Ch. 61..70
Chapter 61: Uncle Mo is so cute Rooftop Restaurant.
Qiao Ruoxin and Mo Chen sat at the 36th-floor rooftop restaurant, admiring the breathtaking night view of the entire imperial capital.
The night breeze gently brushed her languid, tender long curls.
With a flicker of inspiration, she looked at the man opposite her, “Mo Chen, brother! Let’s go to the suburbs to stargaze later!”
Mo Chen’s dark eyes slightly startled, his tone impatient, “Not going!”
What was a grown man like him going to do watching stars?
He’d rather go to the zoo to watch gorillas!
The hopeful smile on Qiao Ruoxin’s little face disappeared instantly, whispering with a complaint, “That’s so unromantic…”
At that moment, the phone rang.
She answered the phone, “Who is this?”
“Baby, I’ve been looking for you for so long; I didn’t expect to find you on a talent show in the end.”
Her whole body stiffened at the sound of the man’s voice from the phone, her complexion turning a few shades uglier.
At this moment, Mo Chen was squinting at her, scrutinizing the changes in her expression after she took the call.
Qiao Ruoxin closed her eyes, “Sorry, you’ve got the wrong number.”
Then she hung up the call and blocked the number.
Mo Chen watched her, his voice deep, “Who?”
“My suitor, saying he wants to accompany me to watch the stars.” She picked up her glass and took a sip of lemon water.
The man sitting opposite instantly darkened, “Are you fucking tired of living, taking calls from another man right in front of me?”
Qiao Ruoxin looked innocent, laughing amusedly, “You’re not accompanying me to stargaze, so nobody else can?”
Suddenly!
The next second, Mo Chen abruptly stood up, striding towards her with an air of malevolence.
Startled by his aggression, she couldn’t help but shrink back, “What are you doing?”
The furious man glared at her, grabbed her delicate wrist roughly, and yanked her to her feet.
Qiao Ruoxin grabbed her bag, filled with terror, “Mo Chen! You’re not going to hit me, are you?”
After all, Mr. Mo had just gotten physical with a woman that day.
Yet her natural, genuine reaction made Mo Chen’s face color with embarrassment, obviously stung.
He clenched Qiao Ruoxin’s wrist as if he intended to crush it.
“Stargazing! I’ll fucking take you stargazing! Don’t just talk about stars; even if it’s aliens, they can only be watched with me!”
Mo Chen forcefully pulled her away from there.
She followed behind him, unable to refrain from a light chuckle.
This damn cute man.
Just stargaze if you’re going to stargaze, what’s with all the shouting?
Looking at his tall silhouette, and the arms revealed by the rolled-up sleeves of his shirt, adorned with a silver wristwatch.
Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t help but sigh, truly a burst of hormones.
…
An hour later.
Mo Chen parked his car in the suburbs, leaned on the front hood with a cigarette between his lips, the smoke swirling around.
Meanwhile, Qiao Ruoxin sat on the hood, looking up at the starry sky.
“How can you be so unromantic, you came here to smoke when I asked you to come to stargaze?”
The man glanced at her from the corner of his eye, “How much more romantic do you want me to be? Pick the stars for you?”
“…”
Damn man!
I have to forgive him a hundred times a minute just to keep the conversation going!
Qiao Ruoxin suddenly said, “Mo Chen, big brother, give me a piggyback.”
Mo Chen’s dark eyes fixated on her, his tone tinged with disdain, “As unsophisticated as a country bumpkin.”
A lethal blow to the soul!
She was infuriated into laughter!
Someone, take this damn man out and shoot him!
“How about I carry you then?” She barely suppressed the rage in her body, really wanting to bite him to death.
The man arched an eyebrow slightly, a touch of satisfaction in his eyes, “That would be acceptable.”
Chapter 62: She’s Carrying Mo Chen on Her Back Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
Not bad???
Is this even a man?
Mo Chen seemed to be in good spirits, he put out his cigarette and stood up, his towering figure straightening.
“Come on,” he said.
“Come on, what?” She was baffled and hadn’t caught on yet.
In a serious tone, the man spoke, “Weren’t you going to carry me? Come on, then.”
!!!
Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes widened like a startled little deer.
“Mo the Great, have you no shame? Asking a woman to carry you?”
Unexpectedly, Mo Chen used one hand to clasp her slender waist and lifted her off the ground.
His shameless reply was, “What do men need a face for?”
“…”
Oh well, considering his emotional breakdown today, she might as well indulge him.
Qiao Ruoxin moved her body a bit and then stood with her back to Mo Chen, “Get on!”
