Chapter 314: Chapter 314: BBQ Party, Mo Baiyou’s Bitterness

"Mummy, Mummy..."

Ningning clung to Ning Yichu’s arm, acting coy.

Ning Yichu couldn’t help but sigh, "I really can’t say no to you. Alright, Chen Bao and I will go out tonight, and I’ll bring back something delicious for you."

"Yay! Thank you, Mummy!"

Ningning’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

For one, she wanted her mummy and her brother to relax. And secondly... she was genuinely craving some snacks...

But alas, the sky still hadn’t darkened yet...

"You little foodie, if you keep eating, aren’t you afraid of turning into a little piggy?"

Chen Bao noticed her gluttonous attitude and couldn’t help but tease her.

"Pfft, not a chance! Godmother said that girls who can eat are blessed~" Ningning puffed up her cheeks proudly.

Mo Baiyou and Ning Yichu watched the two kids bicker, and the hospital room filled with a lively and warm atmosphere.

They stayed with Ningning until evening, before explaining everything to the hired caregiver. Then, Ning Yichu took Chen Bao and left the hospital.

Since they had to attend a party, Ning Yichu and Chen Bao both opted for a simple styling.

On their way there—

Chen Bao was sitting in the backseat with his tablet, scrolling through the domestic social media platform he had logged into.

He discovered that the public scandal regarding the power grid project had already been resolved...

The Li Group’s official website also announced the renewal of their collaboration, and public opinion had shifted in a positive direction.

Chen Bao knew Li Lingyang was formidable and that his small disruptions wouldn’t stall him for long.

But he hadn’t expected him to resolve everything so efficiently!

In just a few days, everything was sorted out?

It seemed he couldn’t underestimate his trashy dad...

Still, since he’d scrubbed all traces of their actions from the internet, his trashy dad probably wouldn’t find them that quickly, right?

...

The night descended, and the sky sparkled with stars.

A grand bonfire blazing at the center of the party cast a beautiful glow.

Warm-yellow string lights adorned the area, mingling with the scent of Western-style barbecue, a long white dining table, and elegant music.

The party had attracted many guests, and even the breeze seemed infused with a sense of freedom...

"Chu Chu, let me introduce you to my friends,"

Mo Baiyou led them straight to the center of the party, instantly becoming the focus of everyone’s attention.

His exceptional status ensured that his friends wouldn’t be ordinary people—they were all esteemed figures across various domains, both Hua Country natives and foreigners alike.

It was clear from their tone that Mo Baiyou held Ning Yichu in high regard, prompting them to treat her with extra respect.

One person, speaking fluent Chinese, said, "Lady Ning, so you’re Beiji Group’s ace jade sculptor! Truly, meeting you in person far surpasses your reputation—you’re even more beautiful than I imagined!"

Ning Yichu looked at the foreigner in front of her with surprise, "You’ve heard of me?"

"Of course! You’re Mr. Mo’s pride; it’s hard for us not to know. Plus, I came across your jade carving pieces on Instagram—they’re extraordinarily impressive! Many of the executives here are fans of your work, you know." The man praised her enthusiastically, even giving a thumbs-up.

Chen Bao listened, his heart swelling with pride.

Mummy was his idol too!!

Ning Yichu, embarrassed from all the compliments, humbly replied, "You flatter me. I was just lucky, that’s all."

"Luck may help, but without skill, no one lasts in their craft! Actually, speaking of jade carving, I recall there’s an international jade carving exhibition happening soon. Lady Ning, given how astonishing your designs are, why not register and participate in it?"

For this exhibition, participants needed to submit photos and details of their designs to the organizers’ email.

If shortlisted, they’d need to deliver the physical piece for assessment by an international jury of renowned jade carving masters.

Reportedly, the first place winner would gain not only popularity and recognition but also a handsome prize in US Dollars.

Ning Yichu had only planned to attend as a spectator this time, without the intention to compete...

"I’ll think about it."

"Mr. Mo, it’s been a long time!"

As their conversation continued—

A sweet and alluring feminine voice suddenly rang out.

It was spoken in flawless A-country English, with pure diction and an undeniable sense of superiority.

Ning Yichu turned her gaze toward the source of the voice, spotting a striking mixed-race woman.

The woman had flowing blond hair and piercing blue eyes. Her features were sculpted with the depth typical of Westerners, yet her delicate beauty hinted at her Hua Country roots.

