Chapter 823 - 821: If You Won’t Say, Forget It

When Mo Jingchun found Bun, Bun was surrounded by a group of people pointing and talking.

A curious crowd gathered under the shade, and that’s when Mo Jingchun came over.

As soon as the boss appeared, the employees scattered in every direction.

It wasn’t even time to clock out, yet everyone was watching the cat here. When the boss comes, shouldn’t they quickly scatter to avoid getting fired?

In the grass under the shade, Bun lay on the ground with its paws tucked in, looking utterly dejected, a sight that evoked sympathy.

Recognizing a familiar scent, Bun lifelessly raised its head.

"Tsk tsk~ What happened? You look like you’ve been bullied."

Shaking his head, Mo Jingchun ignored Bun and walked away.

Later in the afternoon, by chance, Mo Jingchun saw Bun running around, complete with a BJM. Mo Jingchun finally understood why so many people were watching Bun in the morning.

Music coming from a cat, how novel!

In the office.

Candy settled down to seriously complete her homework, unlike other classmates, she couldn’t bluff her way through her summer assignments.

As for Zero, there’s no need to mention — he can instantly see if an answer is correct.

Her brother is just a tad lacking, but only just.

Hearing footsteps, Candy curiously looked up.

"Brother, you’re back."

"Mm." Mo Jingchun put down the sunshade and nodded when he saw Candy working on a math problem.

He was about to ask about Bun’s "speaker" collar but realized Candy was still doing her homework, so he decided against asking.

It’s not too late to inquire later when there’s time.

"Take your time, no rush."

Hearing this, Candy raised an eyebrow and sped up her writing.

Hmph~ They think I won’t finish my summer homework on time and then have an excuse not to take me rafting. I’m not falling for that — Candy thought to herself.

Seeing Candy focus even more, Mo Jingchun fell into contemplation.

Candy entered her rebellious phase so young? Otherwise, why would she act contrary to him today?

Never mind, as long as she’s willing to do homework, it’s a good thing.

Sitting on the sofa, Mo Jingchun rubbed his sore neck, gradually feeling tired, and closed his eyes.

......

Mo Jingchun was dreaming sweetly when he was suddenly awakened by a slap.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw it was Zero who hit him. He was about to say this wasn’t the right way to wake him but noticed Zero’s serious expression.

Before Mo Jingchun could ask, Zero spoke.

"Boss, a minute ago, at 16:21 Jing City time, a 7.6 earthquake occurred in Japan, and a tsunami is expected to follow."

Mo Jingchun paused, then, realizing what Zero said, replied:

"That’s it?"

"What does it have to do with us."

Yawning, Mo Jingchun stood and stretched lazily.

So startled for nothing, Mo Jingchun thought it was something major.

Setting prejudice aside, a 7.6 earthquake is quite common for Japan; it’s not small, but the casualties likely won’t be large.

Probably just a few unlucky ones.

Mo Jingchun hadn’t taken two steps when he stumbled, nearly falling, but luckily his reflexes were quick so he steadied himself.

Looking back, a guiltless Little Grey stared at him, having been sleeping on the floor.

"Sorry about that, Little Grey, I truly didn’t see you."

Bending down to rub Little Grey’s head, Mo Jingchun said with a smile:

"You gotta say you’re okay."

Under the shocked gazes of Candy and Zero, Mo Jingchun stood up.

"If you don’t say it, forget it."

This explosive apology made Candy dazed.

Turns out one can apologize so coolly.

Looking at Little Grey’s puzzled eyes, Candy felt sorry for three seconds.

Poor little dog, you chose the wrong spot to be.

Friday, clear skies, the weather forecast suggests a low of 28° and a high of 38°.

Standing in the sun, Mo Jingchun refused to believe it’s only 38°.

The incoming heat wave feels hotter than 38°.

After wiping sweat from his forehead with a tissue, Mo Jingchun quickened his pace under the sunshade.

Inside and outside the door, it’s like two different worlds.

The drastic temperature change made Mo Jingchun shiver uncontrollably.

"Hello, Boss~"

"Hello."

Nodding to the receptionist, Mo Jingchun tucked the sunshade under his arm and strode into the elevator.

Before entering the office, Mo Jingchun heard laughter coming from inside.

Who dares laugh so insolently on this floor, other than Candy?

Not like himself, so shy, never laughed so boldly.

"Without sister here, we both achieved seven consecutive wins, unbeatable, right?"

At that moment, Candy noticed Zero had already looked towards the door.

Looking up, it was Brother back!

Candy joyfully put down her phone and ran towards her brother.

"Brother, have you finished your work?"

"What’s up?" Mo Jingchun looked at Candy, puzzled, wondering if she was worried about being caught playing games.

"Hehe, of course, I want to spend a little bit of time with Brother."

Like forming a heart, Candy made a gesture with her fingers.

"I’m free today."

Hearing this, Candy’s eyes lit up and she dragged her brother towards the desk.

Pushing Mo Jingchun to sit down, Mo Jingchun noticed stacks of completed summer homework neatly arranged on the computer.

"You finished it all?" Mo Jingchun was a bit surprised.

"Yes!"

That’s impressive speed!

Mo Jingchun casually picked one up and flipped to the last page, and sure enough, it was finished.

Seeing Candy’s expectant eyes, awaiting his approval.

Recognizing this, Mo Jingchun thoroughly checked each one before praising:

"Well done!"

Candy happily rubbed her hands and asked with a grin:

"Brother, since I’ve finished my summer work early, then..."

"When are we going rafting?"

Mo Jingchun’s lips curled into a smile as he replied:

"Let’s go the day after tomorrow, Sunday, is that okay?"

"Yes!" Candy eagerly nodded, fearing he’d change his mind.

Changing mind... Candy’s big eyes darted around before suddenly asking:

"Brother, then should I go tell sister and sister-in-law we’re going rafting the day after tomorrow?"

Mo Jingchun laughed, extending his right index finger to gently tap Candy’s forehead.

"You truly are a little genius."

"Go ahead and let your sister and sister-in-law know."

Watching the two little figures dart away, even leaving their phones behind, Mo Jingchun shook his head and walked over.

"Wow~ Seven consecutive wins, impressive!"

Having not played games for a while, Mo Jingchun’s hands itched, and he couldn’t resist starting a game on Candy’s phone.

"Kai, with your skills, a national standard? Must be paid for proxy play, huh."

While working, Xia Xiaomin glanced up secretly; seeing the boss’s darkening face, she quickly lowered her head, pretending she heard and saw nothing.

The voice belongs to a teammate.

Coupling that with the boss’s dark face, Xia Xiaomin could infer that probably eight or nine times out of ten, the boss was playing Kai.
