Rebirth: Love in the Apocalypse - Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Chu Wan’er
“Chenxuan.” A sweet voice resounded in the surroundings.

Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu turned around.

However, when Qin Wu saw the approaching people, her eyes narrowed into slits and she subconsciously clenched her hands.

‘Chu Wan’er.’ She thought.

“Miss Chu.” Mo Chenxuan nodded.

Chu Wan’er frowned when she heard this.

When had Mo Chenxuan ever called her so formally?

However, she soon regained her composure and smiled at the person before speaking.

“Have you just arrived in city B? I am glad you are okay.” She said.

“Thank you.”

Although she was his ex-girlfriend, Mo Chenxuan didn’t have any feelings for Ch Wan’er.

He neither liked nor disliked her.

Considering that, his attitude towards her was perfunctory and his attention soon shifted to the three men beside her.

Before the apocalypse, Leng Han, Yang Qian, Ouyang Jun, and Mo Chenxuan were friends.

However, it was not until the apocalypse in his previous life that Mo Chenxuan realised that his three friends also liked Chu Wan’er.

Later, Chu Wan’er said that she loved Mo Chenxuan but also had special feelings for his three friends.

She didn’t want to choose between the four men and felt they could all be happy together.

Because there were fewer women in the apocalypse, it was not unacceptable for a woman to have several men.

Most importantly, the Chu family was a major power in the base.

With such a background, Chu Wan’er could openly marry several men and felt no need to choose.

Unfortunately, Mo Chenxuan could not accept this and resolutely left Chu Wan’er.

At first, Mo Chenxuan thought he would be heartbroken.

However, the breakup wasn’t as hard as he expected.

In fact, he felt relieved.

It was only at this time that Mo Chenxuan realised his heart for Qin Wu but he couldn’t be reckless.

After all, he had just broken up with Chu Wan’er and didn’t want Qin Wu to think she was the rebound woman.

Thinking this way, Mo Chenxuan decided to take his time.

Unfortunately, his luck was not very good.

In the third year of the apocalypse, he was captured and imprisoned at a research laboratory.

When he escaped five years later, Qin Wu had just died and Mo Chenxuan lost all hope.

Recalling his previous life, Mo Chenxuan sighed but he wasn’t resentful.

After all, his previous experiences paved the way for his current life.

“Fourth brother.” A voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

“Eldest, second, third.” Mo Chenxuan greeted the three men.

Although he no longer thought of them as brothers, he didn’t hate them.

“Fourth brother, I am glad you were able to arrive in the capital safely.” Yang Qian said and Mo Chenxuan chuckled.

“It was a little difficult but we managed.” Mo Chenxuan said, rubbing his woman’s hair with a doting look.

Although nothing was said, there was a strange awkwardness between the four men.

By rubbing Qin Wu’s hair, Mo Chenxuan wanted the other three men to feel at ease.

He wanted to tell them that their relationship with Chu Wan’er had nothing to do with him.

“Chenxuan, are you and sister Qin together?” Chu Wan’er asked, looking at the two with a curious expression.

“We are.” Mo Chenxuan said in a happy voice.

“Congratulations.” Chu Wan’er said.

She had loved Mo Chenxuan in her previous life.

However, she had also loved other people and she couldn’t give them up for Mo Chenxuan.

When she was reborn and Mo Chenxuan called to break up with her, Chu Wan’er didn’t argue.

She just agreed and wished him luck.

After all, she knew what would happen when the apocalypse began.

In that case, why delay the inevitable?

Thinking of it now, Chu Wan’er felt she had made the right choice but her heart was a little sour.

No matter what, she and Mo Chenxuan had been in a relationship for more than a year.

During that time, the man had held her in the palm of his hand and loved her very much.

However, she was not blind.

She could see the difference between how he looked at her in the past and how he looked at Qin Wu now.

‘Is this why he could resolutely walk away from me? Is there nothing of me in his heart?’ She wondered.

Although she wanted to be truly happy for Mo Chenxuan, Chu Wan’er found that she couldn’t.

Her heart was in a mess and she subconsciously clenched her hands.

