Xu Mo nodded seriously, "Yes, I want to hear the truth."

.

She had barely finished speaking when she realized something and quickly added, "I want to hear the truth from you!"

The little things she had done with Xu Ye had built up enough trust in him for her to believe in every judgment he made and every word he uttered when he was serious.

Xu Ye sighed helplessly, "Ranran, that Xu Xiusen is an official, and his position is not low. By chance, he asked you to sweep his daughter's grave on the anniversary of her death. And this is not the first time. Ranran, I think Xu Xiusen's desire to adopt you as his goddaughter is very simple. He simply wants to adopt you as his goddaughter because you are about the same age as his deceased daughter. Seeing you has aroused his fatherly love, and he wants to adopt you as his goddaughter. That's true."

Xu Mo raised her chin slightly. "But I don't necessarily want to be his goddaughter. He didn't even ask me."

Xu Ye smiled and pulled her into his arms. "My silly Ranran, isn't it better to have another father who loves you?"

Xu Moran let out a soft breath, looked into Xu Ye's eyes, and said softly, "I used to dream of having a home, a loving mother and father, but that was a childhood wish. Now that I'm grown up, I don't need it anymore."

Xu Ye stared intently at Xu Mo, a rare occurrence for him. "Ranran, are you really not going to? Or are you afraid of being disappointed again?"

Xu Moran remained silent. It must be said that from that sentence just now, it was clear that Xu Ye understood Xu Moran very well, hitting the deepest thought in her heart with his words.

Xu Ye continued, "Ranran, since it's something you've dreamed of since you were a child, why not accept it gracefully?"

If Xiao Anhe didn't know Xu Moran, he would think that she refused to acknowledge Xu Xiusen as her godfather because she was afraid of being implicated by him. After all, Xu Xiusen, who had been in officialdom for many years, hadn't done so well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been detained for almost a year before being proven innocent and released.

It was precisely because Xiao Anhe understood Xu Momo that he knew she was not opportunistic, but rather that if someone gave her an inch, she would repay the favor and fight back.

Xu Moran is Xu Moran; she won't add flowers to brocade, but rather, offering charcoal in the snow is in her nature.

If he hadn't clearly known that Xu Xiusen genuinely wanted to recognize Xu Momo as his goddaughter, and that this would make up for the fatherly love that Xu Momo had lacked for many years, judging solely from Xu Momo's personality, he definitely wouldn't have agreed to Xu Momo and Xu Xiusen becoming goddaughters.

For Xiao Anhe, there were still too many things to deal with. Once Xu Momo really became Xu Xiusen's goddaughter, he would inevitably have to divert some of his attention to things that he didn't originally need to care about.

No matter how energetic he is, he is still just a human being. He has a lot of thorny issues to deal with and shouldn't be distracted by other things. However, since it concerns Xu Mo, he is willing to take the time to care and concern for her.

Xu Mo didn't know what Xu Ye was thinking. After seriously considering what he said, she nodded gently, "I'll give it a try."

This was the first time Xiao Anhe had heard Xu Moran hesitate on something. What he saw was not Xu Moran's indecisiveness as a woman, but her deep longing for her father.

The car continued driving quietly until it entered the main city road. Only then did the driver, who had been quietly driving in the front seat, turn around and look at the back seat. "Ms. Xu, I almost forgot to ask, would you like coffee or milk tea?"

Xu Moran recognized the driver and his eyes widened in shock. It was that female driver again!

If fate truly exists between people, Xu Moran felt that his connection with this female driver was excessive.

.

"It's you again?" Even though Xu Moran was someone who could keep his thoughts to himself, he couldn't hold back anymore after these frequent encounters with female drivers. "Are you doing this on purpose?"

From her tone, it was clear that Yu Lanlan was deliberately creating opportunities to get close to Xu Ye.

Upon hearing Xu Moran's words, Yu Lanlan felt a mix of unease and embarrassment, and couldn't help but glance quickly at Xiao Anhe.

She looked at Xiao Anhe and said, "Boss, what do we do now? If this misunderstanding continues, I'll become a thorn in the side of the boss's wife."

Xiao Anhe glanced back at her indifferently, then looked at Yu Lanlan with his eyes and said, "What's there to be afraid of if you're a thorn in someone's side? As long as you make the boss happy, I'll give you a raise this month."

Yu Lanlan had just taken out a loan to buy a house and was making monthly mortgage payments. It was a time when she needed money, but for the sake of money, she endured it.

"Miss Xu!" Yu Lanlan's expression was exaggerated, and her tone was even more exaggerated than that. "It's you again, Miss Xu! What a coincidence, what a fate! I saw that the person who called the car was surnamed Xu, but I didn't expect it to be you again. Miss Xu, is it really you?"

Xu Moran, "..."

Compared to Yu Lanlan's exaggerated acting skills, Xu Moran was speechless.

Finally, she tugged at the corner of her mouth and echoed Yu Lanlan's words, "Yes, what a coincidence."

Yu Lanlan's enthusiasm remained undiminished, "Miss Xu, what kind of coffee would you like?"

Just as Xu Moran was about to say no, Yu Lanlan had already pulled the car over to the side of the road. As she unbuckled her seatbelt, she said to Xu Moran, "Ms. Xu, please wait a moment while I go buy you some coffee."

Before Xu Moran could even finish his "No need," Yu Lanlan had already pushed open the car door and gotten out.

Xu Moran paused for a few seconds, then turned to the man sitting next to her and asked, "Is the service this good now?"

The coffee shop by the roadside doesn't charge cheap prices for a cup of coffee.
