Eun Jing smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. She looked at Xu Mo, who was eating quietly, as if she hadn't noticed the conversation. Enjing had mixed feelings in her heart, she knew Xu Mo's emotional boundaries for herself, but she couldn't help but imagine how good it would be if Xu Mo was her lover.

At this time, Eun Jing's mother suddenly had an idea and proposed: "Eun Jing, didn't you mention last time that you have a very good partner?" Mom remembers that you said that he is smart and capable, and takes good care of you, so it is better to invite him to sit at home, and let his parents see it and give us a staff officer. ”

Enjing was stunned for a moment, looking at her mother's eager eyes, she hesitated for a few seconds, and then looked at Xu Mo, Xu Mo felt Enjing's gaze, and raised his eyes to meet her gaze. He put down his chopsticks, nodded slightly, and said calmly, "Enjing, if you need my help, I'll be happy to do it." ”

After receiving Xu Mo's affirmative answer, Enjing breathed a sigh of relief, and she responded gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Xu Mo, then please accompany me to act in a play, temporarily act as my boyfriend, and help me deal with my parents." ”

Xu Mo smiled slightly, as if he didn't mind this sudden situation, but said with interest: "Don't worry, Enjing, I will do my best to cooperate." ”

So, under the expectation of Enjing's parents, Xu Mo appeared at home as Enjing's boyfriend. He behaves elegantly, talks appropriately, and is considerate to Eunjing, which perfectly interprets the image of an ideal boyfriend. Enjing's parents saw it in their eyes, were happy in their hearts, and praised Xu Mo.

However, as time passed, Enjing found that her feelings for Xu Mo seemed to have quietly changed in the process of fake play. And whether Xu Mo also fell into this emotional entanglement, or whether he still maintained that reason and distance, all of this became an unsolved mystery hanging in Enjing's heart.

Enjing's parents are increasingly satisfied with Xu Mo, and they have repeatedly mentioned in private that they hope to drink their daughter's wedding wine as soon as possible. Faced with her parents' expectations and her increasingly complicated feelings, Eun Jing could only secretly pray that this temporary "love" game could end smoothly without hurting anyone. And Xu Mo's inner world is also undergoing subtle changes at the moment, will he choose to break the original boundaries and bravely accept this true emotion?

After dinner, Enjing and Xu Mo sat on the sofa in the living room, Enjing mustered up her courage and asked softly: "Brother Xu Mo, do you think we will go on like this...... A little too much? ”

Xu Mo turned his head to look at Enjing, his deep eyes revealed an indescribable emotion, and he slowly spoke: "Enjing, everything between us is to help you deal with the pressure of your parents' urging to marry. But I must admit that this time together has given me a deeper understanding and appreciation of you. As for the future, I think we need time to think and choose. ”

Eun Jing looked at Xu Mo, her heart beating faster, she knew that this relationship was about to usher in a new turning point, and how this turn would affect their future, no one could predict.

After Enjing dealt with the competition turmoil with the island food company and successfully stepped into the challenge of the specialty food supply chain, life ushered in a new episode. On this day, Eunjing received an invitation to a high school reunion. Despite the anticipation and apprehension of this party, Eun Jing knew that her classmates would inevitably be curious about her personal life, especially her emotional state.

Therefore, Enjing found Xu Mo again, showed a hint of shyness and hesitation, and made a special request to him: "Brother Xu Mo, I received an invitation to a high school reunion, you know, they will definitely ask me if I have a boyfriend." You helped me cope with my parents last time, can you help me again this time and pretend to be my boyfriend at this party? ”

Hearing this, Xu Mo thought for a moment, he looked at the nervousness and expectation flickering in Enjing's eyes, and smiled gently: "Enjing, do you really feel the need to do this?" However, since you have opened your mouth, I will naturally help you. ”

On the day of the party, Enjing dressed up carefully and walked into the hotel banquet hall with Xu Mo, who was wearing a straight suit. As soon as they entered, Enjing's former classmates cast surprised and envious glances. With his outstanding temperament and self-cultivation, Xu Mo quickly won the favor of Enjing's classmates.

