But the recent happenings in the past few days had shaken her up. Every night, Jing Yichen would go out to deal with matters in person and when Lu could not be reached, he went to find her.
Shangguan Ning was very scared that Jing Yichen would again fall into Tang Shunian’s trap and had been very worried.
She did not feel assured until she learnt about Tang Shunian’s death.
She did not want to leave Jing Yichen, and hoped that she could be in his arms all the time and that he would not go anywhere.
Jing Yichen knew that Shangguan Ning had always been very understanding and never disurbed him when he was at work.
But today she broke this habit, and came to him when he was dealing with work. Obviously, she had been emotionally affected.
Jing Yichen got concerned, and held her even tighter.
Finishing Tang Shunian made him feel much more relaxed. That man had always been a thorn in his heart, especially when he had his eyes on his woman. He had been very good at hiding himself and killing him was not easy.
Lu played a very important role and he would ask her what she needed in return, when he got time.
He might not express the willingness to give an award in front of Jing Yiran, but he was definitely going to reward her for accomplishing such a difficult task.
When his biggest threat in the form of Tang Shunian was gone and his wife was lying in his arms, Jing Yichen could finally relax.
He would not have been sitting in the study if he didn’t need to wrap up the remaining affairs. He would have laid upon the large bed with her in his arms.
Luckily, his men were capable enough to deal with different things by themselves so he did not need to do everything in person. After he gave his men some orders, he was almost finished with the work for today.
Wrapping up the last call, he picked up his quiet wife and walked into the bedroom.
On the bed, Jing Yichen caressed her back softly as he said, “Don’t be scared, Ning. I am always going to be by your side.”
Shangguan Ning wiggled a little and found a cozy position in his arms. With her arms around his waist, she finally fell asleep.
The following morning, Jing Yichen found that Shangguan Ning was still clinging to him and was refusing to let go.
A smile hovered over his face. Great, his woman would not leave him alone now.
“Little lazy girl, still not getting up? The sun is shining brightly!”
Jing Yichen spanked Shangguan Ning’s bouncy bottom and kissed her smooth forehead.
His woman had become increasingly beautiful. She had no makeup on yet her skin looked flawless against the morning sunlight. He simply could not have enough of her.
Because of the late hours on the previous night, Shangguan Ning was feeling very sleepy. She opened her eyes drowsily and asked in a lazy tone. “What time is it now? I am so sleepy…”
Seeing her lovely look, Jing Yichen said with a gentle voice, “It is okay, just sleep till whenever you want.”
It was past nine in the morning, and was quite late for Shangguan Ning who often got up quite early. Jing Yichen did not want her to get up now, when he saw her feeling drowsy.
But even if Jing Yichen was not willing to, someone else woke her up.
Jing Rui’s whining arose from the nursery. It seemed that he had gotten hungry!
Jing Yichen shook his head with a smile.
Hearing Jing Rui’s cry, Shangguan Ning woke up suddenly. Instead of holding Jing Yichen, she got out of the blanket and ran to the nursery without even putting her shoes on. She kept saying, “Ruirui, I am here, Ruirui, let’s eat…”
A minute ago, Jing Yichen had thought that he held an irreplaceable place in his wife’s heart but her son replaced him so easily. As soon as Shangguan Ning heard Jing Rui’s cries, she would instantly forget him.
Feeling helpless, Jing Yichen picked up Shangguan Ning’s slippers and followed her into the nursery.
The nanny saw the whole family come inside, so she went to the kitchen, to help Sister Lan and Sister Fang in making breakfast. Both Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen were in the baby’s room, and she thought that she should not be there.
Jing Rui stopped fussing after being fed. He looked at Shangguan Ning and smiled at her. He must be feeling really pleased.
Seeing her son happy, Shangguan Ning patted Jing Rui softly and praised him. “Ruirui is a nice little boy. You will definitely become an excellent kid in the future!”
Jing Yichen bent down and put the slippers on for Shangguan Ning, carefully. “Didn’t I tell you not to get anxious. Put on your shoes, the floor is cold.”
Shangguan Ning smiled at him and said smugly, “Well, you are here, aren’t you?”
Jing Yichen was amused by her tone. “So I am your nanny who puts on the shoes for you?”
Shangguan Ning raised her eyebrows. “Are you not willing to do it?”
“Of course I am!” Jing Yichen expressed his faith quickly and said, “I am at your service, my lady. I can put on the shoes for you or even become your shoes!”
Shangguan Ning laughed happily. It was always good to have him around.
The world was full of brightness!
Jing Yichen left for work after breakfast. There were still a few things remaining to deal with regarding Tang Shunian. Jing Yichen would take over all the properties and forces that used to belong to him. He needed to gain back the 100 billion yuan which Shangguan Ning lost to him.
It was not a small amount. Tang Shunian died before he could find time to spend it. It was not going to be very difficult to get back the money, although there was some different type of trouble.
Tang Shunian had built numerous underground places in B City, and all of them belonged to Jing Yichen now.
These underground worlds tended to have many cellars, suitable for hidden underground moves.
After Tang Shunian was finished, Jing Yichen left the rest of the work to Knife Lee, who was able to get those mafias to become his followers, considering that he used to be one of the gangsters earlier.
