Chapter 28 - Love Rival

WHAT?!

Jing Bo Chuan's eyes went wide and he blinked hard several times to make sure that he didn't see wrongly.

F*CK! What kind of luck is this?! This woman came the moment Mo Xi and Jing Mo Chen started to date.

Once he was sure he didn't see wrongly, he swiftly turned to look at Mo Xi. Mo Xi had an incomprehensible expression on.

Mo Xi looked at the woman's eyes when she heard that the woman in front was Shen Yu Ning.

Seems like someone came for me as well.

Mo Xi noticed Jing Bo Chuan looking at her and she knew what Jing Bo Chuan was thinking.

"Mo Xi, why is the new teacher looking at you and smiling? Do you know her?" Huo Meng Li tugged Mo Xi's hand as she asked.

"No, I don't know her. Don't worry, it's fine. Lesson's going to start soon, look in front and listen to the class." Mo Xi comforted Huo Meng Li.

After listening to what Mo Xi said, Jing Bo Chuan was shocked, "Aren't you worried about this woman at all?"

"Why should I?"

"Didn't she come for you?"

"She did come for me, but why should I be concerned about this?"

"Aren't you worried that this woman would do something to you or like try to know you so that she can ruin your image in front of my grandparents? I have seen how she acted all nice in front of our grandparents, you haven't seen how much my family love her being all nice and gracious."

"Firstly, if she tried to do something to me, then I just have to fight back. Secondly, do you think my image can be easily ruined? Thirdly, you said that she acted. Acting will always be acting, while truthful actions will never be fake. Her acting will one day be exposed. Fourthly, I am gracious as well ok. Lastly, if she had already won over your family with her acting, why haven't you or your uncle been won over?"

"Yes! Yes! If she had won over your family, why haven't you been won over?" Huo Meng Li chimed in enthusiastically after hearing Jing Bo Chuan.

"Don' you know that children are more sensitive to how people truly are? I could tell whether she is really being nice or faking it. I tested her before to see whether she is a good match for my uncle, and I saw her veins popping when I purposely made her angry. There was once, two years ago I poured a cup of tea on her newly bought dress. She acted all nice and said, 'It's fine, it's just a dress', but you know what, her veins were popping when she walked off to the toilet. As for my uncle, ever since he met you, you were the only one in his mind and he doesn't have feelings for her in the first place, so naturally, he wouldn't be won over by that woman's acting."

"You finally admit that you are a child?" Mo Xi chuckled as she patted Jing Bo Chuan's head.

"Listen to class before she used this against me and say that I have something with you." Mo Xi laughed as she said that.

Jing Bo Chuan immediately sat straight and looked in front.

Throughout the lesson, Shen Yu Ning would try to interact with Mo Xi. Just like what Jing Bo Chuan said, being all nice and gracious 'helping' Mo Xi and the other students with their work.

During break time, Mo Xi was sitting at the side of the field when her phone rang.

She looked at her phone and when saw that it was Jing Mo Chen that called, she quickly answered the call sweetly "Hello, Mo Chen."

"Mo Xi, I applied for the marriage report form, my parents want to meet you. I told them that you are still studying so I arranged for you all to meet next Saturday at my house."

"Mm… Ok…"

"Why? What's wrong?"

"My supposed love-rival came to our class as our new Mathematics teacher…"

"Shen Yu Ning? Why is she there?"

"I can tell that she came for me, I just wanted to tell you to give you a heads up in case she decided to sabotage me…"

Jing Mo Chen chuckled and said seriously, "She sure does act fast. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will always be with you. I will never let you go again."

"Mm. I will never let you go as well." Mo Xi said with resolution.

They enjoyed the silence for a while before Jing Mo Chen said, "Little Xi, I am getting a bit sad."

"Ah? Why?"

"Other girls would get jealous because their love rival come out, and they would feel insecure, but you don't."

Mo Xi chuckled and said, "Who said that I am not jealous? I am jealous of her. She was there with you throughout your childhood years, while I only appeared five years ago and then disappeared again… I missed out too much of your life… I want to make it all up and I know that you really love me, so I don't want to let other people ruin our relationship or my chances of making it up to you for my absence the past few years."

"How do you intend to make it up to me?"

"Hmm… How about I make sure that both of us gets back to good health and then I throw myself on you?" Mo Xi laughed as she understood what Jing Mo Chen was trying to hint at.

"Are you saying it on purpose? Since you know that we can't do anything now, you decided to say all that and make me suffer?" Jing Mo Chen asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

"You were the one that started it, so wouldn't it be a waste if I don't play along with you? Plus, I can't bear to let you suffer." Mo Xi laughed once again.

"Very well, I will wait for that day. I will make sure that you won't be laughing when that day comes." Jing Mo Chen warned.

Mo Xi's face immediately turned red when she heard the warning.

"O! OK! Bye!" Mo Xi replied quickly and hung up.

On the other side, Jing Mo Chen looked at his phone after Mo Xi hung up. He chuckled and continued with his work.

"Yo! Seems like you are finally dating Mo Xi. Look at the smile on your face when you talked to her." Lu Jin Xiao teased as he walked into Jing Mo Chen's office.

"Why are you here?"

"Is this how you treat your friend that helped you find the girl you like? Ouch." Lu Jin Xiao said as he placed his hand over his heart and pretended that his heart hurt.

"You didn't find her, I found her."

!!!! F*ck! I can't even rebut it since it is the truth! Lu Jin Xiao cried internally.

"Forget it. I came here to ask you for Mo Xi tonight. My parents want to meet her."
