?Chapter 256: Chapter 256: She Deleted the Original Video   Chapter 256: Chapter 256: She Deleted the Original Video                                   Simon drove Qiao Ruoxin to the branchpany.


    Looking through the car window, Qiao Ruoxin admired the majestic building in front of her, its design undeniably Western in style.


    She followed Simon to the executive office floor.


    Upon entering the man’s office, Qiao Ruoxin immediately noticed a uniquely designed U-disk ced on the work desk.


    Simon calmly walked over, picked up the U-disk, and stowed it away in a drawer.


    All these actions didn’t escape Qiao Ruoxin’s watchful eyes.


    “Would you like something to drink?”


    “Hmm… Orange juice, please.”


    Simon smiled slowly and said, “Alright, I’ll have my secretary get it for you.”


    Sitting on the sofa in the visitor area, Qiao Ruoxin casually flipped through a magazine, her mind continuously preupied with thoughts of the U-disk.


    After taking a call from thendline, Simon said to her, “Xinxin, can you wait for me for a bit? I have an urgent meeting.”


    “That’s fine, go ahead. I don’t have anything to do anyway.”


    “Good, if you need anything, let the secretary know. I should be done in about an hour.”


    Qiao Ruoxin put on a perfunctory smile and said, “Got it.”


    After Simon left with some documents from his desk, Qiao Ruoxin stood up, walked to the door, and locked it from the inside.


    Then she went to the desk and opened the drawer where Simon had ced the U-disk.


    She inserted the U-disk into theputer, quickly essed it, and a folder popped up.


    Her expression serious, Qiao Ruoxin stared at theputer screen and clicked on the folder, only to discover that the U-disk was encrypted!


    Shit!


    And it was a ten-digit password, no less!


    Fortunately, she had learned some tricks from Mo Chen before, but breaking this password would still take at least half an hour.


    Qiao Ruoxin nced at the time. There was still an hour left before Simon’s meeting was due to end, so she should have enough time.


    Thus, she spent half an hour and cracked the password of the U-disk.


    Clicking on the U-disk, there was only one folder, and it was unmarked.


    She randomly opened the folder and her eyes widened in shock—it was that video!


    And it was an extended version! A whole hour!


    Qiao Ruoxin hesitated for a moment before ying the video. After five minutes, she couldn’t watch anymore; it was exactly like that clip and featured a face identical to hers!


    She immediately permanently deleted the video, erasing itpletely, finally feeling relieved.


    Suddenly!


    There was a knock on the office door. She quickly pulled out the U-disk and ced it back in the drawer.


    Then she got up, walked to the door,posed herself, and opened it.


    Standing outside was Simon, looking puzzled. “Why did you lock the door?” he asked.


    “Oh… I suddenly felt sleepy and wanted to take a nap. I locked it because I didn’t want anyone walking in and seeing me like that,” she lied.


    “There’s no need to be so cautious, people generally don’t just walk into my office,” Simon said with a faint smile.


    Qiao Ruoxin walked over to the sofa and picked up her handbag. “I have to go now. Thepany is nicely decorated,” sheplimented.


    Simon didn’t insist on keeping her. “Shall I have the driver take you?”


    “Thank you.”


    As she reached the door, Simon’s voice came from behind her, “In the future, can we coexist peacefully?”


    Without turning back, Qiao Ruoxin opened the door and left.


    After the door closed, the gentleness on Simon’s face disappeared without a trace.


    Everyone said he was a warm and refined gentleman, but in truth, he was the most ruthless of all.


    …


    In the underground parking of Hengzhong Group,


    Qiao Ruoxin leaned against a ck Rolls-Royce Phantom.


    She checked the time; in ten minutes, Mr. Mo would be off work.


    A series of deep footsteps approached, and lifting her head, she saw it was Mo Chen, as expected.


    This damn handsome man was wearing a navy blue suit today, tall and handsome, upright and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, those long legs always so pleasing to the eye no matter the time or ce.


    From a distance, the man caught sight of that slender and delicate figure, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.


    Qiao Ruoxin stood up straight and walked towards him.


    Mo Chen’s expression was still cold and frosty as he stepped out of the underground parking lot elevator.


    But upon seeing this Little Ghost, his stunning features softened with ayer of gentle warmth.


    “Mo Chen, I’vee to pick you up from work.”


    The man walked up to her, touched her head, and said in a deep voice, “Pick me up?”


    “Mm-hmm, I missed you.”


    She hugged the man’s body like a coquettish little kitten, rubbing her small face against the suit on his chest.


    Mo Chen picked her up directly and sat her on the hood of the car, “How about watching the stars tonight?”


    ???


    Heavens above, this damn man has finallye to his senses!


    He knows about star gazing now!


    A bright light burst from Qiao Ruoxin’s sparkling eyes, “You want to watch the stars?”


    The man spoke indifferently, “Isn’t it what you like?”


    “…”


    As expected, one can’t hope for this kind of iron-d straight man to suddenly be enlightened.


    “But you don’t like it, just me watching, wouldn’t that be boring?” Her slender fingers toyed with the man’s tie.


    Mo Chenughed out loud, pinching her cheek, his voice deep and sexy, “Then shall we watch a female ghost?”


    “What kind of hobbies are these, you like to watch female ghosts? Then why don’t you like horror movies?”


    The smile deepened at the man’s lips, he leaned in closer to her ear, deliberately lowering his voice, “Because you keep screaming non-stop, and brother almost gets turned on.”


    Qiao Ruoxin stiffened, her eyes widened in shock.


    Listen to this!


    These are the words of a wolf in sheep’s clothing!


    This damn man really doesn’t n on keeping face anymore.


    She coughed twice, gently patted the man’s handsome face, “Mo Chen, have some shame, will you? You have to cherish such a handsome face, don’t be shameless and vulgar just because you’re good-looking.”


    Mo Chen, however, let out a pleased low chuckle, hisrge hand stroking her head, “Little Ghost, then you need to reflect on yourself.”


    ???


    “What do I need to reflect on?”


    “I am mature and steady in front of others, howe I be shameless and vulgar around you?”


    This unabashed tone!


    Damn it!


    “This is a ssic case of ming the victim! I won’t reflect!” She huffed proudly.


    The man’s lips curved up, his long fingers scratching her chin, as if teasing a little kitty.


    “Mm, it’s probably because you’re too pretty, and that makes me harborscivious thoughts.”


    Qiao Ruoxin finally couldn’t help but reveal a smile, “Atst you admit you harborscivious thoughts!”


    “Mm…”


    “Mo Chen,e clean, since when did you start having those kinds of thoughts about me?”


    Mo Chen looked at the delicate and pretty face before him and said in a deep voice, “At first I just saw you as a little sister, but then, when you were 16 and got into the film academy, I started wanting you.”


    16 years old, huh…


    Well, that’s okay, by that time many of my ssmates were already dating.


    Sheughed softly, her eyes reflecting the man’s handsome features.


    “You find this funny?”


    “No, I think it’s quite amusing.”


    She had always felt that she and Mo Chen were worlds apart, so she never harbored any fantasies about him.


    But now, she was gradually discovering that their connection had started much earlier than she had realized…
