The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1303 - 663: Mo Han & Wanwan Arc – He Wants Her to Stay by His Side

Xi Mohan’s expression remained unchanged. He glanced at Ning Wan with indifferent eyes and opened his thin lips to speak again, "If you want to know the truth about your parents’ accident, you’d better eat obediently, or I won’t tell you."

When he spoke, he had a completely expressionless look, his tone was flat, without a trace of threat.

But in Ning Wan’s ears, she could hear the man’s threatening tone.

Ning Wan, who had been trying hard to control her emotions, suddenly felt a pang in her heart, her big eyes fixed on Xi Mohan in front of her, blinking her eyes, and in the next second, her eyes that were not red before became red again.

Xi Mohan took a look and immediately felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He secretly realized something was wrong, and sure enough, within less than a minute, Ning Wan’s tears began to fall again. In an instant, her little face looked extremely aggrieved as she looked at him, as if... he had bullied her.

Xi Mohan suddenly had an urge to curse, his face dark and gloomy as he looked at the girl in front of him, putting down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands. Yet, he couldn’t vent his frustration at her, his face showing a few hints of awkwardness, but he still forced himself to hold a straight face and said, "I just asked you to eat properly, don’t start crying at the drop of a hat, can you? People who don’t know might think I’ve bullied you. Ning Wan... don’t think you’re the biggest today, don’t think I won’t dare to do something about you."

Upon hearing this, Ning Wan’s tears fell even more fiercely, yet she hiccupped and said, "You... you’re just... just bullying me... uh..."

How could this man be so bad? He only knew how to bully her.

Xi Mohan, "..." How did he bully her?

For a moment, Xi Mohan didn’t know how to counter that, so he could only look at her with a dark face, realizing that she was genuinely crying even harder, she seemed inclined to continue crying.

The veins on the man’s forehead started to pulse violently, like he was desperately suppressing his emotions, saying, "Ning Wan, if you continue crying, you don’t need to know the truth about your parents’ matter."

Hearing the man’s words, Ning Wan, who originally planned to continue crying and stubbornly refused to give in, was suddenly choked, roughly wiping her tears, daring not to cry anymore, biting her lip pitifully as she looked at him, "I... I won’t cry... uh... I won’t cry anymore."

Seeing her like this, an unusual feeling instantly arose in Xi Mohan’s heart, and although he didn’t say anything more, he instructed, "Eat your meal, eat half of each dish in front of you. After you finish, I’ll tell you the truth about your parents’ accident. If you don’t finish, I won’t tell you."

Upon hearing the man’s command, the girl immediately obediently picked up the bowls and chopsticks in front of her and started eating again, though she was still sniffling due to the recent crying, her nose sour as if wanting to cry again, but she was already making an effort to suppress her emotions.

Seeing Ning Wan obediently eating her meal, the man didn’t continue being harsh, but being flustered by Ning Wan’s demeanor, his original appetite was gone, so he didn’t pick up his bowls and chopsticks again. Instead, he called the maid to bring up wine glasses and red wine, and he started drinking.

"..."

When Ning Wan followed Xi Mohan’s instruction to eat half of each dish, it was already half an hour later. After eating the last grain of rice in the bowl, she put down the bowls and chopsticks and looked at Xi Mohan opposite her, with a hopeful look, "I’ve finished eating, can you tell me now?"

Xi Mohan still held a wine glass in his hand. The red liquid in the glass was swirled lightly by his elegantly defined hand, causing beautiful ripples in the glass.

Upon hearing Ning Wan’s words, the man’s movements halted for a moment, then he finished drinking the red wine in the glass in one gulp, placed the glass on the table, and said to Ning Wan, "I can tell you the truth, but you need to agree to one thing."

Ning Wan found herself increasingly unable to understand Xi Mohan, or rather, she felt as if she had never understood this man.

She opened her mouth, her face showing an expression of surprise, having already calmed her emotions down. After taking a deep breath, she spoke, "What do you want me to agree to? As long as I can do it, I’ll agree."

She knew that Xi Mohan could investigate her parents’ cause of death as more than just an accident. He absolutely knew things unknown to others.

And now in An City, besides Lu Jingchen from the Lu Family, Xi Mohan seemed to be the only one with the greatest ability.

Indeed, if she offended Xi Mohan today, there might really be no one to help her in the future, and no way to find out this so-called truth.

Ning Wan, though still a bit naive, was not stupid. She also understood the reasoning, so she tried her best not to offend Xi Mohan.

Seeing Ning Wan’s wonderfully obedient appearance, Xi Mohan’s previously not-so-great mood suddenly improved. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up as he spoke, "From now on, stay by my side. Not only will I tell you about your parents’ matter, but I will help you too. However, I won’t help you avenge them; I will help you investigate the truth and results, how about it?"

His tone was remarkably calm, as usual, without any emotional bullying, like he was saying ’the weather is nice today.’

However, upon hearing his words, Ning Wan was already dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning, her face full of shock and disbelief as she looked at him.

What... what did he just say?

Stay by his side?

Her mind suddenly felt blank as she looked at him with a shocked expression, naively asking, "What did you say?"

Xi Mohan’s brows furrowed slightly in displeasure, he responded with a question instead, "Didn’t you hear what I just said?"

Ning Wan nodded, but soon quickly shook her head.

Xi Mohan’s brows tightly knit together, showing a trace of impatience on his face, but he didn’t directly storm off. Usually, he would never repeat his words twice, but now he suppressed the urge to strangle this little girl and repeated his words word for word, "From now on, stay by my side. Not only will I tell you about your parents’ matter, but I will help you too. However, I won’t help you avenge them, but investigate the truth and results..."
