Chapter 52 - TOUCHED

Tang Yutong was annoyed by Tang Lixue's act of pretending to be pitiful. She didn't want to argue with her anymore and didn't want to let her heart be disturbed by whatever she said or did. She just rolled her eyes in her heart and turned around to leave.

"Does Tang Lixue think she's the lead actress in a Qiong Yao drama?"

Tang Yutong couldn't help but sigh as she left resolutely. "It's already this day and age, who would fall for this kind of act!"

Watching her leave, Tang Lixue couldn't help but feel surprised. In her mind, Tang Yutong would either be very angry or argue with her and have a big fight. It never occurred to her that Tang Yutong would just ignore her and leave.

...

"Mr. Mo, there's a banquet tonight regarding the internal affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. You haven't attended any of the Chamber's events for a while now. As the Mo Group holds a significant position in the Chamber, it's not good for you not to attend!"

The assistant stood in front of Mo Jin's desk, feeling a bit embarrassed as he reminded him.

"What's not good about it?"

Mo Jin stopped flipping through the documents with his slender fingers and looked up at the assistant in front of his desk, coldly asking.

"Ahem, ahem!"

After clearing his throat, the assistant slowly explained, "If the Mo Group cooperates with other groups in the Chamber of Commerce in the future, it would be awkward if you don't attend. It would also be difficult to ask for help if we need it in the future."

After listening to his explanation, Mo Jin nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, I got it. What time? This time, you better show up and from now on, you need to turn down these kinds of invitations for me," said Mo Jin while still looking at the documents in front of him.

He didn't care how people from other companies viewed his Mo Group.

"Tonight at 7 pm, Mr. Mo. I understand. I think if you show up this time, those people will be grateful and respectful towards you, and there won't be any more objections," said his assistant before bowing and leaving the office.

Mo Jin paused for a moment. Going to a party alone with all the lights and wine might make him feel lonely. Suddenly, the image of Tang Yutong appeared in his mind.

"Taking Mrs. Mo to the party sounds like a good idea!" Mo Jin thought to himself with a playful smile on his face.

The party, which he found boring before, suddenly piqued his interest.

After finishing his work, Mo Jin took Tang Yutong with him to the party.

"What?" Tang Yutong was surprised and asked Mo Jin repeatedly, "Mo Jin, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Mo Jin, why are you like this? Why didn't you tell me earlier so I could prepare? Do you want me to embarrass you?" she continued to question him.

"You deliberately want to see me make a fool of myself, don't you? Mo Jin, you're really terrible! How could you be so malicious?" she exclaimed.

Mo Jin sat beside her, scrolling through his phone, either checking the stock market or the latest financial news from around the world.

He remained calm as if Tang Yutong's words had been thrown behind the car with the exhaust fumes.

"Hey!"

Tang Yutong grabbed his arm and shook it twice, asking, "Are you pretending not to hear me?"

"Tang Yutong, you are my wife, and there's nothing wrong with me taking you to a party! What are you babbling about over there?"

Mo Jin put away his phone and questioned her with his head tilted.

"You want me to attend the party dressed like this?"

Tang Yutong looked at Mo Jin with a pitiful expression, pouting her lips and asking softly.

She bit her lower lip, and her meaning couldn't have been clearer.

"Let's go to the mall before the party!"

Mo Jin looked at her coquettish appearance and felt happy. He turned his head and instructed the driver.

"I thought this girl didn't want to come. It turns out she's doing it for..."

Mo Jin silently thought, "Right, clothes make the man, and my wife Tang Yutong can't be inferior to anyone at a party like this!"

If Tang Yutong went to buy a dress and do her hair, there would be just enough time.

But Mo Jin couldn't resist her coquettishness and couldn't bear to see his woman inferior to others, so he went to buy a new outfit and arrived at the party late.

"Mr. Mo, you finally made it!"

A middle-aged man holding a champagne glass greeted Mo Jin as he walked in. "I've been waiting for you all night!"

"Excuse me, my wife suddenly felt unwell, so I took her to see a doctor and it delayed me for some time," Mo Jin explained, taking a glass of champagne from the tray held by a nearby waiter and clinking it with the man he was talking to.

Tang Yutong followed him, looking around the entire party. As a bold and confident girl, she didn't have the typical shyness and coquettishness of a young girl. Her tomboyish personality made her fearless, and she didn't feel nervous at all.

Stage fright? No way.

The person who had just come over to chat with Mo Jin was not the only one waiting for his arrival. Almost everyone at the party was eagerly anticipating his arrival, including Tang Jinyu.

He stood alone on the side, swaying a martini glass in his hand, but his clear eyes were fixed on a certain spot. Tang Jinyu had been paying attention and when he heard that Mo Jin had arrived, he quickly turned his gaze towards him.

During his observation of Mo Jin, he unexpectedly discovered the unique girl beside him. "Although this girl is dressed in a cold and noble manner, with a delicate face and a remarkable temperament, why did she come in with Mo Jin? Could it be that they...?" Tang Jinyu stood not far away, unable to resist the great interest he had in this mysterious girl beside Mo Jin.

He raised his glass and took a sip before striding over to the girl's side. "Excuse me, miss, I don't think I've met you at this party before. May I know your name?" Tang Jinyu asked coldly, looking down at Tang Yutong.

"Do you have any problem with seeing me? You haven't seen me before, but now you have, haven't you?" Tang Yutong replied confidently, showing no fear.

"Heh," Tang Jinyu sneered. "This is not an event that just anyone can attend. How do I know if you're a commercial female spy dressed up to attract attention?"

"Tang Jinyu, don't be ridiculous!" Before Tang Yutong could say anything, Mo Jin stepped in and warned him sternly.

"See?" Tang Jinyu retorted, "You're really something. You've even managed to seduce the CEO of the Mo Group!"

Mo Jin immediately stepped in front of Tang Yutong and explained, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, even if my wife is a commercial female spy, she would only be interested in monitoring the Mo Group. She wouldn't bother with any other insignificant companies."

His protective husband skills were triggered.

As he spoke, Tang Yutong couldn't help but look up at his handsome profile, his lips moving gracefully. His defense of her made her feel warm and touched.