At the dinner table, Enjing's classmates had a heated discussion around the topic of Enjing and Xu Mo, and some people constantly praised Xu Mo's talent, maturity and stability. Listening to these compliments, Enjing glanced at Xu Mo, who was calm and comfortable beside her, and an inexplicable pride appeared in her heart.

A former friend quipped: "Eun Jing, you really have a hidden treasure, why haven't you heard such a good boyfriend mention it before?" ”

Enjing pretended to look at Xu Mo with disgust, and responded: "Oh, you also know that I am a low-key person, besides, Brother Xu Mo is my work partner, and I don't want to bring my private life to work." ”

Xu Mo answered in time, he raised the red wine glass in his hand and greeted everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your care and love for Enjing. Enjing and I are not only partners at work, but also friends in life, and we will support each other and make progress together. ”

The atmosphere of the party became more and more harmonious under the drive of Xu Mo, and Enjing also took this opportunity to show her independent and confident side, as well as the tacit understanding with Xu Mo that transcended ordinary friendship. Towards the end of the party, Eun Jing met her high school crush at the door of the bathroom, and the other party looked at Xu Mo beside Eun Jing, and a trace of depression flashed across her face.

The crush politely said to Eun Jing: "Eun Jing, it seems that you are doing well now, this is your boyfriend, really good." ”

Enjing responded calmly: "Thank you for your blessings, Xu Mo is indeed a very good friend and partner." We have all found our own direction in life and our way of happiness. ”

Just as the atmosphere of the party reached a climax, and Enjing and Xu Mo were easily coping with the ridicule and blessings of their classmates, suddenly, a sharp voice broke the harmonious atmosphere: "Yo, isn't this Enjing?" I remember when you were in school, your grades were average, but I didn't expect you to mix quite well now, and even found such a boyfriend. It was Enjing's former classmate who spoke, Lin Haoran, a person who always likes to show off his family background and belittle others.

Lin Haoran walked towards Enjing and Xu Mo, looked Xu Mo up and down, and said with a little provocation: "I said Xu Mo, right?" It does look human, but the packaging technology is superb in these years, who knows the details? Eun Jing, don't be fooled by superficial efforts. ”

Enjing frowned, dissatisfied with Lin Haoran's rudeness, but she still remained calm and responded: "Lin Haoran, everyone has their own lifestyle and choices, and Brother Xu Mo and I came together based on mutual respect and trust. I know better than anyone what he is and what he can do, and I don't need you to point fingers here. ”

Xu Mo's face was flat, and he said politely and majestically: "Lin Haoran, the relationship between me and Enjing is a matter for the two of us, and it is not your turn to put your beak." The 'Fusion House' we operate always adheres to quality first and service first, which is also the foundation of our foothold in the industry. In the same way, when it comes to friendship and love, we are equally sincere and respectful. If you just want to find fault with this party, then I advise you to save your energy and enjoy this party. ”

Lin Haoran was speechless by Xu Mo's words, and the surrounding classmates also expressed dissatisfaction with Lin Haoran's behavior, and the atmosphere of the party returned to joy and cordiality. Enjing glanced at Xu Mo gratefully, he not only skillfully resolved the embarrassment, but also more effectively maintained her dignity.

After the party, Enjing held Xu Mo's hand and said gratefully: "Brother Xu Mo, thank you for helping me out of the siege today, and helping me earn back face in front of my classmates." ”

Xu Mo smiled mildly and patted the back of Enjing's hand gently: "Enjing, we are partners who fight side by side, and your business is my business." And I'm happy to stand up for you. Remember, no matter when and where, we must believe in ourselves and move forward steadfastly. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and raised their glasses to drink together, and Enjing's admiration and dependence on Xu Mo deepened again, and Xu Mo proved his reliability as a friend and partner with practical actions.

On the streets at night, the neon lights flashed, and Enjing and Xu Mo walked out of the party scene and blended into the night of the bustling city. The two walked through the streets, reminiscing about the happy time at the party, and Eunjing's mood was particularly relaxed and happy.

