Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 242: 241 Don’t listen to MO Xiuchen’s nonsense

Translator: 549690339

That voice didn’t come from Luo Haofeng’s mouth!

Wen Ran flinched upon hearing it, a trace of confusion crossing her brow before she heard MO Xiuchen’s voice.

Understanding dawned on her then. Right at that moment, down in the living room, MO Xiuchen lounging on the sofa suddenly looked up towards her.

“Ranran, you’re up!”

Seeing her standing in the staircase, MO Xiuchen’s lips curved into a smile. He rose from the sofa and strode towards her.

Wen Ran held onto the handrail as she came downstairs. Her gaze flitted over Luo Haofeng sitting on the sofa, finally settling on MO Xiuchen. “Why did you come down without changing your clothes?”

MO Xiuchen chuckled and reached out to grasp her hand as she descended the stairs. His voice clear and merry as he said, “No rush. You’re in time, just in time to hear Ah Feng’s drunken confessions from last night.”

“MO Xiuchen! ”

On the sofa, Luo Haofeng stopped the recording, glowering at MO Xiuchen. If only he could actually take him on, he would’ve definitely given him a good lesson today to get back at him for last night.

Wen Ran looked at him curiously, “What drunken confessions?”

Last night, after their own amorous interlude, MO Xiuchen merely mentioned Luo Haofeng had gotten drunk and was sleeping in the living room downstairs.

She was too exhausted to press for details and simply succumbed to sleep.

Looking at Luo Haofeng’s furious face, then at MO Xiuchen’s smug expression, she couldn’t help a tremor of amusement.

Obviously, MO Xiuchen deliberately recorded Luo Haofeng’s drunken rants.

And perhaps even set him up on purpose.

MO Xiuchen, still holding Wen Ran’s hand, guided her back to the sofa. His eyes twinkled with amusement as he looked at Luo Haofeng and cheerily urged him. “Ah Feng, there’s still one classic line left. You have to let us listen to it. Now that Ranran’s here, why don’t you tell us how you lost to Bai Xiaoxiao.”

“Lost to Xiaoxiao?”

Wen Ran’s confusion deepened. Intrigued, she thought, ‘Did Luo Haofeng encounter Xiaoxiao? He even lost to her?’

If she remembered correctly, Xiaoxiao always avoided him whenever possible, even going out of her way to do so.

A sequence of expressions flickered across Luo Haofeng’s face. Being watched by MO Xiuchen’s laughing eyes and Wen Ran’s questioning stare, he felt like he wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

‘How had he been tricked by MO Xiuchen?’ he wondered.

Knowing full well his tendency to blurt out truths when drunk, he shouldn’t have drank so much last night. Above all, he shouldn’t have spent the night with MO Xiuchen.

“No, don’t believe MO Xiuchen’s nonsense.”

How could Luo Haofeng ever admit that he’d tried to make a fool of Bai Xiaoxiao and ended up being laughed at instead?

Not only did she manage to cancel his proposition from before, but he also ended up agreeing to serve as her groom for one full year.

Regardless of the season or time of the day, wherever in the world he might be, as long as she, Bai Xiaoxiao, wants to ride a horse, he has to show up.

MO Xiuchen’s brows lifted in amusement as he turned to Little Liu. “Little Liu, am I spouting nonsense here? Since Ah Feng doesn’t want us to listen in, why don’t you tell Ranran what else he said last night?”

All this while, unnoticed Little Liu was suddenly called upon. Fumbling for a response.

He dumbly went ‘uh’, blinked, then quicldy glanced at Luo Haofeng. The latter gestured a throat-cutting motion at him, making Little Liu instinctively cringe. “Young Master Luo, well..

MO Xiuchen’s face darkened, “What are you afraid of?”

Little Liu pursed his lips. Even though he didn’t want to offend Luo Haofeng, his own master’s order came first. He just hoped Luo Haofeng wouldn’t hold it against him.

“Madam, last night Young Master Luo said…”

“It doesn’t matter what you say, what I spoke last night, hear it for yourself.

Anyway, both of you have already heard it, one more person won’t matter.”

With a huff, Luo Haofeng restarted the recording. With wide interested eyes, Wen Ran listened intently to Luo Haofeng and MO Xiuchen’s conversation.

When she heard him say, “Who would want to woo her? I won’t even if she’s given to me as a gift,” Wen Ran’s eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

Luo Haofeng was slightly taken aback that he’d say such things. He closed his eyes and exhaled deeply in annoyance, throwing a venomous glance in the instigator’s direction.

It wouldn’t have mattered saying such things in front of Bai Xiaoxiao, but saying it in front of her good friend was a different story.

“Ranran, when I called Ah Feng yesterday afternoon, he was with Bai Xiaoxiao. He was trying to embarrass her, but instead came down flat on his face.”, MO

Xiuchen explained in a calm and leveled voice. Suddenly, Wen Ran understood. So, this whole monologue facade was just because Luo Haofeng had ignored his calls yesterday afternoon?

Seeing Luo Haofeng’s face darken considerably, Wen Ran stifled her laughter and asked curiously, “Luo Haofeng, what was the wager in your horse-riding competition with Xiaoxiao?”

“What wager? Nothing.”

Luo Haofeng answered grumpily, scratched his head, and decided to ignore them. He planned to return home for a shower, and then sleep.

Wen Ran chuckled disbelievingly, “Xiaoxiao mentioned before that she always avoids you and wouldn’t stir up trouble with you voluntarily. Seems like, you’re the one who picked the quarrel with her, and there must’ve been a wager. You must have thought you’d win.”

Meanwhile, MO Xiuchen remained silent, watching Wen Ran with a smile playing around his lips.

Her voice was soft, pleasant to the ear, “If I’m not mistaken, your horse-riding skills are quite commendable. You were confident that Xiaoxiao wouldn’t be able to beat you. But you’ve miscalculated. Horse riding is actually Xiaoxiao’s favorite hobby. She has taken professional equestrian training and devoted more time to that than her studies.”

The disbelief on Luo Haofeng’s face was apparent. He was stunned by Wen Ran’s words.

Bai Xiaoxiao, that vixen, seemed like a spoiled, haughty rich girl on the surface. As far as he was concerned, her joining the company was nothing more than a way to live off others.

But, he’s had two showdowns with her, and each time he had been beaten.

It hurt his pride. From now on, he and Bai Xiaoxiao were sworn enemies.

As Wen Ran continued to analyze his horse-riding competition with Bai Xiaoxiao, Luo Haofeng’s phone buzzed, vibrating with Bai Xiaoxiao’s incoming call, interrupting the words Wen Ran was about to say.

Luo Haofeng pulled out his phone. Seeing the caller ID, his face changed abruptly, anger quickly pooling in his narrowed eyes.

Wen Ran caught his expression and asked with a smile, “Is it Xiaoxiao calling you? Don’t tell me you lost a horse-riding match and now you’ve become her 24/7 on-call servant?”

“That’s a real possibility!”

MO Xiuchen fanned the flames from the side while Little Liu, not being part of their group, dared not make fun of Luo Haofeng and quietly stood off to the side, keeping a low profile..