A smile played on the man’s lips, and just by getting close to her, his large frame enveloped her completely.
He wrapped his arms around Qiao Ruoxin’s thin, delicate frame, his body weight only half pressing on her.
Qiao Ruoxin instantly felt unsteady, as if bearing an unbearable weight of life!
She clung to the man’s arms and was already out of breath, “Mo Chen! Why are you so heavy…”
She had previously thought this damn man had thinned.
It seems that no matter how thin a man gets, he can still easily crush a woman.
In Mo Chen’s dark eyes flickered a mischievous indulgence, and his voice was languid and sexy: “Now I understand why women like being carried by men; it’s quite comfortable.”
Damn!
He was enjoying this?
Only after carrying this damn man on her back did Qiao Ruoxin realize what “every step is hard” truly meant!
She took a small, difficult step forward, feeling a layer of fine sweat forming on her forehead.
In truth, saying she was carrying Mo Chen was nothing more than him pressing his body weight onto her.
They could only move forward with him walking on his own.
But he was just enjoying the feeling of teasing Qiao Ruoxin.
Very cool!
Qiao Ruoxin frowned, enduring the man’s weight on her back, and said through gritted teeth, “Can… can we stop now? I can’t take much more.”
Mo Chen’s chin rested on her frail shoulder, “Little Ghost, hang in there, let’s keep going for half an hour.”
What the hell???
“Half an hour? You might as well kill me!”
In half an hour, she’d probably be spitting blood.
Suddenly, a low and eerie voice whispered in her ear, “Look at twelve o’clock, there seems to be a white shadow drifting by.”
Qiao Ruoxin instantly turned deathly pale, looking up in terror, but there was nothing.
This was a desolate wilderness, shrouded in pitch black, a chilling and horrifying atmosphere.
“Ah! There’s a ghost!”
She screamed and turned to fling herself into the man’s arms, clinging tightly to his body.
Then, she heard the man’s sinister laugh overhead, full of mockery…
Qiao Ruoxin was deathly afraid of ghosts, she couldn’t even watch horror movies!
She realized then that this damn man was just teasing her!
She pushed away his towering figure, “Mo Chen! I was kindly carrying you to cheer you up, and you’re messing with me? Go to hell!”
Qiao Ruoxin turned and stalked away angrily.
From behind her came the man’s languid and sexy voice, “Do you still think that stargazing is romantic?”
“…”
Damn man!!!
He wrecked her youthful romantic fantasy!
She continued on towards the car, fuming and unwilling to engage with him.
Mo Chen’s long legs quickly brought him in front of her, and he leaned down slightly, “Get on, let the boss show you what it really means to carry someone.”
She let out a proud huff, but her body honestly leaned onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck.
The next moment, she was lifted off the ground.
For Mo Chen, carrying her was a piece of cake.
She leaned on the man’s broad shoulders and gently blew into his ear, “It’s indeed more pleasant to the eye when a man carries a woman.”
That tender breath made Mo Chen’s strong body stiffen for a second.
“Fuck… Qiao Ruoxin, behave yourself!”
Chapter 63: How could I be unclear? Qiao Ruoxin smiled gently, her slender fingers playing with the man’s earlobe, “Mo Chen, brother, your earlobe is so thick, truly a sign of wealth.”
The man furrowed his brows, his lips tightly pressed.
His earlobe felt as if it was being gently scratched by the paw of a little kitten, itchy yet comfortable.
“Little Ghost, stop it.”
His voice was so hoarse, it had reached an ultimate low.
But Qiao Ruoxin, stirred by mischief, intentionally brought her lips close to Mo Chen’s ear and whispered, “The next episode of ‘Idol 101’ will broadcast my first performance, you must watch it~ I wore a very sexy black dress, and my figure is really good.”
Unexpectedly, Mo Chen poured cold water over her enthusiasm.
“You think I’m not aware of your figure? I’ve experienced it firsthand.”
“…”
Her smile gradually faded…
… and a touch of crimson coloured her pale cheeks, her mind involuntarily recalling her first time.
Actually, it was really awkward back then…
Seeing her silent for a long time, Mo Chen let out a doting chuckle, “Little Ghost, what are you reminiscing about?”
“Ah?”
Qiao Ruoxin came back to her senses, embarrassed and flustered, “No… nothing, I’m thinking, let’s go back.”
The man teased her on purpose, “I know what you’re thinking.”
“I’m not!” she immediately contradicted, clearly feeling guilty.
