“Uhm, fasten your seat belt!” Wen Ran reminded her passenger.

Wen Ran sat in the driver’s seat and was about to fasten the seat belt when she saw the man next to her with his eyes closed. He seemed to have no intention of wearing his seat belt. She reminded him again, “Seat belt, please.”

“You help me,” he teased.

Mo Xiuchen didn’t open his eyes. Wen Ran paused and stared at Mo Xiuchen when she heard him. Her brows furrowed. She wasn’t sure if he actually meant that.

Then he raised a hand and rubbed his temple gently, as if to tell her that he was tired. He seemed not too keen to put his seat belt on.

Wen Ran hesitated for a few seconds. Considering what happened in the morning, she knew that if it weren’t for his help, she would have never intimidated that group of dissident executives. She owed him one.

Upon seeing that he was really tired, she softly replied, “Okay,” then leaned over to him and helped him fasten his seat belt.

Since she leaned too close, she noticed how good he smelled. She briefly inhaled to savor his scent. It was intoxicating. With his handsome too close to hers, her heart beat faster.

Mo Xiuchen opened his eyes, and her fair face greeted him. She smelled familiar. It was the scent of a shower gel, and he felt refreshed it reached his nose.


“Have you buckled a seat belt for a man before?”

Wen Ran was lowering her head to help him buckle the seat belt when his warm breath touched her ears. She trembled, and she instinctively raised her head. Not wanting Mo Xiuchen to sit up straight with his body leaning against the back of the seat, she leaned forward instead. She felt something warm across her forehead. When she realized what it was, her face blushed and broke away.

Mo Xiuchen was also a little surprised. Unexpectedly, she suddenly raised her head, and his lips accidentally kissed her forehead.

Although it was just flicking contact, his eyes widened in surprise.

The temperature inside the car rose in an instant.

Silkily warm… Romantically ambiguous… Instantly, they both felt awkward.

Wen Ran didn’t dare to look into his eyes. In a panic, she avoided eye contact and tried to retreat to her seat, but he quickly grabbed her wrist.

“You haven’t answered my question yet,” Mo Xiuchen insisted.

Mo Xiuchen looked at her. The large palm that held her wrist was slender and warm. Compared with her soft skin, his fingertips were a bit rough, and his inadvertent rubbing made her heart beat faster.

She didn’t know if it was because of the ‘kiss’ or because of the warmth of his fingertips penetrated into her skin and then found its way to her heart. Wen Ran’s heart was beating frantically, and she was unable to calm down.

“No.”


Like a gentle breeze, her voice was soothing, and it expelled the awkward atmosphere of the car.

“Then in the future, you will be responsible for helping me buckle my seat belt.”

Mo Xiuchen’s words surprised Wen Ran. From her understanding, it had always been the man who was helping his partner wear a seatbelt, not the other way around. Why was he asking her to help him wear his seat belt? Did he really want her to help him, or was this some sort of ‘test’?

“Not willing to?”

His eyebrows furrowing slightly, Mo Xiuchen stared into her dumbfounded face.

“Of course, I’m willing to,” Wen Ran responded, still nervous.

Thinking that it might be because of his health that he made such a request to her, Wen Ran agreed. This wasn’t an overbearing request anyway. It was just to help him wear a seatbelt, so why would she be unwilling to do so? After all, he was her husband.

“Drive.”

Mo Xiuchen then relaxed, and a small smile formed on his lips.

Wen Ran ignored his enchanting smile, took a deep breath, bowed her head, and fastened his seat belt before starting the engine.
