Ch. 51..60
Chapter 51: Tracking Mo Chen The next day, dawn, seven o’clock.
Qiao Ruoxin didn’t sleep all night and heard the sound of the door opening next door.
She immediately got up, opened the door a crack, and saw Mo Chen, dressed to the nines, descending the stairs.
He usually went to the office at eight o’clock, but now at seven, he was neatly dressed and ready to go out.
Did he need to be so eager to meet a woman who wasn’t important?
Her heart tightened.
Her gaze dimmed slightly as she turned and quickly freshened up in the bathroom.
Then she went to the cloakroom, changed her clothes, and put on a white baseball cap, a black mask, and a pair of black sunglasses.
Fully armed, ready to tail him!
Qiao Ruoxin carefully avoided the bodyguard’s gaze, randomly picked a car from the garage, and followed Mo Chen.
All the way, she was very nervous, even breaking out in a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead.
An hour later, they arrived at the underground parking lot of the airport.
She hid in her car, watching Mo Chen get out and leave.
The airport?
Could Mo Chen be here to pick someone up?
Qiao Ruoxin also got out of the car and secretly followed him.
After reaching the international area of the airport, she saw Mo Chen enter a coffee shop.
A few minutes later, a woman appeared.
Qiao Ruoxin’s brows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with panic, and her heartbeat nearly skipped a beat.
Turns out, this woman named Lin Xi was a flight attendant on international flights.
She saw the woman wearing a flight attendant’s uniform, her hair meticulously combed, her whole demeanour elegant and dignified, quite pretty.
Qiao Ruoxin’s gaze grew dimmer.
…
Inside the coffee shop.
Mo Chen sat there, his dark eyes scanning the time on his watch, frowning.
At that moment, Lin Xi sat opposite him, her smile warm and gentle, “Morning, Mo Chen.”
The man glanced up, expressionless, and responded, “Mmm, morning.”
Lin Xi took out a bank card from her bag, placed it in front of him, and said, “Here, the money I borrowed from you before, I can pay you back in full now.”
Mo Chen’s brows furrowed slightly as he spoke in a deep voice, “Actually, it’s not necessary.”
“I must repay it, I don’t like owing money to someone.”
The man scoffed, “Fine, if you want to pay it back, do it.”
Lin Xi picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and said, “By the way, I’ve been following ‘Idol 101’ lately. Your little ex-girlfriend is really pretty, just like a princess out of a comic book, full of vigor.”
Mo Chen’s lips curved slightly, “Not bad.”
Almost everyone’s first impression of Qiao Ruoxin was that she was very pretty.
“I do bear some resemblance to her. No wonder you mistook me for her when you were out of it,” Lin Xi said with a light smile.
The man’s handsome face darkened, and he did not respond.
Two years ago, he had been searching for Little Ghost for seven days straight, and finally due to driving while tired, he had an accident and tumbled down into a forest.
If Lin Xi, who had been camping there, had not found him, perhaps he would have died right there.
Lin Xi then asked, “Haven’t you thought about getting back together with her? Since you liked her so much.”
“Don’t know.”
“What about being with me? After all, I look quite a lot like her, though I’m a more mature version.”
Mo Chen snorted disdainfully, with a cold laugh, and said sternly, “In time, you would find me despicable. I could leave you at any moment for her, not caring about your feelings. As long as she is in this world, I’ll be entangled with her, and she will always be a thorn in your side.”
A look of distaste flickered in Lin Xi’s eyes, “Thinking about it, it really does sound depressing. Didn’t expect you to be such a scumbag?”
His phone vibrated.
Mo Chen picked up the call, and the voice of the bodyguard came through, “Boss Mo, Miss Qiao slipped away from us. She seems to have gone to the airport!”
In an instant, he erupted in anger, “She ran off? Are you guys useless!”
To the airport? Could Qiao Ruoxin be trying to sneak out of the country again?
The next second, the man stood up and left the coffee shop without any explanation.
Watching his retreating figure, Lin Xi couldn’t help but sigh, “Is this what love is…”
Chapter 52: Are you following me because you’re afraid I have another woman, huh? Qiao Ruoxin watched them sitting there, their auras seeming quite compatible.
Her heart felt as if it had fallen into an abyss.
She slowly turned around, not wanting to see the scene inside the café any longer.
Her tears streamed down uncontrollably, and her chest felt as if it were crushed by a thousand-pound stone, making it hard to breathe.
In the bustling airport, everyone looked blurry through her tear-filled eyes.
Suddenly—
Qiao Ruoxin accidentally bumped into someone and instinctively said, “I’m sorry…”
The moment she looked up, she froze in place.
