Chapter 82: Extra Chapter 2

Xue Kaiwen had no idea about Xu Siyang’s matters. After they picked up the car, they left directly. Xue Kaiwen originally wanted to invite Xu Siyang to dinner. He said, “How about I treat you tonight, buddy? I know a newly opened bar that’s not bad.”

Xu Siyang looked unenthusiastic and said calmly, “Forget it, I have something tonight.”

Mo Xingchen still wasn’t answering his calls, and Xu Siyang didn’t want to sit around and wait any longer. He planned to go straight to the hospital today. No matter what, he wanted to explain himself one more time.

Xue Kaiwen tried to persuade him, “We haven’t had a drink together in a long time. I’m organizing something tonight; I’ll invite a few more people.”

Seeing Xu Siyang’s absentmindedness, he put his arm around his shoulder and asked with a smile, “Are you going to see someone?”

To his surprise, Xu Siyang actually nodded. He said openly, “Yes, I’m going to see an important person.”

An important person?

Xue Kaiwen immediately perked up and asked, “A girlfriend?”

Xu Siyang pondered for a moment, then shook his head: “Not yet.” But she definitely would be later, the young master of the Xu family thought with such certainty, completely disregarding that she wouldn’t even speak to him right now.

“Who is important enough to warrant such a grand effort?” Xue Kaiwen was truly a little curious.

Xu Siyang smiled, happily saying, “You’ll know later.”

Xue Kaiwen knew he wasn’t going, so he didn’t press the matter.

Xu Siyang glanced at his watch. It was already 4 PM, almost time for Mo Xingchen to get off work. He drove directly to Mo Xingchen’s hospital.

As he arrived at the parking lot, by sheer coincidence, he ran into her coming down from the building.

Mo Xingchen was walking towards the parking lot with a colleague. Xu Siyang was sitting in his car, about to open the door and get out, when he saw her suddenly stop. Xu Siyang thought she had seen him, but then he saw her wave to her colleague and stand in place to answer a phone call.

He slowly walked over. When Mo Xingchen answered the phone, he didn’t know what was said, but she turned around in a circle.

She happened to have her back to him.

After he approached, he heard her say, somewhat exasperated, “Mom, can you stop playing matchmaker? I’m doing fine now, I don’t want to go on a blind date.”

This was actually a call forcing her into a blind date.

Mo Xingchen usually didn’t get angry with her parents, but her mother, starting from Chinese New Year this year, seemed to have been provoked by something and insisted she find a boyfriend quickly. Because of this, she barely stayed home during the New Year and just packed her bags and returned to Beijing.

“I have plenty of university alumni all over the world, so what if he’s my alumnus? I don’t want to see him,” Mo Xingchen was unhappy.

He didn’t know what the other side said, but after a few minutes, she pleaded, “Okay then, I can go. But this is absolutely the last time.”

After Mo Xingchen hung up the phone, as soon as she turned around, she saw the tall man standing behind her.

The sun was setting, painting the sky with red clouds. The red glow enveloped his jade-like face, but that handsome face now held a hint of displeasure.

“Mo Xingchen,” he called her name softly.

Mo Xingchen’s heart trembled, and she secretly cursed. Could he not use that tone with her? No matter how angry she was, that voice was just too pleasant...

No, she absolutely could not soften this time.

Xu Siyang looked at her quietly and said softly, “Can you not go?”

After speaking, his eyelids drooped slightly.

She had originally wanted to tell him fiercely, “None of your business,” but upon seeing his pitiful expression, Mo Xingchen suddenly couldn’t bring herself to do it. He truly looked like a fluffy big dog, as if with just one word from her, he would go to the ends of the earth for her.

And that face, no matter how many times she saw it, she still thought it was damn good-looking.

Mo Xingchen was practically driven crazy by her “face connoisseur” trait, but could you imagine that feeling? There’s just one person who perfectly matches your ideal appearance—their eyes, nose, even a small, unintentional expression can deeply touch your heart.

Xu Siyang, for her, was just such a person.

Mo Xingchen gripped the phone in her palm.

“Xu Siyang, stop wasting your time on me. A young master like you, if you want to play games, go find someone else,” Mo Xingchen said, hardening her heart and speaking seriously to him.

Xu Siyang saw her about to leave and grabbed her wrist, saying anxiously, “Xingchen, listen to me. I’m not playing games with you. It’s just that you misunderstood that day, and I didn’t know how to explain it to you, so...”

So he just went along with the misunderstanding, and besides, he was being pressed too hard by the old man during that time.

He was the young master of the Xu family, but he didn’t want to join the company. For him, he preferred to do what he wanted. But the old man insisted he join the company. Xu Siyang didn’t know where his rebelliousness came from, but he just went with the flow and stayed at Mo Xingchen’s house.

