Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 748: He said so under the 747

Luo Haofeng actually wanted to speak up, saying that he, like Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen, could keep loving each other without being together.

Yet he was afraid if he mentioned Mo Xiuchen, Wen Ran would feel sad, so he swallowed those words back.

Hearing him say this, Wen Ran just smiled faintly, turning her head towards the window without speaking any more.

And just like that, the car interior fell into silence.

Qin Mu was focused on driving, keeping an eye on the road ahead, Luo Haofeng was lost in his thoughts, and Wen Ran was watching the buildings roll past outside the window, her mind drifting across the Pacific Ocean…

Suddenly, the silence was shattered by a childish and ridiculous ringtone, “Boss, that guy sent you a message again.”

In the front seat, Qin Mu’s grip on the wheel tightened suddenly. Luo Haofeng turned his head towards Wen Ran and blurted out, “Ranran, are you still using this ringtone?”

That night at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, her ringtone had taken them by surprise.

Shen Yuting and Bai Xiaoxiao even teased her about it, but who would have thought… she still hadn’t changed it.

Wen Ran did not reply to Luo Haofeng.

As soon as the ringtone sounded, her head had dipped down to retrieve her phone.

In the driver’s seat, Qin Mu’s gaze skimmed over the glass to watch her read the message. Seeing her eyes soften with a gentle warmth, he pressed his lips together, also smiling.

“Who’s sending you these messages that put you in such a good mood?”

Luo Haofeng shifted himself so he could study Wen Ran with his narrow, romance-filled eyes, his lips curving slightly at the corners.

Wen Ran lifted her head, a bright smile blooming on her delicate, glowing face, lighting up her clear eyes. She replied joyfully, “It’s a message from Mo Xiuchen.”

“A message from Mo Xiuchen, when did you two start exchanging messages? Has Mo Xiuchen regained his memories of you?”

Luo Haofeng wasn’t yet aware that Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran were still in touch.

That night, Wen Ran had acted strangely raising his suspicions, but he couldn’t say for sure, and he certainly never guessed that they had remained in contact.

Wen Ran was all smiles, her eyes curved in delight as she took in Luo Haofeng’s look.

With a proud lift of her eyebrow, she declared. “Even though Mo Xiuchen doesn’t remember me, he’s been sending me messages, telling me about his life.”

“Oh, my gosh, I can’t believe it!”

Luo Haofeng was completely stunned, and wildly curious, his eyes glowing with anticipation, “Ranran, tell me, what has Mo Xiuchen been messaging you about, and what has he been telling you? He doesn’t remember you, how can he chat with a stranger like that? Could he have not only lost his memory but also… gone mad?”

“You’re the one who’s gone mad, don’t you dare talk about Mo Xiuchen like that!”

Wen Ran immediately leapt to Mo Xiuchen’s defense, glaring angrily at Luo Haofeng.

One second it was all clear skies, the next a storm was brewing…

Qin Mu smiled quietly.

Luo Haofeng saw Wen Ran’s angry glare.

And realized he had misspoken.

Wen Ran might not be as cunning as Mo Xiuchen, but when it came to defending those she cared about, they were cut from the same cloth.

Having wounded the man she loved, there was no telling where Wen Ran would be waiting for him to take her anger out on him.

With this in mind, he minces his words with a smile. “Ranran, I just made a slip of the tongue, please don’t be angry. And stop looking at me with those menacing eyes. Just tell me, what secrets did Mo Xiuchen share with you? And what stage are he and Cheng Jia at now?”

Wen Ran maintained her glare, responding coldly, “You sure seem keen to hear something’s been happening between Mo Xiuchen and Cheng Jia!”

“No, not at all… oh, why is everything I say coming out wrong?”

Luo Haofeng smacked his forehead in annoyance. Wen Ran didn’t glance at him, focusing instead on her phone.

She spoke softly, “Cheng Jia will be back in G City soon. If you spend a couple of days in G City, maybe you’ll run into her.”

“Why is Cheng Jia returning to G City? Has Mo Xiuchen returned as well?”

Luo Haofeng remembered his conversation with Qin Mu the other day regarding MS Group’s intentions to acquire Haochen.

Could Mo Xiuchen really be returning to take over the Haochen group and becoming their enemy?

The depths of Qin Mu’s eyes darkened as he looked at Wen Ran through the rear-view mirror, noticing her smile fade slightly.

He picked up the conversation, “It isn’t Mo Xiuchen who has returned, but only Cheng Jia. Mo Xiuchen, after losing his memories, has reverted back to his former indifferent and ruthless personality. He likely developed a particular distaste for Cheng Jia, hence his decision to send her back.”

“Haha, Ranran, is that really what happened?”

Luo Haofeng burst into exaggerated laughter, his face beaming like he’d hit the jackpot.

Wen Ran nodded in confirmation, “Yes, Mo Xiuchen told me he can’t stand his former secretary. He also said he found a new one and bought a plane ticket for the old one to leave, so she can stop bothering him and give him some peace.”

“Mo Xiuchen said that? How interesting. So the arrogant and entitled Mo Xiuchen is back, tossing anyone he doesn’t like or can’t stand right out of his sight. I find that rather amusing.”

Luo Haofeng laughed self-satisfyingly, “I can’t imagine why Mo Jingteng encouraged Cheng Jia to pose as Mo Xiuchen’s fiancée and even allowed her to become Xiuchen’s secretary.”

“Now that Mo Xiuchen has sent Cheng Jia packing, I wonder what Mo Jingteng’s reaction would be. Haha, Ranran, Ah Mu, it looks like I’ll have to stay a few extra days in G City to meet that shameless woman, Cheng Jia.”

When he finished speaking, an evil grin crept up the corners of his mouth, indicating his eagerness to teach Cheng Jia a lesson.

Qin Mu was cheerful, responded agreeably, “Excellent idea, stay a few days more in G City, understand what MS Group’s next move is, and also, pay our regards to Cheng Jia on our behalf.”

“Mmm, I’ll definitely give her our warmest regards.”

Luo Haofeng gritted his teeth, Cheng Jia who was so shameless, didn’t deserve any courtesy from him.

Weren’t they being kept away from Mo Xiuchen? Fine. He decided then, he would seek her out and reminisce about the good old days.

Luo Haofeng chuckled coldly then asked Wen Ran again, “When will Cheng Jia arrive in G City? Has she boarded the plane yet?”

“Going by local time, her flight was yesterday, somewhere around nine PM.”

Wen Ran thought for a second and replied quietly.

Luo Haofeng nodded, looking at Wen Ran with enquiring gleam in his eyes, “Ranran, it seems like Mo Xiuchen hasn’t forgotten you at all; he still remembers you subconsciously.”

“Otherwise, how could he be chatting with a stranger like this? He even does it via childish text messages; Mo Xiuchen doesn’t usually text anyone.”

People like them don’t tend to message, if they had something to say, they would just call.

Texting was either for behaving childishly or for being a romantic between lovers.

And Mo Xiuchen was not one to act childish.

So that could only mean that he really must remember Wen Ran in his subconscious mind, even though he can’t recall this consciously just yet.

Wen Ran responded with a soft smile, her eyes sparkling with a gentle serenity, “If only that were true…”

Suddenly, Luo Haofeng thought of something and yelped, “Mo Xiuchen sent you a message, why haven’t you replied yet? You should get back to him immediately…”
