Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 888: 887 He did not dare to let Ranran come back.

Even though Qing Feng and Qing Yang accompanied Wen Ran to D Country, Mo Xiuchen still insisted on taking her to the airport.

On the way to the airport, Wen Ran called Wen Jin and Gu Kai to tell them that she was going abroad. Both were shrewd people, and without asking why she was suddenly leaving the country, they simply urged her to have a good time overseas.

Mo Xiuchen had someone watch Cheng Jia’s home all night, yet Cheng Jia still hadn’t returned, and even her parents said she hadn’t been home.

Because yesterday afternoon, Lu Zhiyan took his subordinates to the hospital where Mo Jingteng was staying, and he had not yet woken up, on the second day, Lu Zhiyan made another visit to the hospital.

Due to Mo Jingteng’s medical condition, they didn’t take him back to the police station but restricted his freedom.

Over the next month, Mo Xiuchen was exceptionally busy.

G City also went through many changes in that month, with several officials being investigated due to cases linked to Mo Jingteng from years ago, as well as the arrest of bosses from two other companies.

MS Group, moreover, was affected, with its stocks plummeting.

Under the joint efforts of Mo Xiuchen, Luo Haofeng, and Qin Mu, they acquired MS Group and the shares of two major shareholders who had once had dealings with Cheng Jia.

Furthermore, after acquiring some minority shares, Mo Xiuchen took absolute control, renamed MS Group to Haochen, discussed the matter, and set up headquarters for Haochen.

Once everything had stabilized, Qin Mu purchased his plane ticket, preparing to return to A City.

Luo Haofeng’s family was also persistently pressuring him to go back to the family business, and Mo Xiuchen, along with Qin Mu, suggested that Luo Haofeng take up a position in the family enterprise, as only by holding absolute control could he avoid being pressured by his parents.

Although the newly acquired Haochen had many issues and hidden risks that hadn’t fully stabilized, Mo Xiuchen could take care of these problems gradually, and neither Luo Haofeng nor Qin Mu was worried.

With Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng departing from City C abruptly, An Lin was too busy by herself, so Mo Zixuan volunteered to work in City C.

“Xiuchen, now that the company matters have settled down, isn’t it time to bring Ranran back?”

In a private room on the third floor of Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, sitting around a large round table, were several handsome men with extraordinary presence, namely Mo Xiuchen, Luo Haofeng, Qin Mu, Gu Kai, and Wen Jin.

The air was filled with a faint aroma of wine, yet the glass in Mo Xiuchen’s hand was not for wine, but for plain water.

Both Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng had empty glasses in front of them, while Gu Kai was pouring wine into Wen Jin’s glass. Wen Jin frowned in dissatisfaction, protesting, “Ah Kai, there’s so little in your own glass, why are you pouring so much for me?”

Gu Kai ignored him and turned to look at Mo Xiuchen instead.

The question just now had come from Luo Haofeng, who had an ulterior motive beyond the wine, as Wen Ran had gone on an overseas trip with Bai Xiaoxiao, and he took a particular interest in this matter.

Time flew by so quickly, in the blink of an eye, Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao had been abroad for a month, and even though they spoke on the phone every day, Mo Xiuchen missed her every moment.

Hearing Luo Haofeng’s words, his gaze deepened. He slightly narrowed his eyes, gazing into the glass in his hand, envisioning Ranran’s fair and delicate little face, causing the corners of his mouth to unconsciously curve upwards.

He had originally promised to fetch Ranran from abroad once things settled down here, but now, it seemed he had to wait a while longer.

“Xiuchen, if you have the time, you can personally go and bring Ranran back,” Gu Kai suggested, raising his eyebrows with a smile.

Wen Jin’s gaze swept over Mo Xiuchen’s arm, speaking indifferently, “I guess he’s afraid to let Ranran come back because his arm hasn’t healed.”

Wen Jin had only received her call on the morning Ranran left the country. Although he didn’t ask for the reason, he knew it was arranged by Mo Xiuchen.

And the reason Ranran went abroad must also involve a promise from Mo Xiuchen. Now, he doesn’t even dare to tell Ranran about his injury, let alone bring her back before his own arm is fully healed.

Mo Xiuchen gave Wen Jin a cold glance, “It’s not that I’m afraid; I just don’t want Ranran to worry.”

Qin Mu smiled, saying, “Mo Xiuchen, your arm isn’t going to fall off, and besides, even after it’s healed, there will still be a scar. You can’t hide it from Ranran forever. Better to be honest and tell her sooner; she may even forgive you.”

“Then you delay your return to A City by a few days. I’ll go bring Ranran back tomorrow.”

Having said that, Mo Xiuchen tilted his head back slightly, finishing off the remaining half glass of water.

Qin Mu’s eyes flickered slightly, his tone calm and gentle, “It’s okay for Ah Feng to come back a couple of days later. I already booked my ticket, and I don’t want to bother changing it.”

“Right, I’ll stay here for two more days. Once you’ve brought Ranran back, then I’ll return,” Luo Haofeng quickly agreed, eager to see Xiaoxiao one more time and speak a few words to her.

These words had to be said face-to-face for him to feel that they were solemn and sincere.

“If you miss Bai Xiaoxiao so much, you go to D Country to pick her up. I’ll just wait here for Ranran to return,” said Mo Xiuchen leisurely, his tone neither hurried nor slow.

Apart from the fact that he didn’t want to bring Ranran back before his arm was healed, another reason was that a month had passed and there was still no news from Cheng Jia.

That day in the hospital, Mo Xiuchen questioned Mo Jingteng’s two bodyguards, but they were tight-lipped. It wasn’t until several days later that he learned about Cheng Jia’s plight and Mo Jingteng’s ruthless intentions.

Since then, he had been sending people to search for Cheng Jia. Even with Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao going abroad, he made sure Qing Feng and Qing Yang followed them to ensure their safety.

After pouring everyone wine, Gu Kai finally sat down, “Ah Feng, Mo Xiuchen has a point. If you miss Bai Xiaoxiao that much, why not go to D Country yourself? I’ll give you a friendly reminder that I heard yesterday Meng Ke is going to D Country in the next few days.”

“Where did you hear that?” Luo Haofeng’s face changed as he stared intently at Gu Kai.

That Meng Ke, like an incessant ghost, was constantly hounding Xiaoxiao, and it seemed he had also won over Mother Bai’s heart.

A smile crept onto Gu Kai’s lips, “Our hospital is planning a trip at the beginning of next month, and it happens that Meng Ke’s travel agency is leading it.”

“Ah Kai, there are so many travel agencies in G City, why did you pick his? Why go with Meng Ke’s?” Luo Haofeng asked annoyedly. Just a few days ago, Meng Ke had tried to turn their company into one of his clients too.

Thinking about it made him angry.

Gu Kai looked amused at Luo Haofeng’s displeasure, “Ah Feng, you shouldn’t be asking me that. There are many travel agencies in G City, but Meng Ke offered us the biggest discount, and their agency is one of the top in G City. No matter how we considered it, we seemed likely to choose them.”

“Do you really need that little bit of money?”

Luo Haofeng grew even angrier, his supposed brother actually seemed to be siding with his rival in love.

Gu Kai shook his head, “It’s not about the money, let me tell you the truth, I didn’t plan on agreeing to Meng Ke’s proposal at first, but he managed to get Xiaoxiao and Ranran to speak on his behalf.”
