Jin Jumo saw it and showed a gentle smile on her face. Jian Liangtong touched Hao Hao’s short hair. Jin Jumo glanced sideways at Jian Liangtong and asked, "Surely Mr. and Mrs. Jian must be overjoyed to know you’re back, right?" "They don’t know I’m back yet," Jian Liangtong said. Jin Jumo was taken aback, "You’re not just going to take Hao Hao back , are you?" Jian Liangtong shook her head, "We’re not going back for now. I booked a hotel before coming back, and Hao Hao and I will be staying there for the time being." Jin Jumo slowly furrowed her brows. Jian Liangtong glanced at Jin Jumo out of the corner of her eye, wrinkling her nose and said, "What’s wrong? Frowning like an old lady, you look awful." "How long do you plan to stay?" Jin Jumo asked in a low voice. Jian Liangtong’s long black lashes fluttered slightly as she raised her eyes to look at Jin Jumo, pretending to be lighthearted, "I booked the hotel room for a week." So, after a week, she’ll have to leave. The surge of joy in Jin Jumo’s heart was immediately tempered by this news. But she knew in her heart, staying here for a week must have been a decision Jian Liangtong made after much deliberation. And, for her, a week was already a very long time... The hotel Jian Liangtong checked into was a three-star budget hotel, single room. After a flight of more than ten hours, the first thing Jian Liangtong did upon arriving at the hotel was rush to the bathroom to take a shower. Every time she got off a plane, Jian Liangtong would always complain about the food being awful. Remembering that Yulong Residence wasn’t too far away, Jin Jumo gave a few instructions to Hao Hao and then headed out. The hotel was less than two streets away from Yulong Residence. Not long after she walked out of the hotel, Jin Jumo suddenly paused, suspiciously glancing back. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt like a pair of eyes was watching her back. Yet before her, aside from the pedestrians, there was no suspicious figure. She clenched her fist, pushing down the doubt in her heart, and walked more quickly toward Yulong Residence. After picking up the food from Yulong Residence, that feeling suddenly surged again on her way back to the hotel. Jin Jumo knew, this was definitely not her imagination; she was indeed being followed! Pressing her lips together, she patted the pockets of her jeans and coat only to find her phone was left at the hotel. A chill spread across her back, and Jin Jumo took a deep breath, quickly surveying her surroundings. At that moment, she couldn’t help but feel a bit fortunate. The two streets from the hotel to Yulong Residence were fairly populated with people. Jin Jumo tried to walk where there were more people. Entering the hotel, Jin Jumo saw a group of people waiting outside the elevator, and she took a breath and unhesitatingly stood among them. Seconds later, Jin Jumo followed the group into the elevator. As she turned around, she saw a man in a black hoodie and black casual pants standing at the hotel entrance, most of his face hidden under his long robe, his head wrapped in a hat, with only his deep, calm eyes fixed directly on her. The deep, chilling look in his eyes sent a shiver up Jin Jumo’s spine. Even as the elevator slowly closed, the man continued to stare fixedly at Jin Jumo, never looking away. After gathering her emotions, Jin Jumo returned to the hotel room, not specifically telling Jian Liangtong that she might have been followed. Setting the takeout food on the table, Jin Jumo took a deep breath, seeing Jian Liangtong drooling over the dishes and said, "What are you waiting for, dig in." "Hmm... Ju Zi, you’re so thoughtful, I love you to death, mwah." Jian Liangtong said, picking up chopsticks and handing a pair to Hao Hao, and mother and son began to feast. "Mm, I’ve eaten food from many places, but I still think Z City’s is the best," Jian Liangtong said between bites. "If it’s good, eat more." "Mmm." Jian Liangtong nodded, "By the way, your phone kept ringing earlier, check who it was, don’t miss anything important." Jin Jumo picked up her phone and saw they were all calls from the driver. Jin Jumo’s eyes flickered, stood up, and walked to the balcony with her phone to call back. Jian Liangtong turned to glance at Jin Jumo standing on the balcony with her back to her, her eyes lightly shifting. "Miss Jin, where are you now?" As soon as the call connected, the driver’s urgent and tense voice came through. Jin Jumo pressed her lips, "What’s wrong?" "Miss Jin, it’s hard to explain on the phone, please just tell me your exact location, and I’ll come to pick you up," the driver said. Jin Jumo was silent for a few seconds before giving the driver the address. After ending the call, Jin Jumo stood on the balcony for a moment before turning back to the room. "Hao Hao and I are full and still need to adjust to the time difference, so we don’t have time to hang out with you. Go do whatever you need to do," Jian Liangtong said, glancing at Jin Jumo. Jin Jumo sat next to Hao Hao and tenderly patted his little head, "I’ll wait until you finish eating." "Suit yourself," Jian Liangtong said. Jin Jumo glanced at Jian Liangtong, "I’ll bring Xixi and Hanhan to visit you tomorrow." "..." Jian Liangtong paused slightly, then nodded, "I really miss them, too." Jin