Time Travel and Love

Chapter 498 Song Wanwan

The next day, Chu Qingmeng still stayed in bed. Mo Liujin half leaned on the soft cushion, holding a book in one hand and the other on her shoulder.

When she woke up, it was already 9:00 PM.

"Ajin." Chu Qingmeng's voice was hoarse from just waking up.

"Yeah." Mo Liujin gently pinched her shoulder, "Do you want to lie down for a while or get up now?"

"What time is it?"

"It's time."

"Get up, get up. We agreed to go out and play today."

Looking at her quickly sitting up from the bed, Mo Liujin found it funny that she was still so childish even after putting aside her important work.

The two of them went out in a carriage. Their first stop was naturally the wonton stall. After eating and drinking their fill, Chu Qingmeng felt much warmer. He took Mo Liujin for a stroll and happily bought small items worth a few cents.

"I want to eat rice cakes~" Chu Qingmeng's eyes almost popped out as he smelled the aroma of the rice cakes just out of the pot.

"Okay, little greedy cat." Mo Liujin pinched her nose helplessly, his tone doting. Obviously, the chef in the mansion could make it, but she just wanted to eat outside.

Chu Qingmeng took off her veil and ate as she walked. Mo Liujin followed her, casually wiping away the crumbs from the corner of her lips. When he wasn't involved in the battle for the throne, she would occasionally accompany her out, and she would look like this. Perhaps Qingmeng had always pursued a simple happiness, and in the end, he had wronged her.

"I heard that the Treasure Pavilion has a new batch of jewelry. Would you like to go and have a look?" Mo Liujin had just finished speaking when she stuffed a piece of rice cake into his mouth.

"Okay, let's go check it out. Is it delicious?"

Mo Liujin swallowed the rice cake in his mouth and then spoke, "It's delicious. How many of your favorite foods are not delicious?"

"That's right! This isn't the first day I've been picky about food."

Her arrogant little expression was clearly visible to Mo Liujin. He reached out and took her into his arms and put on the veil again. The two of them walked towards the Treasure Pavilion hand in hand.

Treasure Pavilion is the largest jewelry store in Beijing, with a lot of people coming and going every day. For people of Chu Qingmeng and Mo Liujin's status, there is no need to look at the counter downstairs, but Chu Qingmeng insisted on looking around downstairs for himself.

After looking for a long time, Chu Qingmeng chose a pair of earrings with small red gold lotus flowers and drop-shaped mutton-fat jade pendants. The yellow and white color combination was just right.

Mo Liujin put it on Chu Qingmeng a little clumsily, being careful not to hurt her. "Madam, your taste is better than mine."

Chu Qingmeng's lips curved up as she admired herself in the mirror. Mo Liujin gestured for the shop assistant to take out the bracelets he had custom-made earlier: a pair of hollowed-out red gold lotus bracelets. He grabbed Chu Qingmeng's hand and put them on her. "Do you like them?"

Chu Qingmeng raised an eyebrow. She had just looked around and hadn't seen this bracelet before. "I like it, why didn't I see it just now?"

"I drew the picture and asked them to make it." Mo Liujin took Chu Qingmeng's other hand and put on the remaining bracelet. "There are some other things that I asked them to send to your house. When you've had enough of shopping, we can go home and take a look."

Chu Qingmeng saw the deep affection in his eyes and was about to speak when a female voice interrupted her, "Cousin? Is it really you?!"

The moment the woman pounced, Mo Liujin took a step back while holding Chu Qingmeng, and the woman missed and fell to the ground.

"Cousin~" The woman said with aggrieved voice, and the maid beside her hurriedly helped her up.

"Are you hurt?" Although Mo Liujin knew that he hugged her too quickly, the woman's armor was too long. If Qingmeng was hurt... He checked Chu Qingmeng's face and neck carefully with lingering fear. Seeing that there were no scars, he breathed a sigh of relief, put her down, and looked at the woman with a cold face.

"Cousin! I'm Wanwan!" Song Wanwan looked at Mo Liujin with an aggrieved expression.

Chu Qingmeng raised his eyebrows. This girl looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, yet she was actually interested in Mo Liujin, this 'old man'?

Seeing Chu Qingmeng's playful eyes, Mo Liujin quickly brainstormed and confirmed that he really didn't know the person in front of him. He shook his head at Chu Qingmeng and said, "I don't know her."

"Cousin, my mother is Liu Die." Seeing that Mo Liujin really couldn't remember who she was, the woman hurriedly reminded him.

Mo Liujin frowned and spoke coldly, "I remember that my aunt's daughter is over thirty years old and has already married and had children. Moreover, my aunt's family is all in Jiangzhou. How could you appear in the capital? So you must not be my aunt's daughter."

Song Wanwan's face froze for a moment, and she whispered, "My mother is my stepmother. We moved to the capital a month ago."

Mo Liujin's brows furrowed even deeper upon hearing this. "Since you're my aunt's daughter, you should have boudoir etiquette ingrained in your bones! How can you pounce on a man like this in public?!"

Boudoir etiquette? Chu Qingmeng gave Mo Liujin a meaningful look. When she went to Zhu County to find him, she threw herself at him the first time they met, and she had never heard him mention any boudoir etiquette.

"Cousin...cousin...I'm sorry...I'm just so happy to see you..." Song Wanwan's tears came and she gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief, looking very delicate.

Chu Qingmeng: "..."

I don't understand, I don't understand, how can a young girl be so narrow-minded and have to hook up with an "old man". If she fell in love with Jiang Qing and Jiang Che like Dong Mingzhu, I wouldn't think she was narrow-minded.
