Chapter 43: Chapter 41: Stay Away from Me Chapter 43: Chapter 41: Stay Away from Me Mo Yunchen looked at Jing Zhiyue’s pained expression and instead, a bewitching smile spread across his face, “Actually, it might be for the best that it’s broken, otherwise these hands are too much of an eyesore.”
“No, no, Master Mo, I won’t dare to do it again, please give me one more chance.”
Jing Zhiyue, masking the deep-seated fear in her heart, begged. She couldn’t understand why, after so many years by his side, he was still so merciless towards her, without a single trace of warmth.
Mo Yunchen lifted Jing Zhiyue’s chin with his left hand, his enchantingly handsome face slowly closing in on hers. Those delicate phoenix eyes seemed to be brimming with deep affection, which made Jing Zhiyue forget to beg for mercy. Instead, she was transfixed by the increasingly close Mo Yunchen, her heart pounding as she stared at him. Did he see the good in her? Was he about to kiss her?!
At that thought, Jing Zhiyue revealed what she believed to be her most beautiful smile, ready to welcome Mo Yunchen.
But the pain on her chin from being pushed away came next, followed by Mo Yunchen’s mocking voice, “You think I was going to kiss you?! Filthy.”
After speaking, Mo Yunchen’s tall and straight figure walked past Jing Zhiyue, grabbed the bathrobe nearby to put on, then pulled a wet wipe from the sofa and carefully wiped his hands, completely ignoring the tears streaming down Jing Zhiyue’s face as she nearly couldn’t support her own body.
Jing Zhiyue cried in pain, her tears, which should have gained the pity of countless people, were wasted in front of the merciless Mo Yunchen.
Jing Zhiyue had grown accustomed to Mo Yunchen’s cruelty and indifference towards her. Her love for him was bone-deep; even when he insulted her, she was unwilling to leave.
Turning around to see Mo Yunchen by the sofa, wiping his fingers with a wet wipe, Jing Zhiyue’s face could no longer hold back and turned deathly pale.
Did he despise her so much? He even felt dirty touching her.
Mo Yunchen, do you even have a heart?! How can you be so brutally cruel to me!
Taking a deep breath, Jing Zhiyue stopped her tears and put on a stiff smile, “Master Mo, you must be hungry, would you like some late-night snacks?”
Mo Yunchen threw away the wet wipe in his hand, turned around, and looked at Jing Zhiyue, who was smiling at him. His eyebrows rose involuntarily. The normally god-like handsome face took on a bewitching and unrestrained look, making Jing Zhiyue’s heartbeat quicken once again. She had always been unable to resist his charm and knew that many women in the world would not be able to resist such an intoxicating man. His second persona was even more fascinating than his first, and she was drawn to him like a moth to a flame, even though he was brutally arrogant.
“Stay away from me.” His low and sexy voice uttered disillusioning words, and Jing Zhiyue stood there, stiff as a board.
Mo Yunchen certainly didn’t care for Jing Zhiyue before him. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that he was heartless by nature, with no one worthy of his sympathy in his heart. But now, it seemed that there was someone who had piqued his curiosity.
He was aware of the first persona, and the first persona knew of his existence too. They both knew what each other did, and although they would take control of this body at different times, there was no sense of abruptness.
That woman, she had aroused his interest.
With just one glance, he was convinced about that woman, simply because in his dreams, she seemed to always appear.
Looking down at his right hand, which had once seized hers, he wondered how she had managed to leave while he was unconscious.
Ha, could she really escape? Of course not! And it seemed she could even heal him. He had never felt such relaxation in his body. Ever since he first appeared at the age of ten, he had felt discomfort in his body, although the poison did not hinder his everyday life, it caused him frequent unbearable pain. And now, for so long, he hadn’t felt any pain, which was indeed a wonder.
That strange woman seemed to have even better medical skills than Jing Zhiyue.
Faintly, her voice reached his ears.
“I can’t save you now, but if fate allows, perhaps you won’t die.”
“We will meet! No one who has ever engaged with him has managed to walk away unscathed.”
“President Mo, you’re awake,” Mo Tang appeared at the door and hurriedly walked towards Mo Yunchen, upon seeing the two standing opposite each other, “President Mo, Miss Jing is here in Ning City by chance.”
Mo Yunchen lifted his gaze to Mo Tang, as the corners of his lips raised in a charming smile that made Mo Tang stunned for a moment. He then lowered his head respectfully and called out, “Master Mo.”
Master Mo had actually appeared!
Mo Yunchen elegantly stepped towards Mo Tang and suddenly patted him on the shoulder, making Mo Tang shiver. Mo Yunchen raised a smile, “Mo Tang, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? You seem to have gained weight recently?!”
Mo Tang swallowed and lifted his head, forcing a smile, “Yes… it’s Master Mo, it’s been some time since we last met, and recently… I have been eating well and got a bit fat.”
Where had he gained weight?! But if Master Mo said he gained weight, then he simply had to have gained weight.
“Master Mo, while you were unconscious, someone took your Buddha Beads. It’s Mo Tang’s negligence, I will definitely go to the Mo Clan to accept punishment,” Mo Tang hurriedly said. The matter was very serious, and he must find the person who stole the Buddha Beads quickly, or his fate would be severe.
The Mo Clan referred to by Mo Tang was actually the second personality Mo Yunchen’s own secret organization. No one in Beihai City knew that the biggest gang in the country was founded by Mo Yunchen. The Mo Clan had clear rewards and punishments, and one must take the initiative to accept punishment for misdeeds to reduce the severity of their sins.
All members of the Mo Clan had the surname ‘Mo,’ which was a play on the word ‘Charm,’ a name granted by Mo Yunchen. As for Mo Tang and another named Mo Sheng, they were Mo Yunchen’s confidants. The rest were named sequentially starting with Mo One, Mo Two, and so on.
“You don’t need to search for the Buddha Beads anymore, I know who took them, and it was with my permission! As for your negligence, punish yourself when you return,” Mo Yunchen said indifferently.
Both Mo Tang and Jing Zhiyue were startled. Master Mo actually knew who took it and even allowed them to do so, but who could it be?
Jing Zhiyue bit her lower lip fiercely, reluctantly speaking up, “Master Mo, those Buddha Beads are vital for your protection, how could you…”
Jing Zhiyue’s words were stifled by Mo Yunchen’s bland, chilling glance, which was calm yet dark and icy, silencing Jing Zhiyue from saying anything more.
Even so, Jing Zhiyue felt resentful inside, trying hard to suppress the surge of anger and hatred in her heart. Who could possibly receive such special treatment from Master Mo, taking away his most important Buddha Beads without any harm? Everyone knew not to take anything from Master Mo’s hands unless they wished for death. For such a person, death would certainly be their final outcome.
Yet now, this person who took Master Mo’s most crucial Buddha Beads did not provoke any anger in him; in fact, there seemed to be a faint smile on his lips, a smile she had never seen on either Master Mo’s or President Mo’s faces—it looked like indulgence!
Who was he indulging? No, she wouldn’t allow it!
