Chapter 914: As long as she’s alive
Wen Ran was startled.
Mo Xiuchen lowered his eyelids, and Bo Yi’s lips were pressed into a thin line.
Wen Ran didn’t remain stunned for too long. After coming to her senses, she took Mo Xiuchen’s hand, her voice gentle and soothing, like the autumn breeze brushing past the ear, with a comforting charm, “Mo Xiuchen, a person like Mo Jingteng really doesn’t deserve to be your father. You don’t need to be upset because of this.”
Mo Xiuchen slightly lifted his eyelids, a trace of desolation flickering in his deep, pool-like eyes.
He blinked, and the desolation vanished, his handsome face showing a hint of surprise, “Ranran, what I mean is, Mo Jingteng is not my biological father.”
“Mo Xiuchen, I understand,” Wen Ran said tenderly, looking at him. She had understood his meaning earlier, even though she didn’t know exactly what was going on…
She leaned into Mo Xiuchen’s embrace, wrapping her arms around his waist, burying her face in his chest, letting their closeness merge. Her voice was a soft murmur against his chest, “Mo Xiuchen, if you feel pained, just talk about it. No matter who you are, you will always be my Mo Xiuchen.”
The sorrow in Mo Xiuchen’s heart eased somewhat with her words, a warmth seeping into him. He couldn’t help but hold the woman in his embrace tighter—he knew Ranran could certainly soothe his wounds.
No matter whether it was in the past or now.
No matter who he was, she wouldn’t care.
He gently rested his chin on top of her head, breathing in the subtle fragrance of her hair, his emotions gradually calming. His lips parted slightly, and he said slowly, “Ranran, Mo Jingteng told me that the man my mother loved wasn’t him. He fell in love with my mother at first sight, just like with Xiao Wenqing later on. He used all means to marry my mother. When I was very little, I always thought they loved each other.”
Wen Ran didn’t speak, just quietly nestled in his arms.
Her heart overflowed with pity for him. The hardships he had endured were not less than hers. She was tormented by Fu Jingyi for a few years during her childhood, but for the following years, she was treated like a princess.
But for him, it was the opposite.
Aside from a brief happy childhood, his following years were spent growing up amidst the wounds inflicted by the people around him. Had he not been strong, had he not toughened up amidst adversity, he might now be…
At that thought, Wen Ran’s heart clenched with pain.
“Mo Jingteng said that the happiness my mother showed when she was with him was all an act. When I was five, my mother somehow learned that he had killed my biological father. They argued, and she asked for a divorce,”
Mo Xiuchen’s voice was very soft, his tone very mild, revealing no emotion.
His mother loathed Mo Jing for killing the man she loved. In one argument after another, she revealed the truth that he was not Mo Jing’s son. Thus, Mo Jing conducted a DNA test, confirming that Mo Xiuchen was not his biological son, and then he began to seek out other women.
That led to Xiao Wenqing.
There was another who knew the secret apart from Mo Jing.
It was Wen Ran’s father, Gu Yan. When Mo Jing had the paternity test done, he went to Gu Yan, although initially, Gu Yan did not know it concerned him and Mo Xiuchen.
Years later, he learned the truth.
“I never understood. He was so affectionate with me as a child, and he loved my mother so much. Why suddenly did he start having affairs, have children, causing my mother to leap from a building?”
“I also don’t understand. Being his biological son, how could he be so heartless as to watch, wide-eyed, while Xiao Wenqing harmed me, trying over and over to kill me. It turns out, he’s not my biological father. All he has for me is hatred.”
Wen Ran hugged him tightly with empathy, comforting him, “Mo Xiuchen, that was the grudge of the previous generation, it has nothing to do with you, Mo Jingteng doesn’t deserve your sorrow.”
“Before, I also always hated him, but after knowing the truth, I surprisingly didn’t hate him anymore.” Mo Xiuchen looked down, gazing into Wen Ran’s eyes, “Ranran, do you know, Mo Jingteng told me that day, his biggest regret in life was being too soft-hearted towards me. He was such a ruthless and unscrupulous person, yet he said, he always wanted to treat me as his own son, it’s just that he couldn’t convince himself, so he always lived in conflict and struggle.”
“Mo Xiuchen.”
Wen Ran didn’t know what to say for a moment.
“Just like you said, it was the grudge of their generation. My mother did it purposely, for the man she loved, she deliberately told Mo Jingteng that his most beloved son was not his, that his wife had cuckolded him.”
“Mo Xiuchen, all that is in the past now.”
Wen Ran’s eyes became sore, and she suddenly felt some antipathy towards that mother-in-law she had never met, detesting all those who had hurt Mo Xiuchen.
No matter what grudges they had in the past, she should not have used Mo Xiuchen to get revenge on Mo Jing, has she ever thought about the hurt Mo Xiuchen would face?
“Ranran, before I found you, in my heart, there was nothing but hatred.”
Mo Xiuchen hugged Wen Ran tightly, seeking warmth from her. Who says men must be strong? His outward indifference was merely to disguise his own pain.

He too could feel sad, could feel pain.
When Mo Jing disclosed the truth, he had been stunned, speechless for a long while.
On his deathbed, Mo Jing spoke a sentence, unsure if it came from his heart, he said, had he not been aware of his own origins, he would have never let anyone harm him.
Perhaps it was true.
After all, in Mo Xiuchen’s childhood memories, his father once loved him dearly, it’s just that love was stripped away by too much, and it turned into hatred towards him.
He would always remember Mo Jing’s slurred words saying, “Mo Xiuchen, I have tried. Tried hard to treat you as my own son.”
“I was even planning to hand over the company to you, if it weren’t for Wen Ran, we could have been father and son.”
…
Mo Jing had convinced himself that it was Wen Ran who turned Mo Xiuchen against him, refusing to admit that it was his own excessive harm that led them to hate each other, resulting in a failed father-son relationship.
“Ranran, promise me, never leave me.”
Mo Xiuchen hugged her more anxiously, the sadness in his heart turning into the strength in his hands, gradually intensifying. Wen Ran felt a bit of pain from being so tightly enveloped, but she did not struggle, nor did she cry out in pain, she just quietly hugged him back, whispering a promise, “I won’t leave you, never will.”
If before this, Wen Ran still had shadows in her heart, afraid that being with him against her vows would hurt her loved ones, not feeling firm.
Then, at this moment, having listened to Mo Xiuchen’s words, there was not a trace of hesitation left in her heart, she told herself that as long as she, Wen Ran, lived, she would not leave him, she would always be by his side, unless, one day, he left her first.
She wouldn’t let Mo Xiuchen be lonely and alone ever again.
