Qin Ran felt that she had to explain this matter clearly when she saw the anger in Mo Chi’s eyes. Otherwise, he wouldn’t let her off easily.

  Qin Ran sat up straight on the bed again and raised her right hand to make an oath. “I, Qin Ran, swear to the heavens and the earth. There’s nothing between us. There’s no such thing.”


  Mo Chi put on a proud expression. “You’re not interested in him. But he must be interested in you.”


  Qin Ran was speechless. Tang Chi had always treated her as a younger sister and even treated her as a brother most of the time. It was impossible for him to be interested in her. She could only shrug her shoulders in response to Mo Chi’s question.

  President Mo was also speechless that his wife was always being thought of by others. It was Qin Ran’s birthday today, and he had prepared the gift ten days in advance. He even postponed all his work in the afternoon, and waited at the entrance of her school early, planning to pick her up after school to spend some alone time with her. In the end, a childhood friend appeared out of nowhere, causing him to sulk for the entire night. He even had the risk of being cheated on. However, he couldn’t care less about what others liked. No matter how angry he was, he could only punish his wife.

  “If you’re really angry, why don’t you punish me!” Qin Ran pouted and her face tensed up. In fact, she mainly wanted to change the topic. After all, Tian Mo Corporation was in the arms business and could be considered half an insider. If she continued to ask about Tang Chi and realized his special identity, things would be even more difficult.

  This lass’s attitude of admitting her mistake was not bad. Most importantly, she had telepathy with him. Mo Chi’s anger unknowingly dissipated by more than half.

  “You must be punished. You won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow.” As Mo Chi spoke, his two hands had already casually wandered around Qin Ran’s body. Then, he exerted strength and pulled the little girl under him. The heat that had just faded from their bodies surged again, becoming more and more ferocious, as if they wanted to devour everything.

  The rose petals in the room lay quietly on the ground, as if they were also holding their breaths and watching the show.

  Outside the window, the night deepened, but there was no chill.

  Pain and soreness. Her hazy eyes were not open, but her body was sending her reactions after yesterday’s battle to her brain. What a hungry beast. Qin Ran only wanted to use this sentence to evaluate Mo Chi the next day.

  The curtains in the room were still tightly closed, so it covered the light quite well. Therefore, Qin Ran couldn’t tell what time it was. The phone wasn’t beside her hand, and she didn’t want to take it with her body that was about to fall apart.

  The sound of water flowing in the bathroom was probably Mo Chi taking a shower. Qin Ran thought that she should wait for him to come out before asking about the time.

  “What time is it?” Qin Ran asked when she saw Mo Chi coming out of the bathroom.

  “Just before twelve?”


  Qin Ran’s head buzzed. It wasn’t even twelve o’clock. Was it twelve o’clock in the morning? Then she wouldn’t be able to catch up with her morning class. God, she had missed class. She had been punished the most severely for being late and skipping class during her training at the National Security Bureau since she was young.

  She was not feeling well that winter when she was seven years old. In the morning, she fell asleep in bed and could not get up. However, because she did not take leave in time and skipped class for the entire morning, the punishment she received was not giving her food for a day. She even dragged Tang Chi down and he accompanied her to run for two hours on the training ground in the cold wind with an empty stomach.

  “If I skip class, I’ll be punished.” These were habitual memories that had long been engraved in her bones.

  Mo Chi smiled and didn’t say anything. He only picked up the phone on the table and walked to Qin Ran’s side. He opened WeChat and handed it to her. The interface displayed on the phone screen was Mo Chi and Butler Zhang’s chat records.

  It turned out that Mo Chi had instructed Butler Zhang to apply for leave for Qin Ran at eight in the morning. He even applied for sick leave.

  “There won’t be any punishment if I take leave, right?” Qin Ran still asked worriedly.

  Mo Chi rubbed Qin Ran’s hair lovingly and said gently, “There won’t be any punishment. Besides, your husband is me. Will I let you suffer any punishment?”


  Only then did Qin Ran heave a sigh of relief. She casually collapsed on the bed again and stared blankly at the ceiling with her big eyes.

  When Mo Chi saw this, he couldn’t help but reach into Qin Ran’s blanket again. This lass was really soft and sweet, making him really reluctant to part with her.

  Feeling the man’s slightly cold hands, Qin Ran immediately moved her body to the other side of the bed and wrapped herself tightly with the blanket. Then, she looked at the man with pleading eyes and said pitifully, “Hubby, I beg you. Let me go for the time being. As long as there’s life, there’s hope.”
