The Billionaire’s Brokenhearted Deal
Chapter 346 - 346 346 Leaving Tonight

Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Leaving Tonight? Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Leaving Tonight? Her pitch-black eyes rolled, “Hmm… anything!”

Her slender index finger pointed at the man’s chin, “But no horror stories like last night!”

The man burst into laughter, grabbing her small hand, “Scared?”

“Of course I’m scared, talking about serial killings as if everyone is a psycho like you, fearless of both Heaven and Earth.”

Mo Chen leaned against the bed, quickly searching his mind for an amusing story.

She looked at the man’s handsome face, asking, “Thought of one yet?”

If she didn’t divert her attention with a story, she might get bewitched again by this man’s good looks.

Even though she could see Mo Chen’s face every day.

But watching his face from such a close distance still made her heart flutter uncontrollably, truly a face that she couldn’t get enough of, rightfully acclaimed as the most handsome among the wealthy heirs.

A faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

Having such an excellent Mo Chen all to herself, a sense of pride naturally welled up within her.

Mo Chen: “Got one.”

“Tell me!” A glint of excitement appeared in her eyes.

“During the school dance, it was mandatory to have a dance partner, so I paired up with my cousin’s classmate, and then…”

He burst into laughter mid-sentence, “While dancing, something quite embarrassing happened.”

Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t help but ask, “What embarrassing thing?”

“The zipper on that girl’s evening dress came undone.”

“That really is super embarrassing, and then? Didn’t you take off your jacket to cover her up?”

Mo Chen frowned, “No, I think I left first.”

She couldn’t hold back a laugh, “You’re such a typical case of straight man cancer.”

Good thing Mo Chen had confessed to her when he was already 24, at least mature enough in matters of the heart.

Seeing her laughing so happily, Mo Chen said in a deep voice, “Is it that funny?”

“Yes!”

She got up from the man’s embrace, “I’m going to sleep now, I’m sleepy.”

Then, she picked up her pillow and returned to the bed.

Qiao Ruoxin pressed the remote, turning off all the lights in the bedroom, “Let’s sleep, it’s late.”

The man heaved a deep sigh, lying back down on his makeshift bed, watching the ‘Little Ghost’ on the bed.

Truly heartless.

Mo Chen closed his eyes but couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.

Qiao Ruoxin was also tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Strange, these last couple of days, how comes she couldn’t sleep even though she had such a big bed to herself?

Could it be that she was suffering from insomnia too?

Suddenly, the man’s deep voice rang out in the darkness, “Little Ghost, can’t sleep?”

“Um… No, I’m really sleepy, I’ll fall asleep any moment now.”

“I can’t sleep.”

“Then count sheep.”

“…”

The man laughed helplessly, rolling over to face away from her, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

…

The next day, early morning.

Qiao Ruoxin slowly opened her eyes, her first sight being the man sleeping on the floor, a rare sight of him sleeping in.

She stared at the man’s resting face for a while, then flicked off the covers.

Barefoot on the carpet, she tiptoed over to the man, squatted down, and closely observed his sleeping features.

This dog of a man only possessed a genteel demeanor when asleep.

Her slender finger touched Mo Chen’s sharp and defined brow, tracing downwards to his tall nose bridge, his sexy thin lips, finally resting her fingertip on his Adam’s apple.

Qiao Ruoxin stared at the man’s Adam’s apple and revealed a faint smile, as if lost in pleasant memories.

Suddenly, she saw the man’s Adam’s apple bob.

She paused slightly, eyes widening in surprise, how did it move?

She quickly withdrew her wandering hand.

Mo Chen’s lips curled upwards, but his eyes remained closed, his voice deep and lazy, “Keep touching.”

Qiao Ruoxin’s cheeks instantly flushed red, feeling like she’d been caught doing something naughty.

Then, the man slowly opened his dark eyes and looked at her, “Why did you stop touching?”

Her gaze, somewhat guilty, flitted about uncertainly, “I… I wasn’t, I was just checking to see if you were awake.”

She began to stutter, knowing she wouldn’t be able to keep up the act for much longer.

She turned, intending to return to the bed, but the man behind her caught her wrist, pulling her forcefully into his embrace.

Qiao Ruoxin was trapped in his arms, unable to escape.

“What are you doing?”

The man stared at her unwaveringly, “I’ve been awake for a while, just seeing you touch me incessantly, I had to keep pretending to be asleep.”

“…”

So embarrassing…

Qiao Ruoxin dodged his gaze, her eyes dropping, gripping the collar of the man’s robe tightly.

“What’s there to be shy about? I didn’t say you couldn’t touch, it’s your right.”

“If your Adam’s apple hadn’t moved, I might have continued…”

Mo Chen slightly squinted his eyes, his tone laced with a hint of regret, “Really, that’s a pity.”

Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t help but hit his shoulder, “I’m just taking a flight tonight to shoot a variety show out of town, so is it wrong to want to take a good look at you before I leave? What are you always thinking about in your head?”

With that said.

The man’s face changed abruptly, “You’re leaving tonight?”

“Yes, tonight’s flight, and then I need to familiarize myself with the program schedule tomorrow, recording starts tomorrow night.”

Looking at the man’s expression, she asked somewhat anxiously, “You’re not going to change your mind, are you?”

Mo Chen had done this sort of thing quite often, being tyrannical and unreasonable.

The man replied in a calm tone, “No, since I’ve promised, I won’t back out.”

Really?

Why did she feel something was off?

This was the irritable Divine Beast, Mo Chen! How could he possibly be so agreeable?

The next second, Mo Chen got up, picked her up, and placed her on the bed, then habitually grabbed the ointment and a cotton swab.

“Take off your clothes, it’s time for your medicine.”

Qiao Ruoxin, “Actually, it’s not that serious anymore, it doesn’t really hurt, I can do without the medicine.”

The man didn’t reply but started to undress her, helping her take off her robe personally.

“…” She had no room to refuse.

Mo Chen took off her robe, and she could only lean backward, lying on the soft bed, pretending to be dead once again.

The man was applying the medicine with the cotton swab, as serious as when conducting experiments in the lab.

This man was so obsessive, he never listened to anyone’s advice, just persistently holding onto his own beliefs.

Qiao Ruoxin watched his serious and earnest demeanor and found it somewhat amusing.

After Mo Chen finished applying the medicine, he couldn’t help but ask, “When can I go back to sleeping in bed?”

“You can tonight, since I’ll be leaving tonight anyway, you can have the bed all to yourself.”

“…”

Qiao Ruoxin sat up, put on her robe, and then offered a sweet smile, “Aren’t you happy? You get to sleep in the bed tonight.”

“…”

Mo Chen looked at her, not angry but with a faint smile emerging at the corner of his mouth.

This Little Ghost probably had no idea what was going to happen tomorrow.
