Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Because I Want to Spend More Ti with You
Qiao Ruoxin also noticed Lu Xingxing’s hand, a bit over the top! They were still recording the show!
“But I’m scared…”
Mo Chen said coldly without any expression, “You have your partner, go find him.”
Lu Xingxing made a face of disgust, “I don’t want to find him. That Lu Xingyu doesn’t care about
at all. He just goes looking for the box by himself, completely ignoring whether I am scared or not.”
A trace of irritation crossed the man’s brow, and he abruptly withdrew his arm.
He took Qiao Ruoxin by the hand and walked toward the yard.
However, Lu Xingxing shouted at his retreating back, “Don’t go in! It’s especially terrifying inside, there’s a phonograph that plays!”
Yet, Mo Chen didn’t even turn back to glance.
Lu Xingxing stomped her feet in anger!
So annoying!
Even though Mo Chen and she were betrothed since childhood, she hadn’t realized his presence early enough. If she had gotten together with Mo Chen sooner, there wouldn’t have been anything related to that vixen Qiao Ruoxin!
Moreover, Lu Xingxing found that she seed to like Mo Chen more and more.
Seeing Qiao Ruoxin protected behind the man, she felt an inner jealousy welling up!
Mo Chen was originally her, Lu Xingxing’s, fiancé! She must take back her man!
The caraman lugged his equipnt and aid at Lu Xingxing’s face to shoot.
Lu Xingxing let loose, her temper as a young lady flaring up: “What are you shooting! Go away! Stop shooting! Can’t you see I’ve been scared to tears?”
The caraman felt sowhat helpless and could only carry the equipnt behind Lu Xingxing, filming her furiously storming away.
…
Qiao Ruoxin and Mo Chen entered the yard and felt it was very eerie, with desolation spread all around.
“Lu Xingxing said the phonograph in there will play, shall we still go in?”
She indeed felt a bit cowardly. She couldn’t even watch a horror movie on a normal day, and here she was venturing into a century-old mansion of the Republican era. This was seriously life-threatening.
The man wrapped his arm around her waist, looked down at her, and said, “If you’re scared, just hold on to
tightly.”
Qiao Ruoxin obediently wrapped her arms tightly around the man’s waist. This darn man must have been working out again recently. How co his abs feel even firr?
She buried her little face in the man’s chest and closed her eyes tightly.
Mo Chen looked at her frightened expression, the smile at the corner of his mouth growing thicker. The urge to tease her beca stronger.
This Little Ghost had been deliberately distancing from him these past few days, making him sleep on the floor, and only now did she obediently hide in his embrace.
Pushing open the door, it creaked, giving off a sense of age and desolation.
Qiao Ruoxin sneakily opened her eyes, scanned the room in the light, and it didn’t seem like there was a box to be found.
“Let’s get out of here. It doesn’t look like there’s a box.”
Mo Chen, however, spotted the phonograph imdiately.
He walked over with his arm around the woman’s slender waist, put a record on the phonograph, and then the broken, intermittent voice of a woman singing began to play, old and eerie, a distorted sound.
“This singing is really creepy…”
“That’s how it was in that era,” he said with an indifferent expression, no big reactions, as if he was just appreciating an antique.
Qiao Ruoxin looked up at the man’s profile. “Aren’t you afraid of ghosts at all? Have you never believed in them?”
The man chuckled lowly, his long fingers tapping lightly on her forehead, “I am a man.”
“Do all n not fear ghosts? The male hosts seed quite scared just now.”
Mo Chen looked down at the phonograph in front of him with interest, feeling quite curious about this retro item.
“Not necessarily.”
Suddenly!
A noise ca from behind her as sothing fell to the ground.
Qiao Ruoxin let out a piercing scream, “Ah! What is that!”
Then she buried her little face into the man’s chest, clinging tightly to his tall body, her slender fra trembling slightly.
Mo Chen embraced her, his large palm cupping her head, while his other arm encircled her waist, soothing her.
“It’s nothing, a painting just fell off the wall.”
Qiao Ruoxin then lifted her head and sneakily glanced at the painting that had fallen to the floor, indeed, it was just a painting that had fallen.
She breathed a sigh of relief, the taut string inside her relaxed.
At that mont, the broadcast from the production team ca from outside: “There are only ten minutes left, please hurry up.”
Qiao Ruoxin started to panic, “Only ten minutes left?”
Until now, she still hadn’t found the pink Crystal Ball!
“Quick, quick, quick, let’s find that pink Crystal Ball, or else we might have to walk to the next location tomorrow.”
She pulled at the man, ready to leave the room.
Mo Chen, however, pulled her back into his arms, then took out the pink Crystal Ball and held it up before her eyes.
Her face was anxious, but upon seeing the pink Crystal Ball, she burst into laughter, “When did you find it?”
“Second floor.”
Qiao Ruoxin was slightly taken aback, then she beca angry, “When I asked you earlier, why did you say you didn’t have it? You did it on purpose!”
As she spoke, she tried to slap his chest.
Mo Chen quickly grabbed her slender wrist, his deep gaze locked on her, “I wanted to spend more ti with you.”
That profound gaze…
She withdrew her hand, “Stop that, you’re trying to trick
again.”
The man pulled her into his embrace, his arm wrapped around her slender waist, stroking her back, his chin resting on the top of her head as he spoke in a deep voice, “Actually, on second thought, I don’t think I’ve been a very good boyfriend.”
“…”
Qiao Ruoxin looked puzzled, lifting her head to gaze at his handso face.
Mo Chen: “After I won you over, I often neglected you, and I said I’d take you traveling, but through our on-again, off-again relationship, I never fulfilled that promise.”
He hadn’t co to terms with these issues over the past two years.
Yet these last few days, he sowhat understood how Qiao Ruoxin felt two years ago.
Two years earlier, he was young and impetuous, and having just returned to the country, his father put him to work in the laboratory, aiming to hone his skills so that he could achieve sothing and later enter the corporate hierarchy without controversy.
At that ti, with the help of so bad friends, he chased down this Little Ghost.
Only for the first month did he date her every day, taking her to various events, but then his work beca increasingly busy, spending longer hours in the laboratory, as he was rushing for the new product launch.
When Little Ghost threw tantrums, he did nothing but throw money at her with gifts to keep her appeased, without any other change.
Thinking back, with his arrogant attitude towards love at the ti, a breakup was inevitable.
But Little Ghost’s disappearance from the Human World delivered him an unprecedented sense of defeat.
Mo Chen looked at the small face before him and slowly said, “So, I’d like to take this opportunity as a way of traveling with you, hmm?”
“Would you say this counts as a business trip?”
The man frowned slightly, “I funded the entire budget for this couple’s special, including the use of a private plane.”
Her slender fingers climbed onto the man’s shoulders, “So you had planned all along? Everything at the company is arranged too?”
