Chapter 633: 632 Mo Xiuchen, how old were you then?

Wen Ran felt a slight jolt in her heart. She buried her face in his chest, her hands clinging tightly to his athletic waist. Their thoughts, to her surprise, were in sync.

If she had lifted her head at that moment, she would have noticed a flicker of reluctance in Mo Xiuchen’s dark eyes.

She leaned against his chest, with one hand tenderly stroking his sexy chest muscles. Her fingers unconsciously started to draw circles on his chest.

“Xiuchen, I heard MS Group is in trouble now. Are you really not going to help?”

Wen Ran leaned in Mo Xiuchen’s arms for a while before lifting her head. Looking into Mo Xiuchen’s eyes with her clear and profound gaze, she realized how handsome he was, so much so that she could never get enough of him.

Mo Xiuchen, with a gentle smile tugging his mouth, looked at her tenderly. “I’ve resigned from there; I have no ties left. Why would I go back?”

“But it still is…”

Wen Ran didn’t finish her sentence, but Mo Xiuchen understood what she was about to say. He smiled and said, “Ranran, are you trying to say that after all, it’s the place I worked at for over a decade?”

Wen Ran nodded.

She knew that Mo Xiuchen wasn’t truly heartless. In fact, he was very emotional and righteous. Otherwise, how would he have such good friends like Older Brother Gu, Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng?

“Ranran, remember when I told you I could still provide for you even after leaving MS Group?”

Mo Xiuchen’s voice was low and mellow.

Wen Ran nodded, “Of course, I remember.”

A trace of reminiscence for the past filled Mo Xiuchen’s deep voice as the smile on his face diminished slightly, “Actually, I never thought about wasting my whole life at the MS Group. When I first joined the company, my only goal was to revenge against the old man and Xiao Wenqing for my mother.”

“Xiuchen!”

Wen Ran’s eyes filled with pain and concern. The hand that was earlier drawing circles on his chest now clutched his large, well-defined hand. Mo Xiuchen flashed his soothing smile at her and said softly, “Ranran, I rarely told you about those things. Now those matters have been resolved. But tonight, I suddenly want to tell you about them. Are you willing to listen?”

Wen Ran pursed her lips. She was a bit puzzled and somewhat bewildered. Was she being overly sensitive for feeling something off about Xiuchen tonight? She didn’t know what was different, but it was a clear feeling.

“Hmm!”

Her voice was soft, but Mo Xiuchen could feel her care and affection for him.

An unconscious fluttering feeling arose in the depths of his heart. He turned his palm over, enveloping her soft little hand within. In his thirty-year life, only his love for this small woman had ever made him feel this attached.

She was the only one who would cherish him so much. Despite him being a man who should protect her and give her the world, she was the small woman who deserved to be loved and cherished.

Just because he mentioned his past, regardless of his attitude, expression, and words, she would always feel pain for him.

Meeting, getting to know, and loving her in this life filled Mo Xiuchen’s heart with gratitude. No matter how long their companionship would last, he would always be thankful to heaven for letting him find her. The days spent with her were the happiest he’s had in his thirty years.

“Ranran, all that’s in the past now. Even if I think about it now, I won’t feel sad. So, you can’t be sad either.”

Mo Xiuchen didn’t want his Ranran to shed tears for him again, so he made a preemptive strike.

“I pledged to my mother’s grave that I would seek vengeance on Xiao Wenqing for killing my mother, and on that man who turned a blind eye while his second wife repeatedly tried to kill me. Despite growing larger, becoming the highest tax contributor in G City, Xiao Wenqing had infiltrated her own people into every department of the MS Group…I managed to infiltrate the company’s network once and read some of the confidential information. I found out that Xiao Wenqing was investing Mo Jingteng’s money elsewhere.”

At that time, he didn’t know about Xiao Wenqing’s affair with Wu Tianyi.

Wen Ran didn’t interrupt him but quietly watched him and listened to him.

His voice remained calm, without hinting any sadness or pain, just pure reminiscing of the past, “Actually, that man had a lot of investments, and it was not strange for Xiao Wenqing to invest elsewhere. However, I found that Xiao Wenqing made these investments behind that man’s back.”

“I was happy at that time, and it aroused my interest. If I had exposed Xiao Wenqing then, perhaps she couldn’t have poisoned that man later. But I hated them at that time. I didn’t expose Xiao Wenqing but instead deliberately displayed my talents outside.”

Wen Ran’s eyes gradually filled with sympathy. She couldn’t help but softly ask, “Xiuchen, how old were you then?”

“Not even eighteen.”

Mo Xiuchen’s gaze was warm and gentle, his mouth curving in a faint smile. He was talking about these things to his beloved woman, and he didn’t want her to feel sad for him.

Nonetheless, she was still upset—upset for his sake.

She imagined what the eighteen-year-old Mo Xiuchen might have been like. He definitely wasn’t as mature as he was now, but growing up in that kind of environment, he definitely wasn’t as naïve as the boys of his age either.

“So, Chairman Mo approached you and asked you to come back to the company, right?”

Wen Ran asked softly, a hint of uncontrollable ache in her voice.

Mo Xiuchen nodded with a slight smile. His brows hinted at a trace of pride — if he wanted to do something, he would definitely do it.

He wanted to join MS Group. All he needed was to let Mo Jing see his talent, and he would actively seek him out, “He wanted me to join his company, so I discussed the terms with him.”

Wen Ran didn’t ask anymore. She had already guessed this part.

Mo Xiuchen’s path to revenge was actually a difficult and long thorny path. It was not as if he could avenge his mother immediately after joining MS Group.

“Once you joined the company, Xiao Wenqing must have made things difficult for you in every possible way.”

“Yes, Xiao Wenqing did everything she could to make things difficult for me, not just at work. After I concluded the first business deal creating the first profit for the company, she once again hired some people to assassinate me. That time, Ah Mu got hurt because of me.”

His speech slowed down at this point. His voice had an unfamiliar emotion that Wen Ran couldn’t understand.

During that incident, Qin Mu was injured because of him, but he shielded Qin Mu at a critical moment…

“Luo Haofeng, Qin Mu, and my brother, they are as close to you as your own brothers. They must have experienced those dangers with you. It’s because you are worth it.”
