Chapter 154: Chapter 154: A Birthday Gift for You Chapter 154: Chapter 154: A Birthday Gift for You Late at night, at the Jiang residence No. 1.
Mo Chen had locked himself in the study for three hours already.
Qiao Ruoxin, holding the men’s watch she had customized, approached the study door and knocked, “Brother Mo Chen, may I come in?”
The door was locked from the inside, but she found the master key card and swiped it to let herself in.
The study was pitch-dark, Mo Chen was sitting in the chair behind the desk, clenching a cigarette between his lips, his handsome face gloomy.
She had no idea what he was thinking.
Qiao Ruoxin walked over and turned on a nearby floor lamp, its dim yet gentle light filling the room.
Then, she saw him enveloped in smoke, the cold and slightly sinister expression on his beautiful face becoming apparent.
“Brother Mo Chen… you haven’t started liking men, have you?”
In an instant, Mo Chen burst out in a furious roar, “How many times do I have to say it? No!!!”
Then she understood what was going on.
“You all teamed up to play a trick on me, right? Wanting to see if I would care?”
“…”
Mo Chen, with a cigarette in his mouth, stared at her little face through the smoke.
Complete defeat.
It seemed that no tactic worked on this Little Ghost.
Just thinking about Ji Haochuan’s imposing drag queen figure made her burst into laughter.
But Mo Chen took it as her mocking him.
He suddenly sat up straight, extinguishing the cigarette butt in the ashtray.
Pulling her into his embrace, he gripped her chin forcefully, “Do you find it funny to see me like this?”
Qiao Ruoxin’s chin was pinched painfully, she frowned, “It hurts, be gentle!”
His eyes were still filled with hostility, but the grip on her chin softened slightly.
She handed him the black velvet box in her hand, “Here, your birthday gift.”
A flicker of surprise passed through Mo Chen’s eyes, then disappeared instantly.
The man slightly arched an eyebrow, his lips curling into a smile, “For me?”
He released Qiao Ruoxin’s chin and opened the black velvet box.
It was a customized Patek Philippe men’s watch, with a royal blue dial and a black alligator leather strap, exuding a business elite style that suited his status and position well.
The smile on the man’s face grew stronger, yet he still managed to say in a grudging tone, “Not bad.”
Such a tsundere dog of a man.
“There’s also a little heart engraved on it, representing my name.”
Mo Chen, looking at the tiny heart carved into the watch dial, laughed out loud, “Childish.”
She suddenly hugged his body, her chin resting on his broad shoulder, “Brother Mo Chen, I know you don’t trust me.”
“…”
“I won’t go back anymore, I don’t want to go back, I like being with you.”
Mo Chen’s arm clasped around her slender waist, his voice deep and stern, “Don’t disappoint me again.”
“Okay.” She stepped away from his embrace, looking at the watch, “I spent all my savings to customize this watch for you, and you just said ‘not bad’? How disappointing…”
The man frowned, “You spent all your savings?”
“I had it customized at the headquarters, it was already quite expensive, I’m not a heartless little brat,” she muttered quietly.
Mo Chen’s long fingers tickled her chin as though teasing a little kitten, “Little Ghost, you’ve grown up.”
“I grew up a long time ago, it’s you who always treated me like a child,” which was why she always felt incapable of being independent.
His gaze fell on her chest, he chuckled lowly, his tone indulgent, “Hmm, you’ve grown a bit more recently.”
Qiao Ruoxin glanced down following his gaze, her sparkling eyes glaring at him in anger, “Pervert!”
His low chuckle in response, he handed the watch to her, “Help Brother Mo Chen put it on.”
