Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 747: Do you not know Mo Xiuchen?

Thinking of this, the tears in Cheng Jia’s eyes were replaced by genuine joy.

She gazed at Mo Xiuchen with sparkly eyes, asking him excitedly, “Xiuchen, does this mean if I recover from my foot injury, you will marry me? I will definitely recover before the wedding date; then we would not need to delay our wedding.”

Mo Xiuchen lifted his hand to massage his temple, looking a bit agitated, “When we get back, just focus on your recovery. Don’t think too much.”

Cheng Jia’s eyes dimmed to see Mo Xiuchen pick up his chopsticks and start eating a small bun.

She pursed her lips in disappointment, picking up her spoon to eat her porridge.

During this breakfast, Mo Xiuchen didn’t utter a single word.

Cheng Jia was lost in her thoughts and didn’t speak either. The atmosphere was unusually silent.

After breakfast, Cheng Jia mustered up courage to say, “Xiuchen, can I stay? I want to be with you. Your health is not yet fully recovered and you need regular check-ups. I promise I won’t wander around alone. I will stay inside…”

Mo Xiuchen didn’t say anything. He just watched her with a cold gaze.

However, Cheng Jia lost her voice under his deep and indifferent expression.

She saw resentment and indifference in his eyes as well as something she could not describe that was chilling her to the bone.

It seemed to silently tell her, if she didn’t return as he ordered, he would no longer give her any opportunities.

Cheng Jia shivered inwardly, clenching her hands and avoiding his gaze by lowering her head.

Seeing Cheng Jia not speaking anymore, Mo Xiuchen pulled out his chair, stood up, and said before leaving the dining table, “I asked Secretary Wu to come before eight. You should first go back and pack up your luggage, she should be here soon.”

After saying that, without even giving Cheng Jia a glance, he turned and left the dining room, entering his study room.

The next morning, Wen Ran opened the door and saw Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng coming down the stairs. Qin Mu smiled and said, “Ranran, you are just in time. Let’s go to breakfast together.”

A surprised expression flashed across Luo Haofeng’s face. He blinked and asked, “Ah Mu, when did you start calling Wen Ran so affectionately? If Xiuchen finds out, he will definitely be jealous.”

Wen Ran, taken aback, turned to look at Luo Haofeng.

Noticing her bewildered expression, Luo Haofeng immediately explained and complained, “Ranran, you don’t know, Xiuchen is so bossy. Long ago, Ah Mu and I felt it was too formal to always address you as Wen Ran, and we wanted to change it, like him, and call you Ranran.”

Wen Ran was surprised. She didn’t know about this at all.

Luo Haofeng paused for a moment, then continued, “However, Xiuchen didn’t allow it. He said that you were his wife and we didn’t need to be too familiar with you, nor did we need to foster a closer relationship.”

“Isn’t it unfair? He always bullies Ah Mu and me, but he doesn’t let Ah Kai and Ah Jin address you casually.”

Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh. After giving Luo Haofeng a sidelong glance, he turned to Wen Ran and said, “Let’s go. After breakfast, Ah Feng is leaving for the airport. If you have any instructions or need him to do something, just tell him.”

Wen Ran looked at Luo Haofeng. Luo Haofeng’s smile stiffened a bit when she mentioned his return to G City. Seeing Wen Ran, he quickly put on a smile and casually said, “Yes, I am leaving soon. Ranran, if you need my help with anything, just tell me. ”

This new way of addressing each other seemed to flow quite naturally between them.

Wen Ran smiled, shaking her head, “There is nothing for now. Let’s go have breakfast. After breakfast, we’ll take you to the airport.”

The three of them went downstairs together and had breakfast at a nearby restaurant. Wen Ran and Qin Mu took Luo Haofeng to the airport. Just after they started driving, An Lin called.

“Hello, An Lin.”

Wen Ran’s soft voice rang in the car. Luo Haofeng glanced at her from the front seat and turned back around.

“Ranran, are you and Ah Mu dropping Ah Feng off at the airport?”

“Yes, we are.”

Wen Ran responded gently. She heard An Lin say on the other end of the phone, “Am I too late again? Where are you guys now?”

Apparently, An Lin was also coming to see Luo Haofeng off.

She lived quite far away from their apartment. Last night, she slept late, so she woke up late this morning.

Wen Ran could sense An Lin’s frustration in her voice. She couldn’t help but chuckle, “An Lin, there’s no need for you to come. Ah Mu and I are sending Luo Haofeng off already. You should head to the company first. We’ll be back soon.”

On the other end, An Lin’s aggrieved voice came, “Alright, if you and Ah Mu are sending him off, I won’t go. I’m heading back to the office.”

“Okay.”

Wen Ran, still smiling, hung up the phone. After hanging up, she told Luo Haofeng about the call from An Lin. Luo Haofeng casually acknowledged the information.

“Luo Haofeng, I called Xiaoxiao last night.”

Wen Ran was silent for a few seconds before continuing. Her voice was calm and soft, without any indication of resentment towards Luo Haofeng for deciding to break up with Bai Xiaoxiao.

She was not the kind of person who would act irrationally just because she knew the person.

The situation between Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao was not necessarily their fault, but entangled with past grudges of the elders.

That night, Xiaoxiao’s mother had told her the reason.

She had an unforgettable love affair with Luo Haofeng’s father. Yet, she ended up being let down.

If Luo Haofeng’s father had been honest with her back then, it would have been better.

But he was not. While dating a woman from a rich and prestigious family, matching the Luo family’s status, he was deceiving Bai Xiaoxiao’s mother.

Not only was Mother Bai emotionally hurt by him, but she was also publicly insulted and slapped in the face by that woman, who accused her of seducing a married man.

It was then that she realized that the man she deeply loved, who promised to love her for a lifetime, had sworn his love to another woman…

No wonder Mother Bai was so adamant against Xiaoxiao being with Luo Haofeng. She knew the Luo family’s view on status all too well and firmly believed that like father, like son. She didn’t want Xiaoxiao to go through the same ordeal.

In the front seat, Luo Haofeng’s eyes slightly shifted. He lowered his head and a stream of emotions flashed in his eyes before turning his head to ask Wen Ran in the back seat, “Ranran, what did you say to Xiaoxiao?”

Wen Ran noticed the suppression in his gaze. She felt slightly depressed but calmly replied, “Actually, the night I went to pick up Xiaoxiao, I advised her that if she felt you guys were not suitable, it would be best to end it sooner. Xiaoxiao might have been distressed, but she’s a reasonable girl. She told me that as long as you proposed the breakup, she wouldn’t cling on or blame you. In the future, if you both can’t be lovers, you can still be friends.”

“Really?”

Luo Haofeng suddenly laughed, but his smile was filled with sadness and bitterness.

“Being friends isn’t necessarily worse than being lovers. Ah Feng, if a girl like Bai Xiaoxiao can take it so lightly, what else is bothering you? What can’t you get through?” Qin Mu added, his low voice devoid of emotion.

Luo Haofeng nodded and pretended to be carefree, “Ranran, Ah Mu, you’re right. Even if Xiaoxiao and I break up, we can still be friends.”
