Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Cheng Jia’s voice interrupted the conversation between MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran. cutting off the warm and subtlv sweet atmosDhere that was circulating

between them with hints of jealousy.

MO Xiuchen’s deep eyes flickered slightly at this. On hearing Cheng Jia’s voice, Wen Ran looked up at her with a surprised expression, as if she just noticed her presence. In a slightly surprised tone, she said, “Oh, Miss Cheng, you’re here too!”

Cheng Jia flashed her a smile, pointing to the lunchbox on the coffee table. “Today is Young Master Mo’s birthday. I have no other gift to give, so I prepared some dishes that he prefers. I just asked Young Master MO if he would like me to inform you,” she said.

Still with the look of surprise on her face, Wen Ran scanned the lunchbox on the coffee table, then turned to MO Xiuchen and asked, “Miss Cheng cooked for you, why didn’t you call and tell me?”

MO Xiuchen’s eyebrow slightly furrowed as he took the lunchbox from Cheng Jia’s hand, explaining softly, “I asked Cheng Jia to leave the lunchbox here so I can have it later. You asked me to try your dishes, right? Let me see how it looks first.”

A trace of hurt flashed in Cheng Jia’s eyes; her smile froze for a moment.

Looking at MO Xiuchen holding the lunchbox in one hand and holding Wen Ran’s hand in the other as they walked towards the sofa, her eyes lingered on their clasped hands. Her lips unconsciously tightened.

“Young Master MO, since Miss Wen has cooked for you, I guess mine wouldn’t be needed. I’ll take it back,” Cheng Jia said.

Cheng Jia realized that she would only humiliate herself by staying. Not wanting to see their sweet moments any longer, she took the initiative to leave.

MO Xiuchen let Wen Ran sit opposite him on the sofa, and lightly nodded towards Cheng Jia, saying in a calm voice, “That’s a good idea. You have been cooking all morning, you should eat it yourself.”

Cheng Jia pursed her lips. She glanced at Wen Ran sitting in the sofa, picked up her lunchbox without any regret, and left his office. As she closed the door behind her, a hint of jealousy and resentment flashed in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and left the room in her high heels.

Once she left, only Wen Ran and MO Xiuchen were left in the spacious office room. The atmosphere subtly changed.

Looking at MO Xiuchen confidently opening the lunchbox and taking out the dishes, Wen Ran’s hands quietly tightened. She fixed her gaze on him nervously, worried about whether the dishes she spent all morning preparing would please him.

MO Xiuchen arranged the food and soup on the coffee table. The smell of the dishes gradually filled the whole office. His expression was calm, his deep eyes as tranquil as a pool, his emotions hidden.

After looking at the dishes for a few seconds, he lifted his gaze to Wen Ran. Seeing the faint tension between her brows, he squinted his eyes and asked, “When did you learn to cook?”

“Hmm?”

Wen Ran blinked in surprise at his question. Realizing he wasn’t displeased, she broke into a smile again. “Why don’t you taste it first, and I’ll tell you later?”

“Okay!”

MO Xiuchen’s mouth curled up into a smile. He picked up a chopstick and took a small bite of the fried fish skin. After a moment, a trace of a smile appeared in his eyes. “Not bad, now you can tell me, right?”

He passed the other chopstick to her. Wen Ran took it and said with a big grin, “I just learned a few days ago. So far, I’ve only learned to cook these three dishes.”

Her answer didn’t surprise him, but it made his heart flutter as if it was being gently plucked by an invisible hand.

He looked at Wen Ran, her eyes bright, her smile light. Quietly sitting there, facing him quietly, the feeling was more intoxicating than ever. It reminded him of the little girl he had not clearly seen before.

She had just started to learn cooking a few days ago and could only cook these three dishes. All of which were now in front of him.

Just like how that little girl had disregarded her own safety to save him, he felt a wave of emotion washing over him. That warmth melted the iceberg in his heart that had been there for many years.

“Did you learn to cook just for me?” he asked. He suddenly wanted to hear it from her. It has been too long since anyone has treated him this well.

Wen Ran nodded, saying bluntly, “Of course, this is my birthday gift to you. If you like it, eat it all. If you don’t, there’s nothing else.”

By the end of her sentence, Wen Ran shrugged, making a ‘this is what it is, like it or not’ gesture at MO Xiuchen. In his eyes, she seemed incredibly adorable.

He was entertained by her gestures and broke into a buoyant laughter. His handsome features lit up by his smile, making him appear even more charming and attractive.

“This is enough food for two people, and I definitely can’t finish it all alone.

You’ll have to try hard and eat as well.”

“No problem.”

Wen Ran replied readily. She had brought the dishes with the idea of sharing the meal with him.

MO Xiuchen raised his eyebrows. “In that case, let’s begin. It won’t taste as good when it gets cold.”

After speaking, he picked up a fish with his chopsticks, skilfully separating the meat from the bone. The filleted fish didn’t contain a single trace of bone.

Wen Ran was so amazed that she couldn’t speak. Only when MO Xiuchen placed some fish in her bowl did she exclaim with surprise, “Your fish deboning skill is incredible!”

MO Xiuchen laughed lightly and proudly proclaimed, “My fish deboning skill is not worse than your cooking skill. Eat with peace of mind, there is not a single bone in this fish.”

Wen Ran inspected the fish in her bowl. It indeed had no traces of bone. A radiant smile bloomed on her face. She picked up a piece of fish and taste it. “I liked fish before, but I lost interest after choking on a bone a few times.”

MO Xiuchen popped a piece of fish into his mouth, thoughtfully chew it, and swallowed. Then he said confidently, “That’s easy to solve. From now on, whenever you want to eat fish, I’ll debone it for you.”

“Really?”

Wen Ran asked joyfully. If someone could debone the fish for her, she would surely be willing.

“You’re responsible for cooking, I’ll debone the fish for you,” he proposed.

MO Xiuchen put forth his condition. He enjoyed the feeling of being cared for and wanted it to continue.

After considering for a moment, Wen Ran decided the deal was good. Now that she had learned to cook for him, she was naturally willing to prepare meals for him. As she looked at his smiling face, she was reminded of what Little Liu had said about MO Xiuchen now able to smile.

At this thought, she agreed, “Deal!”

The two of them finished their meal happily. Wen Ran chatted with MO Xiuchen for a while, and as the afternoon work hours approached, she suggested leaving to avoid interfering with his work.

MO Xiuchen called Little Liu to pick her up. Surprisingly, Little Liu had not gone back yet and was nearby the MS Group.

MO Xiuchen escorted Wen Ran to the ground floor, watching her get into the car and leave before turning around and heading back to the company.

Once MO Xiuchen was out of sight in the rearview mirror, Wen Ran immediately said to Little Liu who was driving, “We’re not going home now..

Take me to the hospital!”
