Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Maybe it was because she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep these past days. For the first two nights, with Mo Xiuchen in the next room, she managed to sleep somewhat soundly. However, for the nights that followed, she was tormented by nightmares each night. Tonight, as she lay in his arms, although somewhat confused and dazed, she eventually succumbed to fatigue and fell asleep in his embrace.

Feeling the girl in his arms breathing evenly, Mo Xiuchen slowly let her go, removed his arm from her neck, got up, and went to the bathroom for a cold shower.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he examined her peaceful sleeping face, and his lips unconsciously curved into a gentle smile.

Compared to her leaving, being able to be by her side, to see her, and to feel her breath, he was more than grateful.

He had already guessed a possibility in his heart, and so he felt less panicked and afraid.

He knew Wen Ran too well. He knew he couldn’t rush things with her. He had to be patient and slowly let her open her heart to him. Even if it was as he had suspected, even if it cost him his own health and life, he would still keep her by his side.

That night, Wen Ran had a good sleep. In the arms of her beloved, she didn’t dream of anything.

Mo Xiuchen also slept well. With her by his side, he no longer felt uneasy. Holding her, he soon fell asleep. When he opened his eyes, it was already morning.

The person in his arms woke up at almost the same time as him. Their eyes met, and he pulled up the corners of his lips slightly, his voice gentle but characterized by a trace of seductive laziness, “Ranran, good morning!”

The happiest thing in life must be waking up in the morning and seeing the person you love smiling at you.

“Good morning!”

A smile blossomed between Wen Ran’s eyebrows. Reflected in her clear eyes, was his handsome face.

“Does your hand still hurt?”

Mo Xiuchen took her hand, inspecting it while asking.

Wen Ran shook her head: “Much better, that ointment is very effective.”

The skin where she had scraped her hand was now covered by a scab, and the bruise was gone. It seemed that the ointment was indeed effective.

“Shall we get up now? Or do you want to sleep a bit longer?”

Mo Xiuchen glanced at the clock on the bedside table. It was still early.

Lying in bed and chatting with her was a joyful thing too.

“Let’s get up. I can’t sleep anyway.”

Being this close to him, every breath she took was filled with his scent. Wen Ran inexplicably felt her heart racing, and her cheeks flushed. It was better to get out of bed as soon as possible.

“Alright, I’ll get your clothes for you.”

Without resisting, Mo Xiuchen gave a slight smile. Getting up first, he got out of the bed, went to the dressing room, and picked out clothes for her.

He was quick. In less than two minutes, he carried out all her clothes, already paired.

“Ranran, you get dressed first. I’ll go find mine.”

Knowing that she wouldn’t want him watching her, he tactfully re-entered the dressing room while she got dressed. When she was done, he came out, already dressed neatly.

They brushed their teeth together, just like before. Mo Xiuchen took her hand as they walked downstairs. Nanny Zhang had already prepared breakfast, and seeing them hand in hand, she cheered up.

“Ranran, will you attend the banquet tonight?”

At the breakfast table, Mo Xiuchen looked at Wen Ran with gentle eyes, seeking her opinion.

“It’s a celebration for Cheng Jia. She certainly doesn’t want to see me there. I’d better not go and make a scene. Otherwise, when you announce that she would be Zixuan’s secretary, she would resent me even more.”

Wen Ran declined tactfully. Although she had agreed to reconsider their marriage, this doesn’t mean she decided not to divorce.

In fact, she was still very hesitant in her heart.

Mo Xiuchen’s eyes dimmed slightly, but he quickly regained his smile and stopped trying to persuade her: “Okay, then stay home and rest. Remember, don’t use your hand for anything.”

The implicit meaning was that he hoped she would stay, not planning to leave after one night.

Having already refused his invitation to the celebration tonight, Wen Ran couldn’t bring herself to decline his request for her to stay. Besides, she thought to herself that he would be going to the company later and she would be home alone, so she agreed.

Hearing this, Mo Xiuchen felt a great relief. A smile spread across his face, lighting up his dark eyes. Even breakfast seemed to taste much better.

Seeing his unhidden joy, Wen Ran felt a mix of softness and bitterness in her heart. After breakfast, she accompanied him to the door. At the entrance, Mo Xiuchen halted: “Ranran, it’s chilly today, so don’t go out.”

As he finished, he bent down to kiss her forehead, then paused for a few seconds to gaze at her face before turning to leave.

At the entrance to the MS Group Building.

By chance, Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng arrived at the company at the same time. Even more coincidentally, they ran into Mo Xiuchen, a man who usually preferred to keep a low profile. Today, his handsome face was showing clear signs of happiness.

He voluntarily called out to Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng.

Together, the three entered the elevator. Luo Haofeng stared curiously at the smiling Mo Xiuchen, reaching out to touch his forehead. Mo Xiuchen frowned and dodged his hand, asking, “What are you doing?”

“I’m checking if you have a fever!”

Luo Haofeng’s serious comment made Qin Mu chuckle. He glanced at the glowing Mo Xiuchen and remarked casually, “No need to check. In the whole world, there’s only one person who can cheer up Xiuchen. Instead of guessing the answer, you might as well call Wen Ran directly and ask.”

“Really? Xiuchen, could it be that you’ve won over Wen Ran’s sympathy by shedding tears and running your nose, making her reluctant to leave, so she came back to you?”

Luo Haofeng feigned surprise as he looked at Mo Xiuchen, his heart genuinely joyful seeing his friend in high spirits.

Mo Xiuchen gave him a cold, sharp look and replied dismissively, “Don’t you think I’m like you, resorting to crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide? How is that manly? I have my own way of bringing Ranran back.”

Luo Haofeng scoffed lightly. At the elevator door, Mo Xiuchen lead the way with his proud demeanor, stepping out first. Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu exchanged glances and followed him towards his office.

They were genuinely curious about how Mo Xiuchen had managed to win back Wen Ran, who was so determined to leave.

“Why are you guys following me?”

Upon reaching the office door, Mo Xiuchen turned to look at the two friends trailing behind him. Qin Mu shot him a glance, extended his hand, and pushed open the office door. Taking the lead, he stepped into the office before Mo Xiuchen. Seeing this, Luo Haofeng steered Mo Xiuchen to the side, walked ahead of him into the office, and seated himself leisurely on the sofa, waiting for Mo Xiuchen.

Mo Xiuchen walked into his office and, without giving the two guys on his sofa a glance, strolled over to his desk with an air of sophistication.

Feeling ignored, Luo Haofeng glared at Mo Xiuchen’s back for a few seconds, then turned to look at Qin Mu.

Lounging on the couch, Qin Mu said leisurely, “Today really is a day for double happiness. Originally, I had thought…”
