Chapter 202: Chapter 198: What Law Am I Breaking by Holding My Own Daughter? (1)
Jin Jumo’s hand gradually tightened around his. Hanhan pursed his little mouth, glanced at Jin Jumo’s slightly trembling eyes, frowned, and looked warily at the man walking behind Jin Jumo.
"Where are you going?" Leng Qingqing’s voice came coldly from behind her.
Jin Jumo tightened her embrace around Xixi without speaking.
Suddenly, her shoulders were gripped by two powerful hands. Jin Jumo held her breath, closed her eyes, and said in a low voice, "I’m taking Xixi and Hanhan to school."
After she spoke, it was a while before the man’s icy voice came from behind, "It’s too early to take Xixi and Hanhan to school now. Wait until after breakfast, I’ll take them."
"There’s no need..."
"It’s decided." Rong Mochen said.
"..." Jin Jumo wanted to say more, but the weight on her arm lightened as Xixi was taken from her arms by the man.
"Put down my sister." The child’s voice sounded with surprising authority, echoing loudly in the confined space.
"..." Jin Jumo was stunned, slowly lowering her head to look at Hanhan, who was clenching his fists and seriously staring at Rong Mochen.
Rong Mochen’s dark eyes narrowed as he looked at the little figure standing before him, only reaching his knees.
"Put down my sister." Hanhan furrowed his small brows, glaring at Rong Mochen with great spirit, and repeated.
Rong Mochen looked at the small face resembling his own, raised his eyebrows, and his stern demeanor softened considerably, "Can you give me a reason?"
"Xixi is my sister. You’re nothing, so you can’t hold her." Hanhan calmly replied.
"That’s not a valid reason." Rong Mochen responded lightly upon hearing this.
He’s not nothing; he’s the biological father of these two little ones!
Hanhan’s eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, he thought for a moment with pursed lips and said crisply, "You’re stealing; it’s against the law."
Even knowing the law...
Rong Mochen’s deep black eyes showed a hint of interest, his lips curled ambiguously, "I’m holding my own daughter, breaking whose law?"
"..." Hanhan didn’t expect him to answer like that, his big eyes widened, staring at Rong Mochen’s mature, profound face, and his ears inexplicably reddened. After a long silence, he furrowed his little brows and quietly said, "You’re not."
What Hanhan meant was not spoken, but both Jin Jumo and Rong Mochen understood.
Rong Mochen’s dark eyes lingered deeply on Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo lowered her lashes, her face calm and revealing no emotion.
When Gu Yan brought breakfast, Xixi was still sleeping.
Jin Jumo led Hanhan out of the bathroom after freshening up, Gu Yan rubbed his hands and looked at Jin Jumo with a smile, ingratiatingly saying, "Little Mo Mo, Boss Rong said you like the sweet heart buns, I brought them for you, they’re piping hot, come eat."
Jin Jumo thought of Gu Yan calling her "sister-in-law" in front of so many people at last night’s banquet, and his attentiveness now made her face remain indifferent, "I don’t like buns, no matter the filling."
Gu Yan choked a little, realizing Jin Jumo was upset with him, he scratched his ear helplessly, then hurriedly opened everything he brought, "If you don’t like buns, it’s okay, I also brought porridge and side dishes. If you don’t like these either, let me know and I’ll buy whatever you want to eat right away."
"..."
Jin Jumo watched Gu Yan speak cautiously and suddenly felt it was pointless.
In the end, Gu Yan acted that way last night, perhaps under someone’s orders, what was his fault really?
With a light breath, Jin Jumo lowered her gaze, led Hanhan to the dining table, and gently seated him in a chair before saying softly, "Xixi likes sweet heart buns."
Gu Yan was taken aback, not quite catching her sudden softer attitude.
It wasn’t until Jin Jumo scooped porridge into a disposable bowl for Hanhan, and Hanhan was already eating, that Gu Yan realized, his baby-face lighting up with a sincere smile as he said to Jin Jumo, "I might have remembered wrong, it’s Xixi who likes sweet heart buns."
Saying this, Gu Yan filled Jin Jumo’s bowl with porridge, "Little Mo Mo, eat some porridge. This place’s porridge is said to be famous in S City."
Jin Jumo pulled the corner of her mouth, "Qinyun Porridge House’s porridge is indeed well-known. I’ve heard that every morning people line up from the street corner to the end just to buy porridge. How long did you line up to buy it?"
"Oh, it’s nothing, just lined up for about an hour." Gu Yan waved it off carelessly.
"An hour is quite long." Jin Jumo remarked.
Gu Yan blinked, grinning mischievously at Jin Jumo, "Little Mo Mo, are you feeling sorry for me?"
Jin Jumo raised her eyebrows, "Not quite, but I’m very grateful."
"Oh, it’s nothing. Just queuing for some porridge, a minor task. Why be so formal with me? If you really like Qinyun Porridge House’s porridge, I, Gu Yan, will buy the place and cook porridge for you every morning."
Gu Yan, typical of someone who gets excited easily.
Seeing Jin Jumo no longer had the cold sarcastic attitude from before, he got enthusiastic, speaking as if he were a train on a track, unstoppable.
Jin Jumo looked at him with a smile, "You’re quite the lavish spender."
"I’m hardly wealthy, of the word ’lavish’ I’d barely warrant the ’lavish’ part." Gu Yan humorously disagreed.
Jin Jumo’s eyes crinkled with laughter even more deeply, "I didn’t expect you to have quite a sense of humor."
