Ditsy Wife: Mysterious Husband is Unfathomable-Chapter 24

Unknown Moral Character

“He’s not a customer!” explained Gong Mo hurriedly, afraid that Mama Gong would hit her.

Sheng Nanxuan smiled and said to Mama Gong, “Hello Auntie, I’m Gong Mo’s boyfriend.”

Upon hearing this, Mama Gong was stunned. After a few seconds, she snapped out of it and pushed Gong Mo towards the storeroom.

Once they were inside, Mama Gong asked, “What’s going on? Isn’t your boyfriend Sheng Donglin? Are you two-timing?”

“I broke up with Sheng Donglin a while back,” said Gong Mo faintly. “You were right. He was only toying with me. I went to his office to look for him one day and found him with another woman.”

She had gone out with Sheng Donglin for one and a half years and had told Mama Gong about this relationship since the start. However, Mama Gong thought that Sheng Donglin would not treat her genuinely because he was a wealthy heir and had hoped that they would break up. Gong Mo had gotten tired of Mama Gong’s constant nagging and gradually stopped updating her with news about her relationship. She had even lied to her about going to Sheng Donglin’s birthday party a few days ago, saying that she was attending a graduation reunion with her classmates.

Now that she thought about it, she had not spoken of Sheng Donglin to Mama Gong in half a year. Mama Gong sometimes asked her about it but she was afraid that Mama would advise her to break up with him and thus she only gave minimal answers. This proved to be quite fortuitous. She could now give Mama Gong the impression that they had broken up a while ago.

As expected, Mama Gong said, “No wonder you hemmed and hawed the last few times I asked you about him. It’s alright if you’ve broken up. I always thought that you two didn’t suit each other anyway. I’m relieved that you’ve broken up with him so why didn’t you tell me?”

“I was scared that you’d nag at me.”

“Who’s that then? He’s so handsome that Little Min is infatuated. He’s probably a good-for-nothing!”

“Ma!” Gong Mo was speechless.

“Fine, fine. You’re still biased towards him, aren’t you?” Mama Gong harrumphed as she walked out. “I’ll go look him over.”

Gong Mo followed her closely at her heels.

“Auntie,” Sheng Nanxuan greeted Mama Gong when he saw her. Seeing that Gong Mo was out too, he called out gently, “Momo.”

Goosebumps erupted all over Gong Mo’s body. She was not used to that. Afraid that Mama Gong would make things difficult for him on purpose, she grabbed her hand. Mama Gong sized Sheng Nanxuan up attentively. She thought to herself, he seems to put on airs and has an unknown moral character.

Mama Gong saw that Little Min had poked her head over to watch them and the owner of the next store was hovering outside her shop as well. Not wanting to be watched like a show, she said to Gong Mo, “Go home with him first. I’ll go buy some groceries.”

“We’ll accompany you, Auntie.” Sheng Nanxuan gave a cultured and refined smile. “Or Auntie could go back to rest first and Momo and I will get them for you.”

Mama Gong was satisfied with his attitude, but still wanted to test him. She put on a stoic face and said, “Let’s go together.”

Gong Mo turned around and took up her mother’s handbag and handed it to her with both hands before holding and leading her out like she was a servant girl waiting upon Empress Dowager Cixi.

After walking for a bit, Mama Gong waved her hand away and asked Sheng Nanxuan, “What’s your name?”

“Nanxuan.”

“Oh… Nanxuan, how long have you dated Gong Mo for?” ƒ𝑟𝐞ewe𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝚎l. 𝒄o𝗺

Gong Mo was shocked. Oh no! They had not discussed this beforehand. What if he exposed her accidentally?

She looked at him nervously.

He replied calmly, “We’ve been dating for a few months. But Gong Mo and I were high school classmates, and I’ve actually had a secret crush on her for a few years now.”

Mama Gong turned back and asked Gong Mo, “Is that so?”

Gong Mo said hurriedly, “Yeah! H-He used to bully me in the past, so I didn’t know that he secretly liked me.”
