Cheng Jia said that he married her because she was the woman MO Zixuan deeply loved. She told Wen Jin about her quarrel with Cheng Jia but deliberately left out this detail.

MO Xiuchen raised his hand and grasped her shoulder, looking at her with burning eyes, “I can see it, it’s written all over your face, you’re very upset.”

As soon as his words fell, his slender index finger lifted her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes. Wen Ran pressed her lips tightly together and retorted in a muffled voice, “I’m really not.”

“Ranran, are you worried that Cheng Jia will complain about you, saying that you provoked her and caused her to faint, or perhaps she’s pretending to have a headache after fainting earlier? Or do you think I would blame you for upsetting her to the point of fainting?”

MO Xiuchen saw her stubbornly refusing to admit that she’s upset while biting her lip, her face expressing unhappiness. His heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, causing a slight sting.

Having her thoughts revealed, Wen Ran merely pursed her lips and stayed silent.

Since he had recognized her concerns, she wanted to hear what he would say.

MO Xiuchen’s response was beyond Wen Ran’s expectation. When she heard him saying that “Cheng Jia was not truly faint due to her provocation, but was pretending,” her eyes widened in surprise.

“Is that really the truth?”

Wen Ran looked at MO Xiuchen. She had suspected that Cheng Jia might be pretending, but since she was a patient, she couldn’t be sure.

MO Xiuchen nodded, softening his tone, “It’s Ah Kai who told me, saying that

Cheng Jia was faking her faint.”

While saying this, his voice slightly paused. His gaze deepened while looking at Wen Ran. He earnestly said, “Even if you’ve upset her to the point of fainting, I wouldn’t blame you.”

Wen Ran looked at MO Xiuchen in disbelief. Although he’d told her to protect their marriage and not yield to other women, Cheng Jia had ultimately saved him multiple times.

“No matter what Cheng Jia says to you, you should not take it to heart, understood?”

MO Xiuchen thought for a moment, then added another sentence. He gently swept a stray lock from Wen Ran’s forehead, revealing her full, fair forehead.

Wen Ran tensed slightly, not knowing whether it was because of his action or because she remembered Cheng Jia’s words. Strangely, when she had married MO Xiuchen for the sake of the company, Bai Xiaoxiao had reminded her over the phone.

She told her that MO Xiuchen was MO Zixuan’s half-brother…

At that time, she felt indifferent, no matter the reason MO Xiuchen had married her, as long as it could help the Wen family overcome their difficulties.

Yet in just a short month, she had grown concerned.

She pressed her lips together and forced herself to suppress the emotions in her heart. She put on a radiant smile and retorted, “Not at all. Whatever she says goes in one ear and out the other. It’s all forgotten.”

When MO Zixuan stood before Zhou Lin, she thought she was dreaming.

Staring at him dumbly, she forgot to invite him in.

After waiting for a long time, without any response from her, MO Zixuan frowned with displeasure and said coldly, “Why haven’t you returned to G City for so long? What are you doing alone here?”

Hearing his voice, Zhou Lin believed that everything was real. A joyous smile bloomed on her face as she caught hold of MO Zixuan and asked joyously, “Zixuan, are you here to bring me back? That day, after you left, I had no idea where you went. I dared not leave, fearing that you would be angry if you couldn’t find me when you returned.”

MO Zixuan snorted coldly, not believing her lies. He shook her off and walked to the high-quality leather sofa, comfortably leaning back into it, “Don’t tell me that you didn’t know that I had returned to G City. Don’t spin lies about staying here waiting for me. I suspect that you were afraid of not being able to get into the MO family, so you stayed here to secure a backup plan, right?”

Zhou Lin turned pale at his words and shook her head anxiously, “That’s not it,

Zixuan, you have misunderstood.”

She walked over and sat next to him, reaching out to hold his arm, but the disgust in his eyes made him avoid her.

Zhou Lin’s face turned even paler. She looked at him sadly, with teary eyes, “Zixuan, I swear that the only person I love is you. If I have any other intentions, let me be struck by lightning!”

MO Zixuan glanced at her, not moved by her vow, his handsome features cool and severe. It was no wonder Zhou Lin was enamored with him; he was truly attractive, with features that bore a striking resemblance to MO Xiuchen’s. In comparison to MO Xiuchen’s cold and resolute demeanor, he had a more sunny and handsome charisma.

Unfortunately, since the breakup with Wen Ran, he seemed a changed person.

All that radiated from him now was a sense of dissolution.

He watched Zhou Lin’s sincere expressions, mocking coldly, “Are you brave enough to swear that you haven’t done anything dishonorable behind my back these days?”

Zhou Lin’s eyes flickered. Under his piercing gaze, she felt guilty and couldn’t maintain eye contact with him.

MO Zixuan saw her guilt and narrowed his eyes, grabbed her chin to force her to look up at him, and sternly said, “Zhou Lin, if you dare to lie to me tonight, the child in your belly had better not intend to stay!”

“You can’t do that!”

Zhou Lin looked at MO Zixuan tremblingly, trying to struggle free from his grip, but she couldn’t overcome his strength, causing her chin to hurt as if it was being dislocated.

“Zixuan, if I tell you, will you acknowledge the baby in my belly, marry me, and live a stable life?”

Zhou Lin was in a state of panic, but she hadn’t lost her rationale and still knew to negotiate terms with him.

“That will depend on what you’re going to tell me.”

MO Zixuan huffed coldly, releasing her chin and picking up the water jug on the table for a drink.

Zhou Lin tightly pressed her lips together and boldly said, “It’s about Wen

Ran!”

MO Zixuan’s movement stopped abruptly as he slowly turned his head. His gaze shot coldly towards Zhou Lin. Did she stay here instead of leaving because she intended to harm Wen Ran?

Zhou Lin boldly met MO Zixuan’s gaze without flinching.

After a while, MO Zixuan contained his emotions and lazily asked, “What about wen Ran?”

Zhou Lin hesitated a bit, but in order to show her sincerity towards him, she still chose to tell MO Zixuan the purpose of her staying behind these days, “That day, didn’t you ask Old Lady Wang if she had seen Wen Ran?”

Seeing that MO Zixuan didn’t speak, but was only coldly looking at her, Zhou Lin paused before continuing, “I later asked Old Lady Wang. At first, she didn’t say anything. It was only after I gave her some benefits that I found out the Wen Ran she knew was not the current Wen Ran.”

MO Zixuan snorted coldly and said dismissively, “That old lady is at least eiglyears old, her vision is blurred and her memory is declining. Can you trust he words? Because of this, you stayed here and didn’t go back. Zhou Lin, what were you trying to achieve? Could it be that you thought Wen Ran was an imposter?”

Being counterattacked and ridiculed by him, Zhou Lin’s complexion changed She said in a firm tone:
