Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1050: 1049 What gift does he like?

“Okay, I’ll pass her message to Ah Feng.”

Mo Xiuchen smiled slightly, his deep voice tinged with a hint of tenderness.

Seeing him finally smile, Wen Ran’s eyes also lit up with a faint smile. She shared the same thoughts as Mo Xiuchen, not wanting any misunderstanding to arise between them due to anyone or anything.

“Sleep now, I’ll go to City B tomorrow. You should rest well at home. If you feel bored, ask Li Qian or someone to keep you company.”

After making sure Wen Ran was comfortably lying down, Mo Xiuchen lay down himself. Seeing her habitually turn onto her left side to sleep, a trace of heartache crossed his eyes, and he pulled her back into his embrace.

Luo Haofeng’s wedding day fell on a weekend.

Mo Xiuchen, Gu Kai, and Wen Jin all went to City B together.

It was said that Qin Mu and An Lin were also attending.

In the morning, Wen Ran made an international long-distance call to Bai Xiaoxiao, and they talked for a long time.

After lunch, Wen Ran received a call from Fang Zhiwei.

“Ranran, am I at home?”

Over the phone, Fang Zhiwei’s voice came gently. Wen Ran, leaning on the sofa, placed her phone on the coffee table in front of her, turned on the speaker, and lazily replied, “At home.”

“Why do you sound listless? Is it because Mo Xiuchen is not at home, and you’re unhappy on your own?”

Fang Zhiwei teased, pausing before asking, “Ranran, would you like to go out shopping? I’ll come pick you up.”

“Sure, just tell me where you are, and I’ll find you.”

Fang Zhiwei gave her an address, and Wen Ran arranged for Qing Feng and Qing Yang to take her there.

Twenty minutes later, she was already out shopping with Fang Zhiwei.

“Ranran, do you know what your brother likes?” Fang Zhiwei asked slowly as she linked arms with Wen Ran.

Stumped by her question, Wen Ran pondered and said, “I’m really not sure. Sister Wei, are you thinking of buying a gift for my brother?”

“Yes, I’ve never bought him a gift before. Isn’t his birthday coming up soon? I don’t know what to get him, so I had to ask for your help.”

Fang Zhiwei admitted candidly. From the beginning, she had openly shared her feelings for Gu Kai with Wen Ran.

Now, asking about Gu Kai’s preferences didn’t seem abrupt.

Hearing Fang Zhiwei say this, Wen Ran also felt a bit guilty. Fang Zhiwei and her brother had been dating for only a few months, and it was normal that she hadn’t bought any gifts. Whereas she had known her brother for almost two years and had only bought him a shirt last year. Gu Kai, always particular about his attire, had worn the shirt she bought from last year to this year.

Later, when she thought about buying Gu Kai a few more clothes, Mo Xiuchen said if she bought too many, Gu Kai wouldn’t find them special.

“Sister Wei, speaking of gifts, I’ve only ever bought my brother a shirt. As for what he likes…”

Wen Ran shook her head innocently.

“Ranran, don’t you have Mo Xiuchen at home? He and Ah Kai have been good brothers for many years. He definitely knows what Ah Kai likes. Could you ask him for me? This is the first time I’m giving Ah Kai a gift, and it’s also the first time I’m giving a gift to a man other than my father. I’m afraid he won’t like it if I choose poorly.”

Although Fang Zhiwei was a few years older than Wen Ran, the shy blush of a young woman still couldn’t be hidden from her eyes when she mentioned the man she liked.

Having said that, Wen Ran couldn’t refuse any longer.

Even though she thought that as long as her brother liked Fang Zhiwei, he would like whatever she gave him, she couldn’t actually say that.

Because, she didn’t even know if her brother actually liked Fang Zhiwei. Normally, when she saw them together, they seemed fine, but she always felt that when her brother was with Fang Zhiwei, there was something missing that should exist between lovers.

The way her brother looked at Fang Zhiwei didn’t seem to have the tenderness and passion typical of couples in love.

“I’ll go home and ask Mo Xiuchen.”

“Thank you, Ranran.” Fang Zhiwei, seeing that Wen Ran agreed to help her ask, immediately showed a joyful smile.

Not long after they had been shopping, Fang Zhiwei, fearing that Wen Ran might be tired, invited her for afternoon tea. They ordered two cups of milk tea and some pastries and chatted while they ate.

Fang Zhiwei was expressing her envy of Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen’s relationship when Wen Ran’s phone rang. Seeing the number displayed, a gentle smile appeared in her eyes.

“Hello, Xiuchen.”

“Ranran, where are you?”

“I’m out shopping with Sister Wei. Are you back, or are you still in City B?”

“We just got off the plane. Where are you? I’ll come to find you.” Mo Xiuchen’s voice came gently through the phone, amidst other voices and announcements.

Wen Ran gave him the address, and Mo Xiuchen said he would arrive soon.

After hanging up, Wen Ran turned around and, without meaning to, glanced at the door and saw Li En and Bai Yiyi entering, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.

Li En also saw Wen Ran. He frowned slightly, said something to Bai Yiyi, and Bai Yiyi looked towards them.

After a moment, Bai Yiyi approached Wen Ran and Fang Zhiwei. Her foot seemed to have healed, as she had no problem walking, “Ranran, Miss Fang, what are you doing here?”

“Sister Wei and I were shopping, and we stopped here to rest when we got tired. What about you? Are you here to shop as well?”

Wen Ran responded with a smile.

“Oh, Elder Brother Li was buying clothes for Tongtong and didn’t know her size, so he called me to come out.” Bai Yiyi explained why she was with Li En.

Wen Ran’s eyes flickered slightly and, from the corner of her eye, she saw Li En sitting a few tables away, his gaze cold.

“Your foot is okay now?” Wen Ran, ignoring the way Li En was looking at her, lowered her gaze to Bai Yiyi’s foot.

Bai Yiyi shook her head, “It was just a sprain, not a fracture. It’s fine now.”

“That’s good.” Wen Ran smiled and nodded.

After Bai Yiyi left, Fang Zhiwei curiously asked, “Ranran, is that man Bai Yiyi’s boyfriend?”

“It doesn’t seem so.”

Wen Ran was sipping her milk tea, and after hearing Fang Zhiwei’s question, she thought for a moment before uncertainly responding.

“Why don’t we wait outside then? Your brother and Miss Bai have a misunderstanding, and it’d be better not to start anything by seeing her again,” Fang Zhiwei suggested after finishing her milk tea.

“This is a public place, my brother wouldn’t do that,” Wen Ran smiled as she defended her brother, but before Fang Zhiwei could say more, her phone rang. She took it out to answer the call.

Presumably the caller was a close friend of Fang Zhiwei, as they talked for over ten minutes until Mo Xiuchen and Gu Kai walked into the lobby, and she ended the call.

“Ranran, why are you out shopping? Are you tired?”

Mo Xiuchen strode over to Wen Ran, took a seat beside her, and looked at her with concern in his deep eyes.

“Not tired, we haven’t been shopping for long. Why are you guys so hot? Surely you didn’t run here from the airport?”

Wen Ran noticed the fine sweat on Mo Xiuchen’s forehead and turned to look at Gu Kai, seeing his shirt sleeves rolled to his elbows and sweat on his forehead too.