Right then, Mo Chen was standing in front of her, fury written all over his face, his eyes conveying a murderous intent, as if he wanted to execute her on the spot.
“Qiao Ruoxin! Do you think you can escape this way?”
She threw herself into the man’s arms, causing him to stagger a step backward.
Mo Chen looked down at her, but because she was wearing a cap, a mask, and sunglasses, he couldn’t see her expression clearly.
“Mo Chen, would you recognize me even if I turned to ash?”
“Hmm.”
Not to mention her current disguise—even if it were just a silhouette, he would be able to recognize her in a glance.
Qiao Ruoxin’s slender arms tightly embraced the man’s waist, her voice tinged with a sob, “Can’t you just not like someone else? Like me instead—I’m prettier than her, and I can make you happier than she can.”
Her?
A trace of confusion flashed in Mo Chen’s dark eyes before he understood.
This Little Ghost saw him with Lin Xi?
Is she feeling threatened now?
A few unexpected traces appeared on his cold, tense handsome face.
Little Ghost had always been arrogant due to his indulgence—was she feeling insecure now?
Mo Chen’s right arm encircled her slender waist, and his deep voice slowly rose, “That depends on your performance.”
“I will perform well!” She hugged the man’s body tightly, as if he might fall for another woman the next second.
Lin Xi made her feel threatened because of Mo Chen’s attitude.
Mo Chen had always been dismissive of other women, but he seemed quite calm with Lin Xi, even sitting down to chat with her.
There must be some feelings, right?
“Little Ghost, are you stalking me?” There seemed to be a hint of annoyance in the man’s tone.
So it wasn’t an escape, but stalking him?
Qiao Ruoxin was momentarily startled before she pulled away from the man’s embrace.
Feeling somewhat guilty, she turned her head away to look elsewhere, “I did not… I didn’t!”
Mo Chen’s long, well-defined fingers grasped her chin, and his other hand removed her sunglasses.
Then a pair of beautiful eyes, misted with water, was revealed, with teardrops clinging to her thick eyelashes.
So aggrieved, so pitiful.
The man’s pupils shook slightly—had she cried this much?
It seems he still had some importance in this Little Ghost’s heart.
Mo Chen gazed into her clear eyes, which resembled those of a deer, “Stalking me because you’re afraid I’ll have another woman, huh?”
“There’s no conclusion between us yet, so you can’t like another woman. Don’t be so despicable, okay!”
“Didn’t we have a conclusion two years ago?” He was doing it on purpose; he wanted to force Qiao Ruoxin to reveal the truth.
Qiao Ruoxin became anxious, “That was not a breakup I wanted!”
The man let out a mocking cold laugh, “Tell me, who forced you?”
“I… Mo Chen, isn’t it fine for us to be together now? Why do you always hold on to the past?”
Mo Chen’s expression instantly turned dark and cold, and he said in a chilling voice, word by word, “Either come clean, or stop wasting your time on me. I will not fall for the same woman twice.”
She felt as if she had been struck, her eyes widening in shock.
“Can you give me a few days to think it over?”
There are some things I really can’t tell you!
Mo Chen might directly fall into despair if he found out!
The man scoffed in disdain, “You need a few days to concoct a satisfactory lie to appease me?”
Chapter 53: Closing Your Eyes Again? The airport was bustling with people coming and going.
Qiao Ruoxin lifted her head slightly, staring at the man’s handsome face for a long time.
She closed her eyes, mustered her courage, and said to him, “After ‘Idol 101’ is over, I’ll tell you the whole truth, okay?”
Perhaps she really should tell Mo Chen about the incident from two years ago.
He had the right to know the truth.
Mo Chen slightly narrowed his eyes, fixing his gaze on her, and said in a deep voice, “I can give you time, but what I want to hear is the truth, not some fabricated lies to placate me.”
“I know, I will tell you everything that happened two years ago.” Her gaze was so firm, her face innocent and delicately charming.
Suddenly, the man took a step closer to her, a hint of uncontrollable possessiveness tinting his dark eyes.
He grasped Qiao Ruoxin’s slender wrist and led her to a secluded corner.
Qiao Ruoxin was pressed against the cold wall, looking up into the man’s profound eyes.
Mo Chen’s handsome face was taut, his perfect jawline exuding an indescribable sexiness.
His long fingers removed the mask from Qiao Ruoxin’s face, and then he saw her rosy lips, full and delicate.
The air was inexplicably filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Then, he removed her white baseball cap.
Mo Chen’s pupils shook slightly, his sexy Adam’s apple bobbing as he spoke in a husky voice, “Close your eyes.”
???
Close her eyes again?
What’s with all the tricks, this damn man!
