Bai Xiaoxiao frowned, unable to find words to counter Wen Ran for a moment.
After pondering, she asked again, “Ranran, do you trust MO Xiuchen too much or do you not care about other women admiring him? I mean, he’s your husband, you have to be vigilant, especially since he’s a remarkable man. Don’t let other women make use of any chances.”
Wen Ran chuckled, not wanting to continue the topic. She changed the subject: “Alright, since you want to go, let’s go over there.”
MO Xiuchen, Gu Kai and others were at the suite at the end of this floor, Shen Yuting left the door open after she returned to it.
Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao spoke for a couple of minutes then left the suite. She saw MO Xiuchen standing in the corridor, the dim light hitting his tall figure, his profile lines were strong and chiseled.
“Ranran, MO Xiuchen came out to wait for you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao also noticed MO Xiuchen, a smile appeared on her face as she spoke to Wen Ran.
“Let’s go!”
Wen Ran gave a subtle smile, her tone gentle and calm.
“Suddenly, I don’t want to go anymore. Ranran, you should go on your own. These are MO Xiuchen’s friends, you know them, I, however, do not. I’m also tired from shopping today, I want to go home early to sleep.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s sudden change of mind surprised Wen Ran and she blinked, wanting to say something. Bai Xiaoxiao giggled, gently pushing her: “Go ahead, I’ve occupied you all afternoon and evening. If I’m not quick on the uptake, MO
Xiuchen will get mad.”
“Xiaoxiao, if you don’t like having dinner with strangers, then I will go over and say hello and come back.”
Wen Ran hesitated a bit. Bai Xiaoxiao has truly ended her relationship with Xiao Yuting that day. She appears strong on the surface but must be feeling sad inside. As her friend, Wen Ran wanted to be with her during her time of sorrow.
Bai Xiaoxiao glared at her: “Quit overthinking. I am genuinely tired and want to go home to sleep. Hurry up and go, I’ll return you to MO Xiuchen. Let him host this meal, don’t forget to have him pay the bill later. I’m leaving.”
After Bai Xiaoxiao’s words, she turned and walked away.
Wen Ran opened her mouth, watching Bai Xiaoxiao stride away, wanting to say something but not saying anything.
“Ranran!”
From behind, a recognizable voice filled with a deep magnetic charm called out. Touched by a warm breath she knew all too well, she turned her eyes to meet MO Xiuchen’s gentle gaze and spontaneously explained:
“Xiaoxiao says she’s a bit tired from shopping all afternoon, so she went home.”
“When did Bai Xiaoxiao come back?”
MO Xiuchen was looking at Wen Ran with a warm gaze, she was a bit shorter than him. When he was standing in front of her, she had to tilt up her face to meet his eyes.
The breath they exhaled mingled in the air, permeated one another’s respiration, and were carried with the currents swirling around them.
Unbeknownst to them, it became more tender and soft.
Wen Ran smiled and replied, “She came back this afternoon. She was quite upset, so I accompanied her shopping. We bumped into Luo Haofeng.”
MO Xiuchen had heard Luo Haofeng mention his encounter with Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao at the exclusive store. He kindly conveyed: “Ah Feng just mentioned it a while ago, he said the store is his sister’s and mentioned that two women were giving you and Bai Xiaoxiao a hard time.”
He was not concerned about Bai Xiaoxiao being hassled; rather, he was worried about Wen Ran, fearing she would be bullied.
“Yeah, it wasn’t really a big deal. Those two women were just a bit nasty, they are the ones Xiao Yuting is currently interested in.”
“This afternoon Ah Kai called me to pick up his cousin Yuting from the airport,
I didn’t see you there. I didn’t expect you to bump into Yuting in the bathroom.”
MO Xiuchen seemingly casual words, were, in fact, his way of explaining that no matter whether Wen Ran saw him in the afternoon or not, he felt he should tell her about it.
Wen Ran blinked and said cheerfully: “Yeah, it was such a coincidence, Miss Shen recognized me at first glance.
She said that you guys were here to welcome her, and since she is Older Brother Gu’s cousin and also close with you, it would seem discourteous not to stop by and greet.”
MO Xiuchen flashed a grin, reached out his hand to hold Wen Ran’s, and gently said: “Let’s go!”
Inside the suite, there weren’t many people, only Gu Kai, Luo Haofeng, and Qin Mu. Seeing MO Xiuchen walking in hand-in-hand with Wen Ran, Gu Kai and the others were now accustomed to it. However, Shen Yuting’s eyes swiftly flashed a trace of sadness before she quickly regained her smile.
“Xiuchen, I thought you and Miss Wen had already left. Where is Miss Wen’s friend? Why didn’t she come too?”
Shen Yuting rose from her seat, warmly held Wen Ran’s free hand while laughing:
“As soon as I told them I met you earlier, Xiuchen immediately wanted to go pick you up. Xiuchen, shouldn’t you thank me now that I’ve brought Ranran to you?”
After saying this, Shen Yuting turned to Wen Ran, cheerfully saying, “You don’t mind me calling you Ranran, right? It feels weird calling you Miss Wen.”
When Shen Yuting held Wen Ran’s hand, Wen Ran discreetly withdrew her hand from MO Xiuchen. He did not block her from taking her hand back, but his gaze stayed on her.
“Of course, I don’t mind. My friend had to leave.”
Wen Ran lifted a smile, her tone serene and gentle.
“Well, that’s settled, from today on, I will call you Ranran. I am a few years older than you, if you like, you can call me Sister Ting, or follow Xiuchen and the others and call me Yuting.”
“Okay, Sister Ting!”
Just as Wen Ran responded, the ringtone of MO Xiuchen’s nearby phone suddenly sounded.
“Ranran, lets move over to sit down and chat.”
Shen Yuting led Wen Ran to the large round table, asked Gu Kai to vacate a place, drew the chair that was prepared for Wen Ran next to her, and asked her to sit down.
Wen Ran smiled and thanked “Sister Ting”, sat next to her, which happened to be across from MO Xiuchen’s seat.
Gu Kai was to her left and Shen Yuting to her right. Luo Haofeng was on Gu Kai’s left, Qin Mu was on Shen Yuting’s right, and MO Xiuchen’s seat was situated between Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu.
After Wen Ran sat down, she turned her head to look at MO Xiuchen by her side, who was frowning at his mobile screen. Perhaps he felt her gaze; MO Xiuchen shifted his gaze from his mobile screen. When he looked at her, he hid the emotions in his eyes and offered her a small smile.
He didn’t answer the call, but hung up directly.
As soon as he sat down at the table, his phone rang again. Luo Haofeng, sitting next to him, couldn’t help but ask: “Xiuchen, which beautiful lady is calling you? It seems she won’t give up easily since you didn’t pick up.”
MO Xiuchen cast him a cold glance, saying calmly: “Cheng Jia!”
As soon as his words fell, he pushed his phone towards Luo Haofeng, “If you’re interested, you can answer it yourself!”
Caught off guard, Luo Haofeng blinked his big eyes, seeing Shen Yuting and Wen Ran holding back their laughs, Qin Mu was watching him indifferently, and Gu Kai was smirking in amusement. He laughed and confidently said: “Sure, I’ll definitely help you solve this trouble called Cheng Jia..”
