Chapter 565: So that’s how it is

Seeing his demeanor, Wen Ran’s heart was filled with softness, a touch of warmth spread across her brow and eyes. She answered gently, “Hmm, I am always with you.”

A smile spread across Mo Xiuchen’s lips, making him instantly handsome. He helped her up from the bed and said, smiling, “You should go do what you need to.”

Wen Ran nodded, got up from the bed, and quickly went into the bathroom.

Mo Xiuchen watched her retreating figure until she disappeared behind the bathroom door. Thinking about how she had stayed by his side all this while filled his heart with sweetness.

His Ranran was true to her words. When she made a promise, she would keep it. He had always firmly believed this.

He knew that since she had promised to stay by his side, she wouldn’t think about leaving anymore. With this thought, he got off the bed and walked towards the bathroom.

Reaching the bathroom door, he didn’t knock nor did he push the door open. He just stood tall and silent by the door.

When Wen Ran came out and saw Mo Xiuchen standing outside the door, she thought he needed to use the bathroom. She smiled and said, “Go ahead.”

Mo Xiuchen chuckled softly, took her slender and soft hand in his, “I am waiting for you here.”

Wen Ran looked up in surprise. Her wide, bright eyes met his narrow ones brimming with amusement. She suddenly felt her heart flutter, and a strong sense of warmth seemed to travel from her palm right into her heart.

**

In the following days, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran spent their time joyfully.

He didn’t go to work but spent his entire days with her, taking her out to play.

Wen Ran, having unburdened herself and accompanied by her deeply affectionate husband, was naturally in high spirits. Her pretty face was filled with radiant smiles.

After spending two days at a scenic spot near G City, on their way home that night, Mo Xiuchen was driving, and Wen Ran was snoozing in the passenger seat.

The closed car was filled with soft music, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere. From time to time, Mo Xiuchen would look at Wen Ran through the rearview mirror, a satisfied smile playing on his sexy lips.

The sudden ring of the cell phone broke the tranquility. Wen Ran, who hadn’t fallen asleep, slowly opened her eyes upon hearing the sound.

Mo Xiuchen glanced at her with a smile and answered the phone, asking casually, “Hello?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Haofeng’s voice rang out in the car, “Mo Xiuchen, have you and Wen Ran returned yet?”

Mo Xiuchen squinted slightly, the corners of his mouth curved in a pleasant arc. He asked casually, “What’s up?”

“We’ve missed you after not seeing you for a few days. Let’s have dinner together. Ah Mu and Ah Kai are here too.”

“Where?”

Mo Xiuchen asked briefly.

He and Ranran had not eaten dinner yet. They had planned to go home and eat, but since Luo Haofeng, Qin Mu, and Gu Kai were all there, they decided to join them.

“Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion.”

Luo Haofeng’s voice was very cheerful. It was obvious that he was very happy when he agreed to go. After a slight pause, he added, “Hurry up and get over here!”

Mo Xiuchen glanced at the road ahead and responded with satisfaction, “We’ll be there in ten minutes.”

Although he said ten minutes, his car arrived at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion just five minutes later. After parking the car, he turned around, unbuckled Wen Ran’s seatbelt, and then they both got out of the car from their respective sides.

He intended to open the car door for her, but seeing that she had also exited, he hooked his lips into a smile. He walked over, took her hand, and they walked towards the entrance of Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion side by side.

On the second floor of Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion.

When Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen stepped into the elegantly designed and spacious hall on the second floor, they immediately spotted Luo Haofeng, Qin Mu, and Gu Kai sitting near the window on the left.

“Ranran, let’s go over there.”

Mo Xiuchen looked at Luo Haofeng and the others, he then looked down at Wen Ran by his side, only to see her looking towards the right. Following her gaze, he finally noticed Bai Xiaoxiao and Xiao Yuting on the right.

A glimmer of understanding flickered in his characteristic narrow eyes. He narrowed them slightly and said significantly, “No wonder Ah Feng asked us to hurry. So that’s why. How did Bai Xiaoxiao end up with Xiao Yuting?”

Hearing his words, Wen Ran looked up, confusion written all over her face.

She didn’t know either.

Xiaoxiao’s leg had been recovering well recently, but because of her own issues with Mo Xiuchen, she hadn’t paid much attention to Xiaoxiao during this period.

How she ended up with Xiao Yuting, she really had no idea.

“I’m going to go check on them.”

She gave Mo Xiuchen a gentle smile, her tone had an inquisitive edge. Mo Xiuchen nodded his understanding, his large hand slowly released hers, as he watched her walk towards Bai Xiaoxiao and Xiao Yuting.

Bai Xiaoxiao, with her back to Wen Ran, was not aware that she was walking over. With her head lowered, she poked at her food with her chopsticks, seemingly lost in thought.

Sitting opposite her, Xiao Yuting looked at her, his gaze less cold than usual, but filled with warmth. He didn’t know why, but after this girl, who had followed him for over twenty years, left him, he found it hard to get used to it.

At first, he was merely feeling unsettled. However, when Xiao Xiaoxiao was in a car accident, he was out of town. Hearing the news, he felt anxious.

He rushed back to G City, and after some hesitation, visited her in the hospital. On that day, he coincidentally ran into Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu in her ward. It was then that he realized Luo Haofeng had feelings for her, and he was not happy.

Latter on, he visited her again, only to be treated coldly by her, as though he were a stranger.

During the Spring Festival, he called her, but she was indifferent. The cold treatment from her made him want to approach her even more.

Even more, as he recalled times when she used to chase after him, he surprisingly found that he had fallen for her.

“Xiaoxiao, Wen Ran’s here.”

Seeing Wen Ran approaching, Xiao Yuting quietly reminded the daydreaming Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s wandering thoughts were pulled back by his words. She glanced at him, quickly turned her head to look at Wen Ran. Upon meeting Wen Ran’s gaze, a look of delight spread across Bai Xiaoxiao’s face, and she called out cheerfully, “Ranran!”

Wen Ran paused in front of her, her eyes full of amusement as she looked at her, “Why are you here?”

What she really wanted to ask was, why was she with Xiao Yuting? Didn’t she really dislike Xiao Yuting?

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and, instead of answering, counter questioned, “Are you alone?”

As she said this, her gaze circled the hall. When it landed on Mo Xiuchen, it paused for just a second before moving away.

“I heard that Mo Xiuchen resigned as the CEO of MS Group. Ranran, where have you guys been playing these days?”

These few days, she was busy with Xiao family’s matters and didn’t have time to contact Wen Ran.

As soon as Mo Xiuchen was mentioned, Wen Ran’s forehead and eyes revealed an unconscious warmth, and her smile grew even brighter, “Just playing around nearby. How’s the recovery of your leg.”

She looked down at Bai Xiaoxiao’s leg.

Bai Xiaoxiao also looked at her own leg, stretched it out and said to her, “I’m able to walk now. I thought I’d give you a surprise after my leg fully recovers.”
