?Chapter 354: Chapter 354: That’s different, you are my woman   Chapter 354: Chapter 354: That’s different, you are my woman                                   Qiao Ruoxin screamed in shock, “Ah!”


    Then, she quickly hid behind the man, revealing her small face, and scolded angrily, “Why didn’t you say anything earlier! I stood there for so long!”


    “Aren’t you usually very brave when you’re bullying me? Why so cowardly now?” The man’s tone was unmistakably mocking.


    “When have I ever bullied you? It’s always you bullying me.”


    Mo Chen turned around and pinned her against the corner, deliberately avoiding the camera, and looked down at her, “Not admitting it?”


    “That’s right, I can’t beat you, you’re powerful and influential, I’m just a little star, how can I bully you? It’s always you bullying me!”


    The man let out a snicker and lowered his voice by her ear, “Alright, then as you wish, I’ll bully you tonight.”


    Then, he straightened up, instantly reverting to the cold, proper Mo Chen.


    Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t help tensing up, why was there a strange premonition that tonight, in the long night ahead, was destined to be troubled…


    She and Mo Chen had searched the ancient mansion for a long time, but couldn’t find the pink Crystal Ball, and she was nearly scared to a nervous breakdown.


    As she was walking to the garden, the heel of her high-heeled shoe got stuck in a crack between the bricks, and she couldn’t pull it out, how embarrassing.


    “Mo Chen! My heel…”


    The man stopped walking, came back to her side, looked down at her foot with a smile, and said, “Little Ghost, you’re really a genius.”


    “What do you mean by that, are you mocking me?”


    Mo Chen knelt down on one knee, grasped her ankle, and shone his shlight on the ground, then saw that the heel of the high-heeled shoe had embedded itself in the gap between the tiles—it was not easy to pull out.


    He suddenly had an urge to tease this Little Ghost.


    Looking up at her small face, the man announced, “It won’te out.”


    “What should I do then? Think of something.”


    Mo Chen held onto her ankle, and tried to pull for a long time, but it seemed like it truly wouldn’te out.


    He stood up straight and looked down at Qiao Ruoxin’s hopeful little face, “How about taking off your shoes and walking barefoot?”


    “Are you doing this on purpose? There are pebbles everywhere here, do you want my feet to be bruised and bleeding?”


    “Then you can wait here while I go look.”


    “…”


    If this weren’t during the filming of the show, she would definitely bite him!


    This damn man was too irritating, he obviously knew she was afraid of the dark and even more afraid of mansions and haunted houses like this, yet he still entertained the thought of leaving her behind!


    Qiao Ruoxin grabbed the man’s arm in a haste, “I’m scared…”


    The corners of the man’s mouth curved up, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, “Want to walk with me?”


    “Mmm-hmm!”


    “Then call me ‘Brother’?”


    Qiao Ruoxin narrowed her beautiful eyes, “Mo Chen, you’re exploiting the situation, aren’t you! I won’t call you, I won’t and that’s final!”


    “That’s striking while the iron is hot. It’s you who brought the opportunity to my doorstep.”


    “If I don’t call you, will you really leave me here?”


    “You could try it.”


    Suddenly!


    From somewhere came a piercing scream, probably Lu Xingxing’s? It sounded like someone encountering a ghost.


    Qiao Ruoxin went pale.


    The man looked back andmented casually, “Looks like some couples got scared.”


    “Mo Chen, you wouldn’t be so cruel, right? You spoil me the most…” She smiled and clung to his arm, gently swaying, knowing this damn man was a sucker for this tactic.


    Mo Chen let her sway his arm, but his attitude remained firm, a smile ying on his lips, “Call me ‘Brother’?”


    If she were topromise so easily and forgive Mo Chen,


    Then, perhaps, acts of malice like that morning would recur from time to time, and she’d often find herself tortured into the hospital by Mo Chen!


    This bad habit really couldn’t be indulged; otherwise, he would only be more and more perverted.


    Seeing her silent for so long, the man frowned in displeasure, “Is it that hard for you to call me ‘brother’? Then just wait here.”


    Having said that, Mo Chen removed her small hand and turned to leave without looking back.


    Qiao Ruoxin became anxious, “Brother, brother! Mo Chen, brother! Help! Don’t go!”


    A smirk curled up the corners of the man’s lips as he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her, “Now you know to call me ‘brother,’ huh?”


    Mo Chen returned to her side, knelt down on one knee, and took hold of her ankle again, helping her pull the heel of her high-heeled shoe out.


    “It’s you who threatened me! As soon as my high heel is out, I will…”


    The man suddenly stopped what he was doing, “And what will you do? Turn your back on me?”


    She turned her head aside, “I didn’t say that.”


    A hint of helplessness flickered across Mo Chen’s handsome face, and he chuckled, then yanked her high heel forcefully, pulling it out before putting it back on for her.


    As he slowly stood up, he was greeted with a re from the Little Ghost.


    “Why are you ring at me? Wasn’t it you who willingly called me ‘brother’ just now?” the man teased with a roguish smile on his lips.


    “That’s because you forced me!”


    “Hmm, I did force you, but you still called me ‘brother.’ I’m very pleased,” he responded.


    Qiao Ruoxin was so infuriated sheughed, “Pleased my foot, hurry up and find the pink Crystal Ball! I don’t want to stay here another second!”


    Then, she boldly hid behind the man and pushed him to keep moving forward.


    It was already deep into the night, and the ancient house was filled with an eerie chill apanied by gusts of cold wind, as the temperature started to drop.


    Qiao Ruoxin was only wearing a thin cheongsam, with her arms and legs exposed, feeling chilly.


    She couldn’t help but hug her arms.


    The man nced back at her casually, frowning slightly, “Cold?”


    “Yeah, a bit,” she admitted.


    Without another word, Mo Chen took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders, enveloping her cheongsam and making her look even more delicate and pitiable.


    She was taken aback for a moment and then couldn’t help but smile, “Mo Chen, you’ve really grown up. In the past, when you saw a female ssmate with an open zipper, you wouldn’t offer your jacket, but now you know to give it to me.”


    Mo Chen: “That’s different, you’re my woman, she was just a ssmate.”


    Suddenly, warmth filled her heart.


    She smiled softly, feeling inexplicably good, “Thank you, Mo Chen.”


    Having removed his suit jacket, Mo Chen now wore a waistcoat and a ck shirt underneath, his dark and aristocratic temperament bing even more pronounced and imposing.


    Mo Chen walked into the annex of the ancient house with her.


    As soon as they entered the door, a woman’s dark silhouette crashed into them, wailing like a ghost.


    “Wooooh! Help! Ghosts!”


    Mo Chen pulled Qiao Ruoxin behind him, not letting her get hit.


    That voice… It was Lu Xingxing!


    After bumping into them, Lu Xingxing screamed in fright, non-stop.


    Qiao Ruoxin, annoyed by the noise, shouted, “Stop shouting! It’s us!”


    Upon stopping her screams and recognizing Mo Chen, Lu Xingxing cried tears of joy as if she had seen a savior.


    “Mo Chen! It’s you! Thank goodness! I was scared to death!” Lu Xingxing grabbed the man’s arm tightly, refusing to let go.


    The man’s expression turned icy in an instant, his voice cold, “Let go.”
