Cheng Jia looked at MO Xiuchen with surprise, “Young Master MO, this weekend is your birthday?”
Mockery shed through the depths of MO Xiuchen’s cold eyes. His handsome features were frosty, his expression indifferent and disdainful.
His birthday was the eighth day of the eighth lunar month.
But he was curious if MO Jingteng remembered his birthday. Did he remember that this was also the death anniversary of his mother, who jumped off a building on his eighth birthday right before his eyes…
MO Jingteng had truly forgotten. It was only after seeing MO Xiuchen’s suddenly chilled demeanor that he realized. A wisp of embarrassment shed across his aged face that was etched with years. Meanwhile, Cheng Jia who was observing them, also noticed the change in MO Xiuchen’s demeanor, bit her lip and dared not speak.
The atmosphere in the spacious office suddenly became icy.
m response to ms son’s sarcastic gaze, IVIO Jingteng openea ms mourn to exin but didn’t know how to do so. A fleeting cold smile appeared in Xiao Wenqing’s eyes right by him. Just as she was about to speak up, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in!”
MO Jingteng’s expression changed slightly, he used this opportunity to avoid MO Xiuchen’s mocking gaze and spoke in a low voice.
The person that came in was MO Zixuan. He was holding a document and a trace of coldness shed across his eyes when he saw MO Xiuchen in the office.
Seeing the document in MO Zixuan’s hand, MO Jingteng wanted to ask him something, hoping to divert the awkward topic. However, MO Xiuchen, who was frosty just a moment ago, suddenly put on a smile and readily agreed,
“Sure, this weekend Wen Ran and I wille. Why not invite Zhou Lin as well? She is already Zixuan’s woman. Who knows, perhaps she is already carrying a child of the MO family!”
MO Zixuan had just entered, not knowing what had happened in the office. Upon hearing MO Xiuchen’s words, his handsome face instantly changed, and his sharp, icy gaze shed with MO Xiuchen’s. The fingers clutching the document tightened.
MO Jingteng furrowed his brows slightly, turned his head to his younger son, and said in a low voice, “Zixuan, tell Zhou Linter that she shoulde to our house for dinner this weekend. Also, let’s pick a date and get the wedding over and done with.”
MO Zixuan, annoyed, blurted out without thinking, “If you want to get married, go ahead. But I will not marry Zhou Lin.”
“Zixuan, how could you talk to your father like that!”
Xiao Wenqing’s face changed drastically, and she rushed to stop MO Zixuan. After all, there was still someone from the outside in the room.
MO Zixuan didn’t care, he continued to say, ‘Why can’t I? I don’t like Zhou Lin at all. I’ve already said, I was set up. My one true love is Wen Ran. Aside from her, I won’t marry anyone else all my life. ”
While saying these words, MO Zixuan red bitterly at MO Xiuchen. He was certain that it was MO Xiuchen who orchestrated him and Zhou Lin ending up together in bed and snatched the woman he loved from him.
There was a touch of cold sarcasm at the corner of MO Xiuchen’s sensuous mouth. His long narrow eyes looked dismissively at MO Zixuan. His seemingly casual words were rife with warning and chilliness: “Wen Ran is your sister-inw, not someone you can have fantasies about, let alone a woman like Zhou Lin who can easily get into bed with a man.”
“Wen Ran was originally my girlfriend. If you hadn’t used despicable means to win her over, she would never have married you at all.”
MO Zixuan was seething with rage, he was convinced that the person who drugged him was MO Xiuchen.
“Despicable tactics?”
MO Xiuchen scoffed coldly, “I’m also curious to know who resorted to despicable tactics and who drugged you.. If you figure it out, be sure to let me Imow, I must thank her!”
