Chapter 183 - Did I get rejected without even professing my love? (1/2)

As ladies were busy in shopping, Jian Yan kept looking at the back of Xie Ming.

Xie Ming does not need much so she chose a ruby locket and a rosy-colored diamond bangle.

Mother Jin also brought a pearl necklace and ring for herself while Mrs. Wu also choose earrings and rings for herself as Xie Ming helped her in choosing this one.

They exited the shop together as Jian Yan walked behind them.

When they came out of the shop, Mrs. Wu spoke to Xie Ming, ” Xie Ming, why don't you accompany us for a dinner. It's my birthday today, and his father is also busy with his work. So it's only us for dinner.”

”It will be good if you and Mother Jin could join us for dinner. It will be boring with him alone,” she said while looking at Jian Yan and asking Xie Ming to agree with her request.

Xie Ming looked at Mrs. Wu with surprise, ” It's your birthday? You should have told me, I wouldn't have let you pay at the shop then.” she said while feeling apologetic.

If she has known that it was Mrs. Wu's birthday then she would' have bought her accessories for her as a gift.

Mrs. Wu smiled at Xie Ming seeing her concern, ” Oh, forget about ceremonies. It would be good if you could accompany us for dinner.”

Jian Yan looked at his mother with a pleased expression.

Xie Ming looked at Mother Jin who seem to be troubled.

Before Xie Ming could agree to Mrs. Wu's request, Mother Jin interrupted and said, ” Aiya. Mrs. Wu let me accompany you for dinner. Xie Ming has to go, Liwie is coming to pick her up so she won't be able to accompany you. let me join you if you don't mind.” she said while smiling.

She passed Xie Ming and went to Mrs. Wu and held her by the arm.

Mrs. Wu seemed troubled as she looked at Mother Jin.

” Eh? Liwie is coming? Then he can also join us. It will be better this way.” she said bloomingly.

Jian Yan who was standing at the side, his face darkened. He still doesn't know who is this Liwei and how is he related to Xie Ming?

But he figured out that the relationship between them is not simple. He thought that he must be her boyfriend and at most her fiance.

It was enough to ruin his mood.

” Yes, Mother. Liwei can also join us. After all, it's aunty's birthday. We should celebrate it.” Xie Ming backed Mrs. Wu's words.

Mrs. Wu smiled when she heard aunty from Xie Ming. She has told Xie Ming to call her aunty as Mrs. Wu sounds so distant.

Mother Jin hit Mrs. Wu with her elbow as if signaling her to not let Xie Ming join them.

Mrs. Wu held her arm in pain as she looked at Mother Jin in confusing. When she saw her wink at her and shook her head as if saying something.

Mrs. Wu thought for a while and her eye grew wide as she looked at her back as if understanding her meaning.

Mother Jin looked at her eyes and nodded.

Then Mrs. Wu looked at Xie Ming and said, ” Erm. Xie Ming, you should go with Liwei. I will go with your Mother for dinner. What will you do in the middle of elders. Go and have fun.” she laughed awkwardly.

Mother Jin has planned for Liwei and Xie Ming to get some alone time and let them hang out. She doesn't want to ruin her plan.

She has to do some efforts if she wanted a grandchild for herself soon.

Xie Ming looked at them in trouble and blinks her eyes.

Before she could say anything, Mother Jin said, ” Right. Xie Ming see Liwei is calling. He must have reached here. You go and shop with him. And weren't you telling me that you need to shop for him too. Go and have fun. And I will take Mrs. Wu for a dinner.” she said while showing her phone to Xie Ming.
