Chapter 469: 468 If I didn’t pretend to sleep
“Xiuchen, I’m afraid that Ranran won’t easily believe it.”
Gu Kai fell silent for a mont before he said in a lancholic tone.
Wen Ran was not a child who would easily be deceived. If these matters were never exposed, even if she spent a year or two drinking dicine with Mo Xiuchen, she would never suspect anything.
However, the secrets ca out, and it was all clearly stated on the front page headlines that day.
“If Ranran doesn’t believe , I will tell her the truth.”
The light in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes slightly shifted, like a sudden weight dropped onto his chest, pausing his breath montarily.
“Play it by ear, you should rest early too. Ranran didn’t sleep on the plane and you won’t either. Stop thinking and go to sleep.”
“Alright, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.”
Mo Xiuchen rubbed his forehead. Just as Gu Kai said, Ranran couldn’t sleep on the plane due to worry. He felt even worse than her as he was worried about both Xiaoxiao and Ranran.
If it weren’t for Gu Kai and the others rescuing Xiaoxiao in the nick of ti, Wen Ran would definitely have offered herself in exchange for Xiaoxiao. She would never let Xiao Wenqing hurt her.
Ever since she said those words, he had been restless.
He understood Ranran’s feelings. If Ranran was the one who ended up in Xiao Wenqing’s hands, he would agree to die if Xiao Wenqing demanded it, because he couldn’t bear to see Ranran hurt.
After hanging up the phone, Mo Xiuchen put out his half-finished cigarette, left his study room and brushed his teeth in the bathroom to get rid of the sll of smoke from his body. Only then did he return to the bed.
Wen Ran was sound asleep. After he lay down, he gently held her in his arms. Wen Ran made a small noise and naturally wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his chest and continuing her beautiful dream.
Mo Xiuchen smiled, gently kissed her forehead and holding her in his arms, fell into a deep sleep shortly after.
When dawn broke, they awoke.
When Wen Ran opened her eyes in the morning, the first thing she saw was Mo Xiuchen’s handso face, up close.
Lingering around her nose was a familiar and refreshing masculine scent. Mo Xiuchen was still asleep, his thick lashes casting a small shadow over his profound eyes.
As he slept, his countenance was warm and peaceful unlike his usually cold and sharp deanor. His handso features softened and his intelligence seed concealed. At that mont, there was sothing about him that made your heart ache.
Wen Ran stared at him in a trance, her clear, bright eyes unknowingly filled with warmth.
She smiled faintly, gently raising her hand to caress his handso face. Her delicate fingers traced down his sexy thin lips, her thumb softly brushing over his thick eyebrows. The smile in her eyes gradually beca playful.
Just as she was having fun, his shut eyes suddenly snapped open.
Wen Ran’s hand still lingered on his face. She was taken aback as their eyes locked, surprise widening her eyes.
“Did you enjoy yourself?”
Mo Xiuchen smiled, his eyes holding a trace of amusent. His deep voice was incredibly pleasant.
Wen Ran paused for a mont before suddenly smiling again.
“When did you wake up, and why were you pretending to be asleep?”
Catching her hand, Mo Xiuchen gently said: “If I hadn’t pretended to be asleep, how would I know that Ranran likes my face so much? If you hadn’t been tickling , I wouldn’t have wanted to open my eyes.”
Wen Ran’s face flushed. She didn’t just touch his face, she had kissed him, and even murmured so childish things.
She shot him a glare and withdrew her hand. “You were pretending so well, I was totally fooled by you.”
“Haha!”
Mo Xiuchen laughed heartily. Seeing Wen Ran sit up, he suddenly reached out to pull her back, flipping over so he was on top, staring ardently at her blushing face, he murmured: “Ranran, you’ve had your fun, now isn’t it my turn?”
Wen Ran’s heart skipped a beat. His muscular body pressing down on her, she was acutely aware of his warmth and hardness. “That’s not the sa at all. I was just touching you a bit. Xiuchen, it’s late now. We should have breakfast and go to the hospital to pick up Xiaoxiao.”
“But, you’ve sparked a fla, and I’m uncomfortable now. What should we do?”
He had been repressing it all this while, waiting to see how long she could keep playing. But this little girl kept touching and kissing his face, spouting nonsense, having more and more fun. Until she said that in the next life he would be the woman and she would be the man, he couldn’t resist opening his eyes.
Wen Ran gave a rueful smile. “Xiuchen, I didn’t know you were awake. If I knew, I definitely wouldn’t have provoked you.”
“You slept soundly last night. I thought you had a good rest.”
Mo Xiuchen, his palm gently brushed her cheek, his hot breath sprinkling on her cheek, seeping into her lungs as she inhaled.
“Well then, don’t take too long.”
Wen Ran hesitated for a mont, unsure if it was the discomfort of his caresses or if she couldn’t bear to see him in distress, but she finally agreed.
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes darkened dramatically and his sexy Adam’s apple bobbed. His husky voice called out ‘Ranran’ before he lowered his head to tenderly kiss her lips.
Wen Ran whimpered softly, her hands wrapping around his neck to respond instinctively. Mo Xiuchen stilled before the kiss deepened, becoming frantic, urgent. The temperature in the room surged through the passionate kiss…
When it was over, Mo Xiuchen held Wen Ran and went to the bathroom. After cleaning her up, they erged locked in an embrace.
After their intimate encounter, their feelings for each other deepened.
They got dressed and held hands as they went downstairs to have breakfast. After drinking their dicine, Mo Xiuchen drove Wen Ran to the hospital.
Wen Ran accompanied Xiaoxiao as she was discharged and returned ho.
Mo Xiuchen ordered Qing Yang and Qing Feng to accompany them and then drove to the company himself.
Having been away from the company for so long, everything was left to Mo Zixuan. Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng were managing things. Neither Qin Mu or Luo Haofeng would allow Mo Zixuan to roam freely before Mo Xiuchen officially stepped down.
Therefore, unless he officially resigned, the position of CEO was still secure.
When Mo Xiuchen arrived at the company, Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu were already waiting in his office. He walked in, sat directly on the couch.
“Xiuchen, these are all the cases in recent tis. Take your ti to look through them.”
Luo Haofeng pointed to a stack of docunts on the coffee table and said with a devilish grin.
Qin Mu just lightly curled his lips in a soft smile, picked up his cup and elegantly took a sip, toying with his cup in his hand.
Mo Xiuchen briefly looked at the top docunt before closing it again. He looked at Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng and calmly announced, “I have decided to resign as CEO and let Mo Zixuan take over.”
“Now?”
Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, looking at Mo Xiuchen in surprise.
Luo Haofeng had a similar expression of surprise as he scrutinized Mo Xiuchen: “Xiuchen, we have not yet captured Wu Tianyi and Fu Jingyi, and now you want to let go. What will you use to fight them when the ti cos?”
