Chapter 596 Continuous Rejection
Eun Jung smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. She looked at Heo Mo, who was eating quietly, as if he hadn't noticed the conversation. Eun Jung felt mixed emotions. She knew the emotional boundaries of Heo Mo towards her, but she couldn't help but imagine how great it would be if Heo Mo was her lover.
At this time, Eunjeong's mother suddenly had an idea and suggested, "Eunjeong, didn't you mention last time that you have a very good partner? Mom remembers you said he is smart and capable, and he takes good care of you. Why don't you invite him to our house and let mom and dad see him and give us some advice."
Eunjeong was stunned for a moment. Looking at her mother's eager eyes, she hesitated for a few seconds, then looked at Xu Mo. Xu Mo felt Eunjeong's gaze and raised his eyes to meet hers. He put down his chopsticks, nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Eunjeong, if you need my help, I'd be happy to help."
Eun Jung breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Xu Mo's affirmative answer. She responded gratefully: "Thank you, Xu Mo. Then please act with me for a while, temporarily act as my boyfriend, and help me deal with my parents."
Xu Mo smiled slightly, and didn't seem to mind this sudden situation. Instead, he said with interest: "Don't worry, Eunjeong, I will do my best to cooperate."
So, under the expectation of Eunjeong's parents, Xu Mo appeared at home as Eunjeong's boyfriend. He was elegant, well-spoken, and considerate to Eunjeong, perfectly interpreting the image of an ideal boyfriend. Eunjeong's parents saw it and were delighted, praising Xu Mo.
However, as time goes by, Eun-jeong finds that her feelings for Heo-mo seem to have quietly changed in the process of pretending to be real. Whether Heo-mo is also caught up in this emotional entanglement, or whether he still maintains his rationality and distance, all this has become an unsolved mystery hanging in Eun-jeong's heart.
Eun-jung's parents are increasingly satisfied with Heo-mo, and they have repeatedly mentioned in private that they hope to drink their daughter's wedding wine as soon as possible. Facing her parents' expectations and her increasingly complicated emotions, Eun-jung can only pray secretly that this temporary "love" game can end smoothly without hurting anyone. And Heo-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, Eun-jung and Heo-mo sat on the sofa in the living room. Eun-jung mustered up her courage and asked softly, "Brother Heo-mo, do you think that if we continue like this, will it be... a bit too much?"
Xu Mo turned to look at Eun Jung, his deep eyes revealing an indescribable emotion. He slowly said, "Eun Jung, everything between us is to help you deal with your parents' pressure to get married. But I must admit that this period of 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 a decision."
Eunjeong looked at Xu Mo and her heart beat faster. She knew that this relationship was about to reach a new turning point, and no one could predict how this turning point would affect their future.
After Eunjeong dealt with the competition with the island food company and successfully entered the field of specialty food supply chain, life ushered in a new episode. On this day, Eunjeong received an invitation to a high school reunion. Although she was looking forward to the reunion and a little nervous, Eunjeong knew that her classmates would be curious about her personal life, especially her relationship status.
Therefore, Eun Jung found Xu Mo again, showing a hint of shyness and hesitation, and made a special request to him: "Xu Mo, I received an invitation to a high school reunion. You know, they will definitely ask me if I have a boyfriend. Last time you helped me deal with my parents, can you help me again this time and pretend to be my boyfriend to attend the party?"
Xu Mo thought for a moment after hearing this. He looked at the nervousness and expectation flashing in Eun Jung's eyes and smiled gently: "Eun Jung, do you really think it is necessary to do this? But since you asked, I will naturally help you."
On the day of the party, Eun-jeong dressed up carefully and walked into the hotel banquet hall with Xu Mo, who was wearing a neat suit. As soon as she entered, Eun-jeong's former classmates looked at her in surprise and envy. With his outstanding temperament and cultivation, Xu Mo quickly won the favor of Eun-jeong's classmates.
At the dinner table, Eun-jeong's classmates had a heated discussion about Eun-jeong and Heo-mo, with people constantly praising Heo-mo's talent and maturity. Eun-jeong listened to these compliments, glanced at Heo-mo who was calm and at ease beside her, and felt an inexplicable sense of pride in her heart.
A former friend joked, "Eunjeong, you really have a hidden treasure. How come I've never heard you mention such an excellent boyfriend before?"
Eun Jung looked at Xu Mo in a coquettish manner and responded, "Hey, you know I'm a low-key person. Besides, Xu Mo is my work partner, and I don't want to bring my private life into work."
Xu Mo answered 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 Eun Jung. Eun Jung and I are not only partners at work, but also friends in life. We will support each other and make progress together."
The atmosphere of the party became more harmonious under the leadership of Xu Mo, and Eun Jung 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. When the party was coming to an end, Eun Jung ran into her high school crush at the door of the bathroom. The other party looked at Xu Mo beside Eun Jung, and a trace of loneliness flashed across his face.
The crush politely said to Eunjeong, "Eunjeong, it seems that you are doing well now. This is your boyfriend, right? He is really outstanding."
Eun Jung responded frankly: "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 to happiness."
Just as the atmosphere of the party reached its climax and Eun Jung and Heo Mo were easily dealing with the teasing and blessings of their classmates, suddenly, a sharp voice broke the harmonious atmosphere: "Hey, isn't this Eun Jung? I remember your grades were average when you were in school, but I didn't expect that you are doing quite well now. You even found a boyfriend who is so stylish." The speaker was Eun Jung's former classmate, Lin Haoran, a person who always liked to show off his family background and belittle others.
