The Rich Family's Melon King Only Wants to Eat Melon, but Her Thoughts Are Heard Ch. 5

"Yeah yeah, Rongrong and I get along super well, we really click." She leaned against Xu Rong's shoulder.

Xu Rong gave a polite greeting to Mo Zhengtian. "Hello, Uncle."

"We're gonna be one family soon, no need to be so formal," Mo Zhengtian said.

"Exactly, exactly. Rongrong, you're gonna have to start calling him something else soon," Mo Xiaoyun added.

Xu Rong just let out a quiet "mm" and didn't say anything else.

Mo Keyu found all of this extremely boring. She sat to the side playing with her phone. It was kind of noisy around her, and she was too far away to hear what those people were even talking about—not that she had any desire to get close and act like some idiot.

Soon, the banquet reached its final course, which just so happened to be Mo Keyu's favorite part.

As family, of course she was seated next to Mo Zhengtian, with Mo Xiaoyun and Xu Rong beside her, and Xu Rong's parents also at the table.

The funny part? Xu Rong's current boyfriend, Xin Ren, was sitting right at the next table. All it would take was a little turn of the head and the two could see each other.

By the time the food was served, the atmosphere settled down a bit. Even soft conversations could be heard clearly.

Just sitting there, Mo Keyu could already catch snippets like who just rushed over after landing a billion-dollar deal, which rich heiress was now dating which rich heir, where the next big business opportunity was.

"Xiao Rong, let me raise a glass to you on behalf of the Mo family," Mo Zhengtian said, lifting his wine glass, then raised his voice a bit for the next line. "From now on, my daughter Xiaoyun is in your hands."

Seeing how enthusiastic Mo Zhengtian was, Xu Rong had no choice but to raise his glass and clink it lightly. His voice, though, lacked confidence: "I'll take good care of her..."

[Take good care of her? Ha! What a joke.]

That same familiar laugh again.

A few people instinctively glanced around, trying to figure out who had just blurted that out—but they couldn't find anyone.

Mo Xiaoyun immediately zeroed in on Mo Keyu.

The voice sounded an awful lot like hers, but she was either staring at her phone or eating nonstop—there's no way she was throwing her voice, right?

If she said something now, Mo Keyu would probably just turn it back on her and say she was crazy. So in the end, Mo Xiaoyun kept quiet.

Sitting next to Xu Rong were his parents. They were fairly satisfied with Mo Xiaoyun. The Mo family wasn't quite on the same level as the Xu family, but it was decent enough.

"No need to be so polite, in-laws," Xu Rong's mother said, smiling warmly at Mo Xiaoyun.

[Oh please. Xu Rong's parents have known he's gay for ages and still plotted to trap a beard. Guess they're not any better.]

Everyone at the table heard the same voice ring out in their heads at once. Xu Rong's mother's smile froze awkwardly on her face.

Mo Zhengtian heard it too—his expression turned complicated, and the way he looked at Xu Rong suddenly changed.

Meanwhile, Mo Keyu was digging into a steak.

She had just transmigrated here and didn't really know the table manners of these rich folks. She grabbed her knife, stabbed the steak, and stuffed it into her mouth—eating while watching the drama unfold.

"Ahem, we're all family from now on," Mo Zhengtian, being the seasoned old fox he was, coughed a few times and acted like he hadn't heard anything.

But Mo Xiaoyun was clearly panicking a little. Did she just hear that right? Gay?

The two families went right back to chatting happily again.

[Seriously, no wonder they're industry big shots. Their ability to keep up appearances is top-tier.]

[Old Man Mo's really handing his second daughter straight to the wolves—oh wait, that's not even his real daughter.]

[Like I'd be kind enough to warn them. They brought this on themselves.]

[Hahahahahahaha, "one big happy family"? Please. Everyone's got their own agenda, hiding their true selves.]

............

The voice just kept ringing through their heads, non-stop. It was seriously unbearable. And the worst part? It wasn't just their table—people at the nearby tables heard it loud and clear too.

Xu Rong's boyfriend, Xin Ren, totally lost it. He jumped up and ran out without even looking back.

And Xu Rong, even though he kept up the polite act with his family and the Mo family, his mind was already somewhere else. The second he saw his boyfriend run out, he couldn't focus on a single thing anyone was saying anymore.

"Xiaoyun is really such a thoughtful girl. Our Rongrong is lucky to be marrying her," Xu Rong's mother was still laying on the compliments, nine out of ten sentences praising Mo Xiaoyun. With the Xu family's madam hyping her up like that, Mo Xiaoyun looked like she was about to float away with pride.

But just then, Xu Rong suddenly stood up, both hands slamming onto the table. The whole table shook, dishes and cutlery clinking loudly from the impact.

"I've got something to do, I'm heading out," he said. The emotions he'd been holding back exploded all at once. Without another word, he stormed off, and all that gentlemanly young master aura? Gone.

"Rongrong, Rongrong! Don't go, Rongrong, where are you going!"

He moved so fast that no matter how loudly Mo Xiaoyun called, it didn't stop him. It wasn't until he completely disappeared out the door that she realized her yelling had already drawn a lot of attention.

Everyone around was looking their way, trying to figure out what just happened.

In the end, Mo Xiaoyun had no choice but to sit down awkwardly. Some of the big shots at the banquet, seeing someone make such a loud scene, couldn't help but throw her a few looks of disdain.

Getting stared at like that, Mo Zhengtian's lips twitched, and his mood tanked. Plus, that strange voice in his head had been saying all kinds of bizarre things—it only made him feel worse.

[Ooh, tragic love story, huh? He chases, he flees...]

[Wait, don't tell me we're just part of their kink?]

[Those two really go wild in bed. What? They've been pulling all-nighters for days straight—aren't they afraid of kidney failure?]

Mo Keyu looked toward the doors and clicked her tongue a few times.

Right then, Mo Zhengtian caught the expression on her face, and something seemed to click. He leaned in and lowered his voice to Mo Xiaoyun:

"Xiaoyun, go outside and find Xu Rong."

"O-okay." Mo Xiaoyun had a bad feeling creeping up on her too.