But now he almost regretted that decision to death.

Mo Xingchen didn’t want to hear him speak anymore. She had such a strong “face connoisseur” trait that she feared if she looked at him two more times, her eyeballs would be completely captivated by him. How could this person be so good-looking?

She thought resentfully.

Xu Siyang had finally seen her, so naturally, he wasn’t willing to let her leave like that.

“Xingchen, at least give me a chance,” Xu Siyang wasn’t a playboy; he truly had no tricks for dealing with girls. He just knew Mo Xingchen was angry, and he was anxious and frustrated, wanting to make her stop being so angry.

But he just couldn’t find the right way.

Mo Xingchen walked straight towards her car, with Xu Siyang following closely behind.

As she reached her car, she saw a black Porsche sports car parked on her left. This was a car she liked; every time she saw it on the street, she would glance at it a few times more. She took a quick look and still thought the car was really beautiful.

When she opened the car door, Xu Siyang blocked the entrance, preventing her from closing the door.

Mo Xingchen looked at him coldly, “If you keep doing this, I’m going to scream for help.”

“Go ahead and scream,” Xu Siyang hardened his heart, knowing he couldn’t let her leave like this.

No sooner had he spoken than Mo Xingchen screamed at the top of her lungs, “Harassment! There’s a pervert!”

The yell was full of vigor, startling Xu Siyang, who bent down to cover her mouth. As he bent and squeezed into the car, he lost his balance and directly pressed Mo Xingchen against the seat back. He didn’t know whose hand touched the button, but the driver’s seat slowly started to move backward. Mo Xingchen leaned back, and Xu Siyang, who was pressing her down, lost his footing even more.

Mo Xingchen looked up at the person in front of her; his face was inches away, his dark eyes shining like stars.

Xu Siyang also looked down at her. For the past few days, he had been asking himself, “Do I like this girl?” No matter how many times he asked, he still felt he did. But how long had they known each other? Moreover, he had been with someone else before. Yet, liking someone was uncontrollable.

She rescued him at the bar entrance, took him out for barbecue, and gave him shelter.

He stayed at her place for a few days, waiting for her to get off work every day. They went to the supermarket together, and she bought him a pair of slippers in the same style as hers—one pink, one blue.

Although she said it was because buying two pairs got a discount, he saw through Mo Xingchen’s little intentions.

Xu Siyang wasn’t trying to play some hidden identity game; it was just that by the time he wanted to explain, it seemed he couldn’t explain it clearly anymore.

He looked down at her; there was no distance between them, and they could even see themselves in each other’s eyes.

“Xingchen,” he called softly, his lips almost touching Mo Xingchen’s. At this moment, Mo Xingchen looked at his face, her eyes filled only with a soft expression.

Just as Xu Siyang’s kiss was about to land, a sudden shout erupted from nearby: “You, what are you doing? Get down here quickly! How dare you harass a girl in the hospital, you’ve got some nerve!”

Xu Siyang was caught off guard and was pulled out. His head accidentally hit the car door.

He clutched the back of his head and turned to look at the person holding him, seeing an elderly man in a security guard uniform, angrily pulling at him, his finger almost poking into his eye: “How dare you do something bad in the hospital? I think you’re tired of living, falling into my hands today is truly a blessing from heaven!”

The old man’s voice was quite loud. With that shout, people around them looked over.

Xu Siyang was thin-skinned and quickly explained, “Grandpa, we’re just a couple messing around, please don’t misunderstand.”

“I heard everything clearly just now. The young lady clearly shouted ‘harassment!’” the old man said, looking like he didn’t believe a word he said, clutching his clothes and not letting go.

At this moment, Mo Xingchen quickly got out of the car. There were already quite a few people gathered around her car.

When the security guard saw her, and then looked at her car, he realized she was a doctor at the hospital. After all, her car entered and exited the hospital every day. This made him even angrier. How dare someone try to assault a doctor right at the hospital.

“I’m telling you, young man, you look decent. Why do you have to harass girls? Today, you’ve fallen into my hands, it’s truly divine retribution,” the security guard said righteously.

The people watching the commotion shook their heads and sighed with regret, seeing such a handsome young man capable of such an act.

Xu Siyang felt truly embarrassed and immediately whispered, “Xingchen, quickly help me explain!”

“Heh heh, you’re really bold, still daring to threaten her!” The security guard saw that he wasn’t submitting obediently and still harbored thoughts of escaping, which made him even angrier.

Mo Xingchen had originally intended to teach him a lesson, but when she saw that the security guard truly intended to take him to the police station, she didn’t dare to be willful anymore and quickly said, “Grandpa, we actually know each other. We were just playing around.”

