?Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Xinxin… Are you pregnant?   Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Xinxin… Are you pregnant?                                   Qiao Ruoxin leaned into the man’s embrace, “Brother Mo Chen, what star sign are you?”


    The man yed with a few strands of her hair that hung down, his voicezy, “It should be Virgo.”


    She looked up at the man’s handsome face, her eyes full of an indescribable sentiment, “No wonder your personality is so peculiar…”


    “What do you mean?” The man narrowed his eyes.


    “Nothing much, just that I think our two little babies will definitely have a better temperament than you.”


    “…”


    The man’s face darkened a shade.


    Mo Chen held her soft body, lowered his head, and kissed her earlobe, “Little Ghost, only you can cure my bad temper.”


    She couldn’t help but smile, “Of course.”


    An hourter.


    The man carried her out of the bathroom, ced her on the bed, and tucked her in.


    “You sleep first, I’ll go to the study to take care of some things.”


    Qiao Ruoxin grabbed his arm, “We’re meeting my mom tomorrow. Can you not lose your temper, please?”


    The man responded indifferently, “Mhm, go to sleep.”


    She smiled, closed her eyes, and obediently fell asleep.


    In fact, what she was most worried about was that Mo Chen wouldn’t be able to hold back his anger when meeting her mother tomorrow, especially since she was now pregnant and Mo Chen’s tolerance had also increased.


    …


    The next day, in the evening.


    Mo Chen drove her to a vi in the imperial capital that belonged to Lawrence.


    The car slowly entered the vi grounds.


    The man got out of the car first to open the door for her, took her hand, and walked toward the front door, pressing the doorbell.


    The maid came to open the door, “Miss, thedy and sir are waiting for you in the dining room.”


    The maid nced again at the man with the imposing aura and greeted, “Young Master Mo.”


    The man, with a cold expression, directly pulled Qiao Ruoxin into the vi, passed through the living room, and headed toward the dining room.


    In the dining room, Lawrence sat at the head of the table, with Qiao’s mother beside him.


    Hearing the footsteps, Qiao’s mother began to get nervous. It had been a long time since she had seen her beloved daughter, and she could only catch glimpses of her through domestic news media.


    After Mo Chen and Qiao Ruoxin entered the dining room, Qiao’s mother’s eyes lit up, “Xinxin, you’re here.”


    Qiao Ruoxin’s expression was cold, and she merely responded, “Mhm.”


    Then, she looked at Lawrence who was seated at the far end. Her perception of him had changed; in the past, she only considered him a stepfather, but now… she unexpectedly had a blood rtion with him.


    “Mr. Lawrence, how do you find it here,ing from afar?”


    Mo Chen wasposed, showing no sign of feeling out of ce, and pulled out a chair for Qiao Ruoxin to sit down.


    Then he unbuttoned his suit jacket and sat at the other end of the long dining table.


    It looked more like a standoff between the two men.


    Qiao Ruoxin and her mother each sat on one side, seemingly without much right to speak.


    Lawrence assessed Mo Chen and smiled, “Young Master Mo is young and promising, but also quite hot-tempered.”


    Mo Chen, however, let out a disdainful scoff and did not reply.


    Qiao Ruoxin finally spoke up, “Say it, what’s the matter with meeting me.”


    Qiao’s mother nced at her, then at Mo Chen, “Let’s have dinner first and then talk. I made many of your favorite dishes, all hand-cooked by mom.”


    She nced at the Chinese dishes on the table, all made from exquisite ingredients, but she felt a wave of nausea.


    She finally couldn’t hold back any longer, covered her mouth with her hand, and heaved twice as her body leaned to one side.


    “What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?” Qiao’s mother asked worriedly.


    Lawrence also squinted his eyes, “Mr. Mo, is this how the Mo Family takes care of people?”


    Mo Chen had no significant reaction, gently patting her back before handing her the ss of water from the table.


    Qiao Ruoxin took the ss and drank a few sips, feeling much better, but she moved her gaze away from the table, feeling nauseous at the sight of the rich food.


    The man’s deep voice slowly rose, “Morning sickness, it’s quite normal.”


    As soon as he said this!


    Qiao’s mother and Lawrence were both stunned.


    Morning sickness???


    Qiao’s mother’s face showed shock, her lips slightly parted, “Xinxin… are you pregnant?”


    Her voice was filled with disbelief.


    Qiao’s mother had never imagined her precious daughter would be pregnant so early and for a moment, she didn’t know how to react, her mind buzzing.


    Lawrence’s brows furrowed in anger, she was actually pregnant!


    Mo Chen noticed their reactions and his lips curved into azy, deep-voiced chuckle, “And it’s twins.”


    !!!


    Another bolt from the blue!


    Qiao’s mother stared dumbfounded at Qiao Ruoxin, her gaze even drifting to her still-t abdomen.


    Lawrence, on the other hand, roared, “How could you let her get pregnant so early?”


    “And you’re saying this in what capacity?” Mo Chen retorted in a cold and aggressive tone.


    Lawrence: “…”


    Qiao’s mother had always feared that Ruoxin wouldn’t be able to ept the truth about her origins, so she had kept it hidden from her, and now she was pregnant?


    What were they supposed to do next?


    The pregnancy had caught them off guard, throwing all their ns into disarray.


    The child is always innocent!


    Ruoxin said, “Let’s get straight to the point. I didn’te here to eat.”


    Lawrence held back his anger, maintaining his elegance and gentlemanly demeanor, “I wonder how Mr. Mo intends to deal with those public opinions online? Is the case of the girl falling from the building years ago really rted to you?”


    Ruoxin couldn’t stand it any longer, “Enough! Wasn’t it all orchestrated by you? What’s with this act now!”


    Mo Chen, however, with a calm expression, took hold of her hand and said in a deep voice, “Little Ghost, don’t get agitated during pregnancy. I will handle this.”


    Only then did she realize she was a pregnant woman, took a deep breath, and nodded her head.


    The man then looked up at the middle-aged man opposite him and said word by word, “I would like to ask what evidence you have that connects me to that case?”


    “The couple has surveince footage of you at 17 years old leaving the hotel room, and that room was the very room from which the girl fell. How do you exin that?” Lawrence said with a dark face, gripping his winess tightly, so hard it might shatter at any moment.


    His daughter was pregnant; how could he not be furious?


    He had arranged her whole life, and now it was all ruined.


    Mo Chen scoffed, “And what can that prove?”


    Qiao’s mother: “At the very least, it proves that on the night of the incident, you indeed went to that hotel, proving you are a suspect! And you left the room from which the girl fell!”


    Qiao’s mother couldn’t contain herself, standing up, “Ruoxin! Do you know what kind of man he is? You dare to get pregnant with his child? When he was just 17, he was bold enough to join those rich second generations in driving a country girl to a mental breakdown and suicide. Do you think he can be a good husband, a good father now?”


    Mo Chen could no longer bear it, mming his hand down on the dining table, which emitted a loud crash, “Enough!”
