Chapter 208: Chapter 204: Brother Mo Chen, Have You Fallen for Someone Else? (2)
"Driving me away?" Rong Mochen looked at Jin Jumo, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone.
"If that’s what Mr. Rong wants to say, then so be it," Jin Jumo said.
Rong Mochen snorted softly, stepped forward, and his towering figure immediately pressed in like a mountain. His cool, long fingers brushed over Jin Jumo’s slender, delicate neck like a snake, "Little Mo, why do you have to be like this? You know I can never let go of you. The colder you are to me, the more you avoid me like the plague, the deeper my obsession with you becomes. If you really dislike me so much, you should do the opposite and comply with me in everything. Maybe one day, I’ll stop bothering you and let you be free."
"Every person is independent, with independent thoughts. No one can touch or change what’s in Mr. Rong’s mind except Mr. Rong himself, and the same goes for me. If Mr. Rong finds this amusing, then by all means, continue," she said.
Rong Mochen’s eyes suddenly darkened, his long fingers lingering at her neck abruptly moved up and forcefully lifted her chin, smiling coldly, "Is this your tactic? Remaining passive, treating me coldly, just waiting for the day when I find it dull and naturally let you go?"
"I said, how Mr. Rong thinks and acts depends entirely on Mr. Rong, while the autonomy of any decision I make is in my own hands," Jin Jumo said in a lowered voice.
"Ha, good, very good." Rong Mochen sneered coolly, his long fingers pressing down slightly on her parted lower lip before brushing them away.
Behind her came the sound of the door opening and closing, Jin Jumo suddenly closed her eyes, and her straight back instantly relaxed.
"Mommy, where’s Daddy?"
Xixi’s clear voice came through.
Jin Jumo’s eyelashes fluttered lightly, she exhaled a little and turned to look at Xixi, who had just come out of the bathroom after washing her hands with her brother, and smiled as she approached, "It’s almost nine, Xixi and brother should take a bath and go to sleep."
"Where’s Daddy?" Xixi blinked her eyes, looking at Jin Jumo puzzled.
Jin Jumo’s face stiffened slightly as she stared at Xixi’s soft little face for a while, then spoke in a low voice, "Does Xixi like Daddy very much?"
Xixi bit her lower lip and nodded slightly.
"Isn’t it good for Mommy to always be with Xixi?" Jin Jumo looked at Xixi and said.
"It’s good. It’s obviously good for Mommy to always be with Xixi." Xixi cupped Jin Jumo’s face and whispered, "Xixi hopes, Mommy and Daddy will both always be with Xixi."
"..."
S City International Airport entrance door.
Stomping her foot and standing to the side of the entrance, a slender woman wasn’t craning her neck to look around.
The woman looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, her long straight hair hung naturally at her chest without any dyeing.
The woman had a pair of bright and clear eyes and good skin that was rosy white.
In the winter, she wore an ankle-length thick down jacket, her hands and neck almost hunched inside, seeming very cold.
Suddenly, without knowing what she saw, the woman’s eyes lit up, and she didn’t care to take her luggage at her feet, excitedly sprinting forward, "Brother Mochen..."
With the woman’s crisp and soft voice, she threw herself entirely into the man’s broad chest.
"Brother Mochen, you’re finally here. If you hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known what to do," Gu Lingyi said, choking, tightly hugging Rong Mochen’s narrow waist.
Rong Mochen’s face was expressionless, his hands grasped Gu Lingyi’s shoulders and pulled her away from his embrace.
Once she left his warm chest, Gu Lingyi seemed to shiver from the cold, her whole body trembled, and with red eyes, she looked pitifully at Rong Mochen, "Brother Mochen."
Rong Mochen withdrew his hands, his dark eyes were calm and his handsome cold face showed no sign of closeness, "So, you came to S City without your father’s knowledge?"
Gu Lingyi guiltily bit her lips and obediently dropped her head, "If my daddy knew I came to S City alone to find you, he would definitely not approve, so I didn’t dare to tell him!"
Rong Mochen glanced at her, stretched his long legs and brushed past her, heading straight to the airport entrance.
Gu Lingyi raised her head in confusion, frowned and turned to look at Rong Mochen, asking softly, "Brother Mochen, what are you doing?"
Rong Mochen paused, his deep cold eyes devoid of warmth, looked back at her, "Book the next flight to Z City and send you back."
"I don’t want to!"
Gu Lingyi stared wide-eyed in panic and said loudly.
"It’s not up to you!" Rong Mochen’s thin lips coldly parted, almost striding forward.
Gu Lingyi’s lashes flickered fiercely, she bit her teeth, rushed up, and blocked in front of Rong Mochen, her youthful face now filled with questioning, "Brother Mochen, I just arrived, and you’re rushing to drive me away. Is it because there’s some secret here of yours you fear I’ll discover, so you’re driving me away?"
Rong Mochen looked at her calmly, "Once you’re on the plane, I’ll notify your father to send someone to the airport to pick you up."
Gu Lingyi’s eyes reddened, "I’ve flown all the way back from such a distant place, how can you be so cruel, Brother Mochen?"
Rong Mochen looked at Gu Lingyi’s reddening nose, a face quickly flashed through his eyes.
