Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 323 - 312: Getting Ready for Marriage

"Sure." Jin Jumo said, "So where should we meet?"

"I’m fine with anything, you decide." Gao Qi said, his voice barely containing his excitement.

Jin Jumo thought for a moment, "There’s a tea restaurant near me; it’s not crowded during the day, quite quiet."

"Let’s meet there, I’ll head over right away." Gao Qi replied.

Jin Jumo hung up and sent the address to Gao Qi via text message.

Watching the text message send, Jin Jumo glimpsed the time on the screen; it was almost noon, nearly twelve o’clock.

Covering her heavy eyelids with the back of her hand, Jin Jumo thought gloomily, if it weren’t for Gao Qi’s call, she wasn’t sure when she would have woken up.

At the tea restaurant, Li Li hesitated for a long time before finally gathering the courage to look at Rong Zhengfeng, who sat motionless across from him, and said, "Old Master, do you think we can go back now? Lunch is probably ready at the old house."

Rong Zhengfeng listlessly lifted his eyelids, not speaking for a long time.

Li Li sighed inwardly, "Old Master, the young masters are still young, and having heirs is just a matter of time, you should ease your mind."

Rong Zhengfeng glanced at him, surprisingly said nothing, picked up the cane leaning against the wall, and slowly stood up.

Li Li hurried to help him, only to watch in surprise as the old man sat back down again suddenly.

"Don’t move!" Li Li, puzzled, stood at attention, watching Rong Zhengfeng.

Rong Zhengfeng slightly turned his face towards the window, one hand posed on his ear, but his eyes darted in the opposite direction.

Li Li, utterly baffled, stood straight, not daring to move.

"Momo, I’m here." A loud male voice sounded from behind, raising Li Li’s eyebrows, causing him to stand even straighter.

"Have you been here long?" Jin Jumo apologized as she sat opposite Gao Qi.

"No, just a little before you arrived." Gao Qi said with a goofy smile.

Rong Zhengfeng’s eyes lit up, he gestured for Li Li to sit down.

Li Li quickly sat, leaning back on the sofa, his ears perked up.

The seating in the tea restaurant was all double short sofas, the backs quite high, making Li Li visible only by the top of his head from behind.

"Momo, what would you like to drink?" Gao Qi asked nervously, his eyes trembling as he looked at Jin Jumo.

Jin Jumo gave him a strange look, "No need, plain water is fine for me."

"...Oh." Gao Qi licked his lips.

"Is this the script for your upcoming play?" Jin Jumo glanced at the script on the table in front of him.

"Oh, yes." Gao Qi picked it up and handed it to her.

Jin Jumo accepted it, spread it open on the table, and browsed through it.

Gao Qi stared intently at Jin Jumo’s lowered eyelashes, thinking how long and curly they were, like butterflies fluttering directly to his heart.

Clenching his fingers tight, Gao Qi took a deep breath, gathering immense courage, and asked Jin Jumo, "Momo, do you have a boyfriend?"

"..." Jin Jumo was slightly stunned, then looked up at Gao Qi.

Gao Qi’s face flushed red, his eyes fervent and careful.

Jin Jumo squinted slightly and nodded, "Yes."

Gao Qi’s lips went suddenly pale, his once bright eyes dimmed quickly.

Seeing him fall silent, Jin Jumo said nothing further and returned to the script.

Gao Qi, watching Jin Jumo in sadness, restrained his melancholy and asked softly, "Is it Brother Ying?"

Hearing him mention Ying Jingyao, Jin Jumo’s eyes flickered lightly, she shook her head, "No, it’s not him."

Not?

Gao Qi was surprised, but soon felt inexplicably reassured.

As long as it’s not Ying Jingyao, his strength was too formidable; Gao Qi doubted he could compete with him.

But with another man, it might be different.

Thinking this, Gao Qi’s fighting spirit surged, his face regaining a smile, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Jin Jumo.

Jin Jumo noticed, frowning slightly, she said, "I have a very good relationship with my boyfriend, we’re planning to get married, and I’ll invite you to the wedding."

Married?

Gao Qi’s eyes widened, it was like ten thousand arrows had pierced his heart, clenching his fists tightly, he suddenly looked at Jin Jumo with emotion, "How can that be, you two can’t get married!"

Jin Jumo raised her eyebrows, amused, and looked at Gao Qi, "Why can’t we get married?"

Gao Qi was momentarily speechless, but his face was evidently full of urgency, "Momo, you’re still young, late marriage and late childbirth is trendy now, getting married now is too early. Besides, you’re currently at a rising point in your career, marriage will affect your future development, you should think twice, be cautious!"

Jin Jumo looked at Gao Qi’s bright face, her peach blossom eyes reflecting a gentle smile, "There’s no comparison."

No comparison?

Gao Qi was perplexed.

