Chapter 31: Mr. Rong Came Here to See His Girlfriend

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Mr. Rong Came Here to See His Girlfriend One hand casually rested on the car window, with long fingers holding a lit cigarette. The face of Qing Jue, cold and aloof, remained expressionless, and his deep, dark eyes were slightly narrowed, appearing mysterious under the thin smoke. Under the man’s icy gaze, Jin Jumo swallowed dryly. Ying Jingyao also clearly saw the man in the car, his lips pursed and eyes flashed with surprise. The man in the car, he naturally recognized. But, because he recognized him, it was all the more surprising. Just when Jin Jumo was racking her brain on how to quickly "dismiss" Ying Jingyao, she caught sight of the man in the car opening the door and stepping out. Jin Jumo held her breath, eyes wide open, staring blankly at the person. At this moment, Rong Mochen didn’t look at her, his sculpted features were cold and handsome enough to take one’s breath away. Then, what came next left Jin Jumo completely stunned. "Young Master Ying, a pleasure to meet you." Rong Mochen squinted, a cigarette dangling between his thin lips, his noble brows slightly furrowed, one hand in his pocket, and the other reaching out to Ying Jingyao. Ying Jingyao’s eyes flashed with surprise at Rong Mochen’s initiative, he shook hands with him, "A pleasure." Rong Mochen’s expression was indifferent, he retracted his hand, his long, articulated fingers holding the cigarette and taking a deep inhale, he suddenly turned his head to Jin Jumo, his voice cool, "Girlfriend?" "..." Jin Jumo’s heart trembled sharply, the words "No" nearly slipped out. Her fingertips pinched her palm hard to finally refrain from speaking. After all, even if it’s "No," it shouldn’t be her answering. Ying Jingyao’s eyes softened, looking at Jin Jumo, "If she is willing, it would be an honor for me." "..." Jin Jumo closed her eyes painfully, silently lowering her head again. Rong Mochen raised his eyebrows slightly, didn’t say anything more, but also didn’t leave. The air instantly became somewhat stagnant and slightly awkward. Ying Jingyao’s mouth twitched slightly. Obviously, he had nothing much to say to this President Rong, just waiting for the person to suggest leaving. But the person stubbornly wouldn’t. No choice, couldn’t just let the atmosphere stay awkward, Ying Jingyao had to speak up, smiling, "Mr. Rong is here... to see your girlfriend?" See your girlfriend? Jin Jumo was taken aback, thinking it wasn’t impossible. After all, President Rong had never come to the school to look for her before, not once. So there’s no reason for him to come to the school for her this time. The more she thought, the more she found it possible, Jin Jumo, with a gossiping spirit, dared to glance sideways at the certain someone. But unexpectedly bumped right into a pair of deep, cold dark eyes. Her eyes trembled lightly, Jin Jumo braced herself and pretended to smile at him, with a bit of a flattering touch. Rong Mochen, however, gave no face, his dark eyebrows furrowed and coldly turned his gaze away, "Just passing by." Just passing by... That really is... a great reason! Ying Jingyao raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn’t say anything. Originally he was just asking casually, so whether the answer was perfunctory or not really didn’t matter. "...Brother Ying." Jin Jumo thought twice, finding this place really unsuitable for a long stay, so she said, "Since you met... a friend, I won’t disturb you and your friend catching up, I’ll head back to the dormitory first." Ying Jingyao’s lips pressed together, as if he had more to say, but glancing at the side at Rong Mochen who was "just passing by" but wouldn’t leave, he had to give up. "Okay." Ying Jingyao said. Jin Jumo nodded, paused for two seconds, then turned and walked toward the school. Watching Jin Jumo’s figure disappear into the school, Ying Jingyao finally shifted his gaze back to Rong Mochen, smiled slightly, "There’s a surgery waiting for me at the hospital. Otherwise, I definitely would have to treat Mr. Rong to a drink." "I heard the Ying Group’s UK headquarters decided to set up a branch in S City, Young Master Ying, as the sole heir