Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 246: 245 Jealousy

Her face subtly turned pale. It was like a sharp knife had ruthlessly pierced through her heart; the pain was acute and unbearable.

She really should’ve avoided it, chose not to witness their lovey-dovey behavior.

But, she couldn’t tear her eyes away from the man she loved, standing right before her, expressing his deep affection towards another woman with his utmost indulgence.

The more her heart ached, the more she wanted to see.

Wen Ran seemingly didn’t notice Cheng Jia’s stiff body. Upon hearing MO Xiuchen’s words, she beamed so cheerfully and said, “Xiuchen, you are so kind. ”

“Let’s have dinner first. Without a full stomach, how would one have the energy for a movie?

The corners of MO Xiuchen’s eyes crinkled, fully displaying an affectionate smile.

Leading Wen Ran to the seat not far away from them, he turned his head and could see everything clearly.

The once delicious food instantly became tasteless in Cheng Jia’s mouth. Once she sat back down, she lost her appetite, her gaze uncontrollably slipping over to the next table.

MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran were speaking in low voices. Although Cheng Jia couldn’t hear what they were saying, she couldn’t help but feel extremely jealous.

She wanted to stab Wen Ran with the fork in her hand, murder her, steal her place, and enjoy MO Xiuchen’s love and indulgence.

“Why aren’t you eating?

Across the table, Little Liu had noticed Cheng Jia’s unusual behavior. A flicker of disdain passed through his eyes, then he spoke with indifference.

Cheng Jia was taken aback and when she regained awareness, she realized that she had been slashing the steak on her plate with her knife, treating it like Wen Ran. She cut it into fragments and constantly stabbed it with her fork.

“I’m full.”

She masked her emotions and spoke softly.

Though she looked down on Little Liu, she acted tenderly before him, portraying the image of an obedient girlfriend. She couldn’t let him lose faith in her while she was unable to receive MO Xiuchen’s love.

Wen Ran was aware of Cheng Jia’s gaze focused on their table. She could see all of Cheng Jia’s expressions and actions reflected in a glass pillar nearby.

When MO Xiuchen pushed the neatly cut steak towards her, she grinned and said, “Your steak doesn’t look as messed up as Cheng Jia’s. It seems like she’s venting her anger on the steak, wishing she could tear it into a thousand pieces.”

MO Xiuchen couldn’t be bothered to glance at Cheng Jia, hence he hadn’t noticed her actions until now.

Or perhaps it was more accurate to say that he had forgotten her; Wen Ran was the only one in his eyes and his heart. He attentively cut the steak for her and passed it to her.

Upon hearing her joking remark, his attractive eyebrows furrowed slightly. A fleeting hint of coldness flashed across his deep eyes.

Very quickly, he hid the coldness and adopted his usual gentle demeanor. He softly said, “Don’t let her spoil your appetite.”

He paused, turned his head, and glanced at Cheng Jia coldly. Then he suggested to Wen Ran, “Ranran, if you don’t want to see her, we can go to another

When he said these words, he didn’t intentionally lower his voice. The dining hall was temporarily silent, so Cheng Jia heard his words clearly and her face instantly turned pale.

MO Xiuchen didn’t mention her name, but she knew more than clearly, he was talking about her.

The hatred in her heart fermented, filled her heart to the brim, and nearly suffocated her. Because of her deep-rooted hatred, her originally pale face turned an alarming shade of red.

“It’s okay. I’ll just watch you.”

Wen Ran giggled. She picked up a piece of steak with her fork, but she didn’t put it in her mouth. Instead, she fed it to MO Xiuchen, who was sitting across her.

“Feel free to watch!”

MO Xiuchen, with a charming smile, accepted the steak Wen Ran was feeding him. The deep affection in his eyes made Wen Ran feel as if he was devouring her instead of the steak.

Feeling a little shy under his intense gaze, Wen Ran blushed and lowered her head, feeding herself a piece of steak.

“Ranran, I want more.”

MO Xiuchen wasn’t actually upset because he wanted more steak; instead, he was unsatisfied that Wen Ran was lowering her head, focusing on the steak in the plate, and ignoring his handsome presence.

“Don’t you have some?”

Without lifting her head, Wen Ran was interrupted by MO Xiuchen’s words that carried an undertone of childishness and stubbornness, “I want to eat yours. If you won’t share your steak, then I’ll eat you.”

After dinner, MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran actually followed Cheng Jia and Little Liu to the cinema.

Moreover, MO Xiuchen generously bought VIP couples’ suites for them and sat adjacent to them.

Wen Ran really wasn’t a fan of artistic films; she preferred blockbusters. After just a few minutes into the movie, she was already feeling sleepy, just like the night at the concert hall.

“Ranran, do you want to sleep?”

MO Xiuchen’s deep voice, filled with masculine warmth, echoed in her ears.

Wen Ran looked up at him. She thought about Cheng Jia and Little Liu nearby and shook her head reluctantly,”No.”

“If you want to sleep, just sleep. Don’t consider irrelevant people.”

MO Xiuchen, perceiving her wee apprehension, gave her an affectionate smile. His arm, originally around her waist, moved up to her shoulders, forcing her to rest her head on his shoulder.

Wen Ran stifled another yawn. After another couple of minutes, she couldn’t muster any interest in the movie’s protagonist. Unable to resist her sleepiness anymore, she said to MO Xiuchen, “I’ll sleep for a while. Wake me up when it gets exciting,” and quickly drifted off to sleep.

MO Xiuchen gently caressed her cheek and her hand. He detached himself slightly from her, removed his own coat, draped it over her, and carefully held her in his arms, serving as her pillow and bolster.

In the adjacent suite, under the dim light, Cheng Jia watched MO Xiuchen. Instead of watching the movie, he was gazing tenderly at Wen Ran, sleeping peacefully in his arms. At that moment, all Cheng Jia’s attention diverted from the movie to him.

Little Liu, having no interest in this kind of film either, wasn’t watching Cheng Jia, but was aware of her thoughts focused on MO Xiuchen.

As a result, not a single person out of the four was actually watching the movie.

Before Wen Ran fell asleep, she asked MO Xiuchen to wake her when it came to the exciting part. Unexpectedly, that scoundrel MO Xiuchen woke her up with a kiss.

In a place like the cinema, particularly in couples’ suites, kissing was perfectly normal.

However, Wen Ran couldn’t believe that MO Xiuchen dared to wake her up in this manner, in front of so many people.

“Ranran, you told me to wake you up when it got exciting. Wasn’t my timing perfect? It’s the exciting part now.”

His sexy and enchanting voice was tinged with huskiness from the kiss. His hot breath sprayed on her flushed cheeks. His deep eyes were sparkling with amusement.

Without lifting her head, Wen Ran knew exactly what the ‘exciting part’ he was referring to.

However, the moaning sound in her ears couldn’t hold a candle to the allure of his husky voice, which accelerated her heartbeat. In the dim light, there were other couples passionately kissing around them.

The entire room was filled with an intense atmosphere of ambiguity. Before Wen Ran could speak, her view suddenly darkened as her lips were again captured in a deep kiss by MO Xiuchen..
