“If I were to be fond of someone, it would only be you, not any other woman.” When MO Xiuchen said these words, his tone was not particularly tender or affectionate, but quiet and indifferent, yet irresistibly convincing.

Wen Ran’s heartbeat messed its rhythm once again at his words.

She could hear her own heartbeat hammering against her eardrums, thump-thump-thump. In the chaos of her heartbeat, an emotion she herself couldn’t understand seemed to be sprouting.

He paused for a second before adding, “Therefore, you’re not allowed to like any other man besides me.”

“I don’t like anyone else.”

Words of explanation slipped out of Wen Ran’s mouth. From the day they got their marriage certificate, there had been no other man in her heart.

“Drive!”

MO Xiuchen’s lips curved into a barely noticeable smirk. When his gaze swept across her slender fingers, he told her warmly after pausing for a second on her hand, “This weekend, I’ll accompany you to pick out a ring. You should wear a ring. If you don’t, people might misunderstand.”

Two people had ‘misunderstood’ just today – one was the bespectacled man who wanted to date her, the other was Cheng Jia. The former genuinely hadn’t Imown, whereas the latter had deliberately misunderstood.

As Wen Ran was reaching down to fasten her seatbelt, she froze when she heard his words. Remembering what Cheng Jia had said in the restroom, she nodded and responded with a soft ‘okay’.

As Aston hit the road, Wen Ran peeked at him from the rear-view mirror, and asked, “I heard from Assistant Qin that there were problems with the new drug developed by the pharmaceutical factory in H City. Has it been solved?”

“Uh-huh, it has been basically solved. Someone had added something to the drug. Fortunately, the problem was caught early. If it had been used clinically, there would have been a big disaster.”

Wen Ran was taken aback. “Who did this? Have they found out?”

MO Xiuchen’s deep eyes held a flicker of certainty. With a placid expression, he said, “We’re collecting evidence. The culprit can’t escape.”

As Aston arrived at the entrance of the MS Group, Qin Mu was already waiting there. Seeing MO Xiuchen’s car stop by the side of the road, he immediately walked towards it.

MO Xiuchen told Wen Ran to be careful driving, then got out of the car.

“MO Xiuchen, Cheng Jia is in the chairman’s office right now, and the chairman’s wife is there too. Ah Kai said you’d be coming to the office soon, so I waited for you here.”

MO Xiuchen’s expression darkened slightly. He looked towards the roadside and saw Wen Ran starting the car to leave. He told Qin Mu ‘we’ll talk inside’ and, striding towards the entrance with his long legs, he asked:

“Did Ah Kai bring Cheng Jia to the company?

“Yes, according to Ah Kai, on his way to drop Cheng Jia back home at ‘Nan Qin’, she received a call from the Chairman asking her to come to the company. Although the Chairman didn’t inquire about Cheng Jia before, him summoning her today means he must know her identity.”

MO Xiuchen snorted and entered the company, heading straight for the elevator. “Let him know if he knows.”

Reaching the elevator, Qin Mu pressed the button with some apprehension. “Will the Chairman and the Chairman’s wife make things difficult for Cheng

After stepping into the elevator, MO Xiuchen threw a cold glance at Qin Mu. “Before MO Zixuan took over ‘Nan Qin’, it was managed by Xiao Wenqing. Do you think she needs to give Cheng Jia a hard time?”

With that, he pressed a button on the elevator panel. The elevator doors closed and started ascending slowly..
