CHAPTER 298: CHAPTER 287: BOTH MOTHERS OF TWO CHILDREN 2

Jin Jumo took it, "Thank you."

Mu Qinnian sat beside her, casually resting an arm on the back of the sofa behind her, his cold eyes silently watching her from the side.

The faint scent of mint from him wafted over, like someone’s tranquilizer.

Jin Jumo, feeling a bit anxious on the way here, slowly calmed down at this moment, holding the water cup, turning to look at Mu Qinnian.

Mu Qinnian’s usually cold-cornered lips slightly curved up into a smile, his deep cold eyes softened, "Go ahead, what is it?"

Jin Jumo lightly bit her lower lip, "Nothing escapes Brother’s keen eyes."

Mu Qinnian chuckled, taking that as a compliment.

Jin Jumo’s eyes wandered slightly, slowly sipping water, dropping her eyelashes on purpose to avoid his gaze, "Brother, can you tell me what you plan to do with Liang Yi?"

Mu Qinnian narrowed his eyes, "You came looking for me just for her?"

Jin Jumo lowered her head, not denying.

Mu Qinnian’s stern face quickly turned grim, deeply furrowing his eyebrows at Jin Jumo, "Little Mo, why do you still care about a woman like her?"

"...I don’t want to involve myself with her. I just don’t want any more ties with her." Jin Jumo looked up at Mu Qinnian, "Brother, let’s let her go, okay?"

Mu Qinnian pursed his lips tightly, deeply gazing at Jin Jumo for a moment.

Finally, he sighed softly, reaching out to affectionately stroke her head, "Silly girl. She knows you can’t bring yourself to do anything to her, so she dares to repeatedly harm you."

Jin Jumo’s eyes warmed, "Brother, do you think I’m really hopeless?"

Mu Qinnian furrowed his brow.

Jin Jumo looked at him, "She did that to me, yet I can’t bring myself to truly hate her or ignore her. I’m still afraid she’ll die or get hurt, I..."

"Little Mo."

Mu Qinnian stopped her from continuing, sitting slightly upright, opening his arms to the teary-eyed young woman, "Come here."

Jin Jumo almost couldn’t hold back her tears.

Mu Qinnian saw the glistening tears in her eyes, silently sighed, and drew her gently into his arms, patting her back with his broad palm, as if consoling a child, "Already a mother of two, yet still crying, aren’t you embarrassed?"

Jin Jumo’s ears turned slightly red, muttering against his chest, "I didn’t cry."

"Pretending!" Mu Qinnian laughed teasingly.

Jin Jumo pushed him away, proving otherwise with her dry eyes looking at him, "I didn’t cry!"

Mu Qinnian couldn’t help but laugh, reaching out to affectionately ruffle her hair, "Alright, you didn’t cry."

With his words, Jin Jumo felt even more embarrassed.

Actually, she wasn’t the type to act spoiled and coquettish, but somehow, in front of Mu Qinnian, she unconsciously behaved like this.

"Little Mo, I understand what you’re saying."

Mu Qinnian suddenly became serious, "This time, I can let her go, but if she ever dares to do anything bad to you again, I will not let her go so easily!"

Mu Qinnian considers himself a person who avenges every grievance, and regarding Liang Yi, he can no longer be merciful.

If Liang Yi wasn’t Jin Jumo’s biological mother, Mu Qinnian probably wouldn’t even know how many times he would’ve taken care of her.

Jin Jumo looked at him emotionally, "Thank you, Brother."

Mu Qinnian raised an eyebrow.

Hao Hao’s fourth birthday was approaching, and Jin Jumo intended to take Xixi and Hanhan to S City to celebrate Hao Hao’s birthday, but worried about how to tell Rong Mochen.

On this day, Rong Mochen didn’t go to the company, just handling business in the study room.

Jin Jumo brought a freshly brewed black coffee inside.

Someone raised their dark eyes from the laptop screen to glance at her, one eyebrow lightly raised.

Jin Jumo smiled cleverly, "I made you some coffee."

Rong Mochen gestured for her to come over.

Jin Jumo quickly brought the coffee over, carefully placing it by his right hand, "Just brewed, it’s a bit hot, let it cool before drinking."

Rong Mochen wrapped his arm around her waist, letting her sit on his lap, leisurely gazing at her, "Being so good today?"

"Haven’t I always been good to you?" Jin Jumo deliberately pouted.

"You have." Rong Mochen shook his head, pinching her soft earlobe.

Jin Jumo’s lips curved, her hands actively wrapped around his neck, her Taohua eyes gently glimmering.

Rong Mochen pretended not to notice her ulterior motives, his large hand wandering over her soft, boneless waist.

If it were a normal day, Jin Jumo would’ve resisted long ago, but today, she showed no sign of opposing him.

Rong Mochen’s dark eyes deepened slightly, his left arm firmly encircling her, while his right hand elegantly sipped the black coffee from the table.

As the coffee came close to finishing, the little woman finally couldn’t hold back, tentatively speaking, "Rong Mochen, I have something to discuss with you."

Rong Mochen leisurely placed the coffee cup on the table, his dark eyes lightly glancing at her, "Let’s hear it."

