Chapter 596 Continuous Rejection
Enjing smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. She looked at Xu Mo, who was eating quietly, as if he hadn't noticed the conversation. Enjing had mixed feelings in her heart. She understood Xu Mo's emotional boundaries for her, but she couldn't help but imagine how great it would be if Xu Mo was her lover.
At this time, Enjing's mother suddenly had an idea and suggested: "Eunjing, didn't you mention last time that you have a very good partner? Mom remembers that you said that he is smart, capable and takes good care of you. Why don't you invite him? He came to sit at home and let his parents take a look and give us some advice.”
Enjing was stunned for a moment, looking at her mother's eager eyes. She hesitated for a few seconds, and then looked at Xu Mo. Xu Mo felt Enjing's gaze and raised his eyes to meet hers. He put down his chopsticks, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Eunjing, if you need my help, I'm happy to do it."
Eunjing breathed a sigh of relief when she received Xu Mo's affirmative answer. She responded gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Xu Mo. Please act in a play with me, act as my boyfriend for the time being, and help me deal with my parents."
Xu Mo smiled slightly and seemed not to mind this unexpected situation. Instead, he said with interest: "Don't worry, Enjing, I will do my best to cooperate."
So, with the expectations of Enjing's parents, Xu Mo appeared at home as Eunjing's boyfriend. He behaves elegantly, speaks well, and is considerate to Eun-jeong, perfectly interpreting the image of an ideal boyfriend. Eunjing's parents saw this and were delighted, praising Xu Mo profusely.
However, with the passage of time, Enjing found that her feelings for Xu Mo seemed to have quietly changed during the fake show. And whether Xu Mo has also fallen into this kind of emotional entanglement, or whether he still maintains that sense and distance, all this has become an unsolved mystery hanging in Enjing's heart.
Eunjing's parents are increasingly satisfied with Xu Mo, and they have mentioned many times in private that they hope to drink their daughter's wedding wine as soon as possible. Faced with her parents' expectations and her own increasingly complicated emotions, Enjing could only secretly pray that this temporary "love" game could end smoothly without hurting anyone. Xu Mo's inner world is also undergoing subtle changes at this moment. Will he choose to break the original boundaries and bravely accept this true emotion?
After dinner, Enjing and Xu Mo were sitting on the sofa in the living room. Enjing mustered up her courage and asked softly: "Brother Xu Mo, do you think if we continue like this... it's a bit too much?"
Xu Mo turned to look at Enjing, his deep eyes showing an indescribable emotion, and he slowly said: "Enjing, everything between us is to help you cope with your parents' pressure to get married. But I must admit that this time together has given me a deeper understanding and appreciation of you. As for the future, I think we need time to think and make decisions.”
Enjing looked at Xu Mo, her heart beating faster. She knew that this relationship was about to usher in a new turning point, and no one could predict how this turning point would affect their future.
After Enjing dealt with the competition with the island country's food company and successfully entered the specialty food supply chain field, her life ushered in a new episode. On this day, Enjing received an invitation letter to a high school class reunion. Although she was looking forward to this gathering but also a little nervous, Enjing knew that her classmates would be curious about her personal life, especially her relationship status.
Therefore, Enjing found Xu Mo again, showing a hint of shyness and hesitation, and made a special request to him: "Brother Xu Mo, I received an invitation to a high school reunion. You know, they will definitely ask me if I have a boyfriend. You helped me deal with my parents last time. Can you help me again this time and pretend to be my boyfriend to attend this party?”
Xu Mo heard the words and thought for a moment. He looked at the nervousness and expectation flashing in Enjing's eyes and smiled gently: "Enjing, do you really think it is necessary to do this? However, since you have spoken, I will naturally Help you.”
On the day of the party, Enjing dressed up carefully and walked into the hotel banquet hall with Xu Mo, who was wearing a crisp suit on her arm. As soon as he entered the venue, Enjing's former classmates all cast surprised and envious glances. Xu Mo quickly won the favor of Enjing's classmates with his outstanding temperament and self-cultivation.
