Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Are you not content until you break
and Mo Chen apart?
The man’s expression was solemn, and he glanced down at her, his voice grave, “You don’t need to worry about these things, understand?”
She wanted to say sothing more, but seeing the indifference in the man’s eyes, she could only obediently shut her mouth.
After finishing their walk, they returned to the bedroom to prepare for sleep.
Qiao Ruoxin lay on the bed, looking at the closed bathroom door, from which the sound of running water could be heard.
Today, Mo Chen was taking much longer to shower than usual, usually taking only ten minutes to erge, but this ti, half an hour had passed without any sign of the bathroom door opening.
The sound of the water continued, undoubtedly due to irritation and agitation.
Qiao Ruoxin’s brows furrowed slightly, it was Lawrence causing trouble again, and because of her, perhaps she should deal with it herself.
Another half hour passed before the bathroom door finally opened.
The man, wearing a white bathrobe, stepped out, turned off all the lights, then got into bed, lifted the covers, and held her close.
“Little Ghost, go to sleep,” he said.
The mont he embraced her, she couldn’t help but shiver; the man’s body was icy cold. Had he been taking a cold shower for an hour? Was he insane?
Qiao Ruoxin asked, “Have you lost your mind? The weather is turning cold, and you’re taking a cold shower? And for so long?”
The man closed his eyes and replied, “It’s nothing, go to sleep.”
She could feel that Mo Chen was exhausted, so she didn’t say anything else, rely holding his body tightly, trying to warm him.
But the chill had already seeped deep into Mo Chen’s bones.
…
The next day.
When Qiao Ruoxin opened her eyes, the man by her side was already gone.
After washing up, she finished breakfast and then followed her usual routine to join Lady Mo for prenatal classes.
In the afternoon, she told Lady Mo she wanted to go out to et with a friend, and Lady Mo agreed, acknowledging that a pregnant woman couldn’t be kept at ho every day, but she must be accompanied by a bodyguard.
Qiao Ruoxin first went to the hospital, having heard that Lawrence had recently been admitted.
Even though she didn’t know why Lawrence was hospitalized, she felt that he might be in poor health.
Standing outside the door of the VIP ward, she knocked, and a weak, deep voice ca from within: “Co in.”
She pushed the door open and entered, then saw Lawrence lying in the hospital bed, his face pale, entirely different from the dignified Mr. Lawrence of the past.
Lawrence, upon seeing it was her, had his eyes filled with shock, genuinely not expecting her to co here.
“Ruoxin, why have you co?”
Standing in front of Lawrence’s bed, Qiao Ruoxin said coldly, “I ca to see you, and to ask you a question.”
“Ask away.”
“Do you really need to break up
and Mo Chen to be satisfied?”
Lawrence laughed, “You still don’t understand. I’m not trying to break you two up; I want you to be my biological daughter, to inherit the family business, understand?”
The topic made Lawrence emotional; why couldn’t this girl understand this labor of love?
Qiao Ruoxin’s face remained cold as she sat down on a nearby chair, “I don’t want to inherit your business, I have my own life.”
Just as Lawrence was about to retort, she continued, “And do you deserve to call yourself my father? You actually had the heart to kill your own grandchild? Heh… ruthless and cold-blooded. Do you think by driving
to desperation I would go with you?”
“You’re still so young, what child can you have! I’m a man; I understand n! Mo Chen is just irresponsible! You do not deserve to waste so much ti on him!” Lawrence coughed twice after speaking, his emotions disrupted his lungs, causing discomfort.
“You’d better say less, I ca to tell you, no matter what you do, I will not look back.”
She slowly stood up, looking at Lawrence on the hospital bed, “What you’re doing now only makes
feel ashad; I’m ashad to have parents like you. I warn you, if you have any issue, co at
directly, and stop causing trouble for Mo Chen. The Mo Family has great prestige in the country and his future is limitless. Don’t harm him anymore! What has he done wrong? He just likes , that’s all!”
But Lawrence let out a cold laugh, “The very thing he shouldn’t have done is to fall for you. There are so many won in the world; why did he have to like you?”
She realized that Lawrence was already possessed, beyond the point of rational conversation.
She didn’t plan on wasting any more words, so she turned around and left the hospital room directly.
Behind her, Lawrence shouted at her retreating figure, “You want to marry him? Forget about it! I will never agree to it!”
Qiao Ruoxin paused for a mont, didn’t turn back, and slamd the door as she left.
…
After leaving the hospital, Qiao Ruoxin didn’t go straight back to the Mo Family Estate; instead, she had the bodyguard take her to the villa under Lawrence’s na.
It was the place where that couple was currently living.
Perhaps, she should still talk to this couple; after all, the breakthrough in the case was right here.
The car slowly stopped outside the villa, and the bodyguard opened the car door for her.
After Qiao Ruoxin got out of the car, she walked up to the European-style wrought iron gate and pressed the doorbell.
Unexpectedly, the one to answer the door was not a servant, but Simon himself.
Was Simon staying here to protect the couple?
Upon seeing her, Simon didn’t seem surprised and smiled, “You’re here again? Are you that concerned about Mo Chen’s affairs?”
“Of course, he’s my fiancé. If I don’t care about him, who will?” Ruoxin wasn’t in the mood for too much idle chat with Simon.
Simon, “What if I don’t let you in?”
“Then it proves you have sothing to hide, that the key evidence still exists, and the criminal isn’t Mo Chen.”
“Heh… You sure are confident. Why do you trust Mo Chen so much? I feel like Mo Chen hasn’t been that attentive to you lately, huh? You were so unwell yesterday, and he only found out then?”
Qiao Ruoxin frowned slightly. Yesterday?
Could it be that Simon didn’t know she was pregnant?
It was for the best if he didn’t know, to prevent him from causing more trouble.
“Let
in, I need to talk to that couple again,” Qiao Ruoxin said, staring into Simon’s eyes.
Simon laughed softly, said nothing, but still pressed the button, and the gate swung open.
Qiao Ruoxin walked in, and the bodyguard followed closely behind to ensure her safety.
Simon watched the entourage, “With so many bodyguards, are you afraid I’m going to eat you?”
Qiao Ruoxin ignored him and walked straight toward the villa.
…
Ten minutes later.
Qiao Ruoxin sat in the living room on the sofa for a long ti, her cup of tea almost finished, when the couple finally appeared, still very wary.
“It’s you again! We don’t want to see you!”
Having said this, the couple turned to leave.
Qiao Ruoxin called out, “Wait a mont, let’s talk it over nicely, today is different from yesterday. It’s just
alone, I won’t hurt you.”
The couple looked back at her, indeed she was alone and didn’t seem to pose any threat.
