Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1624: Chapter 1623: I Saw Him, and He Saw Me

“Go outside to make the call.”

Wen Ran pointed towards the door, indicating to him not to wake up Xin Xin.

Mo Xiuchen leaned down to kiss Momo’s forehead, asked Wen Ran to continue accompanying her, and then went out to the corridor to make the call.

“Mom, lie down too.”

Momo yawned but held onto Wen Ran’s hand, wanting her to sleep with them.

Wen Ran smiled softly, gently patting Momo’s blanket, “Momo, be good, Mom is here to stay with you while you sleep.”

“Mom, tell a story.”

“Alright, Mom will continue the story Dad just told, okay?”

A few minutes later, Momo drifted off to dreamland. Watching her sweet sleeping face, a gentle smile slowly spread in Wen Ran’s eyes.

After tucking her and Xin Xin in, she stepped out of the room and saw Mo Xiuchen coming out of the next room, Ziyi’s.

“Xiuchen, did you make the call?”

Mo Xiuchen waited for her to come over, naturally taking her hand and leading her to the master bedroom, “The phone’s off, he probably went back.”

Wen Ran frowned with disappointment, “What a pity, Bai Xiaoxiao came out so late, probably hoping to see Luo Haofeng.”

“It’s okay, as long as they have each other in their hearts, there will be more opportunities in the future.”

Mo Xiuchen smiled softly, comforting her with warmth.

Wen Ran suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, “Just now, Xiaoxiao mentioned she came to taste your cooking, how about you whip up a few dishes?”

“At this hour, can she eat?”

Mo Xiuchen raised a handsome eyebrow, looking at Wen Ran with a gentle smile.

Wen Ran shook her head, “I don’t know, just trouble yourself a bit and whip up a couple of dishes, Luo Haofeng isn’t here, and Xiaoxiao came all this way for nothing…”

The plan was to give Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng a chance tonight.

But when Wen Ran called, Bai Xiaoxiao said she wasn’t coming.

Bai Yiyi and An Lin, both being pregnant, left after dinner with the plan to return home.

Once they left, Luo Haofeng lost interest too, mentioning he had a blind date tomorrow and planned to return to City B.

“I think there’s no need to cook, just prepare some fruits, for you all to snack on while chatting later.”

Mo Xiuchen thought about it, then made a decision.

When Bai Xiaoxiao arrived at the Mo family home, Wen Ran was the only one in the living room.

On the coffee table, there were several plates of fruit and other snacks. Wen Ran pulled Bai Xiaoxiao to the sofa, pointing to the fruit plate on the coffee table, “Xiaoxiao, these are all for you.”

“So many?”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened with surprise as she glanced over the fruit plate, casually picking up an apple slice and popping it into her mouth, then looked up at the direction of the second floor and asked, “Ranran, why are you here alone? Didn’t you say An Lin and the others would be having dinner here tonight?”

“My dear lady, do you know what time it is now?”

Wen Ran rolled her eyes at her, popped a grape into her own mouth, then leaned back into the sofa, “I called you three hours ago.”

“My mom made a whole table of dishes, if I didn’t eat with them, wouldn’t that be unfilial?”

Bai Xiaoxiao pouted, after finishing a small piece of apple, grabbed a grape directly, “Where’s your Mo Xiuchen, isn’t he home?”

“He’s upstairs putting Ziyi to bed.”

Wen Ran said, reaching for a fruit from Bai Xiaoxiao’s plate too.

Bai Xiaoxiao shot her a playful glare but didn’t move the fruit plate away, “Ranran, I just ran into Xiao Yuting.”

“Ah?”

Wen Ran looked at Bai Xiaoxiao in surprise, “Does Xiao Yuting know you’re back in the country?”

“Yeah.” Bai Xiaoxiao nodded vaguely, her mouth full of fruit.

After a moment, she added, “I met Xiao Yuting at my doorstep, he’s changed a lot over the past two years.”

“Xiao Yuting is managing his family’s company now, he’s definitely not as idle as he used to be. By the way, hasn’t his company always collaborated with your family’s company?”

Wen Ran searched her mind for information about Xiao Yuting, as she had only met him twice at banquets.

“Yes.”

Xiao Yuting had just told her, and they still had a cooperation deal recently.

“Xiaoxiao, does Aunt Qiao know you’re at my house tonight?”

After chatting a bit about Xiao Yuting, Wen Ran asked with concern.

Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head, a fleeting emotion crossing her eyes as she lowered her gaze. She pursed her lips and said lightly, “Meng Ke called me in the evening, my mom thinks I’m meeting Meng Ke.”

“I guessed you were lying. If you wanted to come to my house so late at night, Aunt Qiao definitely wouldn’t agree.”

Wen Ran laughed, stuffing a grape into Bai Xiaoxiao’s mouth.

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and said ‘thank you,’ reciprocating by popping a blueberry into her mouth too.

“Ranran, did Luo Haofeng go back to City B?”

Before Wen Ran could mention Luo Haofeng, Bai Xiaoxiao asked proactively.

Wen Ran didn’t find it strange, as this straightforwardness was typical of Bai Xiaoxiao’s character. She didn’t hide it, “Earlier in the evening, you said you wouldn’t come tonight, which made Luo Haofeng quite downcast. After dinner, once An Lin and the others left, he also went back.”

Upon hearing Luo Haofeng was down because of her, Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes subtly shifted.

In her heart, an indescribable emotion suddenly spread.

“In the afternoon, when Meng Ke was driving me home, I saw him, and he saw me too.”

“Luo Haofeng mentioned it.”

Wen Ran’s voice softened, sensing Bai Xiaoxiao’s shift in mood, she also felt a dull pressure in her chest.

“Is he really going on a blind date?”

Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed, as if the earlier sadness was just Wen Ran’s misunderstanding. Her eyes shone with laughter, and Wen Ran couldn’t help but smile as well, “He had one today, said the girl was infatuated with his looks, so he fled to G City.”

“Pfft, infatuated with his looks, did she pounce on him directly?”

Bai Xiaoxiao imagined a woman staring at Luo Haofeng with infatuation and couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Wen Ran chuckled and shot her a playful look, “You’ve exaggerated his charm. No matter how infatuated, she wouldn’t pounce on him.”

“True, he’s also changed quite a bit over the past two years.”

“Could it be any different? He’s now a company president and looks completely different from his former suave image. I even feel like he’s turned into someone with Mo Xiuchen’s personality.”

“What kind of personality?”

Bai Xiaoxiao feigned ignorance and asked.

Wen Ran chuckled softly, “Indifferent to women. If this continues, rumors might start about Luo Haofeng’s sexual orientation.”

“Don’t worry, that will never happen.”

Bai Xiaoxiao confidently stated.

She placed the fruit plate she was holding back on the coffee table, picked up another plate, and continued eating, “His mom will definitely figure out how to set him up with women, not letting his sexual orientation become an issue.”

“You seem to know a lot about Luo Haofeng’s mom.”

Wen Ran suddenly stopped smiling, speaking seriously, “Xiaoxiao, I want to ask you a question, and you must answer me truthfully.”
