Chapter 431: 430 Of course I’m fine
From a distance, Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao could be seen at the gate; one pushing the wheelchair, the other sitting in it. The glow of the setting sun sprinkled down from the horizon, painting their figures. The scene was truly beautiful.
“Ranran, Mo Xiuchen is here.”
Bai Xiaoxiao spotted Mo Xiuchen’s car with a sharp eye. The luxury Aston was casting a black luster under the setting sun, noble and elegant like a king.
Wen Ran’s face was radiant with joy as she watched the slowly approaching car. Through the car window, she could see the handsome face of the man inside, and her heart was swelling with sweetness.
She waved to the nanny not far away to attend to Bai Xiaoxiao, bid her goodbye, and walked out of the villa. The black Aston gently came to a halt.
The car door opened from the inside. Seeing her coming out, Mo Xiuchen didn’t plan to get out, but leaned over from inside the open door, “Ranran, get in the car.”
“I thought it would be a few more minutes, did you drive too fast?”
As soon as Wen Ran took her seat, Mo Xiuchen considerately fastened her seat belt. His handsome features were so close that her every breath was filled with his scent.
“I drove a bit faster than usual since I was afraid you would get impatient.”
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes flickered with surprise at her thoughtfulness. It normally took half an hour to drive from the office to Xiaoxiao’s house, and he had driven quite fast to save eight minutes.
It wasn’t that he was worried about her waiting, but he wanted to see her as soon as possible.
Being apart for only an afternoon felt like a century to him. Especially when Zixuan couldn’t reach Xiao Wenqing, his unease grew like a black hole, gradually swallowing every part of him.
His longing to see her was urgent and strong. Unable to wait until after work, he called her to pick her up.
At this moment, with her sitting next to him, visible and touchable, he finally felt settled.
Just as Gu Kai had said, he was indeed too nervous. But he couldn’t help it. The depth of his love for Wen Ran was directly proportional to his anxiety.
Wen Ran felt waves of warmth in her heart. Looking at his sharply defined features, her eyes inadvertently softened with love, “Xiuchen, drive slower from now on.”
Mo Xiuchen paused at her words, his eyes deepening as he looked at her.
Feeling his gaze on her, Wen Ran’s heart skipped a beat. Her eyes flickered, “Xiuchen.”
“Ranran, let’s go home.”
Mo Xiuchen collected his emotions, a gentle smile playing on his sexy lips. His large hand brushed past her ear, straightening up to drive, “Okay!”
Wen Ran’s eyes twinkled with happiness. Her voice was soft and warm. The atmosphere in the car suddenly seemed to warm up with her presence.
On the way home, Mo Xiuchen drove very slowly. As long as he had Ranran by his side, he would never drive fast. He would do anything to ensure her safety and savor the feeling of having her close to him.
Soft music flowed through the car.
Wen Ran leaned slightly sideways, her liquid eyes lingering on Mo Xiuchen. Simply watching him brought a sweet and satisfying feeling to her heart.
“Ranran, do you need to buy something?”
As they approached the shopping plaza, Mo Xiuchen turned to Wen Ran. He liked this feeling. Whenever he turned his head, she was there, looking at him softly.
“It’s still early, why don’t we take a walk around the mall.”
Wen Ran glanced ahead, smiling as she made the suggestion.
“Okay!”
Mo Xiuchen agreed to her request unconditionally with a smile. The car took a turn and drove into the mall parking lot. He had reserved parking spaces everywhere. The security were quick to open his door as soon as he parked the car.
Mo Xiuchen got out of the car, went around to the other side, and personally opened the door for Wen Ran to get out.
At this time, the mall was crowded with people. Mo Xiuchen wrapped his arms around Wen Ran, holding her entirely within his arms to prevent anyone from bumping into her.
The two took the elevator to the fourth floor. Wen Ran pulled Mo Xiuchen, heading straight to the counters.
“Ranran, what do you want to buy?”
This floor was full of men’s items, from clothes, pants, shoes and ties, to belts. Everything was available.
Wen Ran blinked her bright eyes, took a good look at Mo Xiuchen, and said with a giggly laugh, “Xiuchen, I haven’t really decided what to buy yet. Why don’t we try on some clothes from each store? Whatever suits you, we can buy. How about that?”
Mo Xiuchen’s mouth twitched as he squinted his eyes, questioning her meaningfully, “Ranran, do you really want me to try on clothes at every counter? Are you willing to let other women watch me changing?”
The saleswomen on this floor were all young women. Especially one close to the counter was looking their way. When she saw Mo Xiuchen, there was clear amazement in her eyes.
“Let’s just go downstairs and buy some snacks.”
Wen Ran frowned slightly. Her idea seemed a bit childish and ridiculous, but most importantly, she was regretting her impulse.
The last thing she wanted was for other women to see Mo Xiuchen changing. Even if those women just admired him, she would feel uncomfortable.
Mo Xiuchen saw the change in her expression and smiled deeper. He turned his hand, enveloping her small hand in his palm, and said happily, “Let’s go. I don’t lack anything. Rather than having others watch me try on clothes, let’s go downstairs and buy some snacks you like. Tonight, I’ll watch a TV series with you.”
Wen Ran looked at him in surprise, “Didn’t you say watching those TV series is a lie?”
She would often cry while watching TV.
Mo Xiuchen laughed lightly, “Since they make you cry, isn’t that deception? But since you like it, even if it’s a lie, I’ll watch it with you.”
“Xiuchen, you’re really nice.”
Wen Ran was moved by his words. Her heart was filled with sweetness and a touch of bitterness. Mo Xiuchen, a man who commanded the business world, would never have done such trivial things before he met her.
But now, he only had eyes for her, valuing her even above himself.
“Of course I am. Haven’t I said it? I will spoil you so much that you can’t live without me.”
Mo Xiuchen’s deep eyes were filled with laughter. Making her happy was all that mattered. What was watching a TV show compared to that?
