    He hung up the phone directly.


    Then, he dialed another number, “Delete this video from all the APP websites, I don’t want to see anyone spreading this video anymore!”


    …


    Back in China.


    In the dead of night, the bedroom was pitch ck.


    Qiao Ruoxiny in bed, giving the man beside her a nce, “Brother Mo Chen…”


    “Hmm?”


    “When did you start nning this?”


    The man turned over to hold her in his arms, his long fingers caressing her slender waist, his voice husky andzy, “After I came back from the hospital.”


    Qiao Ruoxin felt a tightness in her heart.


    At that time, he still seemed to be in great difort, was he bearing the pain while deploying these ns?


    Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but hold the man’s body tighter.


    Mo Chen frowned slightly, “What’s wrong?”


    “It’s nothing, I just want to sleep holding you.”


    She heard a low chuckle by her ear as he held her tightly, softly coaxing her, “Little Ghost, good night.”


    Nothing much had changed.


    It was just that Mr. Mo would no longer touch her inappropriately, merely sharing the same bed.


    Qiao Ruoxin closed her eyes, and could not help but think about the replies fromizens on the forum APP today.


    Mo Chen cheated? That’s hardly likely…


    This despicable man, every day he is either busy with work or busy keeping herpany, where would he have the time to cheat?


    Moreover, she had just searched through the man’s phone, and there wasn’t a single suspicious member of the opposite sex.


    Mo Chen’s WeChat avatar was still a picture of her at five years old—so freakish that which woman would dare to strike up a conversation with him?


    Speaking of this avatar, there was actually a story behind it. Caught in the memory, she couldn’t help but smile.


    Initially, the first time Mo Chen had an argument with her and made her cry, she snatched the despicable man’s phone in a fit of anger, changed all his phone wallpapers and lock screens to her pictures, and even changed his WeChat avatar to one of her at the age of five.


    From then on, Mo Chen never changed it.


    So when she first came back, seeing that Mo Chen’s phone wallpaper and lock screen password were still her pictures, her heart couldn’t help but tremble.


    Gu Mocheng had said something very true, she owed her position today to Mr. Mo’s indulgence.


    In the past, she might have been a little proud, but all those bad habits of hers had been spoiled by Mr. Mo, a bottomless indulgence.


    Her thoughts were pulled back.


    She opened her eyes, listening to the man’s steady breathing.


    Qiao Ruoxin’s slender fingers stroked the man’s handsome face, then she slowly leaned in, and gently kissed the man’s chin.


    “Brother Mo Chen, good night.”


    Her voice was soft and tender.


    …


    The next day.


    At Hengzhong Group, Chairman’s office.


    Behind the office desk, Mo Chen was looking down at the acquisition n in his hands.


    Secretary Jiang and Assistant Liu stood there waiting for his orders.


    “Buy all the gamingpanies he’s preparing to acquire in China at double the price,” he ordered.


    The man picked up a pen, signed his name in bold strokes, and handed the acquisition n to Assistant Liu.


    Assistant Liu was shocked inside, Mr. Mo was nning to profit from the chaos!


    The Lawrence Family is currently preupied with the video scandal and has no time to consider the acquisition.


    “Yes, I’ll go to the bank with the project team right away.”


    Mo Chen leaned back in his swivel chair, his tonemanding, “Remember, I don’t care what methods you guys use, acquire all the promising gamingpanies in the country, and then set up a new group. The name will be…”


    The man narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering for a few seconds, “The name will be the Strawberry n.”


    A hint of disdainful smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.


    Secretary Jiang couldn’t help but ask, “Why the Strawberry n?”


    “Because I hate strawberries.” The man appeared nonchnt, picking up his phone to open WeChat.


    While the Lawrence Family isn’t paying attention, take over the entire gaming market in the country that Lawrence is preparing to monopolize.


    At this moment, a secretary knocked and entered, “Director Mo, a Miss Lin Xi wishes to see you.”


    Mo Chen scoffed, putting down his phone, “Let her in.”


    …


    After everyone had left, Lin Xi entered the office.


    This was Lin Xi’s first time in Mo Chen’s office, muchrger than she had imagined.


    Lin Xi’s face was as pale as paper, for she had be a rat crossing the street, everyone shouting to hit her.


    She hadn’t expected that in the end, everyone else had a way out, except for the sacrifice of her dignity and reputation as a woman.


    Lin Xi stood there with legs wobbling, gazing at the man’s tall and stately figure, standing in front of the window, seemingly overlooking the entire imperial city.


    “Mo Chen! Why do you have to do this… haven’t you considered my feelings at all?”


    Lin Xi’s voice carried a crying tone, and was somewhat hoarse.


    Mo Chen turned around, his handsome face tinged with indifference, as if he were unconcerned with the matter.


    He walked over to the sofa in the reception area and sat down, elegantly crossing his legs and resting them on the coffee table.


    “Finally willing to show up? Not hiding anymore?” His deep voice was filled with sarcasm.


    Tears slowly streamed down Lin Xi’s face, “I saved you back then, don’t you have any gratitude for me?”


    The man looked at Lin Xi calmly, with an expressionless face, and said in a deep voice, “But if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been driving while fatigued and had that car ident, nor would I have been trapped in the mountains for two days and a night.”


    “I didn’t want it to be like this! It was Lawrence who forced me! He said if I didn’t do it, he would release those videos! I…”


    Lin Xi waspletely falling apart, not knowing what she should do.


    Mo Chen: “Then you should go find that piece of trash to argue with, note to me.”


    Lin Xi closed her eyes, looking at the unfeeling man in front of her.


    Two years ago, because she was softhearted, when Mo Chen’s life hung by a thread, she chose to call the police.


    In the past two years, Lin Xi’s feelings for this man had been slowly growing, but…


    “Mo Chen, I want to ask you, in these two years without Qiao Ruoxin, have you ever had even a slight crush on me? Even for a second?”


    Lin Xi’s tear-filled eyes were filled with hope.


    The man seated on the sofa, his handsome features cold, snorted with contempt, “Never.”


    At that moment, Lin Xi’s heartpletely gave up; she had, in fact, never been loved.


    The emotional barriers of this man were truly like a wall of copper and steel,pletely imprable, unless he chose to open his heart.


    “Thank you for your mercilessness.”


    Lin Xi wiped away her tears and turned to leave.


    After the door closed behind her, Mo Chen stood up and walked to his desk, picking up the telephone handset, “Give Lin Xi a sum of money, tell her we’re even.”


    “Yes.”


    …


    Lin Xi walked despondently to the elevator, and Secretary Jiang followed out, handing her a check, “Miss Lin, this is what Director Mo asked me to give you, and he also asked me to tell you, we’re even.”


    Lin Xi looked at the check, her smile bitter, “I don’t want it.”


    With a ding, the elevator doors opened, and Lin Xi stepped in.
