Chapter 668: 670, Pregnant (first update)

"Okay," Xiao Jinnian nodded and then headed in the opposite direction.

At the same time, Mo Zhixuan also left the Mo family compound. He came alone, without even bringing his assistant, Li Xunen.

The Hundred Flowers Conference was bustling with activity.

To avoid unnecessary chaos, Mo Zhixuan also bought a mask to wear.

A very ordinary white jade mask with some intricate floral patterns carved into it, chosen by commoners, was worn by Mo Zhixuan with an air of nobility and distinction.

Strangers on the road are like jade, and the gentleman is beyond compare.

Mo Zhixuan seemed to be strolling casually, yet his gaze continuously darted through the crowd, searching for that familiar figure.

"Mr. Mo," suddenly, a warm, deep male voice rang out from behind him, penetrating the boisterous noise around them, yet Mo Zhixuan heard it distinctly.

Mo Zhixuan stopped in his tracks and looked back, only to see a young man in a white suit wearing a Devil Mask approaching.

The newcomer was none other than Xiao Jinnian.

Actually, Xiao Jinnian had never met Mo Zhixuan before, but even within the crowd, he recognized Mo Zhixuan instantly.

A person may disguise himself in many ways, but his presence always remains the same.

"Who are you?" Mo Zhixuan asked as he looked at the newcomer, speaking slowly.

Xiao Jinnian gave a slight smile, "Mr. Mo, you’re here to find Chu Jin, aren’t you?"

Mo Zhixuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a clear chill flashing through them, "Do you know where she is?"

Previously, the vendor who sold masks mentioned that Chu Jin was accompanied by a young man. Could it be this very person in front of him?

For a moment, Mo Zhixuan was full of hostility towards Xiao Jinnian.

All young men who deliberately approach Jin are up to no good.

"Mr. Mo," Xiao Jinnian looked at Mo Zhixuan and continued, "Rest assured, we are friends, not foes. There’s a Rouge Tower ahead with good food; I recommend you try it out."

With those words, Xiao Jinnian turned and left, melting into the crowd and quickly vanishing from sight.

The message was clear, and if Mo Zhixuan still couldn’t understand, then one could only say that he and Chu Jin were fated to be apart.

Mo Zhixuan looked ahead, his eyes slightly narrowed, as he caught a faint scent coming from Xiao Jinnian.

But, he couldn’t be sure how much of what Xiao Jinnian said could be trusted.

What if it was a ruse to lure the tiger away from the mountain?

At that moment, Mo Zhixuan hesitated, undecided.

If he didn’t go, he would be worried.

And if he did go, he would be even more worried.

Chu Jin and Bai Ruyu walked and browsed along the way.

Bai Ruyu was a food lover, and it didn’t take long for her to fill her hands with various snacks.

"The most beautiful woman has arrived!"

Someone shouted in the crowd, and with that cry, petals began to flutter down from the sky.

Mu Xianxian sat on a palanquin, looking down at the crowd from her high position.

"Miss Xianxian, please look this way."

"Look over here."

The crowd surged as everyone hoped to catch the first beauty’s eye, but unfortunately, Mu Xianxian remained haughty, chin lifted, hardly deigning to spare a glance at these people.

The various colorful lanterns were quite beautiful. Mu Xianxian turned her head to look behind her, over the layers of lanterns and the surrounding crowd, her attention was involuntarily drawn to the woman wearing a hibiscus mask.

She stood next to a young man, with a row of lanterns behind her. Despite the busy, bustling surroundings, there was a sense of stillness about her that seemed too vast for her age.

As though everything around her had simply become a backdrop.

She didn’t chase after the palanquin like others, but stood there quietly, admiring an orchid under the evenly cast lantern light, which gave her a halo-like glow, making her seem cool and solitary.

She gazed at the flowers, while the man beside her was lowering his gaze to look at her.

When Mu Xianxian saw the man’s silver hair, she became utterly unsettled.

Could it be...

Mo Zhixuan?

If he was Mo Zhixuan, then who was the woman by his side?

Her figure and temperament.

Didn’t seem like Luo Yu.

But rather a bit like... Chu Jin.

And not just a bit, but very much so.

At that thought, Mu Xianxian felt a twinge between her brows; she had never considered Luo Yu a threat because she knew that neither Mo Zhixuan nor the old Madam Mo would ever acknowledge Luo Yu.

