Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids

Chapter 770 - 768: Zhou Yaling’s Plea for Help

Suddenly, Zhou Yaling withdrew her thumbs, her expression became sweet and adorable, and she squatted down to pinch Candy’s rosy cheeks.

This sudden show of affection left Candy completely bewildered.

The next second, a voice emerged from behind, and Candy suddenly realized that the person her sister feared the most had arrived.

Just like her, whenever she felt guilty in front of her brother, she would always do something to mask her expression.

"Xiaochun, it’s getting late. I’m heading back with your sister. When you plan on visiting with Candy, be sure to give me a call ahead of time, so I can have your aunt cook something."

Mo Jingchun nodded with a smile, "Sure, it will probably be the day after tomorrow or the day after that. I’ll call you when I have a free day."

Zhou Xing acknowledged with a hum and addressed Zhou Yaling, who was still pinching Candy’s cheeks:

"Let’s go."

"Bye-bye." Zhou Yaling waved and followed the old man’s footsteps.

Watching the backs of Uncle and Sister, Candy felt her flushed face with her hands, puffed up her cheeks, and said:

"Brother, my sister pinched my cheeks until they’re hot."

Feeling the grievance in Candy’s eyes, Mo Jingchun touched her cheek with the back of his hand.

Indeed, it was quite hot.

"Alright, stop lingering outside. Since there’s no sun, why not gather around the stove and have some watermelon instead?"

"Otherwise, playing games to level up works too."

Two days later, beside the village river, the water flowed quietly.

The riverbanks were lined with ice.

On the shore, two people of similar height walked side by side.

Due to his status, Zhou Yaling felt utterly uneasy.

Refusing directly was worrisome, as Zhou Yaling feared offending him.

After all, unlike the previous five matchmaking candidates, this final one was a government official.

Truly a headache.

"This year’s weather is much colder than last year’s. Around this time last year, when I walked here, the river wasn’t frozen yet."

Zhou Yaling, who was sending a WeChat message, paused, and spoke without thinking:

"Huh? Were you here for matchmaking last year too?"

At that moment, Zhou Yaling realized she had misspoken, but couldn’t take it back.

For a moment, things felt awkward between the two.

Most crucially, Zhou Yaling’s words killed the conversation.

Should they just keep jogging along the riverbank? Awaiting answers urgently.

"Ahem~ you’re pretty humorous."

Humorous? Zhou Yaling didn’t think so, instead she was terribly embarrassed.

It’s all her brother’s fault, why isn’t he here yet?

While Zhou Yaling was pondering what to say to ease the awkwardness, a series of car honks sounded from behind her.

Both turned around curiously towards the sound.

In an instant, Zhou Yaling, seeing five white Audi cars with their hazard lights on, lit up like seeing a savior.

Meanwhile, Pan Yifu’s fingers behind his back twitched unconsciously.

Watching the young man waving in the distance, Pan Yifu felt a bit nervous.

Nobody told him that Mo Jingchun would be coming to Zhou Yaling’s home today!

Internally blaming the matchmakers, Pan Yifu forced a smile and walked towards the road.

Unlike Zhou Yaling, image-conscious Pan Yifu did not join in Zhou Yaling’s dash.

The next second, Pan Yifu’s smile froze on his face.

Sitting in the car, Candy exclaimed wow as Zero swiftly opened the door and dashed out.

Without any hesitation, Zero jumped into the spot where Zhou Yaling slipped down.

In the river, Zhou Yaling took a sip of cold water, the biting chill jolting her awake.

"Help!" (cracked voice)

In the next moment, Zero was already in front of Zhou Yaling.

Zero looked down at the water, not even up to her knees, and then up at Zhou Yaling, "Stop shouting, you won’t die."

"The water isn’t up to my knees. I suggest you get to the shore first. Of course, if you want to catch hypothermia, just pretend I didn’t say anything and soak your feet a bit longer."

Mo Jingchun, who had run over from afar, stood on the riverbank, saw that apart from the wet clothes, nothing was wrong with Zhou Yaling.

Sighing in relief, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but make a joke:

"Sis, going for a swim?"

"It’s quite cold; how about we go back and warm up by the fire?"

Now ashore and shivering on the riverbank, Zhou Yaling’s face turned pale.

"Let’s go home."

With the help of the bodyguards, Zhou Yaling managed to climb up the riverbank.

After getting Zhou Yaling in the car to warm up, Mo Jingchun turned and said to the young man before him with a smile:

"Hello, there’s no space in our car; could you please walk a bit?"

Pan Yifu nodded stiffly.

After the convoy left, Pan Yifu’s expression was quite grim.

Everything happened too suddenly, and before he even got the chance to help, the one everyone called Zero had already jumped in. There was no chance to show himself.

In the car, Candy sympathetically handed all the tissues to Zhou Yaling.

"You were right about him; he’s definitely not a good match for you."

"Watching you tumble in and doing nothing."

Now sniffling, Zhou Yaling sneezed and said grumpily:

"Is this really the time to make fun of me? I feel like I’m going to croak."

......

As the fireworks smoked, Zhou Xing saw his daughter soaking wet running into the house.

Zhou Xing scratched his head in confusion.

"Xiaochun, what’s going on?"

"And where’s that young man?"

Mo Jingchun giggled and said, "Him? Guess he was too embarrassed to come."

"I could tell right away he wasn’t reliable, not someone to be trusted with Zhou Yaling’s future."

"Uncle, you wouldn’t want her unhappy in the future, would you?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xing furrowed his brows, "Tell me everything, what’s the situation." Knowing Xiaochun’s character, Zhou Xing trusted him, and considering Xiaochun runs a Fortune 500 company, his judgment of people is sound.

Since Xiaochun said it wasn’t a fit, then it surely wasn’t a fit.

Before Mo Jingchun could speak, Candy chimed in with a laugh, recalling the recent events.

After Candy recounted the events, Zhou Xing’s frown didn’t lift.

Indeed, not very suitable.

But...

"Sigh. Xiaochun, do you think he’ll hold it against us?"

"He won’t, don’t worry about that at all, Uncle."

Mo Jingchun responded confidently.

Having read Pan Yifu’s profile, Mo Jingchun could roughly predict his behavior.

Nobody is perfect, everyone has flaws. Pan Yifu might be suitable as a public official, but not as a lifetime partner.

As Mo Jingchun had guessed, even through dinner, Pan Yifu hadn’t returned from his walk.

Seeing his uncle by the fire still looking troubled, Mo Jingchun spoke up:

"Uncle, he’s not coming. Shall we bring out the dishes and eat?"

"Don’t worry about any other issues; if he truly has any thoughts, I’ll be there to shield you."

"Really, no issues?"

Achoo~

After another sneeze, Zhou Yaling rubbed her nose and said nonchalantly:

"Dad, what’s there to worry about? We didn’t offend anyone."

"Right, right, we’ve got my brother watching out for us." Candy grinned.
