The reason why MO Xiuchen repeatedly asked Wen Ran to confront those women who admired him was actually due to his lack of sense of security.

Having lost his mother at a young age, and having his father remarry, he transformed from a happy child to a neglected orphan, who was constantly hurt. Now, he has developed feelings for Wen Ran and naturally wishes for her to reciprocate in kind.

The lingering frustration in MO Xiuchen’s heart vanished without a trace at Wen Ran’s soft utterance of “okay” and her gentle gaze. His deep pupils reflected a hint of warmth, while his stern facial features softened slightly.

Through the car window, Wen Ran saw Cheng Jia approaching from afar. She pursed her lips and took the initiative to grasp MO Xiuchen’s broad hand.

Feeling the warmth at his fingertips, MO Xiuchen immediately withdrew his gaze from the window. Looking at her gentle face, his heart warmed and he turned his hand over to hold her soft hand tenderly in his palm.

The air inside the car acquired a certain warmth because of their clasped hands. For a moment, Wen Ran felt as though MO Xiuchen’s previous anger had just been an illusion.

Looking at his placid face and recalling his earlier grumpy attitude, Wen Ran suddenly found it funny and burst into laughter.

“Ranran, what are you laughing about?”

MO Xiuchen gazed at her radiant smile, inhaling her refreshing fragrance. His heart slightly stirred. Since they became husband and wife, the formerly indifferent he developed an unusual liking to matters involving men and women. novelbuddy.c(o)m

“Nothing in particular.”

Subconsciously lowering her head to avoid his deep gaze, Wen Ran discretely glanced at the approaching Cheng Jia, and softly said: “She’s here!”

MO Xiuchen did not respond to her comment, but merely turned on the car’s interior light, his gaze deeply fixed on her.

Cheng Jia stopped outside the car and called for “Young Master MO”.

The back door of the car opened from the inside, and Wen Ran’s voice rang out from within: “Get in!”

Cheng Jia’s expression shifted slightly in surprise. She hadn’t expected Wen fr(e)enovelkiss.com

Ran to be in the car. She had thought it would be only MO Xiuchen, and her heart rate had involuntarily quickened just now in anticipation.

Upon entering the car and seeing MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran sitting in the front, Cheng Jia took a few moments to muster a sincere, yet pitiful expression.

“Young Master MO!”

Cheng Jia bit her lip and quietly called out to MO Xiuchen when he didn’t even bother to look her way.

In the driver’s seat, MO Xiuchen slightly turned his body, his gaze affectionately falling on Wen Ran. His large, knobby hand held her small hand firmly in his own, completely ignoring Cheng Jia who had just got into the car.

Even when she called out to him, he didn’t turn his head. Instead, he calmly asked: ‘What’s the matter? Speak!”

His tone was clearly devoid of any emotion, yet his gaze on Wen Ran was as gentle as ever.

The car divided the front and back seats. However, his behavior seemed to divide the seasons of spring and winter in the car.

A flash of hurt flickered in Cheng Jia’s eyes. Her hands, resting by her sides, subconsciously clenched into fists. She despised Wen Ran.

Even now, she still believed that it was Wen Ran who seduced MO Xiuchen. Without Wen Ran, MO Xiuchen would not have doubted her, would not have investigated her. She wouldn’t have needed to resort to playing the victim to make him believe her.

“Miss Wen, could you excuse us? I want to talk to Young Master MO alone.” Cheng Jia started, her eyes staring directly at Wen Ran.

MO Xiuchen’s gaze immediately cooled at her words. Before Wen Ran could reply, he coldly stated: “If you have something that Ranran can’t hear, then there’s no need to say it to me either!”

Cheng Jia turned pale at his words. Afraid that persisting may get her driven away by MO Xiuchen, she had no choice but to swallow her hatred for Wen Ran. Taking a deep breath, she lowered her voice and said: “Well, since Young Master MO is willing to let Miss Wen listen, then I’ll go ahead.”

“Hmmm.”

MO Xiuchen grunted in response, his gaze still lingering on Wen Ran’s face. Wen Ran did not spare Cheng Jia a glance as she focused on MO Xiuchen.

In the warm and happy atmosphere between the two people in the front row, Cheng Jia stayed silent for a few seconds before speaking, her voice filled with remorse: “Young Master MO, I’m sorry, I lied to you!”

MO Xiuchen’s expression darkened slightly, his sexy lips forming a cold, resolute line. He didn’t reply.

Wen Ran’s brows furrowed slightly. Turning her head to look at Cheng Jia, she asked casually: “What did you lie to MO Xiuchen about?”

Despite the fact that Cheng Jia would rather Wen Ran not know, MO Xiuchen insisted on her staying. Thus, she had no choice but to follow Wen Ran’s question and answer: “I’m not the little girl who saved Young Master Mo.”

MO Xiuchen had learned the truth a few days ago, so he was not surprised by Cheng Jia’s answer. However, Wen Ran was surprised and turned her gaze to MO Xiuchen.

Cheng Jia also set her gaze on MO Xiuchen. Seeing his indifferent expression showed no sign of change, she was secretly shocked. She felt that her choice to confess was the right way to go. Even if she didn’t confess, MO Xiuchen would still find out the truth.

“You mean you impersonated her? How did you come to know about these events?”

Seeing MO Xiuchen’s cold expression, Wen Ran placed her other hand over the back of the hand he was using to hold hers. She wanted to convey her worry for him through the warmth of her hand.

She picked up Cheng Jia’s topic not because she wanted to hear her rambling, but because she wanted to get straight to the point. This way would be quicker.

“It was Xiao Wenqing. She found me when I was twelve.”

Cheng Jia didn’t dare to hold anything back. She halted slightly as she looked at MO Xiuchen affectionately, and then continued: “At that time, she found me and first asked if I had ever saved a young boy when I was a young girl. After confirming that it wasn’t me, she asked me to impersonate that little girl.”

MO Xiuchen’s face betrayed no emotion, but inside he was slightly astonished. Cheng Jia wasn’t even twenty-three yet, meaning that Xiao Wenqing had begun planning to find a girl to impersonate his life-saving benefactress ten years ago.

“She told me all the details she knew, but she didn’t know the real circumstances between that little girl and Young Master Mo. In the end, she had no choice but to let me pretend to have amnesia.”

“If Xiao Wenqing found you ten years ago, why did she wait until now to let you appear?”

Wen Ran suppressed her anger and asked coldly. It was evident that Xiao Wenqing was a cunning woman who had calculated all these possibilities. It was really not easy for MO Xiuchen to grow up safely in such a situation.

Considering this, Wen Ran’s heart tightened with pity for MO Xiuchen and anger towards Xiao Wenqing.

“Xiao Wenqing said, Young Master MO is too wise and prudent. If I appeared before him, he would definitely doubt me. Since he has been looking for me all the time, she decided to let him find me himself.”

Wen Ran’s face changed. Xiao Wenqing had indeed planned everything meticulously. She was probably worried that if Cheng Jia took the initiative to appear, MO Xiuchen would suspect her. Furthermore, she seemed to believe that the longer MO Xiuchen searched, the more he would cherish Cheng Jia when he found her.

MO Xiuchen snorted coldly, “She wasn’t afraid that I might actually find that little girl from back then, was she?”
