Chapter 1869: Chapter 1868: It’s Time to Give Her a Chance
Wen Ran’s eyes filled with a trace of heartache.
Instinctively, she turned her body and gently embraced Mo Xiuchen.
Held by her slender arms, a fleeting emotion in Mo Xiuchen’s heart instantly vanished like smoke.
He only needed Ranran and their child; that was enough.
No one else and nothing else could sway him.
"Xiuchen, I’ll go on the business trip with you."
After a moment of silence, Wen Ran’s soft voice echoed, her slightly raised gaze tenderly meeting Mo Xiuchen’s eyes.
Mo Xiuchen felt warmth in his heart, and his hug tightened slightly, though not enough to hurt her. His low, gentle voice dropped into her ear, "Ranran, you’re the best person in the world to me."
"You’re my husband. If I’m not good to you, who else would I be good to?"
Wen Ran’s face was softly smiling.
However, at this moment, she very much disliked the person who brought Jiang Hui close to Xiuchen.
Seemingly knowing what she was thinking, Mo Xiuchen’s kiss landed on Wen Ran’s fair cheek, gently and calmly saying, "Ranran, Jiang Hui can’t affect me, don’t worry."
"I’m not worried."
Wen Ran nodded; she just disliked that person.
Although Jiang Hui’s appearance didn’t affect Xiuchen, Wen Ran knew that when Xiuchen faced Jiang Hui, his heart still had some emotional fluctuations.
That would remind him of some unhappy things.
"After I go on the business trip, stay home and rest for a few days."
Mo Xiuchen’s words made Wen Ran laugh lightly, "Your business trip doesn’t affect my work; a weekend’s rest is enough."
"Then let Qing Feng take you to work at that time. I’m not comfortable with you driving yourself."
Mo Xiuchen’s seemingly gentle words carried an undeniable authority.
As he finished speaking, the phone rang, and seeing the incoming call display, Mo Xiuchen frowned slightly.
"Ah Feng called you; he must have something to discuss. Pick up the call quickly."
Wen Ran said cheerfully, breaking away from his embrace, getting up to go to the bathroom.
"Ah Feng, what’s up?"
Mo Xiuchen watched Wen Ran leave the office, then pressed the answer button, returned to his desk, and lazily leaned back in the premium swivel chair.
"Xiuchen, my mom called; she said she met Meng Ke."
Over the phone, Luo Haofeng’s voice came through seriously, catching Mo Xiuchen off guard, "Really?"
"I’m not sure either. My mom told me like that, saying Meng Ke found her last weekend." Luo Haofeng was not only unsure but also a bit depressed.
Today is already Wednesday, and his mom met Meng Ke over the weekend; what’s the point of telling him now?
Even if they inform the police, Meng Ke has long fled.
He wouldn’t be on that island waiting to be captured.
"What did Meng Ke seek Aunt Wu for? Did he want her to help harm Xiaoxiao? What did Aunt Wu say?"
Mo Xiuchen pondered and asked. Since Meng Ke approached Wu Jingfang, he must have a motive.
He probably knew a lot about the grievances between the Luo Family and the Bai Family and must be aware Wu Jingfang didn’t like Bai Xiaoxiao.
Choosing her, it was definitely to sow discord.
"Meng Ke just happened to learn my parents were traveling there, so he sought her out. He somehow found out Xiaoxiao is pregnant. He wanted my mom to help him harm Xiaoxiao. He indeed hasn’t given up on Xiaoxiao..."
The more Luo Haofeng spoke, the angrier he became.
Meng Ke, that despicable little man, even tried to disrupt the bond between him and his mom.
"Aunt Wu has always disliked Xiaoxiao and could even be said to hate her; Meng Ke must know this."
Mo Xiuchen asked in confusion, "Aunt Wu didn’t tell you immediately; why is she telling you now?"
"She initially didn’t want me to know; today she told my dad. However, she said she didn’t agree to Meng Ke’s proposal."
Even if she had agreed, Wu Jingfang is not in the country now and couldn’t help Meng Ke much.
"Did you tell Tang Yang, or you could tell Lu Zhiyan?"
"Told Lu Zhiyan, but I don’t think it will help much," Luo Haofeng said depressingly.
They can’t catch Meng Ke now.
Hearing the gloom in his tone, Mo Xiuchen consoled, "Though we can’t catch Meng Ke, one thing we are more certain of is that Meng Ke is still after Xiaoxiao."
"Yeah, my only concern now is Xiaoxiao."
Luo Haofeng hesitated for a few seconds and then said, "I want to bring Xiaoxiao to City B to stay for a while; being apart, I can’t protect her."
"That would be good; anyway, you guys are about to have your wedding soon. Having her stay with you for a while is fine."
As long as Bai Xiaoxiao is willing to leave her job.
"Do you really think so?"
Mo Xiuchen chuckled, "Isn’t that what you think, and hope I support you?"
"I knew it; asking you is unreliable."
Luo Haofeng complained over the phone.
"If you want Xiaoxiao to come to City B for a while, quickly discuss it with her. I’m on a business trip to City B this weekend, so I can bring Xiaoxiao along, sparing you the trip back to fetch her."
"You’re coming to City B for a business trip? Then Ranran will definitely join you."
Luo Haofeng asked cheerfully.
Mo Xiuchen is now so clingy with Wen Ran that it’s almost outrageous.
Whether at work, on vacation, or on business trips, he insists on having Wen Ran by his side.
"Ranran isn’t going; this time, Jiang Hui is coming with me."
Mo Xiuchen responded coldly to Luo Haofeng’s untimely comments.
"Jiang Hui, the one who looks like..."
"Mm."
Luo Haofeng hadn’t finished before Mo Xiuchen interrupted, "Tang Yang suspects her godfather has issues; she’s been with Haochen long enough, it’s time to give her a chance."
As he spoke further, Mo Xiuchen’s tone grew colder.
Luo Haofeng understood what Mo Xiuchen meant by ’give her a chance.’
"Won’t Ranran mind you not taking her? Xiuchen, be careful Ranran might get jealous and ignore you."
Luo Haofeng stoked the fire over the phone.
Only to be met with Mo Xiuchen’s cold laugh, "You’re right in a sense; Tang Yang suspects Jiang Hui’s godfather has ties to me. Even if Jiang Hui indeed has ties to Meng Ke, as long as she doesn’t do something to make me despise her, I won’t need to care."
"Xiuchen, don’t be mad; I didn’t mean it that way."
Luo Haofeng realized he misspoke, provoking that guy.
He understood now that Mo Xiuchen has ignored Jiang Hui for so long and now suddenly gives her a chance, likely because he and Xiaoxiao’s wedding date is set.
Xiuchen is helping him.
How could he foolishly make fun of him?
"Then what do you mean, didn’t you say Ranran would get jealous and ignore me?" Mo Xiuchen asked coldly.
Luo Haofeng chuckled, "Xiuchen, I meant you should be careful of Jiang Hui; I think that woman is quite scheming. Actually, Ranran trusts you so much that as long as you don’t do anything substantial, she won’t be upset..."
Mo Xiuchen rolled his eyes, too lazy to listen to Luo Haofeng’s nonsense, and directly hung up the phone.
