Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict - Chapter 490
Chapter 490: 489 is not impulsive
“Was it Fu Jingyi who called Wen Ran?”
As soon as Mo Xiuchen hung up the phone, Luo Haofeng asked skeptically. Qin Mu’s brow nearby was furrowed, his gaze cold and indifferent.
Fu Jingyi, it was him again!
Last time, on the day of the press conference, he called Gu Yan, even warning Gu Yan to keep his children under close watch. Now, as soon as Xiuchen and Wen Ran were back, he showed up.
Mo Xiuchen’s face looked very bad, his handsome features, every inch of them, frosty.
His thin lips drew a firm straight line, his voice grave: “I don’t know what Fu Jingyi has told Ranran.”
“What could he have said? Isn’t it just that Wen Ran can’t have children? Could there be anything else?” Luo Haofeng looked doubtfully at Mo Xiuchen. Qin Mu narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Mo Xiuchen, a questing look in his gaze.
“No.”
Mo Xiuchen glanced at Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu, his icy features showing a hint of pallor.
Ranran is not just unable to have children. Aside from that, she has a poison in her body…
The faces of Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu changed, “What else?”
Seeing the pain in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes, Qin Mu’s expression shifted, his voice dull: “Even if Fu Jingyi said something, Wen Ran is not likely to believe him completely. After she calms down, she’ll certainly change her mind.”
Luo Haofeng also nodded, no longer pressing for an answer: “Don’t beat yourself up, just think of it as Wen Ran wanting to go home. She can’t be expected not to return home even after marrying you, right?”
“Why don’t you call Bai Xiaoxiao, ask her to meet Wen Ran for a chat? They’re like sisters, perhaps Wen Ran will be willing to talk to her.”
Mo Xiuchen had no objection to Qin Mu’s suggestion. Luo Haofeng raised an eyebrow, wanting to retort ‘why don’t you call’, but remembering Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran’s situation, he reluctantly pulled out his cellphone.

Wen Ran lay on her bed, her eyes closed, but sleep wouldn’t come.
Fu Jingyi’s voice echoed in her ears, Mo Xiuchen’s face floated before her eyes.
Their time together over the months was like someone carving into her heart with a knife, mark upon mark, forever unforgettable.
Perhaps half an hour later, footsteps could be heard in the corridor, along with the sound of soft talking. It was the voices of her brother, Wen Jin, and Bai Xiaoxiao.
Then, the door was pushed open, Bai Xiaoxiao said something to Wen Jin, Wen Jin responded with a ‘good’, glanced at the bed, turned around, and left.
Bai Xiaoxiao wheeled herself to the foot of the bed without waking Wen Ran, simply sitting there quietly, watching her.
A few minutes passed before she finally broke the silence, her voice gently echoing in the room: “Ranran, Mo Xiuchen is worried about you and asked me to come check on you.”
She didn’t say that she also was worried about her. Everyone, was worried.
Wen Ran’s eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes to look at Bai Xiaoxiao.
At the mention of Mo Xiuchen, her heart shivered. Before, she had thought that being loved by him made her the happiest woman in the world. But now, she wished he hadn’t been so good to her. If possible, she wished, that he loved her a little less.
Seeing her swollen eyes, Bai Xiaoxiao’s gaze tightened, she said softly, “Ranran, you scared us all this afternoon.”
“I’m sorry.”
Wen Ran’s lips trembled, she knew that her abrupt departure from the company must have worried everyone to death.
Once she regained her senses at the motel, she immediately thought to call Mo Xiuchen. Then, at the window, sighting the familiar figure below, her heart began to throb with pain.
Bai Xiaoxiao frowned, “Ranran, what are you saying ‘sorry’ for? I’m not blaming you. Just now, Luo Haofeng told me on the phone that you proposed a divorce to Mo Xiuchen. Was it just a moment of impulse?”
Not to mention she didn’t believe it, even Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu didn’t believe it. Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen’s relationship was so good it made everyone envious.
Maybe, from the perspective of Mo Xiuchen’s friends, it appears he treats Wen Ran so well, so loving and indulgent, but as Ranran’s friend, Bai Xiaoxiao recognizes Wen Ran’s unwavering loyalty and protection towards Mo Xiuchen.
When Luo Haofeng told her on the phone that Wen Ran proposed divorce to Mo Xiuchen, she thought she had heard wrongly.
Even after asking Luo Haofeng a second time, she still couldn’t believe it.
She loves Mo Xiuchen so much, how could she possibly divorce him?
She insisted, it must have been a rash moment for Wen Ran to utter the word ‘divorce’.
Wen Ran’s eyes flashed with pain, she quickly lowered her gaze to conceal the emotion within. The moment Bai Xiaoxiao finished speaking, her hand under the blanket abruptly clenched.
Seeing her silence, Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t press, just sat patiently, her gaze soft on Wen Ran.
After a long while, Wen Ran’s voice faintly rose: “It wasn’t impulse.”
“Ranran, how could it be possible?”
Bai Xiaoxiao raised her voice, her eyes shocked: “What’s the big deal about not being able to have children? When you and Mo Xiuchen got married, what was your answer to my comment about his incompetency in that aspect? You said, even if you lived only nominally as husband and wife your entire life, you would not leave him.”
Wen Ran’s body tensed slightly, her eyes filled with emotions: “Back then, I was doing it for the sake of the pharmaceutical factory.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes reddened with sadness, “Alright, let’s say that back then you were doing it for the pharmaceutical factory and had nothing to do with Mo Xiuchen, but what about after? Dare you say you didn’t fall in love with him? If you didn’t love him, why would you fly to City C the moment you heard he was injured? If you didn’t love him, why would tears fall whenever his tragic childhood was brought up? If you didn’t love him, why would you accompany him in consuming traditional Chinese medicine for months?”
“Back then, when Mo Xiuchen was ill, what did you say? You were so strong, so sure his illness could be cured, even if it couldn’t be, even if you could not have children in your lifetime, would you desert him?”
Wen Ran bit her lip hard, using all her strength to suppress the waves of emotions in her heart…
In the past, of course, she wouldn’t have thought that way. If Mo Xiuchen were the one who was ill, even if they didn’t have children in the end, she would still stay with him.
Stay with him till her last breath!
Back then, she firmly believed his illness could be cured, she firmly believed that during their long life together, they would definitely have kids.
But now, she no longer dares!
A lifetime!
Yesterday, she still felt that term was very long. But now, she felt lost and scared. Because her lifetime, and Mo Xiuchen’s lifetime, weren’t the same.
If it was destined that she should leave him first, then why should she hurt him in order to be with him? It didn’t matter if she couldn’t be with him, as long as he was well.
If he’s healthy and well, even without her, other women would love him. Although this was the last thing she wanted to see, she had nonetheless chosen this path!
