Chapter 38: You’re Not Allowed to Like Other Men

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“If I were to like someone, I would only like you, not another woman.” When Mo Xiuchen said this, he didn’t say so in a gentle and affectionate tone, but in a calm and slightly indifferent manner instead, so she couldn’t help but believe him.
His words once again messed up the rhythm of Wen Ran’s heartbeat.
Even she herself could hear the sound of her heart beating. In the midst of her heart’s inexplicably fast beating, there seemed to be a trace of emotion that she didn’t understand.
He paused for a second, then added, “So, except for me, you’re not allowed to like other men.”
“I don’t like other men,” Wen Ran quickly retorted. That was the truth. Ever since the day they received the certificate, there was no other man in her heart, not even Mo Zixuan.
“Drive.”
Mo Xiuchen’s countenance then changed. He didn’t smile, but he was giving off a positive vibe. He watched Wen Ran as she moved and noticed her fingers. “I will accompany you to pick out a ring this weekend,” he announced. “Since you don’t wear a ring, it’s easy for others to assume that you’re still single.”
Today, two people had mistakenly thought that Wen Ran was still single. First, Bai Xiaoxiao’s date, that annoying man who wanted to date her instead. The second was Cheng Jia. The former was really unaware, while the latter was deliberate.
Wen Ran lowered her head to fasten her seat belt. When she heard his words, she paused for a while; and, remembering what Cheng Jia had said in the restroom, she agreed.
As Wen Ran drove, she started to make small talk. “I heard Special Assistant Tan say that the new drug developed by H City’s Pharmaceutical Factory had a problem. Was it resolved?”
“Yes, it was basically resolved,” Mo Xiuchen replied. “Someone added something to the medicine. Fortunately, it was discovered early. If it was used in clinical practice, it would cause a big problem.”
Wen Ran was startled when she heard that. “Have you found out who did it?” she asked worriedly.
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes were filled with certainty, and the expression on his face was serious. “The evidence is being collected so that person would face charges.”

When the Aston arrived at MS Corporation, Tan Mu was waiting at the entrance. When he saw Mo Xiuchen’s car pull over, he immediately walked towards the drop-off bay.
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed slightly. Since Tan Mu was waiting here, there must be something wrong.
He reminded Wen Ran, “Drive carefully,” then opened the door and got out of the car.
Tan Mu greeted him and wasted no time and informed him, “Xiuchen, Cheng Jia is now in the chairman’s office, and the chairman’s wife is also there. Ah-Kai said you will be coming soon, so I waited for you here.”
Mo Xiuchen didn’t respond. Turning his head to look at the roadside and seeing Wen Ran about to leave, he told Qin Mu, “Let’s talk inside.”
People greeted Mo Xiuchen as he walked into the hallway. He didn’t pay attention to them or returned their greetings.
“Ah-Kai sent Cheng Jia to the company?”
“Yes, Ah-Kai said that when he was on his way to send Cheng Jia back to Nanqin, she received a call from the chairman, who asked her to come to the company,” Tan Mu related to Mo Xiuchen. “Although the chairman didn’t ask about Cheng Jia before this, he called her today, so he must have found out her identity.”
Mo Xiuchen snorted as he stood in front of the elevator. “If he knows it, then so be it.”
Tan Mu pressed a button, and Mo Xiuchen asked, “Will the chairman and his wife make things difficult for Cheng Jia?”
Both stepped into the elevator, and the doors closed. Mo Xiuchen inquired worriedly, “Before Mo Zixuan took over ‘Nanqin’, Xiao Wenqing was taking care of it. Do you think she has a reason to make things difficult for Cheng Jia?”
Both men didn’t speak until the elevator stopped and the doors opened.
