Chapter 89: Chapter 84: It’s Cold Enough to Die, A Cure for Tough Talk

Chen Mo pointed at the flesh-colored stockings she had tossed aside, said something with a smile, and then went into the bathroom.

"What do you mean, ’to keep warm’..."

Both annoyed and amused, Pan Kejia shot him a look.

’As if I don’t know Chen Mo’s little preferences.’

’After every meeting at our usual spot, have my stockings ever come out unscathed?’

Two and a half minutes later, Chen Mo came out of the bathroom.

Without another word, Chen Mo swept her into his arms and lowered his head to capture her ruby lips.

Then, they quickly got on the highway.

He floored the gas pedal, putting Pan Kejia through a grueling session.

Pan Kejia, in turn, thoughtfully drew him a map to make sure he didn’t get lost.

During the intense drive, Chen Mo and Pan Kejia started talking about buying shares.

Chen Mo very generously let her buy in, even giving her an investment worth over a hundred million.

After a round of aggressive driving, the two pulled into a rest stop.

Pan Kejia lay languidly in the crook of Chen Mo’s arm, her whole being feeling clear and refreshed again.

"Why were you so obedient today? I sent you one WeChat message and you came right over. Didn’t even play hard to get for a bit?"

Chen Mo asked with a smile, gently stroking her soft, silky hair.

"I saw the video of you on a date with her at the mall."

Pan Kejia said haltingly, her breathing still slightly ragged.

"?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow. ’How did she see that?’

"I’ve been watching a lot of videos about Ai Yikun lately. One of them was shot by a fan, and you and she happened to be in the frame."

Pan Kejia explained weakly.

’It wasn’t just that she saw Chen Mo and Xia Shiqing on a date.’

’She also saw what Xia Shiqing was wearing—Valentino Rockstud heels with flesh-colored stockings!’

’That outfit was clearly aimed at Chen Mo. Of course I had to find a chance to run a one-on-one defense on him.’

’Otherwise, wouldn’t all of Chen Mo’s ’investment’ go to Xia Shiqing?’

’It just so happened that Chen Mo messaged her, so she couldn’t afford to be stubborn and came right away.’

’When she arrived and Chen Mo was nowhere to be seen, she was genuinely afraid he’d gone to find Xia Shiqing instead.’

"You have the Eyes of Golden Flame."

Chen Mo was a little speechless. It couldn’t have been easy to spot him and Xia Shiqing in a crowd.

"One is my boyfriend, and the other is my lifelong rival. How could I not see you?"

Pan Kejia also found it a bit magical. There were many people in that video, but her eyes locked onto Chen Mo and Xia Shiqing instantly.

Hearing this, Chen Mo just smiled and shook his head.

"I heard your company bought shares in Hongyin Jingtong?"

Chen Mo patted her head as he brought it up.

"Mhm, we bought some. Didn’t he win an award at the ceremony? They’re probably planning to increase the position on Monday."

Pan Kejia said languidly, the flush on her charming face yet to fade.

"Don’t add more. Liquidate the position if you can."

Chen Mo thought for a moment and gave her a suggestion.

He felt that aside from being a little stubborn, Pan Kejia suited his tastes in every other way.

’Of course, being stubborn isn’t a flaw.’

’Especially the contrast when, after he puts her through an intense session, she admits defeat and calls him Daddy. It actually makes him like her stubbornness more.’

’The more stubborn she is, the greater the thrill of contrast when she finally gives in and calls him Daddy.’

That’s why he decided to give her this opportunity. It was up to her whether she would seize it.

Pan Kejia had been languidly savoring that feeling of utter clarity with her eyes closed.

"Huh? Liquidate?"

Hearing Chen Mo’s words, her eyes flew wide open in surprise.

Anyone with eyes could see that Hongyin Jingtong was about to surge. Everyone was scrambling to increase their positions.

’Yet Chen Mo was suggesting they liquidate?’

"I’m just putting it out there. You can just listen. Believe it if you want, but it’s fine if you don’t."

Chen Mo didn’t elaborate. Before Ai Yikun’s scandal broke, it was better not to say too much.

’Anyway, Pan Kejia would definitely understand his meaning. Whether she believed him or not was her business.’

’If it were Xia Shiqing who heard his suggestion to liquidate Hongyin Jingtong, she wouldn’t question it for a second.’

’She would trust him one hundred percent and act on his advice.’

’As for Pan Kejia, he didn’t know what she would choose.’

"Do you know something?"

Pan Kejia leaned over Chen Mo, looking at him with eyes full of curiosity and suspicion.

"I don’t know anything."