But Qiao Ruoxin obediently closed her eyes anyway, with faint tear stains still on her cheeks.
The man stared at her lips, the image of her forcefully kissing him last night involuntarily flashing through his mind.
It seemed… not as bad as he had imagined.
He thought he was broken, unable to touch a woman again.
But the moment that Little Ghost Kissed him forcefully, he had responded intensely.
There was a flicker of hesitation in Mo Chen’s dark eyes, but he still lowered his head slowly and closed his eyes.
The next second, his lips captured hers.
Qiao Ruoxin’s eyelashes fluttered, and suddenly, her eyes snapped open, only to see his magnificent face magnified before her.
Her heartbeat accelerated.
Mo Chen’s hand cradled her head, deepening the kiss, rolling and tumbling, gentle and caring.
His other hand gripped her slender waist, pulling her close to his embrace.
The grip was strong, as if trying to meld her into his bones and blood.
…
In the car.
Mo Chen drove silently, his face expressionless.
While she sat in the passenger seat, she would occasionally steal glances at Mo Chen and then giggle softly.
“Qiao Ruoxin! Keep laughing, and I’ll throw you out of the car!”
Such a violent temper…
Damn man!
He was so gentle while kissing her just now, and he seemed to be very engaged and enjoying it!
Qiao Ruoxin blinked, her tone so innocent, “It seemed like you were enjoying that kiss just now.”
Considering how Mo Chen lost control and kissed her at the airport, that flight attendant couldn’t pose any threat to her.
Mo Chen frowned, his fierce gaze shooting her way, “I really want to kill you! Shut up!”
“You kissed me just now without my consent—you’re taking advantage of me,” she huffed proudly.
Mo Chen laughed in anger, scoffing, “What about you kissing me last night? Did you have my consent? And it was even recorded by four busybodies!”
She smiled slyly, unashamedly retorting, “I was provoked by you! I had valid reasons!”
“…”
Mo Chen continued to drive without any expression on his face.
Qiao Ruoxin glanced at the man’s tense jawline, then turned to look out the car window, the corners of her mouth curving up slightly.
Chapter 54: Watching Your Shameless Video Jiang Mansion One, living room on the first floor.
Mo Chen leaned on the sofa, his right arm propping on the armrest, slender fingers supporting his forehead as he looked down at the phone screen.
Within the brothers’ group chat.
Ji Haochuan: “@Mo Chen! Come out and see, the little video I edited for you!”
Bai Junyan: “Hahaha, you’re damn talented, even added BGM! Hahaha…”
Gu Mocheng: “Your angle won’t do, I was the closest at the time, got all the details.”
Lu Siheng: “@Ji Haochuan What BGM did you add? A cheesy love song? Ji’s taste is concerning.”
Ji Haochuan: “@Lu Siheng Haha, if you’re so capable, try doing it yourself! Do you think it’s easy for a young master like me to find time to create this video amid my busy schedule?”
Mo Chen: “Your days are numbered.”
Bai Junyan: “Don’t threaten me, I’m afraid I’ll accidentally send this video out if I get nervous.”
Mo Chen: “You still planning to get in bed with women?”
The brothers: “???”
Mo Chen: “I’ll take a photo of you in bed, you should know that I can do it.”
The brothers: “??????”
Bai Junyan: “Lord Mo, I was wrong!”
Ji Haochuan: “Bro, we were wrong, really wrong. What if I change the BGM to something sweeter?”
Gu Mocheng: “@Mo Chen My angle was the best, I’ll share it with you in private chat, don’t mess with me!”
Lu Siheng: “I’m deleting it right now!!!”
… The handsome man looked at the phone screen with a cold expression and tapped on the video sent by Gu Mocheng.
Mo Chen’s slender fingers gently pressed the play button, and the video showed Qiao Ruoxin kissing him…
Was his expression this enjoyable when he was kissed forcefully…?
A faint, almost imperceptible warmth finally appeared on his expressionless face, his lips curving up into a smile.
After washing her face upstairs, Qiao Ruoxin changed her clothes and then came downstairs.
She sat opposite the sofa and saw that Mo Chen’s expression was somewhat peculiar.
She slightly knitted her brows and asked, “What are you watching?”
Without looking up, Mo Chen replied in a deep voice, “Watching your shameless video.”
“Who’s shameless!”
Enraged, she got up, walked over to the man, and snatched the phone from his hands.
Qiao Ruoxin looked at the video on the phone and her eyes immediately widened in shock.
A blush spread across her cheeks.
This was too embarrassing!
The next second, Mo Chen took his phone back, watching her blush, chuckled, and teased, “Your kissing skills are mediocre too.”
At this moment, Qiao Ruoxin felt conflicted, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
“As if your kissing is any better!” she snorted arrogantly, turning her head away.