Luo Yu was merely a substitute.

But Chu Jin was different.

Chu Jin was the wife Mo Zhixuan had officially married in the secular world.

Not only did Mo Zhixuan hold her in his heart,

even the usually reticent old Madam Mo had acknowledged her.

Therefore, Mu Xianxian’s true rival had always been Chu Jin.

"Stop," Mu Xianxian said softly, lifting her hand.

The step carrier came to a halt.

Mu Xianxian picked up the hem of her dress and walked towards the two individuals; the onlooking crowd parted ways for her.

True beauties are only to be admired from a distance.

Thus, no one approached to disturb Mu Xianxian, and soon the crowds dispersed.

As the saying goes, beauty comes with distance; their admiration should not become a trouble for the first beauty’s outing.

People from the Superpower World are very rational.

"Zhixuan brother, Zhixuan brother," Mu Xianxian walked towards Chu Jin and Bai Ruyu with measured steps, her tone sweet.

Mu Xianxian did not wear a mask but instead donned a sheer veil that made her delicate cheeks partially visible.

Bai Ruyu looked bewildered at Mu Xianxian approaching her.

Among the tens of millions of flowers she had picked, there didn’t seem to be this one, right?

Bai Ruyu was afraid that Mu Xianxian had come to collect a debt of affection.

"Miss, you seem to have mistaken me for someone else," said Bai Ruyu, nonchalantly taking a step back in the face of Mu Xianxian’s unrestrained enthusiasm.

It wasn’t until Mu Xianxian had approached that she realized she had mistaken the man with silver hair—it wasn’t Mo Zhixuan.

For one, the height was not right.

Second, the aura was off.

Third, his right index finger didn’t bear a ring.

Fourth, his voice was also different.

"I’m sorry, I mistook you for someone else," Mu Xianxian apologized sincerely to Bai Ruyu.

Used to mingling among the elite society, having seen grand events, and making acquaintances with many wealthy young masters, Mu Xianxian knew that even if this person was not Mo Zhixuan, his status couldn’t be simple either.

Moreover, this woman by his side, the more she looked, the more she looked like Chu Jin.

No matter how a person changes, her temperament always remains the same.

In the past, in the presence of Chu Jin, she always felt an inferiority complex.

Now, although she couldn’t see the real features of this woman, she felt a strange sense of inferiority kindle in her heart, as if she were somehow lesser.

This feeling was very unpleasant.

Bai Ruyu seemed not very interested in Mu Xianxian, the number one beauty, and said casually, "It’s nothing."

Mu Xianxian kept looking at the person beside Bai Ruyu.

Strangely, that person’s gaze did not avoid hers, but boldly met Mu Xianxian’s scrutiny. Her peach blossom eyes sparkled brilliantly, exceptionally bright under the lights, glittering dazzlingly.

Was it Chu Jin?

Mu Xianxian narrowed her eyes.

Aside from Chu Jin, no one dared to meet her gaze so brazenly.

But, if it was Chu Jin, why didn’t she react at all upon seeing her?

If it wasn’t Chu Jin, why did she give her this strange feeling?

For a moment, Mu Xianxian was filled with myriad thoughts.

"Little Jin Jin, there are tastier things that way, let’s head over there," Bai Ruyu, without giving Mu Xianxian another glance, led Chu Jin in another direction.

Just as Chu Jin turned around.

Mu Xianxian’s pupils suddenly contracted!

Because on her left wrist, Mu Xianxian saw a blood-red Blood Jade Bracelet.

Mu Xianxian staggered back several steps, her mouth covered in shock.

Seeing this, she could almost confirm that this woman was Chu Jin!

It was Chu Jin!

Chu Jin was still alive.

She was actually still alive.

If she was still alive, why didn’t she look for Mo Zhixuan? Why didn’t she return to the Chu Family? Instead, why was she walking with another man?

Could it be?

She...

Had amnesia?

Judging by the situation just now, Chu Jin seemed not to remember her either.

Otherwise, with Chu Jin’s personality, she wouldn’t have been indifferent upon seeing her.

Was it amnesia? Mu Xianxian narrowed her eyes slightly, a glint flashing in their depths.

It seemed that Mo Zhixuan didn’t know Chu Jin had returned yet.

Why not take this opportunity to make Chu Jin disappear from this world forever?

Only in this way, could she possibly have no more worries for the future.

