After saying that, Xia Ran kept crying and was unable to say anything.
Mu Hua's heart softened again when she cried. It even pained him to think that she was secretly crying somewhere alone.
But at this point, he had to put an end to it. It would be best for everyone.
"Where are you? I'll have someone bring it to you. You can sign it when you see it's okay, in case there are other problems later." Mu Hua's voice was still cold.
Xia Ran looked into the room with tears in her eyes and reported the name of a hotel. Then, she hung up and started crying alone.
After crying for an unknown period of time, Xia Ran had a headache from crying. There was a knock on the door.
It must be someone sent by Mu Hua. She wiped away her tears and went to open the door. When she saw the man in the suit, she froze. Her voice was hoarse. "Mu Hua?"
Didn't he say he would send someone? Why was he here in person?'
Xia Ran didn't expect this at all.
At this moment, she looked extremely disheveled. Her small face was covered in tears, and her eyes were swollen. Her hair was a little messy, and she was still sobbing.
Mu Hua couldn't take it anymore. He realized that he couldn't bear to see Xia Ran crying in front of him. His heart would ache.
He pulled Xia Ran into his arms, his empty heart instantly feeling a sense of wholeness. "Why are you so disobedient? Must you make me angry?"
Xia Ran was originally upset and angry, but when she was in Mu Hua's arms, these emotions instantly dissipated. She had no resistance to Mu Hua. As long as she approached him, she couldn't help but feel attracted to him.
No matter how angry she was, she would be appeased by Mu Hua's coaxing.
"Mu Hua, are you divorcing me?" Xia Ran cared about this question the most now. She looked up at Mu Hua with red eyes.
She was really afraid of losing Mu Hua.
"Are you stupid? If you don't want a divorce, tell me properly. Don't throw a tantrum, understand? When have I ever rejected you?" Mu Hua reached out and gently wiped away Xia Ran's tears.
He felt frustrated by this little girl's childish temper sometimes, but whenever he saw her, he was able to endure it.
What he couldn't bear was seeing her aggrieved and sad.
Xia Ran felt relieved, but she still had a bottom line. She choked and said seriously, "Mu Hua, if you really want a divorce, I'll agree. I've already understood that those who want to leave can't be forced to stay."
"Yes." Mu Hua hugged her tightly again. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Ranran, didn't you ask me before what I owe Zhu Qian that I have to marry her?"
Xia Ran also reached out and hugged Mu Hua's waist tightly. She replied in a muffled voice, "Yes, I want to know. Are you willing to tell me?"
Mu Hua sighed. "Years ago, I hit her with my car, causing her to have her uterus removed. She'll never be a mother again. I promised her I'd marry her, but for some reason, she went abroad. I thought she wouldn't come back, so I married you. Now, she's suddenly back in the country, and demanding that I fulfill my promise. I can't refuse. Ranran, can you understand?"
This was the first time Mu Hua had confessed his secret to Xia Ran. Xia Ran was stunned.
So this was the reason why Mu Hua had to marry Zhu Qian?
She asked stupidly, "Then… do you love her, Mu Hua?"
Mu Hua answered, "No."
If he had, he would have gone abroad to get her back. And he never would have married another woman.
It was purely his responsibility to take care of Zhu Qian.
Xia Ran suddenly felt a little happier. She leaned into Mu Hua's arms obediently and said in a nasal voice, "Then I'll forgive you. You can only like me in the future. This way, I'll be more obedient and won't make things so difficult for you."
"If you don't listen, I'll spank you!" Mu Hua threatened.
"I'm not afraid!" Xia Ran looked bold.
She was rarely afraid of Mu Hua. She'd had a special kind of trust in him since she'd first met him fifteen years ago.
At that time, she ran out of the orphanage and was targeted by bad people. They almost kidnapped her. In a panic, she ran into the mountains and got lost. She even fell into a pit and almost starved to death. Mu Hua, who happened to be climbing the mountain, saved her and sent her back to the orphanage.
At that time, Mu Hua was fifteen years old and already a handsome young man. His family was very rich and he always gave people the feeling that he was a rich young master. He was very cold and lofty, but he treated Xia Ran very well.
