Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 786: 785 accompanying me to familiarize with City C

Mo Xiuchen picked up on the displeasure in Mo Jingteng’s tone and gave a cold smile. His voice was deep and indifferent, “I am dealing with some personal matters.”

“Mo Xiuchen, you’re amnesiac, what personal matters could you possibly have? Unless… you’ve regained your memory?”

The last part was asked hesitantly by Mo Jingteng.

Mo Xiuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, exhibiting frustration due to his lack of recollection, “I haven’t regained my memory. Dad, did you call me for a reason?”

Wen Ran, standing by Mo Xiuchen’s side, felt a heartache every time she heard him saying ‘Dad’.

Although the relationship between Mo Xiuchen and Mo Jingteng wasn’t particularly fatherly, it was clear from Mo Xiuchen’s voice that he only held respect towards Mo Jingteng as a son would to his father.

...
However, thinking about their past relationship and Mo Jingteng’s manipulative nature, she felt sorry for Mo Xiuchen.

Sensing her mood, Mo Xiuchen turned to look at her. Wen Ran immediately casts her eyes down, bending over to pick up the water cup from the coffee table and heads to the kitchen to clean it.

“What about D Country?”

“Everything is normal over there,” replied Mo Xiuchen calmly, directing his gaze towards the slender figure in the kitchen.

“Mo Xiuchen, since you’re back, you can be responsible for this round of bidding…”

Wen Ran didn’t turn around while cleaning the kitchen. She could feel the eyes on her. After cleaning the dishes and the kitchen, she moved to clean the bedroom, all while Mo Xiuchen and Mo Jingteng were still on the phone.

By the time Mo Xiuchen finished the call, she had already done all the house chores.

Seeing her holding the garbage bag, Mo Xiuchen stepped forward, stretched out his hand to take it from her, and said, “Ranran, let me take out the trash for you.”

“Please, no need.”

Wen Ran instinctively sidestepped. How could she let him do that? Seemingly seeing through her thoughts, Mo Xiuchen gave a slight smile and said with nonchalance, “Ranran, I did say I want to pursue you. Helping you carry the trash is not a big deal. I am unfamiliar with City C, it would be great if you could show me around.”

This time, he snatched the garbage bag from her hand forcefully.

Wen Ran felt helpless, seeing him acting stubbornly, she couldn’t utter a rejection. It seemed like the only choice left was to show him around City C.

“Let’s go, Ranran.”

Mo Xiuchen looked at her hesitant expression and chuckled lightly, putting his arm around hers, “Worst comes to worst, I’ll play your chauffeur and we can take a round trip around City C.”

Wen Ran’s eyes widened in shock. Some emotion quickly flitted in her eyes before fading away as she met his smiling eyes.

Mo Xiuchen squinted, a glint of sharpness flashing across his eyes. But in an instant, he regained his composite, “Ranran, is something wrong?”

Wen Ran shook her head, “Not at all.”

“Alright, let’s go then.” Mo Xiuchen’s lips curved upward delightfully as he walked towards the door.

Once they stepped out of the building, Mo Xiuchen took out the trash and walked back to where a car was parked. Wen Ran had already occupied the driver’s seat, while he slipped into the passenger’s side.

Wen Ran turned over the question, “Where do you want to go?” **

G City

Cheng Jia had just woken up when she received a call from Mo Jingteng.

She was planning to go to the temple today to pray as she had recently been going through a tough time.

She had hurt her foot in D Country, got slapped twice by Bai Xiaoxiao at the airport when she returned, was scared unconscious by Wen Ran, and then got slapped again a few days later…

She hoped to pray for both Mo Xiuchen’s heart and for anyone who eve wronged her, like Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao, to drop dead.

After thinking for a few days, she concluded that the only solution was for Wen Ran to disappear from this world; only then would Mo Xiuchen be hers alone.

Otherwise, even if she won Mo Xiuchen’s body, she would always worry that he might regain memory one day.

Seeing the incoming call, Cheng Jia’s eyes flashed with confusion: Why would Mo Jingten call her early in the morning?

She hesitated for a moment before accepting the call, her voice respectful, “Hello, Chairman.”

“Cheng Jia, do you know where Mo Xiuchen is?”

There was an authority in Mo Jingten’s voice, one that had been bolstered by occupying a high position for a long time. Even over the phone, his overpowering presence could still be felt.

Cheng Jia was surprised, “Chairman, isn’t Mo Xiuchen in D Country?”

“He’s back, and you don’t even know about it. Cheng Jia, didn’t you confidently state that as long as Wen Ran isn’t around, you’d surely win over Mo Xiuchen’s heart? Now what happened? Not only were you driven away by him, but you’re also unaware of his return.”

The remark from Mo Jingten took Cheng Jia aback, “Chairman, are you saying that Mo Xiuchen really returned?”

Was he the one who called her to open the door? Impossible, she dismissed.

She quickly negated that thought. How could Mo Xiuchen have come back without telling her? Based on Mo Jingteng’s tone, he seemed to be unaware of Mo Xiuchen’s whereabouts as well.

“Yes, Secretary Wu told me about it. He said Mo Xiuchen has returned. Hasn’t he contacted you?”

“No.”

“Call Mo Xiuchen right now and ask him where he is.”

Mo Jingteng’s voice was dripping with impatience. Cheng Jia furrowed her brows, her mind was in turmoil.

As she pondered, she asked, “Chairman, isn’t Mo Xiuchen at home?”

“Obvious isn’t it? If Mo Xiuchen were home, why would I be asking you? Cheng Jia, if you lack the ability to win over Mo Xiuchen, I might have to choose someone else.”

…

After hanging up, Cheng Jia was lost in thought.

Where could Mo Xiuchen possibly go? He has lost his memory and has no recollection of his past?

Suddenly, she remembered Wen Ran.

Did Mo Xiuchen go to see Wen Ran? She found her face turning pale at the mere thought. The call he made that night, was it to Wen Ran? How did Wen Ran manage to make contact with Mo Xiuchen? Was it Wen Ran who initiated the contact, seducing Mo Xiuchen? As these thoughts raced through Cheng Jia’s mind, her hatred started to grow uncontrollably, distorting her face.

She immediately dialed Wen Ran’s number.

Meanwhile, Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen hadn’t left yet. Mo Jingteng had just finished his call with Mo Xiuchen when he called Cheng Jia.

Just as Wen Ran got a call, Mo Xiuchen was thinking about where to go.

“Ranran, you answer the call first.” Mo Xiuchen’s gaze was tender as he spoke gently.

Wen Ran took out her phone. When she saw the caller, she looked a bit taken aback. Mo Xiuchen squinted his eyes, a probing look flitting across his gaze, but he didn’t utter a single word.
