Chapter 169: 168 always believe in me

Wen Ran blinked in confusion, asking doubtfully, “Wasn’t it at the pharmaceutical factory? You came with Qin Mu that morning, offering help.”

It was a moment when she was most helpless.

Of course, she remembered.

A flash of loss swept over MO Xiuchen’s eyes before quickly disappearing, her response was as he’d expected. Mocking himself, he smiled sarcastically. A hint of melancholy crept into his voice, “No, our first meeting was at a banquet four months ago. You were there with your father and brother. You also did me a favor…”

“Four months ago?”

Wen Ran tried hard to remember but couldn’t. She apologized, “I must have a bad memory. So, you helped me out of the kindness of your heart because I once helped you?

“Certainly not.”

MO Xiuchen refuted her guess and continued, “I’m not like vou, an innocent, kind-hearted girl. I don’t have time for philanthropy. I helped you because you left a unique impression on me during that first encounter.”

With that, MO Xiuchen paused, leaning slightly toward her.

Wen Ran’s heartbeat skipped a beat. His sudden closeness and intense gaze filled her nostrils with his masculine scent.

He said that she gave him a special feeling.

She suddenly felt a slight nervousness. Was he going to confess his love at first sight? But she quickly dismissed the idea, it was impossible.

MO Xiuchen was a man who’d seen it all. He was not the type to fall for a young and naive girl like her.

“You reminded me of a girl from my past,” He said.

“How could that be possible?”

Wen Ran asked in disbelief. Her face suddenly changed as she remembered something. MO Xiuchen, who had been watching her closely, was quick to catch the subtle change and asked in concern, “Ranran, what’s wrong?”

Wen Ran shook her head, “Nothing. Maybe you feel that way because I’m the same age as the girl who saved you.”

She thought back to that dream that had haunted her for years. As a child, she had told her parents about it but they dismissed it, “Children’s dreams are often a mishmash. Stop overthinking and it won’t bother you anymore.”

When she asked her brother whether the dream could be a forgotten memory, he assured her it was unlikely. She was the apple of their parents’ eye and would never have been exposed to such a situation.

Despite trying to dream about it again recently, it didn’t come back to her.

MO Xiuchen gave a faint smile, lightly stroking her tender hand while soothingly saying, “Perhaps. But, I am glad to have met you, Ranran. No matter what Cheng Jia or others might say, don’t believe them. After witnessing my mother’s suicide as a boy, I am not about to play games with my marriage.”

As he spoke, his expression grew stern. Looking at Wen Ran, his eyes were serious, “The reason I married you was neither to get revenge on MO Zixuan nor to divorce you someday. Even if I found that girl from my past, I wouldn’t let go of your hand.”

Wen Ran’s lips tightened as he tried to control her turbulent emotions. His promise might not be a declaration of love, but it carried even more weight. She believed him to be an honest man and always thought she could treat their marriage sincerely and without regret, even if they have to part ways one day.

“So, you have to believe me always, okay?”

The thing MO Xiuchen worried about the most was that Wen Ran would doubt his intention based on others’ words.

The most poisonous thing for a couple is distrust. Even truly loving partners can end up separating due to suspicion and lack of confidence in each other, let alone a loveless couple like them.

As their eyes met, Wen seemed under his spell. Without thinking, she nodded,

“Okay, I trust you.”

MO Xiuchen smiled, lightheartedly saying, “Tonight, I will accompany you to meet the herbal merchants, along with Ah Kai. I assure you, they dare not object to anything.”

Wen Ran avoided looking at his charming smiling face. She stood up and said softly, “Let’s go, we shouldn’t keep the others waiting.”

Being alone in the office with him made her nervous. This man had been growing increasingly bold lately. Not only did he insist on being physically intimate every night at home, he wasn’t afraid to show affection in public as well.

She wondered how she never noticed this need in such a seemingly cold, indifferent man.

He said, “I’ll call Ah Kai now and see if he’s off work. If he is, he can head straight to the hotel.”

MO Xiuchen took out his phone and dialed Gu Kai’s number. Wen Ran stood in front of the sofa, eyeing him as he talked. The blush on her face that had surfaced due to his teasinq slowlv faded with each passinz second.

The hotel where they were supposed to meet the herbal merchants was arranged by Qin Mu.

In the lavishly decorated private room, everyone gathered around the large round table, with MO Xiuchen, Wen Ran and Gu Kai leading the group.

Each of the three herbal merchants brought an assistant, and in addition to Li Qian and Qin Mu, the idle Luo Haofeng also joined them.

Thanks to MO Xiuchen and Gu Kai, the herbal merchants who initially insisted on raising their prices had become extremely accommodating, almost treating the two men with reverence..
