Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 749: 748 You are really an interesting person

Urged by Luo Haofeng, Wen Ran couldn’t help but laugh, “If you hadn’t asked me so many questions, would I have been delayed till now?”

Hearing Wen Ran’s words, Qin Mu also laughed, “Ah Feng, if Mo Xiuchen finds out you delayed Ranran from replying to his messages, you’ll be in trouble again.”

“Tsk, how would he know if you don’t tell him?”

Luo Haofeng raised his eyebrows, clearly unconcerned.

He’d previously had the experience of being manipulated by that scheming man, Mo Xiuchen.

Therefore, he knew, of course, that Qin Mu wasn’t just scaring him – that cunning Mo wouldn’t hesitate to turn against even his own family.

Wen Ran ignored the two of them and lowered her head to read the text message.

The content of the message Mo Xiuchen sent was: I dismissed that annoying secretary this morning. Now that she’s no longer in front of me, I feel relieved. So much so, I want to celebrate with a drink.

Wen Ran didn’t believe that Mo Xiuchen would actually drink alcohol, given his current physical condition.

Thus, her first instinct upon seeing his message was that Mo Xiuchen must be testing her.

Each of his messages was not a casual chat, he wasn’t the type to engage in idle chit-chat with a stranger.

She answered each of his tests cautiously.

She didn’t want to break her promise in any way.

In her view, as long as she didn’t provoke him of her own accord or tell him about their shared past, everything would be alright.

She hesitated for a moment before replying, “Getting rid of annoying people is indeed a joyous event, but if you become an alcoholic, it would be a loss.”

After reviewing her reply, she pressed the send button.

In a high-end apartment in D Country…

Mo Xiuchen was lounging lazily on the sofa, his long legs stretched out, one leg resting on the coffee table, a cup of warm water in hand.

When the message alert sounded, he smirked and set down his cup to pick up his phone.

Reading her reply, a charming, sexy smile played at the corners of Mo Xiuchen’s mouth, and his eyes slightly narrowed.

After considering her message for a moment, he replied, “You’re truly a fascinating person.”

After sending the message, he chuckled to himself.

Become an alcoholic? Had he ever turned into one?

Although he couldn’t remember his past…

He didn’t believe that he was the type to drown his sorrows in alcohol or unable to control his emotions.

No matter what happened, he would always find a way to resolve situations, not turn into an alcoholic.

For a moment, he had the urge to call her, to hear her voice again — that gentle, soft voice that brought such comfort.

But as his finger was about to touch the screen, he resisted.

The words ‘you dialed the wrong number’ from their previous phone call crossed his mind. It made him feel a bit dejected because he was certain he knew her, he was sure of it.

From their frequent text exchanges, he could sense it.

Her deliberate coldness, her deliberate concealment — she must be hiding something.

Who was she to him in the past? And why did she choose to avoid him after he lost his memory?

Why hadn’t his father ever mentioned her, leaving him under the impression that he only knew about Cheng Jia during his past thirty years?

But how could that be possible?

The smile on Mo Xiuchen’s face turned slightly cold.

Even if he couldn’t retrieve his memory, he methodically vowed to himself to figure out the people in his life before this memory gap.

Where did the emptiness and sorrow in the deepest recesses of his heart during his midnight dreams come from?

Originally, he could have sought other ways to retrieve his past.

But he had chosen not to.

Especially after she insisted that he had called the wrong number, his heart had unconsciously desired more contact with her.

He no longer planned to seek other avenues.

He liked to randomly send her a message when he was free, and chat with her this way.

Telling her about his current situation.

Even though she replied with caution, choosing her words carefully, she couldn’t hide her concern for him in her messages.

Let alone her revealed concern in her messages…

Just the fact that she had the patience to hold an in-depth conversation with a ‘stranger’ gave him an incredibly familiar feeling.

He was certain that she was not a stranger to him.

After Mo Xiuchen sent that message, he waited a while but didn’t receive another message from Wen Ran.

He thought that perhaps she was busy at work and didn’t have time to reply to his message.

Picking up his cup of water from the coffee table, he took a drink and then headed off to take a shower.

After he finished his shower, Mo Xiuchen sat on the sofa and dialed Secretary Wu, asking her to come to his house.

For convenience, Mo Xiuchen had arranged for Secretary Wu to live in Cheng Jia’s apartment.

Right across from him, she arrived within a minute after Secretary Wu knocked on his front door.

Mo Xiuchen got up to answer the door, and Secretary Wu bowed slightly, respectfully saying, “President.”

“Come in first.”

Mo Xiuchen indifferently replied before turning around and sitting back down on the sofa.

Secretary Wu was a little nervous as she didn’t know why he had called her over.

“I only have warm water at home. Would you like some?”

Mo Xiuchen leaned back into his sofa, his profound gaze fixed on Secretary Wu.

She shook her head, “President, I’m not thirsty, is there anything you want to give me instructions about?”

“Don’t be nervous. I called you over, just for a casual chat.”

Mo Xiuchen’s features relaxed, the edges of his handsome face softening. His overall aura didn’t carry the same oppressive feel as before but became slightly warmer.

Secretary Wu forced a smile, but it still seemed slightly awkward.

If Mo Xiuchen was asking her to discuss work, she wouldn’t be this nervous. But, the more he insisted it was a casual chat, the more she feared what he might ask.

Before coming to D Country, Mo Jing had warned her about what she should and shouldn’t disclose.

If she let slip something she shouldn’t have said, then what awaited her would be…

Mo Xiuchen observed Secretary Wu without a word.

When he noticed her anxiety, he casually asked, “You just came from our home country recently. I assume you would have some insight into Haochen’s current situation?”

Secretary Wu was taken aback.

It seemed she was surprised that he was asking about Haochen. She had thought that he wanted to ask about his past.

Even so, she didn’t dare to be careless.

After mentally considering how to respond, she answered truthfully, “Indeed, President. I am somewhat familiar with Haochen’s situation. A few months ago, they poached a group of elite staff from our company. Their growth has been rapid in recent months.”

“Yes, I know about that. Cheng Jia mentioned it. What I want to know is, how did Haochen manage to poach our elite workers?”

Mo Xiuchen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

That innate demeanor of a monarch suddenly filled the room, causing Secretary Wu to become instantly nervous once again.

Although she hasn’t been with the MS Group for long…

She had heard that those elites were taken by Mo Xiuchen himself.

When he left the MS Group, not only did his two best friends follow him, but he also took a large number of key staff.

It was said that Mo Xiuchen had nurtured them for years.

Even Haochen’s conflicts with the MS Group during that time were orchestrated by Mo Xiuchen, and Mo Zixuan was not a match for him at all.

With these key staff removed, the company was like an empty shell. Mo Zixuan naturally couldn’t compete.

But of course, Secretary Wu couldn’t dare to say any of this.

If she did, that old chairman would never let her go.
