?Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Brother Mo Chen, Can You Have Some Shame?   Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Brother Mo Chen, Can You Have Some Shame?                                   Mo Chen’srge palm rubbed her forehead, his tone icy and displeased, “Don’t ask about it again!”


    “But you haven’t answered me yet.”


    Hope filled her eyes.


    The man let out a disdainful snort of coldughter, “Do I have to admit I love you so desperately before you can be at ease?”


    “…”


    She murmured softly, “I didn’t say…”


    Mo Chen’s long arm encircled her slender waist, pressing her body tight against his.


    He looked down into Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes, “Do you feel it now?”


    Qiao Ruoxin’s face immediately turned red, how could this damn man suddenly start being a rogue again!


    “Little Ghost, just because it reacts only to you, a single woman, are you reassured now?”


    Ahem…


    The air was filled with an awkward atmosphere.


    “Want to die? Look up!”


    She immediately looked up, gazing at Mo Chen’s handsome face, his features so strikingly beautiful…


    Mo Chen frowned unhappily, his voice low as he scolded her, “Don’t stare at that part of a man! Keep looking and I’ll dig out your eyeballs!”


    This childish threat made her burst into giggles.


    “But I’ve already seen it before…”


    The man released her from his embrace, “There’s a difference between having seen and staring.”


    After saying that, he took Qiao Ruoxin’s hand and headed towards the vi, “Bath and sleep, I’m tired.”


    Qiao Ruoxin looked sideways at the handsome profile of the man, “Mo Chen brother, can you save some face, being a rogue anytime and anywhere!”


    The man simply scooped her up sideways in his arms and strode towards the upstairs, passing through the living room.


    A roguish smile appeared on that beautiful face as he looked down at her in his arms, “What do you know? This is a man’s true nature.”


    Qiao Ruoxin scoffed with disdain.


    “What are you scoffing at? The day I talk to you about everything and yet avoid being a rogue, that’s when I truly don’t love you.”


    Qiao Ruoxin’s small hand covered the man’s mouth, “Don’t say another word! You filthy rogue!”


    Mo Chen’s mouth was covered, but his dark eyes betrayed an indulgent smile as he kissed the palm of her hand,


    …


    Mo Family Estate.


    In the garden, Mrs. Mo sat on a ck rattan chair, having afternoon tea with a few wealthydies.


    “Mrs. Mo, I heard that your Mo family’s master has gone public with his rtionship with that female celebrity? Let me tell you, you have to watch over master Mo closely, actresses are unreliable.”


    Another chimed in, “Not just unreliable, actresses are jinx to wealthy families, everyone in the circle knows that, right? It’s fine to keep one for fun, but giving her status is out of the question.”


    Mrs. Mo smiled without a word, lifting her teacup to take a sip.


    One of thedies patted her hand, “Mrs. Mo, let me tell you, the kids are too young and unaware, you should find a way to get rid of that woman, there are ways to do it without raising suspicion.”


    Mrs. Mo finally spoke, “Who in the capital doesn’t know Mo Chen’s temper?”


    She shrugged with a helpless smile.


    “But you can’t just let master Mo do whatever he wants, he’s just infatuated with the beauty of a star for the moment. When ites to marriage, he should marry someone presentable.”


    Mrs. Mo, “His matters of the heart, I’d better not interfere, he’s already an adult, he should be able to handle his private matters.”


    “You’re at the top of Asia’s wealth list, among the top three in the world, of course, you won’t worry about these things, an actress can’t shake the Mo family’s business empire.”


    “Yes, we must be careful with every step we take, otherwise we might go bankrupt any day.”


    After the wealthydies left, Mrs. Mo sat there in deep thought.


    At that moment, the butler approached.


    “Madam, I heard that Mo Chen is speeding up the wedding preparations. Should we intervene?”


    Madam Mo slowly smiled, “I wanted to intervene, but after giving it a lot of thought, I realized that if I intervened, there would be a rift in the mother-son rtionship between me and Mo Chen. For Qiao Ruoxin, it’s not worth it.”


    The butler asked, “Then… should we let the wedding proceed smoothly?”


    “Ruining Qiao Ruoxin’s reputation is easy, but if Mo Chen still insists on having her and no one else, then I would have to bear the brunt of the gossiping women’s mockery. It’s not worth it, especially since the Mo Family’s reputation would suffer as well.”


    The butler didn’t speak, just looked at her.


    Madam Mo thought for a moment, then finally picked up her cell phone and dialed Mo Chen’s number.


    “Mo Chen,e home for dinner tonight. Mom will cook for you personally.”


    Mo Chen’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “Okay.”


    “Don’t forget the promise you made to me. Take care of your health; you must be the one to hold the reins of the Mo Family.”


    “Hmm, I know.”


    “Bring Miss Qiao along as well.”


    After hanging up the phone, Madam Mo’s expression changed instantly, from gentle toposed.


    She still needed to probe into Qiao Ruoxin. She wanted to know if this girl was truly settled in her heart.


    The butler spoke up again, “There’s another thing I forgot to mention. The Lu Family, who arranged a betrothal with Mo Chen, also seems to be preparing to return to China. They’ve closed many of their factories abroad and are shifting their focus back to China.”


    Madam Mo frowned, “What? The Lu Family ising back to the country?”


    “Yes, Madam. When the Lu Family returns, even if they don’t bring up the betrothal, what shall we do if they do?”


    Madam Moughed softly, “We’ll cross that bridge when wee to it. If the Lu Family brings up the matter of the betrothal, then let Mo Chen handle it personally.”


    …


    Dusk fell, with only a few stars twinkling, the moonlight bright and clear.


    Inside the car.


    Qiao Ruoxin and Mo Chen sat in the back seat as the driver headed towards the Mo Family Estate.


    She was about to have dinner with Madam Mo again, and she started to feel nervous involuntarily.


    After all, it was she who had unterally broken the one-year agreement with Madam Mo.


    The man beside her had been staring at her for a long time, sensing her nervousness. He picked up her hand and yed with it.


    Mo Chen gently pinched her slender fingers, “What are you thinking about?”


    “Nothing much. Just thinking that I need to behave wellter.”


    As if recalling something, she looked up at Mo Chen, “By the way, has everything been okay with Lan Ke these past few days?”


    “Bai Junyan took her to live in the vi. She’s guarded by bodyguards; it’s safe.”


    Qiao Ruoxin exhaled in relief, “That’s good.”


    She wondered if telling Madam Mo that she was actually the daughter of the Lawrence Family would improve her impression of her?


    She lifted her gaze again to Mo Chen’s handsome face.


    If she went public about being the Lawrence Family’s daughter, then her marrying Mo Chen wouldn’t be seen as marrying up…


    At this thought, Qiao Ruoxin shook her head vigorously. What was she thinking!


    She didn’t want to be the daughter of the Lawrence Family!


    Moreover, she hadn’t seen any signs that Lawrence wanted to acknowledge her as his daughter.


    Qiao Ruoxin was lost in thought when the car slowly entered the estate gates.


    The car stopped on thewn, and the butler came forward to open the door.


    Mo Chen and Qiao Ruoxin stepped out of the car.


    “Master Mo, Madam is waiting for you in the dining room. She personally cooked tonight and prepared many dishes you love.”


    The man responded indifferently, “Hmm.”


    Then, holding Qiao Ruoxin’s hand, he walked towards the vi area.
