Chapter 98: Chapter 98: You Don’t Actually Love Me, Do You? Chapter 98: Chapter 98: You Don’t Actually Love Me, Do You? Mo Chen was furious, suddenly erupting in anger, “You couldn’t give me a single phone call in two years? Or send one message! Even just one word!”
She had been imprisoned by her own mother, how badly could she be abused?
“My mom locked me up in the Lawrence Family manor, wouldn’t let me go out, and I wasn’t allowed to use any communications devices. Plus, my mom always lied to me, saying she was in poor health, and I didn’t dare to make her angry, I…”
Saying so much, even she felt like it was an excuse.
Qiao Ruoxin suddenly felt a bit angry, “Also, she showed me the rumors about you, and at that time, my heart really turned cold. I thought you had a new girlfriend…”
Even now, when she recalled the rumors she had seen back then, it still made her very upset.
At these words,
Mo Chen suddenly let out a laugh, his laughter full of mockery and despair, “So you saw them…”
It was the fifth month after Little Ghost had disappeared when he deliberately let the media expose the rumors to force Qiao Ruoxin to come out.
He thought Qiao Ruoxin would suddenly appear, calling him a scumbag, or even slap him across the face.
But in the end, reality told him that he had overestimated his importance in Qiao Ruoxin’s heart.
“So you saw the rumors of me with other women, and you were indifferent, choosing to give up, is that it?”
“…”
At that time, she hadn’t just chosen to give up on Mo Chen, she also chose to give up on herself, which is why she attempted suicide in the bathroom.
Mo Chen grabbed her chin, staring into her eyes, “Why choose to come back after two years? Why think of finding me only after two years have passed?”
“I…”
She was just about to answer when she was suddenly held in his embrace.
Qiao Ruoxin’s chin rested on the man’s broad shoulders.
A deep, cold voice reached her ear from Mo Chen, “Forget it, I don’t want to listen anymore. As long as you’re by my side now, that’s enough.”
She let out a gentle laugh, hugging the man’s body.
“Little Ghost, you actually don’t love me at all, do you?”
Qiao Ruoxin’s body stiffened, pushing away from the man, “Why would you say that?”
He spoke lightly, “You’ve known me since you were 14. Aside from calling me ‘brother’ every time you see me, have you had any other thoughts about me?”
“…”
She couldn’t help but widen her eyes, somewhat shocked.
She hadn’t.
But she wanted to retort, “That’s because you were always so cold to me. With our age difference, I thought you wouldn’t like a child like me…”
Qiao Ruoxin’s words were cut off as the man interrupted her, “During the summer and winter vacations, whenever you went to Bai Junyan’s place, I was there. Do you think that was just a coincidence?”
She was at a loss for words, unsure of how to respond.
Could it be… Mo Chen was there to see her???
Indeed, as she recalled, whenever she and Lan Ke went to Bai Junyan’s place to hang out, she always saw Mo Chen with a cold demeanor, sitting on the couch, arrogantly snobbish and begging for a thrashing.
Mo Chen lit another cigarette and put it between his lips, exhaling the smoke onto her face.
“Cough cough…” She was a bit choked by the smoke, coughing twice.
He spoke in a deep voice, “If it weren’t for me ruthlessly eliminating those men who tried every means to pursue you, you would probably belong to someone else by now, right?”
Ever since Little Ghost got into film school, there were too many rich young men chasing after her.
As Gu Mocheng had said, she was the ideal type for most of the rich heirs in their circle.
“…” She was shocked once more.
So those men who had given up halfway through pursuing her had all been dealt with by Mo Chen?
Seeing her astonished expression, Mo Chen let out a scornful, disdainful chuckle, “To you, I’m nothing more than a powerful and influential wastrel, hot-tempered, weird in character, and treating you hot and cold.”
“It’s not like that…”