Mo Chen returned to the car, lifted her onto the front hood, and turned to look at her blushing cheeks.
His long fingers gripped her chin, his voice deep, “Still say you’re not? What’s with the blushing?”
“I’m not!!!” She vehemently denied, raising her voice.
Mo Chen was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, “So fierce?”
He felt that Little Ghost’s temper was starting to resemble his.
She snorted with feigned arrogance, “I learned it from you!”
Mo Chen’s brows knit tighter, the pressure on her chin increasing slightly, “You shouldn’t learn this, okay?”
“So you do know your bad temper isn’t good. I thought you were proud of it.”
“…”
At that moment, the phone began to vibrate.
He took out his phone for a glance, the screen displayed two words: Lin Xi.
Qiao Ruoxin, of course, saw it too, and in an instant, her heart plummeted to the abyss.
The flight attendant who flew international routes?
The Lin Xi who could sit down and have a proper chat with Mo Chen?
The light and pleasant atmosphere gradually vanished, becoming somewhat stiff.
Mo Chen answered the phone, and whatever was said on the other end, his expression turned a few shades uglier.
“I’ll be right there.”
Then he hung up the phone.
The man picked her up from the ground, his voice deep, “Let’s go back, I have an emergency.”
Qiao Ruoxin’s gaze dimmed, obediently returning to the passenger seat.
Then, Mo Chen drove away from the suburbs, almost at racing speed.
Was it so urgent? Just for that flight attendant?
Her heart ached fiercely; was that flight attendant also that important in Mo Chen’s heart?
What was originally an hour’s drive, the man accomplished in forty minutes, delivering her to the Jiang Mansion Number One.
“Go back to sleep,” Mo Chen said to her beside him, using a commanding tone.
Qiao Ruoxin’s suppressed emotions finally collapsed.
Her cold little hand grabbed onto the man’s arm, her voice soft and pitiful, “Mo Chen, brother, don’t go…”
Who would want their man to go to another woman in the middle of the night?
But Mo Chen furrowed his brows, looking down at her hand, “Why is your hand so cold?”
The temperature was indeed lower in the suburbs.
Chapter 64: Mo Chen Will Never Let Her Down The moment women fear the most is probably this one.
The man they love most abandons them, to find another woman.
Qiao Ruoxin felt her heartbeat accelerating, almost leaping out of her chest.
At this moment, her eyes were pitiful, staring fixedly at Mo Chen.
“Little Ghost, I will come back, I really have something, okay?” His tone was no longer so cold, it softened a bit.
Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes immediately filled with mist, as if a fishbone were stuck in her throat.
Her composure shattered.
Tears burst forth as she shouted angrily, “Is she dying! Why must she find you in the middle of the night! Are you going to collect her corpse!”
Such bitter and harsh language…
She didn’t want to be like this, but she couldn’t control her jealousy.
Sure enough, Mo Chen got angry and said sternly, “Qiao Ruoxin! Watch your language!”
Seeing the continuous tears of this Little Ghost, his eyes darkened.
Qiao Ruoxin, through tear-blurred eyes, watched him for a minute, then let go of his arm, turned around, opened the car door, and stepped out.
The man sighed deeply and called his bodyguard, Xiaowu.
The call connected, and Xiaowu’s voice came through, “Boss Mo, what are your orders?”
“Go to the hospital and check on Lin Xi, she was in a car accident.”
“Yes, I’m on it!”
Beep… Beep…
Mo Chen glanced at Qiao Ruoxin’s despairing back.
Two years ago, he had felt such despair.
He watched helplessly as Qiao Ruoxin supported another man, walking past him without even a glance, her tears streaming.
Desperate to the point of suffocation.
It was a feeling worse than death, even more painful than a thousand arrows piercing the heart.
He opened the car door and with long strides reached behind Qiao Ruoxin, wrapping his arms around her frail and slender body.
Qiao Ruoxin stiffened, her eyes full of shock behind the mist.
Then, the man’s deep and angry voice sounded in her ear, “You’re just a heartless little brat! I will never be as cruel to you as you are to me!”
He… he decided to stay?
Not going to see the flight attendant?
“Mo Chen, brother…”
“Damn it! Shut up! Don’t call me!”
But Qiao Ruoxin’s lips revealed a faint smile.
Mo Chen would never let her down.
She slowly turned and embraced the man’s body, took the initiative to stand on tiptoes, and kissed his lips.
But the man remained unmoved, standing expressionless, letting the Little Ghost take the initiative to kiss him, to seduce him.