At this time, she suddenly thought of a lot of inconsistences.

‘Why did Mo Chenxuan break up with me ahead of schedule? Why did he and Qin Wu get together when they didn’t even date in the previous life? Why have so many things changed?’

Chu Wan’er felt regretful.

She wondered if things would be different if she had fought for Mo Chenxuan.

Would he have stayed if she had tried to convince him?

When she thought about it, she realised she had never told him that she loved him more than her other men.

Although she couldn’t give him all her heart, wasn’t it enough to give him most of it?

‘Is it too late to say these things?’ She wondered, looking at Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu.

At this time, the guard had just returned Mo Chenxuan’s identity card and the man was preparing to get into his car.

“Chenxuan…” Chu Wan’er called and Qin Wu frowned.

“Miss Chu, can you not call my lover so intimately?” She said, plunging the place into silence.

Chu Wan’er was shocked.

She didn’t expect Qin Wu to say such a thing and she couldn’t help but be displeased.

After all, she had always called Mo Chenxuan in that way.

What right did Qin Wu have to prevent her from addressing Mo Chenxuan as she wished?

Unfortunately, Chu Wan’er underestimated Mo Chenxuan; the wife slave.

As soon as Qin Wu expressed her displeasure, Mo Chenxuan loaded his gun and prepared to eliminate the source of his woman’s unhappiness.

“Chenxuan, do you mind if…” Chu Wan’er started but Mo Chenxuan shook his head.

“Since Wu’er doesn’t like it, you don’t have to call me this way in the future.” Mo Chenxuan said and Chu Wan’er felt her heart drop.

‘Has he already loved her to this level?’ She wondered and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.

However, Chu Wan’er didn’t argue.

She just smiled and nodded in agreement.

“I understand.” She said and quickly continued.

“Sister Qin, Brother Mo, you have just arrived and haven’t joined a team yet. Do you want to join our team?” Chu Wan’er asked and her three men nodded in agreement.

If possible, they didn’t want to fall out with Mo Chenxuan.

However, the situation was awkward and they didn’t know if the brotherhood could be salvaged.

That said, they didn’t regret their decision.

Although they were co-husbands, they deeply loved Chu Wan’er and didn’t want to let her go.

“Sorry, we already have a team. We will register after we settle down.” Mo Chenxuan refused and Chu Wan’er couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

However, she didn’t insist.

Since they were in the same base and lived in the same villa area, she wasn’t worried that they wouldn’t have many opportunities to meet I the future.

When the time came, she would have a good talk with Mo Chenxuan to see if their relationship could be savaged.

But before then…

Chu Wan’er looked at Qin Wu and a trace of calculations flashed in her eyes.

She and Qin Wu didn’t have many interactions in her previous life.

However, she knew about Qin Wu and her family.

With this knowledge, Chu Wan’er felt she could find an opportunity to separate Qin Wu and Mo Chenxuan.

‘Qin Wu, I don’t dislike you but I also love Mo Chenxuan. Ultimately, my happiness is more important than your happiness so I won’t spare any efforts to get him back. I won’t ask you to forgive my selfishness but I will welcome your challenge. May the best woman win.’ Chu Wan’er added drama to herself but the other two didn’t care.

After several months together, Qin Wu knew Mo Chenxuan didn’t have feelings for Chu Wan’er.

Knowing that, she didn’t feel threatened or inferior when they encountered Chu Wan’er.

Even if she knew hat Chu Wan’er was thinking, she would just laugh and bake popcorns, preparing to watch a good show.

“In that case, good luck and see you around.”

After waving at the two, Chu Wan’er led her men to their car and soon drove into villa area.

Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu also entered their car and followed the road leading to villa eight.

“Brother Chenxuan, isn’t it a bit too early in the apocalypse for Chu Wan’er to marry those three?” Qin Wu suddenly asked.

“It’s indeed a bit too early.” Mo Chenxuan couldn’t help but frown.

At this time in their previous life, Chu Wan’er was still hesitating and confused.

“There are many things that don’t add up.” The man said and Qin Wu nodded in agreement.
