Chapter 429: Ji Buwang, You’re Courting Death!

The boss had a complicated expression on her face. She glanced at the two of them with a very subtle gaze and left. Perhaps she hadn’t expected Ji Buwang to be a gigolo.

Ji Buwang looked at Mu Jingzhe and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Did you see the boss’ gaze? Why did you lie to her?” She had even said he was only in his early twenties.

“Then why didn’t you correct me?”

“Because you said that I’m the stepfather you found for your children. That part is right.” Ji Buwang quietly held Mu Jingzhe’s hand.

When they returned home, Ji Buwang kept peeling pomegranates for Mu Jingzhe to eat. He filled an entire bowl with them. “You don’t have to do it. I’ll peel them for you.”

As he peeled, Mu Jingzhe grabbed some pomegranate and fed him from time to time. “Delicious. So sweet…”

“Then eat more. I’ll peel more for you after you finish these.”

Not only did Ji Buwang peel pomegranates for Mu Jingzhe, but he also didn’t mind taking the pomegranate seeds she spat out. “Don’t swallow them.”

“I can do it myself.” Mu Jingzhe was embarrassed. “You don’t mind?”

“Mind what?” Ji Buwang stretched out his hand seriously. “Why would I? Jingzhe, spit them out.”

Mu Jingzhe looked at Ji Buwang’s expression and covered her face. No, no, her heart had been completely conquered.

How could there be such a wonderful and cute person in this world?

She spat out the pomegranate seeds herself but held Ji Buwang’s hand, which was about to be retracted. “Since you’re sticking out your hand, I’ll give you something.”

“What is it?”

“Close your eyes and don’t peek.”

Ji Buwang cooperatively closed his eyes, and Mu Jingzhe drew a heart on his palm.

Ji Buwang felt his palm itch, but what surprised him even more was the heart Mu Jingzhe had drawn. “Did you guess what it is?”

“I did.” Ji Buwang opened his eyes, which were shining like stars. “It’s your heart.”

“Mm, it’s my heart indeed.” Mu Jingzhe closed his palm. “So you have to take good care of it.”

Ji Buwang looked at Mu Jingzhe and couldn’t help but reach out to hug her. “Jingzhe, why are you so wonderful?”

Mu Jingzhe chuckled. “You just found out? Let me give you a few more.”

After saying that, she made all sorts of heart shapes that she had seen in the modern ages.

Ji Buwang laughed. Then, he thought of something and clumsily gestured back at her, making shapes one by one. “I’ll give you all of mine too.”

After saying that, he took Mu Jingzhe’s hand and drew a heart on it.

Mu Jingzhe ate them solemnly and swallowed them. “Alright, I ate them.”

Ji Buwang smiled again. This was the first time he realized that Jingzhe had such a side.

In the past, whenever she was with the children, although her education methods were different from those of other parents and her thoughts were out-of-the-box at times, most of the time, she was steady and serious, especially when she worked.

He had seen her angry, sad, proud, and happy, but he had never seen her wheedle and be as funny and cute as this.

“Jingzhe, you’re the best.” Ji Buwang pulled Mu Jingzhe into his embrace again.

It was only then that Mu Jingzhe realized that Ji Buwang quite liked to hug people and he was even smug about praising her.

“I’m impressive, aren’t I?” Although she had been narcissistic many times and had never dated in her two lifetimes, she refused to admit defeat. She was actually very good at dating and not at all inferior to anyone in this aspect.

She was a love genius who had studied many idol dramas, which was why Ji Buwang was so happy.

Ji Buwang didn’t understand what Mu Jingzhe meant at first. “What’s impressive about you?”

“Aren’t you very fond of me? That’s why I’m impressive.”

“Yes, I’m very, very fond of you indeed,” Ji Buwang admitted.

“I can be even more impressive.” Mu Jingzhe sat up straight.

Ji Buwang was curious. “How?”

Before he even finished speaking, Mu Jingzhe suddenly leaned over and kissed his face. “Like this.”

Ji Buwang: “…”

His heart pounded, and all he could think of was, ‘So soft… So her kisses are that soft?’

Mu Jingzhe was initially a little shy and only turned around after a moment. In the end, she saw the dazed Ji Buwang looking like a stunned goose and couldn’t help but wave her hand in front of him. “Ji Buwang, what’s wrong? Are you overjoyed?”

“Yes, but you were too fast…” The kiss had been too brief and the action too fast. It was over before he could even feel it.

Mu Jingzhe understood and thought of an inappropriate advertisement: ‘Has it started? It’s already over.’

She made a spitting sound. It was really a sin to think of that at such a time.

Seeing Ji Buwang’s blushing face, Mu Jingzhe moved faster than her mind could think. She leaned forward and kissed him again. This time, it lasted longer and she even made a sound.

“Did you feel it this time?”

“Yes.” It had felt very soft… Ji Buwang’s gaze involuntarily landed on Mu Jingzhe’s lips. He wanted to…

When she saw Ji Buwang slowly approach, Mu Jingzhe’s mind went blank. She suddenly closed her eyes, feeling her heart about to jump out of her chest.

At that moment, Mu Han’s furious voice suddenly rang in his ears. “Ji Buwang, you must have a death wish!”

Then… chaos ensued.

Mu Han, who had seen the up-to-no-good Ji Buwang, flew into a rage. “This is my house. You two aren’t even married yet. How dare you!”

Later on, Ji Buwang was thrown out after being hit with two pomegranates. That was probably the most embarrassing moment of his life. Though Mu Han was no match for him in terms of skill, this wasn’t a matter of skill.

Mu Han was his brother-in-law, so how could he dare retaliate?

Ji Buwang was chased away, and Mu Jingzhe was also taught a lesson by Mu Han. At that moment, the siblings’ positions had been reversed.

Mu Jingzhe silently retorted that it had been just a kiss and not much else, but she didn’t dare say it out loud.

Then, they couldn’t meet again the next day. The more they couldn’t meet, the more they missed each other. Fortunately, they were able to meet again on the third day. Ji Buwang also decided to go back with Mu Jingzhe.

Mu Jingzhe was very happy to see him after a day, but because she kept thinking about that unfinished kiss, she felt a little embarrassed.

Ji Buwang was also embarrassed, as not only did he think about it during the day, but he had even dreamed about it at night.

In the dream, he had gotten his wish. Then… If you’re a man, you might understand what followed. Even if you’re not a man, you probably still know. In short, they had done “it” in the dream. Now that he saw Mu Jingzhe, he felt a little shy.

After the two of them met, they walked side by side for a while before Ji Buwang pretended to be calm and took Mu Jingzhe’s hand in his.

“I’ll go back with you tomorrow.”

“Okay, but does Grandpa Ji agree?”

“Yeah. I brought Tang Moling back.” Ji Buwang explained that after Grandpa Ji had seen the progress between him and Jingzhe, he had expressed his support for him and said that his biggest mission now was to marry Jingzhe.

He hadn’t confessed it all to his grandfather yet, but his grandfather could tell at a glance after seeing his lovestruck expression.

Upon hearing Ji Buwang mention Tang Moling, Mu Jingzhe fell silent. In the novel, domineering CEO Tang Moling was still a domineering CEO. But now, with Ji Buwang and Old Master Ji above him, he seemed to have become a mere worker.

However, his working position was more handsome. Besides, he was working for himself.
