Chapter 752 Mo Erhao's Tricks on Meng Jie
next day
Meng Jie woke up with a start, her head throbbing.
I woke up with a hangover and felt unwell all over.
She opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar room, unfamiliar bedding, and... a man lying next to her, sleeping restlessly and frowning from time to time.
"You and I…"
Meng Jie was terrified.
When she woke up one night, she found herself in the same bed as Mo Erhao.
She stood there stunned for a few minutes, then lifted the covers to check her clothes.
Thankfully, the clothes were still intact.
But why does the room have a smell that's both fragrant and slightly unpleasant?
"Little drunkard, are you awake?"
Mo Erhao slowly opened his eyes, looked at Meng Jie who was at a loss and full of surprise, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"How...how did I get here?"
Meng Jie only vaguely remembered drinking at the club. As for how she got there and sleeping with Mo Erhao, she had no recollection whatsoever; it was a complete blackout.
"You're asking me? You got drunk at the club last night, and I was the one who got you back. Otherwise, you would have been picked up by some men with ill intentions towards you. You should thank me."
Mo Erhao deliberately frightened Meng Jie by fabricating non-existent facts.
"Really? I don't believe it. There wasn't a man with me at the time."
Meng Jie was somewhat skeptical.
"Really, I saved you, and since I didn't know where you lived, I arranged for you to stay in my presidential suite."
"Then why are you sleeping...sleeping here?"
"It's all because of you! You threw up all over me last night, and I had no clothes to wear. How was I supposed to get home?"
Mo Erhao said this on purpose, and even lifted the blanket to let her see the bathrobe he was wearing.
"impossible."
"If you don't believe me, ask the customer service representative; she's the one who cleaned it."
"No wonder there's a strange, mixed smell in this room."
Meng Jie solved the case.
The unpleasant smell I had just noticed was because I had vomited.
She lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Then...then you didn't take advantage of me, did you?"
When Meng Jie asked the question, she looked at her clothes again.
"What do you think? Silly boy, it's late at night, the atmosphere is ambiguous, a lone man and a lone woman, like dry wood meeting a raging fire..."
Mo Erhao deliberately teased Meng Jie.
"You...you're talking nonsense."
“I’m not lying. Anyway, we’ve already had an intimate relationship, and you were the one who initiated it. You have to take responsibility for me.”
A hint of mockery appeared on Mo Erhao's face.
"I…"
"Oh, right, you also said you like me."
"impossible."
Meng Jie refused to admit it.
"There's a beautiful receptionist at the hotel who can testify. It's fine if you don't admit it. Or, I can call the receptionist over and you can ask her."
"No, Mr. Mo, I was just talking nonsense when I was drunk, don't take it seriously. As for us...we did *that*, how do you want me to take responsibility?"
Meng Jie mustered her courage and asked a question.
She now firmly believed Mo Erhao's words that she had taken the initiative to seduce him and have sex with him last night.
She knew in her heart that she liked Mo Erhao, and that she might do something like that while drunk.
He had originally intended to distance himself from this one-sided relationship, but unexpectedly, he got drunk and had an accident.
Since it was her responsibility, she intended to take it, even knowing that Mo Erhao didn't like her.
"I want you to take responsibility, to be responsible for dating me, and to be my girlfriend."
Mo Erhao blurted it out.
It seemed as if he had been pondering these words for a long time.
"You...didn't you say in front of the CEO that you wouldn't like me?"
"That was just something I said offhand. Let's put it this way, I didn't think much of it at the time. Besides, it was my first time being so close to a woman, I was a little flustered and said things without thinking—that's a normal reaction. Later, when I saw you drinking alone, I felt…"
"What do you mean? You...you wouldn't be...?"
Meng Jie was stunned.
Is Mo Erhao confessing his feelings to her?
"Since we're already in a relationship, you have to take responsibility for me and be my girlfriend. Otherwise, I'll tell everyone that you're a scumbag who slept with me and then didn't take responsibility."
Mo Erhao suppressed a laugh.
He deliberately tricked Meng Jie.
Actually, nothing happened between them last night.
He just started to feel sleepy while watching Meng Jie sleep, and then somehow he climbed into bed and fell asleep next to her.
But before going to sleep, looking at Meng Jie, he realized his own feelings.
He did indeed fall in love with Meng Jie.
Therefore, he planned to use this method to make Meng Jie his real girlfriend.
He suddenly remembered what his second brother, Mo Erchen, had said. He had indeed fallen in love without realizing it!
"Well... okay then! But we can only keep our relationship secret, we can't go public."
Meng Jie's plan was to agree to his proposal and then secretly start dating him.
If Mo Erhao didn't genuinely like her, but only felt responsible because she slept with him, then if they didn't make their relationship public, no one would know if they broke up later.
Mo Erhao opened his mouth, but before he could reply, the doorbell rang sharply.
"Mr. Mo, are you awake? This is terrible! The whole company knows about your affair with Assistant Meng. What are we going to do?"
The panicked voice of Shen Zhuo, the assistant, came from outside the door.
"What did you say? What happened?"
Mo Erhao was no longer in the mood for jokes.
If this gets out, it's a minor issue for his and Meng Jie's reputations, but a major issue is the impact on the group's stock price. The board of directors will also cause trouble.
He panicked too.
He opened the door, and Shen Zhuo rushed in.
Seeing Meng Jie still huddled in bed, not yet dressed, he took a few steps back and returned to the doorway.
"Vice President, last night, someone first revealed in the hotel staff group that you took Assistant Meng into the hotel and booked a room. Then, the news quickly spread to the group's large staff group, saying that you and Assistant Meng had a special relationship and couldn't control your feelings. There were even more offensive comments, saying that you used your power to coerce Assistant Meng into sleeping with you. All sorts of bizarre comments were made, and the public relations department couldn't keep up."
"Damn it, who spread the word?"
“I investigated and the driver is not a suspect. Of course, I won’t tell anyone. He was the hotel receptionist.”
Mo Erhao's mind went blank as he recalled the image of the hotel receptionist in the elevator.
He didn't think much about it at the time, nor did he warn the front desk not to spread the news. He assumed he would be leaving the hotel soon, so he didn't bother with public relations.
Who knew that the gossipy receptionist would still leak the news.
Has my mom called?
Mo Erhao looked at his phone, which had turned off because it wasn't charging, and asked Shen Zhuo.
"Madam didn't call; it's just that President Mo wants you to return to the company as soon as possible."
"Okay, we'll go back right away."
Meng Jie also heard Shen Zhuo's words, and her face instantly turned deathly pale.
