Wen Ran pulled a tissue from the box on the dashboard and handed it to her, whispering, “I’m not going, whatever you want to eat, my treat.”
After crying, Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes were a bit red and swollen, but they were no longer filled with sadness. With the moistening of tears, they were exceptionally bright. “I saw the woman sitting diagonally across from you, looking at MO Xiuchen with admiration. Ranran, no matter if MO Xiuchen is impotent, he is now your husband. You can’t let other women covet him. You should go back, I’m really fine now.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Wen Ran’s eyes. She thought that the only person in Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes was Xiao Yuting, but she didn’t expect that she had also noticed Cheng Jia.
However, Bai Xiaoxiao was suffering right now. She couldn’t just abandon her friend for the sake of love. She shook her head and said lightly, “Even if I go back, I won’t be able to stop other women from admiring him…”
“Alright, I admit it. It’s not for you or MO Xiuchen. I just want some quiet time alone. ”
Bai Xiaoxiao interrupted Wen Ran, and a layer of mist clouded her bright eyes again. She was begging her with her eyes. Wen Ran was taken aback by her words, and after a moment, sighed lightly, and asked worriedly, “Are you going home?”
“Yes, I’m going home.”
Bai Xiaoxiao cast her gaze downward, her eyes blankly looking at the steering wheel.
“Call me when you get home.”
Wen Ran softly reminded her, and Bai Xiaoxiao nodded in response. As soon as she got out of the car, Wen Ran started the engine.
After Bai Xiaoxiao left, Wen Ran did not plan to return to the restaurant. She just wanted to eat something and take a cab back to the factory, but MO Xiuchen called her.
She stopped in the act of reaching for the car door, pulled out her phone and pressed the answer key. Even before she could speak, MO Xiuchen’s deep voice came from the phone, “Where are you going?”
Wen Ran was surprised. Instinctively, she turned her head to look at the second floor of the restaurant. Scanning the room, she didn’t see MO Xiuchen anywhere. His voice echoed in her ear, “Come up to the second floor!”
He didn’t give her a chance to refuse. After finishing his words, he immediately hung up the call.
Wen Ran frowned at her phone. She apologized to the taxi driver and turned to walk towards Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion.
When she arrived back on the second floor, MO Xiuchen seemed to have just taken his seat. He was bringing the cup in front of him to his lips. Cheng Jia served him food and softly spoke, “Young Master MO, I can make this sweet and sour pork rib too. If I get a chance, I’ll cook and let you taste my culinary skills…”
MO Xiuchen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at Wen Ran coming in from the corner of his eyes. He raised his hand to signal a waiter standing a few steps away. The waiter immediately came with a smile.
When Wen Ran reached the table, she heard the waiter saying, “Alright, please wait a moment.” He then turned and left.
“This dish has already cooled, I asked the waiter to re-serve these two dishes you like.”
As MO Xiuchen spoke, he pulled the chair out for Wen Ran. It was the same spot she had sat at earlier. The only difference was that this time, after pulling the chair out, his long arm naturally landed on the back of her chair, his body leaning slightly towards her, enveloping her in a sharp masculine scent.
Across from them, the look in Cheng Jia’s eyes changed briefly but she quickly
returned to normal and asked with concern, “Miss Wen, is your friend alright?”
“She’s fine.”
As soon as Wen Ran finished speaking, she felt a sudden warmth by her ear as MO Xiuchen’s slender fingers brushed a strand of hair behind it, his coarse fingers touching her skin.. His low, languid voice landed in her ear, “If I hadn’t called you, were you planning to just leave?”
