Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1241: 1240 Last night was not a dream, it was real.

Mo Xiuchen softly hummed a sound and gently stroked Wen Ran’s smooth hair, whispering, “Ranran, you sleep first, I’ll go to the study and call Ah Mu.”

Wen Ran nodded, “Okay.”

After watching her get comfortable in bed, Mo Xiuchen thoughtfully covered her with the blanket, then got out of bed, checked in on the three sleeping little treasures in the next room, before heading back to the study and dialed Qin Mu’s number.

The phone rang a few times, then from the other end, Qin Mu’s voice came through on this autumn night, vaguely carrying a tinge of suppressed emotion, “Hello, Mo Xiuchen.”

“Something sounds off with your voice, what’s wrong?”

Mo Xiuchen narrowed his long eyes and stood tall in front of the window, holding the phone in one hand while the other hand moved the curtains, his deep gaze cast towards the night sky.

“It’s nothing. What’s up calling so late?”

On the other end, Qin Mu retorted instead of answering.

Mo Xiuchen faintly curved his lips, casually mentioning, “An Lin called Ranran, saying she’s getting married. Ranran is worried about her, so I called to ask you.”

“That’s right, she is getting married, to a civil servant, a guy who seems pretty decent.”

Qin Mu’s voice held a slight harshness.

Mo Xiuchen laughed softly, dropped the curtain, returned to his chair, and lazily leaned back into the chair back. “Ah Mu, she’s rushing into marriage because of you, isn’t she?”

“Getting married might not be a bad thing for her, it’s her own choice.”

“Heh!”

A profound light flickered in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes, “Ah Mu, you seem unhappy, is it because An Lin won’t listen to your advice?”

“You know and still ask?” Qin Mu was clearly displeased.

Mo Xiuchen pursed his lips, pondering for a moment, then said: “You don’t need to persuade her, unless you marry her, otherwise, nothing will work.”

“Mo Xiuchen, you know that’s impossible.”

“That’s why I say you need not persuade.”

Mo Xiuchen answered indifferently, “Has An Lin set the date for the wedding?”

“Not yet, but she might take leave next month, and possibly, resign.” On the other end, Qin Mu was sitting on the sofa, holding the phone in one hand, and a cigarette in the other, his handsome features obscured by swirling smoke.

He had always regarded An Lin as a sister and never imagined she would have such feelings toward him.

Ever since he learned of her feelings, he had been avoiding her as much as possible.

Later, An Lin confessed to him, saying she liked him.

Suddenly, the relationship between Qin Mu and An Lin became awkward, not even good enough to be called friends.

These days, An Lin’s work performance had been poor, and Qin Mu could actually sympathize with her pain since he had experienced the same anguish.

“Alright, whether An Lin takes leave or resigns, just agree to it.” Mo Xiuchen didn’t want An Lin and Qin Mu to end up not even being able to be friends.

***

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Today, since Bai Yuqin was going on a trip with her old sisters, Bai Yiyi got up especially early.

The nanny taking care of Tongtong had started working a week ago, and Bai Yuqin had detailed all of Tongtong’s usual habits to her.

After breakfast, just as Bai Yiyi was about to take Bai Yuqin to the airport, Gu Kai arrived.

So, Bai Yiyi and Bai Yuqin both got into Gu Kai’s car, “Take Tongtong with us, I don’t have surgery today. Tongtong can come to the hospital with me, I’ll take care of her.”

“Is that okay? Even if you don’t have surgery, don’t you still have rounds and such?”

Bai Yiyi asked worriedly.

While they were talking, Wen Ran arrived.

“Brother, I’m here to pick up Tongtong. These days, let her play with our three little ones. The hospital, after all, isn’t a suitable place for children to go, better not to take her if not necessary.”

In Wen Ran’s view, hospitals are full of various germs.

Bai Yiyi agreed with Wen Ran’s view, “Let Tongtong go play with Momo, Xin Xin, and Ziyi.”

Gu Kai shrugged, “Alright.”

After taking Bai Yuqin to the airport, Bai Yiyi accompanied her inside, until their group boarded the plane, then she came out.

Gu Kai was waiting for her at the entrance.

When the two got into the car, they didn’t realize that someone was taking photos of them from behind.

***

Wen Ran took Tongtong back home, and Tongtong’s nanny also went with her to her house.

Just as they entered the living room, her phone started ringing.

It was An Lin, Wen Ran let the nanny soothe Tongtong while she pressed the answer button and cheerfully spoke, “Hello, An Lin.”

“Ranran, I’m doomed.”

Over the phone, An Lin’s voice carried a mix of complex emotions, reaching Wen Ran, who was stunned, “An Lin, what happened?”

“Last night, I and Qin Mu, I don’t know how, but we ended up sleeping together.”

“What?”

Wen Ran’s voice suddenly heightened.

“Ranran, I and Qin Mu slept together.” An Lin thought she hadn’t heard clearly and repeated it.

On the other end of the phone, there was the sound of a car, Wen Ran asked worriedly, “An Lin, where are you now?”

“I just left Qin Mu’s house, went back to my place to grab some stuff, and now I’m headed to the airport.”

“An Lin, what about Qin Mu? Did he just let you go?”

Wen Ran listened somewhat confused, unable to understand how An Lin and Qin Mu ended up sleeping together. An Lin was supposed to go home today, she had even resigned to get married.

But last night, she was with Qin Mu…

“Ranran, I can’t make him responsible for what happened last night, nor can I be with him just because of it.”

“An Lin, don’t panic, and don’t rush back home. How about you come to G City first?” From An Lin’s tone, last night wasn’t her fault.

What the actual reason was.

Wen Ran knew, Qin Mu isn’t the irresponsible type. If he had a relationship with An Lin, he would definitely propose to take responsibility.

“An Lin, you can’t go back to A City now.”

As Wen Ran finished speaking, she heard Qin Mu’s voice through the phone, followed by An Lin’s angry voice, “Qin Mu, let go of me.”

“Let’s talk properly.”

Qin Mu’s voice was heavy, that kind of brooding depth when facing situations, trying to keep calm.

“If you’re going to talk about taking responsibility or something, there’s no need. Last night was just an accident, just treat it like it was a dream.”

An Lin was very stubborn; last night was voluntary for her.

She visualized last night’s events. Because she was leaving, last night, she invited her colleagues for dinner and karaoke. Qin Mu didn’t come.

At eleven at night, after their activities, she suddenly wanted to see Qin Mu, to talk to him a bit more.

Like possessed, she found herself at his apartment…

Her wrist was firmly clasped by Qin Mu’s strong hand, his sharp and cold eyes firmly gazing at her, “An Lin, last night wasn’t a dream, it was real. I can’t just let you go back to A City to get married after what happened last night.”

“I don’t need you to take responsibility.”

An Lin exclaimed with anger, her chest heaving violently.

“Don’t get worked up, didn’t you say you liked me before? We can try dating first…”

“Qin Mu, can you not understand what I’m saying?”
