?Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Aren’t You Afraid She Will Betray You Again? Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Aren’t You Afraid She Will Betray You Again? Midnight.
Because of an allergy, Mo Chen didn’t hold Qiao Ruoxin in his sleep tonight; instead, he was far from her.
There was a distance of one person between them.
Qiao Ruoxin was somewhat sleepless and picked up her phone, turning on the dim wall light.
Then she quietly crawled over, pulled open the man’s sleeping robe, and carefully examined those red spots.
She couldn’t help but sigh softly.
Fortunately, it was just a sip; it wasn’t too severe.
Truly a pampered young master, he needed to be carefully taken care of, yet his temper was still so vtile.
The next day, early morning.
Mo Chen was the first to open his eyes, then what caught his gaze was the woman’s peaceful sleeping face.
He watched for a while, then got out of bed to wash up in the bathroom.
After freshening up, he changed into a new set of clothes in the walk-in closet, and finally, casting onest nce at the still sleeping Qiao Ruoxin, he left the bedroom.
…
He drove directly to the hospital.
In the VIP ward, Lin Xiy in bed, herplexion still rather pale from not only the scare but also the injury.
A series of knocks came from the door.
Lin Xi nced at the door: “Come in.”
The door to the ward opened, and Mo Chen’s tall figure walked in.
“Mo Chen, you’re here…”
“Hmm.”
The man sat on the sofa, looking at Lin Xi on the bed, and said sternly, “There won’t be any danger recently, stay put.”
Lin Xi smiled faintly: “Hmm.”
His gaze fell once again on Lin Xi’s earlobe, where the Starfish Earring was, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Lin Xi had been wearing those earrings on the day she was stabbed, and she hadn’t taken them off due to surgery during these past few days.
“Your earrings are quite nice.”
Lin Xi looked confused; why was he suddenly praising her earrings?
She smiled awkwardly: “Really? They were hand-made by a friend of mine who owns a studio, creating original pieces of jewelry.”
Mo Chen kept staring at Lin Xi’s earrings, when suddenly, a scene shed through his mind.
It was the day of his car ident, he saw a woman wearing sunsses driving, she seemed to be wearing these earrings too?
At that time, was he chasing this car?
He stood up and said coldly, “I have other matters, I’ll be going now.”
The moment Mo Chen stood up, Lin Xi noticed the red spots on his neck and thought… they were hickeys.
After all, the location was quite ambiguous.
“Mo Chen! Have you reconciled with Qiao Ruoxin?”
The man cast a cold nce at her with his handsome face: “Do you have a problem with that?”
Lin Xi: “Aren’t you afraid she’ll betray you again?”
Mo Chen let out a dismissive coldugh: “That is my business.”
Then, leaving behind an indifferent silhouette, he left the ward.
Lin Xi leaned back on the hospital bed, feeling a sense of despair; the task Simon had given her, she waspletely unable to fulfill.
…
Mo Chen stood in the deserted hospital corridor, closed his eyes, and began to recall the day of the car ident.
Many fragmented memories were unable to assemble into aplete picture.
What exactly had he forgotten?
It seemed like it was something very important.
He opened his dark eyes, deep and bottomless, hiding many secrets.
He took out his phone and dialed a number: “Bring over the file about my car ident from two years ago.”
After hanging up, his handsome face tensed as he looked towards the end of the corridor.
He vaguely remembered that the car ident wasn’t simply due to driver fatigue.
There were other reasons, and Lin Xi’s role didn’t seem to be as simple as just saving him.
At that time, he was trapped in the woods for two days and a night, his life hanging by a thread, and Lin Xi just happened to appear?
Could it really be such a coincidence?
Lin Xi said she was camping at the time, but that area didn’t seem suitable for camping.
