Chapter 181 - 181: Don’t change the subject.

For a moment, her mind was in chaos.

She didn’t understand why MO Xiuchen was so angry, and what he meant by the phrase he just said, ‘He is not…’

Wen Jin was not only her brother but also her only kin. How could she distance herself from her brother just because she was married?

She pressed her lips tightly, trying to reason with him, “MO Xiuchen…”

MO Xiuchen suddenly turned around, buckled his seat belt, and started the car.

Wen Ran’s words got stuck in her throat and she couldn’t utter a sound for a moment.

A wave of sorrow welled up within her. In her office that afternoon, he had said that even if they found the little girl who saved him years ago, he would never let go of her hand.

Tonight in the hospital, he blamed himself for her almost being taken away, she thought that was his unique way of confessing his feelings for her. Although he didn’t directly express his love for her, he clearly showed that he cared about her.

But now, he actually mentioned ‘divorce’.

They drove home in silence. Once they got home and went upstairs to the master bedroom, Wen Ran gathered her courage to stop MO Xiuchen, who was heading towards the bathroom, “Can we talk?”

MO Xiuchen paused, his tall and straight figure standing under the brilliant crystal chandelier light. He looked at Wen Ran with a cold gaze, his lips pressed into a straight line, and he didn’t speak.

Wen Ran took a deep breath and pointed to the couch a few steps away, “Let’s sit down and talk.”

She turned and walked towards the sofa, with MO Xiuchen following behind her. At the sofa, he hesitated for a moment, but when she patted the seat next to her, he finally gave up his intention to sit across from her and sat down next to her.

Wen Ran looked at MO Xiuchen’s handsome face, hesitated for a moment, and softly called his name, “Xiuchen.”

MO Xiuchen diverted his gaze from where he had been looking, turning to look at her when he heard her voice.

“Are you hiding something from me?”

Either Wen Ran’s question was too sudden, or MO Xiuchen was guilty, his eyes flickered, and he retorted, “What are you talking about?”

Wen Ran furrowed her brows slightly, looking at him without blinking, expressing her suspicions, “I want to know too, what it is. You’re not the kind of person who is unreasonable. Earlier, when you said that I cared a lot about Older Brother Gu, I told you that if it bothered you, I would keep a distance from him.”

MO Xiuchen’s eyes shifted slightly, slightly surprised at Wen Ran’s sensitivity.

Wen Ran gave a slight smile, which wasn’t noticeable and faded quickly, “I remember, at that time you said that you wouldn’t restrict my freedom to make friends, right?”

MO Xiuchen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, he regretted not controlling his emotions better that evening. Seeing her interaction with Wen Jin, he had suddenly become jealous and started talking nonsense.

Whenever it came to her, he seemed to have less and less control over his emotions.

Seeing that he didn’t answer, Wen Ran didn’t push, and continued, “Since you do not restrict my friendships, it is even more unreasonable for you to restrict how close I can be to my brother. Even if you didn’t know that my brother and I have had a strong bond since childhood, you would not be so unreasonable as to want me to distance myself from him when he is the only family I have left.” MO Xiuchen’s eyes shifted and he spoke in a hard, cold tone, “I don’t like him deliberately blaming himself, making you feel guilty.”

Wen Ran gave a slight smile, there was a touch of self-mockery in that smile. She’s not a fool, while MO Xiuchen can sometimes be as childish as a little child, he would not get so upset about such a small matter.

“You said this afternoon that the first time we met, you felt something special about me.”

A glimmer of surprise flashed in MO Xiuchen’s eyes, he was again shocked by Wen Ran’s perceptiveness. She was able to connect seemingly unrelated matters together.

Based on what she had just said, he could almost guess what she was going to say next. As expected, she continued with her calm narrative, “Considering your years of searching for that little girl, I gave you that feeling and you would definitely investigate me.”

MO Xiuchen openly admitted, “I did investigate you, although the results of that investigation were not what I wanted, but the feeling I had for you, it remained the same. That’s why when your family had trouble, I appeared in front of you and asked you to marry me.”

Wen Ran seemed not to have heard his words, she continued, “Last time, Zhou Lin and MO Zixuan went to F City for their wedding photo shoot, MO Zixuan came back in advance, and Zhou Lin stayed there alone, even asked me for leave to extend her vacation.”

On the way back, he was silent all the way, and she was thinking all the way. The things she once found strange seemed to become clear when she put them all together after much thinking. Everything was not just strange.

“Ranran, don’t overthink.”

MO Xiuchen tried to stop Wen Ran’s ‘wild thoughts’, but his words didn’t seem to work, neither could they stop her from thinking and doubting.

“Let me finish.”

She interrupted him, recalling all the events that had happened these days, “At that time, Zhou Lin had extended her vacation by a week, but then, because MO Zixuan went to pick her up, she came back with him. In addition, she also promised to persuade her father to retire..”
