Translator: 549690339

Mo Zixuan made a fuss, but he didn’t really intend to halt the filming. In the end, he allowed Lu Yitong to replace Shasha for the short film.

Back in his office, he slapped himself on the head in frustration. He blamed his foolish mother for erasing his memory, causing him to only now uncover Wen Ran’s identity.

Actually, he hadn’t remembered at all. He’d merely been deceiving Wen Ran earlier.

He learned of those matters because, unintentionally last night, he’d found a few diary entries he’d written, digital copies.

From the first time he saw Wen Ran, to every time he fell for her after… As he read those words, he seemed to relive all those past events.

His feelings for Wen Ran could not fully return. However, seeing how he’d cherished their relationship in the past, his emotions were complicated.

On one hand, he was at a dead end. Following that night’s events, Mo Xiuchen had resolved to completely eliminate him. If it weren’t for the old man, he’d have no place in the company.

He couldn’t match Mo Xiuchen’s abilities. His only chance came from Wen Ran.

A sudden ringing of his phone interrupted his thoughts. Seeing the incoming caller, his face darkened. He hesitated for a moment before answering the call, “What is it?”

“Zixuan, did you tell Wen Ran yet?”

The voice on the phone belonged to Xiao Wenqing.

“She already knows about her background. When I just revealed it, she didn’t react with surprise at all. She even openly admitted it.”

Mo Zixuan’s tone carried a hint of indignation. He blamed her for all this.

“She already knew? Then what’s her real identity?”

Xiao Wenqing was also taken aback. They’d always thought Wen Ran was unaware of her origin. Because they lacked evidence, they dared not expose Wen Ran’s heritage.

“I don’t know. She didn’t say. Perhaps, she doesn’t know either.”

Mo Zixuan responded coldly. He envisioned Wen Ran’s beautiful face and frowned deeply.

“A few days ago, didn’t she celebrate her birthday at the Gu family’s residence? In the next few days, observe if she has any connection with the Gu family. Your Uncle Wu and I already suspected in the past if she could be the girl Mo Xiuchen has been looking for.”

Xiao Wenqing shared her thoughts.

Mo Zixuan contemplated her words, “When you put it that way, I remember, apart from being close to a few people around Mo Xiuchen, she indeed has no connection with anyone else. She celebrated her birthday at the Gu family’s place. But, if she were Gu Yan’s daughter, why would there be anything to hide?”

“If she’s Gu Yan’s daughter, that would be quite the spectacle.”

Xiao Wenqing coldly laughed on the other end of the phone. She truly hoped her conjecture was correct.

Just think, Mo Xiuchen had no interest in any woman, yet he fell in love with Wen Ran. That was absolutely unbelievable to Xiao Wenqing.

At first, she thought Mo Xiuchen merely wanted to use Wen Ran. Later on, she discovered his kindness toward Wen Ran was genuine. Moreover, he was suspicious over Cheng Jia, who she brought into the picture.

Although he didn’t expose Cheng Jia’s identity to the public, Cheng Jia had already confessed to him.

“What good would come from that? You’d better hope she’s not Gu Yan’s daughter. If she is his daughter, with the added protection from the Gu family, you trying to harm her would be just a dream.”

Mo Zixuan couldn’t resist belittling Xiao Wenqing.

“Zixuan, you don’t get it. If Wen Ran is Gu Yan’s daughter, she doesn’t even count as a woman.”

“What do you mean by that? If she’s not a woman, did she transition genders or something?”

Mo Zixuan thought Xiao Wenqing was having a mental breakdown.

“Zixuan, trust what I’m about to tell you. Gu Yan’s daughter can never bear children. Wen Ran has been married for so long to Mo Xiuchen and yet, she’s not pregnant. That’s suspicious. Pay closer attention in the coming days. If she’s Gu Yan’s daughter, report this fact to Mo Jingteng. After that, you don’t need to worry anymore.”

“Are you serious?”

Mo Zixuan was taken aback.

“Of course it’s true.”

Xiao Wenqing gave a satisfied laugh. Would a woman who couldn’t bear children count as a real woman?

In the Mo family, there were only two sons, Mo Xiuchen and Mo Zixuan. Previously, Mo Xiuchen had almost been left infertile. Now that he has recovered, if Wen Ran couldn’t bear children that would be divine intervention helping her.

By using Mo Jingteng, she didn’t believe she couldn’t separate Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran.

The more Mo Xiuchen loved Wen Ran, the more she wanted to deny them happiness. She planned to use Wen Ran to strike at Mo Xiuchen. When Mo Xiuchen is devastated, the company would belong to her son.

After a long pause, Mo Zixuan finally replied, “Alright, I’ll get to the bottom of this.”

After hanging up the call, he was lost in his thoughts.

Was there really a connection between Wen Ran and the Gu family?

Suddenly, he felt conflicted. He partly wished for Wen Ran to be Gu Yan’s daughter and deliver a major blow to Mo Xiuchen. But at the same time, he hoped that she wasn’t Gu Yan’s daughter.

Such a young, beautiful, and radiant woman, even if he’d forgotten his feelings for her, he didn’t want her to be unable to bear children. Because, he still hoped that one day, she’d have children for him.

That night, Wen Ran went to bed early.

To have a good condition to pick Mo Xiuchen up from the airport the next day, she’d gone to bed early.

In her drowsiness, something was disturbing her. She furrowed her brows, raising her hand to swat at it. Then, a strong hand gripped her wrist and a familiar low laughter sounded by her ear.

Wen Ran woke up in a start, sleepily looking at the handsome face close to hers, “Xiuchen, how are you back already?”

“I rushed back overnight, and you swatted at me as if I were a mosquito.”

Mo Xiuchen’s deep gaze was tenderly locked onto her. His lips wore a warm and indulgent smile. As he spoke, it inexplicably sped up her heartbeat.

Her sleepiness diminished a little. She blinked, taking in his handsome face. A small smile spread across her own face, “That’s what you get for disturbing my sleep.”

“I didn’t mean to disturb your sleep. Ranran, you can continue sleeping.”

After Mo Xiuchen finished speaking, that same feeling from a moment ago returned. She giggled and whined, “Xiuchen, stop it, that tickles.”

“I’m not doing anything, you can keep sleeping. Don’t mind me.”

He replied seriously, even covering her eyes with his hand to help her continue sleeping. Wen Ran laughed and removed his hand, pouting, “How could I sleep with you like this? Why didn’t you tell me you’re returning early?”

“It’s even better if you can’t sleep, I’ll tell you slowly later!” Mo Xiuchen concluded.
