Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Deliberately Cold-Shouldering Her Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Deliberately Cold-Shouldering Her Domestic.
The plane slowly landed, and after about half an hour spent retrieving their luggage, she and Xiaowu finally left the airport.
Qiao Ruoxin sat in the car, looking out the window, she was finally back.
Xiaowu, who was in the front passenger seat, made a phone call and then told her, “Miss Qiao, I will take you to Jiangfu Number One first. Master Mo is currently in a board meeting, his inauguration ceremony is tomorrow, and there will be a birthday banquet at the Mo Family Estate tomorrow night. He might be very busy.”
“Okay.”
Even though she had been sleeping on the plane the whole time, why was she still so tired?
Back at Jiangfu Number One, she took a shower and then changed into a nightgown.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, she waited for Mo Chen until nine in the evening, the damn man had no intention of coming back at all.
He hadn’t even made a single phone call!
A trace of strange eeriness hung in the air.
Qiao Ruoxin always felt that something was not quite right. This feeling was very strange.
She picked up her phone and dialed Mo Chen’s number, which still connected after three rings.
“Brother Mo Chen, why aren’t you coming back?”
The man’s deep and indifferent voice came through from the other end of the line, “I have an engagement tonight, won’t be coming back, you sleep.”
Not coming back???
Qiao Ruoxin felt an inexplicable sense of panic.
“Oh… then drink less, see you tomorrow night.”
“Hmm.”
After hanging up the phone, she felt very uncomfortable.
It was as if a hand had reached into her chest and was tightly gripping her heart.
Maybe it was jet lag that hadn’t reversed yet?
Qiao Ruoxin shook her head and decided to go upstairs to get a good night’s sleep.
…
The next day, evening, Mo Family Estate.
Mo Tian, using Mo Chen’s entry into the board as a pretext, invited numerous celebrities from various circles to the birthday banquet.
Tonight, Mo Chen was dressed in a dark cyan suit, perfectly tailored, standing tall and handsome.
If not for his temperamental character, just by looks alone, he resembled a quintessential aristocratic gentleman, except those dark eyes carried a bit more ruthlessness.
Master Mo’s presence was overpowering, even when standing in front of the industry titans, he did not look the slightest bit inferior.
At that moment, the voice of Gu Mocheng came through his hidden earpiece, “Brothers, take your positions, Qiao Ruoxin will be here soon. Tonight it’s time to test your acting skills. Keep it heartfelt, no overacting!”
Mo Chen slightly furrowed his brows and downed a glass of champagne in one gulp.
Meanwhile, he glanced around carelessly.
And he suddenly caught sight of Qiao Ruoxin, his eyes darkened instantly.
Again, Gu Mocheng’s voice came through the hidden earpiece, “Mo Chen, you need to be cold to her, it’s best if you show a hint of annoyance in your expression.”
Qiao Ruoxin was wearing a black off-the-shoulder slit dress tonight, her skin white as snow, revealing a sexy collarbone and shoulders.
The slender and straight legs were enticingly visible, captivation personified.
Especially the ‘Mermaid’s Tears’ bracelet on her wrist, which added an extra layer of mystery to her.
The water-wave patterned long curly hair carried a hint of playful charm and allure, her makeup was exquisite, and her beautiful eyes were pure and vivid.
Like a noble and elegant black swan.
Qiao Ruoxin walked straight up to the man, wearing a pair of ten-centimeter heels to lessen the height difference between them slightly.
“Brother Mo Chen!” she called out in her soft and sweet voice.
The man glanced down from her collarbone and a hint of displeasure emerged in his brows.
What kind of damned dress is this??? Revealing so much???
He responded indifferently, “Hmm…” and then shifted his gaze away.
So cold?
Is this the same Mo Chen who would hug and kiss her as soon as he saw her?
