Mo Chuxi’s actions left Yan Xinxin utterly helpless.
She had no choice but to get in the car with him.
He held her hand, and given that they were standing at the gates of Di Jue Group, resisting him outright would undoubtedly give rise to more rumors.
Now, together getting into the car instead made everyone think they were blissfully newlywed and deeply in love.
Those young female employees all blushed, their hearts racing with envy...
The car smoothly drove along the route Mo Chuxi had designated. Yan Xinxin turned to gaze out of the window, her emotions calm and indifferent.
She tried once again to withdraw her hand, but it was futile. Mo Chuxi held her tightly and showed no intention of letting go.
Meanwhile, his other hand manipulated his phone swiftly, seemingly replying to some messages.
After about twenty minutes, the car stopped in front of an impressive high-rise building. For origınal chapters go to novel⟡fire.net
Ah Ding got out quickly to open the car door for Mo Chuxi.
Reluctantly, he loosened his grip on the delicate hand he’d been holding for so long. Stepping out, he turned to the other side of the car and opened the door for Yan Xinxin.
The sunset quietly cast its glow, sprinkling light onto the two of them.
Yan Xinxin stepped out with a calm expression. Just as she stood up straight, Mo Chuxi reached out again, firmly locking his fingers around hers, giving her no chance to wriggle free.
He said this and pulled Yan Xinxin along as they walked toward the hotel.
Watching their paired silhouettes, Ah Ding stood by the car, smiling knowingly.
"There’s no problem a bed can’t solve!"
Yan Xinxin had no idea why Mo Chuxi brought her to a hotel, though this particular hotel was far from unfamiliar to her.
Universal Star International Hotel on No.1 Street.
It was the place that had haunted her nightmares countless times.
He pulled her into the VIP elevator, heading straight to the upper floors.
Yan Xinxin furrowed her brows deeply.
"Mo Chuxi, why did you bring me here?"
"You’ll find out soon enough."
"Please don’t waste my time. I still need to go home and study for the competition."
"I have faith in Mrs. Mo’s abilities. The preliminary round will pose no challenge for you."
Mo Chuxi answered confidently on her behalf.
Yan Xinxin had no response to offer.
When the elevator doors opened, she had no choice but to follow his lead down the hallway.
The long corridor awakened dark memories buried in her mind.
That night five years ago, she had stumbled along this very hallway, groping her way forward and peering into the corners nervously.
It was precisely because she had gotten lost and was searching that, at the intersection...
The sound of a room key unlocking suddenly echoed.
Yan Xinxin snapped back to reality and realized Mo Chuxi had already brought her to a specific room’s entrance.
She stood frozen at the door, staring blankly into the room.
This time, the scene inside was bright and colorful, contrasting sharply with the past.
Mo Chuxi reminded her.
But just as her foot stepped inside, Yan Xinxin abruptly halted, raising her eyes with an accusatory glare.
"Why did you bring me here? Do you think I haven’t suffered enough and want to torment me more? Let go! I want to leave!"
Yan Xinxin demanded, struggling to free her hand as she tried to turn and exit.
Mo Chuxi’s brows knitted together. His resolve hardened, and he suddenly yanked her forcefully.
Caught off guard, Yan Xinxin stumbled into Mo Chuxi’s arms, their scents mingling as they collided.
"Wherever you fell, you must learn to stand back up."
His deep voice flowed past her ears like aged wine.
"Yan Xinxin, five years ago in this very room, I hurt you—I caused you physical pain and left emotional scars and shadows. But today, five years later, you must make yourself stand upright here again, shed those unhappy memories, and begin anew!"
