Chapter 164: 164 Gorgeous Red (Chapter Four)

Although Zhou Xunian said he couldn’t enter Mo Zhixuan’s office himself, Zheng Chuyi did not believe this superstition.

How could she possibly be unable to enter his office!

As Zheng Chuyi strode forward and was about to push the door open, she ran into an invisible white barrier.

With a ’bang,’ Zheng Chuyi was violently bounced back by the barrier, which carried an overwhelming pressure.

She braced herself with one hand on the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her face filled with frustration.

Slowly climbing up from the ground, Zheng Chuyi spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

When she emerged from the elevator again, she was still that high and mighty peerless beauty.

Today, she had to find Mo Zhixuan.

**

In the afternoon, Zhao Yiling met with Mo Qianjue at the Western restaurant on time.

By the time Mo Qianjue arrived, Zhao Yiling was already sitting by the window, waiting for him.

For the meeting with Mo Qianjue, Zhao Yiling had specifically changed into a bright red dress.

Her exquisite figure wrapped in a sweep of red fabric, paired with her delicate makeup, made her radiate charm and allure.

Looking at the figure in red, Mo Qianjue suddenly felt that the girl before him was somewhat unfamiliar.

The girl he saw now seemed to be drifting further away from the memory of that pure and clear figure in white shirt and black pants.

The arrival of Mo Qianjue undoubtedly caused another sensation in the Western restaurant, as all eyes followed his footsteps, shifting little by little.

His face was even more stunning than a woman’s.

Even Zhao Yiling was once again captivated by Mo Qianjue’s breathtaking beauty.

"I’m sorry, Miss Zhao, I’m late," Mo Qianjue said as he pulled out a chair and sat directly across from Zhao Yiling.

Hearing the voice by her ear, Zhao Yiling quickly came back to her senses and smiled gently, "It’s me who arrived early."

"Does Miss Zhao particularly like red?" Mo Qianjue’s gaze was deep, making it impossible to discern his true emotions.

In any case, seeing Zhao Yiling again this time, Mo Qianjue felt that something was not quite right.

He just felt that the bright red she was wearing seemed too glaring to the eye.

Zhao Yiling didn’t know why he would ask such a question, her beautiful eyes flickered as she weighed her words and then replied, "I wouldn’t say like, I don’t pay much attention to dressing up usually. As long as the clothes are wearable, the color is not important."

Zhao Yiling’s words were natural, leaving no room for doubt.

"Miss Zhao is indeed a transparent person," Mo Qianjue smiled subtly, then added, "By the way, I wonder if you still like the necklace Mo gave you last time."

Zhao Yiling, of course, caught the probing in Mo Qianjue’s words.

She looked puzzled and said with some surprise, "What necklace? Wasn’t it a piece of Spirit Jade? Speaking of which, it was a kind of fate to meet President Mo that day. The Spirit Jade you gifted is too precious, I really feel undeserving..."

Mo Qianjue’s underlying suspicions were gradually alleviated, and he chuckled, "It’s just an ordinary item. Besides, is my life Mo worth less than a jade pendant? Rest assured and keep it."

Mo Qianjue continued.

"By the way, Miss Zhao haven’t dined yet, have you? What would you like to eat? Today, it’s my treat."

Zhao Yiling reached out and took the menu Mo Qianjue handed her, "Since that’s the case, I am obliged to take up the offer."

The two were conversing and laughing.

"Daddy!" A clear childlike voice suddenly rang through the atmospheric cafe.

Mo Qianjue instinctively glanced towards the entrance.

He saw a delicate little girl riding on the back of a giant black dog, and just as they seemed to be entering, they were stopped by the restaurant’s waiter.

The waiter smiled sweetly and said, "Little girl, pets are not allowed inside."

"Okay then, I got it, sister," the little loli grumbled as she climbed down from the dog known as Bread, patting Bread’s head, "You wait here for me, I’m going to find Daddy inside."

As she was passing by just then, she noticed that Daddy had also gone in, and most importantly, she saw Daddy sitting with a woman.

And, she knew that woman!

"Daddy, is it really you?" the little loli hastened her short legs as she ran toward Mo Qianjue.

Mo Qianjue reached out his hand to hold the little loli on his lap and introduced her to Zhao Yiling, "Allow me to introduce you to my daughter, Mo Pengpeng."

