Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Luo Haofeng was scrutinizing Mo Xiuchen, intending to ask a few more questions. But hearing this, his eyes flashed slightly, he immediately stood up with a smile, “Alright, we’ll talk next time. Mo Xiuchen, don’t forget what you promised me.”

Upon leaving the room, Luo Haofeng followed Mo Xiuchen to Bai Xiaoxiao’s room.

Mo Xiuchen knocked on the door. Moments later, the door swung open from the inside. Bai Xiaoxiao stood inside the doorway. Seeing Luo Haofeng also following Mo Xiuchen, her heartbeat missed a beat uncontrollably. She said softly, “Mo Xiuchen, Wen Ran is asleep. Let her spend the night here.”

“No need, I’ll carry her home.”

Mo Xiuchen’s gaze shot Luo Haofeng a brief glance before he walked into the room. His eyes landed on Wen Ran, sleeping on the couch, a hint of tenderness surfaced in his eyes as he walked towards her.

“Xiaoxiao!”

Luo Haofeng stood upright in the doorway, with a playful smile on his face, watching Bai Xiaoxiao intently.

Without uttering a word, the glint in his eyes, with three parts warmth, two parts ambiguity, and a hint of humor, sufficed to throw Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart into disarray. She wondered if all women, upon facing the man they fancy, would also experience a rapid heartbeat.

But she just could not keep calm. Luo Haofeng’s enchanting romantic eyes seemed to hold some kind of magical power, enrapturing her.

As he moved a step closer, a masculine scent mixed with the smell of alcohol immediately invaded her nostrils, following her breath down into her lungs and flooding every cell of her body at breakneck speed. Unconsciously, her face flushed crimson.

Inside the room, the silhouette of Mo Xiuchen towered over the couch. His gaze fixed on Wen Ran, who was sleeping askew on the couch. Her beautifully shaped brows and eyes, her fair cheeks, and her serene countenance carried an unsullied beauty just like a newborn baby.

At the corner of his mouth, a gentle smile unconsciously formed.

After watching her for a while, he bent over, his well-defined hand reached toward her face, gently swept away a stray lock of her hair, his arm slid behind her neck and his other hand slid beneath her legs, carefully lifting her out of the couch.

Exhausted, Wen Ran had fallen into a deep sleep. When lifted up by him, she did not awaken. In her dreams, she seemed to sense that she was being held in a familiarly warm embrace. She nuzzled her little face against his chest, finding a comfortable sleeping position, and continued her sweet dream.

This slight movement from Wen Ran caused Mo Xiuchen to shudder inwardly. Unable to help himself, he lowered his head and pressed a light kiss on her forehead, before turning around and heading towards the doorway, with her cradled in his arms.

Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng stood at the doorway, the air between them somewhat delicate. Mo Xiuchen said indifferently, “I’m taking Wen Ran to the room.” and then left.

“I’m going to bed too.”

Bai Xiaoxiao came back to her senses, a hint of panic flickered in her eyes. She moved to close the door.

“Xiaoxiao!”

Luo Haofeng stood at the doorway, aware that she wanted him to leave, yet he was unwilling to depart.

“If there’s nothing else, we can talk about it tomorrow. It’s very late now, you should go back to the hotel and rest too,” Bai Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and moved to close the door again.

“Xiaoxiao, I’m feeling a bit dizzy, tonight, could I stay here? Don’t worry, I’ll just sleep on the couch, I promise I won’t make any moves on you.”

As Luo Haofeng spoke, he placed his hand on his forehead. His handsome brows knitted together slightly in apparent discomfort.

Bai Xiaoxiao seemed slightly surprised by his words, but soon said, “If you don’t want to go back to the hotel, I can arrange another room for you.”

She moved toward the couch to retrieve her purse, intending to arrange another room for him. However, as she passed by Luo Haofeng, he caught her wrist. The abrupt force caused Bai Xiaoxiao to halt. Looking up, she met Luo Haofeng’s eyes that held a bitter smile. She listened as he said in a low voice,

“Xiaoxiao, do you really not trust me?”

His voice held a trace of bitterness and self-mockery.

In the past, he never thought there was anything wrong with his past relationships. Yet, in the face of Xiaoxiao, he deeply regretted those few relationships and regretted the playboy reputation that the outside world had given him.

Bai Xiaoxiao paused, looking into his somewhat gloomy eyes. Her heart ached subtly. She lowered her gaze and thought for a moment, then said lightly, “It’s not that I don’t trust you. You can come in.”

Luo Haofeng’s heart lept in joy. An enchanting smile spread across his handsome face. The usually flirtatious and charming playboy, at this moment, seemed as pure as a big boy. He reassured her, “Xiaoxiao, rest assured, I keep my word.”

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, “Hmm.”

**

Mo Xiuchen carried Wen Ran back to their room. After putting her onto the bed, he turned around and went into the bathroom to fill the tub.

Just as he approached the bathroom doorway, his phone rang. The noise sounded particularly loud in the otherwise quiet room. He immediately turned to look at Wen Ran lying on the bed. Seeing that her peaceful sleeping face remained undisturbed, he swiftly answered the call, “Hello, Ah Kai.”

“Mo Xiuchen, my dad said you and Wen Ran came back. Why aren’t you in G City? Where did you go?”

Over the phone, concern was evident in Gu Kai’s voice.

A smile spread on Mo Xiuchen’s lips. His voice was mild and calm, “Today’s Aunt Qin’s birthday. Wen Ran and I came to A City to celebrate her birthday. Coincidentally, Bai Xiaoxiao was also here for a business trip. Ran Ran agreed to stay here for a few days and wait for her to return together, you don’t need to worry.”

“You went to A City?”

Gu Kai asked in surprise.

“Yes, we arrived in the morning. Coincidentally, we ran into Bai Xiaoxiao and Ah Feng at the hotel. Ran Ran hadn’t slept all day, and she fell asleep as soon as we got back.”

Mo Xiuchen explained briefly, his gaze falling on the large bed nearby. The soft, warm orange light illuminated Wen Ran’s fair, jade-like cheeks, casting a faint halo. It was unspeakably lovely, moving the heart.

“Mo Xiuchen, I know everything about you and Wen Ran.”

There was a moment of silence over the phone. When Gu Kai’s voice sounded again, it contained traces of complex and suppressed emotions.

Mo Xiuchen’s smile froze. His gaze rested on Wen Ran’s fair face. Just being able to quietly watch her brought him immense happiness and satisfaction.

In this lifetime, being able to meet Wen Ran, understand her, and love her, was a great blessing from heaven. He had once thought that they could have a lifetime of togetherness. He had even planned to make her never feel lonely or bored in the long decades ahead.

However, the gods of fate were not willing to give them the opportunity for a lifetime together.

He heard himself speak in a very light tone, devoid of any emotion, “Really? Ran Ran is fine now. She just needs to recuperate for a little longer, and she’ll make a full recovery. After that, it won’t affect her ability to bear children.”
