Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 719: 718 Acquires Haochen

On one side, Wen Jin’s eyes flickered slightly, becoming a touch deeper.

The gaze of Gu Kai and Luo Haofeng simultaneously landed on Wen Ran.

They couldn’t hear what the person on the other end of the phone said, but Wen Ran’s words, ‘Don’t bother him’, took them aback.

“Ranran, why?”

Bai Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, “Simply because you once made a dreadful vow to Cheng Jia? Ranran, that was all a sham, there’s no need to take it to heart.”

Wen Ran chuckled ruefully, “Xiaoxiao, it matters to me.”

It mattered far too much to her.

“Cheng Jia isn’t seeing him.”

“I’m aware. He returned alone.”

Wen Ran’s smile warmed at the thought of Cheng Jia’s frustrated questioning and warnings, instantly lifting her gloom.

“Xiaoxiao, I want to let things be. You don’t need to do anything, I will come over in a bit.”

Wen Ran faltered, then added another sentence.

After hanging up, she saw that all three of them were looking at her.

Wen Ran smiled faintly, her tone light as a breeze, “This morning Cheng Jia called me, saying Mo Xiuchen might be returning. It wasn’t certain, but it seems like he actually did return.”

Gu Kai’s eyes tightened, he quickly said, “Ranran, Cheng Jia initially used Mo Xiuchen to threaten you to swear, such a vow doesn’t count, you mustn’t believe it.”

“Brother.”

Sorrow filled Wen Ran’s voice. She couldn’t convince herself to overlook the dreadful vow she had made.

Wen Jin glanced at Gu Kai, then gently proposed, “Ranran, let’s go over there, say nothing, that can’t violate our vow, right? We’ve pretty much finished eating anyway. Ah Feng, Ah Kai, what do you think?”

Luo Haofeng immediately raised his hand, “I agree with Ah Jin’s suggestion. Wen Ran, let’s go pick up Xiaoxiao. Ah Kai, if Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen are truly destined, they will meet again. We don’t need to rush, let that conniving woman, Cheng Jia, admit her defeat.”

The implication was they wouldn’t mention the past in front of Mo Xiuchen, instead treating it like a brand new encounter.

If Mo Xiuchen falls for Wen Ran once again, they’d love to see the shame Cheng Jia would feel.

Gu Kai likewise nodded, his gaze querying Wen Ran.

“Okay.”

Wen Ran responded gently. She wanted to see Mo Xiuchen more than any of them.

Even if it was just a glance from afar, knowing he’s doing well was enough.

On the way to the charity dinner, Gu Kai glanced at the preoccupied Wen Ran sitting in the passenger seat.

He sighed softly and gently told her, “Ranran, I’ve actually had someone monitoring Mo Xiuchen’s life in D Country this past period.”

Although Cheng Jia’s title was his fiancée for the world to see, Mo Xiuchen was indifferent towards her. Also, the apartment they were living in was just door-to-door, they didn’t cohabitate.”

Wen Ran turned her head in surprise, looking at Gu Kai, “Brother, you…”

Gu Kai chuckled lightly, “Cheng Jia forced you to swear on Mo Xiuchen, forbidding anyone around you from revealing his past. I know you, once you make a vow, you will keep your word. I merely had someone pay slightly more attention to Mo Xiuchen’s life in D Country, without causing any disturbance, that doesn’t break the vow.”

“All I know is that Cheng Jia is merely Mo Xiuchen’s secretary in public’s eye. His attitude towards her is indifferent and distant. As for the intricate details, I can’t be sure. However, knowing Mo Xiuchen, after losing his memory, he would have reverted to his old cold and heartless self. He isn’t someone who would believe whatever he hears, and can’t be controlled by anyone; I don’t think he harbours any feelings for Cheng Jia.”

A touch of warmth percolated through Wen Ran’s heart.

She knew her brother cared about her, but didn’t expect…

He even had his friends in D Country surreptitiously monitoring things.

Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, Mo Xiuchen had already left.

Having lost his memory and Wen Ran, he’d attracted more infatuated women to his side.

As a result, Mo Xiuchen barely stayed at the dinner before he found it dull and left independently.

Mo Jingteng didn’t wish for him to stay at such places for long.

Fearing that some people would thoughtlessly divulge anything, he agreed wholeheartedly when he said he wanted to leave.

Mo Xiuchen drove aimlessly through the night in G City.

With no specific destination, hoping to invoke some memories from this city.

However, even after circling G City, there was still not a shred of familiarity.

The following day, there was a crisis in D Country, and Cheng Jia called for help.

Mo Xiuchen verbally berated her over the phone before booking a ticket back to D.

“Mo Xiuchen, focus your energy on exploring the European market instead. I will handle the matters on the home front.”

Upon hearing Mo Xiuchen say he was going to return to D, a weight lifted from Mo Jingteng’s heart, a smile appearing on his face.

Catching his minute changes in expression, Mo Xiuchen didn’t react.

Pretending to be nonchalant, he asked, “Why haven’t I heard about Haochen recently?”

Mo Jingteng laughed heartily, pride was evident in his voice, “Mo Xiuchen, Haochen is too busy getting his own affairs in order. For the time being, he wouldn’t dare to cross us.”

Upon reaching this point, Mo Jingteng paused before adding, “I plan to acquire Haochen in the near future. I’ve already had a proposal drafted.”

Mo Xiuchen’s gaze flickered, he picked up the tea from the table and took a light sip, “Alright, let me know once the acquisition proposal is complete.”

“That was my plan. The acquisition of Luo Hao, I’ll leave it in your hands. That would put my mind at ease.”

Mo Jingteng was pleased with Mo Xiuchen’s performance. Losing his memory was a good thing.

Despite his indifference remaining unchanged, and even though he wasn’t as close to him as he was with Mo Zixuan.

At the very least, he wouldn’t argue with him every three sentences like before.

And wouldn’t harbour resentment towards him.

Mo Jingteng was well aware of Mo Xiuchen’s share in Luo Hao.

But now, his motive behind instructing him to acquire Luo Hao wasn’t because of that share, instead it’s because back when Mo Zixuan took charge of the company, Luo Hao not only poached talent from MS Group, but also captured business opportunities.

Actively opposing MS Group, they even planned to gradually overtake MS Group.

This was an attempt to turn Luo Hao’s table.

His goals weren’t limited to Luo Hao, it extended to Wen Family’s Pharmaceuticals.

He intended to breach the relationship between Mo Xiuchen and Luo Haofeng, Qin Mu, Wen Jin, Gu Kai, and the rest.

Soothing music flowed through the coffee shop in the afternoon.

Post-rain sunshine shone through the clear glass, casting a tranquil glow on Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao, seated by the window. Their face, hair was dappled in a gentle halo of light, it was warm but not overly so.

“Ranran, these are the photos I secretly took last night.”

Bai Xiaoxiao handed her phone to Wen Ran who set down her coffee cup to receive it.

As her gaze found the handsome and frosty features in the photos,

An involuntary hint of gentle affection filled Wen Ran’s clear, water-like eyes.

She couldn’t bring herself to blink.

The man under the lights, his features iced and fair, his contoured aesthetic strikingly defined.

He was both familiar yet foreign to her.

She was fascinated.

Not far outside the glass window, within a black business car across the road.

A pair of deep-set eyes swept over her seated by the window causing his gaze to linger for a second.
