Before leaving the community, Mo Ming immediately called Jessica and said, "Jessica, we're heading out now. Is everything arranged?"
"Everything is set, boss. You can shop with peace of mind today; I guarantee nothing will go wrong," Jessica yawned and said, "Oh God, you have no idea how much effort I put in to ensure that you and Miss Jun can have a safe and enjoyable time. I just fell asleep not long ago, and you've woken me up again."
After Mo Ming left last night, Jessica quickly got to work. She was someone who disliked procrastination and never left tasks until the next day. Therefore, after a night of busy preparations, everything was ready.
"I'm sorry, Jessica. You've worked hard. Today you can put aside your tasks and take a good rest," Mo Ming awkwardly laughed as he sensed the complaint in Jessica's tone.
"No need to be so polite. As long as you and Miss Jun have a good time, my efforts will not be in vain," Jessica chuckled lightly and added, "Oh, by the way, where does Miss Jun plan to go?"
"Hold on, let me ask her," Mo Ming turned to Jun Qianqian and asked, "Where do you plan to go today?"
"What’s going on? What are you doing so early?" Jun Qianqian was puzzled. Seeing Mo Ming calling Jessica again and asking her where she wanted to go made her suspicious. She looked him up and down and guessed, "Do you have some surprise for me?"
"Miss Jun, you're overthinking it," Mo Ming rolled his eyes dramatically and said, "It's just for your safety that I've made some arrangements. Now hurry up and tell me!"
"Hmph! I knew you lacked emotional intelligence!" Jun Qianqian said with a hint of disappointment before thinking for a moment and replied, "Let's go to the commercial district downtown; there should be plenty of things there that I need."
Mo Ming didn't respond further to Jun Qianqian and directly informed Jessica, "She said she wants to go to the downtown commercial district."
"Got it! See? Women understand women. Last night I already sent some people to the key points there. As long as the Four-Faced Buddha dares to show up, I guarantee he will become four holes... no, countless holes!" Jessica smiled slightly and said, "Alright then, boss. I'm going to take a nap now. I wish you a smooth day ahead; may no bad things hinder your romance."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jessica hung up on Mo Ming's call and immediately dialed those she had arranged for earlier to give them instructions. Once she informed Seductive and others about it, she felt relieved enough to lie back down and sleep.
Not long after Mo Ming's car left the community, a convoy followed closely behind him at a safe distance. When they reached a fork in the road, the convoy split up; only Seductive's car remained tightly behind Mo Ming.
Though they had separated, all destinations were still directed towards the downtown commercial district as arranged by Jessica. This was primarily for Mo Ming's protection; it was easier to safeguard him from the shadows. Additionally, Jessica feared that if their target was too obvious, the Four-Faced Buddha would notice them, which would ruin her plan of killing two birds with one stone.
The first goal was to protect Mo Ming; that was paramount. The second goal was to eliminate the Four-Faced Buddha; this was secondary. As long as the Four-Faced Buddha dared to approach Mo Ming, he would undoubtedly meet his demise.
Along the way, Jun Qianqian kept pestering Mo Ming about any special arrangements for today. Initially reluctant to explain, Mo Ming eventually gave in due to her persistent questioning.
After he finished explaining, Jun Qianqian fell silent and stopped asking questions. The morning traffic was heavy since it was peak commuting time; they were stuck in traffic for quite a while but finally arrived safely at the downtown commercial district.
However, due to traffic congestion, Seductive and the others were all stuck on the road and couldn't catch up in time. At this moment, if the Four-Faced Buddha had set up an ambush, it could be dangerous, as it would be hard to guarantee that the Four-Faced Buddha hadn't arranged for gunmen to deal with him.
“Damn it, Mo Ming, how does this outfit look?”
“Um, it's okay.”
“What about this one? Is it pretty?”
“Pretty.”
“But I think the collar is a bit too wide. Hey, damn it, Mo Ming, are you even listening to me?” Throughout their walk, the conversation between Mo Ming and Jun Qianqian was rather disjointed; if Jun Qianqian hadn't asked him anything, they probably wouldn't have exchanged a single word.
“Uh, I am listening.” Mo Ming forced a smile as he looked at the outfit Jun Qianqian was trying on, appearing quite serious. After observing for a while, he finally said, “The collar is indeed a bit wide, but it's this year's trendy style. Overall, this outfit looks good.”
“Your ability to lie is quite impressive; you managed to say it without any flaws. So tell me, expert Mo, how did you figure out that this outfit is this year's trendy style?” Jun Qianqian didn't believe Mo Ming's words at all.
Mo Ming shrugged and smiled, “I wouldn't dare call myself an expert, but as long as you're not an idiot, you should be able to guess. Just look around you; how many women are wearing collars like this?”
Upon hearing this, Jun Qianqian immediately glanced around and indeed noticed that many women were wearing outfits with similar collars. Her small face showed a hint of surprise as she remarked appreciatively, “Wow, you do have quite an eye for observation. But I don't like this kind of collar.”
