Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Xiaowu, did sothing happen while you were abroad?
Qiao Ruoxin gazed at the man’s broad back for a long ti before she moved closer and embraced him from behind.
She felt the man’s body stiffen for a second.
Then, Mo Chen turned around and pulled her into his arms, kissing her smooth, fair forehead lightly, and whispered to her, “Go to sleep, goodnight.”
“Brother Mo Chen, are you really okay?”
“I’m fine.”
She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, but soon she heard the man’s even breathing.
Asleep?
It seed he was indeed very tired. Perhaps he was still suffering from jet lag? Is that why he stopped all of a sudden?
It must be that…
Qiao Ruoxin also gradually drifted off into sleep, where she dread that the wedding dress was ready, stunningly breathtaking, and everyone in the dream was blessing their wedding.
The next morning.
With a sweet smile on her lips, she slowly opened her eyes, only to realize it had all been a dream.
The man beside her was nowhere to be seen.
Qiao Ruoxin sat up, rubbed her eyes, reached for her phone, and then turned it on.
As soon as she turned it on, her agent’s call ca through.
She answered the phone in a languid voice, “Hello…”
“Ruoxin, there’s a brand event this afternoon. Get ready, and we’ll co to pick you up.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, she patted her cheeks to wake herself up a bit more.
Then she got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After changing clothes and going downstairs, Qiao Ruoxin saw the nanny approaching, “Miss Qiao, would you like breakfast?”
“No need, has Mo Chen gone to the office?”
“I heard Xiaowu say Master Mo had to accompany the Chairman on a visit to Imperial Capital University today, so he set off very early.”
“Oh…”
Everything seed normal, yet there was a faint hint of sothing odd.
…
Imperial Capital University.
The executives of Hengzhong Group toured the university in a grand manner, with Mo Tian at the forefront, while Mo Chen, dressed in a suit, walked on his father’s left.
The dia caras followed, filming material for tonight’s news highlights.
Mo Tian glanced at his son and deliberately lowered his voice, “There’s a dinner engagent tonight, and the Lu Family will be there. You must go.”
A flicker of displeasure crossed Mo Chen’s handso face, “Must I?”
“You must!” Mo Tian’s tone was firm.
He simply responded with a terse, “Hmm.”
His tense jawline was proof of his inner displeasure.
…
Evening.
Qiao Ruoxin had finished the brand event that afternoon and returned to her car.
She leaned against the car window, looking worn out, yet she noticed that the driver was Xiaowu.
“Xiaowu?”
“Miss Qiao, Master Mo asked
to pick you up to accompany him to a dinner engagent.”
A flash of light appeared in Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes, and she sat up straight, asking, “Xiaowu, did sothing happen while you were abroad? Why do I feel like sothing is off with Mo Chen?”
Xiaowu replied calmly, “Nothing.”
She wanted to ask more, but decided against it.
Xiaowu clearly didn’t want to tell the truth.
An hour later.
The car slowly stopped outside Shenghao Hotel, and the doorman ca up to open the door.
She got out of the car and went into the hotel, then took the elevator.
Xiaowu escorted her to the rest area on the fifteenth floor.
Qiao Ruoxin caught sight of the man standing by the window, his back to her, at once.
“Brother Mo Chen.”
The man turned around at the sound of her voice, a trace of warmth appearing on his indifferent, handso face as he smiled.
Mo Chen, tall and striking, walked up to her and took her small hand with a frown, “Why are your hands so cold?”
“It’s a bit chilly outside tonight.”
He tightened his grip on her hand and said in a deep voice, “We’ll just make an appearance, no more than half an hour, okay?”
She nodded obediently, “Okay.”
…
The private room was lavishly decorated and quiet.
But peals of laughter and cheerful voices were occasionally heard.
Mo Tian laughed, “Xingxing has beco even more beautiful now. I recall the last ti I saw her she was just four or five years old.”
“Your Mo Chen isn’t bad either, I often see his news abroad. The kid is quite accomplished at a young age,” Lu Ming chuckled.
Sitting beside Lu Ming was his daughter Lu Xingxing, a pampered and willful little princess.
At that mont, soone interjected, “Hey, didn’t your two families arrange a marriage for your children back in the day?”
The atmosphere turned awkward…
Mo Tian just laughed without speaking, lifting his glass to drink.
To ease the atmosphere, Lu Ming said, “Back then, I thought I had a say, but I’ve realized now that when it cos to the kids, we can’t intervene at all.”
“Exactly, Dad, what era are we in? You’re still arranging marriages for us…” Lu Xingxing complained in a low, reluctant voice.
Lu Xingxing had long heard that Mo Chen had a temper as fierce as a wild beast. She disdained such a man! Even if he had a high status and was handso, she didn’t find him appealing!
Seeing Lu Xingxing’s attitude, Mo Tian actually breathed a sigh of relief.
As they spoke, a series of footsteps ca from outside the private room.
Mo Tian was the first to speak up, “It must be that little rascal from my house.”
Consequently, everyone looked over unanimously.
The next second, Mo Chen walked in with Qiao Ruoxin, greeting nonchalantly, “Dad.”
Then, he turned to Lu Ming, “Uncle Lu.”
He briefly greeted the other uncles and acquaintances as well.
After that, he took Qiao Ruoxin with him and sat down at the dining table.
When Lu Ming caught sight of Mo Chen, he was genuinely stunned—Mo Chen was much taller and more handso than he had imagined… but why was there a woman with him?
“Mo Tian, this Mo Chen of yours is indeed more impressive in person, rightfully considered the most handso among the second generation elite,” soone exclaid.
Mo Tian couldn’t stop grinning, “It’s mainly because of my good genes as a father.”
Listening to the elders’ exaggerated praise, Lu Xingxing looked disdainful. With such a temper, how handso could he be?
But after a casual glance, Lu Xingxing’s eyes widened in shock. How could it be him!!!
Qiao Ruoxin also noticed Lu Xingxing’s gaze and leaned towards Mo Chen’s ear, “Why is that woman staring at you?”
The man glanced indifferently and said in a deep voice, “Maybe she thinks I’m handso?”
She couldn’t help but chuckle and gently slapped Mo Chen’s long leg under the table.
So for the next half hour, Lu Xingxing kept her eyes fixed on Mo Chen, unblinkingly, as if transfixed.
Mo Chen glanced at his wristwatch and slowly spoke up, “Enjoy your al, uncles. I have so matters to attend to and must leave now.”
After speaking, he stood up, and Qiao Ruoxin also stood up and nodded with a smile.
“Could you give
a ride? It’s quite boring for a youngster like
to stay here,” Lu Xingxing suddenly said.
Mo Tian laughed, “Of course, we’re on the way.”
Mo Tian got up and whispered into his ear, “I’ve always treated you well, give
so face. All the uncles are watching.”
Disdain in his eyes, Mo Chen yet considered the bigger picture and responded, “Hmm.”
Mo Chen took Qiao Ruoxin’s hand and turned to leave.
Lu Xingxing also picked up her purse and followed, with a hint of malice flickering in her eyes.
