Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 734: 733 Such a childish ringtone

The anger that Cheng Jia displayed was utterly inexplicable.

She had stolen someone else’s husband, even forcing Wen Ran to swear on her loved ones.

In the end, she still couldn’t capture Mo Xiuchen’s heart. One could argue that she deserved it.

She had confidently stated back in the day that as long as Wen Ran wasn’t in Mo Xiuchen’s world, he would undoubtedly fall in love with her.

She would love Mo Xiuchen more than Wen Ran did, and that Mo Xiuchen would be even happier with her.

…

In his study, Mo Xiuchen had already prepared today’s material.

He stretched his arm a bit before grabbing a cup of water to take a drink, then, he took out his phone.

Eerily, he stumbled upon the messages he received that day. His sexy lips were unconsciously tugged upward.

His eyes lingered on the words ‘good night.’

Surprisingly, he felt like making contact with the woman who had that soft voice.

If he felt like doing something, he’d do it.

Indeed, he composed yet another message and sent it out.

It was currently night in his region, he wondered if she would reply to him with another ‘goodnight’ message.

If she did reply to him in such a manner, it would be fun.

“Xiuchen.”

As soon as he sent his message, Cheng Jia’s voice was heard outside the study.

Mo Xiuchen’s brow slightly crinkled. He put away his phone and looked at Cheng Jia who had just pushed open the door, “What’s up?”

“I came to see if there is anything I could help you with, Xiuchen. Have you prepared everything?”

Cheng Jia had a warm smile on her face. In front of Mo Xiuchen, she always seemed tender.

“Go home and rest, I have to leave soon.”

Mo Xiuchen’s words were delivered in a cold voice.

Today’s signing was important, but whether Cheng Jia was there or not had no effect on him. As he spoke, he picked up his briefcase and rose from his seat.

G City

In the private room on the third floor of the Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, the chandelier cast a warm glow on a group of handsome men and beautiful women.

They were all laughing brilliantly at a joke cracked by Gu Kai.

Amidst this cheery atmosphere, a sound suddenly rang, “Master, that guy sent you another message again.”

This voice resonated just when everyone had stopped talking.

The voice wasn’t loud, but everyone on the table heard it and looked at Wen Ran.

Sitting next to Wen Ran, Bai Xiaoxiao laughed and said, “Ranran, when did you set such a childish ringtone. I swear I’m not going to text you again.”

After Xiaoxiao spoke, Shen Yuting laughed out loud, “That guy, haha, Ranran, who sent you the message?”

The others also found her ringtone amusing.

Only Wen Ran, her heartbeat missed a beat when she heard that voice, a blend of three parts childish and two parts humor.

Her expression also subtly changed.

However, unless you were extremely observant, you wouldn’t have noticed her subtle emotional changes.

Qin Mu sat right across her and managed to catch a glimpse of her subtle expression change.

He even noticed that her hand holding the cup was trembling slightly.

Qin Mu’s eyes flickered. In a calm and composed voice, he said, “This ringtone isn’t that bad. I find it quite good.”

Upon hearing his words, Wen Ran instantly looked up at him.

Qin Mu stood his ground and calmly met Wen Ran’s gaze.

Wen Ran gave him a glance, then suddenly put down her cup and stood up.

She gently said, “I’m going to the bathroom,” as she pulled out her chair and turned to leave.

“Hey, Ranran, I’ll go with you.”

Bai Xiaoxiao called out after Wen Ran as soon as she saw her leaving.

“No need.”

Before Xiaoxiao got up, Wen Ran’s rejective response already reached her.

After bidding them farewell, she quickened her pace and left the private room. The people remaining in the room all looked at the door, their faces filled with strange expressions.

Gu Kai narrowed his eyes and retracted his gaze.

Wen Jin looked at the direction where Wen Ran had disappeared, deep in thought.

Qin Mu slightly tightened his grip on his chopsticks and lowered his gaze, concealing the loneliness in his eyes that seemed to have passed in a flash.

Shen Yuting and Bai Xiaoxiao were still confused, unable to understand why Wen Ran had left so hastily.

As far as they were concerned, if she was going to the bathroom, she should have called for them.

Only Jiang Liu didn’t find Wen Ran’s departure peculiar like the others did.

He had been peeling shrimp for Shen Yuting the entire time, placing the peeled shrimp on the plate in front of her, while saying with a smile: “Yuting, eat it.”

Wen Ran’s heartbeat was completely uncontrollable.

Thumping violently.

She went into the bathroom before taking out her phone.

She had specifically set this ringtone after sending the text message that night. It was different from the other message tones.

Therefore, as soon as she heard the ringtone, her heart began to pound with intensity.

It has been several days since she received a message.

She thought he would no longer send her any messages, but to her surprise, the long-awaited sound rang out that night.

Trying to maintain her composure, she quickly unlocked her screen to read the message.

“It’s morning here now, what time is it there?”

Wen Ran lightly pursed her lips, her eyes warmly looking at the content of the message.

Tonight’s message wasn’t just two meaningless ‘hello’ words like the other day, but rather like having a conversation with an old friend.

No address, no politeness.

Just a simple, random sentence, which once again stirred up Wen Ran’s emotions.

She knew it was morning over there, which was completely opposite to G City.

It was night here. He was so intelligent that he should have already known this from her ‘good night’ message.

Wen Ran’s chaotic heartbeat slowly calmed down.

A gentle smile appeared on her lips; this single message was enough to soothe her yearning over all these days.

She hesitated for a moment, then wrote on the screen with her index finger, “I am eating dinner. I wish you a fantastic day.”

After writing, she checked the sentence again to ensure that she hadn’t revealed any suspicious information before hitting the send button.

Once the message was sent out, she smiled with satisfaction, put her phone away, and then went into the booth.

Until Wen Ran exited the bathroom, Mo Xiuchen hadn’t responded to her message.

But she didn’t mind. She knows he is busy right now. It’s not a weekend, so he must have many things that he can’t afford to be distracted from.

All she hoped was that he wouldn’t work too hard or become ill.

As long as he is healthy and in high spirits, she would be at ease.

Bai Xiaoxiao was waiting outside in the hallway of the bathroom.

Seeing Wen Ran coming out, she immediately went over to meet her, “Ranran, why did you take so long? I’ve been waiting for a while.”

Wen Ran’s eyes flashed slightly, and she asked with a laugh, “Why aren’t you going in? What are you standing out here for?”

“I was worried about you, so I came to take a look.”

Bai Xiaoxiao admitted frankly. She looked at her with probing eyes as though she wanted to see something from her face. Wen Ran took her arm and asked, “Do I have flowers on my face?”

“No, it’s just that your eyes are filled with gentleness right now. Your good mood has piqued my curiosity.”

Her intuition told her that Wen Ran’s sudden departure earlier was because of that message.

Wen Ran shot her a glance, grabbed her hand, and started walking while saying, “Curiosity killed the cat, Xiaoxiao. It’s better you remain just a little bit curious.”
