?Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Encounter with a Mad Dog   Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Encounter with a Mad Dog                                   In the bedroom.


    Qiao Ruoxin had just been bathed by a maid, changed into her robe, and dried her hair.


    She leaned on the bed, boredly reading a book, and had waited a long time without Mo Chen returning, not knowing what he was discussing with Madam Mo.


    After half an hour, she almost fell asleep, and finally, the bedroom door was pushed open.


    It was Mo Chening back.


    Qiao Ruoxin immediately perked up, sitting up straighter and rubbing her eyes.


    “Mo Chen, what did your mother say?”


    The man walked to the edge of the bed, sat down, and scrutinized her small expression of both anticipation and fear, “Nothing much, she told you to take good care of yourself during the pregnancy and not to run around.”


    “Mhm, I got it. Did she scold you?”


    Actually, she felt that her little trick had been seen through by Madam Mo long ago, as Madam Mo knew her son best.


    Mo Chen: “No, I’m going to take a shower, wait for me.”


    “Mhm.”


    She obediently watched as Mo Chen went to the bathroom.


    Why did she feel that Madam Mo had be gentle all of a sudden? Could it be because she felt that she was going to be a grandmother, so she was not so strict with her anymore?


    A little whileter, the man came out of the bathroom, bringing with him a cool and pleasant scent as he climbed into bed and turned off all the lights in the bedroom.


    Then, out of habit, he wrapped her in his arms and kissed her earlobe, “Little Ghost, good night.”


    “Good night, Mo Chen.”


    In the darkness, she closed her eyes and gradually drifted into sleep.


    She had a very long dream in which she saw her mothermitting suicide on the roof, swallowing sleeping pills, and teetering on the edge of the rooftop.


    Then she dreamt she was having a wedding with Mo Chen, and Simon suddenly appeared, disrupting the entire ceremony, causing chaos at the wedding venue and the sound of gunshots could be heard, making her feel like she was falling apart.


    The dreams were bizarre and chaotic.


    In the dream, she felt exhausted but couldn’t seem to escape theyers uponyers of dreams, feeling oppressed and suffocated.


    Suddenly!


    She woke up with a start in her dream and realised her forehead was covered in cold sweat, her breathing rapid.


    She then noticed she was still in the man’s embrace, touching her own forehead and realizing how sweaty she had be.


    The moment of waking up from a dream was always particrly real, as if everything that happened in the dream had truly urred.


    She turned around and nudged Mo Chen, “Mo Chen, I…”


    She saw the man’s sleeping face, knowing he had also had a tiring day at work; she didn’t want to disturb his sleep.


    Mo Chen, in a half-asleep state, hugged her tighter, his voice muffled, “Mhm…”


    “Never mind, let’s sleep.”


    She turned back around, embraced the man’s body, and then closed her eyes to continue sleeping.


    Her emotions gradually calmed down.


    …


    The next day, early morning.


    When Qiao Ruoxin opened her eyes, it was already noon again.


    She was indeed sleeping more and more these days, but the doctor had always said it was normal, as pregnant women are prone to sleepiness, especially since she was still in the period of morning sickness.


    She stretchedzily and then went to the bathroom to wash up and change clothes.


    Head to the first-floor restaurant for a meal.


    When she reached the restaurant, she got a shock.


    Because Mrs. Mo was actually there waiting for her. Usually, at this time, Mrs. Mo wasn’t at home, so why was she waiting in the restaurant today?


    “Mrs. Mo… I, slept too long, sorry.”


    “No problem, pregnant women tend to be sleepy. When I was carrying Mo Chen, I could sleep for more than ten hours a day,” Mrs. Mo smiled.


    The maid pulled out a chair, and Qiao Ruoxin sat down, then quickly received her pregnant-woman’s breakfast for the day.


    Qiao Ruoxin nced at it and felt no appetite at all, but she still had to eat, otherwise, she would endure another lecture from Mrs. Mo.


    She simply had to eat despite herself.


    Seeing her struggling to have an appetite, Mrs. Moughed, “After you finish eating, I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up. You jumped off Mo Chen’s bodyst night, and the more I think about it, the more worried I get. It’s safer to have a doctor look at you.”


    She could only nod silently, after all, it was for her own good, but she truly didn’t feel any difort.


    …


    After finishing the meal, Mrs. Mo apanied her to the hospital.


    After being examined by the doctor and finding no problems, Mrs. Mo finally relieved her mind and then decided to take her out to rx a bit.


    Standing in front of the hospital elevator and waiting, Qiao Ruoxin was docile and well-behaved, after all, she had to y the role of Mo Chen’s virtuous wife.


    With a ding-dong, the elevator doors slowly opened.


    Inside appeared a person who made Qiao Ruoxin’s expression change instantly, Li Yi!


    Li Yi, leaning on a crutch, walked unsteadily. Seeing Qiao Ruoxin, he ignored Mrs. Mo who stood beside her.


    “Qiao Ruoxin! You dare toe here! Are you here to seek death?”


    Li Yi hobbled out of the elevator, wishing he could strangle Qiao Ruoxin, this Little Ghost, who knocked him so hard that his private parts were nearly crushed,nding him in the hospital for so long without being able to leave.


    Qiao Ruoxin instinctively stepped back, as she was now pregnant and couldn’t take any more risks.


    Mrs. Mo furrowed her brows and sized up Li Yi from head to toe, her voice cold, “And who are you?”


    It was only then that Li Yi took notice of Mrs. Mo’s presence, and he let out augh, “Oh, it’s Mrs. Mo. Fortunate to meet you today. I really want to ask you, Mrs. Mo, how did you take a liking to this dead girl? Mo Chen may be foolish, but you should vet the futuredy of the Mo Family. To let such a Little Ghost enter the Mo Family’s door, you truly have guts.”


    Qiao Ruoxin frowned; this Li Yi was the garbage of garbage, the loser among losers.


    “My son is foolish, and you think you’re smart? With that behavior, who do you presume to lecture here?”


    Mrs. Mo’s tone was full of disdain as she pulled Qiao Ruoxin behind her—after all, she was pregnant and couldn’t risk any danger.


    Li Yi was left speechless.


    “Mrs. Mo, your son’s woman made me like this, and she didn’t even offer half an apology. Is this the Mo Family’s way? I called your son Mo Chen, and he even threatened to cripple me directly.”


    Mrs. Mo, “How is your current state any different from being crippled? Move aside, we want to take the elevator.”


    Mrs. Mo pulled Qiao Ruoxin towards the elevator, while Li Yi started barking madly like a rabid dog, “Do you think your son found some treasure? Qiao Ruoxin doesn’t know how many men have touched her. Your Mo Family is no different, in the end picking up an entertainment circle female star, still a woman everyone has ridden, hahaha…”


    At the brink of losing her temper, Qiao Ruoxin was about tosh out when Mrs. Mo spoke first. She nced at the following bodyguard, “Take good care of young master Li, let him understand how strict our Mo Family’s manner is.”


    “Yes!”


    The two bodyguards that had entered the elevator left it, and Li Yi was dumbfounded, hisughtering to an abrupt end.


    “What are you doing! Are you crazy! Do you know who I am! You dare to beat me! I’ll make sure you have nowhere to be buried!”


    “Aah!!!”


    Qiao Ruoxin watched with wide eyes as the elevator doors slowly closed—she couldn’t see anything, could only hear Li Yi’s screams.


    This is the price of running one’s mouth.
