Chapter 113: Sudden Bout of Jealousy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There was no response from the other end of the line for a long time. However, just as Ji Sichen was about to speak, Mo Jiangye abruptly ended the call.

The call had just been hung up when he received a call from that person again.

His thin lips were pursed into a tight, cold line, and his eyes turned dark and cold at the sight of the displayed name: Senior Ji.

Senior?

His raging fury had him ending the call right away, but the persistent caller rang back immediately, so he continued to hang up the call. By now, a surging ball of anger was contained within him.

The phone finally went silent after Ji Sichen relentlessly made five calls in a row to no avail.

That did not stop the enraged man from staring at the phone, though. The moment the phone rang on his end, he would end the call immediately. His bloodshot eyes made him appear as though he was on a killing spree.

It was only after he noticed that the phone had gone silent for some time that he gradually relaxed his uptight state.

[ Ye Erruo, give me a call or reply to my text right away. Otherwise, you’ll find me knocking on your door in ten minutes. ]

Ha! Mo Jiangye scoffed when he read this message.

Another text message came immediately. [ I’ve filed a police report. ]

Finally, at his last straw of patience, he started typing a string of words. [ Are you that worried about me? ]

The phone in his hand beeped the instant a new message came. [ Answer the phone! ]

Suddenly, the phone began ringing. He stared at the display screen for a long time before he finally pressed the Answer button.

“Who are you and where’s Xiao Ruo?” asked Ji Sichen coldly.

He did not answer his questions. Instead, he placed the phone on the wine rack, dolefully poured himself a glass of red wine, and downed the alcohol in one shot.

“Say something! Why do you have Xiao Ruo’s phone?”

He poured himself another glass of wine. While he swirled the wine glass in his hand, his eyes were fixed on the phone. His gaze was filled with iciness and malevolence.

The person on the other end had already jumped off his bed out of anxiety and was frantically pacing back and forth in his room. If only I knew Xiao Ruo’s home address, then I could have already been on the way to her house. D*mn it! I have no idea where she’s staying!

“Speak your mind then. What is it that you want? Money? How much is enough?” Ji Sichen’s fists were tightly clenched. The worst possible scenario he had come up with was that his friend had been kidnapped.

“Let’s not beat around the bush. Just state the amount you want!”

Mo Jiangye’s lips curled up into a cold sneer when he heard this. With languid movements, he placed the glass aside, crossed his arms, and casually leaned against the wine rack as he listened to the distressed voice on the line.

“I’ve already filed a police report,” the other guy warned him.

“Mo Jiangye, what are you doing?” With a sleepy yet confused look on her face, Ye Erruo came down in her bedroom slippers. Yawning, she poured herself a huge cup of water that she gulped down and then turned to look at the man standing beside the wine rack.

Why isn’t he sleeping? Why is he standing guard over there at night?

“What’s wrong?”

She was baffled by the way his eyes were trained on her.

“Can’t sleep?” she asked.

The man said nothing and only continued to stare at her.

Her brows furrowed in puzzlement, but since she was still feeling sleepy, she turned around to head back upstairs and go back to sleep.

Her lack of concern disconcerted him.

“Xiao Ruo! Xiao Ruo! Xiao Ruo!” Ji Sichen’s agitated yells echoed from the phone’s speaker.

He ended the call pronto and headed upstairs right away.

Back in their bedroom, he found the woman sprawled on the bed without any concern for her image. She had already fallen asleep with her head buried in the blanket.

“...”

He walked toward her to tuck her properly under the blanket, but the moment he reached out to adjust the blanket, he was tightly wrapped in her embrace. Opening her bleary eyes, his wife mumbled, “Behave and come to bed now. Don’t fool around.”
