The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 953: Chapter 953: “I’m back!” “Are you better?

In the midst of the silent battle of stares between the father and son, the three of them finally finished washing up and went downstairs for breakfast.

After breakfast, Jian Dan made a call to Mo Mo, “Mo Mo, I’m home alone today, bored out of my mind. Want to hang out?”

“If you’re that bored, then come and help me out. I’ve got a ton of things to do today!” Mo Mo replied bluntly.

“Just by yourself?”

“Of course not, Xia Mengjiao is in her confinement, Qin Rou and Yuanyuan have to work and only have time on weekends!”

“Alright, give me the address, and I’ll be over in a bit!” Since it was just one person, that would be easier to handle.

“Great, I’ll send you the address shortly.”

“For helping out, lunch is included, right?”

“With Chu Liyuan being the husband, do I need to treat you to a meal? Shouldn’t you be the one treating if we’re to ask anyone?”

“I’m coming over to help, and you want me to treat you to a meal? What kind of logic is that? I’m really regretting this friendship!” Jian Dan said, shaking his head on purpose.

“Ah! It’s already too late now!”

Jian Dan rolled his eyes dramatically in response.

After hanging up, Jian Dan sent the address Mo Mo had given him to Ling Xiaoyang, and he rushed over as well.

When Jian Dan arrived, he saw that Ling Xiaoyang was already there. The two stood facing each other, both appearing somewhat unnatural.

The two stood there silently, neither starting the conversation, which made Jian Dan, who was hiding nearby, anxious. He finally appeared and said, “Mo Mo~ hey, what a coincidence? Ling Xiaoyang, when did you get back? I can’t believe we’re running into each other here!” Jian Dan walked up to the two, pretending he didn’t know Ling Xiaoyang would be there.

“Jian, you’re overacting!” Mo Mo said, seeing right through Jian Dan.

Caught a little off-guard, Jian Dan laughed awkwardly, “Hehe, you noticed?” Her acting skills had regressed, detected right at the outset.

“It’s so obvious, who wouldn’t notice?”

“Stop standing there dumbstruck, say something!” Jian Dan urged Ling Xiaoyang, who kept staring dumbly at Mo Mo, giving him a hard kick.

That brought Ling Xiaoyang back to his senses, but his eyes remained fixed on Mo Mo, “I’m back!”

Mo Mo nodded at Ling Xiaoyang’s words and shifted her gaze to his leg.

Jian Dan noticed Mo Mo’s subconscious action, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

In her heart, Mo Mo must really like Ling Xiaoyang.

“Yeah! I’m all good!”

“That’s good to hear!”

“How about you? How have you been recently?”

“Me? I’ve been pretty good!”

“Good to hear!”

Jian Dan, listening on the side, was so frustrated he almost hopped with impatience, “Ling Xiaoyang, are you sure you want to keep up with this uninteresting small talk?” he said sharply to Ling Xiaoyang.

“Ah? Then what should I say?” Ling Xiaoyang asked in a low voice.

Jian Dan almost choked on his own exasperation.

When had he ever noticed Ling Xiaoyang being this dense?

“Of course you should tell Mo Mo what’s on your mind, what else?” This pointless banter was wasting their meeting.

Ling Xiaoyang’s gaze returned to Mo Mo once more…

Jian Dan could feel the tension in both of their hearts at this moment!

“Mo Mo~ I…” Just as Ling Xiaoyang was about to speak,

“Xiao Mo~” A warm male voice interrupted.

Turning towards the voice~ Meng Ran walked over slowly.

Upon arriving, he naturally took the bag in Mo Mo’s hand, “Hello!” he greeted Jian Dan and Ling Xiaoyang politely.

“He…” Faced with Meng Ran’s sudden arrival, Jian Dan began to speak.

“Oh! Meng Ran knew I had a lot to buy today, so he took the day off to keep me company!” Mo Mo explained.

“Then why did you tell me earlier you’d be alone?” Jian Dan whispered to Mo Mo’s ear.

“He told me after I spoke with you!”

This was just too awkward!

Jian Dan noticed that Ling Xiaoyang’s gaze had never left Mo Mo since his abrupt appearance…
