Chapter 262: Chapter 254: The First Time He Directly Called Her Beautiful (1)
"..." Jin Jumo was stunned for a moment, her cheeks suddenly burning. The usually eloquent person turned into a stutterer at this moment, "I, I when, when did I ever say, say I liked you?"
Rong Mochen feigned a disappointed lip press, stared deeply at Jin Jumo, "Didn’t you? Could it be that I remembered wrong?"
Jin Jumo didn’t care, immediately said, "I don’t know who told you that, but I didn’t say it."
Rong Mochen nodded, suddenly asked, "What about now, do you like me?"
Jin Jumo’s throat choked, her peach blossom eyes widened staring at him, after a few seconds, she awkwardly turned her head away, dryly said, "I’m a bit hungry, let’s find a place to eat something."
For Rong Mochen at this moment, Jin Jumo’s evasion, deliberately changing the subject, was what comforted him the most.
If she had straightforwardly answered him on this matter, the answer he received would definitely not have been that she liked him.
On the contrary, her behavior, although he couldn’t narcissistically believe it meant she liked him, at least showed that she no longer rejected or avoided him as before.
Rong Mochen slightly raised the corners of his mouth, spread his large hand and rubbed Jin Jumo’s cheek, his deep voice filled with a kind of comforting pleasure, sounding like ancient pure brew, "You’re not answering, so I’ll take it as your default."
Jin Jumo stared straight out the window, pretending not to hear.
Seeing this, the arc at the corner of Rong Mochen’s lips curled upward even more.
Rong Mochen suddenly canceled the engagement with Gu Lingyi, and after the news broke out, the news of Rong Mochen and Gu Lingyi’s canceled engagement occupied the headlines and hot searches all over Z City.
Although the Rong Family had deep foundations in Z City and no one could shake them.
But Rong Mochen unilaterally canceling the engagement still affected the Rong Family to some extent.
So for several days, Rong Mochen was leaving early and coming back late, not even having time to eat a meal with the two little ones.
That day, Jin Jumo was thinking about what to take Xixi and Hanhan to eat in the evening when a certain person’s call came through.
Looking at the large flashing characters on the phone screen, Jin Jumo felt inexplicably flustered.
She lightly parted her lips, took several breaths before answering, "Hello."
"It’s me." The man’s rich voice carried into her eardrums.
Jin Jumo’s one ear turned red, glanced at the two little ones playing on the sofa, and whispered, "I know."
"Heh." The man chuckled softly, "It’s almost dinner time, what are you planning to eat?"
"I haven’t decided yet." Jin Jumo bit her lip.
"Then think about it some more." He said.
Jin Jumo paused, "Are you joining us for dinner?"
"Half an hour." Rong Mochen said.
Jin Jumo was confused, "What half an... It couldn’t be..."
"I’ll call you when I’m downstairs, then you bring the kids down." Rong Mochen said softly, as if afraid he’d scare Jin Jumo with a gentle tone.
Jin Jumo felt something heating in her veins, making her cheeks flush.
Ending the call, Jin Jumo dazed for two minutes, then suddenly got up, rushing into the dressing room.
When she first arrived in Z City, a certain person specially had a designer customize clothes for her and the two little ones, which had been arriving gradually since then.
The spacious dressing room was filled with men’s and women’s, boys’ and girls’ clothes and accessories in abundance.
Jin Jumo picked out a retro red shirt, then subconsciously reached for jeans.
But her hand stopped abruptly on the jeans.
After a few seconds, Jin Jumo’s hand reached for the dark denim long skirt next to the jeans.
When Jin Jumo came out of the dressing room after changing, Xixi and Hanhan were already standing obediently at the entryway waiting for her (since it was mealtime).
Seeing Jin Jumo changing clothes just to go out to eat, their small faces showed a hint of surprise.
"Mommy, why did you change clothes?" Xixi asked mischievously.
Jin Jumo’s face heated, slowly walking towards the two little ones, "Doesn’t this look good?"
Xixi blinked, raising two chubby thumbs at Jin Jumo, "Super pretty!"
Jin Jumo’s peach blossom eyes shone, "Really?"
Xixi nodded like a chick pecking rice.
Jin Jumo pursed her lips and laughed, dimples appearing.
Hanhan squinted his big dark eyes, and said softly, "Is someone going to eat with us today?"
"How do you know?" Jin Jumo was slightly puzzled.
"..." Hanhan twitched his little mouth, giving her skirt a meaningful glance.
Jin Jumo, "..."
Rong Mochen’s call came, so Jin Jumo took Xixi and Hanhan downstairs.
Because the turmoil from canceling the engagement hadn’t passed, Rong Mochen was still driving that ordinary black car.
Jin Jumo put Xixi and Hanhan in the rear car seats, then sat in the passenger seat, just settled and hadn’t fastened her seatbelt, when a fresh male scent brushed over.
Then the seatbelt buckle in her hand was taken over by the man, and fastened.
As the man pulled away from her body, Jin Jumo felt her earlobes scald suddenly as she heard his hoarse voice next to her ear, "Very beautiful."
Jin Jumo’s cheeks flushed, her peach blossom eyes grew even brighter, gazing at Rong Mochen.
In her memory, it seemed this was the first time he directly said she was beautiful...