A black limousine quietly stopped not far behind them, the window lowered, and a greasy face appeared in the window, staring greedily at Eunjing. The man claimed to be a powerful local tycoon, and unabashedly expressed his coveting of Eun Jing's beauty, and even arrogantly offered to take Eun Jing to a high-class party.

Eun Jing's face sank, and she coldly rejected the other party's unreasonable request. However, the man did not stop there, and instead threatened that if Eun Jing did not comply, he would cause problems for the "House of Fusion".

The crisis came in an instant, and Enjing instinctively leaned towards Xu Mo beside her, feeling his solidity and stability. A cold light flashed in Xu Mo's eyes, he stepped forward to block in front of Enjing, and responded in a resolute tone: "I'm sorry, Miss Enjing can't go with you, we have our own principles and bottom line." ”

Seeing this, the boss's face changed suddenly, and he became angry, and ordered his subordinates to step forward and try to force their hands. However, Xu Mo was in good shape, and after a few rounds, he subdued those with bad intentions to the ground. The crowd of onlookers grew, and someone called the police, who quickly arrived at the scene and brought the situation under control.

After solving this sudden crisis, Enjing held Xu Mo's hand tightly and looked at him gratefully and worriedly: "Brother Xu Mo, are you okay?" ”

Xu Mo smiled and shook his head, patted his chest, and looked relaxed: "Don't worry, Enjing, I am more than enough to deal with this kind of person." However, it seems that our lives are not as simple as cooking in a restaurant, and sometimes we also need to deal with these unexpected spices. ”

Enjing smiled bitterly and sighed: "Yes, life is like this, there will always be all kinds of unexpected things happening." But luckily, having you by my side makes me feel very relieved. ”

Xu Mo replied meaningfully: "Enjing, no matter what kind of predicament you face, I will stand by your side and protect your safety." Because we are not only partners, but also reliable friends. ”

The moonlight sprinkled on the two of them, and Enjing looked up at Xu Mo's resolute and gentle face, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knows that this man not only protects her at critical moments, but also silently supports her and accompanies her growth in life.

The two continued to walk home, and tonight's experience undoubtedly deepened the tacit understanding and trust between them. Enjing secretly decided in her heart that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, she would go down with Xu Mo.

The next morning, Enjing was still worried about the unexpected events last night, but Xu Mo proposed: "Enjing, after so many things, I think we should put down work for a while and go on a trip to relax." A change of environment may allow us to see our hearts better. ”

Enjing looked at Xu Mo, a hint of surprise and hesitation flashed in her eyes, "However, we are now at an important stage of career development, and besides, will that big guy take revenge on us for what happened last night?" ”

Xu Mo smiled slightly and said firmly: "Enjing, life is not just about work, proper rest is to go further. As for that big guy, I have already taken precautions, and I believe that he will not dare to do it easily in a short time. It is also an opportunity for us to further enhance our friendship and get to know each other better. ”

Eun Jing thought for a moment and nodded, "You're right, then let's go on a trip together." Where to go? ”

"Remember Jeju Island when you mentioned it? It's a beautiful place to relax and avoid some unnecessary interruptions. Xu Mo suggested.

Eunjing's eyes lit up and she readily agreed, "Okay, let's go to Jeju Island!" ”

So, Eun Jing and Heo Mo embark on a journey to Jeju Island. The moment the plane took off, Enjing breathed a deep sigh of relief, looking at the shrinking city outside the window, her heart was full of expectations for a new life and a deeper trust in Xu Mo.

After arriving at Jeju Island, they rented an open-top sports car and sped along the coastline, feeling the freedom and comfort of the sea breeze. They frolic by the sea, taste local food, experience folk culture, and every moment is full of laughter and emotion.

One night, when they were having a barbecue on the beach, Enjing said to Xu Mo with a slightly drunken sense of alcohol: "Brother Xu Mo, do you know? Without you, I probably wouldn't have been able to make it this far. Your presence is like a beacon to me, illuminating my path forward. ”

Xu Mo stared at Enjing by the bonfire, his eyes flashed with a warm light, he picked up a bottle of beer and gently touched the cup in Enjing's hand, "Enjing, I'm also glad to have you by my side." We go through the ups and downs together and share the joy together, which is the most precious thing. (End of chapter)
