?Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Brother Mo Chen, You Are Most Charming When You Scold People Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Brother Mo Chen, You Are Most Charming When You Scold People Simon didn’t speak again but kept his head down and continued to eat.
Suddenly, his cell phone vibrated.
He answered the call, bringing the phone to his ear, “What’s up? Hold on a second.”
After hanging up, Simon looked toward Lawrence and Aunt Lan, “Dad, Aunt Lan, I’m full. I’m heading to the office now.”
The man wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, then slowly stood up and left.
Simon drove to the outside of the Lawrence Family Manor.
He happened to see a red Ferrari parked there, with Jiang Ruolin leaning against it, wearing a pair of ck sunsses, waiting for him.
He slowed down and stopped the car, then opened the door and got out.
Jiang Ruolin straightened up when she saw him, “Simon!”
“Ruolin, did you need something?”
“Simon, I might be getting engaged. It’s arranged by my father,” Jiang Ruolin said with a hint of sadness.
But Simon justughed, “Congrattions, I wish you happiness.”
Wish you happiness?
Those four words really hurt.
Jiang Ruolin’s gaze turned even more somber, filled with reluctance, “I don’t love him!”
“Then choose to refuse him.”
“But I have no reason to refuse!”
Simon said, “Then just ept it.”
Tears welled up in Jiang Ruolin’s eyes, and she looked somewhat aggrieved, “Is it because I kept rejecting you all those years that you won’t ept me now? Don’t tell me you love Qiao Ruoxin, you’ve only known her for so short a time. How profound could your love for her be?”
Simon let out a snort ofughter, “Ruolin, it was normal for you to not like me and reject me those years, and now I don’t like you either, so…”
“Because of Qiao Ruoxin? You wouldn’t care even if you had to watch me marry someone else, right in front of your eyes?”
“Yes, and no.”
Jiang Ruolin looked confused, with tears slowly streaming down her cheeks, “What do you mean?”
“It means, when I wanted you, you were unwilling. But some feelings lose their validity once they’re overdue.”
Jiang Ruolin snorted coldly, “It alles down to Qiao Ruoxin in the end, doesn’t it?”
“Without her, I might have ended up with you, but now that Ruoxin is here, I can’t bring myself to like you anymore.”
“…”
Jiang Ruolin looked stunned. She never thought Simon could love Qiao Ruoxin that deeply, especially when Qiao Ruoxin had never even shown Simon a friendly face. What was there to love?
“Do you just like women who reject you?”
Simon chuckled coldly without a word, turned around, got back into his car, and drove away from there.
Jiang Ruolin was left standing there alone, watching the tail lights of his car as she cried her heart out.
…
The next day.
Recently, Mo Chen had almost been going to work with Little Ghost in tow, because he wanted to watch her every moment, not willing to let her out of his sight.
The man at the desk nced up to see Qiao Ruoxin lying on the sofa in the reception area, holding a fashion magazine in her hands.
He lowered his head and continued his work.
Qiao Ruoxin was lying sideways on the sofa, flipping through the fashion magazine. In reality, she couldn’t focus on a single word.
She was thinking about the engagement ceremony at the end of the month. She wouldn’t have any rtivesing on her behalf; would it be very awkward then?
But whom could she invite?
The Qiao Family had no blood rtion to her, how could they possiblye?
Suddenly, a shadow fell across her vision.
She moved the magazine from in front of her face and saw the tall, handsome figure of the man standing in front of her. She couldn’t help but smile, “Why aren’t you working properly? What are you doing over here?”
The man knelt on one knee, his beautiful features covered in ayer of tenderness, “Just checking what you are doing.”
“I’m reading a magazine.”
“You’re distracted.”
“…” This man’s eyesight was really good; he could tell she was distracted from so far away.
Mo Chen took the magazine from her hands and said in a deep voice, “What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing much, I’m just looking forward to our engagement ceremony. It should be fun.”
Once the engagement ceremony took ce, she guessed it would be time for her to semi-retire from the public eye. Many of her projects would stop, and she would focus on nurturing her pregnancy each day. The thought of it was boring.
The man held her chin, “Come do something with me, okay?”
“What’s the matter?” She frowned.
“It’s very important.”
Mo Chen bent down and scooped her up around the waist.
But Qiao Ruoxin struggled, wanting to walk on her own: “I can walk by myself. You’re making my walking ability degenerate. Wait untilter when there’s a time you have to carry me, and even if you don’t want to, you’ll have to.”
The man’s lips curled into a smile, and then he set her down on the carpet to stand.
“What exactly are we going to do?”
“Only you and I can do it.”
????
Why does that sound so awkward?
What on earth is it?
Having gone so long without touching a woman, hasn’t Mo Chen be even more perverted? Is he concocting some new perverted strategy to bully her?
She let the man pull her to the underground parking lot, where Xiaowu had been waiting to open the car door for them.
She entered the car with a belly full of questions.
Xiaowu drove slowly out of the underground parking garage.
Mo Chen took her small hand and looked at the Sun Star diamond ring on her ring finger – she had long been his.
It wasn’t until the car slowed to a stop outside the civil affairs bureau
that Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes widened. She suddenly turned to look at that damned man: “Brother Mo Chen! Is this the thing that only you and I can do?”
“What else did you think it was?”
“…”
Cough cough, alright, it was her thoughts that had gone astray.
“It’s nothing, I thought it was this too.” She fobbed off a response, then pushed open the car door and got out.
Mo Chen walked to her side, hisrge hand grasping her slender nape, his voicezy: “Little Ghost, why is your face red?”
“Is it? Must be too hot, I guess.”
Looking at the sign for the civil affairs bureau, was she really about to register for marriage? She had never thought she would register at this age, the nervousness was inexplicable, her heartbeat quickened.
The man also noticed her nervousness and tenderly asked, looking down: “You’re going to marry me, right?”
“Yes!”
Nonsense, she was already pregnant with his child, what other choice did she have besides marrying him? And it was twins!
“Then let’s go register.”
“Okay.” She smiled faintly and intertwined her fingers with his.
…
Half an hourter.
Qiao Ruoxin walked out holding two marriage certificates, her face a mask of confusion.
So this makes them a legally married couple?
Just like that?
The man stopped walking and looked at her: “Little Ghost, from today on, I need to change what I call you.”
She was slightly taken aback: “But I’m used to calling you Brother Mo Chen.”
Mo Chen chuckled, tapping her forehead: “Can’t you call me ‘husband’?”
She called out awkwardly and shyly: “Husband…”
Her voice soft and sweet, and somewhat cute.
“Hmm, good girl.” The man chuckled, and it was rare to see him smile so pleasantly.
Qiao Ruoxin looked at the man before her, this was the older brother she had respected since childhood, now her husband, the father of her babies; fate was indeed a strange thing.
She raised her chin in haughty pride: “Then what will you call me?”
The man pulled her into his embrace, his palm cradling the back of her head, his voice low in her ear: “Wife…”
She couldn’t hold back and burst into giggles, theughter genuine from the heart.
Mo Chen’s face darkened instantly, ring at her: “Is it that funny?”
“No, it’s just… kind of strange, ha ha…”
The man was at the end of his rope: “You’re really asking for it!”
Qiao Ruoxin’sughter was even sweeter: “There you go, Brother Mo Chen, you’re most charming when you curse at people.”
“…”
Why did he have to like a woman who was so oblivious to romantic sentiment????
