?Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Little Ghost, I Can’t Sleep Without You Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Little Ghost, I Can’t Sleep Without You Mo Chen’s lips curved upward, and he let out augh, “Not bad.”
Qiao Ruoxin was not satisfied and looked up at his proud chin, “What do you mean ‘not bad’? Everyone in the Mo Family holds you in high regard, even Uncle Mo and Grandpa Mo dare not go against your wishes or force you to do anything.”
No wonder his temper is so explosive—it’s all spoiled by the Mo Family.
The man fell silent for three seconds, then said in a deep voice, “Only you dare to make me angry.”
“…”
She sat up straight, muttering under her breath, “When have I ever…”
Mo Chen’s strong arms wrapped around her slender waist, he lowered his head and kissed her cheek, then gently nibbled on her earlobe, whispering, “Little Ghost, stay here tonight, Grandfather doesn’t want me to leave.”
“Separate bedrooms.”
“…”
The thought of sleeping in separate bedrooms made the man feel an urge to return to Jiang Mansion No. 1.
“Did you hear me? Separate bedrooms. Your family is here; we must sleep separately. Last time walking out of your room and running into Mrs. Mo already made me want to run into a wall from embarrassment!”
Mo Chen directly lifted her into his arms, cradling her as he looked at her small face, “Will you still pretend to be a female ghost and climb into my bed tonight?”
The corners of her mouth lifted into a smile, and she shook her head, “No.”
The man frowned unhappily, his long fingers stroking back and forth over her waist, “Let’s go back to Jiang Mansion No. 1 then.”
Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t help butugh, “It’s just for one night, is it necessary?”
He hugged her soft and fragrant body tighter, his chin resting on her shoulder, “Little Ghost, I can’t sleep without you.”
Qiao Ruoxin’s heartstrings were gently plucked.
This damn man always says sweet nothings so casually.
“Bear with it, okay? If you go back, they will definitely think I’m the one insisting on youing back. I don’t want to leave them with such a bad impression anymore,” she coaxed the irritable Divine Beast with her good temper.
The man let out a low chuckle, “Aren’t you tired of thinking so much every day?”
“Tired, but I want to win your family’s approval.”
Mo Chen’s dark eyes deepened, his long fingers grasping her jaw, “Are you disappointed I haven’t won your family’s approval?”
She was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head, “My family isn’t as open-minded as yours, so I envy you, thinking you’re very fortunate…”
The man watched her in silence for a long while, his voice deep, “Maybe you don’t realize, but it was only after I got you that I felt a sense of achievement in life.”
Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes widened, unable to find words for a moment.
This damn man is getting better and better at this.
“Mo Chen, seeing as you’re behaving quite well today, I’ll reward you with a kiss.”
She smiled, leaning forward to initiate a kiss on the man’s thin lips.
Just as she was about to pull away, the man’srge hand gripped her head, “Is that the kind of reward you call perfunctory?”
After speaking, he lowered his head and captured her lips, their kiss intertwining earnestly and unwillingly to part, even the air around them became charged with intimacy.
Qiao Ruoxin had intended to resist, but her delicate fingers climbed onto his shoulders, surrendering to his audacious, fervent kiss.
…
The night deepened.
Mo Chen walked her to the guest room to sleep.
As they passed the living room on the first floor, Grandmother Mo saw them and couldn’t help asking, “Are you two nning to sleep together tonight?”
Grandfather Mo scolded, “You rascal! No fooling around before marriage! Our Mo Family does not allow premarital pregnancy!”
A shadow of gloom covered Mo Chen’s handsome face as he said in a low voice, “I’m taking her to the guest room to sleep.”
“That’s okay then,” Grandmother Mo said, looking relieved.
Grandfather Mo added, “That’s more like it. I’m telling you now, no premarital pregnancy, it can damage our Mo Family’s reputation.”
The man responded indifferently, “Mhm.”
Then, he led Qiao Ruoxin into the indoor elevator.
The moment the elevator doors slowly closed, Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t help but chuckle, “Who would have thought Grandpa Mo had such integrity.”
The man scoffed disdainfully, “Him, integrity? He impregnated someone before marriage back in the day.”
“…” Qiao Ruoxin was at a loss for words and asked curiously, “Then why isn’t he allowing you to get someone pregnant before marriage?”
With a ding-dong, the elevator doors opened.
Mo Chen pulled her out of the elevator and said casually, “I don’t know.”
The hallway was long, and the man deliberately walked slowly.
“Big Brother Mo Chen…”
“Hmm?”
“Nothing, good night.”
Originally, she couldn’t help wanting to tell Mo Chen about the one-year agreement with Mrs. Mo, but then she thought better of it.
Mrs. Mo had given her enough face already, and hadn’t made things difficult for her today.
Although she knew Mrs. Mo was probably already disappointed in her internally.
Pushing open the door to her room, she was ready to take a shower and go to bed when the man behind her grabbed her arm, “Little Ghost, how about I climb into your bed tonight.”
“…”
This damn man really is a dog!
Just as she was about to speak, Mo Chen interrupted her bluntly, “It’s settled then, they can’t me you; it’s my initiative.”
With that, the man turned and walked away, his tall figure exuding determination.
Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t help butugh helplessly. He truly was an irritable Divine Beast who couldn’t hold back for even a second.
After returning to her room, she took a bath and then stood on the balcony, prepared to let the natural breeze dry her hair.
ncing at the time, it was nearly eleven o’clock at night. Would Mo Chen reallye?
Why was there a hint of anticipation in her heart?
It felt thrilling.
Qiao Ruoxin looked at the night sky and chuckled softly.
…
After midnight.
Mo Chen, wearing a ck robe, walked out of his bedroom.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw his grandfather and grandmother standing outside his door.
“You little rascal, what are you up to?” Grandpa Mo’s face was dark.
Grandma Mo: “Achen, are you trying to see that youngdy?”
“…” What could he say?
Grandpa Mo stepped forward and patted his shoulder, “You little rascal, don’t be infatuated with women. You have a lot of important things to do.”
The handsome shadow on Mo Chen’s face darkened, and he spoke sternly, “Grandpa, my work hasn’t been neglected.”
“Go back to sleep. Your grandpa means well. You aren’t married yet, so don’t mess around,” Grandma Mo urged kindly.
“…” He replied coldly, “What should happen has already happened.”
Now it was Grandpa Mo and Grandma Mo’s turn to be surprised. They hadn’t expected their obedient grandson to have such a side to him?
Always appearing mature and steady, immersed in scientific research, not drawn to women, they had never imagined this.
Grandpa Mo: “You’ve really opened my eyes, I tell you. If it’s just for fun, don’t take advantage of that youngdy too much; she still needs to marry someone in the future.”
“Apart from marrying me, who else could she marry?” A shadow of discontent surfaced on the handsome man’s face, his voice growing colder.
Having said that, he turned and went back into his bedroom, closing the door behind him.
Grandma Mo looked at Grandpa Mo: “I think this stinky kid has really fallen for her. Two years ago, I could already tell he was particrly fond of that youngdy.”
“That’s good; it’s about time he had a proper romance. These past two years, he’s been like still water,” Grandpa Mo sighed involuntarily when he thought of his well-behaved grandson over the past couple of years.