“Playing around? He pinned you in the car, girl. Don’t be afraid. I know there are many perverts these days. Tell me the truth, and I’ll protect you today,” the security guard had personally dragged the person out of the car just now.

Upon hearing this, the people nearby burst into laughter.

Mo Xingchen was truly mortified. She was afraid that if she said anything more, she wouldn’t be able to stay at this hospital anymore.

“Grandpa, we really are a couple, we just had a fight,” she said, her voice growing softer and softer.

At this moment, a warm hand clasped hers tightly, broad and strong. Xu Siyang’s voice held a hint of happiness and triumph, “Everything I said was true, what else do you doubt?”

The security guard finally believed that it was just a squabble between a young couple. After a few words, he told the onlookers to disperse as well.

Once everyone had left, Mo Xingchen tried to shake off his hand, but Xu Siyang had already anticipated it and held on even tighter.

Mo Xingchen turned to glare at him: “Let go of me.”

Xu Siyang: “No.”

Mo Xingchen was truly speechless. She said, “I should have let that old man arrest you just now.”

“You couldn’t bear to,” Xu Siyang said with certainty.

Mo Xingchen: “...” Sure enough, she shouldn’t have softened just now.

She hadn’t even made a false step, yet it had already become an eternal regret.

“Go ahead and regret it slowly by yourself,” Mo Xingchen forcefully shook her hand, finally breaking free, and got into her car. As she started the car, she saw Xu Siyang, standing outside, take a car key from his pocket. With a click, the door of the black Porsche beside them opened.

Mo Xingchen froze. This car was actually his?

When she saw him get into the car, she became even angrier. She never expected that his looks were her favorite, and even the car he drove was her favorite car.

It was simply hard to dislike this person.

Why had she not answered his calls all these days? It was precisely because she feared that once she did, she would soften towards him.

Her principles and bottom line seemed to be easily broken in front of him.

Mo Xingchen’s home wasn’t far from the hospital. She knew the Porsche had been following her, but after she entered her residential complex, the Porsche couldn’t get in. Seeing that the car was no longer behind her, she didn’t know whether she felt relieved or disappointed.

In the evening, Bai Yu called, inviting her to a newly opened bar.

“Many people are coming tonight, why don’t you come too? They’re all familiar faces anyway,” Bai Yu, because of his connection with Huo Ci, always liked to bring Mo Xingchen along, so she had gotten to know everyone in that circle.

It must be said that she was the most successful fashion marketing account on Weibo. Even the editors of the five major women’s magazines were very familiar with her. After all, her Weibo influence was considerable, and sometimes they would need her help with promotion.

Mo Xingchen hadn’t planned on going out tonight, but thinking that tomorrow was the weekend and she didn’t have to work, she thought about it and agreed.

She just didn’t expect that she would witness a good show there.

This bar had just opened, and the owner’s background was not simple; they had invited many celebrities. Even supermodel Liang Xi came today, sitting in a booth not far from them.

Unexpectedly, Liang Xi’s agent came over to greet Bai Yu and asked them, “Why don’t you guys join us?”

The agent was being so polite because of Huo Ci.

However, Bai Yu’s table also had many people. He smiled and shook his head, saying, “I’ll go over and have a couple of drinks. If we all join, there are too many of us.”

So Bai Yu pulled Mo Xingchen along, and they went over together.

Upon arrival, Bai Yu greeted Liang Xi and was about to introduce Mo Xingchen when Mo Xingchen looked down and saw Xu Siyang nestled in the sofa, playing a game on his phone.

Beside him sat a woman in a black slip dress, with long, seductive curly hair and slightly parted red lips, leaning against him and watching him play the game.

Mo Xingchen’s heart caught in her throat; she suddenly felt an indescribable sensation.

“This game is pretty good,” the curly-haired woman smiled slightly, her soft chest pressing against his arm.

Xu Siyang had tried his best to move to the side, but even though he had squeezed himself into the corner, the person next to him still wouldn’t leave him alone. The pungent perfume wafted into his nose in waves, making him want to sneeze.

Just as he couldn’t stand it any longer and was about to get up and leave, he looked up and saw Mo Xingchen looking at her.

Clang! The phone in his hand fell to the ground. He stood up in a hurry, not daring to speak, and even reached out to grab her. After taking her hand, he swore to heaven, “I don’t know her, first time meeting her, I don’t even know her name.”

Mo Xingchen sneered, saying nothing.

Xu Siyang was even more anxious. He kicked Xue Kaiwen. He hadn’t wanted to go out today; it was this guy who dragged him out of his house.

This group was also Xue Kaiwen’s friends. Only this supermodel Liang Xi seemed a bit familiar to him; everyone else was truly a first-time meeting. When that woman introduced herself just now, he had only half-listened to her name and had almost completely forgotten it by now.

“Is this your girlfriend?” Xue Kaiwen didn’t explain, but instead became interested in Mo Xingchen.

