A matriarchal world with a harem? You must be kidding!

"I regret it, I admit I regret it. I shouldn't have tried to act cool and aloof back then. I didn't want to hold you back, so I refused. But it turns out I was wrong. Do you know how much I've regretted it all these years? I... I'm such a fucking idiot!"

Looking at Lan Ruobing, who was crying in his arms, Mo Xunhuan felt both heartache and a little amused.

Keep in mind that this is the president of Su's Enterprise, a powerful and icy businesswoman with assets of tens of billions, an impeccable presence in front of outsiders. Yet here she is, sobbing in his arms like a little girl. The contrast is just too great.

"Okay, I know you're upset, but what's done is done. Can't you think more positively?" Mo Xunhuan gently stroked her hair, comforting her.

"I can't think straight!" Lan Ruobing raised her head, her beautiful face streaked with tears, which made one's heart tremble. This delicate and beautiful image really touched Mo Xunhuan's protective instincts.

"I was supposed to be the first one, but in the end everyone else got something, and I got nothing. I... I'm not reconciled."

"I'm not reconciled!" Hearing these three words, Mo Xunhuan felt a mix of emotions. He gently stroked the other person's pretty face, wiping away her tears, and asked in a calm tone.

"So... you're just unwilling to accept it?"

"When..." Lan Ruobing was about to answer, but her sixth sense brought her back to her senses. As Mo Xunhuan's first love and with the keen sense of a business queen, she sensed a sense of crisis.

"No, it's not what you think. Besides feeling resentful, I feel mostly...regret, because I've never forgotten you. The breakup back then was just a helpless decision. I really...have always loved you!"

Looking into those mesmerizing yet sincere eyes, Mo Xunhuan was fairly satisfied with the answer, and he could also understand Lan Ruobing's feelings.

When we broke up, I took her to a hotel. If it were any other woman in the world, she would have done the same without hesitation.

But Lan Ruobing refused.

Although Mo Xunhuan was also quite regretful, now that he thinks about it, doesn't this mean that Lan Ruobing genuinely liked him, and that it wasn't just lust?

"Let me go." Just then, Mo Xunhuan suddenly commanded.

"Ah, but..."

"I told you to let me go, are you deaf?"

Faced with Mo Xunhuan's calm gaze, Lan Ruobing couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so she could only let go of him.

Mo Xunhuan sat up, stretched, and breathed a sigh of relief. But when he looked at Lan Ruobing, she seemed wary, as if afraid he would suddenly escape.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you afraid I'll run away?" Mo Xunhuan teased.

"I've waited 10 years for this opportunity, and I... don't want to miss it," Lan Ruobing said softly, her head lowered.

Mo Xunhuan faced her, reached out and lifted her chin, looking into her evasive eyes, and asked, "Do you really want that much? If it's just because you're under too much pressure, you can go find those handsome internet celebrities or stars. There are plenty of guys better than me."

"But I only want you, I only like you. And I want to prove to you that I have never touched another man, I have never betrayed you, really!" Lan Ruobing grasped his wrist and said firmly.

Seeing this, Mo Xunhuan chuckled and casually patted him on the shoulder. "Lie down!"

"What? Me?" Lan Ruobing pointed at herself, looking surprised.

"Otherwise what? Since you want to prove something to me, then of course I have to answer this question myself. As someone who betrayed me, you have no right to touch me first, understand?" Mo Xunhuan pinched her chin and said domineeringly.

Lan Ruobing's expression darkened, but she quickly became excited again, because she understood what Mo Xunhuan meant; he wanted to...

With a thud, Lan Ruobing collapsed onto the bed, her eyes glazed as she looked up at Mo Xunhuan before her, opening her arms to him.

"Come, my first love, my only love, I will prove to you... my true heart!"

----------

Mo Xunhuan left. The next morning, after that night, Mo Xunhuan took the high-speed train and left the capital.

He dared not delay, because what Lan Ruobing said was true. This guy was almost 30 years old, the head of one of the four major families in the capital, an omnipotent being, yet he was still a virgin.

Ten years have passed, and Mo Xunhuan still lacks such perseverance. He can't imagine how terrifying someone with such willpower must be. At the very least, she certainly won't give up, especially after this experience. That woman is certain that Mo Xunhuan still has feelings for her, and she will definitely launch an even more intense offensive without hesitation.

Therefore, after that night, Mo Xunhuan left without hesitation; staying even one more day would be a sin!

Early in the morning, Lan Ruobing lazily got out of bed, feeling refreshed all over. All the minor ailments that had accumulated from work in the past were gone, and she felt as if she had become 10 years younger in an instant.

"Phew, no wonder people say that dating makes you grow old. If I had known it was so delicious, I shouldn't have let it go!" Lan Ruobing couldn't help but sigh.
