Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Going to Pick Up My Treasure
Late at night.
Inside the KTV private room.
“Haha, Ruoxin, you lost again, truth or dare?” Xiaomi said with schadenfreude, pointing at her and laughing.
How could she not lose when a whole group of people were ganging up on her in the ga?
Qiao Ruoxin smiled calmly and lightly, “Dare.”
What truths were there to tell with this crowd?
As expected, Xiaomi couldn’t wait to make things difficult for her, “Call your ex-boyfriend and call him ‘brother’!”
“…”
Had they all decided that she and Mo Chen couldn’t get back together?
Everyone was barely holding back their laughter, waiting to see her make a fool of herself.
Qiao Ruoxin put on a troubled expression, “Let’s not do that, he’s quite busy, I don’t want to disturb him.”
Seeing her embarrassed and awkward, their vengeful hearts were greatly satisfied.
“No way, Ruoxin, you can’t cheat after losing a ga.”
“But, knowing Mo Chen’s temper, wouldn’t he just blow up on the spot? He’s known for being hot-headed.”
“I don’t think so, he should still give face to an ex-girlfriend, right?”
A dozen pairs of eyes were staring at her, anticipating her humiliating herself.
Qiao Ruoxin reluctantly took out her phone, “Fine, I’ll call, but if he doesn’t pick up, it doesn’t count as
cheating, right?”
Xiaomi urged her, “Hurry up, hurry up! Put it on speaker!”
She dialed Mo Chen’s number, and after three rings, the call connected.
Her soft, clear voice called out, “Mo Chen brother…”
The entire room held its breath, waiting for Mo Chen to ‘snap’ and hang up, or to curse with foul language, but…
From the other end of the phone ca a man’s deep and lazy voice, “Hmm?”
???
Everyone’s face was filled with confusion.
Why did he sound so gentle???
Qiao Ruoxin glanced at everyone’s shocked faces and let out a light chuckle, “Co and pick
up, I want to go ho.”
“Text
the address.”
“Mhm, bring
a bottle of water when you co, I’m thirsty. Make it chilled.”
“Room temperature, your period is about to start.”
“…”
The smile froze on her lips.
Everyone in the room was stiff-faced, too—were they so close already, had they gotten back together???
Qiao Ruoxin hung up the phone.
Everyone had a variety of expressions, looking extrely uncomfortable, and a deathly silence fell over the room.
“Ruoxin, have you and… Mo Chen already gotten back together? What about that video that was circulating online, of Mo Chen pushing you away…”
“Just so playful banter, normal interaction between couples.”
After speaking, she slowly stood up, “You all keep playing, I’m leaving first.”
Then, without looking back, she left the room, leaving the group to ruminate on the aning of ‘shooting oneself in the foot’.
…
Inside Mansion No. 7.
Bai Junyan held up a glass of orange juice and fed it to Lan Ke, cautioning gently, “Baby, drink slowly.”
“Thank you, darling~”
On the single-person sofa, Mo Chen had just ended the call when he caught sight of this sweet and affectionate scene.
Baby?
It was a term he had never used before.
Maybe won liked it?
The next second, he stood up, picking up his suit jacket that was lying beside him.
Bai Junyan couldn’t help but ask, “Where are you going?”
The man didn’t turn around, his voice lazy as he dropped a line, “To pick up my ‘baby’.”
The mont the door closed, Lan Ke spit out a mouthful of juice, her face the picture of disbelief, “What did he just say? ‘Baby’?”
It was fresh indeed—to hear those words co from Mo Chen’s mouth.
Bai Junyan muttered, “He’s gone mad, completely mad.”
