Stardust in the Moonlight: Little Wildcat, Don't Try to Run Away

Chapter 256 The test is coming

Mo Chen looked at Rongyue calmly, dropped the cigarette from his fingertips to the ground and extinguished it.

Rongyue glanced at the cigarette butt at Mo Chen's feet and knew without asking that he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Where are the children?" Rongyue walked closer to Mo Chen.

"I put them to sleep. Li Xin is here, don't worry."

Rongyue nodded.

"You stood there for so long, what were you thinking about?" Mo Chen took a step closer to Rong Yue and looked down at her.

"Nothing, let's go back." Rongyue turned around.

Mo Chen grabbed Rong Yue's arm.

Rongyue turned around and looked at Mo Chen in confusion.

"Do you hate me so much? You'd rather go out with other men than see me at home!"

Rongyue saw Mo Chen frowning at her. He was clearly questioning her in a strong manner, but she always felt that his eyes were inexplicably sad.

"I'm just out for some socializing...it has nothing to do with whether you're home or not."

"Socializing? Who to socialize with? Gu Jingwen? I can't think of anything you can socialize with him."

"It's just a meal with friends..." Rongyue didn't want to argue with Mo Chen. She tried to use a kind tone and ignore the sharp part in his tone.

"Friend?" Mo Chen interrupted Rong Yue, "I don't remember you being so fond of making friends. He is a friend, and I am also... a friend... So this is how you categorize friends, then are we treated the same here? If I invite you to dinner, will you agree?"

Rongyue felt Mo Chen's hands holding her more and more tightly.

Rongyue pried Mo Chen's hand away and pushed him away. "You already know the answer in your heart. I have explained it to you more than once. Why are you still asking me?"

Mo Chen frowned and looked at the indifferent Rong Yue. He took several deep breaths before calming down the pain that was constantly rising in his heart.

Rongyue looked at Mo Chen's hurt and forbearing expression, which was very different from the him in her memory. The Mo Chen in her memory was always confident and proud, the brightest star in her heart, who had attracted her and led her so much. She longed to have him but was afraid to have him. When she looked up at him, she didn't know if she deserved him. After she got him, she was so cautious that she didn't know how long she could keep him.

Especially after having it and then losing it, the feeling of powerlessness, fear, and unworthiness almost broke her whole body. She couldn't tell anyone about the bitterness and pain. She was not good at complaining, so she could only grit her teeth and endure the pain. As she endured, she found that the wound in her heart did not heal, but was rotten. It was rotten to the point that it naturally stopped hurting. She had no choice but to seal it up. If she didn't want to touch it, it would stop hurting.

Rongyue took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Even if she was in pain, she couldn't bear to see those beautiful eyes that were shining with stars become dim, especially because of her.

"It's late, go back and rest." Rongyue sighed lightly and turned to leave.

"Rongyue... do you think Gu Jingwen is more suitable for you than me?" Mo Chen followed Rongyue and gently held Rongyue.

Rongyue heard that Mo Chen's tone no longer had the toughness from before, and seemed a little powerless.

"Do you think that whenever I get together with men, it is because I want to marry them? Is that how you see me?" Rongyue frowned and looked at Mo Chen.

Mo Chen shook his head. "I just don't want you to do anything irrational to avoid me."

"I am an adult. I have my own judgment on who I want to get along with and to what extent. Besides, you have no right to interfere with me!"

Mo Chen looked at Rongyue, he lowered his head and remained silent for a while.

"Then...how do you judge you and Gu Jingwen?" Mo Chen looked up at Rongyue.

"... "

Rongyue hesitated for a moment. She really felt that she didn't hate getting along with Gu Jingwen. The two of them had topics to talk about, such as oil painting and children. Gu Jingwen was also a mature and calm type... But...

When Mo Chen looked at Rong Yue's silent expression with her eyes lowered, his heart was suddenly hurt.

"In that case, as long as he can stand the test, I will compete with him fairly."

Rong Yue came back to her senses and looked at Mo Chen. "Test? What test?"

"It's not that easy to compete with me..."

Rongyue looked at Mo Chen with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

"What do you want to do! Are you crazy? Even if I want to develop something with him, it's not your turn to test him!"

"I can't get fair treatment from you, so I will clear the obstacles and crush my competitors. I am good at these."

Rongyue looked at Mo Chen's serious expression and was really pissed off by him. "You are threatening me!"

"He is not yours! I am targeting him, so why am I threatening you?"

"You're like this! What's the difference between you and that bastard Wang Lei who forced me to drink?"

Rongyue looked at Mo Chen's still stubborn and determined eyes. She was so angry that she pushed Mo Chen away and quickened her pace towards home.

Mo Chen looked at Rongyue's back.

Rongyue was really pissed off by Mo Chen. She hadn't been angrier in all these years. Every time he came back, she couldn't vent her anger! He got the upper hand every time! Rongyue stopped unwillingly and turned around to point at Mo Chen.

"Gong Yi Mo Chen! You are a bastard!" Rong Yue felt a little relieved after yelling, and turned around and went home.

Although Mo Chen was depressed, looking at Rongyue's final appearance, it seemed that he was not as upset as he was at the beginning.

In fact, after he coaxed the two children to sleep, he stood at the gate of the community waiting for Rongyue. He stood there from dawn until dusk when Rongyue came back. He didn't know how long he stood there or why he had to wait like this, but he just couldn't sit still at home. He was so confused that he had to come out to catch his breath.

Rongyue walked into the house.

"You're back? Where's Mo Chen? Didn't you see him? He went out waiting for you a long time ago." Li Xin sat on the sofa and turned around to look at the angry Rong Yue.

