?Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Men Should Be Gentler, More Gentlemanly Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Men Should Be Gentler, More Gentlemanly Qiao Ruoxin’s lips curved upward as she nced side ways at the handsome face of the man, “Then how are you going to coax me?”
The man’srge hand cradled the back of her head, then he kissed her lips, answering her directly with action.
Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes widened in surprise, as she pushed him away instinctively, “What are you doing? Weren’t you done with your shenanigans in the bathroom? I don’t want this. I’m very tired.”
“Let’s go back to sleep.”
After speaking, the man scooped her up in a princess carry and stood up to leave, walking towards the vi.
“Could you be a bit gentler with that princess carry?” she wrapped her arms around the man’s neck, though she was already ustomed to being held.
Mo Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked down at her, “Gentle?”
“Yeah, men should be a bit more gentle, a bit more gentlemanly…”
“If I weren’t gentle, your bones would have fallen apart long ago.”
The romantic and beautiful atmosphere was thus destroyed. This damn man was truly adept at ruining the mood!
She held back her anger and closed her eyes, letting out augh.
Don’t get angry, don’t get angry.
She was already used to this damn man’s ways.
Back in the bedroom.
Mo Chen ced her on the bed, tucked her in, and spoke in a stern tone like an elder, “You sleep tight. I’m going to the study.”
“Have you fallen in love with the studytely? You alwayse back from the study in the middle of the night. Go sleep with the study!”
She didn’t know why she was upset, feeling as though Mo Chen was neglecting her.
The man looked at her as she turned her back to him and huffed to sleep, and he couldn’t help butugh out loud, a trace of helplessness on his handsome face.
Then he turned off the light andy on the bed, embracing her from behind.
“I’ll keep youpany in bed, okay?” His voice was sexy andzy, as if bewitching Qiao Ruoxin.
Qiao Ruoxin struggled awkwardly, throwing a small tantrum. In fact, upon hearing that deep male voice, she felt her body tingle all over.
The damn man was really annoying, always breathing in her ear, making her feel ticklish.
No matter how much she struggled, the man behind her still held her firmly and lowered his voice, “Little Ghost, aren’t you tired? Do you want to ‘exercise’ a bit more?”
“…”
As expected, the effect was immediate, and Qiao Ruoxin became motionless, obediently going to sleep.
The man sighed softly and held her soft body, “Sleep now.”
In the darkness, however, came a proud snort from Qiao Ruoxin, and then she gradually slipped into deep sleep.
…
The next day, afternoon.
Luxury brand retail store.
She was attending Director Chen’s birthday party in the evening, so Qiao Ruoxin came to pick out a dress.
As a VIP customer and a popr actress, she used the special privilege given to VIPs to have the shop closed for an hour just to serve her alone.
“Miss Qiao, these are our summer new arrivals. This dressplements your aura quite well. Would you like to try it on?”
She nced around and finally settled on a nude-colored maxi dress, “I’ll try this one.”
“Of course, I’ll get it for you.”
Qiao Ruoxin smiled and waited for the salesperson to bring out the dress.
Because she had a cameo in “Divine Capital Siege,” she also managed towork with Director Chen, and was invited to join the birthday banquet.
At this moment, a sharp and shrill female voice came from outside.
“I thought the store was closing service for someone special, but it turns out it’s for this Mo Chen’s ex-girlfriend, heh…”
At the sound, Qiao Ruoxin frowned and turned to look back, seeing a woman dressed in a red dress, her lips a fiery red, her whole person exuding sensuality and enchantment.
“You are…”
“Oh, such a young age and already so forgetful? Forgot how back in the day you used Mo Chen’s power to humiliate me?”
Then it dawned on her, she remembered.
The woman before her was one of Mo Chen’s unwee admirers, Tao Xue, a woman who mixed in the film industry circles.
After Mo Chen returned to the country, Tao Xue pursued him relentlessly, but Mo Chen neverid his eyes on her.
Latterly, after Mo Chen and Qiao Ruoxin got together, Tao Xue became resentful, crazily hyping up that Mo Chen was a womanizer and a heartbreaker, squandering her years of youth, with the inte overflowing with her PR articles.
In the end, Hengzhong Film Company cklisted Tao Xue in the entertainment industry, and she quieted down, only just now getting back into the game with a movie, which brought a little improvement to her career.
Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t help but give a lightugh, “Isn’t it you who humiliated yourself? How did it be me using Mo Chen’s power?”
“I really don’t know how Mo Chen could fancy a scheming little vixen like you! I pursued him for so many years, and he actually betrayed me!” Tao Xue grew more enraged as she spoke, the memories of the past vivid in her mind.
Immediately afterwards, Tao Xueughed joyfully in schadenfreude, “Now it’s good, Mo Chen has finally seen through your hypocritical true face, and you’re just an ex-girlfriend. What are you being so arrogant about here?”
Qiao Ruoxin slightly raised her eyebrows, hmm? Ex-girlfriend?
Was Tao Xue using a 2Gwork or what? The trending search of her rtionship with Mo Chen had hung for three days; did Tao Xue not see it?
Qiao Ruoxin gave a slight smile, “Miss Tao, have you been abroad recently? Or perhaps in some remote area?”
“You’re investigating me? Even knowing that I went to a remote area to film? What, do you want to cklist me again? Let me tell you! I’m not afraid of you now. You’re no longer Mo Chen’s woman; where do you get the confidence to argue with me here?”
She nodded, no wonder Tao Xue wasn’t aware of her reconciliation with Mo Chen.
A sales assistant approached Qiao Ruoxin with a dress, “Miss Qiao, you can go to the fitting room now.”
Tao Xue mocked with a sneer, “Are you clinging onto that rich young master again? Spending money so extravagantly here?”
“What’s it to you?”
At this moment, the assistant walked in, “Ruoxin, Director Chen’s birthday party is at a resort in the suburbs, we need to hurry, we might not make it in time.”
Qiao Ruoxin nodded, “I’ll leave after I change.”
“You’re also going to attend Director Chen’s birthday party? Qiao Ruoxin, how thick-skinned can you be? Previously, you used Mo Chen’s status to hype yourself up as the nation’s sweetheart, now you want to cling onto Director Chen?”
She nced at Tao Xue, “Howe you find everyone displeasing? Are you misanthropic or what?”
With her arms crossed, Tao Xue lifted her chin proudly, “Let me tell you not to waste your effort. The female lead in Director Chen’s next movie has already been decided – it’s me. By the way, who’s your sugar daddy now? Watching you try to cozy up to Director Chen?”
Qiao Ruoxinughed, all charm and grace, “You’ll find out tonight.”
Having said that, she entered the dressing room.
Tao Xue looked at her proudly retreating figure and scoffed, “The little vixen is off to seduce Director Chen, whose wife is famously ferocious. Let’s see if she doesn’t tear your face to shreds! I’ll just wait and see you warmly throwing yourself at someone who’ll give you the cold shoulder tonight!”
Tao Xue turned to the sales assistant, “Get me that ck dress; hurry up, I have a banquet to attend.”
The assistant was a bit embarrassed, “But we are currently providing a closed-store service for Miss Qiao, as it is her right as a VIP customer.”
“I don’t care! Do you want me toin? Do you believe I’ll make a fuss?”
Just then, Qiao Ruoxin’s voice came from the changing room, “Let Miss Tao choose. I don’t mind.”
Tao Xue looked visibly upset. Tonight, she would definitely have to mention some of the bad things Qiao Ruoxin had done in front of Director Chen!
