?Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Mo Chen Will Never Let Her Down Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Mo Chen Will Never Let Her Down Mo Family Estate, in the parlor.
As soon as Mo Tian entered the living room, he flew into a rage, “What kind of people are those editors, causing amotion at my son’s engagement party? Shut down those media outlets for me! I’m fed up!”
“If you shut down those media outlets now, won’t everyone online say that our Mo Family is overbearing and covers the sky with one hand?” Madame Mo sat on the sofa, arms crossed, speaking coldly.
“I’m filled with anger; who let those dogs into the well-conducted engagement party!”
Madame Mo: “Alright, alright, I’ve already sent someone to investigate.”
After sending Qiao Ruoxin back to her bedroom, Mo Chen took the elevator down to the parlor on the first floor.
“Dad, Mom, have you figured out the background of that couple yet?”
He sat down in front of the sofa, still in the suit he wore at the engagement party, with his jacket unbuttoned, exuding a graceful yet chilling presence.
Mo Tian, huffing with anger, sat on the sofa, “Not yet, this is definitely someone trying to target me.”
At this moment, the butler came over, holding a tabletputer, “Chairman, Madam, Young Master Mo, those editors we just drove out and that couple have started a live broadcast online, with viewers reaching ten million.”
Mo Chen frowned, “What are they broadcasting?”
Butler: “They’re saying that you are the murderer who killed their daughter, the very teenage girl who fell from the hotel ten years ago, whose murderer has never been found.”
The man erupted like a volcano, irate, “What the hell does this have to do with me?”
Butler: “During the live broadcast, the couple said that years ago, a kind-hearted person sent them surveince footage, showing records of youing out of that girl’s hotel room …”
Mo Tian, impatiently extending his hand, said, “Give it here! I want to see it!”
Mo Chen fell into deep thought.
He had only heard about that case of the teenage girl falling from the hotel ten years ago, not even knowing the exact day it happened, and now he was suddenly the murderer?
It was nothing short of ludicrous.
Someone must be orchestrating this behind the scenes.
Suddenly, Mo Chen stood up and left the parlor.
Madame Mo and Mo Tian were watching the rey of the couple’s live broadcast.
Mo Tian swore as he watched, “Damn it! Erase all copies of this live broadcast rey from the inte, and furthermore! Sue these three mediapanies! They must be tired of living to pull this!”
…
In the bedroom.
Qiao Ruoxin stepped out onto the balcony alone and dialed her mother’s number on her phone, soon getting through.
Her mother’s voice came from inside, “Xinxin, you haven’t called me in a long time.”
“Jiang Pen, do you just hate to see me well? Were that couple at my engagement banquet today hired by you?”
“Xinxin, you actually don’t inquire whether the matter is true, instead directly questioning me? Do you trust Mo Chen that much?”
Qiao Ruoxin scoffed, “Nonsense! He’s my husband, of course, I trust him!”
“Xinxin, what if what the couple said is true?”
“I don’t care whether it’s true or not, I just want to tell you that no matter what you do, I won’t leave Mo Chen.”
“You’re that devoted to him now? If the case from ten years ago really was his doing, wouldn’t you have wrongly devoted your heart?”
Qiao Ruoxin intended to hang up the phone, not wanting to waste words with Jiang Pen, as no one could sway the other’s thoughts.
“Xinxin! Your Uncle Lawrence and I havee to China, can you have a meal with us tomorrow?”
Her heart skipped a beat—Uncle Lawrence…
Was he her biological father?
“Sure, but I’ll go with Mo Chen.”
“We only want to see you.”
“Then forget it.”
She was about to hang up again, but then Lawrence’s voice came through the phone, “Alright, bring Young Master Mo along.”
The call ended.
Qiao Ruoxin prepared to return to her bedroom to take a shower and go to sleep.
Just as she turned around, she saw Mo Chen standing there, his hands in his trouser pockets, apparently he had been there for quite some time.
“You… Have you been standing there for a long time? Did you hear what I was talking about on the phone?”
“Mhm.”
The man walked up to her and pulled her into his embrace, gently holding her body as he said in a deep voice, “I’ll apany you tomorrow.”
“Mo Chen Brother…”
“Hmm?”
“Tonight’s… Will it affect the Mo Family’s reputation?”
Mo Chen’s mouth curled up slightly, “It won’t have any effect, everything will be cleaned up within half an hour.”
She sighed in relief, “That’s good then.”
The man gently picked her up and walked towards the bedroom, “Taking you for a shower, then it’s bedtime.”
“I’m not that sleepy…”
“They are sleepy,” Mo Chen said, looking down at her belly.
Qiao Ruoxin chuckled lightly, “Why do I feel like you don’t love me anymore, only these two little babies, and I’m out of favor now?”
Her slender fingers gripped his chin, teasing him on purpose.
The man let out a snort ofughter, “Little Ghost, are youpeting with them for affection?”
“What if I am? I’m asking you, if you had to choose between me and the two little babies, whom would you choose?”
Although this was just a joking question, she still wanted Mo Chen to choose her unconditionally.
Of course, Mo Chen would never let her down.
“I choose you.”
Sheughed out loud, “So you don’t want your two little babies anymore?”
Mo Chen brought her into the bathroom and set her down on her feet, his long finger tapping her forehead, “Qiao Ruoxin, you need to understand, I am not particrly fond of children, just the ones you give birth to, nothing more.”
“…”
Indeed, that was true.
She had never seen Mo Chen interact with small children, he even seemed reluctant to get close, finding it troublesome and nothing but crying and fussing.
The man started to help her take off her clothes, unbuttoning each button, while she kept staring at his face.
“What are you looking at me for?” he asked casually.
Qiao Ruoxin said with a smile, “I’m thinking, such a handsome and dashing Mo Chen is about to be a married man, and he’s also going to be the father of two little babies, probably countless young girls are going to cry.”
The man burst outughing and threw her clothes into the hamper nearby.
Then he reached out to test the water temperature in the bathtub, which was just right.
He had filled the bathtub with water when he came back, and then went to the terrace to find her, where he overheard her phone conversation.
Qiao Ruoxiny in the bathtub, looking at the man’s shirt that had gotten wet, and said, “Mo Chen Brother,e take a shower with me, your clothes are already wet anyway.”
The man raised an eyebrow slightly, “Doesn’t it feel awkward?”
“We’re already legal anyway.”
Mo Chen’s mouth curled into a smile, directly answering with actions by taking off his shirt and then undoing his belt.
This series of movements was so charged with hormones, it made her blush involuntarily.
The man got into the tub, water noticeably spilling over as he settled next to Qiao Ruoxin, cradling her soft body and restlessly moving his hand toward her belly, wanting to feel the presence of those two little lives.
Qiao Ruoxin sighed, “You’ll have to wait another two months to feel the fetal movements, you can’t feel anything now.”
The man frowned slightly, “Is that so? That long?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
