I don't know how much time passed, but Xiao Zichen, who was sitting on the terrace, suddenly heard a scream. He was about to doze off while sitting and suddenly woke up.

The sound came from the study, and Xiao Zichen rushed over immediately.

At the same time, Wu Ma also came to the study.

Mo Yurou leaned her head on the desk and slept restlessly. She waved one hand in the air, her expression was tense, and her eyes were closed tightly. It was obvious at a glance that she was having a nightmare.

"Xiaorou, don't be afraid, Mother Wu is here, everything has passed."

As soon as Wu Ma saw Mo Yurou's appearance, she immediately stepped forward and hugged Mo Yurou in her arms.

"Xiaorou, go to sleep, Mother Wu will stay with you."

Wu Ma comforted and patted Mo Yurou gently.

Mo Yurou seemed to feel a warm embrace and slowly calmed down, then she snuggled tightly into Wu Ma's arms like a helpless child.

"Wu Ma, Xiaorou is scared."

"Be good, Xiaorou is not afraid, Mother Wu will protect Xiaorou."

Finally, calm returned to the study room.

Xiao Zichen was a little surprised when he saw all this. Mo Yurou just now looked like a child who had not grown up.

Seeing Mo Yurou's frightened and nervous expression just now, shouting and struggling in the nightmare, Xiao Zichen actually felt a trace of pity.

"Mr. Xiao, could you please help me carry the lady back to the room?"

Wu Ma finally comforted Mo Yurou, and seeing her sleeping peacefully in her arms, she said to Xiao Zichen.

Xiao Zichen nodded, then walked over and gently picked up Mo Yurou.

Suddenly leaving the warm embrace, Mo Yurou seemed to be in a dream, frowning slightly, Xiao Zichen's hand tightened, letting Mo Yurou lean tightly against his chest, and then stood motionless until Mo Yurou

The frown between his eyebrows relaxed slightly, and then he walked out of the study.

After carrying Mo Yurou back to the bedroom, Xiao Zichen carefully placed her on the bed. Mother Wu also covered Mo Yurou with a quilt attentively.

Maybe the bed was a little cold, so Mo Yurou slept a little unsteadily while lying on the bed, letting out soft hums. Wu Ma could only bend down and comfort Mo Yurou until she fell into a deep sleep again.

At this time, Xiao Zichen stretched out his hand with a tissue in his hand. Seeing this, Wu Ma immediately stopped him.

"Let me do it!"

Saying that, Wu Ma took the tissue and gently wiped the wet tears from the corners of Mo Yurou's eyes.

"I just bothered Mr. Xiao, I disturbed your rest."

Wu Ma said politely.

"What's wrong with her?"

Xiao Zichen felt that Mo Yurou's situation just now was very abnormal.

After hearing this, Wu Ma hesitated a little, then finally sighed and said.

"It's the sequelae of that traffic accident, but the lady hasn't had nightmares for a long time. Maybe she's too tired recently!"

Wu Ma explained lightly.

"Mr. Xiao, let's go out!"

With that said, Wu Ma had already left the bedside.

Xiao Zichen glanced at Mo Yurou, who was curled up in the bed. It was the first time that he realized that Mo Yurou was so vulnerable.

"Mr. Xiao."

Seeing that Xiao Zichen was silent, Wu Ma stood at the door and shouted.

Xiao Zichen finally came to his senses and walked out of the room. When he closed the door, he glanced at Mo Yurou on the bed.

"Wu Ma, wasn't that a traffic accident? But what about Yurou just now?"

"It's all in the past, Mr. Xiao doesn't need to know."

Wu's mother remembered their current identities and didn't want to cause more trouble, so she said it over and then went back to her room.

Xiao Zichen stood at the door and looked at the door for a long time before returning to the guest room.

I lay on the bed, tossing and turning, and didn't fall asleep until about two o'clock in the night.

The next day, Xiao Zichen got up early. Maybe he didn't sleep well last night, and his face didn't seem to be very good.

