Wen Ran responded with a simple “Oh”, unable to continue the conversation. Seeing his indifference and unwillingness to chat, she carefully thought and then explained, “Next time I encounter Mo Zixuan, I will avoid him and walk away.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiuchen finally turned his head. His profound and sharp gaze rested on her face for half a second, then he turned away again, not making any reply.
In the morning, he truly was out of town on business.
He was originally due to return after several days, but after receiving a call from Qin Mu at noon, where he shared her conversation with Zhou Mingfu, and mentioned her defense of his ‘masculine dignity’ and the likelihood of Zhou Mingfu not backing off, he made a change of plans and flew back that afternoon!
Wen Ran saw him glance at herself and then turn his head away without uttering a word, she believed him to be distrustful. She pursed her lips, her voice a bit more definitive than before, “I’m serious, I have married you and will not have unclear relationships with other men.”
“Would you be scared of spending a lifetime alone?”
Mo Xiuchen suddenly reduced the car’s speed, turning his head to gaze fiercely at her, as if he was trying to peer into her heart.
Yesterday, he had sought her out, willing to help her father’s company overcome its difficulties, on the condition that she marry him. This topic had not been discussed at that time. She had been harassed by a group of suppliers and without thinking too much, she had agreed to him.
A surprising look flashed in Wen Ran’s eyes, she was somewhat stunned that Mo Xiuchen would ask such a question.
Although the whole of G City was aware of his impotency, it’s a matter related to a man’s dignity and every man cared about it.
As she looked at his thin lips, cold handsome side profile, she compassionately thought, him having that condition, must be really tough for him.
With this in mind, her gaze on him softened, she kindly spoke in a gentler tone, “What is there to fear? There are many couples in the world without sex who lead equally happy lives. Since I have married you, I will adhere to my wifely duties and strive to be a qualified wife. You can rest assured on this point.”
She is not a person who forgets about kindness received. Although their marriage was out of necessity, she was brought up by her parents to be trustworthy and kind-hearted.
All of a sudden, Mo Xiuchen smiled!
He turned to look at Wen Ran. Her beautiful face was full of determination as if fearing he would not believe her.
However, her words were soft and gentle, with a subtle soothing undertone.
For some reason, he believed her. Believed that she would keep her promise and even felt a long-lost warmth in his heart.
Wen Ran was slightly dazed by Mo Xiuchen’s smile. This man, with his incredibly handsome face and defined features, his lips curving into a slight smile, was not as icy as before. His noble and elegant appearance was soul-stealing.
Influenced by him, there was a hint of a smile in her clear limpid eyes and she spoke in a lighter tone, “So, you are not mad about what happened earlier, are you?”

The atmosphere inexplicably improved a lot after. Although Mo Xiuchen was quiet, Wen Ran was quite talkative. She took the initiative to chat, and before they knew it, they were at their home.
Out of politeness, just before they got out of the car she asked, “Would you like to come in for a glass of water, or will you wait here for me while I pack away some clothes?”
Before she finished speaking, Mo Xiuchen’s mobile phone suddenly rang. He unbuckled his seatbelt and reached for his phone, his thin lips forming three words:
