Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 432: I believe you

Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran walked around the mall for nearly an hour. When they came out, Mo Xiuchen was holding Wen Ran’s hand, and a security guard was pushing a shopping cart for them.

“Xiuchen, did Luo Haofeng go to work this afternoon?”

Wen Ran looked up at Mo Xiuchen, asking softly.

“He went to work. Why, is Bai Xiaoxiao’s mother still angry?”

Mo Xiuchen had been focusing on shopping with her and hadn’t asked about the situation in the Bai family yet.

Wen Ran thought for a moment, “At first, Aunt Qiao was very angry. When I arrived, she was scolding Xiaoxiao, telling her never to have any contact with Luo Haofeng again.”

Mo Xiuchen squinted his eyes, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, “And then? Did you convince Bai Xiaoxiao’s mother?”

“You’re really smart, but I didn’t convince her not to be angry with Haofeng. I just convinced Aunt Qiao not to make a fuss about Xiaoxiao these days, and not to force her to go on blind dates anymore.”

Wen Ran’s face beamed with a radiant smile, her eyes curved. At her sight, Mo Xiuchen’s gaze deepened. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the security guard next to them and suddenly frowned, speaking sternly, “Push this yourself. You can push the trolley in the parking lot later.”

The security guard, sensing the discontent in Mo Xiuchen’s tone, turned slightly pale and trembled as he responded ‘Okay’. He handed the shopping cart to Mo Xiuchen and stood still, daring not to follow them anymore.

“Why did you suddenly not want someone to push the cart?”

Wen Ran blinked in confusion. She was about to turn her head to look at the security guard who hadn’t followed them, but was blocked by the large hand of Mo Xiuchen, “He was staring at you just now.”

Someone’s tone was very unhappy.

Wen Ran was stunned for a moment. Looking at his brooding handsome face, she suddenly burst into laughter.

“Ranran, what are you laughing at?”

Mo Xiuchen frowned. He hadn’t said anything wrong. Just now, the security guard looked straight at Wen Ran. How could he not be jealous?

Wen Ran raised her eyebrows, “I’m laughing at you. You’re acting jealous over the silliest things. He just looked at me once, and you’re already jealous. When we were shopping in the supermarket earlier, all those women, from girls to middle-aged ladies, were eagerly introducing products to you. Wouldn’t I be drowned in jealousy then?”

“Alright, I’m not jealous.”

After thinking for a while, Mo Xiuchen felt that Wen Ran had a point, and the corners of his lips curved up in a charming smile.

“That’s more like it. I’ll treat you to some snacks when we get home tonight.” Seeing him smiling, Wen Ran’s smile became even brighter. Like coaxing a child, she mentioned it while eyeing the snacks.

As soon as Shen Yuting got off work, she went to Jiang Liu’s apartment.

When she arrived, he was cooking in the kitchen. When she opened the door, the rich, delicious aroma of food wafted through the air. Looking through the transparent glass into the kitchen and seeing the familiar, upright figure, she pursed her lips, shook off the deep sense of loss surging within, and walked in with a smile.

“Yuting, you’re here, the dishes will be ready soon.”

Hearing her voice, Jiang Liu came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding a spatula. He smiled at her and returned to the cooking counter to continue preparing the dishes.

“Did you go job hunting this afternoon?”

Shen Yuting walked into the kitchen and stood next to him, watching him cook.

She always felt that there was something similar in Jiang Liu’s demeanor to Mo Xiuchen. If she didn’t know that Mo Xiuchen’s mother only had one son, she would have thought Jiang Liu was his twin brother.

HHe turned to her and replied, “Yes, I did. But I haven’t found anything yet. I’ll keep looking tomorrow.”

Shen Yuting gave a slight smile and said encouragingly, “Don’t be too anxious. As long as you’re determined and make a serious effort, you’ll definitely find a job.”

Jiang Liu’s eyes softened as he looked at Shen Yuting, “Yuting, I won’t let you down. No matter how difficult the job is, I’ll give it my all.”

“I believe in you.”

Shen Yuting’s smile was gentle and graceful. She knew that men needed encouragement, especially men like Jiang Liu.

Through living together for these days, she could tell from his behavior that he shouldn’t be relying on her indefinitely. He was a proud man who should be working a legitimate job.

As long as he was willing to improve himself, she was willing to help him to the best of her ability.

Not for other reasons, but simply because he had a face similar to the man she deeply loved. Many times, she would look at his handsome face and have the illusion that he was not Jiang Liu, but Mo Xiuchen.

Shen Yuting didn’t ask him what kind of job he was looking for. She changed the subject and began discussing other topics. After helping finish cooking, she washed her hands and helped him serve the dishes to the dinner table.

Jiang Liu served the meal for her. Just as they were about to start eating, his phone began to ring.

He glanced at the call and promptly shut off his phone.

“Why didn’t you answer the call?”

Shen Yuting asked with a smile.

Jiang Liu shook his head, “It was a stranger’s call, I didn’t know the number, we don’t need to answer, let’s eat.”

“Hmm.”

Shen Yuting’s gaze lingered for a moment before seeing him picking up a slice of meat and putting it in her bowl. She smiled, stopping her thought about who could be calling him, and lowered her head to eat.

“Yuting.”

While they were quietly eating, Jiang Liu suddenly spoke up. Shen Yuting lifted her gaze, “What’s up?”

“Does your family know about us?”

Jiang Liu’s voice was very calm as he casually asked.

Shen Yuting’s gaze flickered slightly as she responded with a smile,” We haven’t been together for long so I haven’t told my family yet. Once you find a job and get settled, I’ll tell them then.”

“Hmm, you’ve considered everything very thoroughly, Yuting.”

A hint of hesitation flashed across Jiang Liu’s eyes, he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

“Let’s eat. Whatever you want to say, we can talk after dinner.” Seeing his hesitating expression, Shen Yuting gave a faint smile, speaking gently.

From afternoon till evening, Mo Zixuan would dial Xiao Wenqing’s number every now and then, but every time, the phone was shut off.

He sat back on the leather couch, his gaze fixed on the phone screen. Fury kept welling up within him. In the afternoon, he could still convince himself that her phone had died and that was why it was off.

However, by now, he knew very well that his mother wanted to sever contact with him. Perhaps, she had already noticed he was lying to her about Wen Ran’s real identity.

Even worse, she might have discovered that he and Mo Xiuchen had reached an agreement. Although the latter possibility was less likely than the former.

Remembering Tong Shishi’s words in the parking lot at noon, he frowned, and after hesitating for a while, he dialed a stored number.

The phone rang twice, and then a woman’s voice came from the other end, “Mo Zixuan, why are you still calling me?”

A cold smile appeared on Mo Zixuan’s face. He shifted himself in the couch to sit comfortably, and then slowly began speaking:
