CHAPTER 121: CHAPTER 118 THIS BEAUTIFUL RED PHONE

Mo Rutian walked over and picked up the beautiful red cellphone.

This is hers. Holding the cellphone, Mo Rutian walked out of the private room, but there was no trace of her.

If she discovers her phone is missing, she’ll definitely come back to find me.

With this in mind, Mo Rutian returned to the private room to wait for her.

Meanwhile, in Luxury Suite No. 6, Hua Xiaomo, who had just returned, nearly collided head-on with Qi Longbing, who was about to leave.

"...Where have you been for so long?" Qi Longbing asked with a drunken smile, the faint scent of alcohol on his breath brushing against her face.

Hua Xiaomo quickly turned her cheek away, putting some distance between them. "President Qi, I’m not feeling well. I’d like to head back first. Please, you all continue drinking."

"Heh, as it happens, we’ve just finished... Shall we leave together?" Qi Longbing chuckled, then reached an arm out to guide her.

Seeing his slightly drunken state, Hua Xiaomo steadied his arm with one hand. "President Qi, you’re drunk. Let me help you out."

"No, I’m not drunk!" Qi Longbing laughed again, then looked at President Wang inside. "Well then, it’s settled, President Wang. Enjoy yourself; it’s all on me!"

Then, Qi Longbing walked out of the private room with Hua Xiaomo, only to run into someone in the hallway.

The man was dressed in a striking blue-and-white suit, his long hair flowing freely. His bright face was handsome and gentle. Who else could it be but Mo Rutian?

Qi Longbing looked at Mo Rutian, a mocking smile on his handsome face. "Yo, isn’t that Director Mo? What a coincidence!" Then, he abruptly pulled away the arm Hua Xiaomo was steadying, slung it around her shoulder instead, and pulled her forward.

Mo Rutian gazed at the woman in Qi Longbing’s embrace. He didn’t understand how that Youya face had lost its beautiful radiance...

It really is a coincidence, Mo Rutian thought, his hand clutching her cellphone tighter and tighter. If possible, he desperately wanted to pull her away from the other man right then and there.

But reason told him he couldn’t act so impulsively.

Hua Xiaomo lowered her gaze, deliberately avoiding Mo Rutian’s line of sight, pretending not to see him.

This blatant disregard...

Mo Rutian felt it as a sharp blow to his heart, already insecure when it came to affection.

"Baby, you’re so beautiful!" Qi Longbing slurred with a drunken laugh, oblivious to everyone else as he ruffled her hair with one hand. He then bent down, smiling dotingly as he looked at her.

A deep blush of embarrassment instantly spread across Hua Xiaomo’s cheeks.

This damn Qi Longbing! Must he behave like this in front of others? Hua Xiaomo frowned slightly, her beautiful face showing increasing awkwardness and distress.

Mo Rutian watched them, deep melancholy filling his star-like, hazel eyes, his body as rigid as a statue, seemingly unable to move.

Just as they were passing each other, Mo Rutian suddenly reached out and grabbed Hua Xiaomo’s right arm, halting her.

"Xiao Mo, leave him!" Mo Rutian said in a low voice, the clear effort of his restraint visible in his eyes, which were now faintly bloodshot.

The drunken haze in Qi Longbing’s eyes cleared considerably, his mind sharpening instantly. A sinister malice swiftly enveloped his blue eyes. "What? Mo Rutian... say that again to me?"

His peerlessly handsome face flickered with a sinister, dangerous light. How dare anyone speak to him like that? Are they tired of living?

HMPH.

Courting death!

This bastard! He’s truly infuriating! Telling Xiao Mo to leave me? Does he think I’d ever let her go? For now, Xiao Mo will be my secretary. She’s diligent. And it’s clear she’s a hard worker. Yes, good. I’ll cultivate her, make her work even harder for me. I can’t let this Mo Rutian off the hook. I absolutely won’t let him speak to me like that!
