Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2179: Chapter 2178: Quitting While You’re Ahead

How can we keep playing like this!

Mo Xiuchen’s lips curved into a cryptic smile as he looked at his son, grinning, “I’m not sending you abroad, are you hoping to stir up trouble between your mom and me every day?”

“Mom, you promised me.”

“Don’t ask your mom, it’s not what she said.”

Mo Xiuchen shot a glance, making Ziyi dare not blame his mom anymore.

Wen Jin chuckled while watching the father and son, reassuring Ziyi, “Ziyi, a real man should be brave and responsible. Since you said it, what are you afraid of your dad finding out?”

“I’m not afraid of dad knowing, I’m afraid mom will be upset.”

Ziyi stubbornly raised his chin, looking like he was never scared.

Next to them, Luo Haofeng, who had been quietly holding his little sweetheart, finally spoke, “Ziyi, what bad things did you say about your dad? Tell us so we can all have a laugh.”

“I didn’t say anything bad.”

Ziyi rolled his eyes, he just exaggerated a little.

“Oh, then tell us, we’ll be the judges.” Luo Haofeng was intrigued.

Qin Mu watched them with a smile but stayed silent.

Ziyi pursed his lips, deciding to speak, “It was last time. My dad got a call from a woman, rushed for a business trip, leaving my sick mom behind. I worried he was being unfaithful and abandoning mom and us three, so I called Uncle.”

“Pfft—”

As soon as Ziyi’s words were out, the room erupted with laughter.

Luo Haofeng, holding his daughter, couldn’t help but laugh out loud, repeating the words Ziyi just said, “Unfaithful in marriage?”

“Ziyi, why would you think your dad would abandon your mom and you all?”

An Lin giggled and asked, finding Ziyi too amusing.

“Because the woman cried over the phone, and my dad, a married man, rushed to her side despite her tears. Isn’t that suspicious?”

Ziyi said, raising his eyebrows at Mo Xiuchen.

He couldn’t believe none of them sided with him.

Plus, he deliberately made his words sound pitifully worried, as if genuinely concerned his dad would abandon them.

“Have you recently taken on a new pathetic role?”

Mo Xiuchen asked quietly.

This kid was almost a face-changing expert.

He was all bitter and pitiful one second, and then he shot him a provocative glance the next.

Mo Xiuchen noticed it even if others did not.

“Dad, don’t change the subject. Today, Uncle and Aunt are here, and Uncle Luo, Aunt Bai, Uncle Qin, and Aunt An are here too. Shouldn’t you explain to my mom?”

“Explain what?”

Mo Xiuchen raised his eyebrows, feeling like he was being prosecuted?

Ziyi argued, “Explain why you left behind mom with a stomach ache for a woman who was unrelated and had intentions toward you. This way, other men could take advantage.”

The room was filled with collective gasps.

Wen Ran couldn’t help it anymore, “Ziyi, enough is enough.”

This kid was really getting out of hand, didn’t his dad want to confront him?

His dad just indulged him.

Based on Wen Ran’s years of understanding Mo Xiuchen and the experience of being plotted by him, Ziyi had much to learn to challenge Xiuchen properly.

Ziyi cunningly paused, generously waving his hand, “Forget it, since my mom’s forgiven you, Xing Xin, Momo, and I forgive you too. But dad, cherish a woman as good as mom.”

Mo Xiuchen chuckled coldly, “You’re right, I surely must cherish a woman as good as your mom, and therefore…”

Halfway through his words, Mo Xiuchen suddenly stopped.

Ziyi’s heart suddenly leaped with panic, first reacting that his dad really intended to send him abroad.

Though he thought himself smart and impressive, he didn’t want to go abroad, leave his mom and dad.

Wen Ran glared at Mo Xiuchen, signaling him not to scare Ziyi.

At that moment, nearby, Qingqing, playing with Momo, Xinxin, and Tongtong, cheerfully shouted ‘brother’, causing Ziyi’s eyes to flash, dropping a quick “I’ll take care of Sister Qingqing” and ran off.

Putting Lingling down from his lap, Luo Haofeng watched as Zhang Minghui immediately stepped forward, bending down to hold Lingling’s hand, heading to find them.

Gu Kai took out a set of keys from his pocket and handed it to Wen Jin, casually saying, “Ah Jin, these are the keys to that villa. We originally thought you and Xiaocha would get your license later, so we weren’t hurrying with the renovations.”

“What is this?”

Wen Jin’s face showed a trace of surprise.

Bai Yiyi standing beside Gu Kai chimed in, “Last time Xiaocha said she likes a minimalist style. We planned to finish and hand it over later, but Ah Kai said this morning when he heard you got your license, he decided to give you the keys so you could oversee it yourselves. Who asked you to get your license without notifying all of us beforehand.”

“Sister Yiyi, you asked me last time because…”

Bai Yiyi chuckled softly, “We all live in the suburbs, only you and Ah Jin are farther away. If you occasionally come to stay over here, it facilitates our gatherings, doesn’t it?”

As she spoke, she paused slightly, scanning Jing Xiaocha’s flat belly, her smile growing even more radiant, “When your baby is born, there’ll be so many big brothers and sisters to accompany, won’t that be even merrier.”

“Brother, just accept it. Initially, Mo Xiuchen and I thought of getting you to move to the suburbs where we all can look after each other better. And, Yiyi and my brother have a vacant place, it’s just sitting empty, so I could help Xiaocha with the baby.”

With Wen Ran saying so, Wen Jin no longer refused.

“Then I’ll take it, thank you.”

“Why thank us? My dad was going to prepare a new house for you. Now I’ve given it to you, he won’t need to bother preparing your new house.”

“Xiaocha and I have places to live; you can tell Uncle Gu there’s no need for him to worry anymore.” With Gu Yan away on a business trip, he did not attend today.

Gu Kai promised with a smile, “Alright, I’ll relay your message.”

However, even if his dad doesn’t prepare a new house for Wen Jin and Xiaocha as a wedding gift, he’ll surely prepare something else grand.

Wen Jin understood the underlying meaning in Gu Kai’s smile, instinctively glancing at Wen Ran.

He felt Uncle Gu was too good to him, and he wasn’t Ah Kai, nor was he Ranran, he didn’t need Uncle Gu’s benevolence.

Wen Ran received Wen Jin’s glance, smilingly said, “Brother, accepting gifts doesn’t follow a rule, it’s at the givers’ discretion.”
