Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Watching the frown on Gu Yan’s face, Wen Ran gently placed her small hand on his substantial palm and whispered, “Dad, things will certainly be clarified, don’t worry.”

Gu Yan hesitated slightly. His emotions gradually subsided under the care and warmth in his daughter’s eyes. He changed the subject and asked, “Ranran, I am going overseas next week. Do you want to come with me?”

“Ah, going overseas?”

Wen Ran blinked her eyes in surprise.

Meanwhile, Mo Xiuchen slightly furrowed his eyebrows. Before Wen Ran could answer, he said, “Dad, you’re going on a business trip, it would be so boring for Ranran to go with you.”

Gu Yan glanced at him, then looked back at Wen Ran sitting beside him. His tone softened, “Ranran, I want to take you for a medical exam. I’ve asked a few internationally renowned experts to lend a hand. If you come with me, it would be better.”

“Dad, when next week?”

Mo Xiuchen, who was driving upfront, asked again.

His eyes were deep as he watched the two people in the rearview mirror. He was not comfortable with Wen Ran going overseas with Gu Yan; perhaps he was afraid she might not come back.

Noticing his anxiety, Wen Ran felt a pang in her heart, but agreed anyway, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

“Ranran!”

Mo Xiuchen suddenly called her name.

Wen Ran’s heart throbbed, she looked up, and saw Mo Xiuchen who had turned to look at her, managed a faint smile, “Xiuchen, I have to cooperate with the treatment positively to recover sooner, right?”

Her words seemed indifferent, as though she already faced her situation very calmly.

However, it made Mo Xiuchen’s heartache. He pressed his thin lips together, didn’t stop her from leaving with Gu Yan anymore but instead said, “Alright, I will accompany you then.”

“You don’t have to; I’ll be okay with my dad.”

Wen Ran instinctively refused. She didn’t want Mo Xiuchen to follow her on this trip. Indeed, she was hoping to leave him during this overseas trip.

It seemed like Mo Xiuchen understood her intentions. His eyes showed a glimpse of pain. He turned his head away and remained silent.

The atmosphere inside the car suddenly became somewhat stagnant. Gu Yan glanced at the silent Mo Xiuchen, then at Wen Ran who was biting her lip, shadows of sorrow flashing in her eyes. Softly, Gu Yan broke the weird atmosphere, “Xiuchen, don’t worry. I will surely bring Ranran back intact, not even a single hair will be missing.”

“Mmm!”

After a long silence, Mo Xiuchen responded faintly.

His heart felt heavy because of Wen Ran’s decision. Seeing Wen Ran’s sorrowful eyes, his heart felt like it was tightly squeezed, causing severe pain.

After they brought Gu Yan back to the hospital, they ran into Gu Kai who was leaving the hospital. He just finished surgery and was about to head to the police station.

When Gu Kai saw them returning, he immediately asked about the situation. Upon hearing about Wu Tianyi’s sudden death, he looked shocked, “Dad, how did Wu Tianyi suddenly die? What was the cause?”

“The cause of death is still under investigation. Let the professionals handle it. We just need to wait for the result.” Gu Yan replied matter-of-factly, without further explanation.

“Dad, if there’s nothing else, Ranran and I will go home first.”

Mo Xiuchen, in the driver’s seat, didn’t get out of the car but sat inside and watched the people outside with a handsome look on his face.

“Xiuchen, what’s the hurry to get home? I haven’t seen Ranran for a few days. Let’s all have dinner together later.” Gu Kai teasingly looked at Mo Xiuchen.

He felt that Mo Xiuchen was somewhat off, as if he was angry about something.

Turning his head to Wen Ran, he posed a silent inquiry. Gu Yan chuckled and explained, “It seems Xiuchen is upset with me.”

“What is he upset about?”

Gu Kai asked, puzzled.

In the car, Mo Xiuchen’s thin lips tightened. His eyes deep as the ocean, he quietly watched the three people outside the car without uttering a word.

“I’ve invited Ranran to go overseas with me next week. Xiuchen, if you’re worried, you can come with us.” Gu Yan turned to Mo Xiuchen and shared his thought with him, aware of what he was worried about.

Gu Kai blinked, opened the driver’s door, and said to Mo Xiuchen, “I thought it was something serious; it’s just this small matter! Just go with them, won’t that solve it?”

Mo Xiuchen didn’t answer; instead, he looked at Wen Ran.

Being sharp-witted, Gu Kai immediately understood after seeing his gaze on Wen Ran; she must have stopped him from going.

“Ranran?”

He called out gently, indicating Wen Ran should agree.

Although Wen Ran had been spending time with Mo Xiuchen these days and they seemed as loving and sweet as before, both of them knew in their hearts that things were different from before.

Mo Xiuchen’s cautious attitude towards her, and her inner struggles against Mo Xiuchen had tainted their emotions.

That lost the serenity and tranquility of their original happiness, like a calm sea surface that can set off a huge wave at any time.

Looking into Mo Xiuchen’s expectant eyes, she felt a twinge in her heart. If it were before, he would have definitely made a decision domineeringly.

But now, he had some reservations.

All of this was because he loved her too deeply, which led to unease and fear. He was afraid that pressing her too hard might push her to run away.

She pressed her lips together, suppressing her sadness. Taking a step forward, she reached out her hand to him and spoke softly, “Xiuchen, if you don’t have any other important things, have dinner with my dad and brother.”

A hint of dimness passed across Mo Xiuchen’s eyes.

Lowering his gaze to her fair hand for a moment, and then raising his head again, he immediately swept away the turbulent emotions in his eyes. A soft smile emerged on his handsome face, “Alright!”

“Ah Kai, give Ah Jin a call and invite him as well.”

Seeing that Mo Xiuchen got out of the car, Gu Yan also instructed Gu Kai with a smile.

“No problem, I’ll give him a call now.”

Happily replied Gu Kai. Mo Xiuchen, now out of the car, didn’t release Wen Ran’s hand. Instead, he held it tightly, his gaze following her movements closely.

Wen Jin had received a phone call when they left the police station earlier. There was a problem at the pharmaceutical factory, and he rushed back to deal with it.

Upon receiving Gu Kai’s call, he agreed without hesitation and asked for the address. Gu Kai hung up the phone gleefully, “I’ve already told Ah Jin. He will go straight to the hotel. Dad, don’t take Xiuchen’s car any longer. Ride in mine.”

He then told Mo Xiuchen the name of the hotel, turned around, and walked towards his own car.

Gu Yan looked at Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran, gave them a gentle smile, and also turned to follow Gu Kai.

Watching them get into the car, Mo Xiuchen didn’t allow Wen Ran to get in. Instead, he lovingly looked at her and quietly asked, “Ranran, can I go abroad with you?”