However, it was too noisy inside, and Xu Siyang was afraid he wouldn’t be able to explain clearly, so he simply pulled Mo Xingchen outside. Bai Yu, fearing she might suffer, also followed them out.

As soon as Xu Siyang stepped out, he explained, “I was really dragged out by him today. I haven’t even had a drop of alcohol; otherwise, you can smell me.”

After speaking, he leaned in, allowing Mo Xingchen to smell if he had any alcohol on him.

His anxious explanation truly made him seem like a man caught at a bar by his girlfriend, a little cautious and a little exasperated, just afraid of being misunderstood by his girlfriend.

Xue Kaiwen also feared spoiling his chances and quickly said, “Siyang is right, I really dragged him out. This bar was just opened by a friend of mine, and I came to show my support. That woman just now, he doesn’t know her. She was brought by Liang Xi and her friends. He didn’t even say a word to her.”

It was no wonder others flocked to Xu Siyang. These women were well aware of luxury brands. Besides anything else, the two-million-plus watch on Xu Siyang’s wrist alone was enough to make people cling to him desperately.

Mo Xingchen then curled her lips slightly, saying indifferently, “What does it have to do with me?” But her expression didn’t match her words.

Seeing that her expression wasn’t as terrifying as before, Xu Siyang chuckled and said, “How about I treat you to a late-night snack? I don’t think there’s anything interesting here anyway.”

Xue Kaiwen finally realized that this was probably the “very important person” Xu Siyang had mentioned.

“I’ll treat for the late-night snack, I’ll treat. What I did today was wrong, I shouldn’t have dragged Siyang out to have fun. After all, he’s not like me anymore,” Xue Kaiwen smiled.

Just then, several sports cars roared past and drove directly to the bar entrance.

And when Xu Siyang saw Meng An step out, his expression suddenly turned cold.

Mo Xingchen, however, quickly scanned the scene and also froze. This Meng An was not unfamiliar to her; she had seen him a few times at parties before, but the most memorable impression, of course, was at the bar entrance last time, which was also her first meeting with Xu Siyang.

Xue Kaiwen, on the other hand, glanced at the girl who got out of Meng An’s car. She was a girl with long, straight hair, dressed not as ostentatiously as the others who got out of cars, but rather with a fresh, natural beauty.

However, they had just seen Meng An at the car dealership this afternoon, and at that time, he was with a different woman.

Even Xue Kaiwen couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle softly, “Look at how fast he changes girlfriends, faster than he changes clothes.”

Meng An’s clothes from the car dealership this afternoon were indeed the same ones he was wearing now, but the woman he was with had already changed.

Unexpectedly, as the two parties met, the girl clutching Meng An’s arm became nervous first.

Song Ruiqing hadn’t expected to see him again. She lowered her head slightly, her heart filled with bitterness.

Although Meng An’s actions were impetuous, it didn’t mean he was brainless. If Song Ruiqing hadn’t acted so obviously, he wouldn’t have gone looking for trouble. Seeing Song Ruiqing lower her head, looking like she didn’t want to be seen by the other party, he instead directly took her hand and walked towards Xu Siyang.

“Oh, kid, I see you again,” he snickered, sizing up Mo Xingchen, then said sarcastically, “This chick isn’t bad, but you’d better keep a close eye on her, don’t let her run off with someone else again.”

These words not only insulted Xu Siyang but also included Song Ruiqing in the insult.

Mo Xingchen certainly knew these two people; she just hadn’t expected them to be so shameless. They were merely relying on their family’s money, but unfortunately, in terms of wealth, Xu Siyang truly didn’t lose to him.

“Beautiful lady, I advise you to break up with this poor guy as soon as possible. He doesn’t even have a few coins in his pocket; what can you expect from him?” Meng An said, feigning sincerity, while his accompanying friends burst into laughter.

She scrutinized the other party, then sneered, “Who are you talking to?”

Xue Kaiwen was also confused. A poor guy? Was he talking about Xu Siyang?

“Before you spout nonsense, I suggest you look at yourself. See if there’s anything else about you that can attract others besides money,” Mo Xingchen had probably gotten used to being with Huo Ci. When she spoke, her cold, sarcastic tone made you want to sink into the ground.

Meng An was about to get angry after she finished speaking when Mo Xingchen suddenly reached into Xu Siyang’s pocket and pulled out a car key.

The Lamborghini emblem flashed in her hand before she tossed it to the valet.

“Excuse me, please bring the car over.”

“Also, if your family doesn’t have a trillion-dollar company, please don’t call yourself a rich person in front of our Mingsheng Group’s young master, okay?” Mo Xingchen looked at the other party indifferently.

Finally, she spat out two cold words: “Poor scum.”
