Chapter 426: This Is My Boyfriend

Ji Buwang was delighted to hear Mu Jingzhe agree.
“That’s great!” His eyes lit up, and his entire body seemed to be giving off a glow.
He was extremely handsome to begin with, and this joyful look made it even harder for people to look away. Besides, he only had eyes for her, making Mu Jingzhe smile despite herself.
Many people were already looking at them. Seeing the amazement in the eyes of many girls, Mu Jingzhe took Ji Buwang’s arm. “Let’s go.”
As she saw the amazed and envious looks on everyone’s faces, she felt very happy. She was finally not the one forever envious of others, someone who could only watch idol dramas and scream. That day, she became the object of envy of others and she was the protagonist for once.
Although her appearance might not be that outstanding, Ji Buwang only had eyes for her, so she was confident that she was worthy of him.
After all her hard work, she was now considered an outstanding person. Therefore, she could confidently stand beside the once-unattainable piano prince.
Mu Jingzhe had come mainly to deliver documents, so there wasn’t much to do. Other than meeting Mu Han to play the role of a good sister, she hung out with Ji Buwang for the rest of her time there.
Ji Buwang excitedly took Mu Jingzhe to pluck grapes. He said that people in the capital would always pluck grapes during this season. These grapes were much smaller than those in the later generations and weren’t as numerous, but the taste was very strong, sweet, and sour.
Mu Jingzhe’s appetite was whetted, so Ji Buwang kept picking grapes for her to eat. In the end, she experienced tooth sensitivity.
At mealtime, her tooth sensitivity affected her appetite.
“Why did you let me eat so much?” She had eaten too much because she was in a good mood, and her teeth had ended up suffering. This kind of thing wouldn’t have happened in the past. She was the one who would not let the children eat too much.
“It’s my fault, my fault. I forgot.” As Mu Jingzhe had been eating happily, and Ji Buwang, who only cared about making her happy, hadn’t expected that she would overeat. He now admitted his mistake. “Can you still eat?”
“Even if I can’t, I have to.”
The place where Ji Buwang had taken Mu Jingzhe to pluck grapes was actually a friend’s house. His friend had a two-entrance courtyard house where grapes grew. When the grapes ripened, he would invite his family and friends to pluck them instead of selling them.
Most of Ji Buwang’s friends were in the capital. Now that Mu Jingzhe was there, he wanted to introduce her to everyone.
This process was the happiest and proudest for Ji Buwang. He wanted his friends to witness his happiness and he couldn’t wait to introduce the most important girl in his life to them.
He had wanted to do this in the past, but he hadn’t been able to. Firstly, Mu Jingzhe hadn’t gotten a divorce back then, and secondly, their relationship hadn’t reached that stage yet.
Now, Ji Buwang felt that their relationship had more or less been confirmed. Coincidentally, his friends were extremely curious about Mu Jingzhe, so he took her there.
However, he was afraid that Mu Jingzhe wouldn’t be used to it, so he hadn’t asked too many friends to come and he’d only accepted the invitation as a guest.
His friend was really curious about Mu Jingzhe, as after Ji Buwang had woken up, there had been rumors that he liked someone. This person was even a widow with a few children. His friend had confirmed it, so he knew that it was true, but it had been a long time since this rumor had started circulating and there hadn’t been any follow-up news.
However, the reason there hadn’t been any follow-up news wasn’t because the Ji Family objected, but because the woman didn’t seem to have accepted him. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this matter had caused a stir in their circle. After all, this was none other than Ji Buwang, who had the most outstanding appearance, family background, and character. To think that woman wouldn’t accept him…
What was even more surprising was that Ji Buwang hadn’t given up and had kept waiting for her and relentlessly wooing her. He had even become famous for being a devoted lover in their circle.
One had to know that those of his friends who were wooing girls back then, regardless of whether they’d succeeded or not, had basically all gotten married and even had children. Even the children of those who had gotten married later were already old enough to run around.
Only Ji Buwang remained the same as always. Just as everyone thought that Ji Buwang wouldn’t succeed, there had suddenly been news from Ji Buwang, and good news at that.
His friends were the first to hear the news. They were very curious about the girl Ji Buwang hadn’t managed to conquer after such a long time.
They had thought that Mu Jingzhe would be a stunning beauty, but when they saw her, they realized that she wasn’t. However, she had a strong personality and aura. Furthermore, her personality and appearance were different from what they had imagined. She wasn’t the most beautiful, but she was indeed the most eye-catching and special person in a crowd.
No wonder Ji Buwang treated her differently and had remained deeply in love with her for so long. Many girls would pale in comparison when they stood beside him. However, no one would ignore Mu Jingzhe when she stood next to him.
After interacting with her, one would realize that she was a very special woman. She was knowledgeable, broad-minded, and gracious. She wasn’t shy, but she wasn’t pretending to be noble either.
When interacting with Ji Buwang, she looked like a lovable little woman, but occasionally, she exuded an extraordinary bearing. Also, she was tolerant of Ji Buwang. In short, their way of interacting was very strange and abnormally harmonious.
His friend observed them for a long time and clicked his tongue as he watched their interaction. After thinking about it, he finally found a reasonable explanation—they doted on each other.
They were unlike many young people, when the boy usually doted on the girl or the girl was considerate of the boy. In their case, they doted on each other.
This felt really good. As his friend brought the dishes over, he felt a little envious. Just as he was about to continue watching the show, someone unexpectedly knocked on the door. When he opened the door, he realized that it was another friend. He had heard that Ji Buwang had come and had specifically come over to see Mu Jingzhe out of curiosity.
There was a total of three people. They all came in excitedly and glanced at Mu Jingzhe. Surprise flashed across their eyes as they looked at Ji Buwang. “Buwang, shouldn’t you introduce us? This is your…”
As the friend asked this and winked, Ji Buwang was helpless. He glanced at Mu Jingzhe, who stood up with a smile. “She’s my…”
Should I say she’s my partner or lover?
As he was thinking, he heard Mu Jingzhe say, “Girlfriend. I’m his girlfriend, Mu Jingzhe. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Mu Jingzhe had guessed that Ji Buwang was hesitant, so she had decided to speak up.
The three new arrivals looked at Mu Jingzhe and exclaimed in their hearts, ‘How generous!’
Besides, the term ‘girlfriend’ was really interesting. “Hello, hello. So Ji Buwang is your…”
“Boyfriend,” Mu Jingzhe replied. She sighed with emotion in her heart. Ah, so this was how it felt to introduce one’s boyfriend to others.
Aside from happiness, there was indescribable anticipation and a hint of pride in her heart.
Mu Jingzhe looked at Ji Buwang, and Ji Buwang looked back at Mu Jingzhe. The smile on his face couldn’t be stopped no matter what. He warmly welcomed his friends and asked them to take a seat, his brows and eyes filled with excitement. He was really happy because their relationship had become even clearer now. They were truly dating. Jingzhe had personally introduced them as a couple.
This introduction made Ji Buwang feel as happy as if he had eaten honey.
The more he thought about it, the more exuberant he felt. In the end, Ji Buwang couldn’t help secretly holding Mu Jingzhe’s hand under the table, as if this was the only way for him to express his joy.