Just then, the phone started vibrating, showing on the screen: Father.
Mo Chen glanced at her, signaling her to be quiet with his eyes.
She obediently sat down beside him, not saying another word.
The man answered the phone: “Dad, go ahead.”
“Next month is your birthday, and I plan to hand over the chairman position to you. You’d better keep a low profile for a while, don’t cause any trouble, there are quite a few people watching you.”
Mo Chen responded indifferently, “Hmm.”
His father, Mo Tian, was the chairman of the board, and the current chairman of the corporation was about to retire.
After hanging up the phone, Mo Chen turned to the woman beside him and said in a grave voice, “I need to keep a low profile recently, understand?”
Qiao Ruoxin nodded, “Understood, I won’t let you trend on social media again.”
This was also one of the reasons Mo Chen liked her, she was smart, quick on the uptake.
She could guess many things without him having to explain.
Chapter 55: The Imperial City Scum Sent Her 999 Roses Qiao Ruoxin glanced at her wristwatch, the time had arrived, and she had to return to the training camp of “Idol 101” once again.
“Mo Chen, brother, I need to go back to the training camp.”
Just as she stood up, her slender wrist was seized by a large masculine hand.
She looked back into Mo Chen’s handsome features, which were as sculpted and artistically striking as a work of art.
The man lifted his eyes to meet hers, his tone cold yet deep, “Remember what you said, don’t let me down again.”
This was the last time he would trust her.
Qiao Ruoxin suddenly felt very heavy.
She smiled faintly, then turned and bent over to lightly kiss the man’s chin, whispering, “Don’t worry, I’ve figured it out, you have the right to know the truth.”
Having said that, she stood up and left.
Mo Chen laughed out loud.
In fact, everyone in the circle was waiting to see his embarrassment when Qiao Ruoxin returned this time.
Laughing at him for standing at the pinnacle of Asia’s wealthy, yet being dumped by a young girl.
…
Qiao Ruoxin was escorted back to the training camp by her bodyguard.
“Qiao Ruoxin! Someone sent you 999 roses!” Song Yingying burst into her room, shouting.
She was utterly bewildered.
Walking downstairs, she saw the person sending flowers arranging a massive bouquet there.
“Miss Qiao, please sign for this.”
She glanced at the roses and asked, “Who sent them?”
“We’re not sure about that; our job is just to deliver the flowers.”
Her phone rang, Qiao Ruoxin took a glance, it was an unknown number.
“Who is this?”
“I am Jian Chen, brother, Qiao sister, do you like the flowers I sent?”
Jian Chen???
The loser from the imperial city who was thrashed by Mo Chen a few days ago?
He sent her flowers? What’s his motive?
All the trainees were gathered downstairs, looking at the huge bouquet of roses, murmuring amongst themselves.
Qiao Ruoxin walked to a corner on the side: “What’s the meaning of sending me flowers? Didn’t get beat up enough the other day?”
“Qiao sister, I’ve seen the video of Mo Chen pushing you away too, we’re in the same boat now; we should join forces against him.”
???
Another idiot, matching perfectly with her stupid stepsister.
She scoffed disdainfully, “You can’t possibly be thinking of chasing after me to disgust Mo Chen, right?”
“That’s exactly my intention. You can make him even more disgusted, like trying to seduce him again, and then calling the police to say he raped you, haha…”
Such an idiot among idiots!
Qiao Ruoxin was about to hang up, but Jian Chen spoke again, “Let me tell you the truth, I’m going to destroy Mo Chen. He made me lose face! I’m going to thoroughly ruin his public image! I’ll make sure he can never rise again!”
???
This loser from the imperial city is stirring up trouble!
Mo Chen was about to take over the chairman’s position soon; his public image couldn’t afford any mishaps at this time.
“What do you want to do?”
“So, you’re interested too, huh? I knew you must hate him. The internet is buzzing with rumors that you’re throwing yourself at him to get back together, don’t you want to fight back?”
Qiao Ruoxin was losing patience: “Are you going to speak or not?”
“You don’t need to worry about that, just agree to my pursuit, and leave the rest to me,” Jian Chen sounded so confident on the other end of the phone.
“…”
What on earth does this idiot want to do?
One simply couldn’t predict using normal reasoning.
Qiao Ruoxin: “If you don’t speak, I won’t agree.”
She hung up the phone directly, because with Jian Chen’s intelligence, he was sure to keep harassing her.
Qiao Ruoxin looked at the few flower delivery staff with a faint smile: “I won’t accept the flowers, send them back.
Chapter 56: If I go to your room again, I’m a dog! Qiao Ruoxin had just returned to her room when she received a call from Mo Chen.
