Chapter 404: Confess or Conceal

Ruan Sirou widened her eyes and her whole body trembled for a moment. She blinked frantically and tried her best to keep her voice normal.

"Of course, have you forgotten about that night? The child's date also matches. Why would you doubt the child?"

Her voice was choked and tears streamed down her eyes.

"Brother Yan, if the child is not yours, why did you get engaged to me? The child is yours, you can't deny it."

She did it so secretly at the time that even Mo Chenyan was fooled by her.

Why did he bring it up again after such a long time?

She was about to continue quibbling when Lin Ze knocked on the door and said, "Sir, the person you called is here."

People, what people?

She was stunned for a moment and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Brother Ayan, who's here?"

Mo Chenyan crossed his arms across his chest, his demeanor calm, "Take a look."

She looked back, and the moment Si Chenyou appeared, her cheeks turned pale and her whole body felt like she was falling into an ice cellar.

How could it be him?

She looked behind him, trying to see Shen Huaizhi and the others.

But no, there was only Si Chenyou.

"Brother Yan."

Si Chenyou greeted him in his usual tone, "Lin Ze said you asked me to come over for coffee. Maybe you have something to tell me, right?"

As soon as he came in, he felt an abnormal atmosphere, especially Ruan Sirou, whose eyes were red as if she was crying.

A bad premonition spread in his heart, and he sat down not far from him.

"Why are you wearing sunglasses in the room?"

"My eyes are injured and I can't see now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Chenyou saw Ruan Sirou winking at him, asking him to look at his phone, so he lowered his head to look.

Ruan Sirou: [Mo Chenyan is suspicious, help me.]

He locked his phone silently. "Is it serious? If you need any help, just let me know."

"Chen You, I called you here to ask you one thing. Is Ruan Sirou's child yours?"

Si Chenyou was surprised and said, "Brother Yan! Don't hurt me! Everyone knows that Ruan Sirou is your fiancée, and the child in her belly must be yours. How can it be related to me?"

He imitated the tone of voice he used to speak in the past, and although his expression was a little off, his tone sounded quite normal.

"Si Chenyou, you know I never speculate. I remember you said before that your company is doing well. It just so happens that the Mo Group needs a subsidiary. How about acquiring it? What do you think?"

In front of the two of them, Mo Chenyan directly threatened them.

Si Chenyou's breathing tightened. The Si family's company was the hard work of the family members. They would rather go bankrupt than be acquired.

In the past, I had a good relationship with Mo Chenyan, and with the active attention of the Mo Group, my relationship had been developing steadily.

Now, has he finally been unable to hold back and is about to take action?

"Brother Yan, you're joking. The Si family's company doesn't accept acquisitions. Don't say such things. I'm scared."

Ruan Sirou continued, "Brother Ayan, I'm not familiar with him and have no relationship with him at all. Wouldn't it be better to do a paternity test after the child is born to find out?"

"I find it disgusting."

Ruan Sirou's red lips opened slightly, and she froze in place.

"Si Chenyou, this is your last chance. The Si family's company or concealment? It's your choice."

Mo Chenyan was not worried at all. It was because they were friends that he knew Si Chenyou's weakness.

He never cared about women, the only thing he cared about was the Si family's business.

Ruan Sirou shook her head towards Si Chenyou with tears in her eyes, silently saying "please".

Ruan Sirou: [Help me! As long as I gain a foothold in the Mo family, I promise I will help you with the company's affairs.]

Ruan Sirou: [Don't confess. If you do, there's no hope for both of us.]

Ruan Sirou: [I promise you, I will not only help you with the company's affairs, but I will also give you an extra 10 million. Please don't tell me, please.]

She knew that as long as Si Chenyou confessed, she would be completely finished. Not only would she be abandoned by Mo Chenyan, but she would also be hated by the Mo family.

By then, the Ruan family will also be implicated by her.

As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more tense.

Mo Chenyan counted down coldly: "Last ten seconds, Si Chenyou, this is your last chance."

"I say."

Si Chenyou interrupted, lowering his eyes to avoid Ruan Sirou's gaze.

"The child is mine. I was drunk that day. Brother Yan, listen to my explanation. Before you got engaged, I didn't know she was pregnant, nor did I know she told you the child was yours. I wasn't sure if the child was mine, so I didn't dare tell you."

Si Chenyou knelt beside Mo Chenyan's legs and pleaded, "Brother Yan, this is all my fault. It has nothing to do with the Si family. Please don't take your anger out on the Si family."

Ruan Sirou screamed, "No, Brother Ayan, that's not the case. He lied to you. He has always had ulterior motives towards me. He deliberately said these words to deceive you just to make me leave you."

She hugged Mo Chenyan's arm, as if she was holding the only piece of driftwood in the turbulent water.

"I am the person closest to you, you should trust me, wuwu, Si Chenyou, why do you want to hurt me like this? I will not be with you."
