?Chapter 226: Chapter 226: It Seems I Really Got Used to Being Tormented by You   Chapter 226: Chapter 226: It Seems I Really Got Used to Being Tormented by You                                   After he entered the bathroom, Qiao Ruoxin copsed onto the bed drowsily, murmuring softly, “Waiting for you… always waiting for you…”


    Then, she closed her eyes with exhaustion, and fell asleep.


    Five minutester, the bathroom door opened as promised.


    Mo Chen walked out with a ck bathrobe in hand only to find that Little Ghost had already fallen asleep on the bed.


    He couldn’t help butugh at himself, mocking his own seriousness.


    Why be so earnest with a drunken Little Ghost?


    He turned off all the lights in the bedroom.


    He picked up Qiao Ruoxin and ced her on the bed, covering her with a nket.


    Unexpectedly, the woman Hugged his body in her sleep, sleep-talking: “Brother Mo Chen, don’t go…”


    The man looked at her slightly furrowed brows and settled down on the bed by her side.


    Little Ghost immediately crawled onto him, like a clingy little kitten.


    Mo Chen lowered his head to look at her profile and coaxed her softly, “Brother won’t leave, I’ll stay with you, okay?”


    “Mhm…”


    After an unknown period, Qiao Ruoxin spoke again intermittently, “I… will avenge you… I will.”


    The man’srge palm gently stroked her back, his fingertips gliding through her soft hair, his breath filled with the faint scent of her hair.


    “Little Ghost, sleep now, you’re tired.”


    Qiao Ruoxin didn’t respond anymore, shepletely copsed on top of him and fell into a deep sleep, breathing evenly.


    Denseshes left a faint shadow upon her lower eyelid.


    The thought that she was so clingy when drunk weighed on the man’s mind, his eyes darkened; if she drinks again in the future, wouldn’t she cling to anyone?


    Mo Chen held the woman in his arms, a wry smile emerging on his lips.


    So many women, yet why was it only Qiao Ruoxin who had seized his heart?


    He had been pondering over this question for the past two years.


    During the nearly seven hundred days and nights of her absence, he would drink and ponder this question.


    In the end, the answer was that there was no answer.


    Over those two years, he would often lie awake at night and see the image of Little Ghost at 12 years old as soon as he closed his eyes.


    Loneliness had invaded his entire world.


    In the middle of the night, he would talk to the photo of Qiao Ruoxin on his phone’s lock screen: “When will you finally be willing to roll out of my world?”


    Thinking of her like this, how could he love another woman?


    Mo Chen’s grip around the woman in his arms tightened a bit.


    A man’s helpless sigh resonated in the dark bedroom: “Seems like I’ve really gotten used to being tortured by you.”


    Even though Qiao Ruoxin always caused trouble for him, provoking his sudden rage, he still wanted to keep Little Ghost by his side.


    But when his mood red, only this Little Ghost could calm him down.


    Qiao Ruoxin rubbed her little face against his chest, then continued to sleep peacefully, utterly unaware.


    The man chuckled softly and kissed her between the brows.


    …


    A night without dreams, a night thatsted until the light of dawn.


    This time it was rare for Qiao Ruoxin to open her eyes and find that Lord Mo was still by her side.


    A look of disbelief shed in her eyes.


    Immediately, a smile formed at the corners of her mouth as she gazed at the iparably handsome face before her.


    The sleeping Mo Chen really was a feast for the eyes, with his impably handsome features and smooth, sexy jawline.


    Gently, Qiao Ruoxin moved the man’s arm away from around her waist and then covered him with the nket.


    Then, she got out of bed and picked up her phone. The moment she turned it on, she saw the number one trending topic on Weibo: #Lu Xingyu’s Open Pursuit of Qiao Ruoxin# topped the trending charts!


    Herplexion immediately changed.


    She couldn’t help but turn her head to look at the still sleeping Lord Mo.


    That Simon really was annoying to the extreme!


    Qiao Ruoxin opened Weibo and directly posted a message: “No dating! No dating! No dating! Thank you for the affection, bosses~ I love my career, and it makes me happy! Where are my career fans?”


    Instantly, countlessments flooded thement section.


    “Ahhh! Sister Qiao! Look at me! I’m your career fan! Your ancient costume is super beautiful! Star in a historical idol drama, please! You’ll be doing everyone’s eyes a favor!”


    “Career fan here! Frantically raising my hand! Pretty sister, keep your mind clear, no lovey-dovey nonsense!”


    “Hahaha, my ChenXin wishful pairing still has a chance! Is Qiao Ruoxin publicly rejecting Simon? Princess Qiao, you’re so cool!”


    “No love brain for Qiao Ruoxin! Mommy loves you to death! Keep on singing and acting. You’re the best! Saw your performance yesterday and it was so cool and dashing!”


    “Sister Qiao is mine, everyone else can stop thinking about it. Don’t waste your youth, go find someone else to fall in love with!”


    “Little Xinxin, look at me! How about shooting an idol drama with Brother Lu Xingyu! I love both of your looks so much, such a perfect match!”


    “Do you know thatizens have made countless fan-edited videos for you? So, you have a wide range of choices, please don’t marry a foreigner! Such good genes should be left for our own countrymen! Please!”


    “Yeah, if Sister Qiao’s beautiful genes end up with a foreigner, won’t we be at a loss? Sister Qiao is ours! Lord Mo, make your move! Your ex-girlfriend is already this beautiful, how can you not be moved???”


    “Red really nourishes beauty, Qiao Ruoxin is getting prettier by the day, especially in the new album’s styling, absolutely stunning! Skin so white and tender, legs so long and slender, I’m envious…”


    “Ruoxin baby is just perfect!!! Don’t fall in love! With my experience of being a fan of many idols, once they start dating, they immediately turn into obscure nobodies!”


    “Then I can be at ease being a fan of Qiao Ruoxin. With all the idols I’ve fanned, in the end, they either secretly date or sneakily hint to us that they want to be in a rtionship. It’s so annoying! Are we paying to watch them date?”


    “Hereby I want to advise all idols, please look at Qiao Ruoxin and then at yourselves. Don’t you feel ashamed? Taking our money to date! Is that fair to us!”


    …


    Qiao Ruoxin chuckled lightly as she read through thements.


    ncing at the time, Jiang Ruolin should have arrived in China by now.


    Next, it was time to arrange a good show for Jiang Ruolin and Simon!


    …


    Late afternoon in the hospital.


    Simon arrived at Lin Xi’s ward, where she had been quietly recuperating with no one bothering her recently.


    The moment the door to the ward opened, Lin Xi thought it was the nurseing to change her dressings, but she could never have imagined that it was… Simon!


    Lin Xi turned pale immediately, “You… you’vee to China!”


    “To see how you’ve managed to be such a sessful waste.”


    Simon, appearing nonchnt, walked to the bedside, sat down on the chair and said, “You seem to be enjoying yourself here, huh?”


    “I can’t do anything, now injured, and Mo Chen doesn’t care about me, just letting me recuperate here.”


    “Of course, he’s too busy getting cozy with my baby.” The man’s voice dropped deliberately on thest two words.