"...I want to take Xixi and Hanhan out to play." Jin Jumo deliberated.

Rong Mochen nodded, "Sure. Where do you want to go? I’ll take you."

Uh...

Jin Jumo licked her lips and whispered, "No need, no need for you to take us. You’re so busy with work. I’ll take Xixi and Hanhan myself."

"Am I really that busy lately?" Rong Mochen subtly curled his lips, his dark eyes even carrying a hint of doubt cooperatively.

"...Not busy?" Jin Jumo muttered awkwardly.

"Hmm, not busy." Rong Mochen said.

Jin Jumo awkwardly tucked her hair behind her ear.

Rong Mochen stared at her as she nervously lowered her long lashes and squinted his dark eyes slightly, "However, in a few days, the long-term investors cooperating with the Rong Family from France are coming to Z City. I must attend to my duties as their host. If you want to take Xixi and Hanhan out during these days, I might not be able to accompany you."

Jin Jumo’s peach blossom eyes, hidden under her long lashes, suddenly lit up. She looked up at him, "It’s okay, work is important. I’ll take Xixi and Hanhan out myself."

The depth in Rong Mochen’s dark eyes deepened, "I’ll have Gu Yan accompany you."

"That’s not necessary." Jin Jumo’s eyes flickered, "We shouldn’t always trouble Gu Yan."

"But I’m not comfortable with you taking Xixi and Hanhan out alone." Rong Mochen frowned.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be extra careful." Jin Jumo promised him, looking at him with a face full of anxiety, as if worried he’d refuse to let her go.

Rong Mochen stared at Jin Jumo for a while, his moist thin lips curved slightly, "Okay."

Jin Jumo’s delighted expression was evident, as she proactively kissed his lightly curled lips a few times, then got off his lap and walked out of the study with noticeably lighter steps.

Rong Mochen’s gently lifted mouth corner only slowly fell once Jin Jumo walked out of the study.

That afternoon, Jin Jumo decisively took a few days off when she picked up Xixi and Hanhan.

In the evening, she booked a ticket for an early flight to S City the next morning.

The next day, it was a driver who took Jin Jumo and Xixi Hanhan to the airport.

Sitting on the plane, Jin Jumo suddenly felt uneasy, feeling like something was off!

Wasn’t it a bit too smooth for her to take Xixi and Hanhan out this time?

Moreover, from the moment she decided to take Xixi and Hanhan out, up until today’s departure, a certain person seemed not to have asked where she was going, nor when she would return. He had even left early in the morning, only arranging for a driver to take them to the airport...

Jin Jumo furrowed her brows, the more she thought about it, the more uncertain she felt!

Jin Jumo brought Xixi and Hanhan to S City without notifying Jian Liangtong in advance, intending to give her a surprise.

The plane landed at S City’s airport. Jin Jumo led the two little ones out of the airport and took a taxi directly to Yu Yang Apartment.

Forty minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of the Yu Yang Apartment Building.

Jin Jumo paid the fare, got out of the car with the two little ones, and walked towards the apartment building.

In front of Apartment 502, Jin Jumo glanced at the nervously inhaling Xixi, a smile curling at her eyebrows, as she bent down and retrieved the spare key from under the doormat to unlock the door.

"Ah..."

Jin Jumo had just opened the door, with one foot not yet stepped inside, when a scream burst from inside, scaring the one big and two small people standing at the door.

"Ah, Jin Jumo, are you asking for death!"

Following the startled shout, a slender figure suddenly shot forward from inside.

Jin Jumo twitched the corner of her eye and hurriedly pulled the two little ones back a step.

Jin Jumo didn’t hide the disdain in her eyes. Before Jian Liangtong could rush out, she quickly reached out to hold her shoulder, "Girl, there are still kids here, watch your image."

"You nearly scared me to death!" Jian Liangtong, still scared, looked at Jin Jumo, "I just came out of the bedroom, and suddenly the door opened by itself. I thought I’d seen a ghost!"

Jin Jumo, "Uh..."

"Aunt Jian." Xixi called Jian Liangtong, stepped forward, squatted with her chubby little body, and carefully pulled down Jian Liangtong’s raised pant legs with her small fleshy hands.

Jian Liangtong blushed, looked at Xixi speechlessly.

Xixi raised her little face to look at Jian Liangtong, "I was worried you’d get cold, so I helped you pull your pants down."

Jian Liangtong, both touched and ashamed, bent down to hug Xixi, "Still my Xixi who cares about aunt."

After a pause, Jian Liangtong seriously looked at Xixi and said, "But Xixi, you’ve grown heavier."

In an instant, Xixi’s expression changed, turning to throw herself into Jin Jumo’s arms, "Aunt Jian is so mean."

Jin Jumo held back her laughter, taking Xixi in her arms.

Jian Liangtong awkwardly touched her nose, then cheerily extended her hands towards Hanhan, "Hanhan, come let Aunt Jian hug."

Hanhan seriously glanced at Jian Liangtong, "Three-year-olds want to be hugged all the time, but I’m no longer a three-year-old child."
