Wen Ran was still in shock, her senses suddenly overwhelmed by a strong masculine scent. Her pupils dilated and the sliver of reason she finally managed to gather once again dissipated.

A sudden vibration sound caused by a phone ringtone played eerily from the small bedside table. Like an annoying destroyer, it shattered the romantic atmosphere in just an instant.

Frowning, MO Xiuchen let go of Wen Ran and walked over to the bed to pick up the phone, then strode into his dressing room.

Wen Ran felt her legs give way for a moment, but she steadied herself quickly. Her heart was pounding so violently it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest. The tingling sensation on her lips reminded her of what MO Xiuchen had just done.

She couldn’t understand wasn’t he supposed to have issues in that area? How could he…

And yet, just now he…

He didn’t seem unwell at all.

When MO Xiuchen came out of the closet, he was already smartly dressed, his tall figure wrapped in a high-end shirt and trousers. He looked handsome and elegant, his demeanor refined.

Seeing Wen Ran still standing in a daze, he said lightly, “I have something to attend to, you should get some sleep first.”

“Oh!”

Wen Ran mechanically responded, watching MO Xiuchen. Her lips moved as if she wanted to ask something, but didn’t dare to ask.

Seeing her hesitant demeanor, MO Xiuchen’s profound eyes squinted and he asked, “Is there anything else?”

Her face turned red, and she hastily shook her head and waved her hands saying, “No, nothing, just go.”

“Hmm!”

MO Xiuchen’s gaze lingered on her flushed face for a moment, before he got up and strode away.

At eleven in the evening, night life in G city was just starting. In the ‘TIME’ bar, a hedonistic scene unfolded. White-collar workers, bosses, or even the lowest-level workers were, at this time, just a group of lone people seeking solace here.

As MO Xiuchen stepped into ‘TIME’s front door, he spotted Gu Kai sitting in a corner through the dim multi-colored lights, a blonde woman was hitting on him.

Gu Kai ignored the blonde woman, who could only leave in disappointment. MO Xiuchen approached the table and pulled out a chair to sit, joking around, “That woman just now wasn’t bad, why did you ignore her?”

Gu Kai glanced at him, leaned back in his chair, and stared straight at him,

“Was that Cheng Jia the little girl who saved you all those years ago?”

Upon hearing this, MO Xiuchen’s handsome brows furrowed slightly. He picked up a glass of alcohol on the table and downed a gulp, then finally responded slowly, “I’m not sure yet. She said she couldn’t remember anything from her childhood.”

In the morning, MO Xiuchen had called Gu Kai while he was in the operating room and left a message telling him that he had found a girl with a mole on her chin, asking if he wanted to meet her.

Gu Kai had been operating for more than ten hours, and he had immediately sought MO Xiuchen out after finishing his work.

Hearing his words, Gu Kai furrowed his brows and shared his thoughts, “It’s normal that she can’t remember. You were eleven and remember everything, but that little girl was only five.”

“Isn’t five years old old enough to have memories?”

MO Xiuchen’s handsome features held a thoughtful expression. Although Cheng Jia’s age and looks matched his memories of the little girl from his past, her inability to remember made him uncertain.

The most important thing was, he might have already developed feelings for Wen Ran, so his reaction toward Cheng Jia was the same as with any other woman, he didn’t develop any particular feelings for her.

Gu Kai shook his head, “It all depends on the situation. I want to meet this

Cheng Jia..”
