TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS

Chapter 67: Sugar-plated Bombs

"Sorry to trouble you again."

“That's no problem.” Tang Moling listened to them as he drove. Halfway through, he asked Mu Jingzhe to help him look for something.

Mu Jingzhe accidentally found a pearl bracelet as he rummaged through the items.

Tang Moling glanced at him and casually said, “This is a pearl bracelet. Take it if you like it.”

Although he might look indifferent on the surface, he was actually carefully observing Mu Jingzhe's expression in the mirror.

He did it intentionally. He had decided to work harder to uncover his true color, so when buying Mu Xue a pearl necklace, he thought of Mu Jingzhe and bought this bracelet as well.

The pearls on these bracelets were much smaller than those on other necklaces and not very valuable, but to someone with Mu Jingzhe status, this was already a rare item.

He would definitely fall in love if he was short-sighted.

The bracelet would look good on Mu Jingzhe's slender and fair wrist. Any girl would be tempted.

In the end, Mu Jingzhe only glanced at him strangely. "Thank you, but no need."

Is this really a trap? Is that a sugar-coated bomb? Or is he trying to trick her or something?

However, he had not provoked Mu Xue in the past few days. With that thought in mind, Mu Jingzhe placed the bracelet back very carefully to avoid giving it a chance to blackmail it.

Tang Moling: “???”

He could not help but tilt his head. “You don't like it?”

"No, it looks pretty good."

“Then why don't you want it?” Tang Moling glanced at him. “I'm in a good mood today. That's why I said I'd give it to you. ”

He then said meaningfully, "Don't worry, this is nothing."

Mu Jingzhe laughed. "Yes I know."

'I know very well how rich you are because I have read the novel. I don't need you to say that to me. I will have money in the future too!'

Mu Jingzhe clenched his fists.

Tang Moling raised his eyebrows upon seeing his actions. “Nona, if you like, just take it. No need to hold back. Go ahead and take it. It's just a small item.”

His tone was wild and arrogant. Mu Jingzhe could not help but laugh.

Did he just call her 'woman'? Gosh, he really sounds like the male protagonist of a novel filled with sweet and affectionate love!

It wasn't too bad when she read it in the novel, but hearing it say it was in fact too tacky and funny.

It made Mu Jingzhe feel like he was watching an ancient idol drama.

“Ha ha ha...” The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help but laugh.

Tang Moling: "What are you laughing at?"

Can he see through his plan? But it doesn't look like it. Looks like he laughed at her.

He actually dared to laugh at her?

Seeing his dark expression, Mu Jingzhe quickly held back his laughter. "Ahem, I just remembered a joke."

Tang Moling did not feel comforted by this.

After all, this was completely different from what he had imagined. He had planned very carefully to see her fool herself, but in the end, he was the one who was considered a joke?

Tang Moling pursed his lips. It doesn't matter if the first attempt fails. He could try a second or third time. Surely he wouldn't continue acting like this?

Therefore, he 'crashed' Mu Jingzhe again in the afternoon. Upon seeing him and the children were holding two cans of fruit as if they were treasures, he said, he snorted in his heart and asked casually if they wanted to go to the best restaurant in the county to eat.

Seeing how much they appreciated something like canned fruit, Tang Moling felt that Mu Jingzhe and the children would definitely not refuse.

In the end ..he was rejected again, and they happily left with their precious canned fruits.

Tang Moling: "Is canned fruit really tasty?"

After failing to reach his goal, Tang Moling was so angry that he slammed the steering wheel.

He then casually gave her some gifts, including lipstick and perfume, things that the girls were hard to resist.

However, Mu Jingzhe still refused without hesitation.

Tang Moling started to suspect himself. How could Mu Jingzhe remain unmoved in the face of items that even a young miss would be tempted into?

However, Mu Jingzhe was indeed unmoved. He had seen everything in the modern era, and even if he was tempted, he would refuse. After all, those things belonged to the male lead, and he was merely a supporting character.

After being rejected three times, Tang Moling was increasingly determined to expose his true colors.

After some reflection, he changed his strategy and started giving gifts aimed at children—such as calligraphy papers and pens that are very beneficial for children.

Mu Jingzhe could not resist this time, and Tang Moling finally felt better.

However ... she immediately received Mu Jingzhe's reciprocal gift.

The best local tea leaves and special ginseng grapes are said to work wonders for the body. Now, they're balanced.

Tang Moling could bring the tea leaves and ginseng wine back with him and give it to his family or anyone he liked.

The value of this gift was equivalent to the value of a pen, so he did not take advantage of it.

Tang Moling finally understood what kind of person Mu Jingzhe was.

Who said he was a shallow thinker and purposely pretended to ignore him to attract his attention? It's not like that.

He has his own thoughts and knows what he is doing.

He had not managed to expose his true color. Instead, he completely understood Mu Jingzhe. Over time, she becomes increasingly attracted to him and finds it increasingly difficult to hate him.

After all, he was sincere from the start and really treated the children very well. Furthermore, his knowledge and the way he spoke were completely different from what he had imagined. His knowledge and upbringing far exceeded his imagination.

He would sometimes show off what he knew, but in the end, he knew everything. He could hold conversations on all sorts of topics, as if he knew everything. Moreover, he had many opinions that he had never heard before.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, he had a lot in common with Mu Jingzhe, even more so than with Mu Xue.

Not only is he knowledgeable, but he will also say things that sometimes inspire and amaze him.

Tang Moling was conflicted.

Meanwhile, Mu Jingzhe's attention was entirely focused on the children's final exams.

The final exam is on schedule. Although he knew that their results were pretty good, Shao Nan and Little Bei had to take the class jump test this time around. They have to do well in order to make it past the value.

Seeing their younger siblings working so hard, Shao Dong and Shao Xi also did not want to miss out. Even before the fourth grade started, they already planned to skip out and move up to the fifth grade next year.

Mu Jingzhe was nervous as well.

After the stressful exam was over, the children were quite confident. When Little Bei came back, he said, "Mom, when school starts, I'll be in third grade."

"Me too" added Shao Nan.

"You guys are amazing, but don't work too hard."

Mu Jingzhe praised them but did not destroy their confidence. “You are young. You can do it slowly. No need to rush. Regardless of whether you miss a grade or not, you are the best.

“You guys have been working hard for the last two days. I'll kill a chicken tonight to feed your body.” He could also take this opportunity to let Shao Dong eat his drumsticks.

Shao Dong also thought about it when he heard that. He scratched his head. “It was just a test. It wasn't difficult.”

In the past, no one cared if they succeeded in the exam. Zhao Lan would definitely not praise them or say that they had worked hard.

Yet now, Mu Jingzhe even wanted to kill a chicken. It's too big.

“Why don't we eat it after the results come out?” Shao Xi, who also did not consider the exam to be tough for them, suggested.

“We will eat chicken again when the results come out.” Mu Jingzhe waved his hand. "It's okay. Our family is raising chickens now, so we have no shortage of them. We can always improve others later. ”

Xiao Wu clapped his hands and said that his brothers had worked hard. He couldn't help but ask Mu Jingzhe.

"Mom, when can I go to school? I want school too. I also want to print 100.”

He also wanted me to praise him!