His dark eyes narrowed, and the expression on Rong Mochen’s face became even colder and indifferent, "An incident like today, I don’t want to happen a second time."
"..."
Gu Lingyi’s heart, filled with anticipation and excitement to meet the lover she yearned for, couldn’t help but cool down, looking at Rong Mochen’s unfamiliar and hurtful gaze, "Brother Mochen, you never treated me like this before. You’ve changed, become so indifferent. I hardly recognize you anymore."
Rong Mochen’s dark eyes flickered, he looked at Gu Lingyi’s face, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
Gu Lingyi sniffled, turned her face to the side, and said with resentment, "Even though you’re so heartlessly driving me away, I still can’t just leave like this. I have to see what’s the nature of the woman who’s taken your heart away!"
Rong Mochen furrowed his brows tightly, "You’re not leaving, is that it?"
Gu Lingyi retorted indignantly, "Not leaving!"
Rong Mochen said nothing more and turned to leave.
Gu Lingyi looked at his decisively cold back in disbelief, her hands at her sides clenched tightly. She chased a couple of steps after him, her voice filled with uneasy doubt, "Brother Mo Chen, where are you going? Are you... are you going to leave me here?"
Without turning back, Rong Mochen got into the black Infiniti and drove away.
Gu Lingyi stared dumbfounded as the car disappeared in a blink, unsure if it was from the cold or something else, her limbs felt unbearably numb.
With her clear eyes blinking in confusion, suddenly, Gu Lingyi burst into tears.
Since childhood, Gu Lingyi had been the treasure of her family. Until now, she hadn’t even washed her hair by herself even once, or poured herself a glass of water, always having someone to hand it directly to her. When had she ever received such cold treatment and neglect?
Her heart was filled with grievance and helplessness, growing into a deep panic and fear.
Her fingers trembling, Gu Lingyi shakily took out her phone from her down jacket pocket and dialed a number.
As soon as the call connected, Gu Lingyi cried out, "Daddy..."
"Unbelievable!"
In the presidential suite, Gu Yan was so startled he almost jumped off the sofa, first staring wide-eyed at the calm Rong Mochen on the sofa, then looking at him with admiration written all over his face, "Boss Rong, honestly, in my entire life, I’ve never admired anyone, but you’re definitely the first and the last.
You’re not only ruthless to yourself! You’re ruthless to everyone! I admire you, really!"
Learning that he simply left Gu Lingyi at the airport and came back by himself, Gu Yan almost blurted out to call him a "beast"!
Rong Mochen’s gaze was utterly indifferent, glancing at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan shook his head, "Boss Rong, Gu Lingyi is only nineteen, young and pretty like a flower. Aren’t you afraid something might happen to her and the Gu family won’t let you go?"
"How can he not let me go?" Rong Mochen sneered coldly.
Gu Yan rolled his eyes, "Sure, even if the Gu family can’t really do anything to you, but if they get too upset, the Rong Family might get affected. If the Rong Family has issues, won’t the old man be hard to explain to?"
"Hmph." Rong Mochen snorted, uninterested in responding.
Gu Yan widened his eyes, wanting to tell him not to be so arrogant.
But thinking about how he actually had the capital to be arrogant, he swallowed his words begrudgingly.
Towards a certain someone, Gu Yan really had nothing more to say.
After sitting on the sofa for a few minutes with growing frustration, Gu Yan scratched his head and abruptly stood up, grabbing the car keys off the coffee table and heading straight for the hotel door.
Rong Mochen leisurely lifted his gaze to look at him, "Where are you going?"
"Where could I possibly be going? It’s my goddamn fate to clean up after you!"
Gu Yan cursed irritably.
Rong Mochen raised an eyebrow, surprisingly not angry this time, only saying coldly, "I advise you not to go."
"..."
Gu Yan screeched to a halt at the door, turning back angrily to glare at the composed Rong Mochen on the sofa, anger boiling within him, "If I don’t go, what if something really happens?"
"Then it happens!" Rong Mochen said lightly, his thin lips barely moving.
Damn!
If he couldn’t beat him, Gu Yan really had the urge to kick him twice!
An hour later, Gu Yan returned to the hotel looking dejected, tossed the car keys onto the coffee table, and slumped into the sofa, staring ghostly at a certain someone sipping tea leisurely, "Didn’t catch her!"
Rong Mochen didn’t raise an eyebrow.
Gu Yan pouted, "When I got there, she was gone. She didn’t answer her phone, and I searched all around the airport but couldn’t find her."
Rong Mochen glanced up at him.
Seeing this, Gu Yan sat up straight on the sofa, his eyebrows deeply furrowed towards his nose, holding back for a while before speaking, "Boss Rong, did you already know I’d make a pointless trip and come back empty-handed?"
This time, Rong Mochen finally spoke, though his tone was still indifferent, "Didn’t I tell you not to go?"
"..."
Gu Yan closed his eyes reluctantly, "You call that advising?"
"Yes." Rong Mochen nodded.
Gu Yan clenched his fists, finally unable to hold back any longer, "Boss Rong, you clearly knew that old chap from the Gu family always has people following Gu Lingyi, which is why you cruelly left her at the airport without a care, right?
Seeing Gu Lingyi standing lonely at the airport entrance, that old chap from the Gu family couldn’t bear it and would naturally have those people escort her to safety."