After a long kiss without any response from him, it was really awkward…
Qiao Ruoxin stood up straight and looked at him with aggrieved eyes, “Are you a wooden man? You have no reaction at all.”
Mo Chen snorted contemptuously, giving a cold, scornful laugh, “Do you think it’s all right to just kiss randomly like this?”
She was slightly taken aback, “Then what… what do you want?”
The next second.
The man directly picked her up by the waist, and the Qiao Ruoxin in his arms instinctively hugged his neck.
“Tonight you sleep with me.”
Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes widened, staring at the man’s perfect side profile, and couldn’t help but mutter softly, “But you can’t touch women again.”
The color of the man’s face darkened a bit, the force on her slender waist grew a bit stronger.
A sudden burst of irritability, “Damn it, I just want to plainly sleep with you! Is that not okay!”
She instantly cowered…
“Okay…”
The truth is, Boss Mo could be really scary when he was furious, his aura too intimidating.
Mo Chen carried her all the way up the stairs, returning to his master bedroom.
The man set her down on the bed, “I’m going to take a shower.”
Then, he turned and walked toward the bathroom.
Chapter 65: Just Want to Get Closer to You Late at night.
The bedroom is shrouded in darkness.
On the soft, cottony bed lie two people, as if an ocean is between them.
A sapphire blue comforter covers Qiao Ruoxin’s chest, and she turns her face to look at Mo Chen beside her, pouting slightly.
Bastard man…
Keeping such a distance from her, is he afraid she’ll molest him?
She quietly creeps towards Mo Chen, inching closer and closer.
In the darkness, the man’s indifferent voice rings out, “Don’t move.”
Qiao Ruoxin immediately stops shifting, holding her breath.
She glances at the man drawing ever nearer and says softly, “Mo Chen brother, why are you so far away from me?”
“And what are you trying to do by getting so close?”
Uh…
Unable to restrain herself, Qiao Ruoxin chuckles softly, “Nothing, I just want to be closer to you. Is that not okay?”
No sooner had her words fallen than she snuggled up and hugged the man’s arm.
A refreshing, subtle fragrance invades the man’s nostrils, bewitching him.
Mo Chen’s sexy Adam’s apple bobs, his arm embraced tightly by this Little Ghost, that soft sensation.
Fuck…
It’s damn fatal!
Suddenly!
The man turns over and pulls her into his arms, with a firm grip, as if kneading into his bones and blood.
His deep, husky voice slowly rises by her ear, “Little Ghost, stop fidgeting, it’s distressing me.”
Qiao Ruoxin responds, “Mhm, let’s sleep.”
She breathes in the distinct scent belonging to Lord Mo, a light mint aroma, very refreshing.
Closing her eyes, a beautiful curve forms on her lips.
She remembered the last time she shared a bed with him was two years ago.
Back then, Mo Chen was involved in a research project and hadn’t seen her for a month.
Barely waiting for his return, he only slept with her for one whole night before getting tangled up in his busyness again.
She was so annoyed that she entertained thoughts of breaking up.
However, it was during that time, in the cold winter, Mo Chen waited for her in the car the entire night.
At six in the morning, he saw her being sent home by her stepfather’s son, then erupted like a volcano, getting into a fight.
Qiao Ruoxin had never seen him so angry before, with a murderous aura, beating someone to near death, blood everywhere.
If she hadn’t intervened, Mo Chen might have been guilty of manslaughter.
…
The next day, early morning.
Qiao Ruoxin opens her eyes, still heavy with sleep, and reaches for the spot beside her.
It’s ice cold…
She suddenly opens her eyes wide, the man’s figure is already gone from her side.
Getting out of bed, she puts on the robe hanging nearby and heads downstairs, where she finds the housekeeper cleaning.
“Miss Qiao, you’re awake. Would you like some breakfast?” the housekeeper asks proactively.
However, Qiao Ruoxin asks, “Where is Mo Chen? When did he leave?”
“Master Mo left at seven o’clock. He instructed me to wake you up for breakfast at eight-thirty.”
A tightness grips her heart.
Last night, because of her antics, Mo Chen didn’t go to find the flight attendant.
So, did he go to see that Lin Xi so early this morning?
At this thought, discomfort sweeps over her body, and anger rises to her head.
Qiao Ruoxin looks at the housekeeper, “How long have you been working here?”
“A year and a half.”
She frowns, unable to hold back her query, “Do you know if Mo Chen knows a flight attendant? Named Lin Xi, has he ever brought that flight attendant home?”
The housekeeper thinks for a moment and answers, “A flight attendant? Are you talking about Miss Lin Xi?”
