Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 639: 638 I pick to eat by myself

Mo Xiuchen didn’t stand up, his long figure was leaning lazily against the couch, legs casually propped up. His handsome profile turned slightly, his eyes soft, with an attractive, light smile tugging at his lips.

Looking at him this way, Wen Ran thought him incredibly handsome and charming.

Her heart rate quickened as her gaze met his deep and bountiful eyes, and her expression unconsciously softened.

“Ranran, come here!”

Mo Xiuchen’s voice was low and magnetic. As he spoke, he beckoned casually for her to come over.

Gu Kai glanced back at him and moved aside.

“After last time’s lesson, I didn’t dare to wait for Mo Xiuchen to come find Ranran, so I conscientiously brought her back.”

Shen Yuting teased, following Wen Ran into the office.

Wen Ran walked to the sofa and naturally placed her hand on Mo Xiuchen’s clearly defined palm—sitting down in the space next to him.

Mo Xiuchen sat upright, using one hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear. His deep gaze met hers, seemingly checking for any changes in her after she had been gone for an hour or so.

“Mo Xiuchen, you’d better check carefully. I didn’t let Ranran lose even a single hair.”

Shen Yuting also came over and sat down on another sofa.

Wen Ran glanced at her in a slightly irritated way, then turned to Gu Kai with a smile and asked casually, “Brother, did you do a health check-up on Mo Xiuchen?”

Gu Kai refilled a cup of water for her and Shen Yuting. Hearing Wen Ran’s words while coming back, he raised an eyebrow and smiled, giving her a cup of water, “Would I dare to not carry out your instructions. Don’t worry, Xiuchen is healthier than me. You should spare some time to care about me in the future.”

“Pfft… Cousin, you have so many nurses and beautiful patients to look after you, why would you need Ranran to worry about you?”

Shen Yuting couldn’t help laughing.

Gu Kai glanced at her, while Wen Ran feigned realization, “Brother, is that why you didn’t want me to introduce girlfriends to you? Could it be, you’ve already got someone in mind? Is it a colleague from your hospital, or a hot family member of one of your patients? I hear that the daughter of President Wu recently…”

“Ranran, Ah Kai is someone with very high standards, normal beauties will not catch his eye.”

Wen Ran’s words were interrupted by Mo Xiuchen. His large palm gently wrapped around her small hand. He didn’t mind the presence of two others seated on the couch across. Pausing again, he said, “Your nails need to be clipped again. When we get home, I’ll do it for you.”

“Sure, my nails are all entrusted to you then.”

Wen Ran let out a playful laugh with her quip.

Mo Xiuchen’s eyes momentarily twinkled, and the smile on his lips deepened, “No problem.”

“You two go ahead and leave if you have nothing else, at least spare some feelings for a bachelor like me, and stop showing off your affection in front of me.”

Gu Kai chased them away.

Mo Xiuchen let out a hearty laugh, stood up while holding Wen Ran, “Ranran, let’s go.”

**

Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran did not head home but bought some ingredients, drove out of the city area, and started heading towards the suburbs. “Ranran, there’s a restaurant up ahead. If you’re hungry, we can go there and eat first.”

Mo Xiuchen was glancing at the traffic as he drove and spoke to Wen Ran sitting next to him.

She leaned against the car seat, her eyes elegant and peaceful, softly gazing at him driving. The small space inside the car felt tranquil and warm.

“I’m not hungry, you don’t need to stop the car. Let’s go straight to the destination. I’m more interested in the upcoming cherries.”

She looked up at him and said with a smiling face.

“Alright!”

Mo Xiuchen agreed with an indulgent smile, free a hand to fondle her hair, then took control of the steering wheel again.

Wen Ran grumbled and after a moment, asked with concern, “Xiuchen, are you tired? If you are, we can switch. You rest for a while, and I’ll drive.”

“Not tired.”

“Okay then, you drive carefully. I will be responsible for enjoying the scenery.”

Wen Ran looked out of the car window. The roadside trees and the distant buildings retreated rapidly. As they got further away from the city noise, they could see various fruit tress and fruits along the way, the air was also noticeably fresh.

They arrived at the destination at one o’clock in the afternoon.

“Ranran, are you hungry?”

The car drove into a countryside villa. Mo Xiuchen parked the car and, leaning over, asked Wen Ran sitting in the passenger seat.

Wen Ran touched her stomach, but her eyes were drawn to the cherries on the trees outside the car window. She could not take her eyes off them greedily. “Hungry!”

Mo Xiuchen chuckled, “I’ll pick some cherries for you to eat while I prepare lunch, how about that?”

Wen Ran’s eyes lit up, not because of his words, but because the villa was surrounded by cherry trees and each tree carried enough fruit for her to eat for several days.

“No need, I’ll just climb the tree myself, there’s no need for you to pick them for me.”

He had just unbuckled her seat belt when she jumped out of the car and rushed towards the cherry tree a few steps away.

“Ranran!”

Mo Xiuchen wanted to protest, saying that climbing the tree to eat wasn’t safe.

But seeing Wen Ran climb up the tree agilely like a monkey, in just a few quick moves, holding onto a branch with one hand and popping a bright red cherry into her mouth with the other. The sunlight piercing through the branches struck her fair, pretty face, highlighting her sweet smile. She looked so bright and beautiful that he just melted.

He could not find it in him to make her come down.

Seeing him standing there watching her, Wen Ran winked at him and cheerily called out, “Xiuchen, come over, these cherries are so delicious. Come quick, I’ll pick one for you to try.”

Mo Xiuchen smiled, catching her leaning out to pick cherries on a far branch. He quickly advised, “Ranran, be careful, don’t pick the ones on the branches that are too far away.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t fall.”

The cherries growing towards the direction of the sun were big, and full of juicy freshness, making them the best to eat.

She leaned half of her body out, stretching out her arm, and finally picked a handful. She crouched down, bent down, and offered the cherries in her hand to Mo Xiuchen.

“Xiuchen, have a taste.”

Mo Xiuchen smiled and took the cherries from her hand, but said worriedly, “Ranran, come down. I’ll go up and pick them for you.”

“No need, I want to pick them in my own, it’s more fun that way.”

Wen Ran turned down his offer, but Mo Xiuchen protested, “It’s not hygienic to eat like this. Pick them down, wash them before eating.”

“Xiuchen, it rained last night, the cherries right now are very clean, they don’t need to be washed. You must be tired after driving a long time. You rest for a while, and I’ll continue picking cherries for you to eat.”

“But aren’t you hungry?”

Mo Xiuchen pretended to be stern, and Wen Ran raised her eyebrows in response, popping a cherry into her mouth—”I am eating now!”
