?Chapter 343: Chapter 343: I’m Afraid You’ll Have to Sleep on the Floor for the Next Few Days Chapter 343: Chapter 343: I’m Afraid You’ll Have to Sleep on the Floor for the Next Few Days Qiao Ruoxin was silent for a while before saying, “I want to eat pan-fried buns.”
“Hmm, okay.”
Mo Chen stood up and walked towards the bathroom, washed up, then went to the dressing room to change into a set of clothes, and left the bedroom to go downstairs.
She continued to lie in bed to catch up on sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, there came a knock from the nanny outside the bedroom.
“Miss Qiao, I’ming in.”
“Come in.”
Qiao Ruoxinzily sat up, leaning on the bed, and saw the nanny push the door open and walk in.
“Miss Qiao, Mr. Mo said he would make a trip to thepany, apany you to the hospital for a check-up in the afternoon, and the pan-fried buns are ready. Do you want toe down to eat, or should I bring them up?”
“I’ll go down to eat.”
She threw off the nkets, put on her slippers, and prepared to get up.
Suddenly, the nanny eximed, “Oh my!”
She was startled again, confused, “What’s wrong?”
The nanny stared at the pillow and nket on the carpet and couldn’t help but blurt out, “Did Mr. Mo sleep on the floorst night? How could you let Mr. Mo sleep on the floor, this isn’t right.”
The nanny’s tone made it sound as though she was abusing Mo Chen.
But would this nanny call Mrs. Mo toin?
Mrs. Mo already had a bad impression of her, and if she found out Mo Chen slept on the floor, she would probably explode, right?
“Mo Chen, he… his back wasn’t feeling too great yesterday, he wanted to sleep on the floor himself.”
Nanny: “Is that so, well then, Mr. Mo should also get a check-up this afternoon. Being so young and having back issues, sigh…”
The nanny mumbled to herself as she turned and left the bedroom.
…
Afternoon.
Qiao Ruoxin put on a ck spaghetti strap dress, draped a GUCCI shawl over her shoulders, her gentle curls hiding her small face, also wearing a pair of ck sunsses.
Mo Chen’s car had been waiting outside the vi for a long time.
The man inside the car was getting somewhat impatient.
Suddenly, the car door opened.
Qiao Ruoxin gracefully stepped in with her right leg and sat inside the car.
Mo Chen looked at her attire, sizing her up from top to bottom, and spoke in a deep voice, “Just going to the hospital, is there a need to dress up like this?”
“There’s a premiere for Director Chen’s new movie tonight, and I’ve been invited. After the hospital check-up, I need to head to the premiere.”
Her enticing red lips were hidden by the sunsses, revealing just the lower half of her face, exuding a mysterious sexiness.
The man stared at her profile, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down.
This Little Ghost had returned from abroad and asionally exuded an extra hint of a mature woman’s charm and sexiness.
Mo Chen withdrew his gaze and spoke firmly, “Come straight home after the premiere.”
“Got it!”
An hourter.
Hospital.
After the check-up, the doctor advised her, “There’s nothing serious, but you need to eat light foods recently, avoid strenuous activities, apply the medical ointment I’ve prescribed twice a day, morning and evening, and you should be fine in about a week.”
“Okay, thank you, doctor. I’ll be leaving now.”
Qiao Ruoxin turned to leave, but unexpectedly, the doctor looked at Mo Chen again and repeated his instructions, “Mr. Mo, please remember not to let her engage in any strenuous activities for the next week.”
The atmosphere instantly became very awkward.
A trace of embarrassment crossed the handsome man’s face as he frowned, “Understood.”
Then, he pulled Qiao Ruoxin out of the doctor’s office.
She walked behind the man, looking at his tall figure, and couldn’t help but snicker to herself.
Back in the car.
Qiao Ruoxin looked towards the perfect profile of the man beside her and arrogantly tilted her chin up, “Heard what the doctor said just now? Looks like you’ll be sleeping on the floor these next few days.”
“The doctor said I can’t sleep in the bed?”
“He didn’t, but he did say I shouldn’t engage in strenuous exercise. If you sleep in the bed and in the middle of the night your beastly instincts kick in, who’s going to stop you?”
“…” The man’s face darkened, his handsome features tensed, expressionless.
Half an hourter.
The car slowly pulled up outside the premiere venue.
Qiao Ruoxin pushed the car door to get out.
The man grabbed her slender wrist, saying, “I’ll have someonee to get youter, juste out after the movie is over.”
“Mhm.”
…
Qiao Ruoxin, holding her invitation card, entered the premiere.
Director Chen is a renowned first-tier domestic director; his past honors include a Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival among numerous others.
Therefore, nearly half of the entertainment circle would be present to support his film premiere.
Qiao Ruoxin was no exception, after all, she had a cameo in the movie.
Guided by the usherette, she sat down in a seat on the left side of the first row.
As soon as she sat down, she noticed the name posted on the seat next to her, Lu Xingxing.
Lu Xingxing??? What does this movie have to do with her? And she’s sitting in the first row? Really a princess with all the resources.
After a while, Lu Xingxing indeed came over towards her, led by the usherette, and she was dressed to the nines.
Lu Xingxing, seeing her, wasn’t the slightest bit surprised and elegantly took her seat.
“Qiao Ruoxin, aren’t you dressed a bit too casually for a premiere?” There was disdain in Lu Xingxing’s eyes.
She couldn’t help but chuckle, “Who dresses like you for just watching a movie, looking like a Christmas tree?”
“Who are you calling a Christmas tree? Do you even have any taste? This is a masterpiece by a master!”
Just then, the camera panned over to them.
So, Qiao Ruoxin put on a sweet and lovely smile, her eyes clear as she waved at the camera.
Lu Xingxing also immediately switched to fake smile mode.
The subtle and not-so-subtle rivalry between female stars, all smiles on the surface but wishing they could trample each other to death behind the scenes.
Finally, the camera moved away, and both Lu Xingxing and Qiao Ruoxin instantly returned to normal.
“You y it quite well, living up to your drama school background, smiling so artificially in front of the camera,” Lu Xingxing sneered.
Qiao Ruoxin, looking at the movie trailer on the stage, said offhandedly, “That’s right, who’s like you—no difference between a smile and a cry.”
Lu Xingxing red at her angrily, “You!”
Then, Lu Xingxing noticed the bracelet ‘Mermaid’s Tears’ on her wrist.
“Where did you get that bracelet? Is that the legendary Mermaid’s Tears?”
Lu Xingxing had been searching for that bracelet for a long time and couldn’t believe it was on Qiao Ruoxin’s wrist!
Qiao Ruoxin nced down at her wrist and said with a smile, “Miss Lu has quite the eye for treasures, your brother Mo Chen gave it to me.”
“Why is Mo Chen so blind!”
She chuckled softly, staying silent.
Lu Xingxing couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “You’re not really pregnant, are you? Wearing high heels and heavy makeup—is that how you look pregnant?”
“What’s it to you?”
“You’re deceiving Mo Chen, deceiving everyone in the Mo Family! How can you, a woman, be so scheming? What, you think by getting pregnant you can marry into the Mo Family? You think being pregnant means you can enter the Mo Family?”
Qiao Ruoxin turned to look at Lu Xingxing beside her and said, “Why do you talk so much? This is a film premiere, not a tea party.”
Lu Xingxing snorted coldly.
Then she looked down at the mini recording device in her hand, ready to find the right moment to slip it into Qiao Ruoxin’s bag.
She had to find proof of Qiao Ruoxin’s fake pregnancy!
