Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 354: 353 Don’t force yourself



Wen Ran was also taken aback.

When Qin Mu announced yesterday that he was going for a blind date, they all thought he was just saying it.

But how did it come true just overnight?

“Qin Mu, are you really going back home for a blind date?”

Wen Ran, filled with shock, looked at Qin Mu. She always felt that his character was the closest to Mo Xiuchen, both exuding that cold and ruthless aura.

She vividly remembered the first time he hung up her call before she finished talking. Through their subsequent interactions, she gradually changed her opinion about him.

After a period of time, she realized that beneath his icy exterior was a warm, kind-hearted man.

Qin Mu glanced at Wen Ran, shifted his gaze away and replied calmly, “Yes, my mom said I should get married within a year. Rather than hearing her nag every day, I figured I might as well go on a blind date and get the marriage certificate if I find someone suitable.”

To him, getting married was as simple as purchasing items: if you think it’s okay, just buy it.

“Ah Mu, are you running a fever?”

Luo Haofeng stepped forward and unsuspectingly felt Qin Mu’s forehead for a fever. Then he frowned, “You don’t have a fever, it must be because you’re intoxicated by Mo Xiuchen’s daily public displays of affection. You think that by marrying any random woman, you can be as blissful as Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran?”

“I’m not just marrying anyone, I’ve known Ranran for a long time.”

Mo Xiuchen’s eyes gleamed sharply for a moment. Upon his handsome face appeared a smirk. His greatest fortune in life was bumping into Wen Ran early on. Today, he was coordinated with her once again and recognized her at first sight.

“Don’t overreact, it’s just a blind date and a marriage.”

Qin Mu spoke nonchalantly, his gaze unwillingly sweeping over Wen Ran. If getting married to someone could eliminate these inappropriate thoughts in his heart, he was willing to tie the knot.

Perhaps, given enough time, true feelings might emerge.

“Okay, I must have overreacted. If you also find a woman and get married in a quick ceremony, then only Ah Kai and myself will be left.”

Luo Haofeng spoke gloomily. On second thought, Qin Mu going back for a blind date implied that he was no longer interested in Shen Yuting.

Qin Mu’s parents didn’t live in this city. When he referred to going home, he meant the city where his father was working. His mother chose to follow his father, wherever he would be, she would also be there.

When Qin Mu reached home, it was already nine in the evening.

Before returning, he didn’t inform his parents. There was no one at home, and the maid prepared his dinner.

After dinner, Qin Mu went upstairs to his room and took a shower. He was prepared to get into bed when his cell phone rang.

Seeing who was calling, Qin Mu’s eyebrows furrowed, his eyes filled with hesitation.

The ringtone echoed repeatedly, but he had a feeling that Mo Xiuchen’s call wouldn’t bring anything good.

He tossed his phone aside, staring at the screen constantly until it stopped ringing on its own. He took a deep breath, visualizing Wen Ran’s beautiful smiling face right before his eyes.

He slapped his head hard, and cursed internally, “Qin Mu, you’ve seen plenty of women before. How can you keep dwelling on your brother’s woman?”

There wasn’t anything extraordinary about Wen Ran. She’s just more attractive, her face more pure and pleasant, her smiles more brilliant, and she’s kinder and more passionate to others…

Apparently, all he saw were her merits.

He scrunched his eyebrows, muttering, “What a mess, it’s the first time in almost three decades that I’ve fallen for a woman and can’t let her go.”

It seemed like Mo Xiuchen wasn’t planning to let him off. His phone was quiet for two minutes before the piercing ringtone sounded again.

Qin Mu stared at the blinking screen. He could ignore it once saying he didn’t hear it, but he couldn’t ignore it repeatedly. That would only make Mo Xiuchen more suspicious.

“Hello, Xiuchen!”

“Why didn’t you answer earlier?”

Mo Xiuchen’s deep voice came through the phone.

“I didn’t hear it as I was taking a shower.”

Even though they were distanced by a phone call, Qin Mu could lie without batting an eye or altering his tone.

“Ah Mu, I want to ask you something, and I want you to be honest with me.”

As Mo Xiuchen uttered these words, Qin Mu’s heart sunk a little. He gripped his phone tighter, yet his tone remained nonchalant, “What is it?”

“Did you really go home for a blind date?”

“Yes, truly.”

Qin Mu affirmed without hesitation.

“Then is the person you like Shen Yuting?”

“What makes you think so?”

Qin Mu asked sullenly. He got onto the bed, leaning against the headboard and grabbed a pillow to put behind his back.

“Other than Yuting, I can’t think of anyone else who you might like and yet avoid at the same time. Besides, today Yuting returned and you promptly dashed off home. Could it be that you assume she’s uninterested in you and therefore, you didn’t make a move?”

Mo Xiuchen thought his analysis was reasonable.

Of course, he would never dream that the person Qin Mu had a crush on was not Shen Yuting, but his most beloved woman.

Because he is his best brother, the woman he loves, he shouldn’t have any thoughts, so he chose to evade.

“Xiuchen, don’t go wild with your assumptions. I don’t have a person I like. I’ve just been influenced by you and Wen Ran these days and also feel like finding someone to marry.”

A bitter smile crept up on Qin Mu’s face.

Inside, however, the hand clutching the phone loosened a bit.

At least Mo Xiuchen didn’t suspect him of liking Wen Ran. That secret, he never intended to disclose to anyone.

“Well, since you don’t intend to say, I’ll stop asking. However, marriage isn’t like buying goods, don’t be too reckless. It might harm both the other person and you. Attend several blind dates, have more options. If you don’t find someone suitable, don’t force yourself.”

After a moment of silence over the phone, Mo Xiuchen’s voice came through again.

His sincere words warmed Qin Mu’s heart, but also filled it with shame.

“I know, don’t worry. I won’t treat marriage like child’s play. It’s just that I’ve been nagged by my mom for years. I think I can’t keep avoiding, so I would like to see whether the daughter-in-law she found for me is indeed that good.”

It was rare for Qin Mu to talk so much.

Mo Xiuchen chuckled on the other end of the phone, “That’s true, even if you aren’t satisfied with the blind date, your mom will probably feel relieved once you go. Pass on my regards to uncle and aunt.”

“It’s better not to. I’m bound to get a scolding from my mom if I mention you. I’d rather talk about Ah Feng and Ah Kai.”

Qin Mu joked. Ever since Mo Xiuchen got married, Luo Haofeng, Gu Kai, and Qin Mu had to face a lot of criticism from the elders because of him.

Especially Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng. Their families always compared them with Mo Xiuchen and asked them to learn from him, urging them to get married as soon as possible.

“Haha, that makes sense.”

Footsteps could be heard from the staircase. Qin Mu also chuckled, got down from his bed, and said, “My mom and dad are home, I can’t talk anymore.”

He opened the door in anticipation, a hint of a smile played on his lips as he watched the woman, excited as a child, running towards him!</p