"I’m just trying to entertain you!" Gu Yan laughed, as if by magic, he presented Jin Jumo with a fashion bag, "Little Mo Mo, these are clothes that Boss Rong wanted me to bring you."
With that, Gu Yan glanced at Jin Jumo, still in the evening gown from the banquet, and touched his nose, saying, "When we head out later, though you look good like this, it’s not very appropriate, mainly... it’s really cold!"
"..." Jin Jumo sweated, realizing that dressing like this to take Xixi and Hanhan to kindergarten was indeed inappropriate.
Without refusing, Jin Jumo accepted the fashion bag.
Watching Jin Jumo take the bag, Gu Yan said, "Little Mo Mo, hurry and eat. I’m going in to see my girlfriend."
Girlfriend?
Jin Jumo was stunned, staring at Gu Yan, "Your girlfriend is here?"
"Little Xixi." Gu Yan said, justified, "From now on, Little Xixi is my girlfriend. When she grows up, I’ll marry her, and then I’ll call you mother-in-law."
"..." Jin Jumo almost got struck by lightning, what the heck!
Looking at Gu Yan’s seriously playful baby face, Jin Jumo swallowed hard, staring at him and asking softly, "You don’t have any weird hobbies, do you?"
He’s even older than her, isn’t he?
Calling her mother-in-law... Jin Jumo just couldn’t stand the thought!
How did he even say it?
"Weird hobbies?" Gu Yan was actually taken aback.
Jin Jumo took a deep breath, held back again and again, couldn’t hold back, glared at Gu Yan angrily, "You’re perverted!"
"Haha, hahaha..." Gu Yan stared at Jin Jumo’s indignant face, suddenly bursting into laughter.
Hanhan glanced at Gu Yan, his little eyes particularly disdainful.
Jin Jumo looked at Gu Yan laughing boisterously, blinked, and suddenly realized she’d been tricked by him!
Breathing a sigh of relief, Jin Jumo watched him laugh until he clutched his stomach, and chuckled angrily, "How old are you, making jokes like this? Isn’t it childish?"
"Haha..."
Rong Mochen emerged from the bedroom, seeing Gu Yan laughing heartily, and Jin Jumo with an expression of being fed up but lightly smiling. His dark eyes squinted slightly, cold face softening a bit, "What’s so funny?"
As soon as Rong Mochen spoke, Gu Yan immediately stopped laughing, even though his baby face was flustered, he looked at Rong Mochen earnestly and said, "Nothing, nothing."
Kidding!
Would he dare tell him that when Xixi grows up, he wants her to be his girlfriend like that?
Even if it’s just a joke, if he dared to say it, someone would kick and break his ribs any second, wouldn’t they?
Rong Mochen slightly furrowed his brow, pursed his lips and looked at Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo’s expression returned to calm, a layer of chill flicked across her eyes and eyebrows, she glanced at him, and softly said to Hanhan, "I’m going to wake up sister, Hanhan can you eat on your own?"
Hanhan nodded, "Mom, you go, if Xixi doesn’t get up soon, she’ll be late again."
Jin Jumo patted his head, got up and walked towards the bedroom.
When passing by a certain someone’s side, the hand hanging by her side was pinched hard, and quickly released.
Jin Jumo’s knuckles hurt and went numb, frowning tightly, her gaze still not going to him, calmly walking into the bedroom.
Rong Mochen slightly tilted his head, watching Jin Jumo’s straight back, his dark eyes deepened, then he turned to look at Gu Yan, his gaze suddenly fierce.
Gu Yan’s heart trembled, he raised his chin pretending to look at a UFO.
In the car heading to kindergarten, Gu Yan acted as the driver in the driver’s seat, Rong Mochen sat in the passenger seat.
Jin Jumo sat in the back seat with the two children.
After waking up, Xixi hurriedly dressed and washed, not having time for breakfast, now she’s sitting in the car seriously eating a sugary heart bun.
Every three seconds, Gu Yan glances at the adorable Xixi munching on the bun from the rearview mirror, his hands gripping the steering wheel itching terribly, wanting to pinch her puffed-up cheek.
Jin Jumo noticed Gu Yan’s excessively frequent glances at Xixi, and when Gu Yan looked again through the rearview mirror, she raised her eyes and glared at him.
Gu Yan’s mouth twitched, he sullenly lowered his eyes, staring straight ahead.
"Mommy, I want to drink water." Xixi raised her sparkling eyes to look at Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo glanced at the milk she’d warmed up nearby, "There’s no water, would you like milk instead?"
Xixi nodded.
Jin Jumo brought the milk to Xixi’s lips.
Xixi took two sips, then suddenly stared at the milk bottle, not moving.
Seeing this, Jin Jumo silently thought this wasn’t good, looked over at Hanhan.
Hanhan also nervously watched Xixi.
Suddenly, Xixi frowned, pouted, and grumbled, "Where’s my little water bottle?"
Ugh...
Jin Jumo licked her lower lip, "Well, darling, your little water bottle is at home. How about not taking it today?"
"..." Xixi sulked, looking pitifully at Jin Jumo with her big eyes.
Xixi had a little item she particularly cherished, a cartoon water bottle.
The water bottle wasn’t bought by Jin Jumo, as for where it came from or how it got to Xixi’s hands, no matter how Jin Jumo asked Xixi, Xixi stubbornly didn’t reveal even a hint, so to this day Jin Jumo had no idea where the water bottle came from.