It was no surprise at all; the bodyguards must have reported the incident with the roses.
She answered the phone, “Mo Chen brother?”
“Throw away those trashy roses he sent you, did you hear?” His tone was nasty, as if he was angry.
“Mm, I already rejected them.”
Her response seemed to cool down the man on the other end of the line a bit, “Hmm, if you want them, I’ll send them to you, but you can only accept the ones I send.”
What a domineering man.
Qiao Ruoxin chuckled lightly, “Then will you send me 99,999 roses?”
“Hmm.”
She was startled for a moment, not sure if this man was actually serious?
“Mo Chen brother, I was joking, please don’t send them, I wouldn’t have anywhere to put them!”
“…”
She added, “Jian Chen just called me, he was the one who sent the roses. He also told me to join forces with him to get back at you, do you want me to go undercover for you?”
“Stay away from him. I’ll handle it. Don’t get involved.”
“Alright, I got it. Mo Chen brother, are you going to ambush my room in the middle of the night again?”
“What do you mean by that?”
She lay on the bed, unable to hold back her laughter, “Just so I can be prepared, in case you accidentally bump into it again, I can take immediate emergency measures!”
“…” After a few seconds of silence, a sinister voice came from the man, “Qiao Ruoxin! I really want to crush your bones!”
“You’ve wanted to kill me for more than a day or two now, I’m used to it.”
“Damn it! If I go to your room again, I’m a dog!”
Beep… Beep…
Looking at the hung-up call, she laughed out loud.
He was always a dog of a man to begin with.
…
Evening.
After finishing an eight-hour recording session, she returned to her room.
It was around midnight, and as soon as she entered her room, she was startled by the scene before her.
Because there was Mo Chen, sitting in the chair in front of her desk.
That man who claimed he’d be a dog if he entered her room again in the afternoon, why was he in her room at night???
Mo Chen stood up and walked towards her, his tall figure casting a shadow over the light in front of her.
“Mo Chen, didn’t you say you’d be a dog if you entered my room again?” she blinked her sparkling eyes.
The man’s face was expressionless, his voice cold and indifferent as he spoke, “Really? I don’t remember saying that.”
Shit!
What a dog of a man!
Shameless!
As he closed in, Qiao Ruoxin could only step back until she was cornered against the door with nowhere to go.
“So what are you here for?”
Mo Chen stood before her, looking down at her small face with its delicate makeup.
She hadn’t taken off the makeup from the program she just recorded.
“I remember you said my kissing skills were no good today.”
She looked bewildered, “So?”
“So, I’ve come to practice.”
Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes widened in disbelief.
The next second, Mo Chen’s handsome features drew close, bending down to capture her lips, sinking into them.
This man must have gone mad after two years of celibacy!
He’d just unlocked a new kissing skill, and now he couldn’t wait to test it out in the middle of the night?
“Mmm… Mo Chen, don’t go too far!”
“Little Ghost, to tell the truth, your kissing skills are terrible too.”
“…” Right, a dog of a man is still a dog!
Qiao Ruoxin placed her hands on the man’s chest, “You come to forcefully kiss me in the dead of night and then have the nerve to criticize me!”
The corners of the man’s mouth curved up, “Can’t I even speak the truth?”
“I don’t want to hear your ‘truth’!”
“Your kissing skills are very good.”
“…”
Could this dog of a man be any more hypocritical???
Chapter 57: Mo Chen, What is Your Inner Demon? Suddenly, the phone vibrated.
Mo Chen took out his phone and put it to his ear, “Wait for me downstairs.”
After hanging up, he lowered his head and kissed her again, his voice low, hoarse, and ambiguous, “Kiss for five more minutes, then I have to go.”
“Mmm… Mmm!”
Qiao Ruoxin had wanted to resist, but in the end, she hugged the man’s waist.
Just as she felt she was going to suffocate, Mo Chen finally released her.
Her fair, smooth cheeks were tinged with a touch of red, her breathing was disordered, and her lips were slightly swollen.
The man looked at her panting, and let out a disdainful cold laugh, “Little Ghost, why are you so useless? It was only five minutes.”
Qiao Ruoxin glared at him in anger, “You have the nerve to say that!”
Mo Chen’s phone vibrated again, but he didn’t answer it.
He looked at Qiao Ruoxin’s slightly swollen lips, his slender fingers caressing them, “I’m leaving.”
Qiao Ruoxin grabbed the man’s arm, “Mo Chen, where are you going!”
“To the company.”
Her body stiffened, “Aren’t you going to sleep? Can’t you sleep?”
Could he still not overcome his insomnia?
Mo Chen was silent for a few seconds, his handsome face returning to its usual indifference, his dark eyes void of emotion.
