?Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Dare to run around again and I’ll tie you to the bed! Chapter 408: Chapter 408: Dare to run around again and I’ll tie you to the bed! Mo Family Estate, midnight.
Lately, Ruoxin often found herself unable to wake up during the day and struggling to fall asleep at night.
Suddenly feeling thirsty, she nced at Mo Chen, who was deep asleep beside her, and quietly slipped his arm off her waist, gently lifted the covers, and got out of bed to leave the bedroom.
Ruoxin closed the bedroom door behind her, wearing her robe as she prepared to go to the kitchen to grab a bottle of ice water from the fridge.
She had never considered herself to be so finicky before, but since bing pregnant, she had be quite fussy, whimsically following her cravings.
As she descended the stairs, her eyes still bleary with sleep, she suddenly heard the sound of someone making a phone call.
She instantly became somewhat more alert and slowed her pace, hiding beside the staircase. She spied the silhouette of a woman making a secretive call.
Who was that?
Ruoxin observed carefully and recognized her as the new nutritionist, Linda, wasn’t it?
Linda was outside the kitchen on the phone, her voice lowered into the handset: “Yes, it must be delivered before dawn, or the Mo Family’s butler will check everything one by one and it won’t be possible to hide it then. I’m waiting here, hurry up!”
Hidden to the side, Ruoxin’s eyes shed with surprise.
This nutritionist is up to no good!
Suddenly, Linda turned around.
Ruoxin quickly shrank back, then saw Linda leave the living room with an eerie expression.
Ruoxin stepped out of her hiding spot, her brow slightly furrowed, deep in thought.
What was that nutritionist up to?
She turned and entered the kitchen, opened the fridge, grabbed a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and took a couple of sips.
Then she took the elevator back to the bedroom.
Her mind was still preupied with the content of the nutritionist’s phone conversation.
Was Linda, who was mainly responsible for her nutritional meals, targeting her specifically?
When Ruoxin returned to the bedroom, she saw that the bedside wall light was on, and Mo Chen was propped up in bed, his handsome face clearly disying his ‘just woken up’ mood.
“Why are you awake?” she asked.
His expression darkened as he looked up at her, “Where did you go in the middle of the night?”
In his sleep, when he reached out to the empty space beside him and found it uninhabited, he had abruptly opened his eyes only to discover that Little Ghost was gone.
His tone was already quite irritable.
Ruoxin smiled and raised the bottle of water in her hand, “I suddenly felt a little thirsty, so I went to the fridge to get a bottle of water to drink.”
She ced the bottle on the nightstand and crawled back into bed. Seeing his icy expression, she felt a bit helpless.
She threw herself into his arms and hugged his body tightly, “Husband, I was wrong. Please, don’t be mad, okay?”
Mo Chen looked down at her small face, her curly, thick eyshes drooping submissively. He eventually softened.
One arm wrapped around the little imp in his embrace, and with his other hand, he lifted her chin and kissed her fiercely as if punishing her.
“Why didn’t you wake me if you wanted water?”
“I didn’t want to disturb your sleep,” she replied.
He scoffed, “Sneaking away disturbs my sleep even more.”
“…”
She pouted, looking aggrieved, and clung to his body, rubbing her cheek against his chest, “Next time I’ll definitely wake you up! Stupid man! And you said you’re trying to improve your temper. It seems to me it’s getting worse.”
Mo Chen remained silent.
Truly, ever since Ruoxin became pregnant, his emotions had be even more vtile, feeling irritable at merely the thought of her being out of his sight for a second.
The man pulled up the covers, wrapping her in the nket, and bit her earlobe lightly, his tone threatening, “Go to sleep! If you dare to run off again, I’ll tie you to the bed!”
Ruoxin couldn’t help butugh out loud.
“What’s so funny?” he asked.
“Brother Mo Chen, you’re bing more and more perverse. Have you been watching too many of those kinds of movies? You actually want to tie me to the bed?”
“…”
“Why are you silent? Have you been watching adult movies with your brothers again recently?”
“No.”
Qiao Ruoxin already felt the man’s embarrassment and continued to tease him, “Really? I don’t believe it.”
The man got angry, “When I say no, it means no! Go to sleep!”
Damn it.
This Little Ghost is really torturous. If it weren’t for the pregnancy, I would have definitely made her cry tonight.
…
The next day, early in the morning.
When Qiao Ruoxin opened her eyes, the man beside her was already gone.
She was used to it; she wouldn’t open her eyes until after ten every day.
She stretchedzily, slowly sat up, and then got out of bed to wash up in the bathroom.
After changing into a simple house dress in the cloakroom, as expected, the maid’s knocking came on time, urging her to go down for breakfast.
After Qiao Ruoxin arrived at the dining room,
she immediately saw the new nutritionist, Linda.
Linda brought over a nutritional meal and was detailing the nutritional content, as well as bringing over the milk she hadn’t finished from the night before.
Qiao Ruoxin looked at the food on her te, recalling the phone conversation she had overheard from Lindast night.
Could this nutritionist Linda be trying to harm the child in her belly?
After all, many members of the Mo Family didn’t want Mo Chen to have an heir so young.
“Suddenly, I’m craving beef noodles and don’t want to eat these Western dishes.”
Linda’s smile froze on her lips. How difficult could this little ancestor be? Beef noodles early in the morning?
Still smiling, Linda said, “Miss Qiao, the Mrs. of the Mo Family asked us to take care of your diet, so I have to be responsible for your nutritional bnce. It’s better to eat these in the morning, we can have beef noodles for lunch.”
“Is that so? Shouldn’t you take good care of a pregnant woman’s mood? I just want to eat beef noodles, what do I do?”
She looked up at Linda, wanting to see what Linda intended to do.
After all, Linda was a nutritionist hired by the Mrs. of the Mo Family, and it wasn’t appropriate for her to just send her away, otherwise, it would create a rift between her and the Mrs. of the Mo Family.
Linda had no choice but topromise, “Alright then, I’ll go and ask the kitchen to make it for you right away.”
“Thank you,” she nodded.
After Linda left, Qiao Ruoxin turned to the maid beside her, “How long is Linda nning to stay?”
“Miss Qiao, Linda is a well-known nutritionist in the country, specializing in creating nutritional meals for young wives in wealthy circles in recent years, ensuring the nutritional bnce for pregnant women.”
“I’m asking how long she’s going to stay?”
The maid answered awkwardly, “She might stay until the child of you and Mr. Mo is born.”
Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t help but widen her eyes, “That long?”
Wouldn’t that give her many opportunities to act?
…
As night fell, in the evening.
Hengzhong Group was nning to acquire some businesses being sold by Lu Group, and everything had been agreed upon, with the official signing today.
Mo Chen represented his father, Mo Tian, in signing the agreement.
At the celebration banquet held by Lu Group in the evening, Mo Chen was also invited, but he only nned to make an appearance before leaving.
“Mo Chen, thank you for the support of the Mo Family. Tonight, your uncle wants to have a few extra drinks with you,” Lu Ming raised his champagne ss and smiled.
Mo Chen clinked sses and then downed the champagne in his ss.
But he said, “Uncle Lu, this is thepensation that the Mo Family ought to make, so after this, Lu Xingxing and I owe each other nothing.”