Qiao Ruoxin’s heart skips a beat.
Even the housekeeper knows Lin Xi? Has she already been here?
“It is Lin Xi. What is their relationship? Does Mo Chen like her?” Her heart feels anxious—she wants to know, yet fears knowing.
“It shouldn’t be anything. She’s never been here, but once Master Mo left his phone at home, and Miss Lin Xi called all day long. I picked up and that’s how I know her.”
Hearing this, the stone hanging in her heart finally drops to the ground.
Chapter 66: #Mo Chen Hits Someone Again# Tops the Trending Searches Hospital, VIP ward.
Lin Xi lay on the hospital bed with a piece of gauze on her forehead, her complexion somewhat pale.
“I’m really sorry about last night. I was unconscious then, and they probably called you because you were the last person I talked to,” she said.
Mo Chen, dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit, sat in a chair.
His aura was noble yet indifferent, and his handsome features were captivating.
“It’s okay.”
Lin Xi looked at him, “Xiaowu came last night, were you very busy?”
The man replied indifferently, “Yeah, something came up last minute, I couldn’t get away.”
“Oh…”
At that moment, a nurse pushed open the door of the ward and came in, changing to a new IV bag.
Thinking Mo Chen was Lin Xi’s boyfriend, the nurse cautioned, “You’re her boyfriend, right? She can’t eat anything during the day today, but she can have porridge tonight…”
“I’m not,” Mo Chen answered coldly, without a moment’s hesitation.
The nurse looked up at him and was genuinely stunned by his dark eyes and striking appearance.
Lin Xi quickly said, “Nurse, you’ve misunderstood, he’s not my boyfriend.”
The nurse apologized awkwardly, “Sorry,” and then turned and left.
Mo Chen lifted his wrist, glanced at the time, and said in a deep voice, “Xiaowu will stay here, I have to go.”
“Okay, goodbye.”
As he reached the door, at the instant he was about to open it, his mobile phone vibrated.
He took a quick glance at his phone and froze in his tracks, rage igniting in his eyes.
The latest Weibo hot search popped up: [Mo Chen has hit someone again!]
The next second, the phone was violently thrown to the ground, the screen instantly shattered.
Lin Xi on the hospital bed was startled, holding her breath as she watched his towering, furious figure.
…
#Mo Chen Has Hit Someone Again# shot to number one on the trending search, boom!
The topic’s views directly skyrocketed to two hundred million.
Marketing accounts with a unified script said, [The son of Asia’s wealthiest, “Master” Mo Chen, has hit someone again! And again, it’s a woman! Said to be an intern secretary at Hengzhong Group, does Mo Cheng have a mental disorder or a character defect?]
The post was also accompanied by a photo of the female secretary with eyes reddened from crying and a vicious footprint on her blouse.
The comments section exploded!
[Holy shit, how has Mo Chen hit someone again, last time it was the scum of the capital, this time an intern secretary?]
[Does Mo Chen really have character issues, why does he resort to hitting people at the drop of a hat, and it’s a woman this time, blatantly kicking her chest!]
[I really can’t support him on this one, what kind of man hits women!]
[Suddenly I remember the last time he pushed Qiao Ruoxin in that video, isn’t Mo Chen’s character too despicable?]
[To actually raise his hand against a woman! That’s just low! This is practically a sign of domestic violence tendencies! Qiao Ruoxin better stay away from him!]
[Looking at the footprint on the secretary’s blouse in the photo, it’s so harsh, clearly, he didn’t kick lightly!]
[I didn’t expect Mo Chen to be a scumbag? What’s gotten into him lately, constantly hitting people and trending? Was he just pretending to be low-key before?]
[Thinking about how his dad has been sitting tight on the position of Asia’s richest man for so many years now, this little brat is so full of himself, acting like the Crown Prince.]
…
In the hospital room.
Jian Chen, the capital’s trash, looked at his phone and laughed unrestrainedly, his face glowing with schadenfreude.
“You little bastard, you just haven’t been beaten by society yet! Enjoy the taste of internet violence now,” he said.
Originally, he intended for the female secretary to seduce Mo Chen to create a scandal of Mo Chen assaulting the secretary.
Unexpectedly, this little brat actually hit someone, directly delivering the leverage into his hands.
Seeing Mo Chen being cursed and mocked by netizens, Jian Chen was feeling one thing: exhilarated!
Chapter 67: Give You Five Minutes Hengzhong Group.
Ding-dong, the elevator doors opened slowly.