“Mm.”
He moved Qiao Ruoxin to the side, grasped the doorknob, preparing to open the door and leave.
“Sleep for two hours before leaving!”
A hint of surprise flickered across Mo Chen’s indifferent face, “Here? Are you sure?”
“Still pretending to be an innocent boy? You’ve barged in so many times at midnight, what’s wrong with sleeping for two hours?”
She pulled the man to the bed, pointing at the soft, pink, girlish bed, “Lie down! I’ll wake you in two hours.”
Mo Chen stared at her expressionlessly, his eyes darkening.
Seeing him staring unblinkingly at her, Qiao Ruoxin frowned, “Are you going to lie down or not? I’m really going to take your clothes off!”
The man found it somewhat amusing, and gave her forehead a hard knock.
“Ah!” Qiao Ruoxin covered her forehead, it really hurt!
“If clothes are to be taken off, it would be me taking off yours!”
Her little face was full of anger, “You really want to crack my skull, don’t you!”
Mo Chen took her hand away from her forehead, then saw that her forehead was indeed reddened.
He frowned slightly, rubbed it for her, his voice icy with mockery, “Getting more and more delicate.”
Qiao Ruoxin snorted disdainfully.
The next second, taking advantage of his distraction, she pushed him down onto the soft bed.
Panic flashed in Mo Chen’s dark eyes, and at this moment, the Little Ghost was pressing down on him.
He said sternly, “Get off!”
At that moment, his phone vibrated once again. Qiao Ruoxin took his phone and answered, “Wait another two hours, thank you, sorry for the trouble.”
Then, she hung up the phone.
Mo Chen’s hands clamped down on her slender waist with heavy force, as if intending to break it.
“Qiao Ruoxin! If it wasn’t because I can’t touch women right now, I swear I would make you cry!”
“…”
She looked into the man’s dark eyes, “Mo Chen, what is your heart demon? Why can’t you touch women?”
He was silent for a few seconds, then pushed her onto the bed beside him.
“I’ve forgotten.”
“What?” Her eyes were full of confusion, what did he mean by forgotten?
After the car accident two years ago, he began to feel disgusted by women, yet he had forgotten why.
Just being too close to a woman, a video of a man and a woman entwined would pop up in his mind.
Whenever he thought of that video, he would suffer splitting headaches, develop a fever, and be unable to stop vomiting.
Chapter 58: It’s Probably Just Me Bullying Others by Throwing My Weight Around The room’s atmosphere was so frigid it seemed as though she was in the Antarctic.
Qiao Ruoxin slowly lay down on the bed, extending her small hand again to cover the man’s eyes.
Her voice was clear and tender, “Mo Chen, brother, go to sleep, I will really wake you up.”
His dense eyelashes brushed across the palm of her hand as the man closed his eyes.
She looked at the man’s tense jaw, her eyes filled with distress.
Two hours later…
“Mo Chen, brother? Wake up, it’s time.”
The man opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Qiao Ruoxin’s beautiful and delicate little face.
He had actually fallen into a deep sleep.
Mo Chen stared at her face for three seconds, then glanced at his watch; two hours had passed.
He sat up, his long fingers resting against his forehead, and he closed his eyes for a minute.
Then, the man stood up, leaving the bed that was filled with the girl’s fresh scent.
“I’m leaving.”
His voice was lazy and steady, sounding very comfortable and providing a sense of security.
Qiao Ruoxin stepped forward to hug the man’s tall body, whispering, “Goodbye.”
Mo Chen looked down at her and responded indifferently, “Hmm.”
Until the sound of the closing door faded away.
A tinge of desolation appeared in Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes, which were as radiant as the stars.
What exactly had he been through these past two years?
Did he often stay up all night long?
…
It was already three o’clock in the morning, and everyone had gone to bed.
Mo Chen walked out unobstructed, his bodyguard waiting with the car parked under a tree.
Suddenly, a voice arose from behind him.
“Mo Chen, is it really appropriate for you to barge into the training camp in the middle of the night like this?”
It was Wen Wan.
Wen Wan, with her arms crossed, stepped in front of him, “Mo sir, could you give me a reasonable explanation?”
Mo Chen looked indifferent, “No explanation. If you really want one, it’s probably because I’m bullying others through power.”
“I’ve never understood, why is she special to you, because you’ve slept with her?”
He snorted disdainfully with a cold laugh.
Wen Wan frowned, “I was also the first person you said you would marry!”
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, “Are you sure you want to take seriously something I said when I was three years old? And that was under the direction of adults.”
