Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 764: 763 Street Encounter

After nearly twenty hours of flight, Wen Ran and Gu Kai finally arrived in D Country.

The hotel they booked was the one where Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen had stayed before.

Although it wasn’t the same room, it was on the same floor.

“Ranran, I’ll call Ah Mu first, you should stay in tonight and get some rest early.”

After reminding Wen Ran, Gu Kai entered the room across from theirs.

Wen Ran returned to her room, took a shower, and far from feeling tired, she felt energetic.

Just the thought of her being in the same city as Mo Xiuchen now.

Breathing the air lightly fragranced with bird-of-paradise flowers, her heart softened.

Dressed in her nightgown, she stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out the glass window at the scene outside.

It was the time when the lights were just beginning to come on, the city, dimly lit, was illuminated by the neon lights, and in her sight, there was an illusion of dreaminess.

Although Mo Xiuchen changed hospitals at the beginning, he was still in this city.

Likewise, when he was discharged later, he did not leave this city.

Only occasionally was he away on a business trip for one or two days, before returning.

Although they knew Mo Xiuchen had not left the city, they were unsure about the location of his apartment.

Wen Ran came to D Country simply because she missed him too much.

And also because of the message he sent the day before yesterday, she couldn’t control her heart and impulsively ran over.

She took a shower but didn’t dry her hair, now and then, a droplet of water would collect and fall from the tips of her hair onto her nightgown.

She paid it no mind, merely gazing out at the world beyond the window.

About ten minutes later, she turned around and returned to her bed, opened her suitcase and took out a white dress to change into, then left the hotel with damp hair and wandered down the streets under the early lights.

This street beneath her feet was the very one she and Mo Xiuchen had walked down a few months ago, when she was undergoing a turbulent emotional state due to her illness.

No matter where they went, he would always hold her hand.

Under the scrutiny of the public, the gaze in his eyes towards her was always filled with warmth and deep affection, and wherever they walked on the street, it was inevitable that they would attract a lot of second glances.

Now she was walking alone on the street where the two of them had once treaded.

Her emotional state was just as complex, as she wandered forward she simultaneously reminisced about the scenes of her and Mo Xiuchen walking these foreign streets time and again.

Those days, Mo Xiuchen accompanied her and they had wandered all the nearby streets.

Unknowingly, she walked up to a bridal shop and looking at the beautiful wedding dresses in the window, she remembered her spoken wish to Mo Xiuchen, to have wedding photos taken.

Seeing her stop in front of the store, an assistant approached her and asked if she wanted to come in and look around, Wen Ran shook her head and continued to walk on.

After crossing a street, Wen Ran crossed the road and came to the jewelry store where Mo Xiuchen had bought her a bracelet.

The store assistant warmly welcomed her inside and eagerly asked what she needed.

Wen Ran viewed all the bracelets in the counter, then looked down at the bracelet on her own wrist and felt a bitter taste of times and people changing.

“Thank you, I don’t need anything at the moment.”

She declined the assistant’s suggestion, turned around, and left.

Meanwhile.

A black Bentley drove by on the road.

From the back seat, behind the partially lowered window, Mo Xiuchen put down the document in his hand and lightly rubbed his brow.

At a casual glance, he saw a woman walking out of a jewelry store a few meters away, and a sense of familiarity arose from deep within his heart.

“Stop the car.”

Mo Xiuchen spoke, and Secretary Wu who was sitting next to him turned in astonishment.

Seeing him looking out of the car window, she followed his gaze and her eyes widened in shock as they landed on the young woman illuminated by the bright crystal light outside the jewelry store.

Wasn’t that Wen Ran?

Although she hadn’t been in MS Group for long, she was all too familiar with Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran.

For a while, their story was the talk of G City.

More than just talk, their love story moved many, and as a normal woman, she naturally was touched by their story as well.

“Mr. President, is something the matter?”

Secretary Wu’s voice, hiding a tremor of shock, respectfully asked.

Outside the jewelry shop, Wen Ran had not left.

Instead, she stood a few steps away from the shop, her gaze fixed on the bracelet on her wrist.

Although her eyes didn’t reveal her emotions, she pursed her lips and was shrouded in an aura of sadness.

Even the bright crystal chandeliers could not dispel the melancholy in her heart.

The driver pulled over and stopped the car, but Mo Xiuchen did not get out of the car.

Instead, he intently watched the woman a few meters away.

Following her gaze, he looked at the bracelet on her wrist.

The distance was a bit far, so he couldn’t see her bracelet clearly.

However, he felt a tightening in his heart caused by the melancholy emanating from her, this feeling was strange.

He recognized her, she was the woman from the coffee shop in G City who was looking at her phone when he was rushing to the airport.

That subtle sadness highlighted her gentle temperament, making her especially pitiable.

Mo Xiuchen’s gaze deepened, he was unsure why he felt this way about a stranger.

It felt as though, it was the same as the woman he texted with.

He instinctively took out his phone, intending to make a call, but the woman who was originally stationary outside the jewelry store began to leave.

He held his phone and instructed the driver, “Follow the girl wearing the white dress.”

Secretary Wu sitting next to him turned several shades of colour.

Her heart was in shock, and it was only when the driver started to follow Wen Ran that she finally asked, “Sir, do you know that lady?”

Mo Xiuchen heard her, turned around, his profound gaze slightly squinted, “Secretary Wu, do you think I should know her?”

Secretary Wu felt a jolt in her heart under his gaze and managed to force out an awkward smile, “Sir, I thought you knew that lady, that’s why we’re following her.”

Mo Xiuchen was silent, his gaze sharply focused on her.

Secretary Wu’s hands resting on her lap involuntarily tightened, causing her expression to stiffen gradually.

Mo Xiuchen did not continue the conversation, after glancing at her for a few seconds, his gaze shifted to her clenched fist.

He turned towards the window, watching the woman strolling outside.

Under the dim street lights, the woman in the white dress walked gracefully, beautiful and elegant, like a fairy.

Without trying, she had a different temperament from the people around her.

She walked slowly, occasionally looking into the passing stores, as if reminiscing some happy moments, or missing someone.

Mo Xiuchen followed her for a street, she walked outside.

He sat inside the car, watching her silently.

This unexpectedly drove away the intense loneliness he had been feeling these past few days, it seemed to also fill the void deep inside his heart.

“What’s her name?”

Mo Xiuchen gazed at the woman outside the car window, a sentence slipped from his slightly parted lips as if he was talking to himself or asking Secretary Wu.

The next second, he heard Secretary Wu’s slightly flustered voice, “Sir, I don’t know that lady.”

Mo Xiuchen didn’t turn his head to look at her, but the corner of his mouth lifted into a warm curve.