Qiao Ruoxin walked out, her delicate and beautiful face hidden behind a pair of cool black sunglasses, concealing most of her visage.
She had returned to the 16th floor to find that intern secretary.
“No need for nonsense, what did that trash from the capital use to lure you into doing this? Or did they threaten you?”
The female secretary was panicked: “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Qiao Ruoxin’s lips, rosy and moist, parted slowly: “Did they bribe you with money? Or did they take photos of you undressed? Or maybe… they kidnapped a family member?”
The secretary gaped, blurting out unconsciously: “How did you know?”
She smiled faintly: “That’s as smart as the trash from the capital gets. What brilliant scheme could you expect from him?”
“Miss Qiao, can you really help me? He’s kidnapped my brother! My brother is autistic! I…”
Qiao Ruoxin sighed softly: “I can help you rescue your brother, but you must help clear Mo Chen’s name. Do you think you can talk about happiness if you ruin his life? He’s far more fearsome than the trash from the capital.”
The secretary turned as white as a sheet: “I didn’t want to, it was Jian Chen who forced me!”
“I know, I know, I’m going to save your brother now, don’t worry.”
Qiao Ruoxin patted the female secretary’s shoulder and then turned to leave.
Just as she was turning, she saw a tall and imposing figure standing before her.
Mo Chen’s handsome face was tense as he stood in front of her, letting out a cold chuckle: “You’re a step ahead of me.”
She brushed past the man: “Time waits for no one, I’m leaving first.”
Her wrist was suddenly gripped.
The man’s voice was filled with anger: “You are not allowed to look for that trash!”
Qiao Ruoxin raised her eyes to meet his handsome face: “Then will you come with me?”
…
Outside the hospital, high-level ward.
Mo Chen stood to the side, an unshakeable murderous aura clinging to him.
He himself deliver Little Ghost to meet with that capital’s trash?
Qiao Ruoxin stepped forward and hugged the man’s rigid body, even caressing his abs with her small paw: “Brother Mo Chen, your abs are so impressive…”
The man’s expression darkened, watching her carefree demeanor, he barked furiously: “Shut up!”
She couldn’t help but laugh softly: “You’re right outside, what could go wrong?”
Mo Chen closed his eyes, trying to suppress his anger, and said in a deep voice: “You have five minutes.”
“Ah? Five minutes? That’s too short, our kisses last longer than that,” she said innocently.
“Qiao Ruoxin! I really want to kill you!”
“Then five minutes it is…”
Even though time was tight, she’d have to make it quick.
Qiao Ruoxin pushed open the door to the ward and went inside.
As she closed the door, Mo Chen’s fists, hanging by his sides, clenched tightly, his knuckles cracking.
In his dark eyes, a deep hatred was brewing.
Standing outside this door, every second was torture.
He felt he might not even last five minutes.
Mo Chen’s breathing became erratic, and he began to suffer a headache, his long fingers pressing against his forehead as his complexion turned slightly pale.
In his mind, that video of a man and woman entwined kept surfacing.
He never knew who the people in that video were.
Why did it keep lingering in his mind?
And why did he remember this disgusting, filthy scene?
His jawline tensed, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Chapter 68: Maybe He Has Some Psychological Barrier? In the high-end ward.
Upon seeing Qiao Ruoxin, Jian Chen was shocked, unable to recover for a long time.
“Sister Qiao?”
She walked to the bedside, revealing a sweet smile.
“Brother Jian Chen, that female secretary is your person, right?”
“Sister Qiao, you have really disappointed your brother. After all Mo Chen has done to you, you still think about getting back together with him?”
Ruoxin sat in the chair, looking poised. “Brother Jian Chen, I have a secret to tell you.”
“What secret? You’ve had a crush on your brother for many years?”
She shook her head. “You’ve directed your vendetta at the wrong person.”
The smile on Jian Chen’s face instantly turned into surprise. “What did you say?”
“That video that made you infamous throughout the internet, it was actually filmed by me.” Her delicate index finger pointed to herself, her lips curving into an elegant smile.
Instantly, Jian Chen’s face turned pale.
Ruoxin continued, “You’d better release his brother soon, or before long, you’ll be infamous throughout the internet again, and you’ll even end up in jail.”
“You… What do you want to do?”
She had already stood up, smiling faintly. “Don’t believe me? Just try and see.”
Her smile was clean and innocent, yet it sent chills down Jian Chen’s spine.
…
Outside the ward.
Exactly five minutes later, the door opened.
Qiao Ruoxin came out and immediately saw Mo Chen looking somewhat sickly.
