Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 962: 961 Love Rival Chapter 962: 961 Love Rival “Ranran, you are not me; you wouldn’t understand my feelings.”

Shen Yuting said this with a tone full of reproach and the sadness of being neglected.

Suddenly, Wen Ran didn’t know what to say.

Perhaps it was normal for Shen Yuting to think that way. Before Wen Ran came along, not only was she Gu Kai’s most beloved cousin, but his friends also treated her specially.

Especially Mo Xiuchen, such a cold man who wouldn’t spare a glance for other women, yet he could talk to Shen Yuting so gently. That was indeed very special.

“Ranran, I know that my thoughts might be somewhat extreme, and I also know that I should face the facts. I can’t always be the center of everyone’s attention, nor will I always be the cousin whom cousin dotes on. Even without you, he would eventually get married and have children, and he would treat someone else much better than he treats me.”

Listening to Shen Yuting’s words, Wen Ran suddenly understood why Gu Kai had blamed himself earlier, saying it was his fault for spoiling Shen Yuting.

She was indeed spoiled, unable to take even the slightest bit of neglect.

Even though she knew she couldn’t always be the focus of everyone’s attention, she couldn’t accept that fact.

“Brother will get married and have children, and you will get married too. Isn’t Jiang Liu treating you very well right now? As long as you are willing, he will treat you well for a lifetime.”

Life is like a train journey, with people joining you for a while to view certain sceneries before they get off. Then others get on to replace them and continue with you towards your destination.

If Shen Yuting insists that Gu Kai has neglected her, then the affection Jiang Liu has for her is enough to replace Gu Kai’s.

“Jiang Liu, he won’t anymore.”

The mention of Jiang Liu made Shen Yuting’s voice suddenly drop, and it seemed to be infused with an imperceptible regret.

Wen Ran frowned slightly and said gently, “He will, Sister Ting. Last night, upon learning that you were sick, Jiang Liu was so anxious he ran several red lights. He has been looking for you all day and is nearly going crazy.”

“Ranran, he already has another woman.”

“Maybe you’ve misunderstood him. If he had another woman, how could he possibly still be looking for you? Sister Ting, if you’re not sure, I’ll call Jiang Liu and ask.”

“Alright, you ask him what his relationship is with the female boss of Yu & Su.”

Shen Yuting was silent on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. When her voice came through again, it sounded a bit stiff.

Wen Ran said gently, “Okay, I’ll ask and call you back in a bit.”

After pressing the end call button, Wen Ran let out a long sigh.

At the entrance, Mo Xiuchen walked in at that moment, his deep eyes sweeping over the three people in the living room, his gaze locking onto Wen Ranqing’s lovely face. A faint smile curved his lips as he said, “Ranran, have you been waiting anxiously?”

Gu Kai raised an eyebrow, and Wen Jin stepped out of the sofa to make room for Mo Xiuchen.

Wen Ran forced a smile and said, “Xiuchen, why so early? I thought you wouldn’t be able to come for a while.”

Mo Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed slightly, a probing look flashing through them, as he walked to the sofa and sat down beside her, “Were you intending to call me?”

“You’re overthinking it.”

Wen Jin replied indifferently from the side, and Gu Kai raised an eyebrow without saying a word.

He didn’t believe that after Mo Xiuchen had asked that, he wouldn’t have sensed that the atmosphere in the living room was a bit unusual.

This guy was very perceptive and must have sensed something.

Mo Xiuchen glanced at Wen Jin indifferently, his look clearly suggesting that Wen Jin was being too talkative.

Wen Ran explained softly, “I was just on the phone with Sister Ting.” Hesitating, she looked up at Gu Kai before adding, “This morning, there was some misunderstanding between Sister Ting and my brother. She went home by herself, and Jiang Liu called her all afternoon but her phone was turned off…”

“Here, I’ll call Jiang Liu.”

After hearing Wen Ran’s explanation, Mo Xiuchen’s handsome brows furrowed displeasedly, and he reached for her phone.

He didn’t like Ranran having contact with Jiang Liu, especially after last night’s incident. Mo Xiuchen was even more opposed to Wen Ran getting involved with Jiang Liu.

Wen Ran didn’t refuse, placing the phone in his palm, “Okay, you call Jiang Liu. Sister Ting suspects Jiang Liu has that kind of relationship with the boss of Yu&Su. Xiuchen, ask Jiang Liu what he really thinks.”

In the living room, these three men were all insiders.

There was no need for her to hide from them the content of her chat with Shen Yuting, though she didn’t go into great detail, she explained clearly.

“Does Shen Yuting still want to be with Jiang Liu?” Mo Xiuchen didn’t doubt Wen Ran’s words, but he was skeptical about what Shen Yuting said.

Wen Ran was taken aback by his question, her eyes blinking in confusion.

Gu Kai spoke dispassionately, “Whether she wants to or not is one thing. Since she said that, just find out what Jiang Liu thinks, and see what else she can stir up.”

Gu Kai was utterly disappointed with Shen Yuting.

Mo Xiuchen’s lips curved in understanding, and in a low, magnetic voice tinged with amusement, he said, “Fine, seeing as she is your cousin, and Ranran’s elder sister, I’ll indulge her this once.”

“What are you indulging her in?”

Gu Kai didn’t catch on immediately and asked, puzzled.

Mo Xiuchen gave him a sidelong glance without explanation, and used Wen Ran’s phone to dial Jiang Liu’s number, his large hand naturally holding Wen Ran’s hand, passing warmth through their clasped palms.

The emotions Wen Ran felt because of Shen Yuting dissipated in Mo Xiuchen’s warm palm, her eyes unconsciously filled with gentleness as she watched him quietly.

After a few rings, Jiang Liu’s voice came through, “Wen Ran, is there news about Yuting?”

Hearing Jiang Liu’s anxious words, Mo Xiuchen’s resolute eyebrows twitched, and he spoke slowly, “She’s at home, just doesn’t want to see you.”

“Mo Xiuchen?” Jiang Liu was startled by Mo Xiuchen’s voice, he called out his name before asking, “How do you know Yuting is at home?”

“After you left, she called Ranran. Jiang Liu, you are now the object of thousands of women’s admiration. Do you think Yuting would want to see you?”

Mo Xiuchen’s words were laced with sarcasm, causing both Gu Kai and Wen Jin to raise their eyebrows, a hint of amusement flashing in their eyes.

Wen Ran’s eyes flickered, her lips lightly pursed. She had agreed to let Xiuchen call Jiang Liu, so she wouldn’t question the method he used to extract the information Shen Yuting wanted to know.

Jiang Liu’s voice sounded somewhat annoyed, “This is just my job. What does it have to do with how I feel about Yuting? You have countless women admiring you too, by that logic, shouldn’t Wen Ran leave you as well?”

For Jiang Liu, his emotions towards this formidable and unattainable rival were complicated, filled with both admiration and resentment. It was because of Mo Xiuchen’s existence that he always felt unable to enter Shen Yuting’s heart.

Yet, without Mo Xiuchen, he and Shen Yuting might not even have had a beginning.
