Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict - Chapter 494
Chapter 494: 493 She is afraid
Suburban Villa
Seeing Mo Xiuchen return alone, Nanny Zhang looked at him in surprise, “Young Master, why are you alone? Where’s the young mistress?”
“She’s homesick, she went home for a few days. Nanny Zhang, you don’t need to cook for me tonight. I’m a little tired, I’ll go upstairs to rest.”
Mo Xiuchen glanced at Nanny Zhang and answered indifferently.
Surprised flashed in Nanny Zhang’s eyes, she asked concernedly, “Young Master, did you quarrel with the young mistress?”
It has been a long time since she had seen him so cold. Ever since the young mistress entered the house, the young master gradually wore a smile on his face, giving a warm impression.
But at this moment, his tall figure stood there, exuding a feeling of loneliness no matter how one looked at it.
Mo Xiuchen managed to twitch his lips into a forced smile and answered calmly, “No, Nanny Zhang, don’t worry. I’ll bring Ranran back home in a few days.”
Just as he finished speaking, his phone in his pocket rang. He turned around to go upstairs, taking out his phone to answer the call.
“Hello, Ah Kai!”
“Where are you now?”
Over the phone, Gu Kai’s voice came through. Mo Xiuchen had just reached the second floor and was heading towards his room, “I just got home, do you need something?”
He wanted to take a proper rest, to think about how to make Ranran return to her old self.
“I’m coming to your house, wait for me for dinner.”
Gu Kai glanced at Wen Ran beside him and deliberately turned on the speaker so she could hear Mo Xiuchen’s voice.
“Alright, you can come.”
The silence from the other end of the line indicated Mo Xiuchen wasn’t too welcoming of his interruption at this time and agreed somewhat reluctantly.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Kai spoke to Wen Ran, “Ranran, don’t worry about Mo Xiuchen. I’ll make sure he eats and sleeps properly, he won’t harm his own health. However, you need to take care of yourself too, understood?”
“I understand.”
With Gu Kai accompanying Mo Xiuchen, Wen Ran was at ease.

After his call with Gu Kai, Mo Xiuchen had Nanny Zhang prepare dinner.
Nanny Zhang was still in the living room on the first floor. Hearing his request, she immediately said ‘alright’ and briskly walked into the kitchen.
Just now, when he said he didn’t need dinner, Nanny Zhang had been worried. Now that he had asked her to prepare dinner, she instantly felt relieved.
When Gu Kai reached the villa, Nanny Zhang told him that Mo Xiuchen was upstairs.
He went upstairs and pushed open the door to the master bedroom, where a solitary figure stood by the floor to ceiling window. In the dim light, only the cigarette in his hand flickered.
Gu Kai furrowed his brows and pressed a switch on the wall. The room that was previously in darkness lit up instantly.
Mo Xiuchen’s brows furrowed as he turned to look at Gu Kai, his eyes lingered on his face for two seconds before striding towards the sofa, nonchalantly asking, “Did you come straight from the Wen family?”
It was seemingly a question, but in reality, it was said in a tone of affirmation.
However, knowing that Gu Kai had indeed come straight from the Wen family, he didn’t show any signs of excitement. Gu Kai was slightly aggrieved and counter questioned, “How many cigarettes have you smoked?”
As soon as he entered the room, a strong smell of smoke assailed his nostrils.
He waved his hand in front of his face, frowning as he said, “Are you smoking so much because you don’t want Ranran to come back?”
The light in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes dimmed as he silently extinguished the cigarette he had only taken a few drags from, his gaze firmly on Gu Kai, “What did Ranran tell you?”
Gu Kai sat down on the sofa and poured himself a glass of water. After taking a sip he replied in a leisurely manner, “She said that if you try to get me to have a vasectomy, I shouldn’t agree.”
Mo Xiuchen’s handsome face shifted slightly.
“Xiuchen, you said this afternoon that we shouldn’t force Ranran into anything, but not even two hours later, you’re pressuring her. Are you unsatisfied with the amount of pain she’s already in?”
The pain in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes deepened as his lips tightened, “If I don’t pressure her, she might not change her mind.”
He couldn’t bear to see others pressuring Wen Ran, but he was doing it himself.
He knew she had her reasons for proposing the divorce, but yet he was gambling with her love for him, betting she couldn’t bear to see him hurt himself.