Her heart ached.
“Brother Mo Chen, what’s wrong with you?”
When Mo Chen saw her come out, his deeply furrowed brows gradually smoothed out, and he said faintly, “It’s nothing.”
He deliberately suppressed the discomfort on his handsome face.
The next second!
The tall body of the man fell backward heavily, hitting the ground with a dull thud, falling into a coma.
Ruoxin’s eyes widened in an instant, and tears welled up.
In that moment, her heart seemed to skip a beat, the pain suffocating her.
…
Back in the ward.
Mo Chen was in a feverish coma.
“Doctor, why is he like this?”
“Mr. Mo’s physical examination results are all normal. He’s experiencing a physiological fever, which is due to mental stress. Could he be suffering from some kind of psychological trauma?”
Psychological trauma…
Those words silenced Ruoxin.
After the doctor left, Ruoxin sat on the chair, watching the man in a coma.
His face was pale, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, as if he was emotionally out of control even in his dreams.
“Brother Mo Chen, what exactly is your demon?”
She really wanted to know, but Mo Chen would always brush her off, claiming he had forgotten.
Suddenly, the man began to talk in his sleep, his voice low and weak but filled with rage.
“Delete it! Delete the video!”
“Did you hear me! Delete the fucking video!”
Ruoxin frowned, listening to his dream talk, her conviction deepening.
Mo Chen’s demon was this so-called video.
But what exactly was this video???
As evening approached, Mo Chen woke up, his gaze immediately meeting Ruoxin, who had fallen asleep resting her head on her hand.
The man reached out to touch her hair, which was warm and romantic to the touch.
Ruoxin, groggy, opened her eyes and upon seeing him awake, brightened.
“Brother Mo Chen, you’re awake!”
“Hmm.”
“I’ll get you a glass of water.”
She got up to fetch him a cup of warm water, then helped him sit up and handed him the glass.
Mo Chen took only a shallow sip before setting it aside.
“How long did I sleep?”
“Six hours.”
His voice was low and hoarse, “I fainted again?”
Again?
That word was heartrending.
Ruoxin nodded.
His complexion looked even worse.
Actually, the last thing he wanted was for Ruoxin to see him in such a sorry state.
Chapter 69: You Are Not Allowed to Like Someone Else Eight o’clock in the evening.

The beaten female secretary released a video herself clarifying that she faked everything, there was no assault, and even the shoe print was fabricated.
This plot twist left the vast majority of netizens speechless.
[What the hell is this! Are you sick? Why would you fabricate rumors that you were beaten by the son of Asia’s richest man? Did you get your head caught in a door?]
[Mo Chen is generous for not suing you, consider yourself lucky. Your career is over now, which company would dare to hire you?]
[News nowadays just keeps turning and turning again. I don’t even dare to voice my opinion anymore.]

…
In the car.
Qiao Ruoxin sat in the passenger seat, scrolling through Weibo, occasionally emitting delightful laughter.
“Mo Chen, brother, for helping you with this big favor, how are you going to thank me?”
Mo Chen, who was driving, glanced at her indifferently, “What do you want?”
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, “Hmm… How about getting back together with me?”
The man snorted derisively, casting a cold glance at her, “You said break up, so we broke up. You say get back together, and we get back together, making me seem like the woman.”
“…”
Just… still the same jerk!
He was a bit gentler while unconscious, but now awake, he was back to his old Mo Chen self.
Just then, the phone vibrated.
Mo Chen pressed the car’s display screen to answer the call.
His father Mo Tian’s voice came through, “Mo Chen, the World Bank deputy director’s daughter is coming to the country next week for a private trip. You host her. If you like her, give it a chase. If you manage to win her over, you’d be winning glory for the nation.”
Qiao Ruoxin, sitting in the passenger seat, instantly widened her eyes and gazed at the man’s profile.
A trace of irritation appeared between Mo Chen’s brows as he said in a deep voice, “Dad, I’m not interested, and I don’t like her.”
“Fine, fine, I’ll send you the contact details later. Young rascal, let me tell you! Don’t send someone to stand in for you. You must go yourself!”
He responded nonchalantly, “Mm.”
Beep… beep…
The call ended.
Qiao Ruoxin stared at the man’s profile, “Mo Chen, brother, until you and I resolve our situation, you’re not allowed to like anyone else. Otherwise, I will bully them.”
The man let out a scornful chuckle, “The World Bank deputy director’s daughter, go ahead and bully her if you dare.”
She smiled lightly, “I have you to back me up.”
