Chapter 46: The Fall of the Male God
Chapter 46: The Fall of the Male God
Winter nights come early; it's already dusk by 5 p.m.
On the busy road, a car was driving slowly.
Mo Xunhuan sat in the passenger seat, while Lu Qingqing played around in the back. Lan Ruoxin focused on driving, glancing at the rearview mirror from time to time to observe Lu Qingqing in the back.
Do you regret it?
"What?"
"Marry her."
Mo Xunhuan turned to look at Lan Ruoxin, then turned back to look ahead, raised his hand and patted his thigh, "Why ask such a question? I've said it many times, Xiaoxue and I are truly in love, there's no such thing as regret."
"True love?" Lan Ruoxin chuckled lightly, her laughter filled with sarcasm and disdain.
"Back in high school, when you and she got together, everyone thought it was impossible for you two, including me. But after seeing you two together for so long, even I have to believe that there might really be true love between you two."
"If that's the case, why are you asking me? Don't you already have the answer?" Mo Xunhuan asked, puzzled.
"The answer? Yes, the answer!" Lan Ruoxin muttered to herself, tapping her fingers on the steering wheel, her eyes gazing unfocused at the road ahead and the lingering afterglow on the horizon, her heart filled with melancholy.
"I had already believed the answer, but... I had to see it with my own eyes, witness that unknown side of you, that heartbreaking yet enviable scene..."
This sorrowful voice resonated deeply with Mo Xunhuan, causing him to feel down. He turned to look out the window at the towering buildings and the sea of people.
"This is... life!"
Back in the neighborhood, Mo Xunhuan knocked on his neighbor's door. The person who opened the door was Lin Yun'er, dressed in JK uniform, with her hair in pigtails. She was young, beautiful, and radiated youthful energy.
"Brother Xunhuan!" Lin Yoona's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Mo Xunhuan, and she excitedly came over.
"Yun'er, I have something to do tonight and need to go out. I'd like to ask you to take care of me, is that alright?" Mo Xunhuan asked.
"Yes, of course, you can leave Qingqing to me." Lin Yoona agreed without hesitation.
"Thank you, please come to our house for a nice meal another day." Mo Xunhuan thanked her, then bent down to give her daughter a few more instructions before leaving with Lan Ruoxin.
Back in the car, the atmosphere became unusually calm, with Mo Xunhuan staring coldly ahead.
"Where do we go now?"
"Hotel or my place, it's up to you~" Lan Ruoxin turned to the side, supporting her forehead with one hand as she looked at him.
"Then let's go to your place. The hotel information is on our records," Mo Xunhuan said.
Lan Ruoxin chuckled lightly and said meaningfully, "Looks like you know quite a bit; you must have been there quite a few times!"
Mo Xunhuan: …………
At Qinghang Company, it was almost time to leave work, but Lu Xiaoxue's desk was piled high with documents, keeping her extremely busy.
"Oh dear, I'm so busy. I'm afraid I'll be working very late again today. I should call my husband to remind him!" Looking at the time, Lu Xiaoxue took out her phone and was about to dial Mo Xunhuan's number.
Just then, his phone rang; it was Mo Xunhuan's number.
"Huh? Is it that urgent?" Lu Xiaoxue answered the phone with a puzzled look.
"Hey, honey, I'm here tonight..."
"I have something to do tonight, so I might not be back until very late," Mo Xunhuan said first.
Lu Xiaoxue on the other end was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly, "Uh... it's okay, I'm also very busy today, and I won't be able to go back until very late."
"Oh, I see. That's good then... Uh, I mean, it's okay, work is the most important thing, just do your job well."
"Oh, you too. Head home early!"
I'll try my best!
After hanging up the phone, Mo Xunhuan breathed a sigh of relief, opened the car door, got out of the car, and stood at the entrance of the villa.
"Come in!" Lan Ruoxin stepped forward and opened the door, inviting him in a ladylike manner.
Mo Xunhuan took a step forward.
In the living room, Mo Xunhuan sat on the sofa, his hands clasped together, staring blankly at the unlit television.
"Have some coffee!" At this moment, Lan Ruoxin walked over, carrying two steaming cups of coffee.
"Thank you." Mo Xunhuan took the coffee, took a sip, and placed it on the table.
Lan Ruoxin leaned against the sofa, legs crossed, in a languid and elegant posture, gazing at Mo Xunhuan with an admiring look, slowly stirring her coffee with a spoon.
To be honest, in my heart you have always been a noble and pure god, someone to be admired from afar but not to be trifled with. Even though I like you deeply, I don't dare to get too close to you, and I don't want to disturb your life.
"So why have you changed your mind again? It's like you've become a different person." Mo Xunhuan asked.
"Changed?" Lan Ruoxin took a deep breath, looked up at the crystal chandelier above her, and said with a melancholy tone, "I don't know either. Did you change, or did I change?"
"What?"
Lan Ruoxin picked up her phone, opened the photo album, played a video, and handed the phone to Mo Xunhuan.
When Mo Xunhuan took the phone and looked at it, his expression changed drastically. He looked up at her abruptly and exclaimed, "You actually took pictures of me without my permission?"
"Is the point about being secretly filmed? It's that you clearly have a family, a wife, and children, yet..." By the end, Lan Ruoxin was so angry that she gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with rage and resentment, and slammed her coffee cup heavily on the table.
"I really don't understand what you're thinking. You're clearly not that kind of man. If you were, you shouldn't be with Lu Xiaoxue. Why are you with Su Qi? Could it be that you've been pretending all along, and your private life has always been chaotic? Have I just not noticed?"
Faced with Lan Ruoxin's suspicions and speculations, Mo Xunhuan remained silent, quietly watching the video on his phone without saying a word.
His silence seemed to Lan Ruoxin more like an admission of guilt. Unable to accept that her idol was lewd by nature, she angrily stepped forward and snatched the phone from Mo Xunhuan's hand.
"I'm asking you a question! What exactly happened? Tell me!"
Mo Xunhuan looked up at her and said, "What else could it be? It's exactly what you think. I'm the kind of man you imagine—a gentleman on the surface, but actually a licentious scoundrel. A hypocrite pretending to be virtuous, that's me."
"I don't believe you, you're lying to me!" Lan Ruoxin angrily slammed her phone on the table, then pounced on Mo Xunhuan on the sofa, frantically tearing at his clothes and burying her face in his chest, kissing him fiercely to vent her anger.
However, as they kissed, she buried her face in Mo Xunhuan's arms and began to cry, making sobbing sounds.
After calming down, she stood up again and looked at Mo Xunhuan with a cold expression.
"My feelings have lingered with you for too long. Tonight... it's time to end this!"