Before Jin Jumo could shake off the strange feeling in her heart, a crisp voice came from behind, "Daddy, when Mommy went out today, she specially changed into nice clothes and a dress."
An awkward expression instantly appeared on Jin Jumo’s face, and she silently turned her face toward the car window.
Rong Mochen’s eyes formed charming wrinkles at the corners, his thin lips curved upward, and his intense dark eyes that stared at Jin Jumo seemed filled with boiling oil, burning with intensity.
In Z City, there are rumors of two places that even if you were as rich as a nation, you might not qualify to enter.
One is the high-end clubhouse "Qing She" that Rong Mochen brought Jin Jumo to.
What kind of place is Qing She exactly?
Some say Qing She is just an ordinary entertainment venue, and the fact that not everyone can enter is just an attractive gimmick.
Some say there is a reclusive master living in Qing She, whose abilities can connect heaven and earth. Everyone is eager to get into Qing She to seek the master’s help.
Others say Qing She is a terrifying organization conducting all sorts of dangerous illegal stuff, best to keep away from.
Jin Jumo had also heard the rumors about "Qing She" before.
So when Rong Mochen brought them here, Jin Jumo’s face showed no sign, but she was quite surprised inside.
Rong Mochen directly took Jin Jumo and Xixi Hanhan to the top floor.
Coming out of the elevator, Jin Jumo could not resist her inner curiosity and asked, "Aren’t we eating? Why are we here?"
Before Rong Mochen could answer, a lazy voice drifted over.
"How about treating you to a human meat hot pot?"
Jin Jumo paused and looked over.
She saw Xiao Nanqing, tall and lean, leaning against the door frame, baring his teeth crookedly at Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo’s eye twitched slightly, ignoring him.
"Let’s go." Rong Mochen, holding Xixi, held Jin Jumo’s hand, while Jin Jumo held Hanhan’s hand, walking toward Xiao Nanqing.
"Uncle Xiao, don’t eat Xixi, Xixi doesn’t taste good." As soon as they walked up to Xiao Nanqing, Xixi immediately turned her head, burying her little head into Rong Mochen’s neck and said with a sobbing tone.
Rong Mochen and the others, "..."
Xiao Nanqing almost choked, his thin lips involuntarily curled up at Xixi’s innocent words. He stretched out a long arm, easily scooped Xixi up, and let her sit on his arm, walking inside boldly, "Xixi is so cute, Uncle Xiao couldn’t bear to eat Xixi."
Xixi’s eyes brightened, but then she worriedly stared at Xiao Nanqing, whispering, "You can’t eat Brother and Mommy either."
"Hmm, won’t eat." Xiao Nanqing said with a smile, "Uncle Xiao will eat your fierce daddy, how about that?"
"Ah?" Xixi was startled, shaking her little head vigorously, "No, don’t eat Daddy."
"Why?" Xiao Nanqing laughed and glanced at Rong Mochen.
Xixi nervously rubbed her little chubby hands, her eyes looked like they had two shining gems embedded in them, "Xixi can’t bear Daddy being eaten. Uncle Xiao, do you really have to eat human meat?"
Xiao Nanqing laughed silently, "Uncle Xiao has no other hobby, just loves eating human meat."
Xixi curiously stared at Xiao Nanqing, not daring to show it too obviously, "Try something else..."
"Pfft..."
Gu Yan, whose butt had long left the chair, couldn’t help but burst out laughing at Xixi’s amusing words, grabbing Xixi from Xiao Nanqing’s lap, saying to her, "Then what should Uncle Xiao eat instead, Xixi?"
Xixi blinked, glanced at Xiao Nanqing, and weakly said, "Go vegetarian."
Go vegetarian.
"Hahaha..." Gu Yan laughed out loud.
Even Lei Yicheng, who sat sternly in his chair, couldn’t help but smile.
Xiao Nanqing scoffed, "Little rascal."
Rong Mochen fondly glanced at his adorable daughter, but then his brow furrowed slightly, staring at Xiao Nanqing, "In the future, talk less about bloody things in front of the kids."
Xiao Nanqing pouted, switching Hanhan to sit on his lap, "Alright, won’t talk about it in the future."
Jin Jumo glanced at the hot pot on the dining table, her eye twitched slightly, "Really having hot pot?"
"Yeah, human meat-flavored." Xiao Nanqing said coolly.
Jin Jumo secretly rolled her eyes at him.
"Little Mo Mo, come sit, come sit." Gu Yan’s eyes gleamed as he looked at Jin Jumo, enthusiastically patting the empty seat beside him.
Jin Jumo was just about to sit over.
But someone pinched the back of her hand.
Jin Jumo paused, looking at the person in confusion.
Rong Mochen cast a sideways glance at Gu Yan, saying coldly, "Sit here."
Rong Mochen led Jin Jumo to sit at the seat furthest from Gu Yan.
Gu Yan’s mouth twitched fiercely, feeling that his psychological shadow couldn’t be measured in square meters!
"See if there’s anything on the table you don’t like to eat?" Rong Mochen said.
Jin Jumo was stunned for a moment, did she hear wrong?
If there’s anything she doesn’t like to eat...
"Boss Rong means, if there’s something you don’t like on the table, it will be removed immediately." Gu Yan said.
"..." Jin Jumo’s face twitched, glancing at Rong Mochen.
