CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 39: RONG MOCHEN: LITTLE MO, COME HERE! (4)

Fu Mulan faced Jin Jumo with only one expression, and that was no expression at all, "Miss Jin, you’re too kind."

Jin Jumo smiled and walked into the dining room.

Her gaze swept over the various fish dishes on the table, and her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly as she sat down with a calm demeanor.

Fu Mulan stood where she stood yesterday, staring coldly at Jin Jumo.

Jin Jumo’s stomach was churning like boiling hot water, claws seemed to be scratching her throat, and she felt an intense urge to vomit.

But she had to keep a nonchalant face.

"Miss Jin, have some soup." Fu Mulan placed a bowl of thick soup beside Jin Jumo’s hand.

Looking at the glistening oil floating on the soup surface, Jin Jumo almost couldn’t hold back from vomiting.

Taking a slight breath, Jin Jumo smiled at Fu Mulan, "Miss Fu, as Mr. Rong’s assistant, you’re here to take care of me, it’s quite a waste of your talents."

Even though she only met Fu Mulan yesterday.

But her intelligence, alertness, suspicion, and even sharpness allowed Jin Jumo to see deeply within a short period.

Yesterday, she simply slept a bit longer, and this Assistant Fu suspected her of being pregnant, using a whole table of fish to test her.

Last night, she asked her to help buy sanitary pads, intending to dispel her doubts.

Unexpectedly... she was more cautious than she imagined.

This Assistant Fu is not easily fooled!

"Miss Jin is a task assigned to Mulan by the CEO, taking care of Miss Jin means fulfilling what the CEO entrusted... and the CEO’s matters are never small for Mulan." Fu Mulan’s tone softened, perhaps due to mentioning Rong Mochen.

Jin Jumo quietly stared at Fu Mulan, a realization gradually appearing in her peach blossom eyes.

She was indeed puzzled.

Why does her probing seem endless? It turns out, this Assistant Fu likes Rong Mochen!

After finishing the fish feast Fu Mulan prepared for her, unsurprisingly, Jin Jumo spent half a day vomiting until she felt weak.

Sitting limply on the toilet for a while, Jin Jumo forced herself to freshen up, gathering her energy to walk out of the bathroom.

She unexpectedly saw Rong Mochen in the bedroom.

A shiver ran down Jin Jumo’s spine; despite vomiting in the bathroom quietly to avoid Fu Mulan hearing it from outside,

she couldn’t let her guard down completely.

"What are you staring at? Come here." Rong Mochen saw Jin Jumo standing dumbfounded at the bathroom door and glanced at her before speaking.

Jin Jumo swallowed and walked over, "Mr. Rong, when did you come back?"

Rong Mochen gave her a curious look, "A while ago."

As he spoke, Rong Mochen pulled her over, his large hand naturally resting on Jin Jumo’s stomach, "Still hurt?"

His hand landing on her stomach, Jin Jumo instinctively shivered, "It doesn’t hurt much anymore."

Watching her slightly pale face (although Jin Jumo was actually nervous), Rong Mochen presumed she was still in significant pain, gently kissing at the corner of her eye as if both sympathizing and subtly comforting her.

Jin Jumo lowered her eyelashes, the strange feeling in her heart growing stronger.

Is their relationship really suited to this kind of interaction?

Jin Jumo found it hard to adapt.

The point is, she couldn’t tell him to interact like they used to before.

With a quiet sigh in her heart, Jin Jumo raised her long lashes and looked at Rong Mochen, "Mr. Rong, why are you back now? No appointments this afternoon?"

"Came back to see you." Rong Mochen replied.

"..." What’s there to see in her! Jin Jumo felt a bit frantic.

Rong Mochen’s dark eyes silently stared at Jin Jumo’s fair face for a while, then he leaned over and picked her up horizontally.

Startled, Jin Jumo looked at him, "Mr. Rong."

Rong Mochen frowned, looking at Jin Jumo’s panicked eyes indifferently, "Do you see me as a monster?"

He suddenly said, his cold voice somewhat angry.

Jin Jumo’s heart trembled, and she instantly shut her mouth.

Was she thinking wrongly at that moment?