“How does that matter? Qiao Ruoxin disappeared for these two years, and you were quite good to me, weren’t you? If it weren’t for her sudden return, we might have…”
Impatience flickered between Mo Chen’s brows as he cut off Wen Wan’s words abruptly, “I was merely carrying out my grandfather’s orders.”
Wen Wan was stunned.
“Mo Grandfather?”
“The Wen Family helped my grandfather in the past, and he remembered their kindness, that’s all.”
His indifferent manner left Wen Wan feeling cold.
Wen Wan’s eyes widened in surprise; she was at a loss.
“So, it seems my grandfather likes you quite a lot, but that doesn’t mean I do.”
Having said that, he walked towards the car without looking back, not showing the slightest hint of reluctance.
Wen Wan stood rooted to the spot, taking a long time to recover from the shock.
All this time, she had thought that Mo Chen had feelings for her, but it turned out he was just executing the orders of Mo Grandfather?
How could that be?
Impossible…
If it weren’t for Qiao Ruoxin, she and Mo Chen would definitely have been together!
It’s all because of Qiao Ruoxin!
She’d been gone for two years, so why did she have to come back?
Mo Chen’s attention had clearly shifted to her; it was just stolen away again by Qiao Ruoxin’s return.
…
Inside the room.
Qiao Ruoxin intended to go back to sleep when suddenly her cell phone rang.
She answered the phone, “Who is this?”
“It’s your brother Jian Chen.”
“Have you decided to tell me?”
“I can’t tell you too many details, I can only say that I am now fully confident that this time I will definitely take down Mo Chen! He might even end up in prison!”
“What on earth are you planning?” Qiao Ruoxin suddenly sat up, instantly becoming alert.
“Have you accepted my pursuit yet?”
Chapter 59: I Can’t Control Myself! Her animated eyes swiveled as she chuckled lightly, “Not really.”
Then, she hung up the phone directly.
Mo Chen had told her not to get involved in this matter, so she might as well obediently focus on the competition.
Qiao Ruoxin lay down to sleep, and after turning off the light, she unexpectedly smelled that man’s scent on the bedding.
Fresh and pleasant.
She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, at six in the morning.
There came a knock on the door from outside, and Qiao Ruoxin got out of bed somewhat sluggishly.
Frowning unhappily.
She was slightly grouchy upon waking up.
Upon opening the door, she saw Wen Wan standing outside.
Qiao Ruoxin raised her eyebrows slightly: “What is it?”
“Qiao Ruoxin, today is the first stage performance recording for ‘Idol 101’, and I hope you won’t use Mo Chen’s privileges anymore.”
So bluntly put.
She was laughed into anger so early in the morning: “Are you warning me?”
“Yes.”
She looked at Wen Wan outside the door, appearing calm and collected, but in reality, she probably couldn’t wait to kick her out of the show, could she?
“Wen Wan, if one day I marry him, will you just die of anger?”
Without waiting for Wen Wan to retort, she closed the door directly.
Wen Wan stood outside the door, suppressing her rage, and muttered in a low voice, “You’re just a toy and dream about marrying him, dream on!”
And then she stormed off.
…
The first stage performance recording for “Idol 101” ended at four in the afternoon.
After picking up Qiao Ruoxin, the bodyguard prepared to take her straight to Hengzhong Group.
“Miss Qiao, Master Mo is throwing a tantrum at the company, please go see him,” the bodyguard said.
She knitted her brows: “Why is he throwing a tantrum again?”
“We aren’t sure, you’ll know when you see for yourself.”
She nodded; this man’s temper was getting more and more volatile.
The car drove past the group’s skyscraper toward the underground parking garage.
Qiao Ruoxin glanced at the Hengzhong Group building, a famous landmark in the capital.
It was said to have been designed by a world-renowned architect, the exterior resembling a whale. At night, with the blue lights shining, it looked like a whale swimming through the darkness.
The President’s office.
Qiao Ruoxin didn’t knock but quietly pushed the door open and walked in.
She saw the office in a mess; almost anything that could be smashed was scattered on the floor.
Then, she saw Mo Chen’s tall figure standing by the window.
Just from his silhouette, one could sense how angry Mo Chen was, like a volcano about to erupt.
Qiao Ruoxin sidestepped the debris on the floor and walked up to the man’s side.
She was startled; Mo Chen’s black tie was hanging loosely under his collar, crudely undone by two buttons.
The man’s hair was somewhat disheveled.
“Get out!” Hearing movement behind him, his anger burst forth.
“Mo Chen, what’s wrong?”
Hearing her voice, the man’s body stiffened, and as he turned to see that small face that could instantly calm him, his gaze softened momentarily.
The next second.
Mo Chen pulled her into his embrace a bit roughly, his heavy grip tightening as he spoke in a deep, husky voice over her head, “Nothing, just lost my temper.”
