"Why?!" Lu Jin Xiao and Jing Mo Chen both shouted.
Yan Chu didn"t know how to explain it to them, so he decided to leave this problem to Mo Xi, "You will know why in the future."
"What about you? Do you like her as well?" Yan Chu threw the question to Lu Jin Xiao.
"No. I only want to thank her for saving us five years ago and I saw clearly how many times she was. .h.i.t. Although not much visible injuries were seen, I was sure she suffered many internal injuries. I fought with those people before, so I know how much force they used. Moreover, she took a few bullets for us and she even performed surgery for Mo Chen after all those people were caught. Other doctors said that the surgery done was perfect, so it must have taken her a lot of will power to pull through the surgery. Without her, Mo Chen would either be crippled or dead. Mo Ling would also have suffered from psychological trauma, the others and I would also have died. I don"t know how but after she and her people touched our hands, all the hits we took didn"t hurt as much and the bullets also magically slowed a lot before it hit us." Lu Jin Xiao said painfully, he could still remember how serious it was then.
"How is she doing?" Jing Mo Chen asked painfully as he thought back.
As Yan Chu listened to Lu Jin Xiao and Jing Mo Chen, he went back into memories as well and forgot that Mo Xi was around, "Hu... She did suffer internal injuries then. The moment she finished Mo Chen"s surgery and left you all, she staggered out and fainted after she vomited blood. Her people and I were all fl.u.s.tered, we were going to bring her back into the hospital when she woke up again and said that she wants to go back to Country Y immediately. At that moment the first thought that flashed our mind was to open up her head and see what is inside. The second was to knock her out. However, none of us could win her, so we flew her back to Country Y and she spent these few years recovering. The most annoying thing is that she still worked twenty-four-seven, that is why even after so long she had yet to recover fully. She knew that she could have recovered earlier if she rests well but she didn"t. Dammit! I really want to knock her out and make her sleep for a year. The more that I think about it, the angrier I get!"
The three men sat there quietly and eventually Jing Mo Chen drank the alcohol as well.
In the other room.
Mo Xi was preparing the things needed for the new company when she heard what Jing Mo Chen said. Her hands stopped mid-air while she was typing, and her eyes widen. Waves of emotion flood through her: happiness, sadness, loneliness, eagerness, and confusion. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she shook her head again and blinked them away. She tried very hard to concentrate on her work again and shut out whatever they were talking about. However, with her scarily sensitive hearing, she heard everything they said clearly. Eventually, more tears rolled down. This was the first time since Father Mu"s death. She didn"t even cry back then when she almost died.
Yan Chu, Lu Jin Xiao, and Jing Mo Chen are all special guests of M & M Hotel, that meant that they all held the blue card Mo Xi had. That was why she wasn"t worried when she knew that the three of them would end up drinking even though she had already told Yan Chu to not let Jing Mo Chen drink.
"Bring them to their room."
Mo Xi told Yan Chu"s a.s.sistants, Cheng Yu, and Feng Ning to bring Yan Chu and Lu Jin Xiao back to their room. For VIPs, the hotel allows the use of fingerprints to access the lifts and their rooms, hence Mo Xi didn"t bother whether they brought their cards.
Mo Xi looked at Jing Mo Chen who was lying with his head down on the table, her heart fluttered once again, and it hurt a little. She placed Jing Mo Chen"s arms around her neck while her hand went around his waist to lift him.
Mo Xi used her other hand to scan her card and they went into the lift.
"Mo Xi... Where are you..." Jing Mo Chen mumbled a few times subconsciously.
Once Mo Xi entered Jing Mo Chen"s room, Jing Mo Chen suddenly pulled Mo Xi into his arms.
"Mo Xi... You are back..." Jing Mo Chen held Mo Xi tight in his arms. Jing Mo Chen didn"t open his eyes to look at Mo Xi as he was still drunk and unconscious, but from the scent, he subconsciously believed that the one in his arms was Mo Xi. To Jing Mo Chen, even if it was just a dream, he still wanted to meet Mo Xi again.
Mo Xi was shocked for a moment, she knew that Jing Mo Chen was drunk and wouldn"t know that she was really there, so she just stood there and let him hug her. There were many times when she wanted to hug him back, but she didn"t.
After Jing Mo Chen fell asleep, she placed him on the bed properly and went back to her room.
"Push back the meeting to tomorrow night, Yan Chu is drunk," Mo Xi said in French.
"Ok. Will you be attending the anniversary event this year? Mum and dad really hope that you can come this year because you have never attended our anniversary."
"I will."
"Ok, I will tell mum and dad about it. We will get everything ready before the anniversary."
Mo Xi ended the call and went back to work. The lights only went out four hours later at three midnight.
