Chapter 45: Lan Ruoxin's Threat
Chapter 45: Lan Ruoxin's Threat
"Wow, that's incredibly fast! Even faster than those women!"
The onlookers were astonished to see Mo Xunhuan, who was far ahead of the other women. No one expected that the seemingly weak and powerless handsome man would have such a powerful physique.
Finally, after several rounds of competition, all the parents finished their competitions, and the results were announced.
To everyone's surprise, the first place winner was Mo Xunhuan and his daughter.
"Let's give a round of applause to congratulate Lu Qingqing and her father on winning first place!"
As the teacher announced the rankings, everyone present burst into enthusiastic applause.
"That's amazing, Dad! You're so incredible!" Lu Qingqing cheered excitedly as Mo Xunhuan picked her up and tossed her into the air.
At noon, the parents accompanied their children to lunch. Several tables were gathered in the center of the classroom, with a sumptuous lunch laid out on them, including a large turkey in the middle.
When Lin Yue returned from the bathroom, she found that only Lu Qingqing was with her daughter, but Mo Xunhuan was nowhere to be seen.
"Qingqing, where's your father?"
"Dad went out on something and left me to eat alone," Lu Qingqing said, looking up as she ate her meal.
Meanwhile, at the principal's office door, Mo Xunhuan raised his hand and knocked.
"Please come in!"
As he pushed open the door, he saw Lan Ruoxin still sitting in front of the computer, working diligently.
"Lock the door from the inside!" Mo Xunhuan had just closed the door when he heard Lan Ruoxin's instruction.
"Ah, locked from the inside?" Mo Xunhuan was slightly taken aback, but didn't hesitate much. After all, he often locked the door when giving massages, so he locked the door from the inside as well.
"Did you need something from me, Ruoxin?" Mo Xunhuan walked to the desk.
"You've worked hard these past two days. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day have been very busy. You even accompanied me on a shopping trip before. Thank you for your help." As she spoke, Lan Ruoxin took a red envelope from the drawer and placed it on the table.
Upon seeing the red envelope, Mo Xunhuan immediately understood what the other party meant and quickly refused, saying, "No, Ruoxin, there's no need for this. It's only right that I do these things, and besides, the fact that you let me work here has already been a great help to me. There's really no need to give me this."
Lan Ruoxin released the mouse, looked up and smiled slightly, picked up the red envelope and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse, this isn't just for you, everyone gets one."
"Ah, everyone... has one?" Mo Xunhuan stood there dumbfounded, staring at the red envelope in her hand, at a loss for what to do.
"What are you standing there for? Take it!" Lan Ruoxin shook the red envelope and reminded her.
"Oh, thank you." Mo Xunhuan took the red envelope a beat late, bowed to thank him, and turned to leave.
"Wait, don't rush off!"
"Is there anything else?" Mo Xunhuan turned around and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Lan Ruoxin stood up, put on her gold-rimmed glasses, and strolled over to Mo Xunhuan. Then... she approached him step by step until the distance between them had crossed the line, causing Mo Xunhuan to instinctively back away.
"Ruoxin?"
Forced back to the desk until he had nowhere to retreat, Mo Xunhuan was forced to stop, a hint of tension showing in his eyes.
"What's wrong? You look... a little nervous?" Lan Ruoxin stopped, reached out and lifted his chin, staring straight at him.
His usually gentle gaze now held a hint of assertiveness, an aura of authority that made Mo Xunhuan feel somewhat unfamiliar with him.
Although Lan Ruoxin usually appears somewhat serious in front of others, she has never been like that with him. There's always a feeling that the other person seems to know something.
"I'm just a little unaccustomed to... the way your eyes look at me today... feels different from how they usually do," Mo Xunhuan explained.
"Really? Does that make you feel pressured, or do you not like me like this?" Lan Ruoxin leaned forward again, almost touching Mo Xunhuan.
Feeling the intense sensation on his chest, Mo Xunhuan couldn't help but feel a surge of desire, while also experiencing a sense of crisis. He subconsciously grabbed the other person's wrist.
"No, you're too close!" Mo Xunhuan subconsciously avoided her gaze and looked away.
Upon hearing this, Lan Ruoxin was immediately filled with rage. She gripped Mo Xunhuan's hand even tighter, her eyes blazing with fury.
"What did you say? Close? Is this close? If this is too close, then what about her?"
Faced with Lan Ruoxin's questioning, Mo Xunhuan was completely bewildered. "Her? Who are you talking about, Xiaoxue?"
Lan Ruoxin didn't say anything, she just kept staring at him, and gripped his hand tighter and tighter, until Mo Xunhuan's wrist gradually turned red.
"No, Xiaoxue is my wife. Shouldn't I be close to her? You're usually fine, so why are you acting like this today? You've made things difficult for her..." Mo Xunhuan stopped midway through his sentence.
However, even though he didn't say it aloud, Lan Ruoxin knew who he was talking about, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
"You know who I'm talking about," Lan Ruoxin whispered coldly in his ear.
What? Mo Xunhuan's eyes widened, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Did she find out? Impossible, how could she possibly find out? She always...
Seeing Mo Xunhuan's panicked eyes, Lan Ruoxin revealed a bitter smile that was neither a smile nor a smile. She gently stroked his face with her jade hand, which eventually slid down to his lips.
"To be honest, I'm really disappointed in you! I had already given up, but you still made this mistake, and I even found out."
"I..." Mo Xunhuan tried to explain, but the other person put a finger to his lips, stopping him from speaking.
"You don't need to rush to explain. We can talk about it tonight. I'll give you plenty of time to explain slowly."
"tonight?"
"That's right!" Lan Ruoxin's lips curled slightly as she leaned in and lightly kissed Mo Xunhuan's lips before slowly pulling away, her eyes full of provocation.
"Tonight is Christmas, and it's no fun spending it alone. I need someone to keep me company. If you don't want others to know about your situation, you should know what to do!"
Hearing the threat in those words, Mo Xunhuan couldn't believe it. The class monitor, whom she remembered as gentle, kind, elegant, and ladylike, was actually threatening her?
"Are you serious? Ruoxin, are you threatening me?"
Seeing the shock and disappointment in Mo Xunhuan's eyes, Lan Ruoxin was also conflicted. She didn't want to be such a shameless person, but when she thought about the scene last night and how Su Qi was able to succeed, she felt very unwilling.
"That's right, I'm threatening you, so what?" Lan Ruoxin shouted at Mo Xunhuan for the first time ever.
Such an elegant and charming woman was now like a tigress who had lost her temper, raging and roaring at the person she secretly loved.
Mo Xunhuan bit her lip tightly, nodded with disappointment, and said, "Fine, I promise!"
