Chapter 437 - Choose

Mo Xi's voice and body trembled as she cried out, and Jing Mo Chen felt as though multiple knives pierced his heart.

The fire in Jing Mo Chen's heart and mind extinguished the moment he heard Mo Xi's words. He raised his arms slowly before he pulled her closer and buried his head in the crook of her neck as he inhaled her scent.

Feeling Jing Mo Chen's arms around her, Mo Xi felt like she was the boat that had been floating around in the vast ocean and finally found the port where she could be safe in.

After a short while, Jing Mo Chen pulled Mo Xi away slightly to kiss her, but she didn't budge. She clung even more tightly onto him as she feared that he would leave her.

"I wouldn't leave you. You are my life. I will die if I leave you…"

Hearing that, tears rolled down Mo Xi's eyes once again, and Jing Mo Chen gently pulled her body away. She loosened her grip a little, and he lifted her face before he kissed her lips lovingly.

After their kiss, Mo Xi then clung onto Jing Mo Chen tightly again.

"I am sorry. I would not overwork myself again…"

Jing Mo Chen stroke Mo Xi's hair gently, "You promise?"

"I promise! I promise that I would not overwork myself again!"

"I know that you are worried about a lot of things and that as long as Poker is still around, you would never be able to live your life without those fears. That's why I didn't stop you from doing all these things. However, I don't want you to overwork yourself and cause problems for your health. In the past, the others couldn't stop you from overworking, but now that you are here and now that you are mine, I don't want you to overwork. However, no matter how angry I am, I would never leave you."

Jing Mo Chen and Mo Xi continued to hug one another for a short while more until he pulled away and carried her to their bed. He then took out the ointments that he took from the kitchen earlier on and started to apply them to her body.

The cooling effect of the ointments relieved a lot of pain from Mo Xi's body, and she felt really comfortable that she started to doze off.

Seeing that Mo Xi had fallen asleep, Jing Mo Chen then lay on the bed with her and hugged her close to him before he drifted off as well.

"Am I really allowed to stay here? Doesn't this place belong to Blue Diamond Entertainment?"

"Yes. Jin Sheng told me to bring you here. Whatever he says can be considered as what Boss Xi says. So, you don't have to worry about it. Besides, if they really didn't allow you to come here, they wouldn't even let you into the place last night. And, even if the security slipped and you could get in without being welcomed, the others would have noticed as well, and you would have been chased out. However, you slept here peacefully last night, so you can rest ȧssure that you are allowed to be here."

"Alright… But what am I going to do here? Did anyone tell you anything?"

"About that… Uhm… No… Jin Sheng told me to accompany you today while he and the others settle some stuff. He said that my duty today is to watch movies with you…"

"Oh… Ok… Wait. What? Movies? Why?"

"He said that I would know when we watch movies together."

"WHAT? Are they… are they trying to matchmake us?" Luo Bing Bing stepped back cautiously as she looked at Su An An.

"No! It can't be!" Su An An shook her head rapidly as she stepped back as well.

Su An An then continued, "He said that you would have to write down your thoughts for every movie after you watched them."

Luo Bing Bing looked at Su An An in confusion, "Did he say why? And did he say what movies I have to watch? Like the genre or the country?"

"Nope. Nothing. He didn't say anything about those. He said to watch movies, that's all."

Then, Su An An's phone rang. She took out her phone to see who called her and when she saw that it was Lu Jin Sheng, she told Luo Bing Bing about it.

"Why is Jin Sheng calling you?"

"I don't know. I will know when I answer," Su An An then answered the call.

"An An, have you told Bing Bing about what she is supposed to do today?"

"Yeap. Do you want me to pass the phone to her?"

"Yes. Thank you."

"Jin Sheng is looking for you."

Luo Bing Bing took the phone with slight confusion, "Hi?"

"One question, do you want to follow your mother, father, or be alone?"

Lu Jin Sheng asked the question without hesitation.

However, Luo Bing Bing was dumbfounded by the question, "What?"

"You are eighteen already, so you can decide whether you want to live with your mother, father, or alone with us."

"I… I… I don't know…"

Luo Bing Bing stuttered because of the shock and also because she genuinely didn't know what to choose. She only thought that coming to Imperial Jade Palace was a chance for her to change herself. She hadn't thought that it would entail choosing between her mother, father, or living on her forever.

"It's ok. You can take your time to think about it. Remember to watch the movies and write down your thoughts on them."

"Ok. Thank you…"

Luo Bing Bing hung up the call and returned the phone to Su An An.

Su An An took back her phone while she asked, "What happened?"

Luo Bing Bing blinked a few times before she looked at Su An An, "… Jin Sheng asked me to choose between living with my mother, father, or alone with you guys…"
