Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2300: Chapter 104: For the Sake of So Many Years of Brotherhood

“Hello?”

In the living room, Mo Ziye’s slender index finger pressed the answer button, his voice indifferent as it came out.

Although he stood in the living room, his gaze fell upon a slender figure in the dining room. Even if he only saw her back, as long as she was within his sight, his heart felt warm.

In his ear, Shi Xi’s voice drilled through, transmitted from a thousand miles away, “Ziye, it’s me, Shi Xi.”

“Is there something you need?”

Mo Ziye’s voice was devoid of any warmth.

In the dining room, Qin Qingqing seemed to have felt the gaze falling on her, turning her head to look at him.

Separated by a pane of transparent glass.

Mo Ziye’s gaze met hers.

He curved his lips into a loving smile and made a gesture.

Qin Qingqing smiled silently, turned back, and served food to the grandmother closest to her.

“Ziye, I want to ask you something. Were those things about me online before your doing?”

“Do you think it was me?”

“I… wasn’t it you?”

“If I had known about those scandals of yours earlier, do you think I would have agreed to try dating you?” Mo Ziye’s eyes flashed with a chill, coldly asking.

On the other end of the phone.

Shi Xi was taken aback by his question.

Remembering what Mo Xin had said, a touch of resentment surged in her heart, “Were you ever sincere in dating me before?”

“Shi Xi, did you take the wrong medicine?” Mo Ziye squinted his long eyes, a dark light sweeping through them.

“I just don’t understand, you dated me at first, but broke up as soon as Qin Qingqing returned and publicly called me a petty woman.”

Shi Xi had a kind of inexplicable conflicting feeling towards Mo Ziye.

On one hand, she hated Mo Ziye.

Because he not only lacked any feelings for her but was also so ruthless.

Yet on the other hand, she loved his arrogant nature fiercely.

Perhaps because he treated other women like that for her, Shi Xi felt dying for him would be happiness.

“I said from the start, there’s no guarantee I would like you, Shi Xi, you should know what kind of person I am, I have no need to deceive you. At least your scandals, whether last time or this time, the person who exposed them must know you, you should start checking from the people around you.”

“Ziye…”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up, we’ve already broken up; I don’t want you to still be unable to forget.”

“Wait a moment.” Shi Xi’s voice carried a hint of urgency.

“Is there anything else?”

“If Qin Qingqing hadn’t returned, would you have…”

“Shi Xi, my not liking you has nothing to do with Qingqing.” After saying that, Mo Ziye hung up the phone.

Looking at the call log on the screen, his brows furrowed slightly.

“Brother Ziye, come in for dinner.” Qin Qingqing came out of the dining room, speaking as she pulled his hand.

Mo Ziye reined in his emotions, holding her hand back, gently saying, “Okay.”

As soon as they entered the dining room, Momo’s teasing voice rang out, “Ziye, you take a call and Qingqing has to call you for dinner, can’t you two stop flaunting your romance everywhere?”

“You can flaunt romance too.” Mo Ziye replied with a smile.

“Sister Momo, Sister Tongtong goes on blind dates every day, why don’t you go on a blind date too, let Uncle Mo and Aunt Wen introduce some eligible bachelors to you, then you can flaunt romance too.”

“You are truly a couple singing in harmony.”

Momo couldn’t outtalk them with her words.

Instead, she drew several elders’ advice on her life matters, and she finally threw down the sentence “I’m full.”

Then fled the dining room.

—

Mo Xiuchen and Qin Mu’s injuries were not disclosed to the family.

Mo Ziye and Qin Qingqing also didn’t reveal anything.

All afternoon, no one knew about their injuries.

It wasn’t until evening when Gu Kai, Wen Jin, and Luo Haofeng respectively brought their families to the Mo family for dinner that the topic arose.

While joking around, Gu Kai’s hand slapped Mo Xiuchen’s arm.

Hit directly on his injured spot, Mo Xiuchen winced at the pain, prompting Gu Kai, the doctor, to ask immediately, “Xiuchen, are you injured?”

“What nonsense, how could I be injured.”

Mo Xiuchen glared at him.

On the other side, Wen Ran, who was chatting, heard Gu Kai’s words, turned to look at Mo Xiuchen, just in time to see him glaring at Gu Kai.

A slight shock hit her heart.

She got up and moved to his side, reaching for Mo Xiuchen’s right arm.

“Ranran, don’t listen to Ah Kai’s nonsense.” Wen Ran’s hand didn’t catch Mo Xiuchen’s, instead, he seized her hand, gazing at her with a pampering smile.

Wen Ran frowned, her gaze sweeping over his arm, “What nonsense did my brother say?”

“Ranran, go check if the meal is ready in the kitchen; Ah Kai is definitely hungry.”

“Ranran, Xiuchen is right, I spent all afternoon doing surgery, I’m really starving now, go check if we can start dinner.” Gu Kai, warned by Mo Xiuchen’s glare, understood he really was hurt.

Afraid Mo Xiuchen didn’t want Ranran to know.

As a good brother and Wen Ran’s brother, he didn’t want her to worry, so he helped Mo Xiuchen out.

Wen Ran nodded with a smile, “Alright, I’ll check.”

Following her into the kitchen with his gaze, Mo Xiuchen then turned his head to harshly glare at Gu Kai again.

Gu Kai looked innocent, “How was I supposed to know you were injured and Ranran didn’t know.”

“How did you get hurt, is it serious?”

Beside them, Wen Jin, who hadn’t spoken until now, also asked with concern, looking at Qin Mu as he did.

Mo Xiuchen gave a brief explanation.

When Wen Ran emerged from the kitchen, he shifted the topic.

After dinner, Mo Xiuchen stayed with Luo Haofeng and Wen Jin to play mahjong.

Luo Haofeng teased, “Xiuchen, you’ve been away for so many days, aren’t you going to have some couple time with Ranran rather than keeping us to play mahjong… Hey, could you not kick so hard?”

“Haha, Haofeng, that’s what you get for teasing Xiuchen.” Wen Jin shook his head with a smile.

Knowing Xiuchen’s intention, Ah Feng dared to tease him anyway.

Who else to kick than him.

Luo Haofeng stepped a few paces away from Mo Xiuchen and grumbled, “I was just worried you’d kick us out after sitting down, so I wanted to make sure.”

“You can leave now, we have plenty of guest rooms, Xiaoxiao won’t be going home tonight, leave on your own.”

“For the sake of our years of brotherhood, I can’t watch you kneel on the keyboard, I’ll reluctantly stay to play mahjong with you.” Luo Haofeng glanced towards the kitchen.

After dinner, Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to prepare fruit.

Mo Xiuchen smirked, looking like a man who couldn’t be away from his wife for a day, then turned to ask Qin Mu, “Ah Mu, do you want to head home for some rest?”

“No need, I want to see how you lose to Ah Kai, Ah Jin, and Ah Feng tonight.” Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, answering with a smile.

Over the years, every time mahjong was played at the Mo family, the ones who won always included Mo Xiuchen.

Tonight, he shouldn’t dare win too much against them.
