Chapter 251 Love is the precondition
“Look, I have some considerations, because there are always some barriers to stop us from being together. They won’t vanish as long as we are together. I don’t believe you can forget Luo Lan thoroughly. Ye Sichen, have you ever considered my feelings? You always said that you want to give the kids a warm family, but they will only suffer the psychological effects if things go on like this.” It seemed that Wuyou and Nianci were upset when they saw the pictures in the wardrobe. Before sleeping, they asked Xia Nuan whether Luo Lan would be their stepmother or not.
“Luo Lan came here before, right?” Ye Sichen squeezed her shoulders and asked.
“Yeah, she did. She carried away all the clothes that you bought. Of course, she also left you some souvenirs.” Xia Nuan sneered. She threw off his hand and went to the wardrobe. Inside it were lots of pictures they took years ago when he was very green and she was fantastic.
And there was another picture that they lay on the bed naked, hugging each other.
Seeing these pictures, Ye Sichen’s face became gloomy. He looked at Xia Nuan, “Those old pictures are empty of meaning. She took racy pictures when I was insensible. I took the knockout drops that Luo Lan’s servant prepared in advance by mistake. But I’m pretty sure that I didn’t have sex with her. Please trust me.”
“I want to trust you, but I can’t stand how she provoked me again and again. Ye Sichen, think about it, you still keep her in your mind, right?” Xia Nuan didn’t believe he had broken up with Luo Lan.
“What do you want me to do? I have already married you, why don’t you get it?” He was full of anger.
“But you said you married me just for sleeping with me. My only merit is that I’m younger than Luo Lan. I know men like young girls. You just use Ansheng to lie to me and control me for having sex with you.”
“Yes, you are right. I want to have sex with you, but love is the precondition, because I love you. Luo Lan came here to take her baggage with my permission, but it’s out of my expectation that she left those pictures deliberately.” Xia Nuan’s face was filled with coldness. He was afraid that she would leave him, so his voice became soft.
“Ye Sichen, I can’t just let it go now. I’m sorry, please leave me alone.” Xia Nuan turned around and walked towards the kids’ bedroom.
But her arms were tugged by Ye Sichen.
“Why can’t you let it go? Don’t forget I chose to let it go when I saw the video that you had sex with Ye Enchen. No need to mention my relationship with Luo Lan is different from the two of you. Come on, what can’t you do the same for me?” He squeezed her shoulders tightly.
Xia Nuan felt too painful to fight. She just looked at him in a daze with tears in her eyes, “So, I should bear your disloyalty because I was defiled?”
“I mean we should look forward rather than backward.” Ye Sichen said seriously, “I wasn’t disloyal to you, so don’t judge me like that.”
“I’m tired. I want to sleep. It’s getting late, go to bed early.” Xia Nuan pushed him away weakly because she didn’t want to argue with him anymore.
But he held her obstinately, “Nuan, last night, we promised that we won’t be affected by anyone. We had a deal.”
He was just like a child at this moment.
She relented, “I’m sorry for my emotion. You had a busy day, so have a rest.”
Ye Sichen had to set Xia Nuan free. After she left, he sat on the sofa slowly and texted Luo Lan.
Over breakfast, simultaneously, they just put food onto the plates of the kids but said nothing with each other. There were only happy voices of the kids in the air.
“I want to go to Aoshi City for my business, and the kids will go with me together to live there for a while.” She planned to go to Aoshi City with the kids before they married. Now, Ansheng was healthy, so she could go there without worries.
Ye Sichen stopped to look at her with concern, “Are you sure you want to go there? I had arranged people to run your business there.”
“I haven’t got back for a long time. I have to go.” Xia Nuan said firmly.
Ye Sichen thought about it and he was still worried about her, “Last time when you went back to Aoshi City, you were kidnapped by Song Kuncheng and then plotted by Xia Yan. I will not let you go this time. I’m going to Country S with Lacy, and we can go there together after I come back, OK?”
“Song Kuncheng has been put in jail, right? It will not happen again. I will be careful.” Xia Nuan replied.
“Nuan, don’t let me worry about you.” He lost his appetite but held her hand.
“Take it easy, the safeguards will protect me and the kids.”
