After Shen Yuting said this, she looked at Wen Ran with some unease.

Wen Ran smiled, “What would I misunderstand? Just as you said, Sister Ting, they may look alike, but they are two different types of people. However, I think you underrate Jiang Liu too much. He has a face similar to Mo Xiuchen’s and shares the same temperament. He’s surely a remarkable man himself. Sister Ting, as long as you are happy, nothing else really matters.”

Relieved by Wen Ran’s response, Shen Yuting smiled, “Being with Jiang Liu feels very real.”

She never said these things to anyone, including Jiang Liu himself. They didn’t know about the conflicts and struggles in her heart, and the gradual change over the days to her current contentment.

“He treats me well. Although his love for me does not run as deep as the affection Mo Xiuchen harbors for you, and he doesn’t spoil me to the extent that Mo Xiuchen does you, I am satisfied. As long as he continues to treat me with his heart, I am willing to walk along with him.”

Shen Yuting is very rationale.

Love is not deep, so reason takes precedence. She knows very well that not all love is deep to the bone like that between Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran.

Not all marriages are as sweet as honey like theirs, and not all men are like Mo Xiuchen, putting the woman they love before themselves, giving everything they have, with no regrets.

Jiang Liu is not Mo Xiuchen. He doesn’t have Mo Xiuchen’s abilities or his obsessive love. As long as he strives to change for her, has a steady job, gives her some warmth, sweetness, and touches her heart in little ways, she is content.

“Sister Ting, when we have a chance, introduce us to Jiang Liu,” proposed Wen Ran, deliberately glossing over Shen Yuting referencing Mo Xiuchen’s kindness to her.

“Sure. I’ll introduce you all to him when we get a chance. But now, I have to bring you back. If I don’t take you back upstairs soon, Mo Xiuchen and my cousin will come looking for you.”

Just as Shen Yuting and Wen Ran stepped out of the office, they saw Mo Xiuchen and Gu Kai approaching from the other end of the corridor. Both handsome men, one was reserved and noble, the other softened by his white coat, exuding understated elegance.

“Ranran, didn’t I tell you so?” Seeing them approaching, Shen Yuting teased.

“Mo Xiuchen, I told you Ranran was here, didn’t I? You didn’t believe me! Yuting, you ran away with Ranran without letting us know. Mo Xiuchen was distraught when he saw Ranran was missing.” Gu Kai started reprimanding from a few steps away.

Mo Xiuchen did not react to his reprimands, his deep eyes lingered on Wen Ran. It seemed that when she entered his sight, nothing else existed in his world.

Earlier in Gu Kai’s office, Mo Xiuchen, not seeing Wen Ran returning for a long time, started to get anxious. After what had happened the other afternoon, he has been on edge, afraid that Ranran might leave without warning.

Shen Yuting quickly apologized, “Mo Xiuchen, I didn’t mean to take Ranran away. Do not be angry. I was just about to take Ranran back.”

“Ranran, let me know the next time you leave,” Mo Xiuchen glanced at Shen Yuting and then stepped forward, his large hand gently held Wen Ran’s small soft hand. After feeling the slight coolness in the palm of her hand, his heart finally settled.

Wen Ran felt his hand enveloping hers, a wave of warmth creeped into her heart. She pursed her lips and said gently,

“I happened to run into Sister Ting in the corridor and sat in her office for a bit. I forgot to tell you.”

“Let’s go back.”

Mo Xiuchen gave a half-smile, his eyes filled with a touch of warmth.

“Ok!”

She couldn’t refuse this side of him. As she looked into his deep eyes filled with warmth, a selfish thought flashed across her mind.

As long as they continue to interact in this manner, without engaging in acts expected between a husband and wife, she was willing to accompany him forever.

As selfish as she knew it to be, he was a healthy man with healthy physiological needs, and she is very aware of that after living their married life for the past few months.

However, she really can’t bear the thought of leaving him. Not only because she doesn’t want to hurt him, but also because she herself cannot endure the loneliness and sadness that comes with his absence.

In the car, Mo Xiuchen leaned over to fasten Wen Ran’s seatbelt. Instead of sitting up straight away, he looked at her tenderly, “Ranran, come to the office with me.”

“It’s still early though!”

Wen Ran’s eyes flickered slightly, her heartbeat becoming slightly more erratic under the warmth of his gaze.

The vehicle cabin was small and enclosed. The two of them were so close that their breaths intermingled.

Seeing the flicker in her eyes, Mo Xiuchen’s gaze deepened. Taking in her orchid-like scent, his Adam’s apple bobbed and his hand unconsciously moved to touch her face.

“Ranran, accompany me at work first, then I won’t have to come and pick you up tonight.”

He remembered that she promised to attend a celebration dinner with him tonight.

“Ok!”

Under his charming spell, Wen Ran inevitably gave in. With her body stiffening up slightly as his handsome face drew closer, her heartbeat pounded wildly. Just as his lips were leaning toward hers, she suddenly raised her hand to cover his mouth.

“Ranran!”

A hint of disappointment flashed across Mo Xiuchen’s deep eyes as his husky voice filled with longing for her.

Wen Ran, her face flushed, blurted out, “Didn’t you say you were going back to the office? Let’s get going.”

“…”

Mo Xiuchen stared at her for a moment, gave up on his impulse to kiss her and let her go.

He returned to his seat and Wen Ran finally relaxed. She saw him lightly pursing his lips, lowering his head to start the car, back out, and hit the road. As the Aston Martin smoothly navigated the traffic, she was filled with inexplicable emotions.

Mo Xiuchen kept his focus on driving and didn’t turn his head. Wen Ran leaned sideways and watched his perfect profile. “Mo Xiuchen!” she ventured.

“Hmm?”

He turned his gaze towards her clear eyes and a gentle smile appeared on his lips in response.

“You’re not angry, are you?”

Wen Ran asked cautiously. She didn’t know how to explain that the reason she didn’t let him kiss her was because she was scared…

Seeing the guilt in her eyes, Mo Xiuchen felt a sharp pain in his heart. The hand on the steering wheel tightened suddenly. “I’m not angry.”

His voice was so gentle that it caused an ache in Wen Ran’s heart.

“Ranran!”

Looking at her downcast eyes, Mo Xiuchen’s eyes tightened, he slowed down and looked at her.

Wen Ran raised her eyes and looked into his deep eyes. She heard his low, gentle words, “As long as you stay with me, nothing else matters.”
