Chapter 410: 409, only caring about Wen Ran, is false.

When Mo Xiuchen arrived, Mo Zixuan had already reached the designated room.

Upon entering, he just glanced at him nonchalantly, then averted his gaze without standing up.

Mo Xiuchen’s gaze swept over his coat tossed aside. He sat languidly in the sofa, between the fingers of his left hand, a cigarette, which he had just taken a few puffs from.

The drifting smoke veiled his face. His eyes were obscured by a smoky haze.

Mo Xiuchen walked over and sat down in the sofa. Mo Zixuan offered him a cigarette. He took it, Mo Zixuan offered him a lighter, but he declined, “I’m not smoking right now.”

“Want some water? Pour it yourself.”

Mo Zixuan glanced at him and tossed the lighter on the tea table.

“Today is New Year’s Eve. You’re not staying at home with the old man, but asking me out. What’s up?”

Mo Xiuchen’s gaze swept over him vaguely. The room was warm, so he took off his coat and wore only the woolen sweater inside, leaning leisurely into the sofa.

“Aren’t you interested in the whereabouts of Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi?”

Mo Zixuan sat up straight, his eyes fixed on him. His voice was somewhat cold and harsh as he said these words.

Upon hearing his words, Mo Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed slightly, he responded with a question, “You know where they are?”

Just two days ago, he had told him that he didn’t know where Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi were. Had he found out in such a short time?

“No, I don’t know yet, but I have a way of finding out.”

Mo Zixuan smirked coldly. That woman was his mother, she knew him and he knew her. Nonetheless, he had to make a decision before he could take action.

“Hmm, what are your terms?”

Mo Xiuchen pondered for a moment before speaking.

Mo Zixuan called him out during the New Year and asked if he wanted to know the whereabouts of Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi. This meant that he had thought things through and was ready to negotiate terms.

A flicker of emotion flashed in Mo Zixuan’s eyes, but it disappeared instantly. He took another deep puff of his cigarette, flicked the ash away, and said: “My terms are simple. You resign as CEO and recommend me as your successor to the board of directors.”

Mo Xiuchen’s gaze turned icy.

An enigmatic smile curved at the corner of his charming lips. So, after contemplating for a few days, he came up with this decision: use his mother in exchange for his own fortune. It wasn’t a bad move.

“Before, your mother and Wu Tianyi wanted to use them to seize the company. Now, you’re using them to get the company. This tit-for-tat approach isn’t bad.”

Mo Zixuan smirked, mocking coldly: “Can’t bear to part with it? Or was what you said earlier, that you don’t care about fame and fortune, but only about Wen Ran all lies?”

Mo Xiuchen didn’t answer, his gaze just darkened like a bottomless ancient well. No matter how long Mo Zixuan stared at it, he couldn’t discern a fraction of the secrets hiding within.

Seeing him not responding, Mo Zixuan’s face shifted, showing irritation: “Mo Xiuchen, if you don’t agree, that’s fine. Without me, there will still be Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi. Each day you can’t find them, you can’t feel at peace. You can’t guarantee Wen Ran’s safety.”

“I didn’t say I won’t agree.”

Mo Xiuchen answered calmly. Compared to Mo Zixuan’s emotional display, his expression was indifferent. A wisp of coldness emerged from between his brows, spreading an imposing aura around him.

Mo Zixuan’s countenance shifted again at his words.

His heart quivered slightly. If Mo Xiuchen agreed, he could become the CEO. He didn’t care about it in the past, but now, he did.

Only with power and status could he do what he wanted without being manipulated by anyone, be it Xiao Wenqing, Mo Jingteng, or Mo Xiuchen…

“However, I too have a condition.”

Mo Xiuchen watched Mo Zixuan, who couldn’t hide his joy, and spoke nonchalantly.

Mo Zixuan was elated when he suddenly heard his words, he faltered: “What condition?”

“Before you do these things, you need to recover your memory first.”

Mo Zixuan stared in disbelief as if he misheard. Had Mo Xiuchen gone mad? He was actually asking him to recover his memory, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll fight with you over Wen Ran once I recover my memory?”

In fact, he didn’t need to recover his memory. If he had more opportunities to interact with Wen Ran, he would fall in love with her again. He already held her in high favor from just few encounters.

A flicker of emotion swept the depths of Mo Xiuchen’s gaze. His handsome features took on a layer of coldness, causing Mo Zixuan to suddenly feel as if the temperature in the room had dropped somewhat.

With undeniable resolve in his deep, cold voice, Mo Xiuchen said, “Not afraid!”

Those two simple words not only expressed his self-confidence but also informed Mo Zixuan that the person in Wen Ran’s heart was him. Even if he regained his memories, even if he tried to win over Wen Ran, she would not leave him.

Mo Zixuan suddenly understood.

He sneered: “Mo Xiuchen, you’re too self-confident. You think that if I recover my memory, I can help you protect Wen Ran. At least I won’t help Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi harm Wen Ran. But let me tell you, if I truly regain my memory, I will definitely win her back.”

By the end of it, Mo Zixuan’s tone was equally adamant. After reading the scattered pieces of his diary, he knew how much he used to love Wen Ran. If he truly regained his memory, he would not just watch Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran live happily together.

At that time, he would be the CEO of the group, having even more power and means. Without the MS Group, Mo Xiuchen would be nothing.

“If it’s a fair competition, I accept your challenge.”

To his surprise, Mo Xiuchen not only didn’t get angry, but readily accepted.

It seemed that he could let go of his previous rudeness towards Wen Ran.

Mo Zixuan looked at him incredulously. He had never truly understood Mo Xiuchen. Now was no different. He knew that Mo Xiuchen was trying to prevent him from hurting Wen Ran anymore, at least not like Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi.

But didn’t he care at all that he might also fight for Wen Ran?

Fair and square, Mo Zixuan snorted inwardly.

If there was a chance, he wouldn’t mind using aggressive methods, just like how he forced Wen Ran into marrying him in the past. He didn’t believe he couldn’t win Wen Ran’s heart when the time, place, and people were all aligned in his favor.

“Fine, if I can recover my memory, I agree.”

Mo Zixuan thought for about a minute before he made his decision. Seeing Mo Xiuchen’s expression relax slightly, his face darkened: “You haven’t agreed to my condition earlier.”

“Once you’ve regained your memory, I will sign the agreement you drafted.”

Mo Xiuchen picked up his coat lying beside him. He didn’t plan to continue talking, and stood up to leave.
