Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

“Okay, I will have the weekend off. I will pick you up at the airport.”

Upon hearing Mo Xiuchen’s phrase ‘if everything goes as planned’, Gu Kai couldn’t suppress his unease, a slither of melancholy crossing his heart.

‘If everything goes as planned,’ referred to his hopes that all the hard work they put in over these days would pay off and Wen Ran’s condition would have improved.

After finishing the call with Gu Kai, Mo Xiuchen dialed Qin Mu.

The call was answered, but instead of Qin Mu’s voice, it was the sweet tone of an airport announcer. Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng were at the airport right now.

“Hello, Xiuchen!”

The gentle voice of Qin Mu came through the phone. There was no other background noise. If his guess was correct, they were likely in the VIP waiting room. Although Qin Mu wasn’t the type who enjoyed luxury, he preferred a quiet setting, often choosing to wait in the VIP room.

“So you’re at the airport. Is Ah Feng also heading back to A City with you?”

Mo Xiuchen stood up from the couch and paced to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the city lights intertwining with the stars in the distance. His expression was surprisingly tranquil.

“Yes, we are at the airport, getting ready to board. Xiuchen, it sounds like you’ve found some clues. Is that why you asked An Lin to buy some wine, and why Ah Feng went to the beauty salon?”

An Lin is in fact, Qin Mu’s childhood friend and ‘sister.’ When they first set up ‘Hao Chen’, she was working abroad and had studied business management. In situations where Qin Mu, Luo Haofeng, and Mo Xiuchen couldn’t step in, they let An Lin act as the legal representative of ‘Hao Chen’.

Since then, An Lin has returned to the country and has been managing ‘Hao Chen.’ During this period, in order to hide their connection with ‘Hao Chen’ from Mo Jingteng and Xiao Wenqing, An Lin rarely had any contact with them and only submitted regular financial statements to him.

Mo Xiuchen gave a cool smile, his voice low and calm: “Yes, there are a few clues. The commonality between the winery and the beauty salon is related to medicinal herbs, which Fu Jingyi is particularly good at…”

He quickly summarized his findings for Qin Mu. There was a two-second silence at the other end of the call before Qin Mu calmly said, “Xiuchen, leave the rest to me. You should focus on being with Wen Ran.”

At this time, he believed Mo Xiuchen should devote his energy to being with Wen Ran. Anything else that they, as his brothers, could do, should not have to take up his time.

Mo Xiuchen felt warmth in his heart, and without a hint of modesty said, “Alright, Wen Ran and I may return to G City in a few days.”

“When?”

Qin Mu was taken aback and asked in surprise.

“I’m not sure yet. We’ll decide the specific date after Wen Ran’s check-up results come out tomorrow. Since you’re going back, there’s no need to rush back. Spend more time with your aunt and uncle, and wish your aunt a happy birthday for me…”

Mo Xiuchen had met Qin Mu’s parents and was admittedly envious of him and Luo Haofeng for having such a warm family. Among the four of them, Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng were the luckiest. Although Gu Kai had a good relationship with his father, he had lost his mother at an early age.

Always thinking about and searching for his missing sister, he was not as lucky as the other two. Nevertheless, he was somewhat luckier than him.

“Alright!”

Qin Mu agreed enthusiastically. After chatting a bit more with Mo Xiuchen, he ended the call.

Just as he hung up, Luo Haofeng pushed the door and walked in. His demonic face was shrouded in gloom. Qin Mu frowned slightly, asking curiously, “Ah Feng, who upset you?”

Luo Haofeng’s long, peach blossom eyes swept over the phone in his hand and responded in a stiff, unrelated answer, “Let’s go, it’s time to board.”

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, pocketed his phone, and left the lounge. As he was leaving, he turned to look at him, “You look like you’ve been dumped. Didn’t some beauty reject your advances, did they?”

“Tss, do I need to make advances on someone? People always come to me.”

Luo Haofeng shot him a glance, the gloom on his face gradually dissipating.

Qin Mu laughed, seeing that he did not want to explain further, he decided against asking.

Once they got on the plane, he noticed that Bai Xiaoxiao was on the same flight, and everything clicked. He turned to look at Luo Haofeng, who not only regained his normal expression but was also flirting with a blonde.

Luo Haofeng seemed oblivious to his gaze, praising how pretty the blonde was. Coincidentally, they were seated just behind the blonde, with Bai Xiaoxiao in the row in front of them.

If Bai Xiaoxiao had been alone, Luo Haofeng might not have reacted as he did earlier. Sitting beside her was Xiao Yuting, her self-appointed protector, whom they had bumped into at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion on their previous visit.

“Bai Xiaoxiao, what a coincidence. Are you going on vacation?”

Qin Mu smiled cordially at Bai Xiaoxiao. Surprise flickered in her eyes, but she quickly recovered and flashed him a polite smile, “Yes, quite a coincidence indeed. I’m going on a business trip. What about you?”

She referred to ‘you’ alone, dismissing the presence of the handsome man next to him by a mere word.

“Business trip? Have you started working again?”

Qin Mu’s gaze swept over her legs and then towards Xiao Yuting, who was seated next to her, his gentle gaze fixed on her.

Xiao Yuting’s gaze on Bai Xiaoxiao wasn’t as profoundly deep as Mo Xiuchen’s gaze on Wen Ran, but it was full of deep affection. Anyone could see that he had deep feelings for Bai Xiaoxiao.

“President Qin, are you also on a business trip?”

He intervened, subtly putting his arm on the back of Bai Xiaoxiao’s chair, tilting his body slightly as if trying to subtly bring her into his protective circle.

The moment Xiao Yuting’s hand touched the back of her chair, Bai Xiaoxiao stiffened, her smile faltering.

She discreetly sat upright against her chair. Qin Mu noticed her subtle change of expression, and gently said, “Mr. Xiao, could I borrow your seat temporarily? I need to speak to Bai Xiaoxiao about Wen Ran.”

Upon hearing Wen Ran’s name, concern immediately showed on Bai Xiaoxiao’s face. She turned to Xiao Yuting and said, “You swap seats with Qin Mu.”

Xiao Yuting had a suspicious look in his eye. He was inclined to think that Qin Mu was just looking for an excuse, but since Xiaoxiao said so, he could only agree and take the seat behind.

Throughout all this, Luo Haofeng didn’t look at Bai Xiaoxiao even once. When Xiao Yuting sat next to him, he didn’t even glance at him, instead energetically chatting with the blonde beauty.
