CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 46: THIS WOMAN IS RONG MOCHEN’S GIRLFRIEND (PART 2)

Not the cousin-in-law?

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, her face reddening as she looked at Rong Mochen, "No, isn’t he the cousin-in-law?"

The woman furrowed her brows slightly, bit her lip and glanced at Rong Mochen by her side, whispering, "Not him."

Gao Wen stood dumbfounded, staring straight at Rong Mochen.

"Dummy, you even got the cousin-in-law wrong!"

Gao Qi suddenly appeared from somewhere and noisily knocked on Gao Wen’s head.

Gao Wen cried out in pain, reached up to cover her head, and glared at Gao Qi with resentment.

Gao Qi raised his fist at her, and Gao Wen shrank her neck, hiding by the woman’s side.

Gao Qi glanced at Gao Wen helplessly, then looked at Rong Mochen and said, "Brother Mochen, my sister has a vision problem, she’s face-blind. Please don’t mind."

Rong Mochen showed no expression, "It’s no big deal."

"Little Ruan..."

This voice...

Jin Jumo felt her whole body’s cells uncontrollably boiling.

It’s, Teacher Zhou Xueyi!

It’s her voice, she wouldn’t hear it wrong!

Jin Jumo turned back excitedly, and the moment she saw Zhou Xueyi herself, she forgot about her apprehension, her heart filled only with admiration for Zhou Xueyi.

Perhaps Jin Jumo’s gaze was too intense.

Zhou Xueyi looked over at Jin Jumo.

Jin Jumo’s heart was about to jump out, her sparkling Taohua eyes were filled with excitement looking at Zhou Xueyi.

Zhou Xueyi paused, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

She didn’t know Jin Jumo.

But seeing the person next to her, Zhou Xueyi was surprised, "Young Master Ying."

Ying Jingyao glanced at the overly excited Jin Jumo by his side, chewed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and looked at Zhou Xueyi, "Happy birthday."

"Thank you, thank you!" Zhou Xueyi stepped forward, her well-preserved face showing surprise, "I didn’t expect Young Master Ying to really come, I’m such a poor host!"

"You invited me personally, Jingyao just couldn’t not come." Ying Jingyao’s attitude was warm, fitting the courteous title of a gentleman.

While speaking, his eyes filled with smiles looked at Jin Jumo, with a soft voice carrying a hint of affection, "Seeing your idol, you can’t speak?"

Jin Jumo’s face turned red, she glared at Ying Jingyao, which drew more laughter from Ying Jingyao’s eyes.

Jin Jumo’s neck turned red, nervously looking at Zhou Xueyi, "Zhou, Teacher Zhou, happy birthday."

Having seen Ying Jingyao’s attitude towards Jin Jumo, Zhou Xueyi understood, her demeanor kinder to Jin Jumo, "Thank you."

Jin Jumo, shy like a little girl, bashfully handed the gift in her hand to her, "Teacher Zhou, this is a birthday present I hope you’ll like."

Jin Jumo’s voice was sweet and soft, at the moment naturally shy, exuding without a hint of artifice.

Heard in the ears, yet, it melts the heart.

Rong Mochen’s deep and dark eyes squinted slightly, his thin lips lightly pressed together, suddenly stepping forward with long strides.

"Birthday gift? Let me see."

Gao Qi swiftly grabbed the elegantly wrapped gift box from Jin Jumo’s hand, destructively tearing apart the silk ribbons Jin Jumo had carefully tied.

Jin Jumo’s heart tensed; she actually hoped Teacher Zhou Xueyi would unbox it herself.

However, having her son open it is... the same, right!

Jin Jumo comforted herself.

"You child, such bad manners."

Zhou Xueyi glared at Gao Qi, yet her gentle face bore a fond smile.

"There’s no outsiders here, why bother with manners?" Gao Qi said, winking at Jin Jumo, his eyes bright and pure.

Jin Jumo paused slightly.

"Ah, Miss Zhou, isn’t this the purple clay teaware set you’ve been eyeing recently?" Gao Qi exclaimed.

