MO Xiuchen’s lips curved into a gentle smile as he stared quietly at Wen Ran. Her fingers unwittingly brushed against his. It was a touch unlike the cool, hard metal of a ring, a touch that was soft and warm, seeping into his skin, penetrating his heart, a feel that surprisingly reminded him of the little girl’s touch from the past.

Back then, it was too dark for him to clearly see her face, he only saw a mole on her chin and heard her voice, sweet and soft as marshmallow, which sounded incredibly pleasant, even in those circumstances.

She cried out ‘run’, and he promised to ‘come back for her’. Now, decades later, he may have found her, but he couldn’t help but feel that the person he’s found, wasn’t the same little girl from his past.

Contrarily, he felt that Wen Ran resembled the little girl who once saved him more than Cheng Jia did – not in looks but in feeling.

“It’s on!”

Wen Ran’s soft voice pulled MO Xiuchen from his drifting thoughts. He pulled her hand over, the hands wearing the rings next to each other, two glittering rings casting their brilliant shine on their different fingers, like a pair of joyful lovers, bringing an inexplicable joy to the viewers.

MO Xiuchen let out a soft laugh, his bright and joyful voice flowed from his lips, “It really does look lovely.”

After dinner, as they finished ascending the stairs together, he told her they would be going back to the MO mansion for a meal this weekend.

“Zhou Lin told me this afternoon that Cheng Jia would also be going,” she said.

Wen Ran stood under the bright chandelier, her petite face looked up at MO Xiuchen.

MO Xiuchen nodded, his expression unchanged, he simply replied, “Yes, she’s going too.”

After a short pause in his speech, MO Xiuchen explained further. “Previously, Cheng Jia worked at Nan Qin Hotel. Starting tomorrow, she will be working at the head office as Qin Mu’s assistant.”

A spark of surprise flitted through Wen Ran’s clear eyes, but she gave a small smile and said, “She’s your lifesaver, it’s only right to reciprocate. And now that you mention it, she and I are rather similar. She lost her memories from before she was six due to a sickness, just like me.”

“Did you also lose your memories from before you were six due to a sickness?”

MO Xiuchen was slightly surprised; he’d investigated Wen Ran thoroughly once he felt an inexplicable familiarity with her from a banquet three months ago. But he didn’t know, that she had been sick and lost her memory too?

Wen Ran’s lips twanged slightly as she said softly, “Yes, but apart from my family, no one else knows.”

“Why?”

MO Xiuchen asked curiously, his slender eyes looking intently at Wen Ran.

“My parents advised against telling anyone, perhaps they were afraid that other children might ridicule me.”

Wen Ran gave an indifferent smile. At first, she was confused, but later figured it didn’t really matter. It would be odd to tell everyone about her sickness and subsequent memory loss at the age of six.

With that thought, she put it all behind her.

“What is there to ridicule? Few people can recall events from before they were six. You go take a bath, I need to deal with some documents in the study.”

Yet again, MO Xiuchen’s heart swayed towards Wen Ran. Both of them had suffered an illness resulting in memory loss. But when Cheng Jia spoke about her lost childhood memories with a tone of self-recrimination, he had doubts. Now, despite Wen Ran talking about it with a smile, his heart was filled with an uncontrollable pity for her.

He even raised his hand to pat her head, the underlying affection in his voice was something he himself was unaware of.

Wen Ran’s heart skipped a beat due to his unexpected move of intimate familiarity, her face flushing slightly, she nodded and scurried into the bathroom as if to escape..