The first thing Xiao Zichen did after getting up was to call Liu Mingyu.

"Mr. Xiao, do you have anything to explain?"

"Mingyu, why did Mo Yurou have a traffic accident a year ago?"

Xiao Zichen has been thinking about this all night. If it hadn't been too late last night, how could he have endured until now to call.

Liu Mingyu was stunned for a moment and was very curious about Xiao Zichen's sudden question.

"Mr. Xiao, what happened?"

Liu Mingyu was confused.

"Answer my question first."

Xiao Zichen was obviously a little impatient.

"Mr. Xiao, that time Miss Mo left the airport and took a black taxi. The driver intended to misbehave with Miss Mo. Later, Miss Mo resisted and the car accident occurred."

Xiao Zichen was shocked when he heard the news.

"Why didn't you tell me then?"

Xiao Zichen felt an unknown fire in his heart, why he didn't know anything.

But Liu Mingyu on the phone looked calm and said something.

"Mr. Xiao, you said you didn't want to hear anything about Miss Mo?"

When Xiao Zichen heard this, he didn't know what to say and hung up the phone angrily.

Lu Mingyu, who hung up the phone, looked confused.

After that, Xiao Zichen entered the room, washed his face with cold water, sobered up and calmed down, and then went downstairs.

Mo Yurou was already eating in the restaurant. After seeing Xiao Zichen, she nodded lightly.

Xiao Zichen walked into the restaurant and sat down opposite Mo Yurou.

"Yurou, I want to talk to you about joint cooperation."

There were still four hours left until the signing of the contract, and Xiao Zichen still wanted to work hard. If he came to Mo Yurou yesterday just to maximize the benefits of cooperation, then now, Xiao Zichen did have selfish motives in his heart.

I thought Xiao Zichen had given up, but I didn't expect this man to still give up.

"Mr. Xiao, why are you so persistent?"

Mo Yurou was a little confused. She couldn't understand why this man still refused to give up after she had rejected him so many times.

"Yurou, if I promise you that as long as you join this project, you will never be interfered by the outside world, can you consider it?"

Mo Yurou put down the chopsticks in her hand and said seriously.

"Mr. Xiao, I don't think it's better than this. As long as Director Jiang can promise to cooperate unconditionally in the entire cooperation without any personal emotions, I can consider it."

Mo Yurou made concessions, but the conditions she proposed were actually very harsh. Both she and Xiao Zichen knew very well that Jiang Moyao could not do this at all.

In other words, no one can do this. Which woman can rest assured that her man has close contact with her ex-wife.

Xiao Zichen hesitated for a moment, and then said with a serious expression.

"Okay, I hope you can remember today's promise."

Mo Yurou originally thought that Xiao Zichen would retreat in spite of the difficulty, but she didn't expect that he would agree. This was indeed a bit surprising. Then she said something.

"Mr. Xiao, don't be too confident. You have forgotten why Director Jiang left you two years ago."

Mo Yurou actually hoped that Xiao Zichen would give up, so she reminded him of this matter.

But Xiao Zichen said with confidence.

"Don't worry, I am no longer the Xiao Zichen I was two years ago."

After hearing this, Mo Yurou just smiled slightly.

Xiao Zichen left after breakfast at the manor, but before leaving, Mo Yurou said something.

"Xiao Zichen, if I didn't force Jiang Moyao two years ago, would you believe it?"

Mo Yurou's question was not answered, Xiao Zichen just looked at her with an unpredictable expression, then said goodbye, got in the car and left.

"Miss, do you really want to participate in Dora's project?"

After seeing Xiao Zichen off, Wu Ma looked at Mo Yurou worriedly. Xiao Zichen left, and the light in Mo Yurou's eyes disappeared again.

"It's not whether I want to participate, but whether Miss Jiang is willing to let me participate."

After Mo Yurou said this, she went to the greenhouse in the backyard. As for the rest, she was not thinking about it.
