Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Come Back for a Blind Date!

“Jian, I suddenly feel like I got married too early!” Xia Mengjiao started, her voice laced with disappointment.

“What’s gotten into you all of a sudden? Is Chu Liyuan giving you a hard time?”

“No! If I hadn’t gotten married, I could be your bridesmaid! Now, with this big belly, I can’t do anything.”

“You do realize how heartbroken Liyuan would be if he heard you, right? You regret marrying him just so you could be my bridesmaid!”

“I was just speaking offhand. You absolutely cannot tell him, okay?”

“Don’t worry! I’ll keep it a secret for you!”

“That’s a relief~

By the way, it’s been so long since that lass, Mo Mo, left. There hasn’t been any news from her – I have no idea how she’s been!”

“Yeah! I was waiting for her to come back and join my bridesmaid squad!”

As they talked, Jian Dan’s phone rang…

“You really shouldn’t speak of the devil in broad daylight. See who’s calling!” Jian Dan showed Xia Mengjiao the caller ID on her phone.

She hit the answer button. “Mo Mo, you haven’t forgotten us, have you? It’s been so long since you’ve been in touch!”

“I’m back!”

“You’re back? When did you get back? How come you didn’t tell us?”

“Yesterday!”

“Don’t tell me you rushed back just because you heard I was getting married!” Jian Dan was planning to call her in the next couple of days.

“Of course, that’s the main reason, but there’s something else~”

“What is it? You’re not about to announce some great news too, are you?”

“It’s hard to explain over the phone. Let’s talk when we meet!”

“Sure! Let’s meet at our usual spot!”

“Okay, see you in a bit!”

After hanging up, Jian Dan and Xia Mengjiao went to the place they used to go for afternoon tea.

When they got there, they found that Mo Mo had already arrived.

“Mo Mo, you sneaky lass, disappearing for months without any news! Couldn’t you have at least called?” That was Xia Mengjiao’s first sentence upon seeing Mo Mo.

“Wow, your belly is so big now.”

“Look at you, deflecting like a pro!”

Mo Mo pulled them both into a hug. “I’ve missed you guys so much!”

“Missed us, without even giving us a call!”

“Well, I’m back now, aren’t I? You can punish me however you want; I accept it all. What do you say?”

“First things first, tell us what’s going on with you? How’s it going with Ling Xiaoyang? And you mentioned you’re back for another reason – what is it?”

“Besides attending your wedding, I also have to go on arranged dates!”

“Arranged dates??” Jian Dan and Xia Mengjiao exclaimed together, their voices louder than they intended, drawing glances from nearby people.

“Keep it down, you two. What’s with the shock and awe?”

“It’s just… weren’t you and Ling Xiaoyang together in Switzerland? How come you suddenly returned for arranged dates?”

“I gave up~” Mo Mo said with an air of nonchalance.

“What do you mean?”

“Just what it sounds like. I’ve decided to give up on Ling Xiaoyang!”

“But you really liked him, right? You took care of him, went to Switzerland with him – how could you just give up all of a sudden?”

“If he doesn’t like me, no matter what I do or how long I stay by his side, it’s pointless.” Mo Mo’s tone had clearly changed.

“What actually happened?” Previously, Mo Mo was very confident and optimistic, but her demeanor this time seemed quite off.

“It’s not important anymore! I’m fine now! The man my mom arranged for me to meet is really outstanding; he might just be my other half, you know?” Although Mo Mo’s face wore a smile, Jian Dan and Xia Mengjiao could tell she was putting on a brave front.

“But you’re in love with Xiaoyang!”

“Love can be cultivated slowly, right? And I’ve realized that maybe I didn’t like Ling Xiaoyang that much, after all!”

“But…”

“Oh, come on, no more buts. Give me some confidence, don’t douse me with cold water. I’ve already made an appointment with him; he’ll be here soon. You guys just sit over there and give me a hand!”

“What? You’ve already made an appointment?”

“Yeah! It’s about time. You two go ahead!”

Jian Dan and Xia Mengjiao were ushered to another table by Mo Mo…
