Ji Buwang’s brows were still furrowed. “What are you hiding from me?”
She was indeed hiding something from Ji Buwang, but she couldn’t possibly let Ji Buwang know about this. Mu Jingzhe shook her head firmly. “Nothing, absolutely nothing!”
Mu Jingzhe coughed. “If you’re busy, go ahead. I’m busy too.”
Ji Buwang acknowledged this but didn’t move. He looked at her and couldn’t help but ask, “Oh right, are you carrying me with you?”
“Ah…” Mu Jingzhe didn’t react in time. What did he mean by that?
“It’s that mini Russian doll I reminded you about previously.” Ji Buwang took the little Mu Jingzhe out of his pocket. “I carry you with me. When you aren’t around, Little Jingzhe always accompanies me.”
Mu Jingzhe had previously guessed that there might be an even smaller Russian doll on Ji Buwang, but it had only been a guess. She hadn’t expected it to be true.
Upon seeing Ji Buwang skillfully take it out and even call it Little Jingzhe, while the cute and adorable little doll really lay obediently in Ji Buwang’s palm, for some reason, she felt like she was in Ji Buwang’s palm.
Mu Jingzhe stuttered. “You… You don’t really carry her around all the time, do you?”
“What about you? Did you not listen to me?” Ji Buwang wouldn’t answer whether he often carried it with him or even said goodnight to it every day.
“I… I actually brought it with me.” When she’d first packed her luggage, she’d seen the mini Russian doll and remembered what Ji Buwang had said about it not taking up much space, so Mu Jingzhe had stuffed it in her suitcase.
But she wouldn’t carry it with her.
“It’s good that you brought it along.” Ji Buwang was satisfied when he heard that Mu Jingzhe had brought it. “After I leave, you can look at Little Buwang if you miss me.”
Little Jingzhe and Little Buwang sounded very cute. Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but smile. Then, she saw Ji Buwang carefully put the doll back in his pocket.
He put it back in his chest pocket, close to his heart. “This pocket has been specially sewn. It won’t let Little Jingzhe fall, so it won’t hurt you.”
After getting Little Jingzhe, Ji Buwang had sewn all his pockets shut.
Ji Buwang was afraid that Mu Jingzhe would be worried, so he took two steps closer to let her see. Mu Jingzhe saw Little Jingzhe lying obediently in his pocket.
Ji Buwang seemed to be bragging. Mu Jingzhe muttered, “Stop calling it Little Jingzhe.”
He sounded like he was calling her ‘Little Jingzhe’ when she was already a grown woman.
“Why can’t I call it that? You don’t like it?”
“No.” It wasn’t like that. It just felt weird.
“No? Then why is your face suddenly red?” Ji Buwang frowned and lowered his head to look at Mu Jingzhe.
“My face is red?” Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but stroke her face. She raised her hand and saw the men’s underwear that was still hidden in her hand. She quickly hid it behind her back.
If Ji Buwang saw this, even if she explained that she was doing business, it would definitely be very awkward.
Mu Jingzhe waved her hand. “My face is fine. Ji Buwang, leave quickly.”
Mu Jingzhe turned around after saying that. She didn’t want Ji Buwang to discover the thing in her hand, nor did she want to continue discussing whether or not she was blushing.
However, how could Ji Buwang let Mu Jingzhe go right now? He felt that Mu Jingzhe had been acting weird all day, not to mention that her face had indeed turned red just now.
“Jingzhe, are you having a fever?” Ji Buwang quickly asked, anxiously holding Mu Jingzhe’s shoulder.
“I’m fine.” Mu Jingzhe moved aside and let Ji Buwang’s hand fall from her shoulder.
The faster Mu Jingzhe fled, the more worried Ji Buwang became.
“Wait.” Ji Buwang made a grabbing motion and finally managed to grab Mu Jingzhe.
However, before Ji Buwang could heave a sigh of relief, he felt that something was amiss. What he was grabbing didn’t seem to be just… clothes.
Ji Buwang looked down at his hand and felt stunned.
Mu Jingzhe was just as stunned, as she was being pulled… by the back of her bra strap.
She was wearing thinner clothing because it was summer. Plus, Ji Buwang had exerted strength out of anxiety, and Mu Jingzhe had continued walking forward, so he had pulled it firmly. Mu Jingzhe had made a lot of effort to achieve the elasticity this bra had. The elasticity was really good and the material was breathable, so Mu Jingzhe was very satisfied with it. It was a featured product in her newly launched undergarment line.
Mu Jingzhe was satisfied with this lingerie and felt that the design and comfort had met her requirements, but… but that wasn’t the main point. The point was that the back of her bra strap was pulled!
Because it was very elastic, it was completely pulled open like a slingshot.
Mu Jingzhe was stunned, and Ji Buwang finally reacted and hurriedly let go.
With a thud, the bra strap bounced heavily on Mu Jingzhe’s back, making her bare her teeth.
Mu Jingzhe was numb. What was going on? Wasn’t this situation only encountered in movies, television, or funny videos that had been specially edited? Why had she encountered this in reality?
When she had first swiped on this video, she had laughed so happily. Now, she wanted to hit someone.
The video was really funny, but when this happened in reality, it didn’t seem that funny anymore. She also experienced the feelings and mood of the person whose bra strap was pulled, and it was really painful and infuriating.
No wonder the girl in that video had been so angry. She was furious too! Mu Jingzhe glared back.
Ji Buwang: “…”
Ji Buwang felt terrible and wished he could crawl into the ground.
Why would he hold her…? If he had held on to the hope that he had tugged at something else a second ago, that hope had completely vanished by now.
Ji Buwang’s face was red as a cooked prawn, several times redder than Mu Jingzhe’s.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Jingzhe, I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t expect… I really didn’t do it on purpose.” Ji Buwang was about to cry.
“If you dared do this on purpose, would I give you a chance to speak? I’d have beaten you up long ago!”
As Mu Jingzhe spoke angrily, she accidentally opened her hand and what she was holding fell by Ji Buwang’s feet.
Previously, Mu Jingzhe had been gripping it tightly. Now that it was spread out, one could tell at a glance what it was.
Mu Jingzhe was petrified, and the words in her mouth froze. Ji Buwang also froze after taking a look. This time, it was even more awkward. The awkwardness in the air intensified.
Mu Jingzhe’s mind was a mess, and Ji Buwang was even more confused. He suddenly remembered that he had accidentally pulled Mu Jingzhe’s bra and he looked at the piece of clothing on the ground.
This was definitely a man’s. One could tell at a glance. But… why would Mu Jingzhe have this? Could it be Shao Qihai’s?
At the thought that it was Shao Qihai’s, Ji Buwang’s mind exploded. Then, he tried his best to calm down. That couldn’t be. She had already signed the divorce agreement with Shao Qihai. It was impossible!
Although he said it was impossible in his heart, Ji Buwang couldn’t help but ask, “Is this…”
At the same time, Mu Jingzhe couldn’t stand the awkwardness and spoke up. She tried her best to break the awkwardness, adhering to the principle that as long as she wasn’t embarrassed, the awkward one would be the other party. Mu Jingzhe said, “Since you’ve seen it, I’ll give it to you. This is my new product. Take it and try it on. Give me feedback when you do.” She felt that she was handling this very graciously.
Ji Buwang: “…”
