Translator: 549690339
She and MO Xiuchen have known each other for as many years as her cousin, and he actually claimed that he didn’t even know what she liked to eat.
Moreover, earlier, when he said “If Ranran doesn’t mind, then I don’t mind”, it indicated another clear implication.
Looking again at his interaction with Wen Ran, although it was just the simplest instruction, it showed that their relationship was good. Otherwise, with MO Xiuchen’s character, he wouldn’t take an order from a woman.
She suddenly felt that she shouldn’t have decided to come in and say hello just because she saw them sitting by the window as she passed by. Even so, she still put her thought into action.
Although MO Xiuchen didn’t say he didn’t welcome her, it was obvious that he didn’t want anyone to disturb his alone time with Wen Ran.
Seeing him raise his hand to call for the waiter not far away, Shen Yuting blurted out to stop him, “MO Xiuchen, no need to call them, I just remembered that I have an important matter to attend to, I should leave.”
She stood up and turn her head towards Wen Ran:
“Ranran, are you free tomorrow? I’ll be taking a two-day break before heading to another city for a speech. If you’re free, do you want to go shopping with me?”
Wen Ran nodded with a smile, “Sure, I don’t have to work this weekend.”
Hearing this, Shen Yutings face revealed a happy expression, “That’s great, I’ll contact you then.”
After Wen Ran nodded, Shen Yuting didn’t say anything else. She just looked at MO Xiuchen with a complex expression. As she turned to leave, a hint of loss was hidden behind her lowered eyelashes.
Even a word of retention he didn’t want to say. She pursed her lips tightly, straightened her back and walked elegantly out of the restaurant.
After dinner, when MO Xiuchen was driving Wen Ran back to the pharmaceutical factory, she tilted her body a bit, looked up slightly, and asked him. Her gut told her that Shen Yuting had left in a hurry because she was hurt by MO Xiuchen’s indifference.
Although she knew Shen Yuting also liked MO Xiuchen and her feelings for him were probably deep, she strangely didn’t dislike her as she did with Cheng Jia.
MO Xiuchen turned his eyes to look at her. Seeing her casually asking and not being probing or caring, he smiled and calmly said, “This has always been my attitude towards Shen Yuting.”
“Always this attitude?”
Repeating his words, Wen Ran’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she exclaimed sentimentally, “Sister Ting is really strong-willed. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t like you stupidly after being treated with your constant cold attitude for over twenty years.”
MO Xiuchen chuckled. He knew that with Wen Ran’s sensitivity and intelligence, she definitely understood Shen Yuting’s feelings for him. He didn’t lie. He’d always been indifferent to Shen Yuting, not disgusted with her like with other women. This was already perceived by Shen Yuting as him treating her differently!
When he spoke to her, it seemed gentle, full of smiles, even full of seeming concern. But, there was no trace of romance in it. At most, he just didn’t treat her like a stranger.
“Have I ever treated you like that?”
He slowed down the car and looked at the woman beside him with warm eyes. Every expression and movement of hers was adorable in his eyes.
Wen Ran pouted, thought about it, and seriously complained, “Why not? After we got the certificate, you dumped me at the Civil Affairs Bureau and went on a business trip. When I was sad because of my brother, you scolded me harshly, telling me that if I cried next time, I wouldn’t need to go to the hospital. And also…”
A faint, secretive glint crossed MO Xiuchen’s deep eyes. He softly interrupted, “If I was overflowing with affection for you from the beginning, wouldn’t you suspect that I had ulterior motives, or had some other purpose in marrying you?”
Wen Ran was earnestly thinking about his excessive behavior when his words interrupted her thoughts. She blinked in surprise, then suddenly smiled.
Right, if MO Xiuchen were nice to her from the start, she would definitely suspect his true motives. After all, given his status and her previous relationship with MO Zixuan.
“What’re you laughing at?”
Seeing her glowing smile, MO Xiuchen’s mood instantly picked up. “If I want to laugh, I’ll laugh. There doesn’t need to be a reason.”
Wen Ran didn’t want to tell him why she was laughing, she just stopped pursuing the previous topic and asked instead, “Do you think MO Zixuan would agree to hold the wedding ceremony with Zhou Lin in advance?”
MO Xiuchen faintly smiled, disinterestedly replied, “I don’t know. MO Zixuan has always listened to Xiao Wenqing. Maybe he will agree. After all, the child Zhou Lin is carrying is his.”
Wen Ran responded with a simple “Oh”, then asked, “Has Cheng Jia looked for you these past few days?”
MO Xiuchen shook his head, “No, perhaps she feels too embarrassed to see people. Little Liu told me that she hadn’t left her house for three days.”
He had been too busy these past few days. If he had lunch with Wen Ran at noon, he would return home very late at night. The two of them rarely talked about irrelevant people during their time together, so Wen Ran didn’t understand Cheng Jia’s situation.
Wen Ran shifted her body to make herself more comfortable in the seat. She looked at MO Xiuchen with curiosity and asked, “Did Little Liu go to see her? Do you think Little Liu might fall in love with Cheng Jia? After all, he never had a girlfriend before.”
MO Xiuchen laughed and said nonchalantly, “That’s hard to answer. Little Liu likes genuinely gentle and virtuous girls. He’s very filial to Nanny Zhang and Housekeeper Uncle Liu, and he doesn’t want to find a wife who would bully his parents. Cheng Jia’s true nature is definitely not the gentle and virtuous type.”
“But Cheng Jia is very beautiful. I think if she puts her mind to it, making the inexperienced Little Liu fall for her wouldn’t be difficult.”
Women are always more understanding of other women.
Wen Ran felt that Cheng Jia was the type of woman who could particularly attract the attention of men. She was very seductive in her dressing and conduct all the time. MO Xiuchen didn’t notice her just because he wasn’t interested in her.
But Little Liu was different. He had had a physical relationship with Cheng Jia.
Mentally, he might have had some changes regarding Cheng Jia.
“Did Little Liu say anything to you?”
MO Xiuchen furrowed his brows slightly, gazing deeply at Wen Ran.
Wen Ran shook her head. She hadn’t seen Little Liu much over the past two days, so how could he say anything to her, “No, I haven’t seen him much. It’s just a hunch. Ignore what I said.”
“Even if Little Liu does fall in love with Cheng Jia, he won’t do anything wrong against his conscience.”
MO Xiuchen turned his head to look ahead. He was silent for a few seconds before speaking again. His voice wasn’t loud but was resolute and low. He was certain of this point about Little Liu.
If not, he wouldn’t have given Cheng Jia to Little Liu.
However, Wen Ran’s words did remind him. He thought it would be appropriate to call Little Liu and Cheng Jia together when he found the time, and ask about their thoughts..
