“You go first!”
Wen Ran refused Tong Shishi’s ‘invitation’, she was not interested in her and Mo Zixuan’s matter.
Just now, she had only felt surprised.
Unexpectedly, just a few days ago she had been begging her to put in a good word with Little Liu.
And now she was entangled with Mo Zixuan.
She dawdled in the restroom for a few minutes.
She planned on coming out after Mo Zixuan and Tong Shishi left, but the moment she came out of the restroom, in the narrow hallway was the two of them.
The woman was Tong Shishi.
And if that man was not Mo Zixuan, then who could it be!
At this moment, no one was in the hallway. Wen Ran stood at the restroom entrance, furrowing her eyebrows.
She was debating whether to pretend not to see them and pass by or to retreat back into the restroom.
Mo Zixuan glanced at her, and their gazes met. His face slightly changed, but quickly, he flashed a smile, “Miss Wen!”
He greeted her politely, but Wen Ran wasn’t in the mood.
“Deputy General Mo, Miss Wen, just now, was asking how I got to know you. Why don’t you explain it to her? I’ll wait up ahead,” said Xiao Wenqing.
Tong Shishi gave Mo Zixuan a flirtatious look, wriggled out of his arms and walked away with a swaying gait.
Wen Ran’s eyebrows faintly creased as she said coldly, “Miss Tong misunderstood, I was just asking casually, you don’t need to explain.”
“Miss Wen, wait a moment.”
As Wen Ran passed by Mo Zixuan, he suddenly seized her wrist.
“Mo Zixuan, let me go!”
Wen Ran was taken aback, she immediately struggled.
Mo Zixuan smirked.
The breath he exhaled onto her face was filled with the stinging smell of alcohol, indicating he had just drank a lot.
He was strong, with a little effort, he pressed Wen Ran against the wall.
One hand holding her, he asked, “Before, when we were dating, did we have intimate contact?”
Wen Ran’s eyes widened at his question. Looking at Mo Zixuan’s slightly reddened eyes from the alcohol, she felt uncharacteristically nervous. “Mo Zixuan, you’re drunk! Let me go immediately.”
“I’m not drunk, Ranran. Although I can’t remember my feelings for you, I don’t dislike you now. Most importantly, we met in the afternoon and again in the evening. This shows that there is still fate between us.”
“You are crazy, let me go!”
Wen Ran struggled. The strong smell of alcohol from his mouth made her feel sick.
“Just now, I was thinking… back when I was dating you… If I did nothing and let Mo Xiuchen marry you, wouldn’t that be too advantageous for him?”
“Mo Zixuan, you were not like this before.”
He was inching closer to her. Wen Ran was panicking and instinctively raised her hand to push him away.
“Yes, I didn’t use to be like this before. But in the end, I still ended up getting kicked out of the house. Now, I understand. Ranran, even if I’ve forgotten you, I will take you back.”
His words left Wen Ran terrified. She tried her best to stay calm. “Mo Zixuan, you were kicked out of the house because of Xiao Wenqing, what does that have to do with me?”
“It has nothing to do with you? At that time, Mo Xiuchen wanted to marry you because I loved you. Ranran, you’ve been married to Mo Xiuchen for only a few months, but you are completely devoted to him. Why can’t you be a little nicer to me after knowing me for so many years?”
“You all like Mo Xiuchen. Even the old man does. He pretended to get me back to the company, but in reality, he was just using me, to control Mo Xiuchen.”
It seemed like Mo Zixuan was genuinely drunk. The resentment in his heart erupted, he did not hide his complaints at all. “Everything is because of Mo Xiuchen! He has ruthlessly driven me to the wall, he even had people watching me when I rented a house outside. Since he won’t let me off, I won’t let him off either.”
When he agreed to Mo Jing’s proposal to return to the company, he had already made up his mind to reclaim everything he had given up before.
That included Wen Ran.
Even though he no longer loved her, he didn’t feel sorry for her anymore either.
All he had was a man’s possessiveness towards a woman. It seemed like the old romantic Mo Zixuan was dead, there was only the spiteful Mo Zixuan left.
“What the hell did Mo Jing say to you? Mo Zixuan, sober up! Xiuchen hasn’t pushed you, he’s not making life difficult for you either.”
Wen Ran was hoping that Mo Xiuchen would come and find her quickly.
“Huh, he didn’t? Stealing you away from me is the best evidence.”
“Maybe, you would be able to restore my memory.”
“No, you shouldn’t be so reckless.”
Wen Ran’s body stiffened, she felt both panicked and afraid.
“Whether it will help or not, we will find out soon enough.”
“Mo Zixuan, you bastard! Let go of me!”
Wen Ran was both angry and anxious.
“Ranran!”
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the hallway.
The next moment, the sound of a heavy punch landed in Wen Ran’s ear, a few punches in quick succession, every punch struck with sheer force!
Wen Ran did not see how Mo Xiuchen had made his move, all she heard were the sounds of the punches and Mo Zixuan’s cries of pain. Finally, he fell to the ground and she fell into his familiar and warm embrace.
“Ranran!”
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Wen Ran’s body shivered in his arms, tears streamed down her cheek. Mo Xiuchen pulled her a little further away, seeing the tear stains on her face, his heart tightened again. He turned around, and with a swift kick towards Mo Zixuan, who was trying to stand up, he screamed again before falling back to the ground.
“Ranran, don’t cry.”
Mo Xiuchen was heartbroken. He didn’t dare to think about what would have happened if he had been a moment later, what kind of harm could that scum Mo Zixuan have done to Ranran.
“I’m going to wash my face.”
Wen Ran sniffled heavily; her voice was shaky. She had been really scared just then. Mo Zixuan had become both a stranger and a threat to her.
“I’ll accompany you.”
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes were fierce as they swept over Mo Zixuan, who was sitting on the floor. He took Wen Ran’s hand and went into the ladies’ restroom with her.
