Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Things nobody wants, no matter how beautiful, are still trash! Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Things nobody wants, no matter how beautiful, are still trash! Inside the office.
Mo Chen sat on the swivel chair behind his desk with an irritable expression, a cigarette perched between his lips.
His slender fingers picked up a lighter and he lowered his gaze to light the cigarette.
A hint of roguishness pervaded his handsome features.
The door to the break room slowly opened.
Qiao Ruoxin came out, carefully glanced at the man, and said, “Brother Mo Chen, I’m leaving.”
After speaking, she turned to leave.
Suddenly, the man’s deep and icy voice came from behind, “You think you’re leaving just like that? Get the fuck back here!”
Her silhouette stiffened slightly, before she turned and walked over to Mo Chen.
“What do you want?”
The man snuffed out the cigarette in the ashtray and abruptly pulled her into his embrace.
Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t help but widen her eyes, a trace of fear evident.
She could clearly smell a hint of mint mixed with the tobacco scent.
Mo Chen opened the bottom drawer of his desk, retrieving a black velvet jewelry box.
Upon opening it, a stunning sapphire bracelet lay inside.
Qiao Ruoxin was taken aback.
The man took out the bracelet and adorned her delicate wrist with it, accentuating her skin’s snowy whiteness.
The bracelet was exquisitely designed, studded with tiny diamonds, and a sapphire cut into the shape of a tear.
Mysterious, regal, yet radiating a sense of distance.
Mo Chen stared at her wrist and said coldly, “Don’t you dare take it off! Or I’ll kill you!”
She smiled faintly, “When did you buy it?”
It couldn’t have been during this time, right?
The current Mo Chen was close to hating her completely, how could he possibly be preparing a gift for her?
“Two years ago.”
Qiao Ruoxin’s heart felt as though it had plunged into the deep sea, saddened.
“Brother Mo Chen, this bracelet is beautiful.”
The man’s elongated fingers brushed back and forth over her slender wrist, his tone harsh as he said, “No shit!”
Two years ago, he had flown to Paris and spent a fortune at an auction to purchase this bracelet.
With the bracelet, he had waited for Qiao Ruoxin in his car on a frigid snowy night, all night long.
Then, he saw Qiao Ruoxin being dropped off at home by another man.
In that moment, his reason fled, and he indeed felt an urge to kill.
Mo Chen looked intently at her delicate and pretty face, his tone cold and disdainful, “It was meant for you originally, so take this piece of trash and get out! I don’t want to see you now!”
After saying that, he roughly pushed her away.
Qiao Ruoxin stood up straight, unable to help but retort, “What ‘piece of trash’? This bracelet is so beautiful, and you’re calling it trash?”
Mo Chen let out a disdainful snort, “No matter how pretty it is, it’s trash if nobody wants it!”
“Who says nobody wants it? I want it!”
“Take it and get the hell out!” he snapped, looking exasperated as though hiding something.
Qiao Ruoxin thought he was still angry about the nightmare she had.
With a sweet smile and a soft voice, she said, “Brother Mo Chen, maybe I was sleeping in a weird position, that’s why I had a nightmare. I really didn’t mean to dream about you dying…”
Mo Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, “So you’re saying the way I held you while sleeping was wrong? Who the fuck do you want to hold you while you sleep?”
“…”
Why does this bastard have to be so nitpicky?
She felt it was better to keep her mouth shut.
“Brother Mo Chen, I really don’t have much time, I have to go now, we’ll talk on the phone!”
With that, she turned and quickly fled the office.
If she stayed any longer, it seemed like Lord Mo was on the verge of losing control again.
