“Ranran, is there any place you want to go on Spring Festival holiday? I will accompany you.”
The people who were tired from the annual meeting were not only Wen Ran but also Mo Xiuchen. Mo Xiuchen was so tired that he didn’t drive home by himself; instead, Qing Yang drove the car.
Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran sat in the back seat. His long arm was around her waist, and her head nestled on his shoulder. The scene was warm and beautiful.
Wen Ran shook her head, “No need to go anywhere, I just want to rest at home. It’s already a blessing to stay home and rest for a few days. Wherever we go during the Spring Festival, it’s always crowded.”
Mo Xiuchen gave a knowing smile, “Very well, in that case, let’s just stay home and rest. I haven’t had the chance to spend quality time with you recently, so during the Spring Festival, all my time will be yours.”
Then Wen Ran broke into laughter, her bright eyes shining like stars, “This is your promise. No matter who has other plans for you, you will have to make a formal request for my approval.”
Mo Xiuchen nodded without hesitation, his voice warm and magnetic, “Of course, even if Ah Kai asks me out, I won’t accept. You are far more important to me.”
In the front row, Qing Feng’s shoulders shook slightly with a chuckle, while Qing Yang was concentrating on driving, consciously tuning out the conversation behind him.
Wen Ran frowned at him, “My brother’s surgery is scheduled on the twenty-ninth of winter month. We’ll only have one day off on the thirtieth. Do you think he will have time to hang out with you?”
“If Wen Jin asks me out, I won’t accept either.”
Mo Xiuchen responded seriously, making Qing Feng in the front row couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
He shot a stern glance at Qing Feng who didn’t look back, but his laughter stopped immediately.
“Don’t worry, neither of my brothers would ask you…”
“Miss Wen, I think the ones who want to ask Young Master Mo out are most likely the women who admire him,” Qing Feng shot across the front seat.
Wen Ran giggled, “Yes, Qing Feng is right. The ones who want to ask you out are more likely to be those women.”
“If any woman dares ask me out, from now on, Qing Feng will take my place.”
Mo Xiuchen glanced at Qing Feng in the front row and drawled lazily. He let him be glib, and with so many people around, he could just let them deal with those women.
“Miss Shen, even if you don’t tell me, I would find a way to get the answer I want.”
Late at night, Shen Yuting lay in bed, the words Mo Zixuan said over the phone echoing in her ears and making her waver again.
Mo Zixuan said, “There will always be someone in your hospital who knows the truth. I just need to spend a little more time. Are you really willing to watch the man you love be with another woman, to see them all lovey-dovey and sweet while you are crying alone?”
“If you cooperate with me, I can guarantee that you will become Mo Xiuchen’s woman. I will never betray you, and you don’t have to do anything. Why not?”
The bedside table suddenly started vibrating with a hum.
Followed by the urgent ring of her cellphone, Shen Yuting jumped and turned to pick it up.
She stared at the incoming call for a while before pressing the answer button, “Don’t ask me anymore, I won’t tell you. If you want to know about Wen Ran’s background, find it out by yourself. If you can’t, then prepare to be kicked out of the company!”
A few days ago, she overheard Gu Kai talking on the phone with Mo Xiuchen. It seemed that Mo Xiuchen had set a trap for Mo Zixuan by accepting the new product development case of their company.
Mo Xiuchen wanted to take this opportunity to expel Mo Zixuan from the company to make him no longer able to stay there.
Although the new product will not be launched until after the Spring Festival, Mo Zixuan is already anxious about it. Besides, Mo Xiuchen is also plotting something against him which he has yet to discover.
“Miss Shen, I just wanted to tell you, even if you don’t say it, I still know the answer.”
“What do you know?”
Shen Yuting asked in astonishment. How could he have known? She didn’t tell him at the annual dinner party tonight.
“Even if you don’t say it, there will be others who would. Tonight at the banquet, I saw Gu Kai and Wen Ran together. They were very close. Given Mo Xiuchen’s character, if Wen Ran is not Gu Kai’s sister, he would never be so close to her.”
On the phone, Mo Zixuan’s tone was very calm and confident as if he just wanted to inform her and didn’t need her answer at all.
“Even if my cousin and Wen Ran are a little close, that doesn’t mean anything. Mo Zixuan, you used to like Wen Ran, too. Why do you have to ask about her background?”
“Because I like her, I care about her, which is different from you, because you can just watch the person you love getting along with others, being lovey-dovey with others. I like Wen Ran, I hope she can be my woman.”
Mo Zixuan spoke as if it were only natural.
His words indirectly stimulated Shen Yuting. She remembered the night she confessed to Mo Xiuchen. Even though she was drunk, she didn’t forget anything.
At that time, he coldly rejected her, pushed her away. After she fell, he picked up the bouquet, turned around, and walked away without looking back.
The image of him and Wen Ran together floated in her mind, and her heart felt as if it had been tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
“Shen Yuting, I really pity you; not only was the man you loved snatched away by Wen Ran, but even Gu Kai, who always doted on you like a sister, was also taken by Wen Ran. From now on, they will be good to only Wen Ran.”
“Mo Zixuan, stop it! Even if Wen Ran is Gu Kai’s sister, what about it? The ones who have stayed with my cousin and uncle are me, and they are still as good to me as before.”
As soon as Shen Yuting’s words came out, she immediately regretted, wishing she could bite her tongue off.
“Don’t worry, Wen Ran can’t steal your Mo Xiuchen away. As for your cousin, Gu Kai, it doesn’t matter whether you want him or not. Once you’re with Mo Xiuchen, you won’t care about whether you have brothers or not.”
Mo Zixuan got the answer he wanted, and his mood instantly lifted. The laughter coming from the phone, Shen Yuting regretted it too late. She clenched her teeth, hung up, and threw the phone away.
At Mo’s mansion, Mo Zixuan sat on the sofa with one leg cocked over the other, a thick smile on his face.
He stared at his phone for a while before cheerfully setting it on the coffee table. He then picked up the wine glass at his side and took a sip of red wine. Tonight’s harvest was indeed not small.
His mother was right; Wen Ran really was the daughter of the Gu Family. No wonder Mo Xiuchen wanted to reach an agreement with Zhou Lin back then, and then disregarded his grandfather’s opposition to marry Wen Ran.
Before, he always thought that Mo Xiuchen married Wen Ran just to spite him.
Thinking about it now, he was really silly to have thought that. If he had known, he would not have been forced into such a corner by Mo Xiuchen.
A cold smile slowly surfaced in Mo Zixuan’s eyes again. Wen Ran only knew that she was Gu Yan’s daughter, but she certainly didn’t know about her own health condition. Did Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen know or not know about it?
