Chapter 1292: Zhao Mo Ran, Where Are You?

And after he finished speaking, Zhao Mo Ran’s voice was faint, “No need, I’ve passed that age.”

She ultimately did not want to say much, took care of Xun Xun and pulled her clothes ready to sleep, Chu Ci had the heart to say something more but it was not good to disturb the child, after a while, he also lay down…

In the darkness, just as she was about to fall asleep, he suddenly spoke softly: “Zhao Mo Ran, I genuinely want to spend a good life with you.”

She made no sound, as if asleep, but Chu Ci knew she was not because her breathing just became faster, she must have heard him, only pretending not to.

She pretended to sleep, he could only hold her hand, his voice even hoarser: “Say it.”

Zhao Mo Ran finally opened her eyes, looking at Chu Ci in the dark, after a while she sighed: “Why bother, Chu Ci, we’re fine as we are now.”

“I don’t think it’s good enough.” He was indeed gentle, unlike his usual self.

She only felt it was too late… The past between her and him, if she easily fell in love with him, then wouldn’t it be just like in the novels, she, Zhao Mo Ran, wouldn’t just fall for anyone she met.

She thought of Gu Fei, seemed not to love him that much anymore, not even often thought of him, in the end, she was also a worldly woman, or as Mrs. Chu said, she was only survivng with Chu Ci after all, she was fundamentally a heartless person.

She made no sound, just quietly looking at him. After a long time, Chu Ci was somewhat annoyed, gripping her hand tighter: “Mo Ran!”

She responded with a soft voice: “Chu Ci, there are some things I can’t control, nor am I willing to deceive you, I can only say if one day I love you, I will tell you, not hide it from you, okay?”

Maybe it was night, so her voice was somewhat hoarse, but rather seemed mild, which Chu Ci was quite satisfied with. He held her hand again and finally let go of her: “Alright, sleep.”

Zhao Mo Ran exhaled, closed her eyes, too tired and quickly fell asleep. However, Chu Ci did not fall asleep immediately, he stared at her face, only after a long time did he slowly raise his hand to gently stroke her face…

He meant it, he really wanted to live well with her, but he also knew she did not love him, probably for the sake of Xun Xun, and maybe didn’t want to move and feared trouble so continued with him… When he held her, only as her husband did he know how perfunctory she was, he was not satisfied with such a relationship, but to move further as she said she couldn’t control and didn’t want to deceive him.

Chu Ci gazed at her fair face, muttering a few words: “What to do Zhao Mo Ran, I don’t want to let go of you.”

…

Early the next morning, Chu Ci went to the company.

Zhao Mo Ran as usual took care of Xun Xun, in the afternoon she went to do a maintenance treatment. That was the most upscale beauty spa in Beicheng, Chu Ci gave her a super VIP card, in this aspect he never mistreated her, and she knew roughly it was for his own enjoyment, but women always love beauty, he gave it and she didn’t refuse, going for maintenance once a week, so even after having a child, she didn’t show at all, only appeared more youthful than before.

She exited the beauty salon, just got in the car when she received Chu Ci’s call, she hesitated for a moment but answered: “Chu Ci?”

He warmly asked, “Where have you been? The maids said you went out.”

“Just finished a beauty treatment, I’ll be home in a while.” Zhao Mo Ran smiled slightly, saying thus.

Chu Ci had just finished a cooperation discussion, contemplating whether to return to the villa or go to the company, so he asked her: “If you’re out, would you like to have afternoon tea together?”

She thought for a moment and declined: “I’ve been out quite a while, next time.”

Chu Ci remained silent for a while, before speaking hoarsely: “Alright. I will come home earlier tonight.”

When hanging up the phone, he thought they were always different from normal couples.

Over there, Zhao Mo Ran had just hung up the phone, when the car window was knocked, surprised she turned to look and was even more surprised to see Gu Fei standing outside the car.

She stared for a moment, lowered the car window, “Have you been standing here long?”

Gu Fei was dressed more formally than when she had seen him yesterday, seemed to be out for business, but the assistant wasn’t there, probably sent away by him. As she looked at him, he also looked at her, after a while he said hoarsely: “Can we talk a few words?”

Zhao Mo Ran wouldn’t deliberately avoid him, and here was a parking lot, talking in such a place seemed rather ambiguous, so she said calmly: “Let’s go to a coffee shop to talk.”

Saying that, she smiled slightly: “Consider it catching up.”

Gu Fei looked at her for a long time before speaking: “Mo Ran, you’re different now.”

She got out of the car, closed the door: “Really! You think I’m realistic, right? People always have to live in reality, isn’t that good?”