"It is." Zhou Xueyi happily picked it up, carefully examining it, even the small details matched the teaware she wanted to buy, surprised and pleased looking at Jin Jumo,

"I saw this teaware at the store some time ago, wanting to buy it then, but since I already had many at home, hesitated for a moment. Returned home regretting not purchasing it. Later when I went back, unfortunately, it was sold."

Jin Jumo couldn’t believe the coincidence, seeing Zhou Xueyi incredibly liking the gift she bought, her heart filled with joy, her Taohua eyes smiling like crescents, cheerfully and shyly saying, "As long as Teacher likes it."

"Like it, love it. Thank you."

Jin Jumo’s whole body shook for a moment, her small face lightly quivering, joyfully looking at the hand being held by her idol.

She’s decided.

For the next week, she won’t wash her hand!

"N-No problem." Jin Jumo took a breath, her voice small like a mosquito.

Ying Jingyao watched Jin Jumo completely behaving like a little girl before Zhou Xueyi, his clear eyes twinkling with stars, gently observing her.

"Auntie." A soft voice called from behind.

Jin Jumo was still steeped in the thrill of shaking hands with her idol, her eyes casually glanced back, only seeing a patch of iron-gray shadow.

Dismissively, she withdrew her gaze, her Taohua eyes fixed on Zhou Xueyi.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Jin Jumo’s face suddenly turned pale.

Her whole body uncontrollably stiffened.

Her dark eyes trembled slightly, lightly swallowing her throat, cautiously directing her eyes to glance back.

Just one glance.

Jin Jumo nearly screamed in fright.

Pressed her teeth together to not utter a sound.

What’s happening?

When did he walk behind her?

She hadn’t noticed at all!

Hearing the voice, Zhou Xueyi released Jin Jumo’s hand and looked up.

Stunned as she saw Jin Jumo’s back right in front of a cold "sculpture," her eyes contracting again and again, "Mochen."

Rong Mochen stood right behind Jin Jumo, and Jin Jumo’s back was almost pressed up against Rong Mochen’s chest.

His cool dark eyes looked at Zhou Xueyi, faintly nodded, "Happy birthday."

"Th-Thank you!" Zhou Xueyi appeared both too shocked and surprised, her complexion not quite natural, somewhat rigid.

Her quivering eyes landed on the woman walking towards them from behind.

"Auntie."

As the woman passed Rong Mochen, she glanced at him tightly pressed lips, then reached Zhou Xueyi’s side, gently clasping her arm and whispered, "Auntie, Si Nan’s leg condition relapsed, making it inconvenient for him to go out, so he had Mochen accompany me here."

Zhou Xueyi’s eyes twinkled, she didn’t respond to the woman’s words, instead gazing at Rong Mochen, her eyes complex.

Since Zhou Xueyi’s birthday party was organized by her family, Gao Qi and Gao Wen chose a theme of BBQ party.

In the center of the meadow was a cream-white oval long table, adorned with assorted fruits and catered by professional chefs for everyone’s BBQ.

Sitting at the dining table, everyone first celebrated the birthday of today’s star Zhou Xueyi, and things went well until the congratulations ended when the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Teacher Zhou Xueyi also didn’t say much, and everyone else just focused on their meals, the awkwardness was nearly palpable.

Jin Jumo originally planned to eat quietly, then "safely" leave.

But there’s Gao Qi with a mouth that wouldn’t close beside her.

"Momo, try this, it’s freshly grilled and tasty."

"Oh, thank you."

"Momo, prefer juice or beer? Juice, right? Girls shouldn’t drink too much alcohol."

"..."

"Momo, the honeydew melon is sweet, you should taste it too."

"..."

Honestly!

If he weren’t her idol’s son, Jin Jumo truly wanted to hit him!

She’d never met a man who talks this much!

No, she hasn’t even met a woman who talks this much!

"Momo, freshly grilled fish..."

"Thanks, I’m going to the bathroom!"