Jumo came out of the hotel, and the driver was already waiting at the roadside on one side. Upon seeing Jin Jumo, he took a few steps to her side, "Miss Jin." Jin Jumo nodded, walked into the car, and sat down. The driver stood outside the car, did not get in immediately, but looked around before opening the door and sitting inside. "Did you notice something?" As soon as the driver sat down, he heard Jin Jumo’s calm voice from behind. The driver glanced at Jin Jumo from the rearview mirror, "Did Miss Jin also sense it?" Jin Jumo pressed her lips together and gently nodded. The driver gasped, staring at Jin Jumo, "It seems I’m not overly suspicious, someone really is following you." Jin Jumo didn’t speak anymore, her hands slightly clenching on her knees, turning to look out the car window. Follow current novels on novel•fire.net But with just a single glance, Jin Jumo’s eyes suddenly widened. The man whom she had seen at the hotel entrance earlier was now standing under a tree on the roadside, staring at her intently with that deep look from before. Her hands instantly clenched, her breathing tightened, and her scalp started to prick. "Hmm?" Jin Jumo turned her head hastily, with lingering fear in her peach blossom eyes, looking at the driver. The driver, seeing Jin Jumo’s pale face, was startled, "Miss Jin, are you okay?" Jin Jumo blinked and slightly turned her head, looking through the rearview mirror at the previous spot, where the man was still standing, staring from afar. The driver also noticed, gripping the steering wheel tightly. Jin Jumo only felt the car speed up, her heart racing upward. "Miss Jin, please endure a little." After the driver spoke, Jin Jumo felt the car speed accelerate again. The driver cautiously parked in front of the apartment, ensuring there was no suspicious person, then let Jin Jumo get out. Seeing Jin Jumo walk into the apartment, the driver did not leave immediately but estimated she had returned to the apartment before driving toward Lei Yicheng’s headquarters. Jin Jumo had just returned to the apartment when Gu Yan arrived. Seeing Gu Yan at this time surprised Jin Jumo. Because Gu Yan never comes to the apartment when Xixi and Hanhan are not around. Gu Yan leaned coolly against the door frame, winking mischievously at Jin Jumo. "..." Jin Jumo’s eye twitched as she moved aside. Gu Yan stood straight and suddenly became serious again, "Little Mo Mo, it’s inappropriate for a man and woman to be alone in the same room, inappropriate." Jin Jumo squinted, "So, do you intend to stand at the door and talk to me?" "...Let’s talk inside then." Gu Yan twitched his lips. Jin Jumo turned and walked toward the living room. Gu Yan paused slightly, then followed awkwardly. "What would you like to drink?" Jin Jumo asked him. "Drinking alcohol now is not appropriate, easy to cause trouble, so bottled water will be fine," Gu Yan replied. "..." Jin Jumo looked at him wordlessly. Jin Jumo thought Gu Yan had something to discuss since he came to her now, but all afternoon, he was either sprawled on the sofa fiddling with his phone or flirting on calls, seemingly just here to chill with no other agenda. At half-past four, Jin Jumo got up to go out to pick up Xixi and Hanhan. Gu Yan, catching sight from the corner of his eye, quickly covered the phone microphone with one hand and looked at Jin Jumo, "Little Mo Mo, where are you going?" "Xixi and Hanhan finish school at five, I’m going to pick them up." Jin Jumo spoke as she walked toward the door. "Stop running back and forth," Gu Yan simply hung up the call without even a word of greeting. He tossed the phone on the sofa, got up, and grabbed Jin Jumo’s arm, "Lei the Second has already gone to pick up Xixi and Hanhan, so you don’t need to go today." Lei Yicheng went to pick them up? Jin Jumo was surprised for a moment, then suddenly realized something. Gu Yan’s sudden visit, combined with Lei Yicheng personally going to pick up Xixi and Hanhan, their unusual behavior only indicated one thing: they already knew about her being followed today. Having Gu Yan come to the apartment and Lei Yicheng going to pick up Xixi and Hanhan was merely to protect her. Jin Jumo felt moved, looking at Gu Yan, "Gu Yan, thank you both." "Hey, why say such things," Gu Yan blushed for once, scratching his head foolishly. Jin Jumo took a deep breath, "How about this, I’ll cook more dishes tonight, and you and Brother Lei stay for dinner." At this moment, Jin Jumo only thought about thanking Gu Yan and Lei Yicheng’s considerate actions, forgetting about someone once saying she should not cook for anyone other than him and the two little ones... Having Jin Jumo invite him, Gu Yan of course did not refuse, gladly agreeing. Jin Jumo originally thought it would just be Lei Yicheng and Gu Yan, but unexpectedly, Xiao Nanqing and... Huo Chengjin also came. Jin Jumo had never cooked for so many people at once before, and these big guys seemed to have quite an appetite. So this dinner indeed took quite some effort from Jin Jumo to prepare, and it was nearly eight o’clock when it was ready. At the dining table, Rong Mochen naturally sat at the head position, Jin Jumo sat on his left side, beside Jin Jumo’s side sat Huo Chengjin and Lei Yicheng, while Xiao Nanqing and Gu Yan sat on the side near Rong Mochen.