of the Ying Group, are you not planning to go to S City to take charge?" Rong Mochen’s voice was faint. Ying Jingyao’s smile didn’t fade, "Even I didn’t know about the Ying Group planning to set up a branch in S City. Indeed... Mr. Rong is well-informed." For Ying Jingyao’s meaningful words, Rong Mochen showed no expression. Ying Jingyao curled his lips, "I’ll take my leave for now, we’ll arrange a time for drinks, Mr. Rong." "Suit yourself, Young Master Ying." Rong Mochen nodded. At the moment of turning, Ying Jingyao slightly furrowed his brows. Ying Jingyao’s car left about ten minutes later, a slightly sneaky little head peeked out from the school gate. Upon seeing the black Cayenne parked not far away, the head quickly shrank back. After another five minutes, the owner of that head slowly walked out. With an exaggeratedly "natural" look, seemingly quite intentionally, she walked towards the direction of the black Cayenne. "Hi, Mr. Rong." Rong Mochen looked at her, not saying a word, until his stare made the smile on Jin Jumo’s face stiffen. Suddenly, the man leaned in close, his fingers, still holding the cigarette, grasped her chin, and a puff of smoke blew directly onto her face. Jin Jumo coughed violently from the smoke. But just as she couldn’t stop coughing and was extremely embarrassed, the man’s thin lips were fiercely upon hers. Tears welled up in Jin Jumo’s eyes from the emotion. But if she really did so, ha, the result awaiting her would undoubtedly be—if not death, then definitely shedding a layer of skin. Having dealt with him for so long, Jin Jumo somewhat understood Rong Mochen’s temperament. Soft approaches work better than hard ones. The more you go head-to-head with him, don’t blame him for pushing you to the brink. On the contrary, if you listen obediently, even the biggest issue could possibly be downplayed or even dismissed. So Jin Jumo banked on Rong Mochen’s personality, choosing in this moment to submit was certainly wise. Though she also felt a bit cowardly! But, the arm is somehow no match for the thigh, so why stir up trouble for herself? Getting into the car, Jin Jumo took some deep breaths, looked at Rong Mochen, "How come you’re here in person today, Mr. Rong?" Rong Mochen coldly swept a glance at Jin Jumo, "How else could I know you’re so obedient." "..." Jin Jumo shamelessly grinned, "I’ve always been very obedient to Mr. Rong." Rong Mochen finally looked directly at Jin Jumo, but the emotions in his dark eyes were unclear. At his gaze, Jin Jumo immediately beamed like a flower. Rong Mochen’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch a little. He frowned, "Thinking about getting a boyfriend?" How should we say, given their... "relationship," discussing this doesn’t seem strange? But since the President is interested, Jin Jumo couldn’t refuse to engage. Pursing her lips, she answered quite officially, "Just started working, currently focused on doing a good job. Other things will come naturally, haha, I’m not in a rush." Rong Mochen stared at Jin Jumo, "So, you will look?" "..." Jin Jumo was somewhat dumbfounded, then smiled, "Mr. Rong doesn’t think I should grow old alone, does he?" So, the answer is: Yes! Rong Mochen’s dark eyes squinted slightly, the flow inside the car slowly became somewhat eerie—cold! Feeling the chill, Jin Jumo rubbed her arms, stupidly asking, "Did Mr. Rong turn on the air conditioning?" "..." Rong Mochen’s brows furrowed tightly, his lips taut, saying nothing. With no answer from him, Jin Jumo stretched her neck to look at the air conditioning switch and discovered it wasn’t on. A glance flashed wishfully at Rong Mochen, she awkwardly laughed, "It’s not on, haha." "Seatbelt." Rong Mochen’s voice was inexplicably cold. Jin Jumo assumed he was still displeased by what he saw earlier, and hurriedly shut her mouth, obediently fastened her seatbelt. "Going to Ju City tomorrow." As the car started, Rong Mochen said faintly. Ju City? Jin Jumo was slightly stunned, she suppressed her inner excitement, looked at Rong Mochen, "Will we be going for a long time again?" Ju City, a tourist city directly under Z City’s jurisdiction, with abundant natural resources, its wide variety of entertainment is also a major feature.
