After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 184: It Was Made by My Girlfriend

“You were just… talking to Mu Hehe about what?”

Hearing the woman’s cautious question, Bo Jingmo lowered his gaze while pouring her tea, his tone unreadable: “Nothing. Did you come find me today for something else?”

Bai Hui sat on the sofa. Upon hearing that, she pressed her lips together. “I just came to check on you.”

She paused, her hands rubbing nervously on her knees. After a moment, she spoke hesitantly, “Actually, there’s also… yesterday Grandpa called me and said that Dad would be back for Mom’s birthday too. He wants…”

“I know.”

The man interrupted calmly, “I’ve already agreed.”

Maybe it was because he’d come to terms with it last night—Bo Jingmo seemed especially calm now.

Seeing him like this, Bai Hui was momentarily stunned, then smiled faintly, “Bo Jingmo, you seem so much better now. That’s really great.”

Better?

He had never gotten better.

It’s just that this was what they wanted him to look like.

Bo Jingmo lowered his eyes in silence, hiding the mockery in his gaze. A sudden wave of irritation surged within him. He pulled out his phone and toyed with it in his hands, eyes landing on his contacts as his expression paused.

Seeing no reply from him, Bai Hui felt a bit awkward. She turned her head to look around the house, her eyes settling on the pot sitting on the kitchen stove.

Maybe because she thought Bo Jingmo had improved, her mood lightened a little. She smiled and casually said:

“You should find a girlfriend too. Look, you’re sick and there’s no one to take care of you.”

After she said that, Bai Hui suddenly remembered the blind date their mother had arranged for him before—which only ended up worsening things. Her expression stiffened a little and she waved her hand repeatedly.

“Of course, I’m not trying to set you up or anything. Just thought, seeing you sick and still having to get up to make porridge… I was just worried, that’s all. Don’t overthink it.”

Bo Jingmo leaned back against the sofa, long legs crossed, looking down at his phone. Hearing her words, he paused slightly and turned his head toward the kitchen.

She didn’t know if it was just her imagination, but after he glanced at the pot on the stove, his gaze seemed to soften a bit.

She thought he had taken it to heart and was about to say something more with a smile when Bo Jingmo suddenly set down his phone and spoke: “I didn’t make that.”

“Hm?”

Bai Hui didn’t think much of it at first, then suddenly came to a realization.

“Oh, so it was the hous—”

“It was made by my girlfriend.”

“……??????????”

Who??

Who made it??

G-Girlfriend!?

Bai Hui looked completely dumbfounded, thinking she must’ve misheard.

But when she saw the faint, unintentional smile curling at the corners of the man’s mouth, her eyes widened, and her hands clutched the fabric under her tightly in excitement.

“R-Really? You found a girlfriend?” Forcing down the shock rising in her throat, she tried to sound calm. “Which family is she from? Do I know her?”

She hadn’t heard of any young lady being in contact with Bo Jingmo lately.

“You don’t know her. She’s from school.”

Bo Jingmo replied while typing on his phone, then looked up and added,

“She’s upstairs right now. She said she wants to meet you and have a chat.”

That genuinely caught Bai Hui off guard.

Meet… and chat?

Strange. Very strange.

Normally, people meeting their partner’s family would at least feel a bit shy or awkward. This was her first time seeing someone be so forward.

Even before meeting her, Bai Hui already found herself curious about Bo Jingmo’s girlfriend.

……

Meanwhile, upstairs.

“Creak—” the door was opened from the outside.

When Mu Hehe saw the girl sitting inside the room, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over with little tapping steps, greeting her politely, “Auntie!”

Yu Li was playing with her phone and raised her eyebrows at the greeting, “Why aren’t you calling me Teacher?”

“Because Uncle already told me, he said you’re Auntie now!”

Mu Hehe slung off his little backpack and sat on a small stool, tilting his head to look up at Yu Li. “Auntie, I haven’t told Mom or anyone! Didn’t I keep my promise?”

Yu Li patted his head, “Very good.”

“Then can I say it from now on?”

“From now on?” Yu Li blinked, then leaned down and whispered, “Auntie doesn’t want to face too many people just yet. Can Hehe keep helping me keep it a secret?”

“Sure, sure! Don’t worry, Auntie!”

Little Mu Hehe was very well-behaved. After promising, he sat on his own and started doodling in a notebook. Watching the little boy’s back, Yu Li leaned against the chair and couldn’t help but smile.

Such a good kid.

No wonder he got along with Bo Jingmo.

But speaking of getting along, Yu Li couldn’t help but think of the woman sitting downstairs right now.

That was Bo Jingmo’s… sister?

Their relationship probably wasn’t too strained yet—after all, someone borrowed her son just to trick her.

She tapped on her phone. Just then, the screen lit up—it was a message from Bo Jingmo.

She used to have him saved as “Director Bo,” but now it was changed to “Boss Bo.” Every time she saw it, she couldn’t help but feel like she was being kept.

【Boss Bo: I let Mu Hehe go up. Did you see him?】

【Yu Li: Yup. You two talk downstairs, I’ll hang out with Hehe for a bit.】

After receiving that message, Bo Jingmo hesitated for a moment and sent another one.

【Boss Bo: Do you want her to know about us?】

The message looked a little awkward.

Introducing your girlfriend to your family was supposed to be normal, but Bo Jingmo’s situation was… complicated.

He didn’t even want those people to know Yu Li existed.

But everyone online said if you didn’t introduce your partner to your family, it meant you didn’t take them seriously. He wasn’t sure if Yu Li thought that way.

Bo Jingmo was afraid his family would bring trouble to Yu Li, but also afraid Yu Li would misunderstand.

After all, he still hadn’t had the chance to tell her everything about himself.

Staring at the slightly stiff message, Bo Jingmo pressed his lips together, debating whether or not to delete it.

But right after, Yu Li replied.

【Yu Li: Do you want her to?】

Bo Jingmo was stunned.

Him?

Honestly, even he didn’t know.

He felt like a dragon who had just found a rare treasure—eager to show off but unwilling to let even a sliver of its brilliance be seen by outsiders.

His fingers paused slightly as he slowly typed and sent a message.

【Boss Bo: I actually don’t like them. I don’t get along with my family.】

The truth he didn’t get to say earlier in the kitchen now slipped out just like that.

One “don’t like,” one “don’t get along”—that was enough to sum up Bo Jingmo’s relationship with his family and quietly bury the past.

Yu Li looked at the message, her eyes lowering as she asked:

【Yu Li: Does that include Bai Hui?】

【Boss Bo: She’s alright.】

As she expected, Bo Jingmo’s relationship with Bai Hui wasn’t as bad.

On the other side, Bo Jingmo also received Yu Li’s final message.

【Yu Li: Then just tell her.】

He paused for a moment.

Before he could react, another message popped up.

【Yu Li: Bo Jingmo, I want to talk to her alone.】
