Ji Heng Yu grasped the message between Lu Wang Chen’s words: Mo Mo slept at Lu Wang Chen’s place last night? Lu Wang Chen even helped Mo Mo take a bath?
His smiling expression turned cold.
His entire heart sank, and he was unexplainably annoyed.
He glanced sideways and saw the little girl beside him, who looked slightly puzzled, and a lovely pale flush suddenly appeared on her petite face.
Like a thief, she hastily took the bracelet.
She thanked him softly, “Thank you.”
The phoenix eyes looked coldly at the glittering bracelet.
Tch, how could it be so unfortunate that the blue diamond embellished bracelet was the one he had gifted to Mo Mo previously.
Wang Chen must have recognised it and deliberately brought it out at this time. He really…
The words he had happened to see flashed past Ji Heng Yu’s mind. A plastic <sup>[1]</sup> sisterly relationship. Now, he and Lu Wang Chen are considered “plastic brothers”.
The perfect curve of the man’s mouth was a little taut.
Suddenly, it was like he remembered something.
“Last night, Mo Mo was at your place….”
Ji Heng Yu mumbled to himself. He pondered for a moment, and he had a look of dawning realisation and understanding.
“I almost forgot. I heard Qin Chu say Mo Mo got drunk and threw up all over you. Last night, it must have been tough for you, Wang Chen, to make a trip and look after our Mo Mo.”
Lu Wang Chen didn’t respond.
“It wasn’t hard. After all, it wasn’t for nothing. Mo Mo gave me a lot of ‘perks.’” His enunciation was exceptionally clear. He gave a sidelong glance as he continued, “On the contrary, why are you still here after sending her to her doorsteps, Heng Yu? Could it be that… there could be any business in the tens of millions or hundreds of millions waiting for you here, big boss?”
Ji Heng Yu was notorious for being a workaholic.
“I can’t imagine someone as serious as you would be joking, Wang Chen. It’s not. I’ve not quite ‘sent’ her to her doorsteps yet!”
Ji Heng Yu chuckled, and he wore his usual expression.
It was just his smile… made Xiang Yi Mo, whose eyes were inadvertently raised, alarmingly feel a touch of creepiness.
The smell of gunpowder was getting thicker and thicker, and Xiang Yi Mo’s hand gripping the bag was tightening as her eyes darted around.
She thought she was only a few steps away from home, so she should just run away as fast as possible. However, the two men grabbed both of her wrists like two pairs of living handcuffs.
On one side, Ji Heng Yu half-curved his eyes. “Where are you going? As agreed, I’ll send you to your house.” His beautiful thin lips opened and closed, silently reminding her to “be good”.
On the other side, Lu Wang Chen made her take responsibility.
“Mo Mo, you were drunk, and I took care of you all night, made you the cupcakes you always liked, and sent them to you. Now, I have passed you the bracelet you have left behind.”
“I have already arrived outside your house. With our relationship… Mo Mo, shouldn’t you ‘take responsibility’ and invite me inside to sit down and do your part as a host, hmm?”
Xiang Yi Mo was sandwiched in the middle like a sandwich biscuit. She was so sorrowful that she was unable to produce tears even though she wanted to cry.
When the two people meet, it is already so hard. If the three of them meet…
Suddenly, a clear, crisp voice familiar to everyone drifted in from the back of the room. It broke the atmosphere of what appeared to be mutual pleasantries and courtesy but was, in fact, an atmosphere where swords and bows were drawn. <sup>[2]</sup>
“Mo Mo, Wang Chen and Heng Yu…” The man got out of the car and approached them as he called out their names.
Looking at the three’s actions and how his two best friends looked at Mo Mo with bottomless affection, the light-hearted Jing Qian wrinkled his brow slightly. His pleasant voice sounded indifferent, “You guys, what are you doing?”
