The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1363: Chapter 724: Mo Han and Wanwan Arc – She Is Not Her Mother’s Biological Daughter

The man who had been dealing with work heard the footsteps behind him grow farther and farther away; he couldn’t help turning his head to look. Only when Ning Wan’s figure disappeared completely from his line of sight did the expression in his eyes deepen a few degrees.

Her mother’s diary...

Which meant that she might find out those facts she had never known before?

At that thought, Xi Mohan had the impulse to go up and stop her, to snatch that diary out of her hands.

But in the end he still forced down that impulse in his heart and turned his gaze back to the documents in front of him, yet he couldn’t read a single word.

Ning Wan would learn the truth sooner or later; even if he was still hiding it from her now, she would find out in the future.

...

After Ning Wan returned to the room, she sat cross‑legged on the bed, then put the business card box and bank card on the nightstand before placing the diary in front of her.

It was a diary that at a glance you could tell had many years of history, yet it had been preserved very well. When she opened the first page, she immediately saw her mother’s name, and with one look she could tell this was her mother’s handwriting.

Half an hour later, when Ning Wan finished reading the entire diary, she was completely stunned, the blood drained from her face to an abnormal pallor. The next second, she put the diary on the bed, and with bare feet ran straight out the door.

Xi Mohan had finally managed to calm down and focus on work, and after handling a few documents, he suddenly heard Auntie Li’s startled exclamation.

"Miss Ning Wan, please don’t run so fast, you’ll easily fall like that..."

The man turned around at once and instantly saw Ning Wan hurrying down from upstairs. He immediately stood up, his brows knitting as he watched her stride quickly toward him.

Ning Wan herself didn’t even know why, at the very first moment, she had run downstairs to find Xi Mohan. By the time she was standing in front of him, looking at the man with his brows furrowed, the words that had reached her lips were suddenly stuck in her throat.

Xi Mohan’s gaze dropped to her bare feet planted directly on the floor, his voice sinking. "Where are your shoes?"

Ning Wan lowered her head and glanced at her own feet, pressed her lips together, and ultimately said nothing.

Xi Mohan directly grabbed her arm and pulled her over to the sofa.

Only after Ning Wan sat down did she look at Xi Mohan and ask, "Xi Mohan, do you know something that I don’t?"

The man froze for a moment and lowered his eyes to look at her. His eyes were filled with unfathomable depth, making it impossible to see what emotion lay within. His thin lips pressed lightly together as he kept silent.

Ning Wan’s tears suddenly rolled down, like a faucet that couldn’t be turned off. Her heart ached in spasms, and her voice was choked with sobs. "Do you know who my birth mother is?"

The diary clearly recorded that she was not Mother Ning’s biological daughter, but the child her father had had with another woman. Yet Mother Ning had chosen to hide this from everyone, including Ning Zezhen and Old Master Ning, and had treated her as her own flesh and blood, never having another child.

She didn’t know what was going through Mother Ning’s mind, but Mother Ning had truly been incredibly good to her—so good it was as if she held her in the palm of her hand to cherish, and kept her in her heart to love.

From childhood to now, she had never suffered, not even the slightest bit of injury; whenever she was hurt even a little, Mother Ning would become extremely nervous.
