Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Why would he still let Mo Xiuchen come and deal with us? Isn’t his goal to retaliate against Mo Xiuchen?”

Subconsciously, Wen Ran felt that Mo Xiuchen would recall the past sooner or later.

If Mo Jingteng let Mo Xiuchen purchase Haochen, and let him fight against them, once he remembered everything, he would feel guilty and remorseful. He would be upset.

Seeing Wen Ran getting somewhat emotional, Qin Mu softened his tone, saying comfortingly, “This is just my guess, Mo Jingteng might not do that. You don’t have to feel upset. Besides, even if Mo Xiuchen comes back, I will not let him purchase Haochen.”

Mo Jingteng should know that Haochen isn’t something he can easily purchase.

His guess that Mo Jingteng would let Mo Xiuchen come and purchase Haochen was based on this principle.

He thought that Mo Jingteng would make use of the relationship between Mo Xiuchen and them, with him as the intermediary, they wouldn’t resist.

“But you can’t be discharged yet, Qin Mu. How about you get out a few days later, I’ll go to Haochen to work first and update you on any news over the phone.”

Thinking about his physical condition, Wen Ran immediately became serious again.

Qin Mu slightly smiled, speaking calmly, “I’m fine, Mo Xiuchen started working less than a month after his surgery, while I’ve been resting for more than two months.”

As this was brought up, Wen Ran wanted to persuade him further, but the words got stuck in her throat.

As Qin Mu wished, he was discharged from the hospital.

Because the next day was Sunday and Ah Kai had a day off, he asked Qin Mu to stay at the Gu Family’s residence for two nights, and then head to City C on Monday.

It had been a long time since anyone had lived in the house Qin Mu previously stayed at, so no one had been cleaning it regularly after he left.

Considering he had to go to City C the following week, he decided it was too troublesome to clean it just for a stay of two nights, so he moved into the Gu Family’s home instead.

The air was fresh on the clear night after the rain, filled with a faint scent of flowers. Drinking tea and playing chess on the wicker chair in the courtyard was indeed a pleasant time.

However, it was not so pleasant when this leisurely time was interrupted by someone’s phone call.

When Zhou Lin’s call came, Ah Kai and Qin Mu were in the middle of a fierce chess battle.

Wen Ran was on the side, eating seeds and drinking tea, appreciating the battle between these two chess experts.

Since it was an unknown number, Wen Ran didn’t know it was Zhou Lin calling at first.

When she picked up and heard Zhou Lin’s voice, she couldn’t help but frown.

Ah Kai and Qin Mu continued their battle, but out of the corner of their eyes, they both observed Wen Ran. Seeing her frown, Qin Mu’s eyes narrowed.

Ah Kai simply stopped and took a sip of the tea nearby, watching Wen Ran.

“If you have something to say, say it over the phone,” Wen Ran’s voice had a cool edge, indicating that the person on the other end was not someone she was fond of.

She would never use this tone towards her friends or family.

Qin Mu and Ah Kai exchanged a glance, each guessing who was on the phone with Wen Ran.

They soon found out who was on the other end.

“Mo Zixuan is an adult, he should pay for his own mistakes. As for how the law will judge him, that’s not something I have any control over or can help with. Instead of coming to me, you’d do better to hire a good lawyer for him.”

Wen Ran’s rejection was clear.

However, Zhou Lin on the other end of the phone was still begging, hoping against hope, “Ranran, I know that Zixuan almost killed you, and he deeply regrets it. For the sake of me and our child, can you please forgive him this once? Ranran, as long as you don’t let Zixuan go to jail, I’ll do anything you ask.”

Wen Ran rubbed her temples, feeling a headache.

Just as she was about to speak, the cry of a baby came through the phone, followed by Zhou Lin’s voice, even more wretched and pathetic than before. “Ranran, I know I’m asking you to do the impossible, but I love Zixuan, just like how you love Mo Xiuchen, wouldn’t you do the same for him? Zixuan knows his mistake now. Ranran, I don’t want our daughter to grow up without a father, nor do I want her to feel inferior because her father is in jail…”

“Ranran, give me the phone.”

Ah Kai suddenly spoke up next to her.

Wen Ran was slightly stunned and turned to look at him. At this moment, he reached over.

He snatched her phone away and spoke with a stern and austere voice, “Zhou Lin, if you want to save Mo Zixuan, that’s your business. Don’t use this to pressure Ranran.

And don’t take advantage of her kindness. If you continue to harass Ranran with phone calls, I guarantee that Mo Zixuan’s sentence will only become longer.”

After saying that, he promptly hung up the phone.

Ignoring the baby’s cries and Zhou Lin’s explanation on the other end of the phone, he handed the phone back to Wen Ran after he finished blacklisting the number.

The fierce temperament from just now quickly faded, replaced by a gentle and worried expression, “Ranran, I’ve blocked this number. No matter how she begs you, you must ignore her.”

Wen Ran blinked and suddenly started to laugh.

Ah Kai was puzzled by her laughter and asked perplexedly, “Ranran, what are you laughing at?”

Wen Ran held her lips, her face clearly alight with amusement, “Bro, you change faces faster than the weather does. You were terrifying just now, and now you’re all gentle and elegant again.”

Ah Kai frowned, pretending to be upset, “I only did it for your sake, because I don’t want you to be bullied. And you dare to mock me!”

“Ah Kai, you misunderstood Wen Ran. She’s not mocking you, she’s complimenting you, right Wen Ran?”

Qin Mu spoke, a faint smile playing around his lips, his gaze resting on Wen Ran with warmth.

Wen Ran smiled and nodded, “Yes, Qin Mu is right. Bro, I was really complimenting you, you’re even better than those who change their faces all the time.”

“You dare to say that again!”

Ah Kai stretched out his hand to flick her forehead.