A pampering smile appeared at the corners of Mo Chen’s mouth, and he burst out laughing, “Little Ghost, you know full well that I simply can’t touch women, not even get close.”
Qiao Ruoxin blinked and pondered for a moment, “Hmm… you’re right, but liking them even just mentally is also not allowed!”
This jerk really had such an exalted status and position.
Standing at the pinnacle of Asia’s circle of the wealthy, he had seen too many beauties.
In fact, for Mo Chen to remain low-key in that position was already a feat.
A regular person with all his possessions would probably have become unbearably arrogant by now.
Qiao Ruoxin’s gaze drifted off as she stared at his profile.
But the man suddenly grew irritable, “Stop staring at me, damn it!”
Because he felt out of control, with an urge to immediately stop the car and kiss her forcefully.
Chapter 70: Mo Chen, You’re a Beast! Qiao Ruoxin was slightly startled and looked at him with a hint of grievance in her eyes, “Why…”
Suddenly!
A sudden stop, parked at the roadside.
Her body couldn’t help but lean forward, a look of confusion on her face.
Before she could react, she saw Mo Chen next to her impatiently unbuckling his seat belt, leaning toward her.
Qiao Ruoxin’s thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Then the man’s lips kissed her forcefully and intensely, with a faint mint scent.
Leaving her powerless to resist.
“Mmm!”
Outside the windshield, people could still be seen coming and going!
Qiao Ruoxin wanted to push him away, but how could she match the strength of a man who was 188 centimeters tall?
“Now you know why?”
“…”
What’s with this self-righteous tone of the dog of a man?
Does he actually think he’s in the right?
Mo Chen stared into her clear eyes for three seconds, then kissed her again, reluctant to part, savoring her this time.
Right at that moment…
Noises of someone tapping on the car window came from outside.
Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes were filled with panic as she pushed Mo Chen away with all her strength.
The man didn’t force her anymore, but returned to the driver’s seat, a smile curling on his lips.
Qiao Ruoxin rolled down the window to find a kind-looking old man.
“Grandpa, is there something wrong?”
“Young lady, you can’t park here or you’ll be fined!”
Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, becoming even more flustered after the old man’s comment.
“Sorry, sorry, we’re leaving now, right away!” she said with an embarrassed face, wishing she could just hide in a crack in the ground!
This damn man! It’s all his fault!
The car window slowly closed.
Qiao Ruoxin turned and glared furiously at that shameless man, “Mo Chen, you’re nothing but a beast!”
However, Mo Chen simply chuckled, his laughter filled with pleasure.
Looking at her slightly swollen lips, he felt a sense of satisfaction.
Perhaps, he really was psychologically twisted.
…
Mo Chen drove her to the training camp, then left.
At nine o’clock in the evening, the third episode of “Idol 101” officially aired, the first performance.
In just half an hour, #QiaoRuoxinBehindTheScenes climbed to the second spot on the hot search list.
And Mo Chen’s Weibo account, which he hadn’t used in years, miraculously liked the post.
The whole internet was abuzz!
[OMG! Mo Chen actually liked Qiao Ruoxin’s behind-the-scenes video! Are these two hinting at a reunion?]
[She’s getting more beautiful! How could Mo Chen not be moved!]
[Honestly, Sister Qiao’s first performance was stunning! Mortal Princess! Destined to debut at the center!]
[Who designed that outfit for her! Come out and take credit! Have a chicken leg! That body is just too amazing! That spaghetti strap bodycon dress is so sexy!]
[Mo Chen, stop holding back and openly watch your ex-girlfriend’s show!]
[Sister Qiao’s face fits all the heroines of the romance novels I read! Hurry up and let her shoot an idol drama! I want to see her fall in love!]
[Holy smokes, I’m crying it’s so beautiful! Watch it once a day to prevent premature love! I’ll definitely marry someone like Sister Qiao in the future!]
[I’ve discovered a mind-blowing scoop! Mo Chen’s Weibo account only posts a photo of fireworks each year on Qiao Ruoxin’s birthday! Has he been in love with Sister Qiao all along? Moreover, Qiao Ruoxin said in the show that she likes watching fireworks.]
[Damn, damn! I knew Mo Chen never posts on Weibo, but why does he only post a photo of fireworks each year? Could it be that the day is Qiao Ruoxin’s birthday??]
[Case closed, case closed! Mo Chen definitely still loves Qiao Ruoxin! I predict they’ll definitely get back together, or else I’ll eat poop live on stream!]
[What about that video where he pushed away Qiao Ruoxin? Flirting or quarreling?]
