Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict - Chapter 618
Chapter 618: 617, Just listen to you
Wen Ran sniffled, upset again at the thought of the dream. Her voice carried a hint of hesitation and stiffness, “Dad just took me to your side, and you haven’t held my hand, when suddenly a bullet flew into your body…”
By the end of her sentence, Wen Ran’s eyes were sparkling with tears.
Mo Xiuchen replied with a smile, “Silly girl, it was just a dream, the opposite of reality.”
“Hmm, you’re right, dreams and reality are opposites. Xiuchen, I suddenly don’t want to have the wedding ceremony anymore.”
It’s not that Wen Ran didn’t want the ceremony, she was just afraid. Although she verbally agreed that dreams and reality were opposites, in her heart, she didn’t think so. She had always been haunted by one dream from childhood to adulthood, where the scenes in the dream were her own experiences.
And now, she was very afraid that the scenes from her dreams would one day come true…
“Why?”
Mo Xiuchen asked gently.
Wen Ran smiled and said light-heartedly, “There’s no particular reason. I just suddenly don’t want to hold a wedding ceremony. Xiuchen, when I said those words on that day, I was worried about my deteriorating health condition. But now that I’m alright, instead of organizing a wedding, I think it’s better for us to quietly be together.”
She didn’t need anything grand, just being able to spend a quiet, peaceful life with him until they got old was enough.
“Whatever you say goes, I’ll listen to you. It’s not even dawn yet, let’s sleep a little longer.”
Mo Xiuchen covered her eyes with his hand. Wen Ran obediently closed her eyes under the warmth of his palm. Smelling the refreshing masculine scent from him, she soon drifted off to sleep.
**
When she opened her eyes again, it was already 9 am.
Mo Xiuchen was nowhere to be seen in the room. The floor-to-ceiling window was closed, and although the room was brightly lit, the light didn’t hurt her eyes.
Wen Ran sat up and finished putting on her clothes. As she was about to get off the bed, a faint door-opening sound reached her ears. She looked over to see Mo Xiuchen entering from the door. Seeing that she was already up, he gave her a smiling glance and spoke with a clear, pleasant voice, “Ranran, you’re up!”
“Where have you been?”
Wen Ran rubbed her eyes while looking at the man walking towards her.
He was dressed casually, with a refined demeanor, warm and gentle like jade. But it was especially the slight curve of his lips that was both handsome and charming, rendering Wen Ran momentarily dazed.
Mo Xiuchen approached her and gently brushed the loose hair from her forehead before teasingly saying, “Ranran, you’re back to reality!”
Wen Ran came back to her senses, glared at him, but Mo Xiuchen just laughed out loud, “Ranran, last night, Haofeng spent the night in Xiaoxiao’s room.”
“What, really? Haofeng stayed in Xiaoxiao’s room last night, did they progress that quickly?”
Wen Ran widened her eyes in surprise. Last night, Xiaoxiao had hypocritically asked her to sleep with her. But it turned out, she let Haofeng stay.
“Don’t get the wrong idea. Haofeng simply spent the night sleeping on the sofa. But it does make me wonder, is the sofa in the hotel better than the one in our living room?”
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes crinkled in amusement, his voice full of teasing.
Wen Ran didn’t immediately make the connection between the hotel sofa and the one at their home.
Mo Xiuchen patiently explained, “In the past if Haofeng got drunk, he would feel incredibly wronged to have to spend the night in our living room. He’d blame me for not offering him a guest room. Yet last night, he voluntarily slept on the sofa in Xiaoxiao’s room and looked perfectly content this morning.”
“Pfft!”
After finally understanding, Wen Ran couldn’t hold back a laugh.
Her eyes lit up with mirth as she looked at Mo Xiuchen’s handsome face, “Where are Haofeng and Xiaoxiao now? We should do an interview and find out what’s going on.”
“Hmm, Xiaoxiao had work today and has already left. Haofeng is having breakfast downstairs.”
Mo Xiuchen was pleased with Wen Ran’s suggestion. It was indeed time to interview Haofeng.
Wen Ran cheerfully said, “Wait for me, I am going to wash my face.”
She then turned and ran into the bathroom. Watching her disappear into the bathroom, a satisfied smile crossed Mo Xiuchen’s face.
His Ranran often shared the same wavelength as him. Since they were free anyway, finding some fun to make her happy was his aim.
As for the brotherhood, this was what it was for.
He didn’t feel guilty at all for using Haofeng to please the woman he loved. Considering Haofeng’s behavior last night, as if he was afraid of Ah Mu stealing his girlfriend, perhaps he should invite Ah Mu too.
Qin Family
Qin Mu had just finished breakfast too.
After they left last night, his mother nagged at him for a while until he pretended to be asleep. Only then did his mother reluctantly let him go back to his room.
At this moment, Qin Mu was sitting on the couch in the living room, listening to his mother scold him, “Ah Mu, since you have time these days, go on more dates. I’ve arranged it for you. Don’t give me any excuses or reasons.”
“Ah Mu, are you listening?”
His mother had been speaking for a while, but when she saw no response from Qin Mu, she straightened her face and her voice turned serious.
Only then did Qin Mu lazily look up at his mother, a perfunctory smile on his face, “Mom, I’m listening. I will go on the dates as you’ve arranged.”
There are also arranged dates with An Lin among them, you two have known each other since childhood…”
“Mom!”
Qin Mu interrupted his mother unhappily. He could endure dates with women he didn’t know, but involving An Lin was a step too far.
“What ‘mom’? An Lin is such a good girl. If you can marry her, you should count yourself lucky.”
Mother Qin glanced at her son and continued, “If you were as reliable as Xiuchen and took care of the marriage issue yourself, or pursued girls actively like Haofeng, would I need to worry this much? I know you only think of An Lin as a sister…”
The ringing of a phone cut off Mother Qin’s words. Qin Mu quickly took out his phone, checked the caller ID, and said, “It’s Xiuchen. Mom, I need to take this.”
“Hello, Xiuchen.”
“Ah Mu, come over to the hotel right now. I’ll give you a chance for revenge.”
The playful and pleased voice of Mo Xiuchen came over the phone, but Qin Mu was confused, “Revenge for what?”
“Haofeng didn’t go back to his hotel last night, but slept on the sofa in Xiaoxiao’s room. Ranran plans to interview him in a bit. Do you want to come over?”
Mo Xiuchen’s voice took a gentle turn when he mentioned the name ‘Ranran’.
Qin Mu’s eyes flickered, and he replied calmly, “Okay, I’ll come right away.”
After hanging up the phone, he said to Mother Qin, who was sitting across from him on the sofa, “Mom, Xiuchen needs me urgently. I’m going over now. Could you send me the details of the arranged dates? I’ll head straight there.”
Before Mother Qin could respond, Qin Mu had already left the sofa. His handsome figure quickly disappeared from sight.
