Translator: 549690339

After indulging in an abundant meal, MO Xiuchen, out of worry, tended to Wen

Ran who was weary due to his exhausting activities. During their time at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, she and Bai Xiaoxiao had left their meal unfinished to attend to them in their private room, and after that she hadn’t eaten anything.

Not long after, having gone through some strenuous exercise, she was both tired and presumably starving.

Indeed, Wen Ran was somewhat hungry, but considering the words Cheng Jia had spoken that caused MO Xiuchen to feel upset, leading him to demand her intensely, she gently shook her head and softly said, “I’m not hungry, it’s late now, you should get into bed.”

MO Xiuchen slightly smiled, his broad palm lightly stroking her still flushed face, his gentle voice flowing from his thin lips, “You don’t need to worry about inconveniencing me, I’m a bit hungry too. If you don’t say what you want to eat, I’ll ask Nanny Zhang to cook us some noodles, okay?”

“I can’t sleep right now, will you talk with me?”

After a slight pause, MO Xiuchen added another sentence.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ran naturally didn’t refuse, she responded with an ‘okay’, and watched as MO Xiuchen moved a few steps away to make a call, ordering Nanny Zhang to prepare some noodles.

Had he not been in such a bad mood that evening, at this time, he would have preferred to cook for her himself, but tonight, he really wanted to talk to her.

After giving instructions, MO Xiuchen returned to bed, extending his long arm to pull Wen Ran’s slender body into his embrace. With her by his side, his spirits weren’t as low anymore.

The bright chandelier light shone on both their snuggled figures, with Wen

Ran’s delicate, fair face slightly tilted upward, her soft eyes gazing at MO Xiuchen as she comfortingly stated, “Even if Cheng Jia’s words are true, it doesn’t mean that the little girl from back then is truly gone. Don’t be too upset.”

Wen Ran was unaware of what exactly happened when MO Xiuchen got kidnapped.

She also didn’t know why Xiao Wenqing would claim that the little girl who saved him was dead, she only knew that seeing MO Xiuchen’s heartbroken appearance made her feel equally uncomfortable.

Over the years, MO Xiuchen had been continuously searching for the little girl who saved him. After a long struggle, he finally found a girl named Cheng Jia, but she turned out to be a fraud.

Although he didn’t say it explicitly, she could tell that his mood wasn’t good.

MO Xiuchen understood that Wen Ran’s words were meant to comfort him, in hope to ease his downheartedness. But he couldn’t just brush it away as if he hadn’t heard it. If that little girl really isn’t around anymore, then it must be Xiao Wenqing’s doing.

He recalled the incident from back then. At that time, after narrowly escaping death, he provided the police with leads about his kidnapping location. But by the time they arrived, the place was deserted, only with a few medical supplies remaining.

The reason why Gu Kai was certain that the little girl was his sister wasn’t solely because of the mole on her chin. The most crucial reason was the leftover medication, as well as the girl’s identity…

Because of his ‘illness’, he had fallen into depression for a long time and was later informed about the subsequent events by Gu Kai’s father.

“Mmm, you’re right, Xiao Wenqing’s words might not be true, that little girl was young but she was brave, clever, kind and adorable. Heaven would surely protect her.”

MO Xiuchen’s deep voice was filled with determination. He had dreamt of the little girl confronting him after growing up that night. There’s no way anything could have happened to her.

“Ranran, although Cheng Jia acknowledged her identity, I’m not ready to let her leave just yet.”

Wen Ran looked into MO Xiuchen’s profound eyes and nodded in understanding, “I know. Even though Cheng Jia is not the little girl who saved you back then, she was nonetheless a pawn that Xiao Wenqing had groomed for ten years to bewitch you. Xiao Wenqing must trust her very much. I have a hunch that she hasn’t revealed everything tonight.”

MO Xiuchen’s eyes shone with a trace of emotion. Feeling warmed by Wen Ran’s understanding, he softly held her gentle hand and whispered, “Ranran, the reason I’m keeping Cheng Jia around is to learn more about Xiao Wenqing from her. I’ve already found some clues about what happened back then, though I still don’t have any concrete proof.”

Wen Ran gently smiled, “Then let her stay. Given her affection for you, she’ll surely tell you everything she knows. However, it might take longer as Cheng Jia is quite crafty. She definitely won’t reveal all her secrets at once, rendering herself useless.

MO Xiuchen agreed with Wen Ran’s analysis, Cheng Jia certainly wouldn’t divulge everything at once. That evening, she had only confessed to two matters—one being that she wasn’t the little girl from that year, and the other being his mother’s suicide resulted from her taking drugs.

She had not even admitted to bribing the worker to drop a brick on him when he passed by. It goes without saying, she still had secrets.

After a brief silence, he elaborated, “Although I want to use Cheng Jia, I won’t engage in any excessive intimacy or suggestive behavior with her. Don’t worry about that.”

A thought hit Wen Ran, she knew MO Xiuchen to be a sincere man, not the kind to exhibit affection everywhere he goes. It was for that reason that she didn’t worry much about the other women who adored him.

Hearing him say that, a smile appeared in her eyes and she softly said, “I know and I trust you. If you had any thoughts towards Cheng Jia, you wouldn’t have assigned Little Liu to watch over her all night that night.”

Wen Ran paused for a moment, considered then added, “Earlier in Yi Pin Xuan, the reason I didn’t want to accompany you to meet Cheng Jia wasn’t because I wanted you to exploit her feelings to make her confess. It’s because I know what kind of person you are, for that reason, I assuredly let you be alone with her. ”

A flicker of light shone in the depths of MO Xiuchen’s eyes. Listening the gentle voice of the woman in his arms, he felt his emotions being replaced with soft warmth. A pleasant curve appeared on his lips as he jokingly said, “So it seems like I misunderstood you earlier.”

Wen Ran sincerely nodded, “Of course, not only did you misinterpret me, but you were also mad at me.”

Towards the end of her statement, her mouth puckered up in complaint, her words playful and teasing, prompting a hearty laugh from MO Xiuchen. All his gloominess vanished as he cheerily declared, “Then let me apologize to you. From now on, I’ll control my temper and won’t easily get angry at you.”

In reality, he wasn’t the kind to easily get upset. Most of the time, he concealed his emotions, whether it was dealing with his business clients or dealing with wicked people like Xiao Wenqing, he rarely displayed his feelings.

But in front of Wen Ran, it felt like he became a different person. There were times when he even found himself childish and unrecognizable.

Wen Ran was momentarily dazzled by his charming smile. She raised her eyebrows and playfully replied, “I’ll remember that. If you get mad at me without any reason again, I’ll ignore you.”

“Okay, if I unreasonably get mad at you again, you can ignore me.”

MO Xiuchen’s handsome face lit up with his radiant smile. His typically austere features softened, appearing stunningly attractive as if they could bewitch one’s soul. Wen Ran thought to herself that it was perfectly normal that such a noble and elegant man had many women adoring him..
