Faded Makeup

For money, Jin Jumo "signed" herself to the business tycoon Rong Mochen, for a period of one year.

Upon their first meeting, the man's voice was icy, "I like women who keep their place, understand?"

"Yes." Jin Jumo nodded lightly.

So, Jin Jumo always adhered to her place, tightly locking her heart away, never crossing the line.

If there was anything in her relationship with Rong Mochen that Jin Jumo hadn't anticipated, it would be...

"Mr. Rong, our contract expired a week ago." Jin Jumo lightly curved her lips, giving a smile that didn't reach her eyes as she looked at the man in front of her.

"So?"

"So, Mr. Rong, are you playing rogue now?" Jin Jumo gritted her teeth.

"Hmm..." Rong Mochen frowned, leisurely raising his head to look at Jin Jumo, "Is my daughter behaving well in your belly?"

"It's not even two months, how do you know it's definitely a daughter..."

Wait... Jin Jumo's eyes widened in terror, she hadn't told him she was pregnant...

Rumor had it, a car accident targeting Z City tycoon Rong Mochen resulted in the death of a seven-month-pregnant woman.

Rumor had it, after the accident, the Rong Family's president underwent a drastic change, becoming ruthless and fierce from being coldly indifferent.

Rumor had it, the person killed in the accident was the person closest to Rong Mochen's heart.

Four years later.

"Brother, do we really need to find a new boyfriend for Mommy?" The little bun bit his chubby fingers, looking at the little boy beside him who was slightly taller.

"Yes." The boy squinted, his gaze coldly fixed on the televised global sensation of the Rong Family's president's luxurious engagement ceremony.

"But didn't Brother say that the old man named Rong is our real dad?"

Jin Jumo, who had just stepped into the house, was nearly collapsing inside. How did the two little guys know Rong Mochen was...

Her clear eyes also showed a pitiful expression as she looked at Rong Mochen, "Mr. Rong, may I apply for a chance to explain?"


Before Rong Mochen could answer, Yu Yinluo's trembling, tense voice came from a distance.


Jin Jumo twitched her lips, Miss Yu truly deserved to be called an actress, she was acting with such enthusiasm all by herself.


However, Rong Mochen seemed not to hear Yu Yinluo's voice at all, his cold gaze fixed straight on Jin Jumo, his hoarse voice still charming enough to make one want to have his children, "What if I don't want to hear any explanations right now?"


"... Then what does Mr. Rong want to do now?" Jin Jumo looked at him with innocent and bewildered eyes.


Her pure and naive look made it hard to resist bullying her!


Her long eyelashes drooped low, avoiding his gaze.


Since she signed that "contract," she was destined to have no autonomy in front of him; she'd known this for a long time, hadn't she?


At her height of 1.67 meters, Jin Jumo standing in front of him was practically a little shortie.


Just like now, she needed to tilt her chin up to see the man's face clearly.


"Do you know where to go after the dance party?" Rong Mochen asked.


The guilty Jin Jumo silently mulled over Rong Mochen's words in her heart before cautiously looking at him and whispering, "... School."


Jin Jumo's heart contracted fiercely; it seemed like she couldn't escape tonight, so she closed her eyes and added, "Tomorrow is the weekend, I don't have to go back to school tonight."


Rong Mochen raised an eyebrow slightly, his deep gaze scanned Jin Jumo once more, his thin lips curling into a sudden sinister smile, "You've been out for so long, your dance partner must be anxious, aren't you going back?"


"..." Jin Jumo's expression froze instantly.


Ultimately, Jin Jumo returned to the dance party.


What else could she do if she didn't go back? It was obvious that she was cornered by someone and had no choice but to go back, otherwise, it would look sneaky and suspicious.


Besides, since he caught her red-handed, whether she wanted to provoke his displeasure or not, she already did. Why should she owe Ying Jingyao once more?


Jin Jumo composed herself and deliberately returned to the dance party five minutes after Rong Mochen, and just after she found a spot in a corner to sit down, Ying Jingyao appeared in front of her, his handsome face still carrying traces of tension and concern.


Jin Jumo was startled and stood up, "Brother Ying..."


"I couldn't find you anywhere, I thought something happened to you." Ying Jingyao interrupted Jin Jumo, his clear eyes filled with a kind of questioning as he looked at Jin Jumo.


Jin Jumo felt a bit apologetic and softly said, "I got a bit bored just now, so I went for a walk."


Ying Jingyao's eyes flashed, and his lips tightened slightly as he stared at Jin Jumo for a moment before apologetically saying, "This kind of dance party is inherently dull, and besides me, you don't know anyone else, so it must be quite boring... In any case, it's my oversight, please forgive me."


Seeing him acting so formally, Jin Jumo suddenly didn't know what to say, she smiled awkwardly, then silently lowered her long lashes.
