Chapter 168 Take the Recorder
The man raised his eyebrows and said casually, "I saw your message and came to pick you up."
After not seeing each other for many days, the two were no longer close. "When did you return home?"
Huo Qichen straightened up a little, "Yesterday."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Jian Mo's legs felt a little weak.
She wanted to move forward, but she missed a step and her body fell. The man narrowed his eyes, and the next second, she was safely held by a strong arm.
The sudden intimate behavior made both of them feel at a loss.
Her limbs stiffened for a moment. Jian Mo looked at the buttons on Huo Qichen's chest and felt inexplicably aggrieved. She pushed him out with all her strength, and her action showed her resistance.
Huo Qichen's eyes were heavy, and he hugged her tightly, showing no sign of letting go.
Jian Mo was anxious and blurted out: "Huo Qichen!"
He said in a low voice, "I'm here."
Next second.
"Give me the recorder." She heard him say.
Ice-cold water was poured over my head.
Jian Mo's chest heaved, "Huo Qichen, why are you so obsessed with my recorder?"
The man didn't answer.
She didn't look away, just stared at him, as if she wanted to see into his mind and see what he was thinking.
The man tilted his head slightly when he was looked at.
Jian Mo, who was on the verge of losing control, felt his heart skip a beat, all kinds of emotions surged, and he was almost about to give up.
But still he said, “Give it to me.”
Jian Mo didn't move at all, just trapped in his arms, shivering all over, "What's your relationship with Song Ke that makes you protect her like this?"
"Or do you want to protect Qingying? Why?"
Huo Qichen's lips moved, so Jian Mo didn't want to hear his answer at all. "Do you know what's in here? It's the evidence she used to frame me! Do you think I'll still believe what you said? Are you using this to clear my name?!"
Huo Qichen was not a man who was good at explaining, so he took a deep breath and said, "Just give it to me, I won't hurt you."
Jian Mo's subconscious mind was clamoring for her to believe him, but various experiences showed that she couldn't.
"You won't harm me? But you know as long as I don't release this recording to the world, no matter how high I climb in the future, I'll still be looked down upon by everyone. Ah, this Jian Mo is nothing but a habitual plagiarist!"
Her tone was extreme, and every word she said was deafening.
Huo Qichen felt like something was pricking his heart, and he felt something was slipping away. He hugged her tightly, a little flustered, "No, they wouldn't dare."
So, it turns out that I have to protect Qingying.
Jian Mo's throat was dry. "Huo Qichen, I am your wife, your first wife. We haven't divorced yet. I thought you understood my feelings. If you didn't fall in love with me, you should at least feel sorry for me. But what are you forcing me to do now? Forcing me, forcing me to give up my reputation to protect another woman's reputation."
"Am I so cheap in your heart? Like a kitten or puppy, you tease me when you're in the mood, and throw me aside when I'm no longer useful. I'm not even as good as these women out there."
She was shivering, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and was extremely cold.
Huo Qichen was very confused. He only knew that he couldn't stand her talking about him like that, and couldn't stand the tone of her voice when she said that. He felt so pitiful, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.
"That's not the case. You will have a better life, but Qingying was just confused for a moment. If she is exposed, her life will be ruined."
Jian Mo almost suffocated, "You knew about this a long time ago, and you also knew that it was Qingying who did it, right? But you didn't reply to my message, and you didn't tell me when you returned to China. What have you been doing these days? Can you tell me?"
His face turned ashen.
"Is Qingying important, or is there someone else? Is she so important that you lose your composure? But Huo Qichen, I have dignity too. You think so lowly of me when you say that."
Her tone suddenly turned cold: "What if I don't give it to you?"
The sudden force pushed her back, and when her back hit the wall, her head hit her head hard. She closed her eyes, but did not feel the expected pain, but the softness of his palm.
The man in front of him was slightly imposing, his face solemn. He pulled his hand away and went to find hers. He suddenly asked: "I told you not to go to the Zhou anniversary celebration, why didn't you listen?"
For her, these words were just a way to change the subject.
Jian Mo kept silent, hid her hands behind her back, and refused to give him anything.
Huo Qichen's patience was running low. He grabbed her arm and tried to pull it out. "You knew I didn't like you meeting Zhou Liangqi, but you still went, huh? You slapped Song Ke in the face. I saw it with my own eyes. Can't you calm down?"
He showed no mercy and Jian Mo staggered. His arm hurt and he groaned subconsciously.
Huo Qi Chen was distracted by the low cry and reduced his strength a little, but still did not let go.
I don't know what angered the woman, she suddenly started to struggle violently, beating with her hands and feet without any rules, her eyes full of anger, she yelled and screamed, "Huo Qichen! Get out! You are not allowed to touch me!"
Huo Qi Chen held her in his arms. Unhappy with her struggle, he lost his grip and slapped her face, on the neck and the side of her face. The force was not strong, but the slight sound made both of them stunned.
Huo Qi Chen seemed to be angry, and took advantage of her distraction to easily pull the recorder from her hand.
Jian Mo felt that all his strength was gone.
Huo Qi Chen frowned, feeling extremely panicked. He didn't know how to explain it to her, and any explanation at this time would be a pale excuse.
Jian Mo looked at the recorder in his hand and spoke with a trembling voice: "If you take this thing today, I will hate you."
The man's whole body trembled, and the strength in his hands unconsciously tightened.
He took it after all.
The woman with watery eyes looked like a fragile porcelain doll under the light.
In Mingyuan's master bedroom, Jian Mo slumped on the floor. Huo Qichen's secretary looked at her, "Madam, don't take it to heart. Mr. Huo has already sent someone to the organizing committee to explain. It's all just a misunderstanding. You can still continue to participate."
The woman sat on the ground, silent, her face pale.
"Miss Qingying saved you. Mr. Huo might be repaying her kindness, you know."
She still didn't speak.
The secretary could only sigh, "A few days ago, we received a photo of you and Mr. Zhou in the hallway. Your posture was very intimate. Mr. Huo saw it and was very angry, but he didn't tell you."
Hearing this, Jian Mo finally understood. She sneered and looked up, "So you mean to say that he is taking revenge on me?"
"no……"
"When did he return to China? I want to hear the truth."
"..." The secretary was very embarrassed, "Just these two days."
It seems to be earlier than these two days. "What has he been doing since he returned home?"
“…I can’t say that.”
