Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 522: 521 I’ll go upstairs and wait for you

In the beginning, Wen Ran felt somewhat ill at ease, after all, both of them had already agreed to divorce. Suddenly, she agreed to reconsider, and also agreed to stay with him.

However, very quickly, she was drawn into the atmosphere, under Mo Xiuchen’s gentle and considerate demeanor, her unease gradually dissipated without her realising it, and following the evening meal, the two of them returned to the way they were.

Seemingly, these days were just simply a squabble, and now that they’ve reconciled, they are even more concerned about each other, and their affection, far from diminishing, has only grown more robust!

Wen Ran was the first to put down her chopsticks and sat in her seat, admiring Mo Xiuchen’s elegant eating manners. He occasionally looked up to look at her, when their eyes met, he tenderly smiled at her.

The atmosphere was very warm.

After Mo Xiuchen finished eating, Nanny Zhang came to clean up the bowls and chopsticks. She unusually asked Wen Ran for help. Wen Ran smiled and agreed with a ‘Okay,’ even Mo Xiuchen, surprisingly, did not object. He smiled lightly and happily said, “Ranran, I’ll wait for you upstairs.”

“Alright!”

Wen Ran nodded at him, and she moved into the kitchen while helping Nanny Zhang with the leftover dishes.

Nanny Zhang’s request for her help was just a pretense. In reality, she wanted to chat with her. As soon as they entered the kitchen, she took the plate from Wen Ran’s hands and exclaimed with emotion,

“Missus, I haven’t seen the young master eat this much for many days. In the few days when you were not at home, he would sit alone in the dining room, often putting down his chopsticks after just a few bites, occasionally he would sit in the dining room in a daze for half a day, without eating at all.”

By the end of her statement, Nanny Zhang’s face was full of heartache. Although she was but a nanny, Mo Xiuchen was a boy she had been looking after since he was young, in her eyes, Mo Xiuchen was just like her own son.

Wen Ran felt her heart skip a beat, she kept her lips tight and listened to Nanny Zhang continue, “Missus, now that you’re back, please don’t leave anymore. Even if there’s a big issue, it can still be resolved. I’ve been thinking about this for the past few days, if you don’t come back, the young master will probably revert to his old ways.”

These words were not only spoken by Nanny Zhang.

The people around him had all said the same thing.

“Missus, you aren’t going to leave again, right?”

Nanny Zhang looked earnestly at Wen Ran. She was genuinely scared. During the days when she wasn’t there, the atmosphere in the house had become depressingly low. Seeing Mo Xiuchen in that state, her heart ached in response.

“Nanny Zhang, I…”

“Missus, even though I’m not sure why you want to divorce the young master, I do know that a while back, there were many rumours about you in the newspapers. They said that, you will never be able to be a mother in your lifetime. As a woman too, I can understand your feelings. But, can you please not leave the young master because of this? If you like children, you can discuss it with the young master, perhaps adopt one or two…”

Nanny Zhang didn’t give Wen Ran a chance to speak, she just kept on talking earnestly. Finally, she said, “Missus, young master is still waiting for you upstairs. Hurry up and go. If I keep talking, he’ll become jealous.”

Wen Ran didn’t quite know if she should laugh or cry. She nodded her head, no longer offering any explanation, and simply said, “Then I’ll head upstairs” and turned around, leaving the kitchen.

Mo’s Mansion

In the living room, Mo Jingteng, after hearing Mo Zixuan’s words, did not promptly agree but sat with a somber face, contemplating.

Mo Zixuan was not in a hurry, patiently waiting for him to make up his mind.

After a while, Mo Jingteng asked in a hardened tone, “You’re sure that your mother has really wavered? If I go to see her, she will reveal the whereabouts of Wu Tianyi?”

A few days ago, Mo Zixuan had returned to ask for the photographs and some specifics from the investigation of Xiao Wenqing.

Now, he was asking him to go see Xiao Wenqing. Regarding the woman who betrayed him, Mo Jingteng wished he could tear her apart, how could he possibly forgive her, like Mo Zixuan suggested?

Mo Zixuan calmly said, “It depends on how you discuss it with mom. If you give her hope, let her believe that you’ve truly forgiven her, that you’ve loved her all along, and that you’re willing to save her, she will certainly tell you. At this point, she is in a dead-end, if you extend your hand to her, she will definitely seize the opportunity.”

“You’re going to these lengths to get your mother to reveal Wu Tianyi’s whereabouts, truly believing that after Xiuchen leaves, you’ll be able to properly manage the whole group?”

Mo Jingteng’s tone took a turn, his gaze sharp as he looked at his son.

“Dad, I’m your son, even though I’m not as experienced as Mo Xiuchen, I’m not a fool. I’m diligently learning how to manage a corporation. I’ve already reached an agreement with Mo Xiuchen. Initially, he won’t completely let go. He will assist me with some issues that I’m unable to resolve.”

“He initially agreed to your request for Wen Ran’s sake. Now that he and Wen Ran are stirring up talk of divorce, perhaps one day they will truly divorce. What if he then doesn’t want to leave the corporation?”

Mo Jingteng did not quite agree with his son’s viewpoint. Even though Mo Zixuan had been called back by him initially to keep Mo Xiuchen in check, if it came to handing over the entire MS Group to Mo Zixuan, he was still not at ease.

Mo Zixuan scoffed and said, “Dad, you can relax. Mo Xiuchen is a man who keeps his word. This point, I believe in him. Moreover, even if I were to take over the corporation, it is not as if I’m going to ban him from the place, he still owns shares, therefore the company is still, in part, his.”

He is ambitious, but he is very clear that he needs Mo Xiuchen’s help. And Mo Xiuchen is the type of man who appears cold and ruthless, but who is actually very loyal and chivalrous.

As long as he doesn’t cross the line, Xiuchen won’t fall out with him.

Now that Mo Zixuan has regained his memory and his mind has shifted entirely to focus on the corporation, his desire to woo Wen Ran back has dimmed, especially with Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran’s ongoing dispute about divorce.

He needed to stand by and watch, waiting for them to come to a resolution before deciding what to do.

Hearing Zixuan’s words, Mo Jingteng was slightly relieved. Mo Xiuchen and Mo Zixuan, both of them are his sons. As their father, he did not wish for them to constantly clash with each other. If possible, he would hope that they could coexist harmoniously and manage the company together.

“Fine, I agree to your proposition. Tomorrow, I’ll go see your mother.”

Even if he is unwilling to see Xiao Wenqing, in order to track down Wu Tianyi, he has to swallow his pride.

Mo Zixuan’s brows finally relaxed; his tone was a touch lighter: “Dad, let’s make it a deal. Tomorrow morning, let’s go together. When you meet mom, you must be patient and not lose your temper.”

“Hmm, I get it.”

Mo Jingteng’s agreement was a bit forced, but he reluctantly agreed.

Mo Zixuan stood up, reached out to support Mo Jingteng, and said deferentially, “Dad, it’s getting late. I’ll help you to your room to rest. Only with a good night’s rest will you feel better tomorrow.”

Mo Jingteng grunted a few times but didn’t refuse Mo Zixuan’s arm. Ever since he had called Mo Zixuan back, it had only been Mo Ziuxan who had stayed with him, whether out of sincerity, or through deception, after all, he was the only one who stayed with him.
