Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 646: 645 I will not protect her for you

Mo Xiuchen’s mouth lifted into a bitter smile, his gaze unconsciously falling in the direction of the door. Through the white maple door, it seemed like he could see Wen Ran’s peaceful and tranquil face as she slept on the bed.

He couldn’t describe the myriad of emotions swirling in his heart, as if he had knocked over a bottle of mixed spices.

If all he had to do was investigate the winery, he could have done it himself without taking much time, He did not have to make Ah Mu come to G City to take care of Ranran.

He was afraid. He was afraid that Gu Yan, Brown, Joseph, and others would fail to develop a cure for the disease, and that Fu Jingyi, rather than being the man of honor he promised to be, could hardly be relied upon.

Just in case, if he were to leave Ranran, he would hope that Ah Mu could safeguard the woman he loved. Even though Ranran did not love Qin Mu, Qin Mu loved Ranran. For this reason alone, he would protect her, not letting her suffer in the slightest.

“Ah Mu!”

The sound of Mo Xiuchen’s voice suddenly became low, carrying a trace of the chilliness of the night, accompanied by complicated feelings that were difficult to resolve. When Qin Mu heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he blurted out, “Xiuchen, are you hiding something from us?”

An hour ago, Qin Mu received a call from Luo Haofeng. Over the phone, he told him that Xiuchen was going to City C for work tomorrow and Wen Ran wouldn’t be going with him.

Upon hearing this, Qin Mu found it strange. From his understanding of Mo Xiuchen, he was likely to want to have Wen Ran by his side every second of every minute. This had been true in the past, and it should be even more so now.

Even if Wen Ran suggested for him to go to City C, even if Wen Ran was unwilling to go with him, as long as he wanted, he could definitely convince Wen Ran to go to City C with him.

Not long ago, when Wen Ran had decided to get a divorce, he was able to keep her by his side. So, now that Wen Ran’s illness was basically cured and she only required further recuperation, they should be leading a genuinely happy life.

After ending the call with Luo Haofeng, Qin Mu thought for a long time, and finally, called Mo Xiuchen.

Ever since Mo Xiuchen learned of his feelings for Wen Ran, he had been somewhat avoiding him, particularly when it came to matters between Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran – if he could avoid them, he would.

But tonight, he asked about it right away.

Mo Xiuchen naturally knew about Qin Mu’s worries.

The only people who knew about his situation were Gu Yan and his son Gu Kai. Even Wen Jin was unaware. Luo Haofeng was also kept in the dark.

“Ah Mu, Ranran’s recovery from her illness is not due to the medicine developed by Brown and Joseph. It’s because Fu Jingyi told me the method. I had transferred the ‘poison’ that he had implanted in Ranran’s body for over twenty years into my own.”

“Xiuchen, you’re crazy!”

Qin Mu, who was usually calm, lost his cool upon hearing Mo Xiuchen’s words.

He couldn’t believe that Mo Xiuchen had chosen this method to cure Wen Ran’s illness.

But Mo Xiuchen laughed. His smile was noble and handsome. In his deep and gentle voice, there was no trace of regret, only the joy of being able to save the one he loved. “Ah Mu, I’m not crazy, believe it or not? When I found out that Ranran’s illness could really be cured in this way, I was actually very grateful to Fu Jingyi, grateful for his perversion.”

On the other end of the phone, Qin Mu was silent.

He didn’t know what to say anymore.

He saw clearly the love Mo Xiuchen had for Wen Ran.

In the past, he envied Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran for their love and was happy for them. But now, for the first time, he had a different idea.

He wished time could go back to when Mo Xiuchen had not met Wen Ran.

And Wen Ran had not met Mo Xiuchen. In this case, Xiuchen wouldn’t have done so many crazy things because of Wen Ran.

He wouldn’t be so wounded by love that seemed to bring happiness but instead staked his life.

“Ah Mu, Ranran’s father is still in D Country. He and Brown, as well as Joseph, are working day and night to experiment in the hopes of developing a cure. But, I didn’t expect that as soon as the bizarre ‘poison’ entered my body, it would quickly erode and spread, showing the effects that were beyond my expectations.”

“So why are you going to City C? You should go to D Country. Tomorrow, I’ll go to G City and accompany you abroad.”

Without waiting for Mo Xiuchen to finish his sentence, Qin Mu angrily cut him off.

They had been brothers for over twenty years and had never argued. But this time, if it weren’t for the great distance between them, Qin Mu really wanted to give Mo Xiuchen a good beating.

When his body began to change, he could still remain so calm, continue investigating Fu Jingyi, and even manage the company in City C. He must be out of his mind!

“Ah Mu, it’s not necessary. I’ll go to D Country in a few days. But first, I have to go to City C. Finish the work in A City first. I made a bet with Fu Jingyi. If I find him, he will tell me the cure. So for now, I’m just trying to find a way to save myself.”

The tone of Mo Xiuchen’s voice was very calm. He didn’t seem to be frightened or saddened by his impending death in a month. Even if he couldn’t defeat the illness in the end, he wanted to find Fu Jingyi to prevent Ranran from getting hurt.

And to arrange for her life afterward.

“Xiuchen, do as you wish. But, I won’t take over the responsibility of protecting Wen Ran for you. She’s your wife. If anyone is to protect her, it’s you.”

Qin Mu was very angry, really angry.

The calmer Mo Xiuchen was, the angrier he became.

Mo Xiuchen just laughed at him. His voice even took on a joyous tone. “Ah Mu, if I can’t accompany Ranran to walk on, I hope that you can be by her side. Besides, you, I don’t trust anyone else.”

He believed in him, because he knew of Qin Mu’s feelings for Wen Ran.

“Don’t worry, if I die, Ranran won’t remember me.”

“Mo Xiuchen, keep dreaming. I told you that I’m not going to protect Wen Ran for you, but that doesn’t mean I’ll actually do it. Besides, Wen Ran could never forget you. Even if she loses her memory, you would still be in her heart. How long is the deadline for your bet with Fu Jingyi?”

Qin Mu asked aggressively, already so angry with Mo Xiuchen that he wanted to kill.

“Two months.”

“Good, I promise that within two months, I will find Fu Jingyi for you.”

Qin Mu said through gritted teeth.

Two months was the deadline agreed upon by Mo Xiuchen and Fu Jingyi during their phone call.

From then to this moment, a month had already passed.

This meant that there was only one month left until the deadline for the bet with Fu Jingyi. His life, too, was the same, with only one month left.

Without him explaining, Qin Mu figured it out after a moment of silence. “Two months is the period you initially set for the bet. Since you and Wen Ran have been back in the country for so long, there should be only one month left. Xiuchen, I don’t care how you deceive Wen Ran, but you must hurry back to D Country for treatment. I promise to find Fu Jingyi within a month!”

If this had been in the past, Qin Mu might not have dared to say this.

But now, they already had a clue. Even if they had to use less than honorable means, as long as it achieved their goal, he didn’t care!
