Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1637: Chapter 1636: Not Necessarily a Bad Thing

Xiao Yuting brought Bai Xiaoxiao to a newly opened Western restaurant.

The restaurant had an elegant ambiance, with music setting a romantic atmosphere. Bai Xiaoxiao noticed that most of the diners were couples.

“You don’t often bring women here, do you?”

During lunch, Bai Xiaoxiao teased Xiao Yuting with a smile.

Judging by the waiter’s attitude towards him, it was clear he was a regular customer.

The gentlemanly and graceful smile on Xiao Yuting’s face instantly faded as he frowned and defended himself, “Xiaoxiao, you can’t accuse me like that.”

Bai Xiaoxiao put a small piece of steak into her mouth, looking at Xiao Yuting with eyes full of laughter, “Isn’t that so? I remember you used to love…”

“Xiaoxiao, the old Xiao Yuting was a jerk, but not anymore.”

Xiao Yuting looked frustrated, feeling that in the past, he must have been blind to waste his time among many women, doing things that hurt Xiaoxiao.

If he had realized Xiaoxiao’s worth earlier, they probably would have been married by now.

Maybe they would even have children.

“Xiaoxiao, forget the old Xiao Yuting and get to know the present me.” Xiao Yuting said, raising the glass in front of him towards her.

“Xiaoxiao.”

A cheerful voice sounded from a distance.

Bai Xiaoxiao turned her head in surprise and saw Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen walking from the entrance. Her eyes lit up with joy, and a smile bloomed from her brows and eyes.

Ignoring Xiao Yuting, who was still holding a glass trying to clink with her, she stood up and waved at Wen Ran.

Seeing that the visitors were Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen, Xiao Yuting secretly complained to himself, couldn’t these two pretend not to see and stop being third wheels?

Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran approached their table together.

Wen Ran glanced at Xiao Yuting, smilingly looking at Bai Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, if we knew you were here, we would have come together.”

“Hello, Mo General!”

While the two of them chatted, Xiao Yuting politely extended his hand to greet Mo Xiuchen.

Hearing Xiao Yuting’s voice, Mo Xiuchen withdrew his gaze from Wen Ran, smiled faintly, and shook hands with him.

“Ranran, Xiuchen, why don’t you join us?”

Wen Ran looked up at Mo Xiuchen to seek his opinion.

Mo Xiuchen curved his lips into a smile and said gently, “Ranran, if you want to chat with Xiaoxiao, we can take her back to the company after lunch, and you can talk then.”

After a slight pause, he glanced at Xiao Yuting on the side, his gaze sweeping over the food on the table, “Let’s not disturb Xiaoxiao and President Xiao’s meal now. We’ll head over there.”

“…”

Bai Xiaoxiao frowned, wanting to say something, but Wen Ran was already being domineeringly pulled away by Mo Xiuchen.

“This Mo Xiuchen, really.”

Watching them walk away, she muttered under her breath.

Xiao Yuting chuckled lightly and gestured for Bai Xiaoxiao to sit, “Mo General wants to enjoy a romantic time with Wen Ran without disturbance from us.”

“I know, but I just returned to the country, and Xiuchen didn’t even let me have a meal with Ranran.”

Bai Xiaoxiao was still dissatisfied.

“Don’t be upset; let’s discuss some details of the cooperation. I am waiting for the contract to be signed.” Xiao Yuting changed the topic.

Wen Ran was led by Mo Xiuchen to their reserved window seat.

After ordering the meal, Wen Ran suspiciously asked, “Xiuchen, why didn’t you let us sit with Xiaoxiao and the others just now?”

It wouldn’t really matter if they ate together.

She could have a chat with Bai Xiaoxiao and ask about her situation yesterday.

Mo Xiuchen turned to look in the direction of Bai Xiaoxiao and Xiao Yuting, a shallow curve forming on his lips, a calculating gleam flashing in his deep eyes.

“Ranran, don’t you want Xiaoxiao to be happy?”

Wen Ran frowned, “Of course, but what’s that got to do with having lunch together?”

Wen Ran knew that she wasn’t as cunning as Mo Xiuchen, the sly fox. Whenever she sparred with him, she always ended up losing.

Seeing the smile on his lips, she had an intuition that Mo Xiuchen was planning something again.

Mo Xiuchen’s smile deepened slightly, his voice deep and magnetic as it spilled from his thin lips, “I think Xiao Yuting has intentions toward Xiaoxiao.”

“Hmm, Xiao Yuting seemed to pursue her before Xiaoxiao went abroad, I know that.”

Wen Ran’s eyes flickered as she tried hard to think about Mo Xiuchen’s intentions.

Mo Xiuchen seemed to notice her confusion and curiosity, proactively explaining, “We all know that Xiaoxiao doesn’t like Meng Ke, but due to reality and family pressure, she is with Meng Ke now.”

As the waiter served the food, he paused momentarily.

After the waiter left, he picked up a knife and fork and started cutting the steak in front of him, performing the actions gracefully and skillfully. In less than two minutes, he had finished cutting the steak, “Ranran, have some of this.”

Mo Xiuchen switched the cut steak with Wen Ran, placing her portion in front of himself.

“Thank you!”

Wen Ran thanked him with a giggle, Mo Xiuchen smiled indulgently, and continued the previous conversation, “Xiaoxiao just returned to the country. Even if Meng Ke wants to get married this year, she probably won’t agree.”

“Hmm.”

Wen Ran nodded, and she had already told Xiaoxiao yesterday not to rush into marriage.

A hint of a smile spread across Mo Xiuchen’s eyes, “As long as she doesn’t marry Meng Ke, there’s hope for her and Ah Feng. I heard from Ah Feng that they have phone contact, which shows their relationship is still good.”

Though they may not be lovers, they are friends.

Hearing this, Wen Ran immediately understood his initial intention.

Her eyes widened in shock, both surprised and a bit delighted and excited, “Xiuchen, are you hoping Xiao Yuting becomes involved too…”

“Ranran is indeed very clever.”

Mo Xiuchen raised his handsome eyebrows, generously praising her.

Wen Ran chuckled twice, then looked at him seriously, “But will Xiao Yuting’s involvement hurt Xiaoxiao?”

“It shouldn’t; he likes Xiaoxiao now, unlike in the past when he only hurt her.”

In fact, Mo Xiuchen wished that something would go wrong with Meng Ke, or that Meng Ke would make some mistakes so that Bai Xiaoxiao’s parents would not like him as much.

The only problem he found tricky was that Luo Haofeng was far away in City B.

Meeting Bai Xiaoxiao was not easy for him.

Wen Ran thought for a moment, agreeing with Mo Xiuchen’s reasoning, and immediately smiled, “Xiuchen, if Luo Haofeng and Xiaoxiao can end up together, then a bit of hardship in the process doesn’t matter.”

As long as Xiaoxiao can be happy, it’s worth going through some rough patches.

Mo Xiuchen understood the worry in Wen Ran’s words and saw the unease in her smile. He reached across the table to hold her small hand, “Ah Kai and Yiyi have different situations than Xiaoxiao and Ah Feng, but they overcame the hatred from the previous generation. Give Xiaoxiao and Ah Feng more time together, and I believe they can do it too.”

Seeing the certainty in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes, Wen Ran’s unease eased a bit, silently praying that Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng could ultimately resolve the grievances of the previous generation.
