"Ningning, how is it? Doesn't Madam Mo feel very fond of you?" Sun Xiaojing said excitedly.
"Jingjing, I'm just going to say hello, don't talk nonsense."
“I’m talking nonsense, what nonsense am I talking about? Ningning is a naturally beautiful and talented woman, a true beauty in the world,” Sun Xiaojing continued to praise Ge Ning from the side.
"Alright, Jingjing. I don't expect Madam Mo to have a high opinion of me. Let things take their natural course," Ge Ning said casually, sitting there.
"Okay, okay, let nature take its course, that's good. Let's continue eating, hehe," Sun Xiaojing said to Ge Ning with a mischievous grin.
"Eat up, only food can shut you up," Ge Ning said, placing a large shrimp into Sun Xiaojing's bowl.
"Alright, alright, I'll eat now. Our Miss Ge is just shy."
Sun Xiaojing said as she peeled shrimp for Ge Ning.
Sun Xiaojing's family was not as wealthy as Ge Ning's family. The Sun family was just a small nouveau riche, and many of their businesses were related to the Ge family.
This is why Sun Xiaojing has been so eager to curry favor with Ge Ning.
Although Sun Xiaojing sometimes disapproved of Ge Ning's spoiled attitude, she had no choice but to follow her father's strict orders to try her best to curry favor with Ge Ning.
This is why, even though she's a girl, she gets more pocket money than her brother.
"Jingjing, I'm done eating. Let's go."
"Ah, there's still so much left," Sun Xiaojing said, looking at the many delicious dishes still on the table, and feeling a little reluctant to leave since she wasn't full.
"Let's go, we'll go eat something else later."
Ge Ning went up and took Sun Xiaojing's arm and left, because after seeing Madam Mo, Ge Ning had no appetite at all.
Looking at Madam Mo, she thought of Mo Jingchen at the banquet that day. He was handsome and rich, and she fell in love with him at first sight. She felt in her heart that a woman as outstanding as her should be matched with such an outstanding man.
Ge Ning, who was obsessed with how to marry into the Mo family and become the young mistress of the Mo family, took Sun Xiaojing to a beauty salon as soon as she left the hot pot restaurant.
After all that fuss, looking at her flawless skin, she smiled and nodded in satisfaction, then swiped her card and left...
On the other hand, after the meal, An Yiruo was dragged by her mother-in-law and grandmother to buy many things.
Luxury handbags that were once out of reach for her can now be bought entirely by her mother-in-law...
From head to toe, the things the two bought for An Yiruo today are so many that she probably won't be able to wear them all in a whole quarter.
Clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry—you name it, they have it.
After shopping, Gu Wanting took the two of them to get beauty treatments, and the three of them didn't get back by car until evening.
Since Mo Jingchen had just made a phone call, the driver took An Yiruo directly back to Xinghai Bay.
"Jingchen, take good care of An'an," Gu Wanting said to her son.
Mo Jingchen remained aloof as always and did not respond to Gu Wanting, who was already used to it.
"Mom, Grandma, be careful on the road," An Yiruo said, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere between the two.
"Okay, An'an is so sensible. If Jingchen bullies you, just tell Mom, and Mom will come and stand up for you."
"Thank you, Mom. Jingchen treats me very well."
"You brat, treat An'an well. Your mother and I are leaving now, so as not to disturb your time together."
After finishing her speech, Madam Mo swiftly closed the car door and left.
After the two left, Mo Jingchen kept staring at An Yiruo.
"Mr. Mo, is there something on my face?"
"I just think Miss An looks very beautiful today." Mo Jingchen had to admit that he was attracted by An Yiruo's beauty the moment she got out of the car.
Especially today, An Yiruo's delicate skin is as smooth and supple as a freshly peeled egg.
"Mom took me to get a beauty treatment today, and maybe it's because of that. Also, Mom and Grandma bought me a lot of things today, which cost them a lot of money," An Yiruo said, her face slightly flushed.
"Yes, but Miss An is naturally beautiful, she looks good even without beauty treatments. Besides, this amount of money is nothing to them. They are happy to buy things for their daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, so Miss An doesn't need to feel too much pressure."
An Yiruo had no idea what had gotten into Mo Jingchen today, that he was suddenly being so sweet-talking.
"Let's go back. It's windy at night, and you might catch a cold," Mo Jingchen said, putting his arm around An Yiruo as they walked towards home.
As soon as they entered the elevator, An Yiruo was pinned against the wall by Mo Jingchen, who wanted to lean down and kiss her.
“Mr. Mo, there are security cameras.” An Yiruo pushed Mo Jingchen away somewhat embarrassedly in the elevator and pointed to the security camera in the corner.
“Then let’s wait until we get home…” Mo Jingchen said in An Yiruo’s ear.
An Yiruo understood what Mo Jingchen meant, and her ears felt slightly hot.
"What a little devil, still so shy even after we've been married for so long. But... I like her."
“Mr. Mo, who said we’re an old married couple? Please don’t talk nonsense,” An Yiruo corrected Mo Jingchen’s choice of words.
"We've done this so many times, aren't we an old married couple or what?"
"You... how can you say this so casually, as if it were a meal?"
"Hmph, love between men and women is a natural thing, there's nothing to be ashamed of."
"Oh, I wonder who said they had gynophobia... Ah..."
Before she could finish speaking, An Yiruo was picked up by Mo Jingchen. Suddenly suspended in mid-air, An Yiruo hugged Mo Jingchen's neck in fear.
"Miss An, you've been quite talkative today," Mo Jingchen said, carrying An Yiruo out of the elevator and heading straight home.
When I returned home, Uncle Wang was not there to greet me at the door. Strangely, the room was quiet as if no one was there.
Although An Yiruo was being held by Mo Jingchen, she couldn't help but look around.
"What is Miss An looking for?"
"Where did Uncle Wang and the others go?"
“I’m giving them a day off; they won’t be in this apartment tonight.”
"Huh? You're on holiday?"
"To make things easier for Miss An, so that she won't feel embarrassed again..." Mo Jingchen said with a smile.
"Mo...Jing...Chen"
An Yiruo was somewhat embarrassed, annoyed, and unhappy as she spoke.
"Miss An, would you like to take a shower first or..." After carrying An Yiruo back to the bedroom, Mo Jingchen did not put her down immediately, but asked for An Yiruo's opinion.
"Take a shower first," An Yiruo said loudly, though she sounded somewhat unhappy.
"Okay, I'll take a shower first. I'll do as Miss An says."
After finishing his sentence, Mo Jingchen picked up An Yiruo and strode towards the bathroom.
