Chapter 97: Chapter 97 - 97 97 I Really Didnt Betray You

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: I Really Didn’t Betray You Chapter 97: Chapter 97: I Really Didn’t Betray You She even found herself afraid to meet Mo Chen’s eyes.

Guilt, fear, panic.

An indescribable sense of shame.

“Two years ago, I never intended to really break up with you, I was just throwing a tantrum. You were involved in a research project due to business confidentialities, something I had no idea about, and then you started to disappear for months at a time, only keeping in touch through calls and WeChat.”

“…”

Gathering her courage, Qiao Ruoxin raised her eyes to look at the silent man and continued, “Everyone said that you were actually trying to break up, but were too embarrassed to say it outright, trying to save face for a little girl and pressuring me into initiating the breakup instead.”

“…” The man’s handsome face tightened, shrouded in dark clouds.

“It was precisely during that time that my dad had an affair, and my mom was making a fuss about divorce. I was in a really bad mood. When I finally saw you after a month, you didn’t explain anything and just fiercely slept with me all night, then you continued to disappear.”

“…”

Tears began to well up in Qiao Ruoxin’s eyes: “At that time, I felt extremely humiliated, and together with my father’s affair, that’s why I impulsively made a scene about breaking up with you.”

At this point, Mo Chen’s expression had turned even uglier, as if a storm was about to break at any moment.

“On the day it snowed, you waited for me all night, and then you beat my stepfather’s son until he was bleeding all over the ground. To tell you the truth, I was quite disappointed in you that day.”

“…” The pressure of his grip on her slender waist increased.

Qiao Ruoxin smiled faintly: “That night, my mom took me to meet my stepfather. I really didn’t betray you. My mom and I talked all night. At daybreak, I was determined to return home. My stepbrother offered to take me back, and that was that.”

“…”

“My mom intended to marry into the Lawrence Family, and it just so happened that we had argued, so I decided to attend the wedding and then explain everything to you when I returned. I didn’t want to indulge your bad temper any longer.”

The man’s lips curved into a self-mocking smile.

Having heard all this, the rot within his chest seemed to intensify.

“But I never expected that once I left, it would be for two years.”

Mo Chen snorted derisively, letting out a scornful laugh: “Qiao Ruoxin, you didn’t leave, you vanished from the Human World! I couldn’t find you no matter where I searched! You were nowhere to be found!”

Her thick, long eyelashes trembled: “I was imprisoned by them, I simply couldn’t leave! My mom wanted me to stay by her side, saying I was too young to understand what love is. She claimed everything she did was for my own good, insisting you would never cherish me, and she also wanted to…”

At this point, Qiao Ruoxin struggled to continue.

Mo Chen’s long fingers violently gripped her chin, his eyes burning with anger: “What did your mom want to do!”

“My mom… wanted me to marry my stepbrother…”

As expected…

The man’s dark eyes flashed slightly, followed by a cold laugh: “So it turns out, that trash got what he deserved from me. My only regret is not killing him on the spot.”

Qiao Ruoxin looked at his handsome face, her heart pounding violently.

Let’s leave it at that, she had said all that could be said.

The rest… were things unspeakable, also things that would provoke Mo Chen.

“I’ve said everything…”

Mo Chen looked at her with a slightly nervous gaze, his voice stern and cold-blooded: “Little Ghost, over these two years, have you been trying to accept that piece of trash.”

“I haven’t!” she immediately retorted.
