Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 923: Don’t make such a joke, 922

Considering Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng’s current situation, Wen Ran felt that going abroad to study was a better choice for her.

If she stayed in G City, not only would she be coerced by Mother Bai into matchmaking, but it was also possible that when Luo Haofeng got rid of Qi Meiling, she would become an object of resentment for both Qi Meiling and Luo Haofeng’s mother.

As long as she remained in the country, Luo Haofeng would surely not stop contacting her, which in turn would naturally make his mother harbor resentment towards Xiaoxiao.

If she went abroad to study and came back after Luo Haofeng had dealt with everything, maybe things would be easier for them.

“Ranran, let me think about it,” Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated, “I’m scared I won’t get used to being abroad alone. It would be great if you could go study abroad with me.”

“Me? Forget it, I don’t want to study abroad again. Xiaoxiao, I’ll have time to visit you abroad,” she now most wanted to do what her brother, Wen Jin, had said, take care of her health and then have a pair of cute babies.

Even if she had to study again, she wouldn’t go abroad.

She couldn’t bear to leave Mo Xiuchen again. She had already had enough of the pain of missing him during those few months they were apart. Now, she just wanted to stay by his side every second.

If she had children, she wouldn’t have time to study for a while and might become a housewife, which didn’t seem too bad to her.

As long as she could live quietly with Mo Xiuchen, she felt that everything was fine.

“I knew it, you value love over friendship. Now that you have Mo Xiuchen, you won’t care about me anymore.”

“Haha, I do value love over friendship. Xiaoxiao, I hope you will value love over friendship soon too,” Wen Ran admitted frankly, and was proud of valuing love over friendship.

Bai Xiaoxiao, annoyed on the other end of the phone, said, “Then I won’t disturb your sweet moments with Mo Xiuchen. I’ll tell you once I’ve made a decision.”

After hanging up, Wen Ran then instructed Qing Yang to drive.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Kangning Hospital.

“Miss Wen, do you want us to go in with you?” Qing Feng got out of the car, opened the door for Wen Ran, and asked gently.

Wen Ran shook her head and smiled, “No need, you guys wait for me outside, I’ll go in myself.”

Upon entering the hospital, Wen Ran planned to take the elevator to look for Gu Kai. While waiting for the elevator, she heard Shen Yuting’s voice from behind: “Ranran.”

Wen Ran turned around to see Shen Yuting walking toward her from a few steps away, holding an ultrasound photo in her hand. She smiled slightly and spoke gently, “Sister Ting.”

Shen Yuting handed the ultrasound photo to the nurse behind her and gave a quick instruction before turning back to smile at Wen Ran, asking with concern, “Ranran, are you here to see Zhou Lin’s daughter?”

Wen Ran’s eyes flickered, “Oh, no, I was thinking of getting a check-up.”

“A check-up, what kind of check-up?” Shen Yuting didn’t understand her meaning for a moment, with a hint of confusion creasing her brow.

Wen Ran smiled, hesitating in her heart whether to tell her directly. After knowing about the ‘divisive’ things she had said to Mo Xiuchen and realizing that Shen Yuting might still have feelings for him, Wen Ran developed a sense of wariness towards Shen Yuting.

Usually, she might not have gone to Gu Kai first but directly to Shen Yuting, since even if she sought out Gu Kai, she might still have to go through Shen Yuting eventually.

But now, she found that she dared not trust her anymore.

“Ranran, is there something you can’t say, or is it that you’re not comfortable telling me?”

Shen Yuting saw her hesitation and her doubts deepened, her gaze becoming probing.

Wen Ran smiled faintly and just as the elevator arrived, she calmly said, “Sister Ting, let’s get on the elevator first.”

Shen Yuting followed her into the elevator. Wen Ran pressed the floor where Gu Kai was. Inside, aside from the two of them, there were also two patients’ relatives.

Wen Ran changed the subject and asked, “Sister Ting, why did you leave last night?”

When it came to this, Shen Yuting’s face slightly changed, and she covered it up with a smile, “I had something come up last night, so I left. Did you all have fun?”

Wen Ran nodded, her eyes gleaming with a radiant smile, “We had a great time, but it just wasn’t the same without you, Sister Ting. When you’re free, Mo Xiuchen and I will invite you out again. You should also bring Jiang Liu. I haven’t formally thanked you yet.”

The smile on Shen Yuting’s face faded, and she said softly, “Ranran, Jiang Liu and I have already broken up.”

“Broken up? Sister Ting, you and Jiang Liu were always getting along so well,” Wen Ran furrowed her brows gently, asking with concern.

“We are not suitable for each other,” Shen Yuting said with a trace of a bitter smile on her lips, her eyes catching a glimpse of the not-so-obvious hickey at Wen Ran’s collar, a pang of pain striking her heart. She quickly averted her gaze to the elevator wall behind Wen Ran.

The elevator dinged upon arrival.

Wen Ran walked out first, and Shen Yuting followed. “Ranran, Ah Mu rushed back last night to celebrate with Xiuchen. Has he gone back today?”

Wen Ran turned around with a smile and said, “Sister Ting, didn’t you know? Ah Mu rushed back last night.”

“Why was he in such a hurry last night?” asked Shen Yuting in surprise, speeding up slightly to catch up and walk alongside her.

Wen Ran shook her head, unsure, “Maybe there was something in A City. Xiuchen drove him to the airport.”

“Ranran, the day you came back from abroad, Ah Mu returned to A City. What could be so important that he had to rush back in the middle of the night? I think he didn’t dare to disturb you and Xiuchen. He probably left because he was afraid that if he stayed, Xiuchen might misunderstand.”

Shen Yuting’s tone carried a hint of sadness and pity for Qin Mu.

Hearing this, Wen Ran paused in her steps, turning her head to look at Shen Yuting.

Shen Yuting sighed softly, speaking gently, “Ranran, actually, Qin Mu has liked you for a long time.”

“Sister Ting.”

Wen Ran frowned, cutting off Shen Yuting’s next words. Her eyes, clear as water when meeting hers, pursed her lips, and said earnestly, “Sister Ting, I only see Qin Mu as a friend, and he has never said otherwise to me. Besides, Mo Xiuchen is aware of everything between me and Qin Mu. They are close as brothers, so, of course, he would not be jealous about things he shouldn’t be.”

“Ranran, don’t be agitated. That’s not what I meant,” Shen Yuting explained with a smile, though her smile was somewhat awkward.

Wen Ran saw Gu Kai a few meters away coming out of his office. She smiled lightly, switching to a more cheerful tone, “I’m not agitated, I just don’t want there to be any misunderstandings. I especially don’t want to affect Xiuchen and Ah Mu’s friendship. Sister Ting, you should stop making those kinds of jokes in the future.”

“Okay!” Shen Yuting also saw Gu Kai approaching and didn’t continue on the topic of Qin Mu. She smiled and said, “Ranran, you mentioned earlier that you were here for a check-up. What check-up are you doing that you need to see your cousin?”

Wen Ran laughed and then with a hint of mystery, winked, “I’ll tell you both in a bit.”

As her voice fell, from across the way, Gu Kai’s bright and cheerful voice reached them, “Ranran, Yuting, are you here to see me?”
