Although Mo Tingqi didn't lose his temper with her, he glanced at her coldly and reprimanded her mercilessly, "I'm in a bad mood. If you don't want to get lost, stay away from me."

Yin Shixi looked at his hand, hesitated, and said, "Your hand..."

Although it was a little embarrassing, the best thing about having a poker face is that no one can tell when you're embarrassed.

It turned out that when Mo Tingqi was enraged, he accidentally crushed the glass in his hand. The shards of glass cut into his palm, and bright red blood slowly dripped from his tightly clenched right fist onto the board.

"It's none of your business, mind your own business." Upon hearing this, Mo Tingqi didn't even bother to look at his own hands, coldly glaring at her with his phoenix eyes slightly raised, his aura so powerful it was suffocating.

This little pain is nothing to him. He just hopes to find his darling as soon as possible. He feels heartbroken just thinking about how scared the girl looks. It's almost been three years and he still doesn't know who kidnapped her.

He hadn't forgotten what Mo Yanyu had said last time. The people who had arrested Momo last time were likely drug dealers. He was worried about where Momo would be taken if they really had arrested her, and whether she would be in danger.

The girl is spoiled rotten at home, I wonder if she'll be frightened by something like this. What's worse, he can't find any trace of her at all...

Even after being scolded by Mo Tingqi in front of so many people, Yin Shixi only trembled slightly with her eyelashes and continued to step forward as if she didn't care, saying slowly, "Let me bandage it for you. This kind of wound is prone to infection."

Mo Tingqi narrowed his phoenix eyes, his voice unusually cold, "No need!"

Yin Shixi ignored him and continued forward, even placing her hand on his.

Mo Tingqi's eyes were desolate as he ruthlessly shook off her hand, his eyes filled with undisguised hostility. "If you don't want to be kicked out, then don't meddle in other people's business."

Yin Shixi's eyelashes trembled slightly, but her eyes still looked at him stubbornly. "I've got it. Your hand needs to be bandaged, otherwise it's easy to get infected."

Mo Tingqi smiled faintly, and without warning, reached out and pinched her chin, increasing the pressure until it left a red mark on her fair and delicate skin. Yin Shixi frowned subconsciously because of the pain.

She had a feeling that her jaw was about to be dislocated by him, which was very uncomfortable. She struggled a little, but she couldn't withstand Mo Tingqi's strength. Her slight struggle only made her feel more pain.

He responded with even colder indifference, "I have no interest in people like you. Don't try to get close to me, or you'll end up like Yan Lin."

He knew perfectly well what they were thinking. Normally, he could handle it, but now, he didn't have the time to play along...

Yin Shixi felt a tremor in her heart, a sense of fear and bitterness rising within her, and her struggling movements ceased.

They all knew Yan Lin. As the former second-in-command of the bar, Yan Lin was famous for her charm and allure. Countless rich young men were attracted to her enchanting yet otherworldly aura.

Everyone in the bar knew she was in love with Mo Tingqi. They assumed she was sleeping with countless men while simultaneously trying to control Mo Tingqi and do whatever she wanted with him.

However, she obviously failed. They didn't know the specifics of what happened, only that two months ago, she was suddenly kicked out of the bar. In fact, as the best and most expensive gambling bar in the capital, most of the hostesses here were not allowed to have excessive physical contact except to drink with the customers.

Unless both parties agree, the bar hostesses also rise in status and are looked up to in the industry. So it's conceivable that if Yan Lin wanted to survive outside this bar, she would have to keep taking customers...

Hearing that her right leg had been broken and several ribs were broken, making it difficult for her to move around, she had always thought it was just hearsay and never paid any attention to it. But now that Mo Tingqi had brought it up, she instantly understood.

"Did you do this?" Yin Shixi asked tentatively, still holding onto a sliver of hope.

"Because she drugged me." Mo Tingqi curled his lips, seemingly unconcerned, but his smile was devoid of warmth, as cold as a demon.

Yin Shixi's heart skipped a beat. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, suddenly sank heavily. She instantly understood Mo Tingqi's intention; he simply wanted to warn her.

Yin Shixi's palms were covered in a dense layer of sweat, damp and sticky, which was very uncomfortable. She tried her best to remain calm and looked him in the eye, assuring him firmly and confidently, "I am different from her."

But only she knew that saying these words was both a reassurance to him and a reminder to herself...

"Who knows?" Mo Tingqi tightened his grip on her chin, making it appear to others that he was gazing at her with deep affection.

But only Yin Shixi could see the cold indifference in Mo Tingqi's beautiful phoenix eyes; the pain in her chin had already numbed her.

All that remained in his ears was his voice, cool and hushed, which only the two of them could hear: "But, Shi Xi, I have a lot of trust in you. People are never satisfied, and being too greedy can be annoying. I hope you won't disappoint me, otherwise it will really be no fun."

"I don't want you to follow in Yan Lin's footsteps. After all, I personally promoted you. Tsk tsk tsk, when it comes to actually doing it, I can't help but feel a little reluctant!"

Yin Shixi's mind was in chaos. She didn't know how she left. She stumbled away from Mo Tingqi's side, and it seemed that she bumped into something along the way, but she didn't realize it. She just went into the bathroom in a daze.
