Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

He had short hair, which he merely dried with a towel, skipping the hair dryer. He then immediately got on the bed, stretched his long arm, and pulled Wen Ran into his embrace.

The strong and masculine scent lingered in her nose, causing Wen Ran’s heart to skip a beat. He looked down at her, a faint smile dancing in his deep eyes, casually asking, “What did you and Bai Xiaoxiao talk about?”

“Your hair, aren’t you going to blow-dry it?”

Wen Ran returned his question with one of her own. Her bright eyes reflected his delicate and handsome features. He hooked up the corner of his mouth into a perfect curve, stating lazily, “No need, it will dry in a few minutes.”

The time it would take to blow-dry his hair, he preferred to use hugging her, talking with her. In the meantime, his hair would naturally dry.

Unconsciously, a flush spread across Wen Ran’s fair cheeks, whether due to the warm breath he expelled while talking, reaching her ear, or because of his captivatingly handsome smile, radiating irresistible sexiness.

The closer they got, the more her heart fluttered. It seemed that even a simple glance from him, a smile, or even the breath reaching her ear, could stir up her emotions.

Subconsciously, she lowered her eyelashes, her gaze landing on his slender fingers placed in front of her. His fingers were long and fair, distinctively jointed and quite alluring.

“Xiaoxiao just told me that she is with Xiao Yuting because his mother is sick and she went to visit her at the hospital, and Xiao Yuting asked her to dinner, it’s nothing more than that.”

“Really?”

Mo Xiuchen’s voice carried a slight laughter. He looked at her slightly lowered face, in his gaze, her ivory skin seemed to be cast with a layer of irresistible soft pink, softening a certain place within his heart.

“Hmm.”

Wen Ran raised her head again, looking steadfastly at Mo Xiuchen.

“Does Luo Haofeng still like Xiaoxiao?”

She asked, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly. Mo Xiuchen let out a soft laugh, seizing her tender boneless hand, speaking softly, “I guess so, but, Ah Feng is a proud person too, as Bai Xiaoxiao shows so clearly she does not wish to get entangled with him, he won’t disturb her anymore.”

Luo Haofeng’s feelings for Bai Xiaoxiao were just on the level of liking, not yet unforgettable deep love, it’s not as deep as his feelings for Ranran which are engraved in his bones. Even if Luo Haofeng was upset, he wouldn’t put down his pride for it.

Having thought up to here, he tilted his head down and planted a soft kiss on Wen Ran’s forehead, whispering, “It’s late, let’s go to sleep.”

“Alright!”

Wen Ran nodded, not saying anything further. She leaned on his arm, her body slid down, her neck cushioned by Mo Xiuchen’s arm, her delicate body held in his embrace. His large hand gently patted her body, “Be good, close your eyes.”

He noticed her slight stiffness but pretended not to.

Wen Ran pursed her lips, leaning her body towards him slightly, burying her face in his arm, finding a comfortable sleeping position, closing her eyes.

The room quieted down, warm and peaceful aura flowing in the air. With her beloved next to her, Wen Ran felt secure and drifted off to sleep before long.

But Mo Xiuchen quietly stared at her for a long while, then kissed her forehead lovingly again, got out of bed lifting the blanket, and headed toward the study.

Just now when he was taking a shower, he was running over the content of Wen Jin’s phone call in his mind, once he sat on the chair in the study, he hit the computer start button, dialed Uncle Qin’s number. Before the call could go through, the computer was ready.

He switched his phone to his left hand and grabbed the mouse with his right.

The call was answered, Uncle Qin’s voice, carrying a hint of tiredness, came over, “Hello, Xiuchen, what’s up?”

At this late hour, instead of sleeping with his wife, he was calling him, certainly something was up.

Mo Xiuchen’s hand moved across the keyboard, typing a few words. He said, “I just got a call from Wen Jin, saying that the person who has been in contact with Fu Jingyi is likely to be Qin Sen.”

“Qin Sen?”

Uncle Qin’s voice carried a hint of surprise. The following second, it became clear and somber, “Is there any evidence?”

Mo Xiuchen clicked on search, the screen quickly displayed the search results, his gaze scanned over swiftly, voice indifferently leaving his lips, “No concrete evidence for now, Lu Zhiyan is looking into him. However, I am a bit…worried.”

Hearing him finish, Uncle Qin muttered, “I understand. I will talk with my old man soon. Coincidentally, we were discussing some things over the phone a few days back.”

“Yes, that’s what I was thinking too. Qin Sen’s brother-in-law happens to be your sworn enemy, Uncle Qin. If there really is a problem with him…”

Mo Xiuchen didn’t continue with what he was saying.

Because he knew that once he said that much, Uncle Qin would be aware of the implications of the unfinished sentence.

“I will call my old man right after this.” After saying this, Uncle Qin asked, “Is there anything else you need me to do?”

Hooking his lips, Mo Xiuchen spoke in an indifferent tone, “Not for the moment. I am quite idling now, so I want to handle those things myself.”

“If there is anything you need me to do, just give me a call anytime.”

Even though he was preparing to leave for several days, no matter where he was, if his brother needed help, he’d be there immediately.

A wave of warmth melted Mo Xiuchen’s heart, considering their friendship, verbal thanks were unnecessary. He responded calmly, “You should rest for a few days too, maybe, after several days, I might need your help.”

While he was talking on the phone, his long eyes were fixed on the liquid crystal screen, scanning the information quickly, those were all well-known facts.

The corner of his thin lips curved up coldly. He wasn’t in the mood to sleep tonight anyway. In that case, he might as well practice some old skills, he hadn’t engaged in those activities for a while, wondering if he still had the knack for them.

**

At the Bai Family, on the second floor, in the bedroom bathed in dim warmth of the wall lamp-

After finishing her call with Wen Ran, Bai Xiaoxiao had been staring at the ceiling lost in thought.

In her mind reemerged the scene of her encounter with Luo Haofeng at the Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion tonight. Had she known that Luo Haofeng would be at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion with Uncle Qin and Gu Kai, she would never have suggested going there.

As soon as she and Xiao Yuting entered, she saw the three handsome men sitting by the window. Coincidentally, she met Luo Haofeng’s gaze.

Seeing her, a hint of surprise mixed with hidden joy flashed in Luo Haofeng’s narrow peach blossom eyes. However, when he saw Xiao Yuting standing next to her, his mood was instantly replaced by cold indifference.

So much so, she could hardly believe that he had been visibly pleased to see her. Did he really feel happy seeing her?

Since that time at the hospital when he walked out briskly, they basically had no interaction anymore. Even when they did have to talk on the phone because of Wen Ran, it was still polite and distant.
