After leaving the rice noodle shop, Mo Mo and Jian Dan first escorted Xia Mengjiao, their VIP (Very Important Protection), home.
After safely escorting Xia Mengjiao home, Jian Dan and Mo Mo also went back to their respective homesâ¦
When Jian Dan got home, Uncle Chu hadnât returned yet. After taking a shower, she immediately called Ling Xiaoyang.
The phone rang for a long time before the other side picked up. âLittle Jian Dan, so you still remember to call me? I thought you had forgotten all about me,â came Ling Xiaoyangâs flippant voice from the other end of the line.
âHowâs your leg?â
âAlmost no problem now!â
âThatâs good! You should know why Iâm calling you this time, right?â
âHow could I possibly know? Isnât it because you want to ditch Uncle Chu and throw yourself into my arms?â Ling Xiaoyang jokingly said.
âLing Xiaoyang, be serious!â
âIâve always been serious!â Ling Xiaoyang was still goofing around with Jian Dan.
âWhat exactly happened between you and Mo Mo?â Jian didnât want to give Ling Xiaoyang another chance to play dumb.
Hearing Mo Moâs name, Ling Xiaoyangâs corners of the mouth stiffened for a moment, then returned to normal. âWhat could have possibly happened between us?â
âArenât you and herâ¦â
âHey, hey, hey~ donât talk nonsense, okay? Thereâs never been anything between us!â Ling Xiaoyang hurriedly denied it before Jian could finish her sentence.
âLing Xiaoyang, whatâs so bad about Mo Mo that you donât like her?â
âHuh~ then why donât you like me?â Ling Xiaoyang teased back in reply.
At that, Jian was left speechless.
âDo you really not feel anything for Mo Mo at all?â Jian changed her approach.
Jianâs words made Ling Xiaoyangâs heart skip a beat, his facial expressions also subtly changedâ¦
After a brief pause, he regained his composure, answering emotionlessly, âNo!â
âIt had better be like you said; otherwise, you will definitely regret it!â Although Mo Mo can be particularly stubborn sometimes, she is also a really good girl.
âLittle Jian Dan, youâre addicted to playing matchmaker, arenât you? Seeing single people and wanting to pair them up!
Arenât you supposed to be busy now? Iâve heard weddings are a very tiring affair. How do you still have time to meddle in other peopleâs business?â
âFine! It was me being nosy. Rest assured, I wonât meddle in your affairs ever again!â Jian angrily hung up the phone.
Ling Xiaoyang, whose call was just disconnected, had his gaze slowly dimâ¦
Just as Chu Liyuan had returned to the bedroom, he saw Jian Jian fuming, throwing her phone onto the bed.
âWhatâs wrong? Who upset my Jian Jian?â Chu Liyuan came to Jian Danâs side and hooked her chin.
âWho else but that Ling Xiaoyang! Itâs like casting pearls before swine, not recognizing a good heart!â
âYou contacted him?â A flash of danger passed through Chu Liyuanâs eyes.
This Ling Xiaoyang kid had lured away his wife for five years!
âMo Mo is back!
I feel like somethingâs off with Mo Mo this time, so I wanted to call and ask about the situation. But that stinky kid actually said Iâm being nosy! I wonât bother with him anymore.â
âI think thatâs a good idea! From now on, I just need to take good care of you!â Chu Liyuan whispered in Jian Danâs ear.
Feeling the warmth of Uncle Chuâs breath, Jianâs cheeks flushed red.
âI think what you should be thinking about now is our wedding!â
Jian looked up into Uncle Chuâs eyes, her arms wrapping around his neck, âUncle Chu, how can I be so blessed?â
Chu Liyuan silently smiled at Jian without saying a wordâ¦
He would give her all the happiness in the world.
