Translator: 549690339
After wrapping up her affairs, Wen Ran finally went to meet MO Zixuan. 𝔣𝔯𝖊𝔢𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝖔𝔪
The tone in which MO Zixuan spoke earlier assured her that he truly does not remember her. Why he forgot can probably only be answered by Xiao Wenqing.
In the coffee shop, MO Zixuan sat by the window, dressed in a blue suit that highlighted his youth and handsome features. From the moment Wen Ran entered, his gaze never left her.
His look was not filled with the deep affection of the past, but had a touch of lost confusion. Filled with the words of that old classmate on the university campus yesterday, his bewildered eyes revealed a hint of complexity.
MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran haven’t even been married for three months.
If Wen Ran was really his girlfriend before, why would she desert him and marry MO Xiuchen? Was she forced by MO Xiuchen, or were there other reasons?
“Miss Wen, please, sit down!”
As Wen Ran approached, MO Zixuan stood up and gestured her to sit. Only after she took a seat did he sit back down.
At this hour, the coffee shop wasn’t very crowded. In the warm and quiet hall, the waiter enthusiastically greeted Wen Ran and asked if she wanted the usual.
Wen Ran smiled and nodded. The waiter turned and left.
The coffee shop was across from the Wen family business. She frequented it so much that she became a regular customer. Here, she was more familiar and comfortable than MO Zixuan. She leaned slightly against her chair and calmly began, “What is it, speak up!”
MO Zixuan stared at her for a few seconds before asking, “Have you ever thought something about me was odd, did we know each other?”
Wen Ran furrowed her brows and then laughed. Her voice was warm and soft, which was pleasant to his stubborn persistence in the past.
Now, he had forgotten everything and was looking at her in a daze, expectantly waiting for her to clear up his confusion. In spite of everything, she couldn’t help but be indifferent to him.
Moreover, resolving his doubts might be a good thing.
In the past few days, he and his mother, Xiao Wenqing, had collaboratively posed problems for MO Xiuchen, creating issues that are not too big but not too small either. Although everything was fine right now.
But if it continued like this, who knew what too far-fetched thing he might do someday.
“It seems you truly don’t remember.”
MO Zixuan’s face noticeably changed.
A peculiar feeling arose in his heart. When MO Xiuchen mocked him with those piercing words at the company, he was only annoyed and angry.
But now, Wen Ran spoke with an even tone, a gentle voice, and even implied that she knew something and was just waiting for him to confirm it.
“What was our relationship in the past?”
He stared intently at Wen Ran. Was this the woman he used to love passionately?
Dressed in her professional attire, which emphasized her enchanting figure, her beautiful and delicate face did not need heavy makeup. Her clear and sparkling eyes were calm and indifferent, and she sat there quietly, radiating a clean and beautiful aura.
Even though she was MO Xiuchen’s wife, and could possibly have betrayed their feelings, he did not feel the slightest resentment or disgust towards her.
Wen Ran calmly met his burning gaze. While he was observing her, she was also observing him. As the waiter brought her coffee, she said ‘thank you’.
Looking down at her coffee, she started again. Her voice was not as gentle as before. Like a gust of wind sweeping through the warming sunshine of autumn, the comforting warmth was scattered, leaving a touch of coolness, “I can tell you everything, but, you may not believe me.”
“I believe you. Go on!”
MO Zixuan blurted out without thinking. He didn’t know why, but he just believed that Wen Ran would not lie to him. If she was the woman he deeply loved, he should trust her.
Wen Ran looked at him in surprise but quickly regained her calm, “We met in college. I was a freshman and you were a senior. We got to know each other by coincidence. ”
MO Zixuan didn’t interrupt. He sat upright in his chair, his gaze focused on her, quietly listening to her story.
As she spoke, it was as if he had been transported back to the past, “Later, you told me that you fell for me at first sight.”
MO Zixuan’s heart, vacant for days, finally felt something real. Wen Ran had only begun her story, but he deeply believed that the person he had forgotten was her.
The girlfriend mentioned by that classmate, the woman he deeply loved, mentioned by Zhou Lin in her messages.
A feeling that he couldn’t articulate welled up in his heart. He subconsciously clenched his lips, while his hands under the table gradually tightened into fists.
“… We dated for three months. At that time, you treated me really well. Unfortunately, we were not destined to be together. Three months ago, my parents passed away in a car accident, my brother was in a coma in the hospital to nrotect me. and Zhou Mingfu collaborated with others in an attemnt to seize
our family’s pharmaceutical factory.”
MO Zixuan’s heart gave a sudden painful throb. Even though Wen Ran did not sound upset, but merely narrated the events he had forgotten, his heart was terribly tightening.
“Perhaps your mother, afraid that I would turn to you for help, or thinking that without my family I was no longer suitable for you, didn’t want me to trouble you and thus, had Zhou Lin drug me and then arranged for someone to destroy my reputation.”
MO Zixuan’s face paled slightly, and the fists clenched under the table tightened imperceptibly.
“However, Zhou Lin liked you and took this opportunity to drug your water. The next morning, your mother led reporters to the hotel, and I received a strange phone call. In the hotel, I saw you and Zhou Lin.”
“So you married MO Xiuchen.”
MO Zixuan murmured, his voice reflecting shock, heartache, and guilt.
All of this was caused by his own mother. How could he reprimand Wen Ran’s ‘betrayal’. Wen Ran nodded, “My parents passed away, my brother was in a coma, coupled with Zhou Mingfu’s tactics, the company was in heavy debt. MO Xiuchen was willing to offer help in such a crucial moment. I am extremely grateful. ”
MO Zixuan managed a bitter smile, and asked painfully, “After your marriage, was it because I couldn’t forget my feelings for you that my mother used some method to make me forget you?”
Wen Ran nodded, “You are not a man of two minds. Your mother did this probably because you didn’t listen to her. You refused to marry Zhou Lin a while ago, and later you refused to fight MO Xiuchen for the company.”
“Now that you’re telling me all this, aren’t you afraid I will fight with MO Xiuchen for you?”
MO Zixuan suddenly asked, looking at Wen Ran intently.
Wen Ran smirked and said lightheartedly, “I told you all this because you sought me out, wanting to know what you forgot. Of course, I do not want you to regret your actions after finding out the truth someday..”
