    “But I’m scared…”


    Mo Chen said coldly without any expression, “You have your partner, go find him.”


    Lu Xingxing made a face of disgust, “I don’t want to find him. That Lu Xingyu doesn’t care about me at all. He just goes looking for the box by himself,pletely ignoring whether I am scared or not.”


    A trace of irritation crossed the man’s brow, and he abruptly withdrew his arm.


    He took Qiao Ruoxin by the hand and walked toward the yard.


    However, Lu Xingxing shouted at his retreating back, “Don’t go in! It’s especially terrifying inside, there’s a phonograph that ys!”


    Yet, Mo Chen didn’t even turn back to nce.


    Lu Xingxing stomped her feet in anger!


    So annoying!


    Even though Mo Chen and she were betrothed since childhood, she hadn’t realized his presence early enough. If she had gotten together with Mo Chen sooner, there wouldn’t have been anything rted to that vixen Qiao Ruoxin!


    Moreover, Lu Xingxing found that she seemed to like Mo Chen more and more.


    Seeing Qiao Ruoxin protected behind the man, she felt an inner jealousy welling up!


    Mo Chen was originally her, Lu Xingxing’s, fiancé! She must take back her man!


    The cameraman lugged his equipment and aimed at Lu Xingxing’s face to shoot.


    Lu Xingxing let loose, her temper as a youngdy ring up: “What are you shooting! Go away! Stop shooting! Can’t you see I’ve been scared to tears?”


    The cameraman felt somewhat helpless and could only carry the equipment behind Lu Xingxing, filming her furiously storming away.


    …


    Qiao Ruoxin and Mo Chen entered the yard and felt it was very eerie, with destion spread all around.


    “Lu Xingxing said the phonograph in there will y, shall we still go in?”


    She indeed felt a bit cowardly. She couldn’t even watch a horror movie on a normal day, and here she was venturing into a century-old mansion of the Republican era. This was seriously life-threatening.


    The man wrapped his arm around her waist, looked down at her, and said, “If you’re scared, just hold on to me tightly.”


    Qiao Ruoxin obediently wrapped her arms tightly around the man’s waist. This darn man must have been working out again recently. Howe his abs feel even firmer?


    She buried her little face in the man’s chest and closed her eyes tightly.


    Mo Chen looked at her frightened expression, the smile at the corner of his mouth growing thicker. The urge to tease her became stronger.


    This Little Ghost had been deliberately distancing from him these past few days, making him sleep on the floor, and only now did she obediently hide in his embrace.


    Pushing open the door, it creaked, giving off a sense of age and destion.


    Qiao Ruoxin sneakily opened her eyes, scanned the room in the light, and it didn’t seem like there was a box to be found.


    “Let’s get out of here. It doesn’t look like there’s a box.”


    Mo Chen, however, spotted the phonograph immediately.


    He walked over with his arm around the woman’s slender waist, put a record on the phonograph, and then the broken, intermittent voice of a woman singing began to y, old and eerie, a distorted sound.


    “This singing is really creepy…”


    “That’s how it was in that era,” he said with an indifferent expression, no big reactions, as if he was just appreciating an antique.


    Qiao Ruoxin looked up at the man’s profile. “Aren’t you afraid of ghosts at all? Have you never believed in them?”


    The man chuckled lowly, his long fingers tapping lightly on her forehead, “I am a man.”


    “Do all men not fear ghosts? The male hosts seemed quite scared just now.”


    Mo Chen looked down at the phonograph in front of him with interest, feeling quite curious about this retro item.


    “Not necessarily.”


    Suddenly!


    A noise came from behind her as something fell to the ground.


    Qiao Ruoxin let out a piercing scream, “Ah! What is that!”


    Then she buried her little face into the man’s chest, clinging tightly to his tall body, her slender frame trembling slightly.


    Mo Chen embraced her, hisrge palm cupping her head, while his other arm encircled her waist, soothing her.


    “It’s nothing, a painting just fell off the wall.”


    Qiao Ruoxin then lifted her head and sneakily nced at the painting that had fallen to the floor, indeed, it was just a painting that had fallen.


    She breathed a sigh of relief, the taut string inside her rxed.


    At that moment, the broadcast from the production team came from outside: “There are only ten minutes left, please hurry up.”


    Qiao Ruoxin started to panic, “Only ten minutes left?”


    Until now, she still hadn’t found the pink Crystal Ball!


    “Quick, quick, quick, let’s find that pink Crystal Ball, or else we might have to walk to the next location tomorrow.”


    She pulled at the man, ready to leave the room.


    Mo Chen, however, pulled her back into his arms, then took out the pink Crystal Ball and held it up before her eyes.


    Her face was anxious, but upon seeing the pink Crystal Ball, she burst intoughter, “When did you find it?”


    “Second floor.”


    Qiao Ruoxin was slightly taken aback, then she became angry, “When I asked you earlier, why did you say you didn’t have it? You did it on purpose!”


    As she spoke, she tried to p his chest.


    Mo Chen quickly grabbed her slender wrist, his deep gaze locked on her, “I wanted to spend more time with you.”


    That profound gaze…


    She withdrew her hand, “Stop that, you’re trying to trick me again.”


    The man pulled her into his embrace, his arm wrapped around her slender waist, stroking her back, his chin resting on the top of her head as he spoke in a deep voice, “Actually, on second thought, I don’t think I’ve been a very good boyfriend.”


    “…”


    Qiao Ruoxin looked puzzled, lifting her head to gaze at his handsome face.


    Mo Chen: “After I won you over, I often neglected you, and I said I’d take you traveling, but through our on-again, off-again rtionship, I never fulfilled that promise.”


    He hadn’te to terms with these issues over the past two years.


    Yet thesest few days, he somewhat understood how Qiao Ruoxin felt two years ago.


    Two years earlier, he was young and impetuous, and having just returned to the country, his father put him to work in theboratory, aiming to hone his skills so that he could achieve something andter enter the corporate hierarchy without controversy.


    At that time, with the help of some bad friends, he chased down this Little Ghost.


    Only for the first month did he date her every day, taking her to various events, but then his work became increasingly busy, spending longer hours in theboratory, as he was rushing for the new productunch.


    When Little Ghost threw tantrums, he did nothing but throw money at her with gifts to keep her appeased, without any other change.


    Thinking back, with his arrogant attitude towards love at the time, a breakup was inevitable.


    But Little Ghost’s disappearance from the Human World delivered him an unprecedented sense of defeat.


    Mo Chen looked at the small face before him and slowly said, “So, I’d like to take this opportunity as a way of traveling with you, hmm?”


    “Would you say this counts as a business trip?”


    The man frowned slightly, “I funded the entire budget for this couple’s special, including the use of a private ne.”


    Her slender fingers climbed onto the man’s shoulders, “So you had nned all along? Everything at thepany is arranged too?”
