Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 1008: With You (153)

Xu Mohan listened to her quietly, and indeed such an image came to his mind. Thinking of his former son, Xu Zhuozheng, his heart began to ache faintly.

"What’s wrong?"

"I thought of Zhuozheng."

Jun Xiangyi gently hugged him, resting her chin on his shoulder, "Don’t be sad."

Xu Mohan turned his head, affectionately nuzzling her face, "It’s so good to have you by my side."

Jun Xiangyi turned around and jumped onto his back, "I want to wash my face and brush my teeth."

Xu Mohan carried her to the bathroom, squeezed toothpaste for her, and placed her on the sink.

She sat there, barefoot.

He went to find her thick socks and slippers, putting them on her one by one, "It’s winter now, don’t go barefoot, or you’ll catch a cold."

Jun Xiangyi rinsed her mouth and washed her face, pulling out a tissue to wipe her face.

Today, they ate hotpot. The spiciness made Jun Xiangyi’s eyes tear up, but she continued to eat with enthusiasm.

As a top food lover, one cannot waste food.

Xu Mohan saw her lips reddened by the spice and handed her hot coconut juice, "Have some."

Jun Xiangyi gulped down more than half a cup in one go, "Refreshing!"

She glanced at his phone vibrating on the table, "There’s a call, why don’t you answer it?"

"It’s Old Ten calling. It’s probably nothing good; might as well not answer."

Jun Xiangyi was delighted, "He’s the most annoying. If he knew you were with me, he’d probably be furious."

"There’s nothing he can do but stew in his anger." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"That day when you came back from my father’s birthday and saw me, what did you think?"

"I thought, perhaps this is fate." Xu Mohan mused, "Actually, when I cleaned your body, part of it was genuinely for your health, to prevent infection. But another part was my selfish intention—I thought, if I did this, I’d have to take responsibility for you, right?"

Jun Xiangyi laughed, "I really couldn’t tell, Old Xu, that you’d play such a trick."

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

The phone started vibrating again.

Xu Mohan didn’t answer it again.

After a while, Shan Langyuan sent him a message.

[Third Brother, a very urgent matter! Help!]

Seeing the message, Xu Mohan called him back.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Third Brother, I’ve been following your instructions and not contacting third sister-in-law... ah no... Nan Yuesheng, but today I ran into her at the entrance of Qin Garden."

"And then?"

"Then she said she wanted to see you and asked me to help. I said I didn’t know where you were. She asked me to take her to the Netherworld to wait for you. I politely refused, but she said... if I didn’t take her to see you, she’d kill herself in front of me." Shan Langyuan felt very troubled, "What should I do, Third Brother?"

"Where are you now?"

"Still at the entrance of Qin Garden. Should I give her your new number?"

"No need. Turn on the speaker; I’ll say a few words to her." Xu Mohan instructed.

Shan Langyuan agreed over the phone.

"Mohan." Nan Yuesheng’s voice came through, "Can we meet?"

"I don’t think there’s any need to meet. Whatever you have to say, say it directly."

Upon hearing his voice, Nan Yuesheng’s eyes reddened, and her throat caught, "I miss you. I’m going crazy missing you. I can’t live without you."

"Sheng’er, we... it’s impossible anymore." Xu Mohan didn’t avoid letting Jun Xiangyi hear, "I’ve already remarried."

Nan Yuesheng was taken aback, then screamed hysterically, "Xu Mohan, I haven’t remarried, and you actually did?! When we divorced, I made a third condition which was this, and you said you’d try to fulfill it. Has it been so little time, and this is how you try to fulfill it?!"
