For lunch, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran enjoyed a Western-style meal.
The atmosphere in the romantically-stylized French restaurant was warm and sweet, with a piano’s melody accompanying their meal.
Mo Xiuchen provided thoughtful and considerate service. What surprised Wen Ran was the rushed return of her husband, and the gift he had brought for her. She had not noticed it yesterday, and Mo Xiuchen hadn’t mentioned it either.
It wasn’t until they were having lunch that he finally presented it. It was an incredibly exquisite diamond necklace.
“Ranran, do you like it?”
Mo Xiuchen bent over, his hands on her shoulders, the diamond’s brilliance refracted into his deep, pond-like eyes. The glitter of his eyes and her beautiful smiling face reflected in the diamond.
Wen Ran nodded her head joyfully, “I like it.”
She liked any gift that he gave her.
“Ranran, when we got married, I didn’t buy you anything. From now on, I will compensate you one by one. Whatever other women have, you will have. Even if they don’t have it, you will.”
Mo Xiuchen’s gaze swept over the ring on her finger. At the time, he had bought it in a hurry, without even choosing it carefully.
Wen Ran’s eyes flickered, she gently said, “I don’t need those things. As long as I can be with you, it’s enough.”
Thinking of the dream she had last night, she still felt uncomfortable.
Mo Xiuchen leaned in to kiss her forehead, “We will always be together.”
After leaving the Western restaurant, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran ran into Mo Zixuan again.
A long time ago, they had brushed past each other at this exact place.
At that time, Zhou Lin was with Mo Zixuan.
Now, Mo Zixuan was with a hot-bodied woman. Wen Ran did not recognize the woman. Mo Zixuan saw them, merely nodded a vague greeting, and then walked away arm-in-arm with that woman.
“Ranran, it isn’t bad that he’s forgotten you.”
After taking a few steps, Mo Xiuchen finally made a casual comment. The way Mo Zixuan looked at Ranran now was not like before, fraught with inescapable attachment.
Wen Ran smiled indifferently, “You’re in the mood to say that even while the President not only restored him to his original post, but also put higher expectations in him and gave him more support than before. Xiuchen, don’t you care at all?”
Wen Ran felt it was unfair for him.
Regardless of her title as the wife of the president or the rich and glamorous lifestyle, Wen Ran could not tolerate Mo Jingteng’s methods of wielding power.
Initially, when he suspected that Xiao Wenqing had poisoned him, he hurriedly handed over the company to Xiuchen to manage while he quietly investigated Xiao Wenqing. When Xiuchen didn’t comply, he found her to persuade Xiuchen.
It hadn’t been that long before he found Mo Zixuan again. What angered Wen Ran the most was that he brought back Mo Zixuan to restrain and deal with Xiuchen.
Xiuchen was working hard for the entire company, but Mo Jingteng was plotting against him behind his back.
Mo Xiuchen seemed to have sensed her thoughts, his eyes filled with affection as he opened the car door for her. Watched her get in the car, and then he went to get in behind the wheel.
He turned to her, his eyes tenderly looking at the woman in front of him, “Ranran, I don’t care what that person thinks of me and I can’t be bothered to deal with him.”
His voice paused for a moment then continued with a serious tone, “You shouldn’t care either, and don’t let those things put a damper on your spirits.”
“I just think, the Chairman is treating you so unfairly.”
Wen Ran can’t help but feel depressed. The more she loves this man, the more her heart aches for him.
Every time she thinks of the hardship he suffered as a child, she yearns to compensate him with the whole world.
“I don’t need him to be fair to me, I just need Ranran’s kindness, that’s enough.”
Mo Xiuchen leaned over, fastened her seat belt, afraid that she would become more upset if the conversation continued. He ended the topic gently, “We’re going back to the company now, and we’ll rest for a while. In the afternoon, we still have to face the press.”
“Alright!”
Wen Ran nodded, telling herself secretly that all the unfairness and calculations made by Mo Jingteng against Xiuchen, she can compensate him with her own love.
Even if the whole world treats him unfairly, she will treat him well.
The couple went back to the company and took a one-hour nap. Mo Xiuchen planned to work overtime, but Wen Ran didn’t allow him to overwork himself, so she insisted they rest together.
He never refused her requests, so he went along with it.
At three in the afternoon, the news conference started on time.
Among the attendees, apart from Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran, included Lu Zhiyan from the police department who was in charge of the case, and representatives from the Quality Supervision Department and other relevant departments.
The hall was packed with reporters from major media outlets. There were even twice as many people as expected.
Aside from full seats, both walkways were also packed.
However, the moment Mo Xiuchen and others arrived on stage, there was complete silence for a moment among the enormous crowd. Not until the people on the stage took their seats and the host introduced the attendees’ identities and the purpose of the news conference, did the reporters below begin to raise their hands and speak.
Meanwhile, in Kangning Hospital
Bai Xiaoxiao was sitting in the ward, watching the live broadcast.
Mother Bai sat by her side. Seeing Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen communicating with their eyes, and the warm and intimate connection between them displayed on the LCD screen, she sincerely smiled, “Xiaoxiao, look how good and happy Ranran and General Mo are together, they are indeed a perfect match.”
Bai Xiaoxiao chuckled, ignoring the implicit meaning in her mother’s words, “In this world, there is only one Mo Xiuchen.”
Mother Bai glared at her, speaking discontentedly, “You’re not still obsessing over that boy from the Xiao family, are you? Xiaoxiao, how about if I introduce you to some decent, young and talented men and you try to spend some time with them?”
In the past, Mother Bai hadn’t considered getting Xiaoxiao married so early.
But ever since Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen had a flash marriage and seemed so happy, and Xiaoxiao had been brought back from the verge of death, she suddenly thought it would be best to get her married early and find someone to protect her.
The color drained from Bai Xiaoxiao’s face, she protested loudly, “Mom, how could you suggest that I go to a blind date? I am so young and beautiful, do I need to go on a blind date? As long as I am willing, I can switch my boyfriend every day to show you.”
“Why don’t you switch and show me then!”
Mother Bai said unhappily, the tone suggested that as long as her daughter can be married, whether it’s to a chicken or a dog, it would be okay with her.
“This is what you said, don’t regret it later.” Bai Xiaoxiao puffed up her cheeks out in anger. It’s just a boyfriend. Does it mean her, Bai Xiaoxiao, wouldn’t be wanted by others?
“I want to make it clear first, no matter who you find, the boy from the Xiao family is absolutely unacceptable. You must not be fooled by his sweet talks and turn back. Your father and I have long been disappointed in Xiao Yuting.”
Their family and the Xiao family are old and well-known families. Their relationship has always been good. That’s why Xiao Yuting and Xiaoxiao were engaged when they were children. But Mother Bai regretted the decision that brought so much pain and sadness to her daughter!