Lin Haoran walked towards Eunjeong and Xu Mo, looked Xu Mo up and down, and said provocatively: "I mean Xu Mo, right? He does look decent, but packaging technology is so advanced these days, who knows the inside story? Eunjeong, don't be fooled by the superficial skills."
Eun Jung frowned, dissatisfied with Lin Haoran's rudeness, but she remained calm and responded: "Lin Haoran, everyone has their own way of life and choices. Xu Mo and I are 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 fingers here."
Xu Mo's face was calm, and he spoke politely but with dignity: "Lin Haoran, the relationship between Eun Jung and I 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 and service first, which is also the foundation of 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 fault at this party, then I advise you to save your energy and enjoy this party."
Lin Haoran was speechless after hearing what Xu Mo said. The classmates around him also expressed their dissatisfaction with Lin Haoran's behavior. The atmosphere of the party returned to joy and cordiality. Eun Jung looked at Xu Mo gratefully. He not only cleverly resolved the embarrassment, but also effectively maintained her dignity.
After the party, Eun Jung held Xu Mo's hand and said gratefully, "Xu Mo, thank you for helping me out today and helping me save face in front of my classmates."
Xu Mo smiled gently and patted the back of Eun Jung's hand gently: "Eun Jung, we are partners fighting side by side. Your business is my business. Moreover, I am happy to withstand all troubles for you. Remember, no matter when and where, we must believe in ourselves and move forward firmly."
The two smiled at each other and drank together again. Eun Jung's admiration and dependence on Xu Mo deepened, and Xu Mo proved his reliability as a friend and partner with practical actions.
On the streets at night, neon lights flickered, and Eunjeong and Heo Mo walked out of the party and blended into the night of the bustling city. The two strolled on the street, reminiscing about the happy time at the party, and Eunjeong 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-jeong greedily. The man claimed to be a powerful local boss, and expressed his desire for Eun-jeong's beauty without any concealment, and even arrogantly proposed to take Eun-jeong to a high-end party.
Eun-jeong's face darkened and she coldly rejected the other party's unreasonable request. However, the man did not give up and threatened that if Eun-jeong did not obey, it would bring trouble to the "Fusion House".
The crisis came instantly, and Eun-jeong instinctively leaned towards Xu Mo beside her, feeling his solidity and stability. Xu Mo's eyes flashed with a cold light, he stepped forward to block Eun-jeong, and responded in a firm tone: "I'm sorry, Miss Eun-jeong can't go with you, we have our own principles and bottom line."
Seeing this, the boss's face suddenly changed, and he became angry and ordered his men to step forward and try to take action. However, Xu Mo was agile and after a few rounds, he subdued those people with bad intentions. More and more people gathered around, and someone called the police. The police quickly arrived at the scene and controlled the situation.
After resolving this sudden crisis, Eun Jung held Xu Mo's hand tightly and looked at him with gratitude and worry: "Xu Mo, are you okay?"
Xu Mo smiled and shook his head, patting his chest, looking relaxed: "Don't worry, Eunjeong, I am more than capable of dealing with such people. However, it seems that our lives are not as simple as cooking in a restaurant, and sometimes we also need to deal with these unexpected seasonings."
Eunjeong smiled bitterly and sighed: "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 safe."
Xu Mo replied meaningfully: "Eunjeong, no matter what kind of 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 shines on the two of them. Eun Jung looks up at Heo Mo's resolute and gentle face, and a warm current surges 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 on their way home. Tonight's experience undoubtedly deepened their tacit understanding and trust. Eun-jeong secretly decided that no matter how difficult the future was, she would go on with Heo-mo.
The next morning, Eunjeong was still in shock over the incident last night, but Heo Mo suggested: "Eunjeong, after going through so much, I think we should put aside our work for a while and go on a trip together to relax. Changing the environment may help us see our hearts better."
Eun Jung looked at Xu Mo, with a hint of surprise and hesitation in her eyes, "But we are now at an important stage in our career development, and will that big boss retaliate against us for what happened last night?"
Xu Mo smiled slightly and said firmly: "Eunjeong, life is not just about work. Proper rest is to go further. As for that big guy, I have taken precautions. I believe he will not dare to act rashly in the short term. Moreover, we can also take this opportunity to further enhance our friendship and let each other know each other better."
Eunjeong thought about it and nodded, "You're right, let's go on a trip together. Where should we go?"
"Remember the Jeju Island you mentioned? The scenery there is beautiful and it's a good place to relax and avoid unnecessary disturbances." Xu Mo suggested.
Eunjeong’s eyes lit up and she readily agreed, “Okay, let’s go to Jeju Island!”
So, Eunjung and Heo Mo embarked on a journey to Jeju Island. When the plane took off, Eunjung breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the city gradually shrinking outside the window, her heart full of expectations for a new life and a growing trust in Heo Mo.
After arriving at Jeju Island, they rented a convertible sports car and drove along the coastline, feeling the freedom and comfort of the sea breeze. They played on the beach, tasted local food, and experienced folk culture. Every moment was filled with laughter and touching moments.
One night, when they were having a barbecue at the beach, Eun Jung, slightly tipsy, said to Heo Mo, "Brother Heo Mo, do you know? Without you, I might not have been able to hold on until now. Your existence is like a beacon to me, lighting my way forward."
Xu Mo stared at Eun Jung beside the bonfire, his eyes flashing with warmth. He picked up a bottle of beer and gently touched the cup in Eun Jung's hand, "Eun Jung, I am also very lucky to have you by my side. We have experienced the ups and downs together and shared joy together, which is the most precious thing."
