Chapter 334: Chapter 334: You’re not allowed to deceive …
In the study.
Xiaowu, carrying a tray, walked into the study. The tray still held that bowl of dark dicinal dish.
Mo Chen had just finished a video conference with the overseas branch.
“Master Mo, your dicinal dish.”
Just hearing the words ‘dicinal dish,’ he felt a physiological revulsion and frowned unhappily.
Xiaowu placed the tray on the desk.
The man’s dark eyes were full of distaste. He glanced at the disgusting dicinal dish and said in a deep voice, “What’s the use? Why even drink it?”
Xiaowu turned his head away, holding his breath: “Master Mo, just persist for a week. What if it works? It’s just caused by ntal tension, give it a try…”
“Stop rambling!”
The man picked up the small bowl of dicinal dish and, fighting the feeling of nausea, drank it all in one go.
Xiaowu smiled: “Master Mo, have so water.”
Mo Chen picked up the glass of water next to him and drank half of it, then looked up at Xiaowu: “Is there sothing you need?”
Usually, Xiaowu would not co here at night. If he did, it was always for sothing important.
“Master Mo, I’ve just received news that our overseas business has been interfered with by the Lawrence Family. Several deals have been snatched away.”
Mo Chen’s long fingers wrapped around the glass, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
…
In the bedroom.
After taking a bath, Qiao Ruoxin changed into a clean bathrobe and sat alone on the sofa of the balcony.
She leaned on the sofa, gazing up at the night sky, feeling sowhat unsettled.
Now that Mo Chen told the Mo Family that she was pregnant, what should she do next?
Go along with the act? This wasn’t a long-term solution, but clarifying that she wasn’t pregnant would cause the Mo Family’s impression of her to plumt.
Suddenly!
A cunning light flashed in Qiao Ruoxin’s lively eyes, and she chuckled softly to herself, whispering, “Then why not make an effort to get pregnant quickly?”
That was a good move!
Then another sigh followed. Getting pregnant wasn’t sothing she could do alone; it required Mo Chen’s cooperation.
Although she hated to admit it, it seed like it had been nearly a month since Mo Chen last touched her…
After their indulgence in the hot springs, their encounters were quite frequent, but now almost a month had passed, and he still seed to have no intention of touching her.
When that bastard used to pester her every night, she found it very annoying, but now…
During this ti, she had also taken the initiative many tis, but Mo Chen would just kiss, hug, caress, and touch her, never going all the way.
She even doubted whether that bastard was still capable.
At that mont, she heard the sound of the bedroom door opening. It must have been Mo Chen returning.
Then, faintly, she heard the sound of running water, presumably the man taking a shower.
Qiao Ruoxin stood up and went back into the bedroom. Sure enough, the bathroom light was on, and the sound of water was clearer.
She picked up the remote control and pressed it; the curtains closed automatically.
Going back to bed, she purposefully turned off all the lights in the bedroom and lay down with her back to the bathroom door.
After a while, the bathroom door opened.
Mo Chen, with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist, walked out to find the bedroom pitch dark, which made him frown slightly.
He walked towards the walk-in closet using the light from the bathroom, dressed in a black bathrobe, and returned to bed.
Pretending to be asleep, Qiao Ruoxin closed her eyes, but she could clearly feel the bed dip behind her.
The man scooped her into his arms and held her soft body from behind, his voice low in her ear: “Little Ghost, deliberately turning off the lights and not waiting for , huh?”
“You told
not to wait for you,” her voice carried a hint of resentnt.
Mo Chen was amused by her annoyance and turned her body to face him: “When I ca back, you weren’t asleep. You saw
take a shower and deliberately turned off the lights?”
“So what if I did?”
“Are you angry with ? Because I said you were pregnant?”
Qiao Ruoxin wriggled to get out of his embrace, only to receive a stern warning from the man: “Stop squirming! Behave yourself!”
She huffed: “Don’t hold , sleep by yourself.”
“…”
The Little Ghost had started throwing a tantrum again.
The man embraced her, his large palm cradling her head, and kissed her cheek. “Not angry anymore, hmm?”
“Do you even know why I’m angry?” her voice was muffled and gloomy.
“Because I got ho late?”
Qiao Ruoxin: “…”
He really was a typical clueless guy, never able to guess what she was thinking.
“Not that?”
She shook her head. “No, it’s not that.”
Mo Chen’s deep, lazy voice rose in the darkness, “Then what is it for?”
Qiao Ruoxin suddenly sat up, staring into the man’s eyes. Even through the darkness, she could feel his intense gaze.
She thought about it but still couldn’t bring herself to say it, so she just lay on the man’s chest and petulantly said, “Tonight, I want to sleep on top of you! You’re not allowed to say no!”
The man laughed out loud, his strong arms holding her, caressing her back, his voice lazy and sensual, “Hmm…”
Qiao Ruoxin lay on the man’s chest, her mind in a whirl.
With Mo Chen in his current gentlemanly state, how could she possibly get pregnant?
“Mo Chen, brother…” Her voice was soft and aggrieved.
“Hmm?”
“I want you to keep
company all the ti…”
Mo Chen looked down at the Little Ghost in his arms, who was like an adorable kitten, eliciting an itching in one’s heart.
His lips curled up. “Alright, I’ll keep you company.”
“You can’t lie to …” she pouted pitifully.
The man sighed softly, gently stroking her back, and comforted her in a low voice, “Okay.”
“What about the wedding?”
He was silent for a mont before saying, “The wedding might have to be postponed. I’ve been really busy recently. There was a problem with the company’s overseas business.”
Although her heart tightened, she still replied, “Okay…”
What did a postponed wedding imply?
Qiao Ruoxin suddenly rembered the conversation she overheard outside the study. Could this damn man really be thinking about breaking up?
…
The next day, early morning.
Since it was her day off, Qiao Ruoxin had slept in.
By the ti she woke up, it was already past ten in the morning.
She rubbed her eyes and reached for her phone on the nightstand, turned it on, and stared at the wallpaper for a long ti, recalling last night.
Qiao Ruoxin suddenly sat up, opened WeChat, and tapped on a group chat: Groomsn Group.
Qiao Ruoxin: [When are we going to put into action the plan to chase Mo Chen?]
Bai Junyan: [The key is we don’t know how to chase him, and we don’t know what the problem between you two is.]
Lu Siheng: [Yeah, to help you, we need to know the specifics so we can co up with a solution.]
Ji Haochuan: [Didn’t I just see Mo Ye take you out for a late-night snack a few days ago? Your relationship seems stable, so why do you need to chase him?]
Qiao Ruoxin looked at their chat history, hesitated, then quickly tapped on the keyboard, typing a line.
Qiao Ruoxin: [Mo Chen hasn’t touched
in almost a month! And the wedding is being postponed! That’s what’s going on!]
The brothers: [………]
Gu Mocheng: [He must have another woman.]
Qiao Ruoxin: [Gu Mocheng, shut up!]
Bai Junyan: [This is serious, we have to chase him! If this keeps getting worse, aren’t you two going to split again?]
Ji Haochuan: [I’m starting to take this to heart. I’m really going to think of a way!]
Qiao Ruoxin: [Hurry up! We don’t have much ti! And I’m running out of patience!]