At the dining table, Enjing's classmates had a heated discussion around the topic of Enjing and Xu Mo. People kept praising Xu Mo's talent and maturity. Listening to these compliments, Enjing glanced at Xu Mo, who was calm and composed beside her, and felt an inexplicable sense of pride in her heart.
A former friend joked: "Eunjing, you really have a hidden treasure. Why have you never mentioned such an excellent boyfriend before?"
Enjing glanced at Xu Mo pretending to be coquettish, and responded: "Oh, you all know that I am a low-key person. Besides, Xu Mo is my work partner, and I don't want to bring my personal life to work."
Xu Mo answered the question at the right time. He raised the red wine glass in his hand and greeted everyone: "Dear classmates, thank you for your concern and love for Eunjing. Eunjing and I are not only partners in work, but also friends in life. We We will support each other and make progress together.”
The atmosphere of the party became more harmonious under the guidance of Xu Mo. Enjing also took this opportunity to show her independent and confident side, as well as the tacit understanding between her and Xu Mo that went beyond ordinary friendship. As the party came to an end, Enjing ran into her high school crush at the bathroom door. The other person looked at Xu Mo next to Enjing, with a trace of loneliness on his face.
The crush politely said to Eunjing: "Eunjing, it seems that you are doing well now. This is your boyfriend, he is really good."
Eun Jung responded calmly: "Thank you for your blessing. Xu Mo is indeed a very good friend and partner. We have both found our own direction in life and way of happiness."
Just as the atmosphere of the party reached its climax, Enjing and Xu Mo were easily responding to the teasing and blessings of their classmates, suddenly, a sharp voice broke the harmonious atmosphere: "Hey, isn't this Eunjing? I remember when I was in school Your grades are average, but I didn’t expect that you are doing well now, and you even found a boyfriend who is so stylish.” The person who spoke was Enjing’s former classmate, Lin Haoran, a person who always likes to show off his family background and belittle others. .
Lin Haoran walked towards Enjing and Xu Mo, looked Xu Mo up and down, and said with a bit of provocation: "I mean Xu Mo, right? He does look like a human being, but these days the packaging technology is superb, who knows the details What? Eunjing, don’t be fooled by appearances.”
Enjing frowned, dissatisfied with Lin Haoran's rudeness, but she remained calm and responded: "Lin Haoran, everyone has their own lifestyle and choices. Brother Xu Mo and I came together based on mutual respect and trust. . I know his character and abilities better than anyone else, and I don’t need you to point them out here.”
Xu Mo's face was calm, and he spoke politely but dignifiedly: "Lin Haoran, the relationship between me and Eunjing is a matter between the two of us, and it is not your turn to comment. The 'Fusion House' we run always insists on quality first. , service first, this is me too The basis for our foothold in the industry. Similarly, when it comes to friendship and love, we also adhere to sincerity and respect. If you just want to find trouble at this party, then I advise you to save your energy and enjoy this party." br>
Lin Haoran was speechless by Xu Mo's words. The classmates around him also expressed their dissatisfaction with Lin Haoran's behavior, and the atmosphere of the party returned to joy and intimacy. Enjing glanced at Xu Mo gratefully. He not only deftly resolved the embarrassment, but also effectively maintained her dignity.
After the party, Enjing held Xu Mo's hand and said gratefully: "Brother Xu Mo, thank you for helping me out today and helping me earn face in front of my classmates."
Xu Mo smiled gently and patted the back of Enjing's hand gently: "Enjing, we are partners fighting side by side, your business is my business. Moreover, I am willing to resist all troubles for you. Remember, No matter when and where we are, we must believe in ourselves and move forward firmly.”
The two smiled at each other and toasted together again. Enjing's admiration and dependence on Xu Mo deepened in her heart, and Xu Mo proved his reliability as a friend and partner with practical actions.
Neon lights flashed on the streets at night. Enjing and Xu Mo walked out of the party and blended into the night of the bustling city. The two walked on the street, reminiscing about the happy time at the party, and Eun-jeong was in a particularly relaxed and happy mood.
A black luxury car stopped quietly not far behind them. The window was lowered, and a greasy face appeared in the window, staring at Eun Jing greedily. The man claimed to be a powerful local boss and unabashedly expressed his coveting of Eun Jung's beauty, and even arrogantly proposed to take Eun Jung to a high-end party.
