CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 43: FOR THE FIRST TIME, SHE HUNG UP ON HIS CALL (1)

"Ouch..."

Suddenly, her calf was kicked forcefully.

Jian Liangtong was caught off guard and almost jumped up from the stool in pain.

Clutching her calf, Jian Liangtong’s face flushed red, she turned and glared fiercely at the man beside her, "Huo Shaojun, are you crazy? Why did you kick me?"

Huo Shaojun maintained a cold demeanor, sneering, "Reminding you to wipe your drool!"

Drool?

Jian Liangtong’s face turned red. Believing it, she reached up to touch the corner of her mouth, but...felt nothing.

She saw the disdainful expression on Huo Shaojun’s face.

Jian Liangtong’s face turned green, "Huo Shaojun, how can you be so tasteless!?"

"Drooling at the sight of a man makes you tasteful?" Huo Shaojun sneered coldly.

Jian Liangtong’s face flushed crimson, half of her body stiffened, she didn’t even dare to glance at Rong Mochen, glaring at Huo Shaojun and growling lowly, "When did I drool? You’re obviously slandering me!"

"You know yourself whether you did or not!"

"I didn’t!"

"Heh..." Huo Shaojun chuckled, looking too lazy to argue with her.

Jian Liangtong was about to go crazy from his presumption that she had drooled over Rong Mochen!

How could there be such a mean and nasty man in the world!

The more Jian Liangtong thought about it, the angrier she got. She was so angry that her eyes turned red.

This bastard saying this about her, how is she supposed to face the big boss!

Seeing the red flash in Jian Liangtong’s eyes, Huo Shaojun’s brows furrowed tightly, his hand in his pocket clenched tightly, lips pressed together without saying a word.

Throughout the "debate" between the two, Rong Mochen stayed silent.

He was not a man of many words, and being of a cold nature, there were not many people or things he genuinely cared about.

Once both were quiet, Rong Mochen stood up nonchalantly, "Your mother has been very upset about your matters these past two days. Show her more concern."

With those words, he left the private room.

Just like that, he left?

Jian Liangtong sniffled, somewhat reluctantly following Rong Mochen with her eyes until his figure completely disappeared from view, only then did she reluctantly pull back her gaze.

"Stop dreaming, he’s not interested in you." Huo Shaojun’s contemptuous look made Jian Liangtong extremely uncomfortable.

"How do you know! Maybe the big boss likes my type," Jian Liangtong retorted defiantly.

Big boss?

Huo Shaojun’s eyes grew even colder, saying mercilessly, "Considering you’re a 32A?"

32...A!!

Jian Liangtong’s sore spot!

Jian Liangtong was perfect in every way; she had the looks and the height, her only flaw was...small breasts!

"Even my 32A is better than your ED!" Jian Liangtong shouted in anger, not even aware of what she was saying.

ED?

Huo Shaojun’s face darkened instantly, his long, sharp eyes glaring at Jian Liangtong as if to tear her apart, gritting his teeth, "Say that again!"

"Even my 32A is better tha—, what, what are you doing?"

Mid-sentence, Jian Liangtong saw Huo Shaojun standing up aggressively, her heart trembled, watching him vigilantly.

Huo Shaojun closed in on her, his narrow eyes full of predatory intent like a beast, "Didn’t you say I have ED? Tonight I’ll show you whether I do or not!"

With that, Huo Shaojun pried open Jian Liangtong’s fingers grasping the table one by one.

Jian Liangtong struggled desperately, but her face turned pale as he dragged her out of the room.

Sometimes, a woman has to admit the absolute advantage men have in terms of strength!

G University, girls’ dormitory.

Jin Jumo, having hung up on Rong Mochen, sat in a chair, her mind unable to calm down.

This was the first time she hung up on him!

Rong Mochen was cold, yet undeniably strong and proud. She now couldn’t imagine his reaction to being hung up on.

Jin Jumo bit her lip.

Whatever she couldn’t do before, she’s done now. There’s no point in worrying about it, just adds to the anxiety, so might as well not think about it.

She glanced at the clock on her computer, it was almost eight o’clock.

By this time, Jian Liangtong should have gotten off work. With her personality, once she returns to school she’d surely come to her first for her gifts within no time, unable to wait for Jin Jumo to deliver it to her.

Also, she was hungry, craving a feast at Cherish.

Thinking this, Jin Jumo picked up her phone and dialed Jian Liangtong’s number.

The call connected after a short while.

"Liangtong..."

"Beep..."

Just as Jin Jumo began to speak, the call was disconnected.

Slightly stunned, Jin Jumo thought the hang-up was accidental, so she tried calling again.

However, this time she was greeted by the message that the phone was turned off.

"..." What’s going on?

Jin Jumo frowned in puzzlement, tried twice more, but still, the phone was off.

Could something have happened?

Jin Jumo’s heart was slightly anxious.

Just then, a message slid onto her phone.

Jin Jumo looked down to see it was from Jian Liangtong.

"Ju Zi, busy with an announcement, can’t take calls, don’t worry."

Seeing the message, Jin Jumo’s anxious heart returned to its place.

She had forgotten.

Jian Liangtong’s job isn’t like a regular 9-to-5 office worker’s, her work hours have to align with Huo Shaojun’s schedule.

In other words, Jian Liangtong can only rest when there’s no announcement or when specially allowed by Huo Shaojun.

The wish to feast at Cherish was dashed, leaving Jin Jumo to head to the school cafeteria grumpy and hungry.

Next morning, eleven o’clock.

Hospital, gynecology department.

Jin Jumo had arrived at the hospital at nine o’clock, followed protocol to get an ultrasound, and the results were now out.

Jin Jumo was sitting in the gynecologist’s office.

The person seated across from her was a young female doctor.

Jin Jumo’s expression was calm, but the hands resting on her knees were almost tearing a hole in her jeans.

The female doctor smiled at Jin Jumo, "Congratulations, Miss Jin, you’re pregnant."

"..." Jin Jumo clenched her hands tightly, her mouth finally unable to maintain a rigid smile.

"The baby is already six weeks old, Miss Jin, look." The doctor, not noticing Jin Jumo’s strangeness, smilingly passed the ultrasound images to her, pointing them out.

Jin Jumo numbly directed her gaze to the image.

Six weeks.

Almost a month and a half!

So, it really is from the night before someone left for the UK!

But, does her luck have to be this good that just one forgotten precaution led to this...

"Born in ’94...Miss Jin, I’m so envious of you, becoming a mom at such a young age." The doctor, looking at the birthdate on Jin Jumo’s medical record, remarked whether sincerely or deliberately, before handing the record back to her.

Though Jin Jumo had mentally prepared herself, the moment she received confirmation, she couldn’t stay calm.

She had no mood to listen to the doctor’s words.

The doctor, even though still advising Jin Jumo on pregnancy no-no’s, noticed her inattentiveness, with eyes flickering slightly, and stopped speaking.

With a slightly dazed expression, Jin Jumo left the gynecology office and was about to exit the hospital when a hand tapped her shoulder from behind.

Startled, Jin Jumo turned around.

Upon seeing Mu Yan standing in front of her, still with a big backpack and a neat ponytail, she was surprised, "Little Yan, what are you doing here?"

"I wasn’t feeling well, so I came to get checked," Mu Yan said.

Jin Jumo looked at Mu Yan’s bright face, puzzled, "You’re not feeling well?"

Mu Yan’s eyes flickered, glancing towards the gyno office behind Jin Jumo, "Sister Jin, what brings you to the hospital?"
