Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 771: 770 I didn’t have any intimate behavior with her.

After sending the message, Mo Xiuchen turned his head and said to Secretary Wu, “You wait in the car for me first.”

“…Yes, Mr. President.”

Secretary Wu paused in surprise, before respectfully replying and quickly headed toward the parking lot.

Mo Xiuchen stood tall under the sunshine, his brooding eyes shrouded in shadows.

His handsome features were accentuated in depth and dimension, his thin lips set in a stern line. There was a hint of anticipation in his deep, pool-like eyes.

He didn’t know what favor Wen Ran would ask of him, but he would agree to whatever she requested.

Not because he had identified her as the person he had forgotten.

But because although he had only met her once and talked a few words with her, he found himself liking her.

Why would he refuse to help and make happy a woman who could stir his emotions?

Glancing in the direction of the parking lot, Secretary Wu and the driver had already gotten into the car. With long strides, Mo Xiuchen walked to the roadside just as Wen Ran’s message came in.

“Call Cheng Jia later.”

Seeing this message, an element of confusion flickered across Mo Xiuchen’s face. Why did Ranran want him to call Cheng Jia?

He stared at the message for a while before dialing Wen Ran’s number.

Meanwhile, in the private room on the third floor of Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, Luo Haofeng had just said, “Ranran, Mo Xiuchen will definitely call you – ”

Wen Ran’s phone rang promptly.

Wen Jin and Gu Kai could not help but laugh, Bai Xiaoxiao exclaimed excitedly: “Ranran, Mo Xiuchen is calling, pick up quickly.”

“Alright.”

Suppressing her excitement, Wen Ran answered the call in front of everyone, her voice softly spilling from her lips: “Hello?”

“Ranran.”

When that deep and magnetic voice entered her ear-

Wen Ran’s expression changed, her hand holding the phone uncontrollably jittered, nearly causing her phone to slip from her grasp.

For a moment, she deluded herself into thinking ‘Mo Xiuchen was back.’

It was as if he had never suffered amnesia, as if he had never forgotten her. As if he had just been overseas on a business trip and wanted to call her because he missed her like he used to.

The way he called her ‘Ranran’ was so affectionate and normal. There was a touch of tenderness in his voice unvoiced.

Wen Ran felt her heart skip a beat, followed by a surge of emotion that welled up in her eyes.

Her eyes unexpectedly became moist.

She had forgotten how to speak, and was standing there in a daze.

Bai Xiaoxiao, who was close by, heard Mo Xiuchen’s voice and was so shocked that she opened her eyes wide.

Wen Jin, Gu Kai, and Luo Haofeng were slightly surprised and puzzled.

On the other side of the call, Mo Xiuchen noted the silence that followed his ‘Ranran’ and felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

He didn’t know what expression Wen Ran had at that moment.

But an affectionate call, accompanied by a touch of tenderness that left her speechless, bewilderment or distress.

He involuntarily visualized the complex astonishment in her eyes when she had seen him that night.

The grip on his phone tensed up a bit.

It took Wen Ran over ten seconds to suppress the emotions stirring within her.

Tightly pressing her lips together, she tried to make her voice sound calm.

However, Mo Xiuchen had figured out that she was Wen Ran; she could not repetitively deny it.

Since she was asking for his help, why should she be afraid to acknowledge who she was?

“I have some grievances with your fiancée, Cheng Jia.”

“Ranran, did Cheng Jia bully you? How can I help you?”

Before she could finish speaking, Mo Xiuchen interrupted her. His first ‘Ranran’ had a touch of inquiry.

But the second time he called her, it felt so natural that he even liked it himself.

Hearing his question about how he could help her, Wen Ran felt a mix of emotions. She didn’t know whether she was touched, heartbroken, or happy.

A graceful smile appeared on her face: “I wonder, is Cheng Jia afraid of ghosts?”

Wen Ran didn’t directly speak about wanting to scare Cheng Jia; she harbored some selfish thoughts.

She hoped that Mo Xiuchen was still in-sync with her, that she only needed to drop a hint for him to understand her intentions.

Mo Xiuchen didn’t disappoint her. Even though he had lost his memories, perhaps they were no longer in sync.

However, as astute as he was, when she gave him a hint, he immediately understood her intention.

“Ranran, Cheng Jia told me she was scared of ghosts. However, I’m not sure if that’s true.”

While his voice was deep and magnetic, quite pleasant to hear, Wen Ran felt a subtle discomfort in her heart as she listened to his words.

Under what circumstances did Cheng Jia tell him that she was afraid of ghosts?

When a woman tells a man something like that, particularly when it’s a man she is fond of, there is likely some ulterior motive.

She couldn’t help but wonder how Mo Xiuchen had responded when Cheng Jia confessed her fear of ghosts…

As if perceiving her thoughts, Mo Xiuchen chuckled lightly over the phone and added, “What I said the other day about Cheng Jia and I having no relationship is true. The first person I saw when I woke up was Ah Kai, your brother.”

Wen Ran felt a mix of surprise and excitement.

Her heartbeat began to race again. She gripped her phone tightly, not knowing whether to interrupt Mo Xiuchen’s words, yet wanting to hear more of his voice.

In the end, she couldn’t bring herself to interrupt him as he explained over the phone, “I don’t know him. In fact, when I woke up, I didn’t know anyone, including myself.”

“The next day, a man claiming to be my father and my supposed fiancée arranged for my transfer to another hospital. For some reason, I just did not like them.”

Wen Ran bit her lip, forcing herself not to ask questions, but to simply be a listener.

She knew that Mo Xiuchen must have felt very lonely during the time he had amnesia.

If he had liked Cheng Jia, it would have been okay. But he didn’t, even with amnesia he didn’t like Cheng Jia.

Without someone he liked by his side, who could he possibly share his thoughts with? If he wanted to talk to her, he would gladly listen.

“Cheng Jia was indeed very kind to me, not only was she kind to me, but she also tried various methods to seduce me. But I didn’t like her. Without any rhyme or reason, I just didn’t like her. From the moment she appeared before me to the time she returned to her home country, we did not engage in any intimate behavior. Not even holding hands.”

When she heard this, Wen Ran felt a tang of sourness at the tip of her nose.

Although Wen Jin and the others didn’t know why she remained silent –

From her changing expression, they could deduce a bit, and everyone became quiet, not daring to interrupt.

Wen Ran’s heart was moved and also grieving.

She was moved by Mo Xiuchen’s words that seemed like an explanation to her.

What made her grieve was during his solitary days, she was not by his side. It should have been her taking care of him.

But those were days when Cheng Jia was taking care of him.

Although Mo Xiuchen’s voice was very calm and no sadness was discernible, Wen Ran could sense the hidden sorrow in his tone.