Ye Sichen sighed and frowned, “Fine, you need to be more careful.”
After taking a few bites, Ye Sichen wiped his mouth gently and then went to the study. Seeing his lonely back, her heart melted a little bit.
Xia Nuan received a call from Xia Yan after dinner. According to Xia Yan, Zeng Guihua had disappeared, and she wanted to know if their mother had come to Feicheng City.
Zeng Guihua didn’t connect with Xia Nuan.
“Is she lost? Maybe I should put up some search notices.” Xia Yan was anxious, but she comforted Xia Nuan before hanging up.
Xia Nuan doubted that Zeng Guihua was kidnapped by Yuezhao Organization.
Baili asked her to do something against Ye Sichen before, but she didn’t. Therefore, he kidnapped her mother to threaten her.
Xia Nuan connected Baili secretly, but he denied. Xia Nuan didn’t buy his words. At this time, Xia Yan called again to tell her that the photo albums were taken away by Zeng Guihua, which confused Xia Nuan.
After Baili hang up, Zeng Guihua who was sitting opposite him was shivering.
“Is Xia Nuan your biological daughter? Tell me the truth.” Baili questioned Zeng Guihua aggressively.
She nodded, “Yes, she is my biological daughter. It’s true.”
“So, tell me why there is a crescent-shaped cinnabar mole on her arm?” He asked again.
Zeng Guihua shook her head instantly, “I’m pretty sure that there was nothing on her arm since she was born!”
Then Baili got puzzled.
It seemed that Zeng Guihua didn’t lie.
At this time, Mr. Xiao took a stack of photo albums, “Mr. Baili, we find those photo albums in Xia’s house, which includes photos of Xia Nuan’s childhood. Please take a look.”
Baili looked at the childhood photos of Xia Nuan carefully with a magnifying glass, and then he believed Zeng Guihua’s words.
So why the crescent-shaped cinnabar mole on her arm was so obvious?
It could be Ye Sichen…
When Xia Nuan was kidnapped by Yuezhao Organization before, Ye Sichen made her a member of Yuezhao Organization, because he knew clearly that the alliances in the organization were not allowed to get involved in internal strife, or they would be punished. Therefore, Xia Nuan got free at that time. Moreover, since Xia Nuan was one of them, they didn’t deal with Ye Sichen successfully for several times. Xia Nuan was his protection.
Baili pounded the table and scolded, “Ye Sichen tricked us! Damn it!”
Baili considered it for a minute and then looked at Zeng Guihua with a snigger.
“Ms. Xia, If you do me a favor, you will not only leave here but have ten million as a reward. How does it sound?”
Zeng Guihua was shocked and then she said, “Ten… million?”
“That’s right, ten million.”
Baili confirmed.
Zeng Guihua’s mind was still in a jumble. She knew Xia Nuan was rich, but Xia Yan was penniless…
“OK, sir, tell me if there is anything I can do. I will help you as far as I can.” Zeng Guihua promised.
Baili was satisfied with her response, and then he whispered in her ear. Zeng Guihua was worried about it at the beginning, but then she nodded continually and kept the words in her mind.
“You will not hurt her, will you?”
“Absolutely not. Our target is Ye Sichen.”

Xia Nuan was worrying about Zeng Guihua, and then the phone rang again.
“Nuan, I wanted to see you in Feicheng City, but I’m lost. Can you pick me up now?” Zeng Guihua said anxiously.
“Mom, tell me where you are? I will pick you up.” Xia Nuan dressed up to leave.
“I don’t know. It’s a dock. Oh, someone told me it’s the XX dock of Feicheng City.”
“Got it, stay there and I will pick you up right now.” Xia Nuan walked out.
Ye Sichen was just standing in the door of study, seeing her back until she disappeared.
Xia Nuan found the dock as Zeng Guihua said. She saw Zeng Guihua standing there alone with a suitcase.
Zeng Guihua waved when she saw Xia Nuan. And Xia Nuan went towards her.
“Mom, why don’t you let me know before you come here? You should have taken the airplane but not the ship.”
Zeng Guihua sighed, “How can I afford the airplane? I’m here to borrow money. You know I want Xia Yan to run a business, but we have no money right now. Maybe you can give us a little help.”