Thinking this, Mu Xianxian slowly calmed down.

"Isn’t that Xianxian? Why aren’t you riding in a sedan chair today?" Suddenly, a gentle female voice came from behind.

The voice was gentle, but if one listened closely, they would find that this gentle voice carried a hint of mockery.

Luo Yu always disliked Mu Xianxian’s ostentatious nature.

Wasn’t she just the number one beauty?

A hollow title, that was all.

And yet Mu Xianxian always acted so arrogantly, making such a big show even for stepping outside, as if she were a fairy descending from the heavens.

Mu Xianxian steadied her spirits, turned around, and then saw Luo Yu, dressed to the nines, not even wearing a mask.

At the Hundred Flowers Conference, only those who were pregnant did not wear masks.

Could it be?

This Luo Yu... is pregnant?

An unmarried woman, actually daring so blatantly to declare that she’s with child.

Unless.

It’s the child of someone with a very high status and identity, worth showing off for her.

Although Mu Xianxian was thinking this, she still greeted them very politely, "Aunt Yuan, Miss Luo."

"Xianxian," Zhao Yan responded with a smile.

With her arm around Luo Yu’s, Zhao Yan saw Mu Xianxian and just gave a simple smile, without saying much. Mu Xianxian could clearly feel that Zhao Yan seemed not to like her as much as before.

It must be Luo Yu stirring up trouble about her in front of Zhao Yan again!

Otherwise, Zhao Yan would not be so indifferent to her.

This Luo Yu really is cunning!

Actually whispering behind her back!

Such people are truly disgusting.

There’s Chu Jin yet to be dealt with in front, and now there’s a Luo Yu at the back!

It really confirms the saying, "Wolves in front, tigers behind."

Mu Xianxian clenched her teeth tightly, her complexion looking very unsightly.

"Xianxian, I see you look so pale, are you feeling unwell?" Luo Yu asked with great concern.

"It’s nothing," Mu Xianxian touched her cheek with her hand, then hesitantly asked, "You... are pregnant?"

Luo Yu covered her mouth with a light laugh, very proudly said, "Oh my, you’ve found out. Recently, I have been feeling somewhat uncomfortable, it seems... I am indeed."

Really pregnant!?

Mu Xianxian frowned inconspicuously, then smiled and said, "Having a baby out of wedlock is not a good reputation, Miss Luo had better keep it down, lest outsiders hear and even involve Aunt Yuan. And, such a shameless act, if it were someone else, they would have been too ashamed to show their face already. But why do I feel that Miss Luo seems very proud of herself?"

This Luo Yu really is shameless!

Not knowing whose bastard she’s carrying in her belly, yet acting so proud.

Looking at her, it’s as though she can’t wait to announce to the whole world that she’s pregnant.

Luo Yu wasn’t angry; on the contrary, her smile grew more pronounced, "Xianxian, don’t be sour just because you can’t eat grapes. Just ask around in the Superpower World, who doesn’t know that Miss Chu of the Chu Family is the fiancée of the leader of the Superpower World, the future Mrs. Mo the Ninth? This can’t be considered having a baby out of wedlock." With that, Luo Yu raised her hand to stroke her belly, a look of pride on her face.

She was carrying Mo Zhixuan’s seed, so now she had no worries whatsoever.

And what was Mu Xianxian?

So what if she was the number one beauty?

She was still trampled beneath her feet.

She was to be the future Mrs. Mo the Ninth.

And she was the genuine Mrs. Mo the Ninth.

"You’ve said it yourself, it’s Miss Chu of the Chu Family, Chu Jin," Mu Xianxian said with a face full of sarcasm, "Miss Luo, haven’t you stayed in the Chu Family for a few days and forgotten your own surname? Luo Yu, I advise you to have some self-awareness and not make a fool of yourself here."

Luo Yu’s surname is Luo.

The Chu Family’s Miss’ surname is Chu.

At best, Luo Yu resembles Chu Jin by a fraction, and yet she deludes herself with thoughts of taking Chu Jin’s place and marrying Mo Zhixuan?

Wishful thinking.

How could Luo Yu be so shameless?

"What my surname is isn’t important. What matters is the surname of the child in my belly," Luo Yu puffed out her very flat stomach proudly, "Mu Xianxian, I advise you to keep your voice down. Otherwise, if you frighten the child in my belly, I won’t let you off lightly."
