Translator: MoboReader Editor: MoboReader

Su Ruowan received a call early in the morning, telling her that she didn’t need to work today. So she took Jiu Jiu to the supermarket. 

Like any other children, Jiu Jiu liked going to the supermarket too. What she loved the most was to sit in the cart. Every time she pointed her favorite snacks with her pink fingers, Su Ruowan would push her over. Then she would stand up and put the snacks in the cart. 

It was just a pity that she could only get this opportunity once a month. Because Su Ruowan told her that if she ate too many snacks, she would become fat. She wouldn’t be able to wear beautiful dresses. 

“Mommy, prawn crackers!” Jiu Jiu pointed at the entire row of prawn crackers, excitedly kicking her two thin legs in the cart. 

Su Ruowan pushed the shopping cart over. Jiu Jiu raised her feet, took a bag of prawn crackers, and put it in the cart. Then she took another one. When she was about to take the third one, Su Ruowan made a sound. Left with no choice, she had to put the third bag back, pouting. 

‘Humph! Every time we go grocery shopping, my annoying mommy only allows me to buy two bags of this. When can I eat unlimited prawn crackers?’ Jiu Jiu was obviously unhappy. 

“Shrimp balls!” When they arrived at the frozen food section, she pointed at the preserved shrimp balls and screamed. 

Su Ruowan picked up a bag of shrimp balls and put it in the cart. She finally smiled with satisfaction. 

Jiu Jiu liked seafood since she was a child, just like that man. Su Ruowan shook her head. 

After purchasing a large bag of ingredients, she came out of the supermarket with the shopping bag in one hand and holding Jiu Jiu’s hand in the other. 

At this time, the giant screen right across them showed Jing Muchen and Zhang Luoya’s engagement ceremony. 

“Mommy, look! It’s Yan Yan!” Jiu Jiu exclaimed as she pointed at the screen with a lollipop in her hand. 

When Su Ruowan looked at the screen, she saw Jing Yanxi in a black suit and a white shirt. His hair was smeared with hair gel and combed into a stunning hairstyle. With beautiful and exquisite facial features, he looked like a handsome little gentleman. 

The next moment, Jing Muchen in a black tuxedo appeared on the screen. He looked so noble and elegant. Beside him stood Zhang Luoya in a white dress. They stood facing each other and exchanged engagement rings. 

The spotlight kept flashing on them. Zhang Fuhu, Dacheng Company’s CEO, also smiled happily. He held the microphone and said, “Today is the engagement ceremony of my daughter, Zhang Luoya, and the young master of Jing Yang Group, Jing Muchen. I’m very happy. I hope everyone can enjoy a good meal. Let’s drink and celebrate together!”

Su Ruowan was stunned. Jing Muchen… He was now engaged. 

Her phone rang, and it was an alert from WeChat. She let go of Jiu Jiu’s hand and took it out. Jing Yanxi sent her a message, “Wan Wan, what are you doing with Jiu Jiu? I’m so bored.”

She replied, “Yan Yan, Jiu Jiu and I are in the supermarket right now.” After a while, she added, “We are watching you on TV.”

Soon, Jing Yanxi sent her a voice message. “Uncle Muchen is engaged. My great-grandpa, grandpa, grandma, dad, and aunt are also here. There are many other guests too. But I don’t like Uncle Muchen’s future wife.”

Uncle Muchen? Su Ruowan frowned. Why did Jing Yanxi call Jing Muchen uncle? He… He was Jing Muchen’s son. 

When the bus arrived, Su Ruowan got into it and sat with Jiu Jiu in her arms. Through the window, she saw Jing Muchen’s handsome face appeared on the screen again. 

He stood next to Zhang Luoya. With their black and white outfits, they looked perfect for each other. 

She couldn’t help but sigh secretly. 

After the engagement ceremony, all the reporters finally left. Only the friends and relatives of both families stayed and greeted each other. 

Li Muchen walked up to Jing Muchen and clinked glasses with him. “Congratulations!”

With a faint smile on his lips, Jing Muchen raised his glass and took a sip. 

Zhang Luoya smiled shyly. “Thank you, brother.”

Jing Yanxi, who was being held by Li Muchen, rolled his eyes in a fit of pique. ‘Ugly woman! I won’t call you Auntie!’ he thought. 

Li Muchen drank up his wine and said, “I’m going on a business trip in Singapore. Can you please take care of Yan Yan for a few days? He likes sticking with you, anyway. Luoya, you won’t blame me for breaking your romantic moment, right?”

Zhang Luoya waved her hand and said timidly, “Of course not. How can that be? I also like Yan Yan so much.”

Li Muchen patted Jing Yanxi’s little head. “I may not be able to come back in time for your sports meeting next week. Let Uncle Muchen go with you, okay?”

Jing Yanxi said listlessly, “Okay. We won’t win the first place even if you come anyway.”

Li Muchen smiled helplessly. 

He patted Jing Yanxi’s head again, put the goblet on the table, and turned around. He said goodbye to Old Mr. Jing and other elders and left. 

“Boss!”

Han Zhen, Lu Ziheng, Shangguan Yan, and the others snickered and came over with a glass of red wine in their hands. 

“Boss, now that you’re engaged, I want to wish you a long and happy life.”

As soon as Shangguan Yan finished his words, Han Zhen rolled his eyes at him. “Shangguan, you should say that at the wedding ceremony.”

Shangguan Yan just blinked his eyes innocently. 

Zhang Luoya’s face turned pale. 

These men were all famous figures in D City and they were Jing Muchen’s best friends. They grew up together. Why did she feel like they had ill intentions? 

Her palms sweated secretly. 

“Hello, Uncle Han, Uncle Lu, Uncle Yu, Uncle Yan, Uncle Qi, and Brother Shangguan,” Jing Yanxi greeted them one by one in a sweet voice. 

Qi Chenghao put his glass aside, picked up the little boy, and asked, “Yan Yan, why do you call us uncles but Shangguan brother?”

Han Zhen smiled sarcastically. “Little Rat, you look so old. Don’t you feel ashamed asking Yan Yan to call you brother?”

Qi Chenghao’s gentle face stiffened. He whispered something in Jin Yanxi’s ear and said loudly, “Yan Yan, call me again.”

Jing Yanxi shouted, “Uncle Qi asked me to call him Brother Qi, then he will buy me the latest MacBook!”

Everyone burst into laughter. Qi Chenghao was betrayed..
