“You should pay the bill then!”

MO Xiuchen tossed the bamboo stick he just swallowed down onto the table, reached out for the water cup in front of Wen Ran and drank from it. Wen Ran’s brow slightly crinkled, but she said nothing.

“MO Xiuchen, that’s not fair, you said you’d pay. Now you change your mind so quickly, faster than flipping a book, right?”

Gu Kai complained discontentedly. This guy was willing to discard him like a bridge after crossing the river, packing up a barbecue takeaway and then wanting him to pay. Overboard!

MO Xiuchen revealed a light smile, said in a relaxed and unhurried manner: “Since you packed it up, of course you have to pay.”

“Then I’ll eat here! Wen Ran and I got here first, if someone has got to leave, it should be you, right, Ranran?”

Gu Kai changed his mind.

MO Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed sharply, with a sharp look at Gu Kai. What he heard was not that he was staying to eat, but his reference to Wen Ran. “Don’t make it so intimate, Wen Ran is not that familiar to you.”

The more he forbade it, the more Gu Kai wanted to call her that, he looked at Wen Ran with a soft smile, and affectionately repeated “Ranran, Ranran, tell this stingy guy that you said you would treat me to a barbecue.”

Wen Ran was forced into their crossfire, having no other option than to confront MO Xiuchen’s glance. His eyes were deep and sharp, the tone accusatory: “Why did you invite him?”

“Older Brother Gu helped me a lot, so I thought…”

“Stop!”

MO Xiuchen interrupted Wen Ran, his brows knitted tighter, “You call him

‘Older Brother Gu’?”

“Yeah, Older Brother Gu is a few years older than me, it’s not polite to call him by his name.”

On any other day Wen Ran wouldn’t speak to MO Xiuchen like this, but tonight, he took Cheng Jia to the graveyard to visit his mother and didn’t invite her to go with him, she was upset.

“What’s impolite about it? He’s two months younger than me. In theory, he should call you ‘sister-in-law’.”

MO Xiuchen’s voice fell slightly. Even though the guy sitting across from him was his good friend, if he got too close to his woman, he would feel uncomfortable.

In all the years that Wen Ran was married to him, apart from calling him ‘hey’, ‘that one’, she directly addressed him as ‘MO Xiuchen’. When did she ever call him as affectionately as she called Gu Kai?

“Maybe Ranran is my long-lost sister!”

Gu Kai fought back unwillingly. His sister, if she were still here, would be around Wen Ran’s same age.

“Sir, the takeaway food you ordered is ready.”

The waiter’s arrival put a stop to MO Xiuchen and Gu Kai’s dispute. He took the bag from the waiter, rolled his eyes at MO Xiuchen, stood up and told Wen Ran, “Ranran, thank you for treating me to barbecue tonight. I’ll treat you to a fancy meal some other time.”

With that, he left without bothering with MO Xiuchen, taking his takeout and leaving briskly.

MO Xiuchen withdrew his gaze, watched Wen Ran eat her grilled skewers intently with a frown and sternly voiced, “Don’t eat so much, it’s not suitable for you to eat this kind of junk food these days.”

“How is this junk food?”

Wen Ran retorted, MO Xiuchen took out his wallet, slammed the money on the table, snatched the half-eaten skewers from her hand and tossed them on the table, pulling her up to leave.

“MO Xiuchen, what are you doing?”

Wen Ran’s face changed, was pulled up from her seat by him, staggered out of the barbecue restaurant, she shook off his hand and glared at him angrily: “There were still a few skewers left to eat. Why are you wasting it?”

“Get in the car first, I have something to tell you.”

MO Xiuchen’s handsome face was shrouded in gloom, he grabbed her hand again, led her to the parking lot and shoved her into the luxurious Aston.

The car he used to drive Cheng Jia was a business car driven by Little Liu, his own car, he only picked up after he dropped Cheng Jia off at home. Because of this, he was delayed.

Wen Ran sat in the passenger seat, instinctively sniffing the carriage, there was no smell of Cheng Jia’s perfume, she turned to look at MO Xiuchen who sat in the driver’s seat.

“Aren’t you curious about how my clothes got wet?”

In the enclosed car, MO Xiuchen’s low magnetic voice spread, his deep eyes sharply gazed at Wen Ran.

“I don’t want to know!”

Wen Ran answered indifferently, lowered her head to fasten the seat belt. The man next to her suddenly leaned close, the hot masculine breath entered her ears, her heart trembled, lifting her head, her arm was suddenly seized by MO Xiuchen and her body plunged towards him.

The next second, his big hand buckled on her head, bowing to kiss her lips.

After a while, he explained in a hoarse voice: “I was taking Cheng Jia back just now. I got my clothes wet when I threw her into the bathtub!”

Wen Ran’s eyes widened in shock, her small mouth still half open.

MO xmcnen was quite satisnea witn ner reaction to ms woras, ms sexy lips lightly pursed, and his hot breath sprayed on her flushed cheek, “Cheng Jia was drugged by someone, and she was screaming of a headache and feeling hot on the way to the graveyard. I sent her back with Little Liu and threw her into her bathtub.”

Wen Ran was quite slow to react. How could Cheng Jia be drugged?

MO Xiuchen sighed lightly. She was too foolish, unaware of the dirty minds of others.

He opened her shoulder and swept a lock of hair behind her ear and softly spoke: “She asked for it, the drug was probably put in the soup. Besides, her perfume tonight also had a similar effect. Perhaps, she also put the drug into the soup she served me, but no one knows. That kind of medication has no effect on me!”

Wen Ran’s heart tightened because of his last sentence. In her view, MO Xiuchen’s claim that the medication didn’t affect him meant he was impotent, even if drugged, there would be no response.

“Could it be that Cheng Jia drugged herself? It’s the Mo’s residence, how could she rank the drugs?”

“Someone helped her!”

MO Xiuchen spoke, his eyes flashing cold. There’s no underhanded trick Xiao Wenqing wouldn’t resort to. Last time, if he hadn’t known, the one who was trapped wouldn’t have been MO Zixuan, it would have been the innocent woman sitting across from him..