Rong Mochen’s face sank, placing Jin Jumo on the bed, "I have the hotel prepare brown sugar water, and Assistant Fu will bring it to you later. Have a good rest."

Jin Jumo was stupefied.

She woodenly looked at Rong Mochen.

He said... he let the hotel prepare brown sugar water?

How did he know drinking brown sugar water helps with menstrual pain, did he research?

Rong Mochen no longer looked at Jin Jumo, got up, and left the room.

When Fu Mulan brought in the brown sugar water, Jin Jumo’s expression was still somewhat unnatural.

"Miss Jin, brown sugar water." Fu Mulan handed the brown sugar water to Jin Jumo.

Jin Jumo looked at the bowl of brown sugar water, feeling an indescribable emotion in her heart.

"I haven’t seen the CEO being so good to someone in a long time." Fu Mulan spoke when Jin Jumo took the brown sugar water.

Jin Jumo’s eyelids twitched lightly, pretending not to hear, lowering her head to sip the brown sugar water little by little.

)

Fu Mulan looked at Jin Jumo, "Actually, Miss Jin and Miss Tang Ruan are very similar."

"..." Jin Jumo paused in her sip of the brown sugar water, looking at Fu Mulan, "Tang Ruan?"

"At that time, everyone thought Miss Tang Ruan would eventually be together with the CEO. After all, they were a match in talent and beauty, with compatible family backgrounds, recognized as a golden couple, but alas..."

Fu Mulan purposely left the sentence hanging, teasingly so.

Jin Jumo raised an eyebrow, lowering her head to continue drinking the remaining brown sugar water, yet she showed a lack of interest.

Quite a while passed without Jin Jumo curiously probing further, Fu Mulan squinted, "Miss Jin shouldn’t overthink. After all, aside from Miss Tang Ruan, only Miss Jin has captivated the CEO like this."

"Uh..." Jin Jumo raised her head, blinking cluelessly, laughing nonchalantly, "Miss Fu, where did you see that I am overthinking?"

"..." Fu Mulan’s face stiffened suddenly.

But Jin Jumo kept staring at her intently, like she wouldn’t relent until Fu Mulan said something.

Fu Mulan’s expression gradually faltered, her lips moving stiffly, "It’s good Miss Jin isn’t overthinking."

"So Miss Fu was worried I might overthink, which is why you’re telling me this, huh." Jin Jumo "understandingly" nodded.

Fu Mulan’s face stiffened again, hard.

Because she had the "protection" of her period, Jin Jumo "safely" survived four days in Ju City.

In the evening, Jin Jumo received a call from Ying Jingyao.

"Brother Ying."

Whenever Ying Jingyao called, no matter what she was doing, Jin Jumo would always pick up immediately.

Nerves tightened the instant the call connected.

"Momo, is Brother Ying that scary? You get so nervous every time you answer the phone." Ying Jingyao’s gentle voice came through the phone.

Hearing him say that, Jin Jumo knew it wasn’t about Jin Jiancheng.

Her heart relaxed, but she still couldn’t completely relax because of the confession at the school gate earlier, Jin Jumo took a deep breath and said, "I’m sorry, Brother Ying, I was overly nervous."

Ying Jingyao paused, his tone even softer and gentler, "Your grandfather’s situation has been stable all along, no need to worry."

The state is stable, yet he won’t wake up...

Jin Jumo raised a hand to press lightly against her slightly sore eyes, chuckling softly, "Brother Ying’s medical skills are outstanding, I have nothing to worry about."

Ying Jingyao was silent for a while, his clear voice carrying a rich, warm laughter flowing into her ears like a stream, "Good, trust Brother Ying. Brother Ying won’t let you down."

"Mm." Jin Jumo responded.

"Momo." Ying Jingyao suddenly called her.

Jin Jumo was taken aback, "Mm?"

"I want to see you." He said.

Jin Jumo’s heart skipped a beat, "Brother Ying, I’m currently not..."

"I know."

"..." Jin Jumo was stunned.

He knows?

"Wherever you are, I will come find you." His voice sounded somewhat urgent.

"..." Jin Jumo was completely bewildered.
