Childhood Sweethearts: He's Jealous Again!
Chapter 551: Not Valuable

Chapter 551: Chapter 551: Not Valuable

"What are you doing?" Tong Mo was startled and quickly began to struggle, "Let go of me, so many people are watching in the street!"

Seeing passersby casting sidelong glances at them, Tong Mo buried her head in Li Zijue’s chest in embarrassment and distress.

Li Zijue, however, didn’t mind at all, "Let them look, it’s not like we’ll lose a piece of flesh."

"..."

Tong Mo was at a loss for words.

She had thought Li Zijue was taking her home, but his car suddenly made a U-turn.

"Where are you going?"

Tong Mo couldn’t help but ask.

"To the banquet," Li Zijue replied.

"Ah?" Tong Mo puffed up her cheeks in displeasure upon hearing this, "Why go back there?"

She hadn’t forgotten how those upper-class society people had humiliated her just moments ago.

"There’s something important I haven’t done yet," Li Zijue said, driving while giving her a mysterious smile.

"What important thing?" Tong Mo grew curious immediately.

Li Zijue didn’t tell her, merely saying, "You’ll find out soon."

"Oh..."

Tong Mo could only nod in response.

When they arrived, the banquet was still going on.

Li Zijue got out of the car first, then opened the door for Tong Mo.

When she got out, he carefully held up the car frame with his hand, as if he was afraid that her little head might accidentally hit it.

Tong Mo noticed this and felt a surge of sweetness well up inside.

Afterward, she walked arm in arm with Li Zijue towards the banquet.

This time, no one looked at her with the disdain they had before.

There was only envy, thick with admiration!

The Li Family was a noble lineage, and any woman who could marry into the Li Family was considered immensely fortunate.

Tong Mo kept her composure, looking neither arrogant nor flustered.

But in reality, she felt incredibly smug inside.

Hmph!

You guys dared to underestimate me just now!

Li Zijue glanced at her and couldn’t help but chuckle.

What a childlike girl she was.

"Viscount," Lady Li approached them as they returned, walking quickly with an elegant smile on her face. She looked at Tong Mo and said affectionately, "Momo, I misunderstood you just now. Please don’t take it to heart."

"Of course not." Perhaps because the woman in front of her was the mother of the man she liked, Tong Mo looked at her more favorably, hurriedly acting sweet and saying.

Her gracious and humble demeanor won Lady Li’s favor even more, and without further ado, she took off the platinum diamond bracelet on her wrist and put it on Tong Mo’s, "Good girl, take it."

"No, no, no, this is too valuable," Tong Mo hastily tried to give it back.

"It’s not valuable," but Lady Li pushed it back to her again.

Just as Tong Mo was feeling awkward about it, Li Zijue quickly spoke out to smooth things over, "It’s my mother’s wish, please take it."

"Then I shall humbly accept," Tong Mo said, feigning a shy and timid look as she took the bracelet.

In her heart, though: "Dang it! She really didn’t want to stay here for another second!"

Tong Mo had always been wild at heart and could hardly bear such a polite, constrained, and rule-bound setting.

Li Zijue could clearly see the girl was about to lose it. After narrowing his long eyes for a moment, he started to act.

Suddenly, he went down on one knee in front of Tong Mo.

"Oh my goodness!"

At the side, Lady Li was almost scared to death by his action and looked in disbelief at her son kneeling on one knee.

She had never seen her son act so humbly before.

With that thought, Lady Li’s gaze became complicated.

It seemed that Tong Mo really mattered to him.
