?Chapter 339: Chapter 339: I’ll carry you out, no saying no Chapter 339: Chapter 339: I’ll carry you out, no saying no Hospital, high-end ward.
Qiao Ruoxin felt as though she had merely slept for a while, then she opened her eyes to find herself in the hospital ward.
At that moment, the door to the ward was pushed open.
She instinctively turned her head to look, and it was Xiaowu who came in.
“Miss Qiao, you’re awake. Mo Chen is talking with the doctor.”
“Oh…”
She had just woken up and still hadn’t much strength.
Xiaowu looked at her, opened his mouth a few times as though he wanted to say something but stopped himself, and finally turned around to leave.
Qiao Ruoxin called out to Xiaowu, “If you have something to say, just say it. I’m listening.”
Xiaowu slowly turned around, and said in a deep voice, “Miss Qiao, some things I shouldn’t be the one to talk about, but Mo Chen might not be able to exin clearly, so I want to exin on his behalf.”
She slowly sat up, looking at Xiaowu with some confusion, “What are you exining for him?”
“You and Mo Chen suddenly had such a fierce argument, and I think it might be rted to this matter.”
“…” She stayed silent, waiting for Xiaowu to continue.
Xiaowu organized his thoughts and said, “Mo Chen went abroad some time ago and underwent a session of hypnotherapy, which didn’t go well. Since then, there seems to have been a problem with that aspect of his life. He’s had physical check-ups, and all the indicators are normal; it might still be a psychological problem. That’s why these days Mo Chen has been drinking medicinal soups to manage his mental stress…”
Before Xiaowu could finish, Qiao Ruoxin’s face showed a sudden realization.
“No wonder…” She seemed to understand something, then looked at Xiaowu, “Did Mo Chen send you to say this?”
Xiaowu: “No, I just saw the urgency, and Mo Chen is reticent, not good at talking, and might not be able to exin clearly. Plus, men generally really can’t speak out about such things, so I hope Miss Qiao can understand.”
Qiao Ruoxin’s mind swiftly recalled Mo Chen’s behavior during this period.
Every time they were intimate, he would halt any further actions and then just hold her to sleep.
Then she thought about how Mo Chen, who used to suffer from severe germophobia, had recently started drinking medicinal soups, and the taste was horrendously awful.
Xiaowu then said, “Because of this, Mo Chen is fearful of getting married, and even had me invite Dr. Daisy from abroad. He wants to undergo hypnotherapy once more, but his resistance to hypnosis is very strong…”
Xiaowu had just returned to the country when he heard they’d had such a serious fight that they ended up in the hospital, so he rushed over immediately.
She didn’t speak, just listened quietly.
In the meantime, the ward door was pushed open again, and it was Mo Chen.
“Mo Chen, I’ll be leaving first. Call me if there’s anything.”
“Hmm.” The man responded indifferently.
Xiaowu closed the ward door and left.
Mo Chen nced at the “Little Ghost” on the hospital bed, whose pale little face finally had a trace of color.
He poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her, “Drink slowly.”
Qiao Ruoxin took the ss of water and sipped a few times, then ced it aside.
Mo Chen sat on a chair, watching her, and said in a deep voice, “Does it still hurt?”
“It hurts.”
“…”
The atmosphere in the room became tense once again.
Mo Chen was already a man of few words, not adept at conversion. The time when he talked the most was when he lost his temper.
Whenever their atmosphere was harmonious, it relied entirely on her to enliven the mood. Now that her attitude was cold, the atmosphere was beyond saving, as if frozen solid.
Qiao Ruoxin looked at his silent, handsome face.
She also recalled Xiaowu’s words just now.
Why the hell hadn’t this jerk told her earlier? This annoying habit of not exining things needed to change!
She had to take care of this jerk’s bad habits!
Mo Chen watched her for a long time, then slowly began, “Are you hungry?”
“Not hungry. What time is it now?”
“Five in the afternoon.”
Qiao Ruoxin was startled, “I’ve slept that long?”
“You must have been very tired.”
“I want to go home,” she said, then threw off the nket covering her.
Mo Chen stood up and pressed on her slender shoulders, “The doctor said you need to be observed in the hospital overnight.”
She chuckled lightly, “Mo-ge, to be able to torment a woman into the hospital is really domineering. You’re not far from domestic violence.”
“…” The man furrowed his brows slightly, remaining silent.
Qiao Ruoxin observed the man’s expression, his dark eyes harboring intense displeasure.
She then said, “I want some quiet time…”
Then, she saw the man’s suddenly icy face, and the anger in his eyes, and she quickly changed her words, “Unless you take me out of the hospital right now, I’ll take back what I just said.”
Mo Chen’s expression also eased slightly, and he acknowledged with a sound, “Hm.”
Qiao Ruoxin let out a sigh of relief, thankful for her quick thinking.
The man picked up a coat from beside him and draped it over her, saying in a deep voice, “I will carry you out, and you’re not allowed to say no.”
“…”
She had no choice but to wrap her arms around Mo Chen’s neck, letting him carry her out of the upscale ward.
In the hospital corridor, it was so quiet that only the man’s deep footsteps could be heard.
Qiao Ruoxin stared at the man’s perfect side profile and said in a mournful tone, “Mo Chen, your evil deeds this morning alone are enough to leave me with psychological trauma.”
The man nced at her, his tone cold, “Calling me by my name now? Not calling me brother anymore?”
A sneer escaped her lips, “Brother? Don’t you just enjoy it when I curse at you? The more I scold you, the more excited you get, right?”
“…”
He still liked hearing this Little Ghost call him ‘Brother Mo Chen,’ soft and sweet, it was tantalizing.
After a while, Mo Chen said in a heavy voice, “I didn’t do it on purpose this morning, it’s just that the way you cursed made me feel very dominant, so…”
Ha!
She was almostughed by anger, so he tortured her all morning? Even when her throat was hoarse from crying, he didn’t care?
“So you’re saying you have a masochistic temperament? I willingly throw myself at you, and you have no reaction, but as soon as I scold you, hit you, bite you, you get hard?”
“…” A veil of frost covered the man’s handsome face, “Little Ghost, you’re a woman. Speak more modestly.”
Qiao Ruoxin haughtily snorted, “I learned it from you!”
“Why don’t you learn the good things?”
“What good traits do you have for me to learn?”
“…”
Mo Chen chose to keep quiet, this Little Ghost was fuming, talking as if she had gunpowder in her mouth.
…
Inside the car.
Qiao Ruoxin sat in the passenger seat, watching the busy traffic outside the car window.
Suddenly, the man’s phone began to vibrate.
Mo Chen tapped the screen inside the car and answered the call.
It was Bai Junyan on the other end.
“Mo-ge,e to Mansion No. 7 quickly, there’s a surprise!”
Mo Chen nced at her next to him and replied coldly, “I’m busy.”
Then he hung up the phone directly.
“Why not go? Let’s go.”
The man frowned, “You want to go?”
“Mhm, to rx a bit. It’s more fun being with them.”
Mo Chen’s expression darkened, “Not having fun with me?”
“At least not right now.”
Mo Chen’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, and at that moment his phone vibrated again.
He picked up the phone and put it to his ear, his tone vicious, “On the way!”
Then, the atmosphere in the car froze once more.
Qiao Ruoxin looked out the car window, stifling a smile.
Mo Chen must be fuming by now, and she intended to use this opportunity to tackle his emotional issues.