Gu Kai tightly knit his eyebrows while gazing at Mo Xiuchen’s desolate face, his heart ached.
“What did Ranran say?”
There was fear in Mo Xiuchen’s heart when he asked this question.
Living for thirty years and he had never felt such panic before. In his heart, a black hole seemed to be expanding and if he did not struggle, it would consume him.
Gu Kai wasn’t sure whether to tell Mo Xiuchen about the conversation with Wen Ran. She clearly loved Mo Xiuchen deeply but because she couldn’t spend the rest of her life with him, she was insisting on a breakup.
She was even considering having him lose his memories of her.
Seeing that he was silent, Mo Xiuchen’s heart sank. His voice held a touch of suppressed emotion, “Ah Kai, speak!”
“Fu Jingyi told her everything… perhaps there is more we don’t even know.” Gu Kai spoke slowly, every word piercing Mo Xiuchen like needles.
His handsome face suddenly turned pale.
He understood what Gu Kai’s words meant.
The hands resting in front of him suddenly clenched into fists, the knuckles turning white as he used all his strength to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.
“Xiuchen, Ranran is afraid, she’s afraid she won’t be able to be with you till you grow old. I don’t know what else Fu Jingyi said to her. The only thing she told me is that you will eventually lose her. It would be better to leave you now, at least you will have a chance to find happiness…”
Mo Xiuchen didn’t speak, he pressed his lips tightly together.
How could she make a decision for him? Without her, his life wouldn’t have any meaning. Without her, where would his happiness come from?
“Xiuchen, where are you going?”
Seeing Mo Xiuchen suddenly stand and leave, Gu Kai looked at him standing before him, his face was a mixture of emotions, making him appear a little frightening.
“Ah Kai, move aside. I need to find Ranran and explain things to her.”
He stared coldly at Gu Kai. Regardless of whether the Gu father and son were still trying to find solutions, even if she really might leave early, he would stay by her side till the end of her life.
Since their encounter when he was eleven, it was destined that their lives would be tied together. If not, why else could she dream of him even after her memories were deleted?
Without fate, how was he able to recognize her with just a single glance among the sea of people, confirming that she was the one he had been searching for?
There was also the time they had spent together these months, the companionship, the love, everything was negated by her single sentence. He wouldn’t accept it!
“Xiuchen, you can’t go now!”
Gu Kai swiftly stepped forward, his tall figure blocking the door. He stared sternly at Mo Xiuchen whose face was filled with gloom.
In the depths of Mo Xiuchen’s eyes was a darkness that couldn’t be seen through, difficult to discern if it was pain, sorrow, or anger. The concoction of emotions made him seem a little frightening.
With his eyes focused on Gu Kai, he insisted, “I must find Ranran and clear things up!”
He couldn’t handle being arranged by her.
They were destined to meet since their encounter when he was eleven. If not, why else would she dream of him even when her memories were wiped? How was he able to find her among the sea of people and recognize that she was the one he was looking for?
He couldn’t accept that their time of companionship, love, and cherishment over these months was all denied with a single sentence from her!
“Xiuchen, you can’t go now!”
Seeing Mo Xiuchen stood and moved to leave, Gu Kai’s words halted. With a slight change to his facial expressions, he too stood up, gazing intently at Xiuchen.
“I’m going to find her!”
After saying that, he walked away determinedly.
He couldn’t bear letting her take control.
From meeting her when he was eleven, it was destined that their fortunes would be entwined in this life. Otherwise, why would she dream of him in her sleep even when her memories were deleted?
If there was no fate, how could he single her out from the vast sea of people at one glance, and recognize that she was the one he was looking for?
Not to mention the past few months of togetherness, mutual protection, love, and cherishing. All these were negated by her single statement. He was unwilling to accept it!
“Xiuchen, you can’t go now!”
Gu Kai caught up quickly, his tall figure blocking the doorway, looking seriously at Mo Xiuchen, who had a gloomy look on his face.
The depths of Mo Xiuchen’s eyes were bottomlessly dark, it was hard to distinguish whether it was pain, sadness, or anger. His countenance full of mixed emotions made him appear somewhat scary.
“Ah Kai, move aside. I must find Ranran and clarify things!”
His eyes coldly stared at Gu Kai. Regardless of whether the father and son pair were still trying to find solutions, even if she really was to leave early, he wanted to guard her till the end of her life.