Zhao Yiling’s expression changed slightly upon seeing the little loli in front of her, but she quickly regained her composure.

She had not expected the child she had found annoying last night to be Mo Qianjue’s daughter!

Nor had she expected that Mo Qianjue already had a daughter!

Although she had never considered being with Mo Qianjue, the knowledge that he already had a daughter was something she found hard to accept.

What concerned her even more was how that useless person got to know Mo Qianjue’s daughter.

And their relationship seemed so close.

A sense of crisis started to emanate from the bottom of her heart.

She knew that the current situation was very unfavorable for her!

A friendly smile appeared on Zhao Yiling’s face as she said to the little loli, "Hello, Pengpeng, I’m Zhao Yiling, a good friend of your daddy’s."

Her voice was gentle and melodious, as if she really liked the little loli, which starkly contrasted her demeanor from the previous night—it was like night and day.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, what an act!

The little loli humphed dissatisfiedly, turned her head into Mo Qianjue’s embrace, ignoring Zhao Yiling’s greeting.

"Daddy! Why are you with this bad auntie?" she said, extremely unhappy.

How could Daddy know such a bad auntie!

Zhao Yiling’s face stiffened; she had not expected the little loli to be so blunt, nor had she expected to be remembered from just a fleeting glance the previous night!

However, it was just a child, and she hadn’t taken her seriously yet.

The expression on Mo Qianjue’s face was also not very pleasant, his gaze darkening as he scolded, "Pengpeng, didn’t your teacher teach you to be polite to little friends? How can you talk to Daddy’s friend like that? Apologize to the auntie right now!"

"It’s alright, it’s alright," Zhao Yiling said with a curved lip, appearing very understanding, "No need to apologize, children speak their mind without knowing, I’m not offended, Mr. Mo doesn’t have to take it seriously either."

Seeing Zhao Yiling’s gentle and sensible response, Mo Qianjue felt even more remorseful, and said severely to the little loli, "Mo Pengpeng, apologize to auntie this instant."

"She’s bad to begin with!" The little loli pouted her small mouth, complaining, "I’ll tell you, she is a bad auntie, she not only falsely accused a bread dog of being unable to change its habit of eating poop, but she also said I had lots of germs on me and didn’t even let me get close to her! Daddy, how can you sit with such an auntie, you’ve disappointed me so much!"

Listening to the little loli’s words, Mo Qianjue’s gaze deepened. Although Pengpeng was usually quite willful, she could discern right from wrong and wouldn’t target someone for no reason!

Unless Zhao Yiling really did offend her somehow.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made such baseless accusations.

Seeing Mo Qianjue’s reaction, Zhao Yiling started to feel a bit panicked inside. Her beautiful eyes flickered, and she quickly came up with a plan.

"Pengpeng, I know you have a good relationship with Sister Jin," Zhao Yiling said, with a look of grievance, very emotionally, "but even if you’re close with her, you can’t slander me like this, she stole my bracelet, and I haven’t held it against her, I only scolded her a bit, I know you want to seek justice for Sister Jin, but she was in the wrong to begin with...."

"You’re talking nonsense!" The little loli was about to explode with anger, pointing at Zhao Yiling and accusing, "When did my Brother Jin steal your bracelet! You bad auntie!"

This auntie really knows how to twist the truth; she couldn’t fathom how her daddy could know such a person!

Mo Qianjue, listening to the two of them, was beginning to understand something.

Moreover, Mo Qianjue noticed that the red Blood Jade Bracelet which used to be on Zhao Yiling’s wrist was indeed gone.

Such a treasure couldn’t just be lost like that.

The Brother Jin mentioned by the little loli and the Sister Jin referred to by Zhao Yiling were likely the same person.

Considering the little loli’s deep affection for that girl, it wasn’t impossible for her to slander Zhao Yiling on her behalf.

After all, children are gullible, and that girl’s intelligence was so high.

But from his observation that day, that girl didn’t seem to be the type who would commit theft for personal gain.

However, as far as he knew, Zhao Yiling was an only child at home, without a sister.

If there was to be a sister, it would only be the Chu family’s daughter who had been living in the Zhao family for years.

Could that girl be Chu Jin?

The legendary waste!?

How could a waste have such grace and wisdom, dressed in white with fluttering black hair...

Mo Qianjue narrowed his eyes slightly, as something crucial flickered through his mind.
