Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 798: 797 Ranran, you are quite enlightened

Wen Ran looked startled, and as she turned her head, she saw Qin Mu’s smiling eyes. She pulled up the corners of her mouth and tried to sound cheerful, “No need. I can pick up Xiaoxiao by myself. Carry on with your work.”

Qin Mu dropped his gaze, hiding the fleeting sadness in his eyes. When he looked up again, a faint smile spread across his face, “I’ve been super busy these days. I just want to be a bit lazy. Since you’re picking up Xiaoxiao alone, I can keep you company.”

These days, Qin Mu felt that Wen Ran was intentionally distancing herself from him.

He had been wanting to talk to her for quite some time, but he had been too busy. This afternoon, he finally got some free time. Seeing her going alone to fetch Bai Xiaoxiao, he intended to go with her.

After slight hesitation, Wen Ran nodded. Ascending a smile onto his lips, Qin Mu hurriedly walked towards the Engineering Department clutching the sample in his hand.

Qin Mu was quick. After less than five minutes of waiting, he arrived at the parking lot. Bending his waist slightly, he opened the door of the driver’s seat and said to Wen Ran sitting there, “Ranran, move to the other side. Let me drive.”

...
Wen Ran blinked in surprise, “Why?”

“You’ve been working overtime these days. You have even developed dark circles under your eyes. I don’t feel safe when you drive,” Qin Mu said seriously, uncharacteristically so.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ran frowned, but witnessing the playful smile on his lips afterward, she looked at him and said, “Okay, if you want to play the driver, I’ll indulge you. But drive a bit faster. If Xiaoxiao gets impatient from waiting, she will scold me again.”

Instead of getting off the car, she stood up and switched to the back seat directly.

Qin Mu’s eyes flickered, understanding what she meant by her words, ‘if you want to play the driver, I’ll indulge you’.

Ignoring the slight disappointment in his heart, he curved his lips into a gentle smile, softly cautioning, “Ranran, watch your head.”

“It’s okay.” Wen Ran responded affirmatively. As she sat down in the back seat, she casually handed him the delicate silk seat cushion beside her, “Qin Mu, this is for you.”

“Okay.”

Understanding her intention, he took it, placing it on the seat where she had just been sitting, before lowering himself into it.

“Ranran, since Bai Xiaoxiao came to City C to see you, when she leaves in a couple of days, why don’t you go back home with her too? I think Ah Kai and Ah Jin must miss you too, even if you don’t miss them.”

As the car started moving along the driveway with a steady speed towards the airport, the man in the driver’s seat, Qin Mu, looked at Wen Ran through the rearview mirror and said gently.

The outside scenery had captivated Wen Ran. But hearing his words, she turned her gaze back to him, “Your words echo exactly what An Lin had come to my office to say earlier – she was, in fact, persuading me to go back to G City.”

“Really? Then it seems you really should head back.” Qin Mu’s lips curved into a gentle smile, his narrow eyes holding a light hint of amusement.

They were all afraid that her relentless work might ruin her.

Recalling Mo Xiuchen’s words from half a month ago, a trace of bitterness emerged in Qin Mu’s heart.

He vividly remembered their encounter at the LD Building. Mo Xiuchen was waiting for him in the parking lot. Initially, Qin Mu was taken aback, but then he realized Mo Xiuchen was probably waiting for him.

With a friendly smile, he greeted him, “Mo Xiuchen, why haven’t you left yet?”

“I will go back to Haochen with you.” As soon as Mo Xiuchen got straight to the point, it made Qin Mu raise an eyebrow, “So, you’re heading to Haochen with me. Is there something you need to discuss?”

“I’m going to find Ranran.” Mo Xiuchen stated, and without waiting for an invitation, he got into Qin Mu’s car.

Looking at Mo Xiuchen, who hadn’t changed, Qin Mu chuckled. Within moments he felt cheered up – Mo Xiuchen was back himself.

Although he had lost his memory, his personality hadn’t changed. He was still arrogant, arrogant, …

On their way to Haochen, out of nowhere, Mo Xiuchen blurted out, “I already know that Ranran is my wife. Qin Mu, my grandfather told me that Ranran cheated on me with you. What is your take on this?”

At that moment, Qin Mu was driving with full concentration. He was startled by Mo Xiuchen’s words, and his hands twitched, causing the steering wheel to jolt to one side. Just then, another car was overtaking them. A minor collision was narrowly averted.

“Do you believe him?” Regaining control of the steering wheel, Qin Mu looked at him, annoyance clear in his eyes.

There wasn’t a shred of remorse on Mo Xiuchen’s face, neither did he look flustered. Instead, he wore a sly and enchanting smile.

He raised an eyebrow, his gaze sharp as he stared at Qin Mu, “That night, Ranran also told me that she has a boyfriend.”

Angered, Qin Mu pulled the car onto the roadside and turned around to glare at Mo Xiuchen, “Since that’s what you believe, then let’s presume it true.”

The peculiar Mo Xiuchen burst into a joyous laughter, “Qin Mu, don’t you want to tell me about the past either?”

“Why should I tell you?”

Qin Mu was still angry.

He, who was almost always calm and hardly showed any emotional change, was truly enraged by Mo Xiuchen.

Just now, he must have done it on purpose. While he seemed to be concentrating on driving, he was also slightly lost. Mo Xiuchen, being next to him, would have certainly noticed his absent-mindedness. But why did Mo Xiuchen choose such a way to remind him?

Mo Xiuchen squinted, sounding certain, “Ranran wouldn’t tell me, and Ah Kai also wouldn’t. I imagine none of you would. As for my grandfather’s words…should I believe it or not? Anyway, Haochen is also partly mine. Why not just buy the whole of it? This way, Ranran would become my employee.”

“Mo Xiuchen, you’re crazy.”

Qin Mu stated sternly, “We won’t let you buy out Haochen. As for Mo Jingteng’s words, whether you believe them or not, it’s up to you. None of us will tell you about the past. It’s not about right or wrong. I can only say this much. I won’t acknowledge what you just said. If you dare to hurt Ranran, you will become the common enemy of us all.”

…

Wen Ran’s soft voice interrupted Qin Mu’s thoughts, “Since all of you can’t bear to see me around, I will just go back to G City with Xiaoxiao.”

Qin Mu’s slender eyes twinkled twice before he chuckled and said, “Ranran, it seems you are quite enlightened.”

“Qin Mu, don’t cross the line!”

Wen Ran knitted her brows in displeasure. However, there was no trace of anger in her eyes. Qin Mu couldn’t help but smile, watching her through the mirror, “I did not cross any line. It’s you who thinks so.”

Wen Ran snorted, “Who asked all of you to eagerly send me back to G City? This time, I will stay there and have fun for a month before coming back. Don’t call me back to work then.”

“Don’t worry, even if you’re gone for two months, I will still call you back to work.”

The unwavering determination could be heard clearly in Qin Mu’s gentle voice.
