As Long As You Want To

Shen Jingmo was still hesitating when Yu Yang suddenly called him over. Placed in the middle of the banquet hall was a gray stone the size of a watermelon. The top of the stone had been opened. It revealed the dazzling peach-red gem. Even Second Old Master Chen, who had seen countless rare treasures, could not help but praise it, "It's so beautiful! It's too breathtaking!"

The delicate peach-colored gem reflected a gorgeous color under the light. Everyone present subconsciously drew a cold breath. They were impressed by the work of nature. 

Third Master Chen was happily drinking his white wine when he turned around and inadvertently saw the tall man with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face. He suddenly had the desire to gossip. "President Shen has good taste. Such a good tourmaline, are you planning to give it to him?"

While the guests were enjoying themselves, a mobile phone suddenly rang. 

Shen Jingmo picked it up and looked at the caller ID. He raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded at the host. "Excuse me for a moment." 

Second Elder Chen nodded, but he could not help but ask curiously, "Is it Mrs. Shen?" 

The man's expression was normal. "Yes." 

Although Shen Jingmo still had no expression on his face, the people around him could already see that Young President Shen was in a good mood. 

As Shen Jingmo walked out, Second Old Master Chen smiled and clinked glasses with Yu Yang. 

"I didn't know that President Shen had this side to him. I thought he was the kind of person who didn't care about anyone and didn't like to socialize." 

Yu Yang raised his eyes and mumbled, "He treasures that person a lot!"

In the month that the two of them had been quarreling, he had been kicked several times by Shen Jingmo for no reason. When had Young Master Shen ever been so cautious? 

The little girl was cold to him, and he didn't even dare to approach her carefully, for fear that the little girl would be even angrier when she saw him. After waiting for such a long time, he finally received a call from that person. He probably did not want to stay any longer and had already flown back to Yan City.

At Luming Jiaan.

Mu Qingyu still didn't know that Yu Yang had given her the 'Expert Dog Trainer' title. She was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window while holding her phone and scratching. 

After she finished drawing her manga, the phone that had not been picked up during the day suddenly rang again. She thought of trying to contact him again before she went to bed. This time, the answer she received was no longer the cold male voice.

Mu Qingyu unconsciously breathed along with the frequency of the ringtone. After about ten breaths, the other end finally picked up. 

"Mu Qingyu." 

The man's low voice came from the other end of the phone, and no emotion could be heard. 

Mu Qingyu pouted and turned on the phone's speaker. She sat on the carpet and replied, "It's me."

"Is there something you need?" 

"Can't I still find you if I have nothing to do?" The hazy night sky gave the little girl courage, and her tone was mixed with a faint complaint. It made Shen Jingmo's heart melt. 

"I didn't say you can't." The man's tone was unprecedentedly gentle. "As long as you want to, you can contact me anytime."

Mu Qingyu's fingers were stroking the carpet. From the tone of that person, it seemed like he had already calmed down. Then, she wouldn't annoy him even if she said a few more words, right? 

"Did you see the message Mom sent you? Mom wants us to participate in that romance show. Do you want to go?" Mu Qingyu asked.

Shen Jingmo nodded on the other end of the phone and laughed at his stupidity. The other party couldn't see his actions through the phone. He again said, "Mmm." 

Shen Jingmo could tell that there was a hidden meaning in her words. He then remarked, "I'll return next week." 

When she first came to Yan City, Mu Qingyu still referred to Madam Wu as 'Aunt'. Now, she had changed to 'Mom'. Did this mean that she had already gotten used to being married to him? Was she slowly getting used to living with him?

"I know." 

"Alright." The other end of the phone replied crisply, with the softness that only belonged to Jiangnan—instantly sweeping away the accumulated frustration in the man's heart. 

"Then, I'll wait for you at home. It's getting late, so you should rest early too. Good night." 

"Alright, you should sleep early too." As soon as the call ended, Shen Jingmo turned around and saw Yu Yang with his sneaky expression again.
