Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 897: She doesn’t want to deal with you.

By the time they reached Kangning Hospital, the fruit platter had already been devoured by Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran.

When they rushed to the pediatric department, Zhou Lin had just lulled Tiantian to sleep.

In the ward, in addition to Zhou Lin, Shen Yuting, Bai Xiaoxiao, and others, Mo Zixuan and Luo Haofeng were also present.

Upon seeing her, excitement and complex emotions flashed in Mo Zixuan’s eyes. He pursed his lips and started somewhat stiffly, “Ranran.”

Wen Ran furrowed her brow slightly and responded indifferently with a hum.

Since that incident, she had not seen Mo Zixuan. It wasn’t a particularly long time, yet it wasn’t short either; in the blink of an eye, four months had passed.

Seeing Mo Zixuan now, Wen Ran was surprised by his gauntness—he had slimmed down significantly compared to a few months earlier.

His eyes conveyed apologies and guilt, along with other things she couldn’t quite decipher. However, she had no interest in analyzing his emotions. At first, she had harbored hatred and resentment toward him. Later, he became just a stranger to her.

When he had helped Liao Dongxing kidnap her, nearly causing her death and separation from Mo Xiuchen, she truly hated Mo Zixuan.

But in the end, she let him off the hook for Zhou Lin’s sake.

To let go did not mean to forgive.

Standing next to Zhou Lin, Shen Yuting glanced inadvertently at Mo Xiuchen, then looked at Wen Ran with a smile, “Ranran, Tiantian has fallen asleep.”

Wen Ran walked up to Zhou Lin and looked at Tiantian, who was sleeping in her arms, “Shall we start the injection now?”

“Yes,” Shen Yuting replied and instructed the nurse next to her to get ready.

Mo Xiuchen watched as Wen Ran took Zhou Lin’s daughter into her arms, a gentle tenderness coloring his eyes, something within him felt as though it had been nudged, suddenly giving rise to the desire to have a little baby with her.

“Ah Feng, let’s go outside.”

His gaze lingered on her tender form for a moment before he said to Luo Haofeng, who was standing by his side, his eyes, however, were on Mo Zixuan.

The ward was not spacious. With so many people crowded in the room, it felt very cramped. Since they couldn’t be of help anyway, it was better to wait outside than to potentially frighten the little baby later on.

“Alright.”

Luo Haofeng agreed and followed Mo Xiuchen out of the ward while Mo Zixuan, hiding his surprise, also turned and followed them out.

“When did you get here?”

They walked a few meters to the rest area, where Mo Xiuchen asked Luo Haofeng beside him.

The latter smiled and said, “Came here with Mo Zixuan.”

“Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t pay you any attention?” Mo Xiuchen raised an eyebrow. Although posing a question, his tone was sure.

Luo Haofeng’s smile stiffened, his voice tinged with gloom, “How did you know again?”

Mo Xiuchen slightly curved the corners of his mouth, not needing Luo Haofeng’s explanation. From their positions and expressions alone, he knew that Luo Haofeng’s hopes were dashed.

From behind, the sound of a baby’s cry came from the ward they had just left, causing Mo Zixuan to instinctively look back, his eyebrows slightly knitted, “Why is she crying again?”

The crying, it was coming from his daughter. Initially, he thought that even if he saw the child, he would not feel anything.

He did not love Zhou Lin, nor did he love that child. In fact, he had asked Zhou Lin to abort the child.

Yet, when he had just seen that child who looked thinner than other babies her age due to illness, Mo Zixuan felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart, especially when she started crying loudly out of fear the moment she saw the doctor and nurse. The crying tore at his heart, and he felt a wrench inside.

For a moment, he wanted to hold her, but ultimately, he did not have the courage to do so.

Mo Xiuchen noticed the subtle changes in Mo Zixuan’s expression and said indifferently, “If you’re worried, go in and have a look. No matter how well she gets along with Ranran, her biological parents are ultimately you and Zhou Lin.”

The crying suddenly stopped.

The girl named Tiantian had only cried a few times before she stopped. Surprise showed in Mo Zixuan’s eyes, while a gentle curve appeared on the corner of Mo Xiuchen’s lips. Surely, Ranran had calmed the little baby down.

Seeing that the crying had stopped, Mo Zixuan dismissed the thought of going back into the ward. A struggle flickered in his eyes as he looked at Mo Xiuchen and asked, “Can I talk to Ranran for a moment later?”

Mo Xiuchen narrowed his eyes, his tone cold, “She does not want to deal with you.”

Mo Zixuan’s expression stiffened, and he lowered his head, his voice low, “I know Ranran does not want to deal with me, but I owe her an apology.”

“Mo Zixuan, what you owe Ranran is not just an apology. It’s actual compensation. She has already done too much for you and Zhou Lin in D Country recently. If you really feel guilty, then fulfill your responsibilities and stop making her suffer,” Mo Xiuchen said in a deep voice that carried an authoritative tone that brooked no refusal. Mo Zixuan’s face paled, and after a long moment, he replied stiffly, “I understand.”

The door to the ward opened, and Shen Yuting and a nurse came out.

Approaching them, Shen Yuting looked at Mo Xiuchen and said apologetically, “Mo Xiuchen, did my phone call disturb you and Ranran just now?”

“Yes.”

Mo Xiuchen’s facial features were slightly stern as he accepted Shen Yuting’s apology without a hint of politeness.

In front of the nurse and Mo Zixuan among others, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Shen Yuting’s face. She tried to muster a stiff smile and teased lightly, “Mo Xiuchen, then I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you and Ranran. You probably haven’t had dinner yet, have you? How about I treat you to a meal as a way to apologize?”

“No need, Ranran and I will eat at home.”

“Mo Xiuchen, since Yuting is offering to treat us, you should give some face and go. Yuting, you can’t just invite Mo Xiuchen and Ranran, we haven’t eaten either, have we, Mo Zixuan?”

Mo Zixuan glanced at Shen Yuting and then at Mo Xiuchen. When he saw the latter’s frosty face, his eyes flickered, “I have something to do later, so I won’t go.”

Shen Yuting had always liked Mo Xiuchen, and he was aware of it.

In the past, he and Shen Yuting had a bit of a cooperative relationship. Half a month ago, Shen Yuting was hurt because of Mo Xiuchen. Whether she had really given up on Mo Xiuchen, he was not sure.

But after nearly causing Wen Ran’s death, Mo Zixuan dared not do anything that might harm her again.

Luo Haofeng wasn’t trying to help Shen Yuting, just felt that Mo Xiuchen, maintaining such a frosty demeanor and repeatedly disrespecting Shen Yuting in front of everyone, wasn’t very nice.

Shen Yuting gave Luo Haofeng a grateful look, her smile broadening, “Mo Xiuchen, just give me a chance to apologize. I promise I won’t dare to disturb your world with Ranran again. It just so happens that Ah Feng and Bai Xiaoxiao are here as well; I’ll call my cousin right now and we all can go eat together.”

Fearing Mo Xiuchen would refuse, Shen Yuting didn’t finish her sentence and quickly pulled out her phone to dial Gu Kai’s number.