After saying that, Jun Qianqian turned and went back to the fitting room.
“Phew.” Mo Ming let out a bitter laugh and sighed. He had been observing the people around him earlier to prevent any of the Four-Faced Buddha's people from blending in. Naturally, he paid attention to those details.
Fortunately, he noticed; otherwise, Jun Qianqian would have kept pestering him.
“Let's go look at evening gowns. You can't wear casual clothes to General Abraham's granddaughter's birthday party; otherwise, they'll think you don't respect them.”
Jun Qianqian walked out of the fitting room and casually tossed the clothes aside before heading toward the door. Mo Ming glanced at his own outfit—a somewhat tight-fitting sportswear—and then hurriedly picked up several bags to follow her.
After visiting several evening gown shops, Jun Qianqian finally found a suitable gown and also helped Mo Ming pick one out. As for clothing, Mo Ming didn't have much preference and easily made the purchase.
Jun Qianqian was somewhat considerate of Mo Ming. After buying the dress, she suggested they grab a bite to eat and take a break. Mo Ming had no objections; he never felt tired in his daily life, but accompanying a woman shopping was particularly exhausting!
They found a dim sum restaurant where Jun Qianqian ordered several dishes.
“Hey, Mo Ming, you usually act silly, so why are you so quiet today? What are you really thinking about?”
“I’m not thinking about much. It’s just that the current situation isn’t great. I’m worried about being plotted against. Better to be cautious; it’s always safer that way,” Mo Ming replied, shaking his head.
“Hehe…” Jun Qianqian didn’t seem too worried and smiled, “I never expected you to be scared, Mo Ming. When you offended Sito Hai back then, why didn’t you say you were afraid?”
“What’s there to be afraid of with Sito Hai? He’s just an incompetent person who knows nothing but indulging in pleasures. Besides, I’ve been on the brink of death countless times and have never been afraid,” Mo Ming said, shaking his head while staring intently at Jun Qianqian. “I’m only concerned for your safety, that’s all.”
Hearing Mo Ming's words made Jun Qianqian's cheeks flush with warmth, and her heart swelled with sweetness. No matter what his reasons were for worrying about her, she felt an overwhelming sense of happiness.
The care from a loved one always warms a woman's heart. Even though Jun Qianqian appeared strong, she was still a woman at heart, especially one with a youthful mindset.
The fact that she expected Mo Ming to take responsibility after their first kiss showed just how innocent she truly was, resembling an elegant lady from ancient times in terms of her thoughts. Of course, when it came to her behavior… she could be quite fierce.
“Hmm, Mo Ming, I want to ask you something.”
“Go ahead and ask,” Mo Ming said as he took a big gulp of water from the table.
“You…” Jun Qianqian bit her lip hesitantly. Her willow-like brows furrowed before she finally spoke up. “Have you accepted Sister Murong? Don’t lie to me; I want to hear the truth.”
“Hmm?” Mo Ming was taken aback and nodded. “Yes.”
Even though she had already guessed the answer, hearing it from Mo Ming made Jun Qianqian grip her legs tightly with her delicate hands. A slight frown appeared on her face as if she felt somewhat uncomfortable.
After a long silence from Jun Qianqian, Mo Ming glanced at her and noticed something was off with her expression. He realized it was due to their previous topic and chose not to speak further to avoid unnecessary awkwardness; sometimes silence is the best solution.
As for Jun Qianqian, Mo Ming still wasn’t ready to accept her feelings. Regardless of whether he was being heartless or not, he simply didn’t want to be frivolous. Since he didn’t have any feelings for Jun Qianqian at the moment, he naturally didn’t want to ruin her life casually.
Mo Ming originally thought that this silence would last a long time. He occasionally glanced at Jun Qianqian's changing expressions, pondering how to start a new topic. However, after thinking it over, Mo Ming decided that remaining silent was the better option.
“Bastard Mo Ming.”
Mo Ming stared in shock at Jun Qianqian, who had suddenly spoken. At that moment, there was even a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth.
Confused by Jun Qianqian's sudden change, Mo Ming didn't understand what she was trying to do but still replied, “Miss Jun, do you have any instructions?”
“I have no instructions; I just realized something a moment ago.” Jun Qianqian said seriously, “I know you have feelings for Sister Murong; otherwise, you wouldn't have accepted her. I have nothing to blame you for.”
Mo Ming awkwardly smiled and said, “Yes, yes, yes.”
“But I am very sad!” Jun Qianqian's tone shifted, carrying a hint of melancholy.
Mo Ming's smile abruptly faded.
Seeing the change in Mo Ming's expression, Jun Qianqian cheerfully said, “But Mo Ming, your acceptance of Sister Murong gives me hope. Since Sister Murong can be the third party, then I can be the fourth; I don't mind!”
“…” Mo Ming nearly spat out blood. He thought Jun Qianqian had come to some understanding, but it turned out she was still caught in this circle. Sometimes Mo Ming really wanted to dig into Jun Qianqian's brain to see what was going on in there. What kind of thoughts could a good girl like her possibly have?
