?Chapter 248: Chapter 248: The three-day deadline is approaching, what is your answer?   Chapter 248: Chapter 248: The three-day deadline is approaching, what is your answer?                                   Qiao Ruoxin had walked down this pitch-ck road for a very, very long time, so tired she felt like crying.


    The road seemed endless, no matter how much she walked, it never ended.


    Suddenly!


    Then a blinding high beam shone over, and the sound of a horn red!


    Startled, she quivered slightly and suddenly turned around to see a ck Bugatti sports car slowly stopping in front of her.


    Then she saw the man inside, it was Mo Chen!


    At this moment, Qiao Ruoxin finally understood what it meant to be like rain after a long drought!


    Sheughed from the bottom of her heart.


    The car door swung open, and Mo Chen stepped out, fury emanating off him as he mmed the door and strode toward her.


    “Qiao Ruoxin! Are you fucking trying to get yourself killed?”


    Before the man could finish, that slender and delicate figure ran towards him and threw herself into his arms, hitting him so hard that he inadvertently took a step back.


    Mo Chen, his face still full of anger, now had a hint of surprise in his eyes as he looked down at the Little Ghost in his arms.


    Although his anger had no outlet, he instinctively gripped Qiao Ruoxin’s slender waist tightly.


    “Brother Mo Chen, you finally came! If you hadn’t, I would have to walk all night! My legs are about to break!”


    Qiao Ruoxin’s voice carried a slight whine, her slender arms tightly embracing the man’s waist, her little face rubbing against the fabric of his chest.


    The man pushed her away and roared with fury, “Why the fuck did youe here? Does ying missing excite you? I really want to kill you!”


    She was slightly taken aback, feeling almost deafened by his yelling.


    This vtile Divine Beast’s emotions were out of control again.


    “I didn’t! I encountered a pervert! That taxi driver deliberately brought me here; he tried to rape me!”


    Mo Chen instantly erupted like a volcano, his tone unstoppable with explosion and rage, “Fuck… Where is he?”


    His fists were already cracking with tension.


    “I don’t know; I ran far, but I kicked him in the groin. I guess he won’t be getting up.”


    Mo Chen scrutinized the expression on her little face, his cold voice questioning, “You weren’t intentionally ying missing?”


    She shook her head, “No, I just wanted to go out for a drive, I didn’t expect to get a sleazy thug for a taxi driver.”


    The man’s slender fingers grasped her chin, staring at her for a while, his deep voice pressing, “The three-day deadline is almost up; what is your answer?”


    The smile at the corner of Qiao Ruoxin’s mouth stiffened.


    This damn man remembered this matter the most clearly.


    “I… let’s talk about it at 12 o’clock; there’s still an hour anyway.”


    Ayer of displeasure shadowed over Mo Chen’s handsome features, “Are you brushing me off?”


    “You said three days, exactly three days, not a minute more, not a second less.”


    “…”


    The man’s face darkened, silent.


    So, why exactly did he set a three-day deadline???


    …


    Inside the car.


    Qiao Ruoxin sat inside the bastard’s car, finally feeling at ease, her sense of security skyrocketing.


    No one gave her a greater sense of security than Mo Ye.


    The man driving nced at her indifferently and spoke in a deep voice, “I’ll have someone deal with that driver.”


    “Mm, thank you, Brother Mo Chen.”


    Qiao Ruoxin gazed at the man’s handsome profile, his sexy thin lips, suddenly filled with a longing feeling.


    They had been apart for three days, with no kisses, no hugs, no intimate contact of any sort.


    “Brother Mo Chen, how have these three days been for you?”


    The next second, the man let out a disdainful snort of derision, “Great! Especially great! Did you really think I can’t live without you? Let me tell you! I’ve been fucking thrilled!”


    “…”


    This proud and haughty bastard.


    Qiao Ruoxin didn’t speak again, but leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes to rest.


    The night’s startling events had left her feeling physically and mentally exhausted; she needed to recuperate.


    Mo Chen nced at her, but didn’t speak either, driving in silence back to the Imperial Capital District.


    The car slowly stopped outside the hotel.


    As Qiao Ruoxin was leaning on the passenger seat, she dozed off a bit when the man’s deep voice reached her ear, “We’ve arrived.”


    She opened her eyes, saw the familiar hotel entrance, and realized they’d returned.


    She unfastened her seatbelt, ready to get out.


    Just as Qiao Ruoxin was about to push the car door open, she hesitated for a moment, turned to look at him and said, “Come in with me; it’s almost midnight anyway. Calling is not as good as talking face to face.”


    “Hmm,” the man responded indifferently and stepped out of the car.


    Mo Chen handed the car keys to the hotel valet and then joined her in entering the hotel lobby.


    Until they got into the elevator, neither of them exchanged a single word.


    Qiao Ruoxin stole a nce at the tall and handsome man next to her, and he just happened to catch her gaze.


    “What are you looking at?”


    “Looking at how handsome you are,” she replied offhand.


    Mo Chen snorted with contempt, “Haven’t slept with you for three days; you want it now?”


    “…” She was genuinely speechless, “Can’t you think about anything else?”


    “I do; there’s twenty minutes left until midnight.”


    With that, the man checked the time on his wrist again, still wearing the Patek Philippe watch that Qiao Ruoxin had custom ordered for him at the headquarters.


    Seeing the watch on his wrist, the corners of Qiao Ruoxin’s lips curled up into a beautiful arc.


    She had to admit, that watch really suited Mo Chen.


    With a ding-dong, the elevator doors slowly opened.


    She followed the man towards the number te of her room.


    Huh?


    How did this bastard know which room she was staying in? He seemed to have visited it several times before just by looking at his back.


    “How do you know where I’m staying?” she asked out of curiosity.


    Just then, the cleaningdy from the day before passed by, saw Qiao Ruoxin, and greeted, “Miss, just got back?”


    Qiao Ruoxin smiled, “Yes, just got back.”


    The cleaningdy looked at Mo Chen and blurted out, “Sir, you’re here again, staying next to thisdy’s room? Will you need a brand new, unused bedsheet again?”


    “…”


    The atmosphere suddenly turned exceptionally awkward.


    Qiao Ruoxin was utterly dumbfounded.


    ???


    Staying next door to her room???


    Had she heard it wrong, or had the cleaningdy mistaken someone else?


    A fleeting embarrassment crossed Mo Chen’s impassive handsome face as he simply replied, “No need.”


    “Oh, okay then, goodbye,” the cleaningdy said and left with her cart.


    The man stood in front of her room, his voice deep, “Open the door.”


    Qiao Ruoxin was in shock, taking a long time to regain her senses, “Wait, what did that cleaningdy mean? What do you mean by ‘you’re here again’? Staying in the room next to mine???”


    Mo Chen took her room card, directly swiped it to open the door, and walked in.


    “You talk! What exactly is going on; you’re staying next to me?” she followed behind the man, persistently questioning.


    The man nced at his phone with a cold expression and reminded her in a cold voice, “Ten minutes left.”
