After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 229 Don't Touch Her

Another day passed, and I reluctantly opened my eyes.

Zhao Ning went out early in the morning and bought a lot of daily necessities that I would need.

"I bought you slippers featuring your favorite anime character. Do you like them?" Zhao Ning excitedly held up the pink slippers to show me.

I answered absentmindedly, looking at the increasingly lively room. It seemed Zhao Ning intended to live here with me. Considering what he said last night, it made sense.

"Momo, what do you think of this dress? Why don't you try it on?"

I glanced at the clothes he took out; it was a white knitted dress with a fitted waist.

Zhao Ning bought me a lot of cosmetics. Although I wasn't really interested, I still mustered my energy, changed into the dress he gave me, and put on a delicate makeup.

Covering my pale face from the past few days, and wearing a stretchy knitted dress, you wouldn't be able to tell I'm pregnant unless you look closely.

I went downstairs dressed, and Zhao Ning turned around when he heard the noise. His eyes lit up.

He walked up to me, put his arm around my waist, and nuzzled my chin, saying, "Momo, you're so beautiful. I'm the only one who's ever seen you dressed like this. It's wonderful."

Last night's reflections have given me a clear understanding of Zhao Ning's personality. As long as I go along with his wishes, he can fulfill all my reasonable requests.

I wrapped my arms around his waist and let him carry me down the steps.

Anyone who didn't know better would really think we were a sweet young couple living in seclusion in the mountains.

"Ah Ning, let's go shopping in town today."

"What did you call me?" Zhao Ning's eyes were filled with excitement.

I called out again.

He was so happy that he forgot everything else.

"I want to go to town to buy some food and cook for you. We've known each other for so long, but you probably haven't tasted my cooking yet."

I smiled sweetly, but what I was thinking was, if I can't escape in town this time, I'll use my inhuman cooking skills to poison him when I get back!

"You're not thinking of running away, are you?" Zhao Ning asked warily.

"Where can I go as a pregnant woman? Besides, I've never gone to such lengths to dress up for anyone else. I'd be bored to death if I just stayed at home."

"Alright then." Zhao Ning was still a little skeptical. "We'll just go to the supermarket, buy what we need, and come right back."

I nodded excitedly.

After getting in the car, we drove through a series of twists and turns.

This place is a remote and impoverished area. I really don't know how Zhao Ning found such a place to settle down. It seems he really wants to drag me into a secluded life.

I originally wanted to write down the route so I could escape more easily.

But now it seems that this method is completely ineffective on this terrain.

When we arrived at the supermarket, Zhao Ning followed behind me, wary of anyone who made eye contact with me.

To lower his guard, I didn't contact anyone and carefully selected items.

I would ask for his opinion from time to time.

Zhao Ning's expression relaxed.

"Let's buy this one; it looks like it's of better quality. I want you and the baby to eat something nutritious. Don't worry about the money; I've earned quite a bit working with you at the company during this time."

I nodded sweetly, but inside I really wanted to drag out my past self from months ago and give her a good scolding.

What does it mean to raise a tiger to your own detriment? I am a living example of it!

To buy time, I bought a lot of useless things.

When it was time to pay, there were two large truckloads of bills.

"Don't touch Momo. You're pregnant, I'll carry her," Zhao Ning said considerately.

"Okay." I nodded.

"What a lovely young couple!" the cashier said with a smile.

These words applied perfectly to Zhao Ning, and a genuine smile spread across his face.

Putting everything else aside, I agree that Zhao Ning is good-looking, especially when she smiles; she looks harmless.

Who would have thought he was such a dark person?

What I didn't know was that we had just left the supermarket.

Shortly after, the police located this place by investigating Zhao Ning's spending records.

Jiang Yichen had just finished dealing with the group's affairs and had only rested for two hours when he received a call from the police.

After getting the address, they drove there immediately.

The police had just arrived and were preparing to review the surveillance footage.

Upon seeing the male protagonist approach, the bureau chief immediately came to greet him.

"President Jiang, as soon as we received the news, we dispatched all our police forces. Don't worry, we will definitely be able to help you find Miss Gu."

The bureau chief patted his chest, taking credit for his achievement.

Jiang Yichen ignored his solicitousness and barged in on his own, taking out Gu Mo's photo and asking all the employees about it.

Such a scene was rare in the small town, and everyone shook their heads in fear.

The last cashier glanced at the photo and immediately recognized it as the loving couple from earlier that day.

"I've seen this woman before."

As soon as she spoke, everyone looked at her. The cashier's face turned bright red. "She bought a bunch of things with a man today. Oh right! The woman is pregnant! And they seemed to be getting along really well."

As soon as the last word was uttered, a layer of cold air suddenly enveloped the entire supermarket, making everyone shiver.

"Does the girl look injured?" Jiang Yichen asked patiently.

The bureau chief kept giving the cashier meaningful glances, but the cashier didn't understand at all.

She even thought Jiang Yichen was the head of the police station, and she had absolutely no ability to lie to the police.

"The woman was dressed so beautifully, she was very pretty, and the man had a very nice smile too. They bought two carloads of stuff, it looked like they were moving into a new house."

Jiang Yichen kicked over the trash can next to him, turned around, took a deep breath, and said, word by word, "Go check the surveillance footage."

Upon entering the monitoring room, the security guard was startled to see so many people, including police officers, and hurriedly opened the surveillance footage.

When his beloved, whom he hadn't seen for several days, appeared before him, the atmosphere around Jiang Yichen calmed down for once.

The bureau chief breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel his clothes being tugged.

He turned around, and the young security guard whispered to him, "Brother, what did this handsome man and beautiful woman in the surveillance footage do? They look so loving, like a young couple. They shouldn't be involved in any big cases, right? Why are there so many police officers here? Is it a misunderstanding?"

This time, Jiang Yichen didn't even need to get involved; he just wanted to tear that stinky security guard's mouth off.

Jiang Yichen walked out of the monitoring room without saying a word.

The air in the supermarket made him feel suffocated, and the burning anger in his chest was about to engulf all his reason.

"General Manager Jiang..." the bureau chief said respectfully, sweating profusely.

Jiang Yichen had completely erased his previous imposing demeanor and now only hoped that he could leave with a complete corpse today.

"Director Zhang, what did you just promise me?"

"This..." The bureau chief was too frightened to utter a word.

Jiang Yichen took out his phone and dialed Lin Nan's number: "I'll send you the location. Tomorrow morning, buy them all for me!"

When Lin Nan was hung up on, she was confused. Why would someone want to acquire a supermarket?
