After showering, Chen Cheng held the fast-asleep Qin Shi and glanced at the somewhat messy bed.

After a moment's thought, he set her down and called the front desk to request another duvet, deciding to just make do with the original one as a mattress pad for the night.

Scum Cheng checked his watch; it was exactly midnight. Just as he was getting ready to sleep, his phone vibrated.

Chen Cheng picked it up and saw it was Andy.

"Chen Cheng, my brother has been found. Can you accompany me to Daishan tomorrow?" Andy's voice trembled.

Chen Cheng frowned. Old Tan had timed this perfectly, hitting the exact moment when Andy's emotions were gradually settling.

Given Chen Cheng's tip and Tan Zongming's connections, the fact that it had taken this long meant he must have been waiting for Andy's emotions to stabilize so she would be sufficiently prepared.

"Alright, I'll go with you tomorrow. Are you doing okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine," Andy said, forcing herself to sound calm.

...

Chen Cheng comforted Andy for a while, hung up, and then sent a message to Eleven, telling her to be ready to head back early tomorrow morning.

Early morning.

After the madness of last night, waking up, she felt a bit embarrassed to face him.

Qin Shi, blushing, gripped the corner of the duvet, revealing only her eyes as she studied the man sleeping beside her.

He had smooth features, sharp brows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and an air of heroic spirit.

She had thought he was handsome when she first stole his photos online, but seeing him up close, he was even more so.

And he was so amazing, with all that... shameful knowledge, he was just terrible.

Just then, Chen Cheng's eyelids twitched, and Qin Shi was startled, instantly shrinking back under the duvet.

Scum Cheng opened his eyes, checked the time, and then looked at Qin Shi, who was buried under the duvet.

A smile curled his lips, and he reached his hand back under the duvet.

Qin Shi didn't dare move, letting him...

It felt so good; Scum Cheng was almost obsessed.

After playing for a while, Scum Cheng also tucked his head under the covers.

...

"Where is my husband?"

At 11:00 AM, Qin Shi, who had only just emerged from the hotel after another nap, asked Eleven in the driver's seat.

At this moment, her skin was fair with a rosy flush, and there was a trace of allure in her eyes, making her even more captivating.

Eleven gave a stiff, insincere smile. "The boss had an urgent matter and returned to Shanghai first. He asked me to take Miss Qin back."

They were supposed to drive back normally, but unfortunately, after spending too much time playing with the little enchantress, Scum Cheng had to arrange a helicopter.

Qin Shi's expression stiffened slightly. She handed her suitcase to Eleven and got into the car.

Chen Cheng returned to Ode to Joy and went home first to change his clothes; he was sure to see Guan Juer soon and was afraid she might smell the scent on him.

Without lingering, he changed his clothes and headed to the building next door.

"Ding dong~ Ding dong~"

"Coming~" Guan Juer ran to open the door with an anxious expression.

"Brother Cheng," seeing it was Chen Cheng, she immediately threw herself into his arms.

"What's wrong?" Chen Cheng lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Guan Juer looked anxious. "Sister Fan has been arrested."

Hm?

Chen Cheng frowned and pulled Guan Juer into 2202. "Don't rush, tell me slowly."

Seeing Chen Cheng gave Guan Juer a sense of reassurance. "It's all that scumbag Supervisor Bai's fault. He bullied Yingying, and when Sister Fan found out, she went to find him."

"But he wasn't there, so Sister Fan got angry and trashed his room."

"When Supervisor Bai returned, he called the police and falsely accused Sister Fan of smashing his computer."

"And then, Sister Fan was arrested."

Hearing this, Chen Cheng actually laughed. Fan Shengmei was quite loyal; it didn't seem like her at all.

Perhaps she only lacked principles when it came to money; she was actually quite reliable otherwise?

He flicked Guan Juer's cute nose and looked at her with a chuckle, "Why don't I see Qiu Yingying?"

"Yingying is in the bathroom," Guan Juer pointed towards the bathroom.

"She's very anxious, and whenever she's anxious, she keeps running to the bathroom."

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched. This Qiu Yingying's timidness was on par with He Minhong's.

After thinking about it, he pulled Guan Juer along to knock on Qu Xiaoxiao's door.

"Chen the bast..." Qu Xiaoxiao, bleary-eyed, looked at Chen Cheng at the door and almost blurted out her inner thoughts.

Chen Cheng looked at her playfully. "Bastard what?"

"Chairman... Chairman Chen, is there something wrong?" Qu Xiaoxiao looked embarrassed.

"Fan Shengmei stood up for Qiu Yingying and has been taken by the police to assist with an investigation. Find a lawyer to go and handle it."

"Andy has other matters to attend to, and I can't get away."

Chen Cheng looked at her with a faint smile. "Can you handle it?"

Qu Xiaoxiao forced a smile and immediately promised, "Yes, I'll make the call right away."

Chen Cheng smiled, waved his hand, and signaled her to get to it.

Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Cheng, then at the dazed Guan Juer, and turned around huffily to go inside and get her phone to make the call.

Chen Cheng turned back and took Guan Juer's hands. "Alright, don't be so nervous. It's not a big deal; your Sister Fan is just going to assist with the investigation."

"You stick with Qu Xiaoxiao. Andy has other things to do, and I need to go to Daishan with her."

"Daishan? Did something happen?"

"Nothing much, just handling some business matters."

Chen Cheng did not intend to tell Guan Juer about Andy's affairs. After all, it was Andy's private matter; no matter how intimate they were, it wasn't his place. If it were to be told, Andy should be the one to say it.

Scum Cheng dotingly ruffled Guan Juer's hair. "Alright, go tell Qiu Yingying the situation so she won't be so nervous."

"No matter what Fan Shengmei smashed of that Supervisor Bai's, I guarantee you she won't have any trouble."

"Mm!" Guan Juer, wearing her glasses, nodded adorably.

Watching Guan Juer enter, Chen Cheng then went to ring Andy's doorbell.

"Let's go," Chen Cheng didn't start comforting her, acting very relaxed instead.

Seeing him, Andy immediately felt a sense of relief; she forced a smile and nodded. "Okay."

After saying goodbye to Guan Juer, Chen Cheng and Andy went downstairs.

"I'll drive," Andy called out to stop him just as Chen Cheng was about to get into the driver's seat.

Chen Cheng frowned. "Are you sure you can?"

Andy nodded. "Yes, I want to find something to do, otherwise I'll just keep thinking about it."

Seeing that she was in decent condition, Chen Cheng shrugged and walked around to the passenger seat.

They drove Chen Cheng's car, that S680.

Along the way, Chen Cheng didn't take the initiative to comfort her, and classical music played continuously from the speakers.

Listening to the music, Andy remembered something and asked, "I heard you're learning the piano?"

Chen Cheng frowned slightly. Not many people knew he was learning the piano; it must have been Guan Juer who told her. He nodded. "Yes, it's to make up for my shortcomings in music."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Actually, I released a song."

"Released a song?" Andy frowned, puzzled.

Chen Cheng smiled without speaking, operated the central music console, found his song, and pressed play.

"Dili li dada..."

After listening for a while, Andy's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Chen Cheng, suppressing a smile.

"There lives a prodigal in your heart."

Chen Cheng shrugged and chuckled softly. "Maybe I am a prodigal by nature."