Chen Mo’s hand casually advanced upon her highlands as he smiled and shook his head.

"So stingy."

Pan Kejia pouted and muttered under her breath.

She even gave his misbehaving arm a light tap with her fist.

"Since you’ve said so, I’ll definitely do as you say. I’ll bring it up at work tomorrow."

Although Pan Kejia was muttering, deep down, she believed Chen Mo.

After all, Chen Mo had shorted Ruilin Innovation just a few days ago, right before the news broke, which made him seem very formidable and mysterious in her eyes.

’Perhaps Chen Mo’s words were the complete opposite of what everyone else believed.’

’But she would feel that everyone else was wrong, and Chen Mo was right.’

"You’re just a junior employee. What good will you bringing it up do?"

Chen Mo teased, pinching her delicate nose.

"I may be a junior employee, but my dad isn’t!"

Pan Kejia flared up at once, shooting him a glare.

Her dad was a partner at the firm. She had the confidence to bring this up.

"That ’dad’ of yours can’t even get you a full-time spot."

Chen Mo said, looking at her meaningfully.

Hearing this, Pan Kejia froze for a second.

She quickly realized what Chen Mo meant, and her charming face instantly flushed crimson.

"I was talking about my actual father, you bastard!"

Mortified, she opened her delicate mouth, bit his arm, and glared at him coquettishly.

Hearing Chen Mo tease her like this, she almost regretted calling him Daddy.

"Oh, I thought you were talking about me."

The corners of Chen Mo’s mouth lifted as he looked at her with an amused gaze.

Pan Kejia didn’t even want to look at him anymore. ’Men and their little hobbies.’

"Hmph, even if I’m a junior employee, your dear Sister Shiqing isn’t."

A thought suddenly occurred to her, and her enthusiasm waned as she spoke.

’Since Chen Mo gave this advice to me, he’ll definitely tell Xia Shiqing too.’

’Xia Shiqing is the deputy head of the proprietary trading department. Her words carry weight.’

’Although she didn’t want to admit it, she really couldn’t compare to Xia Shiqing at all.’

"If you’re the only two at your company supporting the liquidation, won’t you become famous along with her?"

"If it really brings profits to the company, won’t you get a share of the performance credit?"

Chen Mo couldn’t help but find it funny. Every time Xia Shiqing was mentioned, Pan Kejia would get sour.

Even her most basic judgment and reasoning skills would temporarily go offline.

Hearing this, Pan Kejia paused for a moment, her ability to think coming back online.

’Chen Mo was right. No matter what, she’d get a piece of it.’

"You really are a master at keeping things balanced."

Her stubborn streak was back online.

"Think I’m trying too hard to be fair? Fine, next time I’ll only tell her and leave you out of it."

The corners of Chen Mo’s mouth lifted. He specialized in curing this stubbornness of hers.

"You!"

Pan Kejia was so angry she wanted to bite his arm again.

"Are you part dog or something?"

Chen Mo pinned her down, preparing to give her another imported investment worth hundreds of millions.

’This stubbornness of hers really needs to be cured!’

...

「The next morning.」

Chen Mo and Pan Kejia took the elevator down to the hotel lobby together.

As Pan Kejia used the key card to check out, Chen Mo walked over.

"I’m going to leave a car key at your front desk. Someone will be coming by to pick it up later."

Chen Mo placed his car key on the counter and spoke to the front desk staff.

Manager Zhou had just sent him a WeChat message saying he would send someone to pick up the car right away.

"Of course, sir."

The receptionist took the key, and upon seeing the iconic shield logo on it, carefully put it away.

"What’s wrong with your car?"

Seeing him leave the key at the front desk, Pan Kejia gave him a curious glance.

"Got it scraped a bit. Someone from the dealership is coming to drive it over and get it fixed."

"Then let me give you a ride home."

Pan Kejia said without a second thought, linking her arm with his.

"Alright, thanks."

Chen Mo gave her a surprised look, then smiled and nodded.

’Looks like Pan Kejia can’t stay stubborn for long after all.’

After dropping Chen Mo off at the entrance to his residential complex, Pan Kejia drove straight to her office for work.

While waiting at a red light, a thoughtful look flashed through Pan Kejia’s eyes.

She replayed the events from last night to this morning.

’First, a single WeChat message from Chen Mo had her scurrying over to the hotel, where she even took the initiative to book the room.’

’She even specifically got a standard room with a separate shower and toilet.’

’Then this morning, she proactively offered to drive Chen Mo home.’

’Doesn’t all this make her seem like a total simp?’

’Is this still Pan Kejia?’