Her slender arms wrapped around the man’s waist, gently patting his back.
“Who made you angry?”
“An intern secretary.”
“What did she do?” Qiao Ruoxin was actually quite curious.
The man was silent for three seconds, his voice chillingly cold, “She sat on my lap, repulsive, filthy.”
Qiao Ruoxin was taken aback, “How could she… sit on your lap?”
“I don’t know.”
The man released her, but then he grasped her chin, his dark eyes struggling with pain.
“Little Ghost, I… I lost control with her, I can’t even interact normally with a woman! I can’t control myself!”
Qiao Ruoxin then noticed his handsome face was somewhat pale, his eyes bearing the discomfort.
What had he just said?
He lost control? With the intern secretary?
“Mo Chen, did you really hit a woman? You… mmm!”
Before she could finish her sentence, she was silenced by his forceful kiss, stealing away all her shock.
Mo Chen hated to see her look at him like that, as if viewing a monster.
Chapter 60: The Lipstick Has Been Kissed Away The sky gradually darkened.
Qiao Ruoxin panted continuously, leaning against the man’s chest, listening to his agitated heartbeat.
She felt like she was about to suffocate from the kiss.
She also felt how uncontrollable Mo Chen’s emotions were at this moment.
Looking at the mess in the office, there was a sense of decay everywhere.
How could staying here improve anyone’s mood?
She frowned, “Let’s go eat, I’m starved because of your kisses.”
Her voice was soft and clear.
Mo Chen looked down at her, his voice cold and indifferent, “Your hair is messy.”
She stepped away from the man’s embrace, laughed, “That’s because of you.”
The man’s slender fingers combed through her smooth, tender hair.
Qiao Ruoxin’s beautiful eyes, distinct in black and white, watched him, “I don’t want to stay here, it’s even messier…”
Mo Chen’s eyebrows knitted together, his handsome face tight, he said coldly, “You go out, let me be alone for a while.”
???
This damn man’s master-temperament is acting up again!
“Mo Chen! I said I’m hungry, did you hear me?”
She also had a little temper!
“…”
The man stared at her for a few seconds and said in a deep voice, “Let them take you to eat.”
Qiao Ruoxin stepped forward and grabbed his tie with her small hand, “I won’t! I want you to take me!”
Looking at her feisty but cute demeanor, Mo Chen laughed out loud, raised his hand to touch her head, “Mhm.”
He agreed?
Qiao Ruoxin was instantly flustered. How could this damn man change his mind so fast?
“Alright, you’ve promised me, I’ll go to the restroom to touch up my makeup, my lipstick has all been kissed away.”
She flashed a sweet smile, tied his tie for him, and satisfied, she nodded her head and turned to leave.
The sound of the door closing fell.
The entire office returned to its icy coldness.
Mo Chen’s tall and imposing figure stood amidst the mess, looking forlorn and dejected.
…
Qiao Ruoxin came alone to the sixteenth floor and found the intern secretary who had been beaten.
Indeed… it was quite a sad sight.
A big shoe print on her clothes, Mo Chen had kicked her directly?
He’s not at all gentlemanly, showing no mercy or pity.
“Miss, are you alright?”
The secretary was crying, and when she heard the voice, she looked up in panic.
Qiao Ruoxin cut to the chase, “I won’t beat around the bush. Your medical expenses and compensation for emotional distress will be covered by the company, but sitting in your boss’s lap during work hours isn’t appropriate, is it?”
“I didn’t! I was just wearing high heels and accidentally fell into Mr. Mo’s arms, I really…”
Qiao Ruoxin smiled faintly, “I understand your little schemes. You might be somewhat attractive, but you’re far from Mo Chen’s standards. No matter what you do, he won’t notice you.”
“What do you mean by that, I didn’t!”
The secretary instantly turned red with nothing to say.
…
After Qiao Ruoxin left.
The secretary called Jian Chen from the Hengzhong Group.
“Mr. Jian, it’s a failure, Mo Ye isn’t interested in me, and his ex-girlfriend came to warn me.”
“What? She’s in Hengzhong Group? Does she still want to get back with Mo Chen?”
“Mr. Jian, I feel like Mo Ye seems to have a very bad temper, so bad that he can’t control himself; he even hit a woman like me.”
“You mean Mo Chen is sick? Has a temper disorder? Hahaha… he was as crazed as a lunatic when he hit me last time!”
“I’m not sure, I just felt that his emotions were very out of control.”
“Keep investigating for me! Don’t forget your brother is still in my hands, you don’t want him to suffer, right?”
The secretary, on the verge of an emotional breakdown, “Don’t hurt him!”
