Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Do You Want the Beauty to Save the Hero? Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Do You Want the Beauty to Save the Hero? “Is the meeting very tiring?”

The man’s voice responded lazily, “Mmm…”

While Qiao Ruoxin massaged the man’s temples, she asked, “Do you have to go to the banquet? Why not go home to sleep instead?”

Mo Chen slowly opened his dark eyes, grasped her slender wrist, pulled her around in front of the sofa, and drew her into his embrace.

He held her as if she was a pillow.

The man’s deep voice resonated next to her ear, “I can’t push it off, it’s the Lu Family’s celebration banquet.”

Qiao Ruoxin leaned on his shoulder, the smile at the corner of her mouth stiffening slightly. She really didn’t want to go to the Lu Family, and she wanted even less to meet that Lu Xingxing.

Mo Chen hugged her on the couch, closed his eyes, and said softly, “Sleep with me for half an hour, then we’ll leave.”

“Okay, sleep. I’ll be with you.”

She looked at the man’s handsome profile, which appeared tired.

She couldn’t help but stroke his face with her fingers, feeling a twinge of heartache for him, as he had to deal with so much every day, he must be very tired.

…

Evening.

The Lu Family’s celebration banquet.

The Lu Family had shut down all their factories abroad and was completely shifting their development back to the domestic market, so they held a celebration banquet to not only entertain friends within the circle but also to widely announce their return.

The banquet was at the Lu Family’s villa.

Qiao Ruoxin stood chatting with Lan Ke in a corner.

“Are you still experiencing morning sickness?” She took a sip of her juice.

Lan Ke shook her head with a smile, “Not anymore, I just feel really sleepy. Xiaobai has been coming home every day to accompany me, taking me everywhere, probably afraid I’ll be kidnapped again.”

“Who would’ve thought Xiaobai usually acts so carefree, but when it comes to loving you, he has always been serious,” Qiao Ruoxin said with a touch of envy in her tone.

Lan Ke frowned, “What do you mean by that… Is the love Mo Chen gives you not enough?”

Not wanting to burden Lan Ke with her troubles, she just smiled faintly, “He’s also very good to me.”

Lan Ke spoke to her seriously, “Ruoxin, I think you made the right choice marrying Mo Chen. He’s very suitable for you; you two are the most perfect match.”

“Yeah, I know. Oh, by the way, I heard that the Lan Family’s business has recently run into problems, and they’re looking to Xiaobai for help?”

Lan Ke scoffed coldly, “Do you think Xiaobai would care about the Lan Family’s mess? He’s known for his vindictiveness.”

“Yeah, Bai Junyan may act all easy-going around us, but in the business world, he has never been soft-hearted.”

Qiao Ruoxin glanced unintentionally over to where Mo Chen was, just in time to see Lu Xingxing coming over with a champagne glass.

It looked like the newcomer had ill intentions.

She put down her juice, “Ake, I’m going to check over there.”

“Okay, sure.”

…

Mo Chen was conversing with someone, and his peripheral vision had already caught sight of Lu Xingxing approaching.

The moment he saw this woman, impatience flashed across his brows.

His long fingers picked up a champagne glass, took a sip, and frowned in displeasure.

Lu Xingxing, with a smug smile on her face, walked up to the man and taunted, “Lord Mo, you don’t think that just because you’ve seen my body and said I’m hard on the eyes, I’m going to let it go, do you? Do I look like the type who’s easy to push around?”

Disdain filled Mo Chen’s black eyes as he said in a cold, emotionless tone, “I can see it, you have a shrewish nature.”

“Mo Chen! I have put up with you for a long time. You saw my body and said I’m hard on the eyes! Now you’re also calling me a shrew! How can there be a man like you!”

Lu Xingxing, her anger flaming, clutched the champagne glass, ready to splash it onto that exceptionally handsome face!

Truly, aside from his good looks, he was good for nothing else!

Suddenly!

“Ah!”

Qiao Ruoxin was caught between two people, and the champagne in Lu Xingxing’s hand had accidentally spilled onto her own face.

The surroundings erupted into a commotion.

At this moment, Lu Xingxing looked extremely embarrassed, her eyes burning with resentment as she glared at Qiao Ruoxin, who had suddenly appeared before her!

Whereas Qiao Ruoxin had an innocent expression, “Miss Lu, I’m sorry, let me quickly help you change your clothes!”

Having said that, she looked back and gave Mo Chen a glance, “Mo Chen, wait for me a moment, I will be right back.”

Then, she pulled Lu Xingxing away from there.

With so many curious stares around her, Lu Xingxing had no choice but to cover her face with her hands and let Qiao Ruoxin lead her to a secluded area.

Glancing around and seeing no one, Qiao Ruoxin let go of Lu Xingxing’s hand and said coldly, “Go change your clothes yourself.”

After speaking, she intended to turn around and leave.

Lu Xingxing shouted angrily, “You stop right there! Did you do that on purpose or not?”

She slowly smiled, turning around, “Of course it was on purpose. Do you think I would just stand by and watch as you threw champagne on Mo Chen? You really thought highly of yourself.”

“He owes me that! Who let him see my body! Perverts should pay the price!”

Qiao Ruoxin was somewhat helpless, even finding it laughable, “Please, Miss Lu, can we be reasonable? It was you who showed up in the men’s changing room, not Mo Chen actively going into the ladies’ changing room to peek at you changing.”

“I don’t care! He must apologize to me and beg for my forgiveness! Otherwise, I will not let him off!”

“…”

She truly was unreasonable and impossible to communicate with.

Qiao Ruoxin stepped closer to Lu Xingxing, her gaze cold and clear, “Lu Xingxing, I warn you, don’t try to embarrass Mo Chen in public, put away your childish little tricks.”

“Ha! Qiao Ruoxin, I’m ready to take you on. Do you want to be the damsel who rescues the hero? You should weigh whether you have the strength for that!” Lu Xingxing said disdainfully, her every move filled with arrogance.

The night was silent.

Qiao Ruoxin slightly narrowed her beautiful eyes, sizing up the willful and arrogant Lu Xingxing before her.

“Lu Xingxing, could it be that you want to pursue Mo Chen?”

“Chase after him? Why should I chase him? We are already betrothed since childhood. You, Qiao Ruoxin, you’re like a homewrecker now, aren’t you?”

She couldn’t help but laugh out loud, her laughter filled with sarcasm. “A homewrecker? How shameless you are to say that.”

…

At the party scene.

Mo Chen wore a black suit, tall and majestic, his handsome face veiled with frost, his eyes searching for the figure of that “Little Ghost.”

He even looked at his wristwatch impatiently.

Twenty minutes had passed.

Suddenly, that soft voice rang out: “Mo Chen, looking for me?”

The man looked up to see Qiao Ruoxin standing before him with a radiant smile, his irritable expression eased somewhat.

Mo Chen picked up a glass of orange juice and handed it to her, his voice deep, “What took you so long?”

“Nothing much, just chatting with Miss Lu.”

She took a sip of the orange juice, her manner elegant, poised, and proper.

The man frowned slightly, “What do you have to talk about with her?”

Qiao Ruoxin looked at him, blinked her eyes, and said, “Miss Lu said she wanted to take revenge on you, and I said I would protect you.”

Mo Chen stared at the charming and sweet little face before him, finding it a bit amusing, “You protect me?”

“Yes, indeed, don’t you believe me?”

The man raised his right hand, touched Qiao Ruoxin’s head, “Okay, I’ll let you protect me.”

Qiao Ruoxin revealed a sweet smile.
