The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Li Muxia felt so embarrassed she could dig her toes out of her seat, especially since Jun Mochen had been staring at her ever since she came in. She knew she'd given herself away. Although she'd been dressed as a man, she hadn't actually disguised herself, and with two identical faces, anyone would be suspicious.

Seeing Li Muxia's guilty look, Jun Mochen suddenly wanted to tease her and said with a smile, "Miss Li, you look a lot like someone I know."

As expected, it was bound to happen. Li Muxia naturally sensed the teasing in Jun Mochen's tone and said somewhat awkwardly, "Lord Jun, please don't tease me. I admit that I am Jian Xi. I didn't mean to deceive you before. As you know, it's easier to travel in men's clothing."

Upon hearing Li Muxia's explanation, Li Anran and Li Anjin realized that the two had known each other for a long time.

Jun Mochen: "Why is Jian Xi so reserved after becoming Mu Xia? You weren't like this before."

Li Muxia secretly glanced at Dongfang Jincheng, her meaning already quite clear.

Jun Mochen also understood Li Muxia's meaning. He turned to look at Dongfang Jincheng and saw that Dongfang Jincheng had a serious expression, which was not exactly happy.

He quickly said, "Prince Rui, look at you! The person you invited has arrived, and you can't even smile with that icy face of yours? It's making the young lady a little afraid of you."

Reminded by Jun Mochen, Dongfang Jincheng realized that he hadn't managed his expression well. He glanced at Li Muxia and thankfully, she didn't look scared. However, Li Anran, standing next to him, clearly showed fear on her face.

Dongfang Jincheng calmed his somewhat nervous mood, trying to relax and loosen his facial muscles so that his face looked softer.

To be honest, this was probably the first time Li Muxia had seen Dongfang Jincheng up close. Last time at the football field, she was so engrossed in acting that she didn't really look at Dongfang Jincheng properly. This time, she realized that he truly deserved to be ranked as the number one handsome man among the four great beauties by the women of the capital. His looks would make him a heartthrob for girls no matter where he was.

Even she, who was used to seeing beautiful women and handsome men, couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.

What a monster!

Seeing Li Muxia staring at him in a daze, Dongfang Jincheng felt a surge of joy. This face had once been his nightmare, and it was because of this face that he was allergic to women. Now, it was also because of this face that the woman he loved was infatuated with him. He really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

However, she believed that Li Muxia was not someone who only cared about looks, and that her liking for her was genuine and heartfelt.

Li Anjin, who was standing nearby, also noticed Li Muxia's expression. Seeing his younger sister staring at Prince Rui with a lovesick look, Li Anjin coughed twice to wake Li Muxia from her daze.

"I wonder what brings His Highness Prince Rui to this Peach Blossom Garden with my two siblings?" Li Anjin asked.

Jun Mochen had long anticipated Li Anjin's question and had already prepared a response, saying, "It's like this, before, I had a conversation with Jian Xi, oh no, I mean Miss Li."

When Li Muxia heard Jun Mochen change his form of address, she said, "Lord Jun, just call me Jianxi or Muxia."

Upon hearing this, Jun Mochen smiled and said, "Alright, then you don't need to call me Lord Jun anymore. I'm older than you all. When there are no outsiders, just call me Brother Jun."

The three of them said in unison, "Okay."

Watching Jun Mochen chat so naturally with Li Muxia and the others, Dongfang Jincheng felt an indescribable envy. Why couldn't he be as at ease as Jun Mochen?

Jun Mochen continued the previous topic, saying, "I became a platinum member of Muxia Restaurant before, and I told Prince Rui about it. He was also very interested in hot pot, so I wanted to invite you all here to learn more about hot pot."

After listening to Jun Mochen's words, Li Anjin understood the purpose of his visit. It seemed that Prince Rui only wanted to invite Li Muxia, and only invited him and Anran because of Li Muxia's status as a woman. Li Anjin agreed with Dongfang Jincheng's thoughtful consideration.

However, if he really only invited Li Muxia, Grandpa probably wouldn't allow Li Muxia to attend alone.

After listening to Jun Mochen's words, Li Muxia asked curiously, "I wonder which aspect Your Highness Prince Rui would like to know?"

Hearing Li Muxia's distant tone, Dongfang Jincheng felt a little uncomfortable. She had been addressing her senior brother so intimately when they were chatting just now, so why was she being so distant with him?

He said in a calm tone, "I would like to become a platinum member of your restaurant."

Upon hearing Dongfang Jincheng's words, Li Muxia was taken aback. Was he really that direct?

Before she could even say anything, this person skipped the negotiation stage and went straight to their destination. The spokesperson deal went incredibly smoothly.

Li Muxia: "We are very pleased that Your Highness Rui has become the spokesperson for Cyclamen. I presume Brother Jun has already mentioned the Platinum Membership to you. I wonder if Brother Jun has clearly explained the obligations and rights of Platinum Membership to you."

Upon hearing this, Prince Rui nodded, indicating that he understood.

Li Muxia was overjoyed. Could this be considered a lucky accident? She was just worried about how to bring up the spokesperson issue with him, but he brought it up himself.

Seeing the joy in Li Muxia's eyes, Dongfang Jincheng's slight jealousy vanished.

The next step is to find an opportunity to bring Li Muxia to the prepared venue alone, confess everything to her, and seek her forgiveness.

After chatting in the waterside pavilion for a while, Jun Mochen suddenly suggested, "The peaches in the Peach Garden are ripe. Would you like to experience the fun of picking peaches?"

As scions of a wealthy family who had never done farm work, they were genuinely eager to experience it.

So, they hit it off immediately and the five of them went to the peach orchard. Looking at the huge peach orchard, every peach tree was full of peaches. Those pink and tender peaches made people's mouths water.

In the peach orchard, some farmers were picking ripe peaches. These farmers were hired by the steward who managed the manor, so they didn't know Dongfang Jincheng and his group. They were just there to pick peaches, so the young lady didn't pay much attention to the extra few elegantly dressed young men. She was only surprised by their appearance when she first saw them, and then everyone went about their own business.

Of the five, Li Anran was the most excited. She pulled Li Muxia through the peach grove and soon separated from Li Anjin and the others.

Li Anjin shook his head helplessly as he watched the two figures disappear. Just as he was about to chase after them, Jun Mochen stopped him.

"An Jin, let's go over there and let the little girl play by herself. Don't worry, there are guards from the manor in the peach grove, it's very safe."
