The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1397: Chapter 454: Mo Han and Wanwan Arc – Telling Her the Mastermind 1

The man’s footsteps did indeed stop, and he turned directly to look at her but didn’t speak.

Ning Wan swallowed and cautiously asked, "Xi Mohan, can you tell me, who exactly killed my parents?"

Her parents had been gone for so many years, and ever since she found out they were deliberately murdered and not accidentally killed, she had been searching for the mastermind. But without power or influence, how could it be easy to find the culprit?

Hearing her question, Xi Mohan’s eyes deepened a bit, and then his thin lips parted slightly, his voice tinged with indifference, "Ning Wan, what makes you think I have any reason to tell you?"

At his words, the girl froze, her eyes widening as she stared at the man before her. Her lips moved as if to say something, but in the end, no words came out.

Right... why should Xi Mohan tell her?

Just because he slept with her last night?

Saying it out loud felt embarrassing to her.

Thinking carefully, she couldn’t come up with a convincing reason. Ning Wan slowly released the man’s hand, lowered her head slightly, her eyes fixed on the floor in front of her. She took a small step back to put distance between them and said, "You really don’t have any reason to tell me. I’m sorry to have bothered you."

After she spoke, she was about to turn and leave.

But just as she turned and hadn’t taken a step, the man who had been standing still suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her back forcefully. When she looked at him, he finally spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse and low, "Ning Wan, I can tell you, and even help you avenge them, but I have conditions. You should know I’m a businessman, I don’t do deals that lose money."

She looked back at him.

He slightly curled his lips, his gaze resting on the girl before him, his tone carrying a low, seductive note, "Be my woman for four years, and after four years, I’ll help you reclaim everything that should belong to you."

"What... belongs to me?" Ning Wan was a bit confused, as if she hadn’t quite grasped the meaning of his words.

But Xi Mohan didn’t explain immediately. Instead, he directly grabbed her arm and led her into the study.

This time, Ning Wan didn’t struggle but obediently followed Xi Mohan because this man had the answers she wanted to know.

This wasn’t Ning Wan’s first time in this study. She had been here many times when she lived here two years ago, but entering it again now made her feel like she had stepped into a room she had never been in before.

The study’s design from two years ago matched Xi Mohan’s taste and personality, mainly featuring cool tones and meticulously arranged furnishings.

However, Ning Wan now noticed that the study had gained a light pink tatami mat, and even the sofa cushions were a pale purple, as if a female owner had been added to the room.

This thought surfaced in her mind, and Ning Wan’s eyes dimmed a bit because she didn’t think it was because of her. After all, the girlfriend Xi Mohan publicly acknowledged over the past two years was Ning Yan’er. She believed the study’s changes were entirely due to Ning Yan’er.

Xi Mohan directly had Ning Wan sit on the sofa, then walked to the bookshelf behind, searching for a while before quickly retrieving a document from a pile of papers and returning to sit beside Ning Wan.
