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...

The other end paused for a bit, then the gentle voice softened, "Just buy whatever you like."


Jin Jumo raised an eyebrow, catching sight of Jian Liangtong already finished with checkout and walking over, so she simply hummed in response.


"Who was that?" Jian Liangtong approached, glanced at Jin Jumo's phone, and asked bluntly.


Jin Jumo replied quickly and naturally, "A friend."


Jian Liangtong nodded and didn't press further, but her eyes stayed fixed on Jin Jumo.


Jin Jumo pressed her lips together, dropped her gaze slightly, and lightened her voice, "I'll call you back later, okay?"


"A friend?" Rong Mochen sneered lightly, his rich voice tinged with amusement.


Jin Jumo's cheeks grew warm, wisely choosing not to respond.


Though inwardly, she couldn't help but grumble.


If it weren't for the fact he could hear her from the other side of the line, she wouldn't even want to call him a "friend"!


What kind of friends are they...really?