"That bastard will definitely not be lost!" Rongyue didn't even pause, just said this and went into the room, closed the door and went to sleep.

… …

When Rongyue woke up in the morning, she found that the children had already gone to school. Ever since she scolded Mo Chen that day, he had sent the children to school in the morning for the past few days. When she went to pick up the children in the evening, she had not seen Mo Chen come back.

Did he stay at Li Xin's place again? Otherwise, why would he come so early in the morning to send the children to school?

Rongyue shook her head. It was just right that she couldn't see him! Isn't this exactly what she wanted? Out of sight, out of mind!

office.

"Cough... cough cough..." Mo Chen drank some water and suppressed his cough.

Xia Xiluo looked at Mo Chen worriedly.

Mo Chen looked at the draft in his hand and read each article word by word.

Meijia and Taomei looked at each other. Ever since the last elevator incident, they had gone to the Empress to inquire about the news. They knew that Gong Yi Mo Chen wanted to get back together with Rongyue, but Rongyue had not agreed.

"Mr. Gong, we both personally reviewed all the online tweets about Rongyue, so there will be absolutely no problems. We guarantee that there won't even be typos!" Meijia looked at Gong Yi Mochen confidently.

"You are so thoughtful." Mo Chen looked up at Meijia and Tao Meir.

Meijia and Tao Meir looked at the admiring eyes of Gong Yi Mo Chen, and they almost couldn't control their excitement for a moment.

Xu Hao from the entertainment department held up his iPad and said, "Here we go, it's Rongyue."

When Meijia and Taomei heard this, they couldn't help but get close to Xu Hao and watch the award ceremony on the screen. Rongyue just walked up to the podium.

Mo Chen's assistant handed the two iPads to Mo Chen and Li Xin respectively.

Mo Chen took the iPad and looked at Rong Yue on the screen. She was wearing a white cheongsam today, which outlined her figure exquisitely and elegantly. Her hair was tied up, revealing her slender neck, which added to her graceful look.

Rongyue's acceptance speech was brief but sincere. She thanked everyone around her, and her last sentence was engraved directly into Mo Chen's heart.

“…Finally, I want to thank one person. It was because of him that I was able to pick up the paintbrush again. He was once the brightest light in my dark life. I am very grateful that I once had this light.”

"Rongyue, today you not only have a trophy and a certificate, but also a 200 million bonus. What are your plans?"

"Well, I will donate it to the art fund that the school has set up specifically for the art department. I have been sponsored before, so I am doing this in the hope that more art students in need can be helped."

The applause was thunderous and took a long time to subside.

"Ahhhhhhh! How come our Rongyue is so beautiful!" Tao Meier said excitedly with starry eyes, "How does the poem say it! The person by the Lu River is like the moon, with white wrists covered with frost and snow! Isn't this talking about our Rongyue!"

"Our Rongyue is not only beautiful, but also has a beautiful heart. She donated 200 million just like that! She is so beautiful and cool!" Meijia exclaimed.

"Okay, I think it would be best if I could just write these words of praise from you two directly into the manuscript! Just express your true feelings!" Xu Hao smiled as he looked at Meijia and Tao Meir.

"In my eyes, Rongyue has been buried for many years. If her painting video had not been forcibly removed by President Li a few years ago, Rongyue would have become famous long ago!" Xu Hao said with emotion.

"Yeah! Even though it was forcibly removed from the shelves, there are still many people privately sharing the video! Lu Dan even said at the time that Rong Yue was the new otaku goddess in their programmer circle!"

"Cough... cough..." Mo Chen looked at Rongyue, who was chatting and laughing gracefully on the screen. He smiled and drank a sip of water to suppress the burning pain in his throat.

Meijia kicked Taomei secretly, and Taomei realized that it was really stupid to say in front of Gong Yi and Mo Chen that Rongyue had become the object of another man's fantasy.

Tao Mei'er looked at Mo Chen, and quickly looked at Li Xin for help.

Li Xin couldn't help laughing when he saw Meijia and Tao Mei'er. He looked at Mo Chen and said, "If there is no objection to the manuscript, let them arrange for its distribution."

"Well, go ahead. Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Mo Chen put down the iPad in his hand and looked at everyone else.

After receiving the instructions, everyone happily left the office and went to work.

Xia Xiluo looked at Mo Chen and listened to the discussion of others. She suppressed the bitterness and jealousy in her heart. Gong Yi and Mo Chen were determined to make Nangong Rongyue famous. The most important task of Gong Yi Group's Internet Marketing Department and even the Entertainment Department in the past month was to plan positive press releases about Nangong Rongyue, and every article was personally reviewed by Mo Chen and Li Xin. Almost everyone in the company understood Gong Yi and Mo Chen's intentions, so they were more proactive and came up with more ideas for this task.

Xia Xiluo loosened his clenched fists and said, "Mo Chen, you don't look well. How did you suddenly get sick? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"He is suffering from internal heat and anger! The hospital can cure diseases, but can it stop the love-brain from going crazy? It is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause! What effect can it have if it ignores the root cause and focuses on the superficial things?" Li Xin looked at Mo Chen with a smile.

Xia Xiluo listened to Li Xin's words, thinking about the meaning behind them, and felt as if her heart was on fire.

Mo Chen stood up and his vision went dark for a moment. He reached out and pressed the table to prevent himself from falling back into the chair.

Li Xin put away his smile, stood up and walked to Mo Chen, then reached out and touched Mo Chen's forehead.

"Why is the fever so severe?"