But most striking were her voluptuous curves beneath her collarbones—well above a 36D size—and her revealing, low-cut outfit that seemed on the verge of exposing her entirely.

Ning Yichu glanced down at herself and twitched the corner of her mouth slightly.

A stark contrast...

Mo Baiyou’s lips curled ever so faintly, "Lady Herman?"

"Mr. Mo, I didn’t expect you to still remember me. If I’m counting correctly, it’s been about a year since we last saw each other!" Herman’s eyes glistened with surprise and excitement as she leaned toward Mo Baiyou, her hand hooking onto his arm, almost pressing against him.

Mo Baiyou furrowed his brows slightly and discreetly stepped back.

He responded nonchalantly in A-country English, "Yes, it has been a while. I didn’t expect to run into you here."

Herman appeared oblivious, her fiery gaze fixed squarely on him, as she added coyly, "Our last meeting was so rushed. I didn’t get to chat with you all night. Do you think there’s a chance for that tonight?"

Ning Yichu picked up on the underlying meaning, startled by Herman’s directness and boldness.

Were women really... this open here?

Judging that with the children present it wasn’t appropriate to stay longer, Ning Yichu prepared to find an excuse to leave.

But as she turned her head, she caught sight of Chen Bao, who was fully engrossed, seemingly enjoying the drama.

Uncle Mo... was he having a little romantic encounter?

Ning Yichu’s forehead involuntarily grew three black lines, "Mr. Mo, you two should keep chatting. I’ll take the kids over there for some food."

Chen Bao looked up, almost as if silently protesting—

Mummy, we’re not really hungry yet; we want to keep enjoying the show!

"I find my conversation with Lady Herman rather uninteresting. Besides, I’m actually hungry too—how about we go together?" Mo Baiyou immediately interrupted Ning Yichu, his deep black eyes fixed intensely on her.

The meaning in his gaze was unmistakable—he intended to nip this budding romance in the bud!

Ning Yichu noticed Herman’s fervent gaze, then thought about her own ambiguous relationship with Mo Baiyou. There was no way she could walk alongside him in this situation.

She had already caused plenty of trouble for Mo Baiyou, and he was a normal, capable man after all!

"Haha, I see Lady Herman still has a lot left to say. How about you two keep chatting for now? I’ll ask a server to bring you something to eat later..." With that, Ning Yichu quickly grabbed the children and left.

Little did she realize, Herman, overhearing her words, flashed a look of contempt.

An Oriental woman?

Ha, someone as distinguished as Mr. Mo, a senior figure at Beiji Group, with noble lineage—why would he have such a lowly woman near him?

"Mr. Mo, you see, she is quite self-aware, knowing she’s unworthy of you. So why don’t we continue our conversation? To tell you the truth, I liked you the moment I first laid my eyes on you!"

Faced with the sultry woman before him, Mo Baiyou’s patience quickly wore thin.

"Apologies, but I can’t return your feelings. I already have someone I care about," he replied curtly.

"You mean that woman who just left?" Herman couldn’t stop herself from asking.

With her figure and looks, what man would refuse her?

Even if it didn’t lead to a confirmed relationship, couldn’t they share a fleeting romance...

After all, A-country’s overall culture was far more open.

Her humiliated expression briefly turned bitter, as she clenched her molars tightly.

"I don’t think I need to explain my personal matters to you. Excuse me," Mo Baiyou said coldly, before striding away.

The bonfire crackled loudly.

Mo Baiyou was a smart man; he understood—

If Ning Yichu truly had feelings for him, she absolutely wouldn’t let him be alone with a woman who clearly had designs on him...

This only proved that she didn’t harbor such emotions for him. No matter which woman was by his side, she wouldn’t feel jealous!

Yet, as time passed, his love for Ning Yichu had not waned; in fact, it had only deepened.

He yearned to have her, to touch her, to live a life beside her...

This was why he’d suggested Ningning take a trip back to A-country, exploiting her frailty. Why he had deliberately created confusion to prevent Li Lingyang from finding them...

"Mr. Mo, it’s been a while..."

"Mr. Mo, I heard you moved into the Asian market recently and achieved a new sales miracle!"

As Mo Baiyou suffered internally in silence, a group of old acquaintances approached to greet him.

Mo Baiyou, planning to locate Ning Yichu, couldn’t help but pause.

Meanwhile, in the depths of the night, a private jet descended onto the airport...
