Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Customizing a Men’s Watch for Mo Chen Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Customizing a Men’s Watch for Mo Chen Qiao Ruoxin looked back and immediately spotted several bodyguards in the crowd, coming to capture her.
It was only after she and Xiaowu entered the boarding gate that the bodyguards stopped their pursuit.
She finally let out a sigh of relief, having boarded the plane at last.
In first class.
Xiaowu sat beside her, ready to protect her at all times.
Qiao Ruoxin glanced at Xiaowu, “How many years have you been with Mo Chen?”
“Two years.”
She was slightly startled – that was from the time she disappeared two years ago.
“How has he been… these two years?” She never had the courage to ask Mo Chen directly.
Xiaowu responded truthfully, “To be honest, not so good. I was assigned by Mr. Mo to protect the elder Mr. Lawrence; he had just gotten out of the hospital from a car accident and would constantly drink and fight, becoming more and more irritable. He would even feel nauseous at the sight of couples kissing.”
Qiao Ruoxin clenched the blanket covering her, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Xiaowu continued, “I remember one night, Elder Mr. Lawrence saw a couple being affectionate in front of him, and he started vomiting uncontrollably, then he beat up the guy and ended up paying a lot of money in compensation.”
“…” She couldn’t say a word.
“However, Miss Qiao, since you came back, the elder Mr. Lawrence has been much better. He at least appears to be quite normal on the surface.”
Qiao Ruoxin’s voice was a bit stiff, “Has anything else happened?”
Xiaowu, “A lot, but the one that I remember most vividly is when Elder Mr. Lawrence set off fireworks one night in the estate. I heard him saying to the air, ‘Happy Birthday, did someone set off fireworks for you?'”
Mists gathered in her eyes and teardrops slowly fell on the blanket.
She looked out the window at the ground crew working; the plane hadn’t taken off yet.
Closing her eyes, she gradually fell asleep.
When she woke up, the plane had already landed in Switzerland.
Qiao Ruoxin used the Lawrence Family’s connections to place a custom order for a men’s watch at Patek Philippe’s headquarters, which she had reserved since her escape back home.
Consequently, the numbers in her bank account were pitifully low.
Xiaowu accompanied her to the designer’s office.
“Qiao, you’ve finally come. Your watch has been ready for a long time.”
“Too busy, had no time.”
Qiao Ruoxin sat opposite the office desk and took the shopping bag the designer passed to her.
She took out the black velvet box inside, opened it, and her eyes lit up, a hint of surprise showing on her face.
She also instantly noticed the small heart pattern she had requested to be engraved on the dial, which symbolized her name.
“Qiao, shall we have dinner together tonight?”
Qiao Ruoxin closed the velvet box, “No thanks, I want to go back home, I’m anxious to return.”
“Okay then, see you next time.”
Xiaowu walked out of the company headquarters with her, preparing to start their journey back.
She looked down at the shopping bag in her hand, imagining Mo Chen’s reaction when he saw the watch – he should like it, right?
She believed her taste wasn’t too bad.
Qiao Ruoxin picked up her phone and dialed Mo Chen’s number.
After three rings, it connected.
“Brother Mo Chen?”
“Hmm…”
“I’ll be on the flight tonight, probably back home by tomorrow. Will you come to pick me up?”
“Depends on the time, I’ll do my best.”
Such a perfunctory response???
Qiao Ruoxin’s tender voice rang out again, “Oh… do you miss me?”
“Hmm…”
Her lips curled into a smile as she raised her head to look at the azure sky, yet suddenly, her mother’s sorrowful look flashed before her eyes.
She shouldn’t disappoint Elder Mr. Lawrence again, right?
She probably shouldn’t…
Her heart was in turmoil.
