Jing Mo Ling sprayed a little of the pink bottle of perfume and the lightly sweet, refres.h.i.+ng scent filled the room.
The scent was just like Jing Mo Ling"s character. Cheerful, a little shy, capable, sweet and innocent.
"Can I wear this dress for the celebration later?" Jing Mo Ling asked Mo Xi.
Mo Xi laughed and patted Jing Mo Ling"s head, "It is your dress, you decide when you want to wear it."
"I want to wear this dress later! It is so beautiful!" Jing Mo Ling said as she admired the dress.
Lu house.
"Should I tell her straight away, or should I just hint her?" Lu Jin Xiao said as he sat on his bed with his hands clenched in a fist.
"Brother, it has already been more than a month, and you haven"t decided?"
"Do you think it is so easy? If I confess to her and she accepts then that"s great. However, if she rejects me, then our friends.h.i.+p all these years might just go into the drain because she won"t be able to face me like she used to… On the other hand, if I don"t confess to her and just hint her, she might get the hint and think about it or she might run away from me also. But, if she can"t the hint, then everything would be in vain and she might find a boyfriend in the end."
Lu Jin Sheng laughed when he looked at his brother who was in a dilemma.
"Haven"t you been going to her hostel? Did she looked like she had guys that she likes or guys that like her?"
"She never said that she had any guys that she likes but there are surely a lot of guys that like her…" Lu Jin Xiao said feeling a little jealous of those guys who could stay close to Jing Mo Ling.
"Then what are you waiting for? Just confess to her! She might really find a boyfriend if you don"t take some actions."
Lu Jin Xiao"s eyes became clearer and he stood up immediately. He quickly took out the clothes that he was going to wear and started to get changed.
Lu Jin Sheng looked at his brother and let out a satisfied smile. He then took out his phone and texted Mo Xi.
6.30 p.m. at Jing Mansion.
Three girls walked into the Jing Mansion with wide eyes as they looked around the place.
"OMG! Ling Ling is the princess of the Jing Family?!"
"She hid it very well."
"Why didn"t she tell us this before?"
Jing Mo Chen and Mo Xi were standing somewhere less noticeable and their eyebrows scrunched up when they saw the last girl that came in.
"Perhaps she doesn"t want other people to look at her differently," The second girl answered.
"That"s right. Also, it is Ling Ling"s freedom whether she wants to tell us or not. Do you have a problem with that?" The first girl added, slightly annoyed by the third girl.
"Or maybe she was afraid that we would covet her wealth," The third girl mumbled with an annoyed look in her eyes.
Although the others couldn"t hear and see that look in her eyes, Mo Xi saw and heard it clearly.
"Did Mo Ling conceal her ident.i.ty of being Jing"s family daughter in school?"
"Mm. She didn"t want other people to look at her for being Jing"s family daughter. If people were to know that she was Jing"s family daughter, they might think that whatever she achieved was because of her ident.i.ty as Jing"s family daughter and not her hard work."
"Mmmm… Ok…"
"Jia Hui! Xin Yi! Ya Wen! You guys are here!" Jing Mo Ling came down in a hurry as she greeted them excitedly.
Jing Mo Ling was wearing the dress that Jing Mo Chen and Mo Xi designed for her, and her hair was braided to the side with a flower hairband on her hand. She also wore a necklace and string earrings. She looked like a real princess as she came down.
Jealousy clouded Huang Ya Wen"s eyes for a second when she saw the stunning Jing Mo Ling.
Huang Ya Wen was dressed in a V-neck, side-slit, sleeveless, long red dress. Her makeup was exquisitely done, and her hair carefully styled. She wore large gold hoop earrings and a gold necklace. It could be seen that she had put in a lot of effort into dressing herself up.
Such dressing would have attracted the attention of all the people in the place, but when Jing Mo Ling came down, Jing Mo Ling outs.h.i.+ned her even without bold colors.
"OMG! Ling Ling, you look so beautiful!" Yu Jia Hui said as she went to hug Jing Mo Ling.
"You are very stunning today," Qiao Xin Yi said as she looked at Jing Mo Ling with a huge smile.
On the other hand, Huang Ya Wen just put on a smile.
"Happy birthday Ling Ling!"
"Happy birthday Little Ling!"
"Happy birthday."
The three girls said together as they pa.s.sed the birthday gifts that they prepared to Jing Mo Ling.
Jing Mo Ling took them happily, "Thank you guys so much!"
"Ling Ling, where did you buy your dress from? It looks so nice on you!" Yu Jia Hui asked excitedly.
"My brother and sister-in-law designed it for me!"
"Waaa! Your brother and sister-in-law are so nice to you!"
"Mhm! Wait, let me introduce my family members to you all!"
Jing Mo Ling then brought the three girls around and introduced Jing Cang, Yang Shu Ling, Jing Mo Teng, Ling Xuan and Jing Bo Chuan to them. Lastly, she then brought the three girls to Jing Mo Chen and Mo Xi.
"Brother! Sister Mo Xi! They are my roommates and also my friends, Qiao Xin Yi, Yu Jia Hui, and Huang Ya Wen!"
"Xin Yi, Jia Hui, Ya Wen, this is my brother, and this is my sister-in-law!"
Jing Mo Ling introduced. Jing Mo Chen nodded at them, while Mo Xi smiled at them.
