Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1148: 1147 As long as you don’t fan the flames

In the afternoon, after Wen Ran napped, Mo Xiuchen went to Gu Yan’s office to tell him that he and Ranran had decided to adopt the baby girl.

Gu Yan showed his surprise after hearing his words, “Mo Xiuchen, have you and Ranran really decided to adopt that child? You already have Ziyi and Momo; having another one to care for, won’t it be too much to handle?”

Mo Xiuchen curved his lips into a smile and said, “Dad, you don’t need to worry about this. I’ve already thought it through; we’ll just hire another nanny. Last night, Ah Jin said he wanted to adopt the baby girl, and just now I spoke to Ranran about it, and she wanted to adopt her too.”

“Ah Jin also wants to adopt?”

Hearing his words, Gu Yan was even more astonished.

“Ranran thinks it’s not a good idea for Ah Jin to adopt; he’s not married yet and is concerned it might affect his future love life and marriage.”

There were some things Wen Ran hadn’t spoken aloud, but Mo Xiuchen understood her, knowing what she was thinking in her heart.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Yan said, “Ah Jin is not married yet, it’s indeed not good for him to adopt, but you already have Ziyi and Momo. Adopting another, wouldn’t it be too exhausting? Even though the child is an abandoned baby, if you decide to adopt her, you must raise her as your own child and not display any favoritism or partiality, as that would impact the child…”

“Dad, Ranran was also adopted and raised by Ah Jin’s parents, and they brought her up as their own child. She and Ah Jin are as close as siblings; we can also raise the baby girl as our own and ensure she is as close to Ziyi and Momo as sisters and brothers should be.”

“Well then, if this is a shared decision between you and Ranran, I won’t oppose it,” Gu Yan said with a slight smile. “I was originally thinking that when the child grew up a bit, to see if anyone in society would be willing to adopt her. If no one did, we would have to send her to the orphanage, but now that you’re willing to adopt her, it’s indeed her good fortune.”

An abandoned baby girl being adopted by a family like the Mo family was indeed her blessing.

“Once Ranran is discharged from the hospital tomorrow, I will complete the adoption procedures.”

As he left Gu Yan’s office, Mo Xiuchen dialed Wen Jin’s number.

After two rings, Wen Jin’s voice came through the phone. He sounded busy, his low voice also tinged with the sound of flipping documents, “Hello?”

“Ah Jin, you’re out of luck with the adoption,” Mo Xiuchen teased, a pleased curve forming on his lips as his clear, cheerful voice carried a hint of triumph.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Jin asked in confusion over the phone, “What do you mean?”

“I and Ranran have decided to adopt that baby girl, so if you want a daughter, find a woman to marry and have one yourself,” Mo Xiuchen teased Wen Jin while walking towards the elevator.

“Did you say something to Ranran?” Wen Jin wasn’t foolish.

Mo Xiuchen laughed heartily, “I only mentioned that you wanted to adopt the baby girl, nothing else. But given that you are Ranran’s brother, and my cousin, I still want to kindly remind you, you’re in your late twenties, and you’re the only one left in the Wen Family. The important responsibility of carrying on the family line is something you should consider.”

Before Wen Jin could respond, Mo Xiuchen added, “Now that Ranran and I are adopting another child, she has more to worry about, so don’t add to her concerns with your issues.”

That didn’t sound like a reminder; it sounded more like a warning.

Wen Jin snorted coldly into the phone, “Just don’t stir the pot, that’s all.”

“I’m too lazy to bother with your affairs. Ah Kai has been going on blind dates every day, and you haven’t, to this day. After Ranran finishes her confinement, you’ll probably have to go on blind dates too.”

As Mo Xiuchen spoke, he reached the elevator. He pressed the button, finished his piece, and then dropped a line, “I won’t talk to you anymore, I have to go back and take care of Ziyi and Momo.”

“Mo Xiuchen…”

In the pharmaceutical company’s office, Wen Jin called out, but the phone had already been hung up.

He stared at the call log on the screen, his handsome brows furrowed in displeasure. That Mo Xiuchen was always difficult with him.

A knock at the office door came, and he said, “Come in.” The door opened, and Bai Xiaoxiao entered, holding a stack of documents.

“President Wen, is something wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood,” said Bai Yiyi as she walked to his desk with the documents and set them down, looking at him with concern.

Wen Jin’s eyes flickered as he forced a smile and began flipping through the documents, “It’s that guy Mo Xiuchen. Yesterday, I brought up wanting to adopt the baby girl who was mistaken for Momo.”

He stopped there, his gaze lingering on the documents.

Bai Yiyi, surprised that he suddenly stopped talking, asked, “Then what? Did Mo Xiuchen refuse you?”

“I don’t know what he told Ranran, but he just called me to say that he and Ranran decided to adopt the baby girl.”

Bai Yiyi suddenly laughed, her smile bright and radiant, “Mo General, if I were Ranran, I would rather adopt the child myself than let you do it. You’re not even married, and if you adopt a child, your future girlfriend might think the child is yours with another woman.”

“How could that be.”

Wen Jin frowned. Was adopting a child really that complicated? Besides, he hadn’t planned on getting married anyway.

“Of course, it’s possible. Women are very suspicious and strange creatures. You’ll understand once you date.”

Bai Yiyi said with a giggling smile.

Seeing Wen Jin with furrowed brows, she tilted her head and inquired, “President Wen, you don’t plan to adopt a daughter just so you don’t have to marry, do you? If that’s the case, Ranran definitely won’t agree to you adopting the child.”

“Is it that obvious?”

Wen Jin looked up at her, glaring unhappily.

“No, not obvious, I’m just guessing,” Bai Yiyi shook her head and gestured with her hands.

Wen Jin snorted coldly and looked down again to sign the documents, saying nonchalantly, “Later, check if the new drug is ready. Ah Kai even called this morning to ask about it.”

“Will do.”

The mention of Gu Kai caused Bai Yiyi’s cheerful face to become earnest as she returned to her professional demeanor.

Wen Jin looked up at her for two seconds and then asked, “He didn’t blame you for this time, did he?”

Bai Yiyi’s eyes twinkled as she dismissed the idea, “It’s normal for him to blame me. If one day he doesn’t, I’d think he’s ill.”

“Haha, if Ah Kai heard you talk about him like that, I wonder what he would look like. Momo is safe and sound, and I have you to thank,” Wen Jin laughed twice and then sincerely thanked Bai Yiyi.

Li En had carefully taken care of Momo, who was quietly sent abroad in exchange for another child, primarily out of consideration for Bai Yiyi’s face.

Perhaps, it was because Li En knew very clearly that he could threaten Bai Yiyi with Momo, but he must not harm her.
