The atmosphere remained tense until Jiang Momo finally broke into a smile.

"Then I congratulate you, Young Master Li."

Jiang Momo didn't understand the meaning behind Li Yunqi's words, but she couldn't have asked for it more.

As long as this person stops bothering him, he can do whatever he wants.

"you……"

When his hopes were dashed, Li Yunqi was not only saddened but also somewhat incredulous.

"You really don't mind at all?"

"Of course," Jiang Momo replied without any hesitation.

Not only that, she added following Li Yunqi's words, "However, I won't be attending the wedding banquet, since someone of my status is really not worthy of being in the Li family's elegant hall."

Li Yunqi's mother certainly wouldn't be happy about her appearance.

And if she really goes, in what capacity?

Is she the groom's ex-girlfriend? Or is she Li Jiuyuan's wife, Li Yunqi's aunt?

Just thinking about such a chaotic scene gave Jiang Momo goosebumps all over her body.

She didn't want to think about it anymore, nor did she want to waste any more time with Li Yunqi. She raised her hand to push the man away and prepared to leave through the stairwell.

"Young Master Li, I promised to take care of you until you are discharged from the hospital, and I have done so. From now on, we are even."

The implication was that Li Yunqi should stop using work-related matters to morally blackmail her.

As the light streamed back in, Li Yunqi, still immersed in his earlier sorrow, snapped out of his reverie and tried to grab Jiang Momo's hand.

"Momo, wait! Don't go yet!"

But this time it didn't work out.

Jiang Momo had already left the stairwell and stepped into the light, while he remained trapped in darkness, his steps halted by those words.

His heart clenched for a moment, and Li Yunqi gasped for breath, raising his hand to cover his chest.

wrong.

He doesn't believe it.

There's definitely something wrong; those words were definitely not what Jiang Momo wanted to say willingly.

That must be it, Momo definitely has feelings for him.

Even if Jiang Momo doesn't want to, or can't, admit it now, Li Yunqi will continue to wait until the day Jiang Momo is willing to stay by his side.

……

Jiang Momo felt overjoyed at the thought of going home.

But she couldn't show it too obviously, so she just couldn't stop smiling.

Jiang Momo sent a message to Jing Tailan after returning to the hotel and unpacking her things.

She stayed in Xiangcheng these past few days, and since she had nothing else to do, she continued to work online on her computer in her spare time.

Unexpectedly, the other party received the message and immediately called back.

"Mr. Jing, is there anything I can help you with?"

Jiang Momo was a little nervous.

She was afraid that if Jing Tailan said something, she would have to stay in Xiangcheng for a few more days.

Fortunately, that's not the case. Jingtailan has finished his work here and is preparing to return to Beijing today.

She called to ask Jiang Momo to wait for her, and also to have her assistant buy them both tickets for the same flight.

Jiang Momo didn't stand on ceremony.

Half an hour later, Jing Tailan arrived with her assistant to pick her up.

From a great distance, Jiang Momo noticed Jing Tailan's car, but the other person didn't see her, so she immediately waved and shook her hand.

When the vehicle arrived, Jiang Momo greeted it with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Jing."

Upon meeting her, Jing Tailan scanned Jiang Momo up and down before saying, "Come on up first."

She had just gotten into the car when she heard Jing Tailan's curious voice.

Why do you look so happy today?

This was the happiest Jiang Momo had ever been since we met, except when she received her own salary.

Clearly, the person involved was unaware of this.

Jiang Momo was stunned for a moment.

"I'm fine."

Jing Tailan shook her head.

"You seem really excited, is it because you're going home?"

Come back home?

Upon hearing those two words, Jiang Momo unconsciously thought of a certain face.

Her cheeks immediately started to feel hot. She raised her hand, touched her face with the back of her hand, and made a very soft "hmm" sound.

He then immediately shook his head.

"I wasn't thinking about him."

"Who?"

Upon hearing Jing Tailan's question and realizing she had let something slip, Jiang Momo's face flushed even more. She cleared her throat and kept glancing around.

After thinking for a long time, I finally found a suitable reason.

"I'm talking about the cat I keep at home, named Xiao Mo."

"real?"

Having seen countless people and all sorts of situations, Jingtailan clearly didn't believe it.

"real."

Despite Jiang Momo's repeated confirmations, Jing Tailan ultimately did not expose her.

"Alright... Xiao Mo, it's a pretty name."

Despite receiving praise, Jiang Momo remained awkward throughout the rest of the journey until the two arrived at the airport and successfully boarded their plane.

The moment Jiang Momo sat in the first-class seat on the airplane, her wavering heart finally settled down.

Before this, she was always afraid that something unexpected would happen.

Now that she was certain she could really go back, Jiang Momo finally dared to be truly happy.

Seeing that she was noticeably more lively, Jing Tailan, remembering what had happened before, asked, "By the way, you knew Young Master Li before?"

Jiang Momo, still immersed in joy, instantly snapped out of her reverie.

"What?"

Why would Jingtailan suddenly ask herself this question?

And she didn't even know she knew Li Yunqi? But it was clearly Li Yunqi who recommended her to Jingtailan.

Jing Tailan had kept this question to herself for a long time.

After all, when they first arrived in Xiangcheng, the way Jiang Momo and Li Yunqi met was really too strange.

It's like two people who have known each other for a long time, but parted ways because of certain things.

"I……"

Jiang Momo's mind raced as she didn't know how to answer.

She quickly came up with an impeccable reason for herself.

She knew that Jingtailan never liked anyone trying to get in through connections. No matter if they were a senior figure in the industry or other capital, no one could get special treatment from Jingtailan.

I am the same.

Li Yunqi must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes to get this job.

But fearing that she might hold a grudge again, he discussed it with Jing Tailan in advance.

Jing Tailan is probably unaware that he already knows what she and Li Yunqi did together.

Since they didn't explain it themselves, Jiang Momo just went along with Jing Tailan's words.

"We've met a few times before, but we're not really close."

Upon hearing this, Jing Tailan pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

The flight was very smooth from then on.

Several hours later, the two finally landed in Beijing.

It was still rainy in Beijing this month. When Jiang Momo got off the plane, a light drizzle was falling from the sky, and the dampness hit her face with a chill.

She flinched and pulled her coat tighter around herself.

Jing Tailan noticed and asked, "Are you cold? You just got back. Would you like to go out for a meal with me to warm up?"

In the past, Jiang Momo would definitely have said yes.

After all, the person standing in front of her was Jing Tailan, someone who would be hard-pressed to get even a meal from her.

But at that moment, Jiang Momo shook her head.

"No, Mr. Jing, I'm going home."

She had a kitten waiting for her at home, so she had to go back and check on it first.
