Chapter 31 - What a shame!
Since he did not have to negotiate the terms with Mo Yi Qing, Jing Xiao Can could only resign to his fate and stay here temporarily.
He opened the suitcase and put the simple clothes in the closet.
At the bottom of the trunk was a Crystal Photo Frame. It was a photo of her and her mother.
The background was in the courtyard of her family's villa. Under a flowering tree, her ten-year-old mother was sitting on the swing with her arms around her mother's neck. The two of them were hugging and laughing with extreme happiness and sweetness.
I haven't seen my mother for days.
Jing Xiao Can's eyes reddened. She lowered her head and kissed her mother's cheek, then leaned on the side of the wardrobe and tightly hugged the Photo Frame to her chest.
After a long while, she placed the Photo Frame on the bedside table, wiped the tears flowing from the corner of her eyes, and squeezed out a smile towards her mother inside the Photo Frame, softly promising her: "Mom, I have some troublesome matters now, in a few days I will definitely come see you, believe that I can take care of it, when I have saved up enough money, I will bring you out, we can work hard together!"
After adjusting his mood, Jing Xiao Can looked around the room.
Aunt Zhou's words were indeed true.
The room was furnished with the most luxurious cloths, furnishings, and furnishings. It had a rich and unrefined tonal, an unrestrained and elegant layout, an almost natural and graceful line, and was luxurious and comfortable, giving one a supreme experience.
Jing Xiao Can pulled open the window to the ground and stood on the balcony. When she raised her eyes to look into the distance, it was already dusk.
She could not help but exclaim in surprise. At the same time, she secretly admired Mo Yi Qing's unique eyes.
The Imperial Castle's excellent geographical environment and design made her look like an overlord. She looked down on everything in the world with a haughty attitude.
Jing Xiao Can's eyes glanced at the spot next to him. Aunt Zhou had just said that the next door was Mo Yi Qing's room.
Thinking about that arrogant man, Jing Xiao Can's mood immediately plummeted.
He turned around and walked out of the room.
He raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.
What had happened before had not been made clear, and she had to talk to him now.
The door was closed, Jing Xiao Can's hands were already numb from the knocking, there was no movement from inside.
She frowned angrily, then pressed her hands against the door and cursed under her breath, "Mo, what do you mean by playing dead in your room?"
The design of the Imperial Castle was meticulously designed by dozens of top designers in the world. They used the world's most advanced AI technology, capable of opening and monitoring doors.
And at this time, Jing Xiao Can who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws at the door, would never have imagined that all her movements would fall into Mo Yi Qing's line of sight.
The more he scolded, the angrier he got. Jing Xiao Can lifted her legs and stepped on the door, using both hands to support herself as she shouted, "Mo, I will count to three, if you don't get out, see, this is what will happen to you, you …"
Before she could finish her sentence, the door opened.
"Ahh …" A blood-curdling screech sounded at the door.
Caught off guard, Jing Xiao Can crashed to the ground with a thud, her pretty face twisted in pain.
His hands felt numb and painful. His elbows, knees, and even more so, his ligaments were all broken!
[You really can't curse people behind their backs. You are going to get your revenge immediately.]
Woo woo … * How embarrassing!
It would be embarrassing if he fell to his death.
Jing Xiao Can lied on the ground. She wished that she could dig a hole in the ground with her hands and hurriedly hide inside.
Although Jing Xiao Can had learned ballet dancing before and had some basic skills, due to the sudden occurrence, she was completely unprepared and still fell to the ground like a dog gnawing on mud.
"Aiyo, Mom, I fell to my death." Jing Xiao Can lied on the ground as he inhaled cold air from the pain. He crossed his legs and with a face full of suspicion, he mumbled to himself, "This is really weird, the room's door was just shut tight, why did it automatically open all of a sudden?
She propped herself up on the ground and looked up. She was immediately dumbfounded.
In the sofa opposite, Mo Yi Qing gracefully put down the remote control in his hands and picked up a glass of red wine.
"Leaning on my door sneakily, what are you trying to do?"
Mo Yi Qing took a sip of the wine and swirled his wine with a disdainful look on his face.
"Huh?" Jing Xiao Can was startled, and inwardly ridiculed. Could this person have some sympathy? Didn't he see that she couldn't even stand up?
He even interrogated her like a thief!
"I... I didn't come here to be secretive, I just wanted to make things clear to you. " She tried to sit up, but her whole body was in bone-splitting pain.
After struggling for a while, she could only obediently lie on the ground with her hands behind her head. She waited for the pain to subside a bit before sitting up.
This time, he was really embarrassed in the Pacific Ocean.
"Really?" Mo Yi Qing put down his wine cup, walked to her side and squatted down, extending his hand to grab her lower jaw, half-believing his words.
"Of course it's true. The reason I came back with you was to clarify the matters between us. Who told you to not give me the chance to explain? I've been waiting outside the door." Her face was innocent and sure.
"But I just heard you slandering me." Even he himself felt baffled that she would be so patient as to give her a chance.
"No, absolutely not. Cough cough, how could I dare!" Jing Xiao Can's face was serious, refusing to acknowledge it even at death's door.
His back was covered in cold sweat.
F * ck, is his ear a thousand miles long?!
She was confident that she was the only one who could understand the meaning behind her words.
Well, he must have cheated her.
This man was really not a normal black sheep!
Mo Yi Qing snorted, stood up and left, "Since Miss Jing is so forgetful, then let's lie on the ground and think about it."
All she had to do was admit that he had intended to take her to the sofa without a fuss.
It seemed that he had thought of her too simply.
The man leaned back against the back of the sofa. He fiddled with the remote, his hawk-like gaze sweeping over her face, trying to resist the urge to pretend to be innocent.
Their eyes met.
Jing Xiao Can's heart thumped.
Could it be that his door was bugged?
It can't be?
If she wasn't angered by him, she wouldn't have lost control at that moment.
Who could tell her if it was too late for her to admit it now?
Jing Xiao Can was extremely regretful and was extremely conflicted.
"My patience is limited. If, I prove that you are lying, I will add another clause to the agreement."
"Cough, cough, cough …" "No, no, no, no..." If he had known earlier, he would have directly lay on the ground and pretended to be dead the moment he fell!
Emma! My old waist, it's really going to break.
Damn it all, don't you understand how to show mercy to the fairer sex?
Couldn't he save the girl like a hero once and help her to breathe before asking again?
