Chapter 139: 139 Grocery Shopping (Second update, off-topic.)

Actually, this was also Mr. Mo’s first time stepping into a fresh food supermarket and the first time he personally bought groceries.

It was mealtime, but there weren’t many people in the supermarket.

"What would you like to eat? Fish, shrimp, or crab?" Mo Zhixuan stood in the seafood section, looking at the shrimp and fish in front of him as he asked for Chu Jin’s opinion.

"Hmm, let’s go with shrimp, though this crab looks pretty good too. It’s just that it’s not the right season yet, and the taste definitely won’t be as good as in autumn..." Chu Jin’s gaze lingered between the shrimp and crab, indecisive.

The man consulted her on almost every item he picked, so, gradually, she had gotten used to it.

Actually, this was quite nice. The two of them were like friends, strolling through the supermarket, shopping, and their moods also became more pleasant.

Moreover, they got along smoothly, without any awkwardness, as if... they were old friends who had known each other for a long time.

"Excuse me," Mo Zhixuan pointed at the shrimp and crab in front of him and said to the chubby uncle beside him, "I’ll take both."

Chu Jin looked up at Mo Zhixuan, feeling like she was witnessing an overbearing CEO in action.

"Alrighty." The chubby uncle chuckled as he rolled up his sleeves and deftly began preparing the shrimp and crab.

After purchasing these items, the two of them picked some vegetables and eventually went home with their bags full.

By the time they arrived at Mo Zhixuan’s villa, it was already past 7 in the evening.

This was different from the apartment last time.

This was a famous affluent district in Capital City, where real estate was worth its weight in gold, and the villas were restricted purchases.

Even with money, it was hard to buy one.

The door was opened by a slightly plump middle-aged woman, smiling warmly, her features kind and benevolent.

"Sir, you’re back."

Mo Zhixuan nodded slightly at her, "Aunt Zhang."

Aunt Zhang hastily took the bags from Mo Zhixuan and, while welcoming him inside, said, "You haven’t been here for quite some time, sir. What would you like for dinner tonight? I’ll cook for you."

Mo Zhixuan loosened his tie, while taking off his suit jacket to hang on the coat rack near the entrance, he said, "No need to trouble yourself, Aunt Zhang, just cook these vegetables I bought. Do you prefer sweet or spicy?"

The first part was to Aunt Zhang, and the second he addressed to Chu Jin.

"Hmm, spicy, please." A clear, melodic female voice filled the air.

Only then did Aunt Zhang notice the unfamiliar presence in the villa.

Having worked here for so many years, this was the first time she had seen the gentleman bring a woman home. She felt both excited and thrilled.

Looking at Chu Jin, she revealed a contented smile, "Alright, alright, spicy it is. My hometown is in Southern Hunan; I’m best at Hunan cuisine. I’ll go prepare it right now."

Chu Jin smiled politely at her, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang."

"No trouble at all," Aunt Zhang cheerfully replied.

With that, she took the bags and entered the kitchen.

The gentleman had finally seen the light. Even though this young lady looked young, she had a pleasing face.

Not only did she have clear and distinct features, and eyes as if painted, but she also had an outstanding demeanor and was well-educated.

She obviously came from a reputable family.

Standing next to the gentleman, they indeed appeared to be a well-matched couple.

Mo Zhixuan led Chu Jin into the living room, "Have a seat here, I’ll get you some water. What would you like to drink? Freshly squeezed juice or milk?"

Chu Jin leaned back into the soft leather sofa and didn’t bother with formalities, saying directly, "Juice, please. Thank you."

A public service news story was playing on the crystal-clear television mounted on the wall.

Chu Jin’s gaze quickly got drawn to it; it was a story about left-behind children in impoverished mountainous areas.

Having been born into a family of wealth and privilege, this was the first time she learned that there were such poor and miserable places in the mountainous regions of Hua Nation.

Even three meals a day had become a luxury to yearn for.

The look of purity and eagerness for knowledge in the children’s eyes deeply moved her.

Inside, it felt as if something had been overturned, a mixture of all kinds of emotions.

In her previous life, she had devoted all her heart to Shen Lingtian, never paying attention to the changing world outside.

It turned out that for some, the world was heaven, yet for others, it was hell.

The news wasn’t long, just a few short minutes. By the end, a series of bank account numbers were deeply etched in her mind.

As the screen shifted, it changed to a light-hearted and humorous variety show.

The people on the TV were dressed brightly and looked radiant, forming a stark contrast with the scenes just shown.

Just then, a figure stopped in front of her. The man handed her the orange juice, and noticing the hint of moisture in her eyes, he asked, "What’s the matter?"

Chu Jin took the orange juice and her lips curved into a radiant smile, "It’s nothing, I’m just a bit tired."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to rub her eyes, indicating that she really was very tired.

Mo Zhixuan let out a soft sigh, suppressing the urge to ruffle her hair, "I have something to take care of and will step out for a bit. You can watch TV here, and if you get bored, there’s a computer in the study. I’ll be right back."

Chu Jin nodded obediently, "Okay, go ahead, don’t worry about me."

As he reached the door, Mo Zhixuan paused as if he had remembered something, turned back, took his mobile phone out of his pocket, and placed it in Chu Jin’s hand, "There’s no password; feel free to download whatever games you like."

After saying this, he didn’t wait for Chu Jin’s reaction and turned to leave.

Chu Jin looked at the black mobile phone in her hand, still slightly cool to the touch, and was momentarily taken aback.

Is it really okay to let someone else use such a personal item as a phone so casually?

Just then, a doorbell sounded from outside.

Aunt Zhang, who was in the midst of cooking, was about to put down her spatula to answer the door, but Chu Jin stopped her, "Aunt Zhang, let me go. You’re busy."

Aunt Zhang put down her spatula, "I should go, you’re our guest; how can we bother you to open the door."

Chu Jin replied playfully, smiling, "It’s no trouble, I’ll go. You focus on your cooking; otherwise, if the dish burns, I might have to leave a bad review."

Seeing her insistence, Aunt Zhang no longer persisted, "Alright then, we’ll trouble you."

Aunt Zhang genuinely treated Chu Jin as the future lady of the house, so she used polite language when she spoke to her.

Chu Jin ran to open the door. As soon as the door swung open, a discontented voice said, "Mom, why did you take so long to answer the door? I’ve been waiting forever! My legs are getting sore... "

As the young woman looked up, her words abruptly stopped, and her smile froze on her face.

"Who are you?" The young woman’s voice was filled with wariness. Could she be a new maid hired for the villa?
