?Chapter 334: Chapter 334: You’re not allowed to deceive me…   Chapter 334: Chapter 334: You’re not allowed to deceive me…                                   In the study.


    Xiaowu, carrying a tray, walked into the study. The tray still held that bowl of dark medicinal dish.


    Mo Chen had just finished a video conference with the overseas branch.


    “Master Mo, your medicinal dish.”


    Just hearing the words ‘medicinal dish,’ he felt a physiological revulsion and frowned unhappily.


    Xiaowu ced the tray on the desk.


    The man’s dark eyes were full of distaste. He nced at the disgusting medicinal dish and said in a deep voice, “What’s the use? Why even drink it?”


    Xiaowu turned his head away, holding his breath: “Master Mo, just persist for a week. What if it works? It’s just caused by mental tension, give it a try…”


    “Stop rambling!”


    The man picked up the small bowl of medicinal dish and, fighting the feeling of nausea, drank it all in one go.


    Xiaowu smiled: “Master Mo, have some water.”


    Mo Chen picked up the ss of water next to him and drank half of it, then looked up at Xiaowu: “Is there something you need?”


    Usually, Xiaowu would note here at night. If he did, it was always for something important.


    “Master Mo, I’ve just received news that our overseas business has been interfered with by the Lawrence Family. Several deals have been snatched away.”


    Mo Chen’s long fingers wrapped around the ss, his gaze deep and thoughtful.


    …


    In the bedroom.


    After taking a bath, Qiao Ruoxin changed into a clean bathrobe and sat alone on the sofa of the balcony.


    She leaned on the sofa, gazing up at the night sky, feeling somewhat unsettled.


    Now that Mo Chen told the Mo Family that she was pregnant, what should she do next?


    Go along with the act? This wasn’t a long-term solution, but rifying that she wasn’t pregnant would cause the Mo Family’s impression of her to plummet.


    Suddenly!


    A cunning light shed in Qiao Ruoxin’s lively eyes, and she chuckled softly to herself, whispering, “Then why not make an effort to get pregnant quickly?”


    That was a good move!


    Then another sigh followed. Getting pregnant wasn’t something she could do alone; it required Mo Chen’s cooperation.


    Although she hated to admit it, it seemed like it had been nearly a month since Mo Chenst touched her…


    After their indulgence in the hot springs, their encounters were quite frequent, but now almost a month had passed, and he still seemed to have no intention of touching her.


    When that bastard used to pester her every night, she found it very annoying, but now…


    During this time, she had also taken the initiative many times, but Mo Chen would just kiss, hug, caress, and touch her, never going all the way.


    She even doubted whether that bastard was still capable.


    At that moment, she heard the sound of the bedroom door opening. It must have been Mo Chen returning.


    Then, faintly, she heard the sound of running water, presumably the man taking a shower.


    Qiao Ruoxin stood up and went back into the bedroom. Sure enough, the bathroom light was on, and the sound of water was clearer.


    She picked up the remote control and pressed it; the curtains closed automatically.


    Going back to bed, she purposefully turned off all the lights in the bedroom andy down with her back to the bathroom door.


    After a while, the bathroom door opened.


    Mo Chen, with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist, walked out to find the bedroom pitch dark, which made him frown slightly.


    He walked towards the walk-in closet using the light from the bathroom, dressed in a ck bathrobe, and returned to bed.


    Pretending to be asleep, Qiao Ruoxin closed her eyes, but she could clearly feel the bed dip behind her.


    The man scooped her into his arms and held her soft body from behind, his voice low in her ear: “Little Ghost, deliberately turning off the lights and not waiting for me, huh?”


    “You told me not to wait for you,” her voice carried a hint of resentment.


    Mo Chen was amused by her annoyance and turned her body to face him: “When I came back, you weren’t asleep. You saw me take a shower and deliberately turned off the lights?”


    “So what if I did?”


    “Are you angry with me? Because I said you were pregnant?”


    Qiao Ruoxin wriggled to get out of his embrace, only to receive a stern warning from the man: “Stop squirming! Behave yourself!”


    She huffed: “Don’t hold me, sleep by yourself.”


    “…”


    The Little Ghost had started throwing a tantrum again.


    The man embraced her, hisrge palm cradling her head, and kissed her cheek. “Not angry anymore, hmm?”


    “Do you even know why I’m angry?” her voice was muffled and gloomy.


    “Because I got homete?”


    Qiao Ruoxin: “…”


    He really was a typical clueless guy, never able to guess what she was thinking.


    “Not that?”


    She shook her head. “No, it’s not that.”


    Mo Chen’s deep,zy voice rose in the darkness, “Then what is it for?”


    Qiao Ruoxin suddenly sat up, staring into the man’s eyes. Even through the darkness, she could feel his intense gaze.


    She thought about it but still couldn’t bring herself to say it, so she justy on the man’s chest and petntly said, “Tonight, I want to sleep on top of you! You’re not allowed to say no!”


    The manughed out loud, his strong arms holding her, caressing her back, his voicezy and sensual, “Hmm…”


    Qiao Ruoxiny on the man’s chest, her mind in a whirl.


    With Mo Chen in his current gentlemanly state, how could she possibly get pregnant?


    “Mo Chen, brother…” Her voice was soft and aggrieved.


    “Hmm?”


    “I want you to keep mepany all the time…”


    Mo Chen looked down at the Little Ghost in his arms, who was like an adorable kitten, eliciting an itching in one’s heart.


    His lips curled up. “Alright, I’ll keep youpany.”


    “You can’t lie to me…” she pouted pitifully.


    The man sighed softly, gently stroking her back, andforted her in a low voice, “Okay.”


    “What about the wedding?”


    He was silent for a moment before saying, “The wedding might have to be postponed. I’ve been really busy recently. There was a problem with thepany’s overseas business.”


    Although her heart tightened, she still replied, “Okay…”


    What did a postponed wedding imply?


    Qiao Ruoxin suddenly remembered the conversation she overheard outside the study. Could this damn man really be thinking about breaking up?


    …


    The next day, early morning.


    Since it was her day off, Qiao Ruoxin had slept in.


    By the time she woke up, it was already past ten in the morning.


    She rubbed her eyes and reached for her phone on the nightstand, turned it on, and stared at the wallpaper for a long time, recallingst night.


    Qiao Ruoxin suddenly sat up, opened WeChat, and tapped on a group chat: Groomsmen Group.


    Qiao Ruoxin: [When are we going to put into action the n to chase Mo Chen?]


    Bai Junyan: [The key is we don’t know how to chase him, and we don’t know what the problem between you two is.]


    Lu Siheng: [Yeah, to help you, we need to know the specifics so we cane up with a solution.]


    Ji Haochuan: [Didn’t I just see Mo Ye take you out for ate-night snack a few days ago? Your rtionship seems stable, so why do you need to chase him?]


    Qiao Ruoxin looked at their chat history, hesitated, then quickly tapped on the keyboard, typing a line.


    Qiao Ruoxin: [Mo Chen hasn’t touched me in almost a month! And the wedding is being postponed! That’s what’s going on!]


    The brothers: [………]


    Gu Mocheng: [He must have another woman.]


    Qiao Ruoxin: [Gu Mocheng, shut up!]


    Bai Junyan: [This is serious, we have to chase him! If this keeps getting worse, aren’t you two going to split again?]


    Ji Haochuan: [I’m starting to take this to heart. I’m really going to think of a way!]


    Qiao Ruoxin: [Hurry up! We don’t have much time! And I’m running out of patience!]
