Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 318: 317 I’m waiting for you

Wen Ran had prepared to see him off, but the night before, he had kept her up late, and it was nearly three in the morning before he let her go to sleep.

In the morning, she woke up feeling drained. At dawn, she had wanted to get up, but Mo Xiuchen held her in his arms, forbidding her from getting up.

In his warm embrace, drowsy and confused, she went back to sleep.

When she finally woke up, it was well into the morning.

She picked up her phone from the bedside, and there was one unread message from Mo Xiuchen: “Ranran, during these days when I’m not here, remember to miss me!”

Only this one sentence.

Upon reading it, Wen Ran felt warmth and sweetness filling her heart.

In their marriage, from the beginning, he had domineeringly demanded her to do this and that, and now, even when he was away on business, he still dominantly required her to miss him.

How could she not miss such a man? He had just left, and she had already started to miss him.

Wen Ran had a phone call with Bai Xiaoxiao and learned that Mother Bai got to the hospital early in the morning to accompany her. She then lazed about in bed for a while longer, getting up only at eleven o’clock.

When she went downstairs, Nanny Zhang had already prepared lunch. Seeing Wen Ran, she said with a smile, “Miss, the young master told me that you would sleep until noon, so I don’t need to make breakfast for you. All I have to do is prepare lunch early…”

Wen Ran smiled and nodded, saying “okay”.

Maybe Mo Xiuchen had given his instructions for Nanny Zhang, she stood by Wen Ran’s side while serving the lunch, afraid that Wen Ran would lose her appetite being alone.

In the afternoon, Wen Ran first went to Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory, then went to the hospital.

Accompanying her were Little Liu, the driver, and two burly bodyguards with excellent skills, who were typically taciturn.

Wen Ran had dinner in the hospital with Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao was recovering well, looking better and eating more each day.

When Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng arrived, Wen Ran had just finished cleaning up the dishes. Coming out from the kitchen, she saw them appearing together, she blinked in surprise, greeting them with a smile, “Luo Haofeng, Qin Mu, why did you arrive together at this time!”

“Before Xiuchen left on his business trip, he instructed me to protect your safety.”

Qin Mu had not seen Wen Ran for many days. Seeing her gentle and bright smile, he instinctively looked away towards Bai Xiaoxiao in the hospital bed.

Wen Ran had a fleeting bewildered look on her face, she placed the cleaned dishes on the table, “I did not know that Xiuchen had already assigned two well-trained bodyguards to follow me around.”

Luo Haofeng chuckled, taking over the conversation, “Xiuchen values you more than anything else. Although the two bodyguards were personally chosen by him, he is still not entirely at ease.”

“Ranran, you are really lucky.”

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Wen Ran with admiration.

Mo Xiuchen was indeed a model husband. His love and care for Wen Ran were truly unparalleled.

“Ah Mu, why don’t you take Wen Ran home? If Xiuchen calls later and she hasn’t rested at home, I believe Xiuchen will worry again.”

Luo Haofeng went to the bed, took a look at Bai Xiaoxiao on the bed, pulled out a chair to sit down, casually crossing his legs. “I will stay here and help you look after Xiaoxiao.”

Xiao Yuting said that he would come to see Bai Xiaoxiao tonight, but when evening arrived, Luo Haofeng was here, and Xiao Yuting was not.

Even for these past few days, he hadn’t shown up.

But Luo Haofeng had become a frequent visitor to Bai Xiaoxiao’s hospital room, making an appearance every day.

With an inquiring look, Qin Mu asked Wen Ran, “Can we leave now?”

“Okay, Xiaoxiao, I’ll come to see you tomorrow. Luo Haofeng, do not bully Xiaoxiao.”

After instructing Luo Haofeng, Wen Ran left the room with Qin Mu.

“Qin Mu, are you busy? If you are, you don’t have to take me home. I want to visit my brother.”

As they walked to the elevator, Wen Ran turned to Qin Mu as he reached to press the elevator button.

The latter shook his head, his tone calm, “I’m not busy. You can go visit him. I’ll wait for you.”

“Aren’t you coming in?”

The elevator doors opened, it was empty inside. Wen Ran stepped in first, but seeing Qin Mu still stood outside, she asked in confusion.

Qin Mu pursed his lips before entering.

In the small elevator, they were the only two people. Qin Mu instinctively kept some distance from Wen Ran. Regardless, her scent still clearly drifted up to his nose, straight into his lungs, making his heart flutter.

“Qin Mu, has Xiuchen assigned you a lot of work lately? You seem to have lost weight.”

Wen Ran’s words startled Qin Mu, he turned his head, meeting Wen Ran’s probing gaze, his heart skipped a beat. He looked away immediately and answered stiffly, “I’m fine!”

“Actually, having those two bodyguards to protect me is really enough. Xiuchen is just too worried. You are too busy with company matters, you really don’t need to worry about me.”

Looking at his cold expression, Wen Ran frowned slightly.

“I will arrange my work properly, it won’t be delayed.”

Inside, Qin Mu was torn.

On the one hand, he knew he shouldn’t have such thoughts, he shouldn’t even be close to Wen Ran. He always considered himself to have a strong self-control, but he didn’t know why he was so helpless when it came to his feelings.

The more he tried not to think about it, the more it lingered in front of him, impossible to dismiss.

When Xiuchen asked him to protect Wen Ran during this period, his rational mind told him he should refuse. But in his subconscious, he felt a little bit of joy.

He could see her in a justifiable way.

He didn’t ask for anything else, just seeing her bright smile, all his depression and struggle of these days immediately vanished with the wind.

As a result, he switched his dinner plans to lunchtime, dealt with all matters efficiently and after work, he grabbed a quick bite with Luo Haofeng before rushing to the hospital.

Wen Ran didn’t know what Qin Mu was thinking, she smiled and said, “When Xiuchen comes back from his business trip, I will tell him to give you a few days off so you can have a good rest.”

During this time, Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu had a really hard time. Even though she had only worked in Xiuchen’s company for a few days, she had seen this clearly.

“Let’s talk about it then!”

The cold expression on Qin Mu’s face finally softened a bit, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Even though he didn’t smile, his facial features softened a bit.

The elevator arrived at the floor where Wen Jin was staying, Qin Mu motioned for Wen Ran to go first, and followed behind her, gently speaking, “You go see your brother, I will wait for you here in the hallway.”

Wen Ran nodded her head, walked a few steps, then turned around and said to Qin Mu, “I won’t be too long.”

“It’s okay, I’m not busy tonight.”

Qin Mu gave her a rare smile, his voice deep and gentle. After speaking, he took steps towards the smoking area. While Wen Ran was talking to Wen Jin in the ward, he was smoking alone in the hallway, his handsome face obscured by the wispy smoke, his gaze distant and dark, his thoughts drifting to an unknown place.
