“Young Master MO, I…”
Cheng Jia finally waited until MO Xiuchen finished all his calls. She bit her lip and hesitantly called out to him.
MO Xiuchen rose from the sofa. His indifferent gaze swept over Cheng Jia as he dropped the words lightly: “Go back and think over it for one night. If you’re sincere, come and find me in my office tomorrow.”
Cheng Jia turned round, watching MO Xiuchen walk towards his desk, tidying up his files swiftly, turning off his computer, picking up his keys and leaving.
Her complexion changed: ‘Young Master MO, where are you going?
MO Xiuchen furrowed his eyebrows, his eyes turning chilling as he looked at her: “Do I need to report to you where I’m heading to?”
Cheng Jia turned pale, shaking her head hastily: “No, Young Master MO, that’s not what I meant.”
MO Xiuchen gave a cold hum. His gaze resting on her heavily, he spoke word for word: “This is your last chance. There won’t be a third time if you disappoint me again. Go back and think carefully about how you can make me trust you.”
Finishing his words, he didn’t spare another glance at the pale-faced Cheng Jia before turning on his heel and striding away!
There were only ten minutes left until the end of the workday when Wen Ran’s phone rang.
Taking out her phone, she silenced the call without answering, finishing her instructions to the workshop supervisor, designated something to Li Qian, before walking a few steps away to ask Qin Mu, “Qin Mu, how’s the result?”
Qin Mu took off his gloves, turned around, and looked at Wen Ran’s phone flashing with the incoming call light, instead of answering, he asked, “Is MO Xiuchen here to pick you up?
Wen Ran didn’t play coy like MO Xiuchen. She felt somewhat guilty having Qin Mu work overtime for her: “Why don’t I tell him to go back on his own, while I stay here for overtime.”
Qin Mu’s eyes flashed, he said lightly: “Never mind, you’ve worked all day, you should go home. I’ll keep an eye on things here. If anything happens, I’ll give you a call.”
If he kept Wen Ran here for overtime, who knows what kind of tactics MO Xiuchen might come up with to torment him.
He would keep a tally of these petty actions against MO Xiuchen, one day he would pay him back double-fold.
A soft smile appeared on Wen Ran’s face. She said gratefully: “I’m really grateful for your help!”
Qin Mu’s mouth curved upwards, turning back to his experiment when Wen Ran suddenly called out, “Qin Mu, hold on.” “What is it?”
He looked at Wen Ran with confusion.
Wen Ran smiled lightly, stepping forward and brushing off something dirty on his white shirt collar, speaking softly: “You got something on you from the construction site, it’s okay now.”
Qin Mu’s towering figure stiffened momentarily. She had just approached him and gently helped to brush off the dirt. He took in her nearness, the scent of her hair washing over him — his heart inexplicably quickened for a moment. “Then, I’ll leave things here in your hands. Give me a call if any issue arises.”
Unaware of Qin Mu’s peculiar feelings, Wen Ran stepped back after brushing off the dirt on him, a soft smile resting on her delicate face.
“You should go.”
Qin Mu responded curtly, immediately turning away.
Outside the factory
MO Xiuchen sat in his luxurious Aston, draping his slender arm leisurely over the lowered car window. His face was handsome, his demeanor elegant.
Upon seeing Wen Ran come out of the factory area, a gentle warmth immediately filled his deep eyes. His lips curled slightly in response, “Ranran, have you sorted everything out over there?”
Wen Ran sat down on the passenger seat, looking at the man in front of her who was wearing a light smile. “Qin Mu is staying there. The problem should be solved. But I feel bad about it.”
MO Xiuchen chuckled lightly, leaning over to buckle her seat belt. His warm masculine scent filled her senses, “Ranran, don’t worry about such a small matter. Qin Mu is not married, he doesn’t have a girlfriend. There is nothing for him to do in the evenings. It’s more valuable for him to stay and help you.”
Wen Ran twitched at the corner of her mouth at his absurd logic. “Before you were married, did you work overtime every day?”
At her counter-question, MO Xiuchen burst into hearty laughter. He stole a quick kiss from her fair cheek before sitting upright. Once he started the car and got on the road, he answered her question, ‘You’re right. I used to work overtime every day. How else could the company do without me?”
Looking at his smug and proud face, Wen Ran couldn’t help but laugh. Hearing his words, she felt a hint of sympathy.” You’re so smug. Shouldn’t others be saying that the company can’t do without you?”
MO Xiuchen raised an eyebrow, “Without self-confidence, how could I have
Wen Ran was rendered speechless. When did this man become so smooth-talking? She found herself unable to argue with him. She shot him a glare before turning her gaze out the window.
“Ranran!”
From the side, MO Xiuchen gazed at her bright and beautiful face through the rearview mirror, calling for her gently.
Wen Ran acted as if she didn’t hear him. She didn’t respond nor turn her head.
MO Xiuchen gave a charming smile, asking softly, “What do you want to eat tonight? Should we go home or dine out?”
“Home!”
“Cheng Jia came to see me this afternoon when you called.”
Two minutes passed. MO Xiuchen said, gently. Hearing his words, Wen Ran turned her head to look at him confusedly.
“I thought you were really ignoring me.”
The corner of MO Xiuchen’s mouth curved up into a smile, his deep gaze filled with a touch of indulgence. Wen Ran furrowed her brows, “What did Cheng Jia want?”
“She had been waiting for two days but I didn’t seek her out. Therefore, she had no choice but to actively come to me. She said she agreed to the conditions I had previously put forward and promised to behave herself,”
Wen Ran’s eyebrows shot up, behave properly? What conditions are those?
“Last time, when she slit her wrists, I went to the hospital to warn her. Didn’t I tell you about it that night?”
MO Xiuchen said with a slight smile, explaining gently.
Wen Ran vaguely remembered, that night, he came home late and woke her up, then told her Cheng Jia had attempted suicide by slitting her wrists and that he warned her. Just when it seemed something meaningful was about to be said, he closed the topic.
She always felt that he didn’t talk to her about those things without an aim in mind. The true purpose, was to play her!
“Remember?”
MO Xiuchen’s lips held an attractive smile, vividly remembering everything he did to her that night.
At the hint of reddening across her cheeks, a ripple stirred in his heart. This irresistible woman, every frown, every smile, deeply tugged at his heartstrings.
“NO!„
Wen Ran heard the suggestiveness in his tone. Her blushed deepened. Thinking about how he tormented her each night, she glared at him fiercely, hanging her head low, refusing to engage with him any further.
MO Xiuchen’s eyes held a deep enigma, he slowed down the car and slid one of his hands between her legs, whispering in a seductive tone, “Don’t worry, tonight, we’ll reminisce. I promise you won’t forget so easily..”
