him or give up on him.

He Cong, consumed by a deep desire for gratification, leaned forward like a large beast, nuzzling into Shang Youqing's slender back, his face nuzzling the back of his wife's fragrant neck. He obediently agreed, "I understand, honey."

Shortly after that day, news of the kidnapping of He Cong's attending physician, Fu Ying, quickly reached Old Man He. Coupled with the evidence presented to him, Old Man He was furious.

That same day, he convened a family dinner to reprimand those with ulterior motives. While he didn't name names, the dinner resulted in Old Man He spurning all the project proposals of several individuals on the verge of advancement in Bindao's political and business circles. This act of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys was a warning.

Because of this incident, the more volatile members of the He family had finally settled down for a while.

Meanwhile, He Cong had also helped Old Man He expand the resources and influence of his overseas branch.

Grandpa He has grown increasingly fond of his returning grandson, and has been bringing He Cong with him on recent outings. While helping his grandfather with the He family's business affairs, He Cong has also been diligently cultivating connections, laying the foundation for his own future ventures.

The only problem is that Shang Youqing has rarely been with He Cong during his time away from home. He Cong has suggested several times, but Shang Youqing has ruthlessly refused.

Of course, it's not that Shang Youqing doesn't want to be with him; she simply has more important things to do.

Shang Youqing has been quietly investigating and uncovering potential threats hidden within the He family who could pose a threat to He Cong's future.

She's taking advantage of He Cong's absence to personally address any issues that shouldn't be made public, nor should He Cong be involved.

However, Shang Youqing did encounter a minor mishap while He Cong was away, as he was flying to North America to sign a contract.

She had been losing feathers frequently these past few days, and her body temperature was slightly higher than usual. Although this level of heat wasn't a big deal for a phoenix, Shang Youqing stayed in He Cong's bedroom to avoid burning anyone who came in contact.

She had planned to get a good night's sleep to recuperate and make plans after He Cong returned, but she was woken by a phone call less than half a day.

The housekeeper at the He family's old house called and said that Madam He, He Cong's grandmother, wanted her over.

Shang Youqing had no choice but to wrap herself in a sweater and put on heat-insulating gloves before getting in the car sent by the He family's old house.

When she arrived at the old house, Shang Youqing discovered that Madam He was sitting next to Fang Xinyuan, the wife He Qizhou had married shortly after He Cong's mother passed away.

Shang Youqing politely greeted the two and was then pulled by Madam He to sit down for tea and snacks.

Old Madam He knew that the reason her eldest grandson was able to recover and return to the He family was all thanks to Shang Youqing's careful care and treatment. In addition, Shang Youqing was really beautiful and likable, so Old Madam He looked at Shang Youqing with even more affection.

She took Shang Youqing's hand, smiled and said kindly: "Xinyuan and I were originally saying that it was time for Acong to get married. We thought that when he came back from abroad this time, we would arrange for him to meet a daughter of a wealthy family who would get along well with him. As we were chatting, we thought of Fuying. Speaking of which, Fuying, you are the one who knows Acong best now. Why don't you help me see which daughter Acong would like?"

As soon as Old Madam He finished speaking, Fang Xinyuan had already brought some prepared information and photos to the table.

After just a rough glance, Shang Youqing came to the conclusion from these files that it seemed that He Qizhou wanted to better control He Cong by having him marry the young daughter of the Ji family -

because among so many files, only the file of the Ji family's daughter was obviously carefully designed, and every aspect was deliberately tailored to He Cong's preferences.

Shang Youqing retracted his gaze and replied to Madam He gently, "Madam, Young Master He has never told me about this. Therefore, I don't know which daughter of aristocratic family Young Master He will like."

Fang Xinyuan couldn't help but smile after hearing this, "Doctor Fu is very modest. Who knows Acong better than Doctor Fu? How about this? When Acong finishes his work and returns home, Doctor Fu will tell Acong about this. It's better for you to ask Acong... than for me, a stepmother, to ask."

Shang Youqing politely declined, "I'm really sorry. I'm afraid this is not within my responsibility."

Madam He had no intention of forcing Shang Youqing. Seeing that she was really unhappy, she patted her hand and comforted her, "Hey, it's okay, it's Xinyuan and I who were abrupt. If Fuying doesn't want to, then forget it. There's no rush. Let's talk about it after Acong comes back."

"Thank you, Madam He, for your understanding."

Shang Youqing endured the discomfort in her body and sat with Madam He for a while before leaving the old house.

However, she did not just go back. She obtained the contact information of Ji Huaizhuo, the eldest son of the Ji family who was already able to take charge of the Ji family, from relevant personnel and proposed the idea of meeting.

Her original intention was just to talk to Ji Huaizhuo, to find out the relationship between the Ji family and He Qizhou, and to help He Cong reject the "marriage" that was about to be put on the table, so as to prevent He Cong from making trouble with her when he came back and knew about it.

After Ji Huaizhuo learned of her identity, he quickly agreed to meet her and made an appointment to dine at "Tan Palace" that night.

Shang Youqing consciously felt that her body temperature was becoming more and more abnormal, but because He Cong's matter was also very important, she could only suppress it for the time being and endure it, and went to Tan Palace to keep the appointment.
