Chapter 404: Chapter 404

"What does it matter if I fell in love? And what does it matter if I didn’t?" The man seemed unbothered, always proficient at hiding his emotions. Now, he was all the more impenetrable, his face adorned with a cold smile, as if he truly hadn’t taken the matter to heart.

However, who can see the turmoil in his heart?

"If you have fallen for her, then go win her back. Otherwise, are you planning to remain a bachelor forever?" Lu Jingchen paused, then as if a thought struck him, he laughed and said, "But based on your own qualities, even just by your looks, without considering your fortune, there are enough women in An City who would marry you to circle the Ring River several times. If not with Ning Wan, just find any woman and get married."

Xi Mohan glanced at him disdainfully, and with a cold laugh retorted, "I don’t even want Ning Yan’er, do you think I would care for any other woman?"

Lu Jingchen, "...Well then, remain a bachelor."

In terms of looks, although Ning Yan’er is also quite beautiful, she still falls a little short compared to Ning Wan.

In terms of status, not many in An City could match the heir of the Ning Family, but if it were back when Ning Wan was just the second daughter of the Ning Family, she would still have been more noble than Ning Yan’er.

After all, originally the headship of the Ning family was in the hands of Ning Wan’s parents. But after the tragic accident that claimed their lives, it passed to the parents of Ning Yan’er.

However, nobody expected that the parents of Ning Yan’er would act so ruthlessly. Even though they held half of the shares in the Ning Group, they did not spare Ning Wan, coveting the shares she held and even went as far to drive her out of the Ning Family.

Towards Ning Yan’er, and even her parents, Lu Jingchen couldn’t muster any favorable feelings, but since Xi Mohan had been involved with them, feeling somewhat obligated and therefore, he never showed his distaste.

"Do you plan never to marry?" Lu Jingchen raised an eyebrow at him, directly posing the question.

Xi Mohan’s eyes dimmed slightly as he spoke, "I don’t have such plans for now."

Originally, when he was with Ning Yan’er, there were only two reasons; one was because among the daughters of the wealthy families in An City, she seemed the most suitable to be the Young Mistress of the Xi Family, yet at that time, they didn’t consider marriage.

The second reason was because he couldn’t have the love he desired with Wanwan, and Ning Yan’er was her cousin...

Lu Jingchen suddenly lost any desire to continue the conversation, stood up directly, and said, "Forget it, it’s your own business and it’s not appropriate for me to comment. I need to get back to the office."

"It seems there is no possibility between you and Wanwan now; don’t forget that she just recently lost a child that belonged to both of you in a car accident."

After picking up his car keys and phone, he took a few steps, then stopped and turned to the man still sitting motionless, "But if you do really want to be with her, you might as well think of how to bridge the gaps and clear the misunderstandings between you. Otherwise, by the time she truly doesn’t want you anymore, you will regret it too late."

Until Lu Jingchen left, Xi Mohan hadn’t moved an inch.

[It seems there is no possibility between you and Wanwan now.]

[Don’t forget that she just recently lost a child that belonged to both of you in a car accident.]

[But if you do really want to be with her, you might as well think of how to bridge the gaps and clear the misunderstandings between you. Otherwise, by the time she truly doesn’t want you anymore, you will regret it too late.]

These words echoed in his mind continuously like a curse. After a while, the man slightly narrowed his eyes, but then scoffed coldly, "Hmph!"

Inside the Mu Family’s living room, Wanwan had slept for two hours, then sat on the sofa with Song Qiao, each holding a bag of chips, munching while watching Korean dramas.

"Wanwan, how are things going with that man Xi Mohan?" Song Qiao, unable to suppress her curiosity any longer, tilted her head towards Wanwan and asked.

Wanwan paused, then pretended as if it was nothing significant and continued munching on her chips, answering nonchalantly, "Just as usual, why?"

"Nothing." After a moment’s thought, Song Qiao decided not to tell her about the call from Xi Mohan, thinking that after all, it wasn’t a big deal. A call that lasted just a few words, and it was only him asking if Wanwan was with her, so it didn’t matter whether she told her or not.