Enjing's face darkened, and she coldly rejected the other party's unreasonable request. However, the man did not give up. Instead, he threatened Eun-jeong that if he did not comply, he would bring trouble to the "Fusion House".
The crisis came instantly, and Enjing instinctively leaned towards Xu Mo beside her, feeling his solidity and stability. A cold light flashed in Xu Mo's eyes. He stepped forward to block Enjing and responded firmly: "I'm sorry, Miss Enjing can't go with you. We have our own principles and bottom lines."
When the boss saw this, his expression suddenly changed, he became angry and ordered his men to step forward and try to take action forcefully. However, Xu Mo's figure was strong and strong. After a few rounds, he was able to subdue those with evil intentions to the ground. As the crowd of onlookers grew, someone called the police, who quickly arrived at the scene and brought the situation under control.
After resolving this sudden crisis, Enjing held Xu Mo's hand tightly and looked at him gratefully and worriedly: "Brother Xu Mo, are you okay?"
Xu Mo shook his head with a smile and patted his chest, looking relaxed and relaxed: "Don't worry, Enjing, I am more than enough to deal with this kind of person. However, it seems that our life is not as simple as cooking in a restaurant. There are Sometimes you need to deal with these unexpected seasonings. ”
Enjing smiled bitterly and sighed deeply: "Yes, life is like this, there will always be all kinds of unexpected things happening. But fortunately, you are by my side, which makes me feel very at ease."
Xu Mo replied meaningfully: "Eunjing, no matter what difficulties you face, I will stand by your side and protect your safety. Because we are not only partners, but also trustworthy friends."
The moonlight shone on the two of them. Enjing looked up at Xu Mo's resolute and gentle face, and felt a warm current in her heart. She knows that this man not only protects her at critical moments, but also silently supports her in life and accompanies her growth.
The two continued to walk home, and tonight's experience undoubtedly deepened the tacit understanding and trust between them. Enjing secretly decided that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, she would go on with Xu Mo.
Early the next morning, Enjing was still worried about the unexpected incident last night, but Xu Mo suggested: "Eunjing, after experiencing so many things, I think we should put down our work temporarily and go traveling together to relax. For a change of environment, Maybe it can help us see our own hearts better.”
Enjing looked at Xu Mo, with a hint of surprise and hesitation in her eyes, "But we are now at an important stage of career development, and will the big boss take revenge on us because of what happened last night?"
Xu Mo smiled slightly and said firmly: "Enjing, life is not just about work, proper rest is to go further. As for the big boss, I have taken precautions and I believe he will not dare to do anything easily in a short time. . Moreover, we can also take this opportunity to further enhance our friendship and get to know each other better.”
Enjing thought for a moment and nodded, "You're right, let's go traveling together. Where should we go?"
"Remember Jeju Island you mentioned? The scenery there is beautiful, suitable for relaxing and avoiding unnecessary disturbances." Xu Mo suggested.
Enjing's eyes lit up and she readily agreed, "Okay, let's go to Jeju Island!"
So Eun Jung and Xu Mo embarked on a journey to Jeju Island. The moment the plane took off, Enjing breathed a deep sigh of relief. Looking at the shrinking city outside the window, her heart was filled with expectations for a new life and a deeper trust in Xu Mo.
After arriving in Jeju Island, they rented a convertible sports car and drove along the coastline, feeling the freedom and comfort of the sea breeze. They played at the beach, tasted local food, and experienced folk culture. Every moment was full of laughter and touching.
One night, when they were having a barbecue at the beach, Enjing said to Xu Mo through her drunkenness: "Brother Xu Mo, do you know? Without you, I might not be able to persist until now. Your existence means a lot to me. , is like a bright light, illuminating my way forward.”
Xu Mo stared at Enjing by the campfire, with a warm light shining in his eyes. He picked up a bottle of beer and gently touched the cup in Enjing's hand, "Enjing, I am also very lucky to have you by my side. We have experienced ups and downs together and shared joy together, this is the most precious thing." (End of Chapter)
