?Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Marry or Not? Give Me a Straight Answer, Dammit!   Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Marry or Not? Give Me a Straight Answer, Dammit!                                   Qiao Ruoxin’s dense eyshes trembled slightly.


    She lifted her eyes slightly to gaze at the man’s handsome features, which were as if carved from stone, feeling as if there was a fishbone stuck in her throat, unable to speak.


    She lowered her head to look at the diamond ring; she did not expect that this jerk would actually give her the world-famous diamond “Sun Star”.


    The most precious jewelry always had unimaginable curses behind them, and the Sun Star was no exception.


    Legend had it…


    Whoever owned it possessed the whole world, but if you gave it to someone who did not love you, you would suffer endless disasters it would bring.


    Mo Chen was, without a doubt, gambling, betting whether he would lose again this time.


    “Didn’t you think that I don’t love you? How dare you…”


    The man’s lips curled up, and heughed out loud, a trace of destion in hisughter: “If you love me, I’ll believe the legend. If you don’t, why would I believe it?”


    Qiao Ruoxin’s gaze flickered, and her smile was somewhat bitter: “What kind of person are you… doing it this way…”


    “Marry me or not? Give me a straight answer!” the man demanded coldly and irritably.


    This jerk really was… so irritable even in proposing.


    She pouted slightly with grievance: “Who proposes like this? There’s no rose, no getting down on one knee.”


    Hearing this, Mo Chen’s grim expression softened somewhat, and he pulled her wrist to the balcony.


    “What are you doing?”


    “You’re such a country bumpkin, only knowing about roses,” his tone full of disdain.


    The next second, the man held her head and turned her gaze towards the endless night sky.


    Suddenly!


    The fireworks burst into the high night sky, illuminating the entire sky, dazzling and colorful, petals raining down like a shower.


    And they were heart-shaped!


    One after another, as if dering love to her!


    Qiao Ruoxin stood there stunned, lips slightly parted, with a look of amazement at the splendid fireworks in the night sky.


    Gorgeously crying…


    In her beautiful eyes were the interwoven light and shadows of the fireworks bursting in an instant.


    Mo Chen watched her profile, a doting smile appearing on his lips, his voice sexy and lingering: “Little Ghost, happy birthday.”


    !!!


    She turned her head, looking at the man with a dumbfounded expression, and it took her several seconds toe back to her senses: “Today… is my birthday?”


    She had been so busy with her debut recently that she had almost forgotten her own birthday.


    “Hmm…”


    Qiao Ruoxin suddenly felt a sourness in her heart, her voice whimpering slightly: “Do you set off fireworks every year on my birthday?”


    “Hmm…”


    “Mo Chen brother, what are you thinking when you watch the fireworks alone?”


    Mo Chen let out a disdainful snort, looking up at the night sky with a stern voice: “Thinking about how much you hate me to have disappeared from the human world.”


    Her heart skipped a beat, feeling as if her heart was being torn apart.


    Suddenly, the man’s expression darkened, his eyes narrowing as he stared at her: “Marry me?”


    Qiao Ruoxin haughtily lifted her delicate chin and handed the jewelry box to the man: “I want you to put it on me personally.”


    Hearing her words, a trace of softness seemed to appear on Mo Chen’s tightly-drawn handsome face, his lips curving up.


    He took out the Sun Star diamond ring and ced it on Qiao Ruoxin’s fair and slender ring finger.


    “This is more binding than a bracelet. Once it’s on, you’re not allowed to take it off until death,” he murmured, gazing at Qiao Ruoxin’s ring finger, his handsome face radiating a unique tenderness.


    Qiao Ruoxin watched him attentively as he helped her put on the ring, her lips unconsciously forming a sweet smile.


    “Mo Chen, brother, hug me!”


    She mischievously acted like a child, opening her arms wide and embracing the man’s tall figure.


    Mo Chenughed helplessly, raising his arms to hold her delicate frame.


    “Do you like it?”


    “Mhm, I especially like…”


    “Little Ghost, how did I perform tonight?”


    She chuckled lightly, leaning against the man’s chest as she watched the splendid fireworks in the night sky, “Very good.”


    The next second, the scoundrel’snguid and sultry voice sounded above her head, “What about special service? How are you going to make it up to me?”


    Damn dog man, still remembering that!


    She couldn’t help butugh out loud, herughter especially joyful.


    “I just knew you must have been held back by them, that’s why you didn’t rush up here.”


    Unsurprisingly, I could imagine how those guys must have tried their best to hold back this agitated Divine Beast.


    Mo Chen’s slender fingers gripped her chin with some force, “You knew and yet you were so close with them, did you do it on purpose to anger me?”


    “Ow! Let go!”


    The man’s grip lightened slightly, and then he stared at her parting and closing tempting red lips.


    Following the desire of his heart, he bent down and sealed her lips with his.


    Then he picked her up and carried her back to the bedroom, where the two of them directly copsed on the soft, cushy bed.


    After the kiss ended, Qiao Ruoxiny on the man’s chest, “Mo Chen, brother, what would you have done if I hadn’t epted your proposal?”


    The man was silent for a few seconds, then coldly said, “Just get you pregnant.”


    “…”


    Frick!


    He’s such a beast! Always so straightforward and forceful!


    Qiao Ruoxin suddenly sat up, her hands propped on either side of the man’s body, “Can you not be such a beast?”


    The man indulgently chuckled low, “I can’t.”


    The fireworks outside finally stopped, and the quiet of the night made the atmosphere in the bedroom even more peaceful.


    Her slender fingers began to undo his tie.


    In that moment, Mo Chen’s body tensed for a second and he suddenly opened his eyes, seizing her lips in a forceful kiss.


    Feeling the ‘Sun Star’ on her ring finger, the corner of his lips curled up.


    She didn’t need to take much initiative, just this little bit was enough for Mo Chen not to give her a hard time anymore.


    …


    A night of folly.


    But Qiao Ruoxin didn’t notice the two messages that hade on her phone.


    The first one was from her father, who had an affair and walked out on them:[Xinxin, happy birthday.]


    The second one came from a strange number in the United States, [Your mother has been admitted to the intensive care unit.]


    The next day, early morning.


    Qiao Ruoxin was the first to open her eyes, feeling parched and her throat hoarse.


    She lifted the nket and saw the man’s strong arm draped around her waist. She gently removed his arm.


    Then she quietly got out of bed and tucked the nket around the dog man.


    Embarrassed, she grabbed her phone and quickly turned around to escape to the bathroom.