Jin Jumo raised an eyebrow, lowered her gaze, and leisurely flipped through the script on the table. After a long pause, her soft and gentle voice slowly came, "If I have to choose between my career and him, I’d choose him without hesitation."

Gao Qi’s eyes widened in shock, unwillingly asking, "Do you love him that much?"

Jin Jumo’s glistening peach blossom eyes moved slightly, but she said nothing.

Only she knew the answer in her heart.

After learning that Jin Jumo not only had a boyfriend but was also planning to get married, and it had to be him, Gao Qi had clearly lost all enthusiasm for discussing the script. His gaze at Jin Jumo was pitying yet unwilling, with a hint of annoyance.

Jin Jumo asked him a few questions about the script, and Gao Qi gave her the same answer each time: "You figure it out!"

Jin Jumo’s head was filled with black lines at his responses!

Seeing that he really wasn’t in the mood to continue discussing the script, Jin Jumo closed the script, looked at the irritated and gloomy Gao Qi, and said, "I don’t fully understand the script now. How about I read it thoroughly when I get back and then find time to discuss it with you?"

Gao Qi glanced at Jin Jumo weakly, nodding his head.

Jin Jumo pursed her lips and said, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."

Gao Qi stared at Jin Jumo, not wanting to let her go just like that, but unable to find a reason, he sulkily said, "Okay." After a pause, he added, "Contact me as soon as you’ve finished reading the script."

"Alright." Jin Jumo nodded, stood up with the script, and was about to leave her seat at the tea restaurant when her gaze met Rong Zhengfeng’s, who was only separated from her by a table. Jin Jumo was completely caught off-guard seeing Rong Zhengfeng here again, and she was stunned.

Rong Zhengfeng stared seriously at Jin Jumo, clearly looking at her as if she was "guilty"!

Jin Jumo took a light breath, standing in place, unsure whether to approach or just walk away.

Seeing this, Rong Zhengfeng glared at Jin Jumo with a stern face.

Jin Jumo’s lips twitched slightly, and out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Gao Qi looking at her curiously.

Blinking a few times, Jin Jumo simply walked toward the tea restaurant’s door with the script in her arms.

Rong Zhengfeng, "..." His breath caught in his throat, she dared to just leave like that? Outrageous!

Li Li saw Rong Zhengfeng’s face turning red, struggling to catch his breath, and quickly said, "Old Master, calm down, you must calm down!"

"I can’t calm down!" Rong Zhengfeng yelled!

"Grandpa Rong..."

Gao Qi was about to leave when he heard the shouting from behind, startling him and making him turn back curiously. Seeing Rong Zhengfeng’s still angry face, he was stunned.

With a completely bewildered expression, he looked at Rong Zhengfeng.

Because of Tang Ruan, Gao Qi was familiar with the Rong family, so he recognized Rong Zhengfeng at a glance.

"Hmph!" Rong Zhengfeng gave Gao Qi no friendly look, maintaining a cold face as he glared at him.

Gao Qi, "..." With an innocent expression!

Standing dumbfounded, staring at Rong Zhengfeng for a while, seeing that Rong Zhengfeng continued to show no friendly face, Gao Qi awkwardly scratched his head and left the tea restaurant looking utterly puzzled.

Rong Zhengfeng grumpily stared at Gao Qi’s back, "He doesn’t even compare to a single hair of my family’s second son, yet he dares to compete with him for a woman, truly ignorant of his own limits!"

"..." Li Li was at a loss to decide whether to laugh or cry! Overprotective to such an extent, indeed!

Jin Jumo stood at the corner of the tea restaurant, watching Gao Qi drive away before she emerged and returned to the restaurant.

Seeing Jin Jumo reappear in the restaurant, Rong Zhengfeng’s eyes almost popped out.

Li Li heaved a sigh of relief, quickly making room for Jin Jumo, and then went outside to get some fresh air.

Jin Jumo sat opposite Rong Zhengfeng with a slight sigh, and no sooner did her backside touch the sofa than Rong Zhengfeng sternly reprimanded, "Did I tell you to sit?"

Jin Jumo’s body stiffened, looking at Rong Zhengfeng with innocent eyes.

Rong Zhengfeng squinted his eyes, "Stop pretending to be innocent with me!"

Uh...

Jin Jumo lightly pressed her lips together and stood up, placing her hands gently at her abdomen, trying to lower her posture in front of the elder, with a sincere and obedient appearance asking for guidance.

Seeing this, the anger on Rong Zhengfeng’s face indeed subsided quite a bit, frowning as he said, "Sit down."

"I’m fine standing," Jin Jumo said.

"..." Rong Zhengfeng’s just-calmed-down anger was instantly stirred up by her words again, "If you want to stand, don’t stand in front of me, go out!"

Without hesitation, Jin Jumo immediately sat down.

Rong Zhengfeng’s expression changed, looking at Jin Jumo as if she were an oddity, momentarily forgetting what to say.
