Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 917: 916 Their world, outsiders can’t get involved

Mo Xiuchen and Qin Mu returned to the private room, and Wen Ran indeed asked him, “Mo Xiuchen, wasn’t Sister Ting with you? She went to the restroom and never came back, and I thought she had gone to look for you.”

Mo Xiuchen sat down beside her and smiled, saying, “Jiang Liu called her, and she left first.”

“Oh,” Wen Ran blinked and did not ask further.

After the server brought the dishes, the conversation quickly shifted to a new topic; Shen Yuting’s departure meant nothing to the group.

**

Shen Yuting drove back to her apartment and from a distance, saw a familiar figure standing in front of a roadside billboard, his tall figure leaning against it, smoking a cigarette in his hand.

A flicker of hesitation crossed her eyes, thinking to turn the car around when her cellphone rang.

Shen Yuting turned the steering wheel, pulled over to the roadside, and pressed the answer button, speaking indifferently, “Hello.”

“Did you deliver the message I asked you to?”

On the phone, a woman’s voice spoke; hearing this voice, Shen Yuting’s face immediately turned angry as she asked, “Cheng Jia, where exactly are you?”

“Don’t worry about where I am. Just do as I told you, and separate Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran.”

Cheng Jia’s voice held a chill as it transmitted through the phone waves, igniting a raging fury in Shen Yuting. She said hatefully, “I’m warning you, don’t mess around.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt Mo Xiuchen. I love him too, Shen Yuting. I’m giving you such a great opportunity, yet you fail to grasp it. I’ll give you three months—if Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran aren’t separated by then, prepare to dress in mourning.”

“You crazed woman, are you not afraid of retribution?”

Shen Yuting’s face turned pale.

“Haha, I’m not afraid. I’ve already received my retribution. Now, I just want Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran to get theirs. Even if I die, I’ll drag them down to Hell.”

“Cheng Jia, I promise you, I’ll definitely make Ranran leave Mo Xiuchen.”

Shen Yuting said each word through gritted teeth.

From a distance, Jiang Liu walked over. Shen Yuting ended the call, lowered the car window, and looked at Jiang Liu approaching.

“Yuting, let’s talk.”

“There’s nothing to talk about, Jiang Liu. Go back, and don’t come looking for me anymore,” said Shen Yuting, her face somewhat pale and her tone harsh.

Jiang Liu’s lips thinned, walked around the front of the car, opened the passenger door, and sat down, looking intensely at Shen Yuting, and said with pain, “Yuting, I know you can’t accept that incident, but that happened before I met you.”

“If you know I can’t accept it, why insist on coming over?”

Shen Yuting hung her head, her voice losing its earlier sharpness but filled with a heartbreaking sadness.

She and Jiang Liu decided to break up, not entirely because her feelings for Mo Xiuchen had reignited, but also because she received a video from Cheng Jia.

It was a video of Jiang Liu with Cheng Jia.

Pain swept through Jiang Liu’s eyes, and he reached out to hold Shen Yuting, but she avoided his hand.

His hand froze in mid-air.

“Yuting, I truly love you.”

“Jiang Liu, you should go back. Now, every time I see you, it reminds me of the scenes with you and Cheng Jia.” Shen Yuting said with a pained expression, “Actually, I have never fallen in love with you. It’s better to part on good terms.”

Jiang Liu’s face turned pale, and a self-mocking smile appeared at the corner of his lips. He had always known that the person she loved wasn’t him.

But as long as she didn’t say it, he could pretend not to know, and pretend that the person she loved was him.

“Yuting, why do you torment yourself like this? Mo Xiuchen has Wen Ran, and their world is one that others can’t interfere with,” Jiang Liu didn’t know why he had fallen so deeply.

When had Shen Yuting taken up his entire heart? For her, he was willing to change completely; even though he had always hated nine-to-five jobs, he now worked tirelessly, all to give her a better future.

Now, hearing from her own mouth that she didn’t love him, he couldn’t even muster a bit of resentment.

Shen Yuting looked up, fighting back the tears in her eyes, and gazed out the car window, murmuring, “Ranran swore poisonously that she can’t be with Xiuchen. Ah Liu, if you actually love me, please help me break them up, would you?”

“Yuting, are you crazy?”

Jiang Liu stared at her in shock.

“How can you say such a thing? Wen Ran is your cousin, and she and Mo Xiuchen have gone through so much hardship. They’ve finally come together, and now you want to separate them?”

Shen Yuting took a deep breath, “I’m not crazy. Didn’t you just say that you truly love me? Since you love me, why can’t you fulfill my wish?”

Jiang Liu’s hand at his side slowly clenched into a fist.

Veins bulged on his forehead, and the air inside the car grew thin. Just when Shen Yuting thought he was about to explode in anger, his tightened fist slowly relaxed.

The anger in his brows gradually faded, leaving only traces of loneliness and isolation in his eyes.

“Yuting, do you love Mo Xiuchen so much that it has to be him?”

He asked softly, his tone filled with deep grief and intense helplessness. He loved her, but she loved Mo Xiuchen, while Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran were clearly so in love.

“Yes, I love him.”

Jiang Liu suddenly laughed, “Alright, I’ll grant your wish.” After saying this, he slammed the car door and left.

Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, the party went on until ten in the evening. Happy times are always fleeting, and there were moments of awkwardness due to the current relationship between Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao, but these were quickly resolved and the mood was lightened by everyone present.

Qin Mu, although not very talkative, felt very happy to be with everyone. He felt that it was well worth it to come back from thousands of miles away.

The Mo Xiuchen of tonight, and these past days, was different. If one might say he had come back before, it had only been in body, but now, he had truly come back with his soul.

At the end of the party, Mo Xiuchen personally cut the cake for everyone, giving sincere thanks: “During this time, thank you all for taking care of Ranran!”

Just one sentence, simple and clear.

However, Wen Ran was so moved she felt a twinge in her nose. Mo Xiuchen turned, gazing at her tenderly and affectionately, his large hand gently caressing her cheek. In front of everyone, he leaned down and tenderly kissed her lips.

The first to make a noise was Luo Haofeng, who blew a loud whistle, followed by a round of enthusiastic applause. Under the bright crystal lights, every pair of eyes showed sincere blessings and smiles.

Wen Ran hadn’t expected Mo Xiuchen to kiss her in public. Initially startled, she soon blushed deeply as she regained her composure.

Mo Xiuchen didn’t linger in the kiss; his lips brushed hers briefly and then let her go, confessing tenderly and affectionately, “Ranran, I love you.”
