Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 822: 821 jealous

In that hallway, it was fortunate that only the two of them were present.

The deliberately hushed voice of Mo Xiuchen, audible only to her, had turned Wen Ran’s face as red as a tomato, her eyes wide with shock as she stared at him.

How could he say such things?

Yet, his words had stirred her emotions, involuntarily bringing to mind those not-suitable-for-children scenes from their past, things they had not only done but had repeatedly shared through countless nights…

The air, seemingly without warning, took on a suggestive tone.

Mo Xiuchen was close to her, his breath mingling with the faint, pleasant scent of her body, causing his mind to flutter. Seeing her cheeks flushed and her eyes filled with shock, he thought she looked enchantingly shy, and suddenly felt a tightness in his throat, his large hand involuntarily moving to the back of her head.

...

“Ranran!”

With a husky and magnetic voice, Mo Xiuchen tightened his grip on Wen Ran’s head and involuntarily kissed her soft lips.

Their lips met.

Wen Ran felt a loud boom in her head, her mind momentarily blown into a blank.

She stood there dazed, her eyes still fixed on Mo Xiuchen, unable to react, her blank mind forgetting to send out instructions quickly.

By the time she realized what was happening, Mo Xiuchen had already pulled away from her lips.

He hadn’t forgotten—this was a hospital. It was just a brief kiss, a touch-and-go, before he let her go, even though a voice inside him screamed to kiss her deeply.

Her lips, soft and fragrant like petals, once touched, nearly made him lose control. Though he had moved away from her lips, his large hand remained on the back of her head, his gaze on her eyes burning and profound.

The atmosphere was at its peak of ambiguity.

He curved his lips into a smile, his tone husky and tempting as he said, “Ranran, don’t blush in front of me next time. You, like that, make me lose control over myself.”

“…”

Wen Ran opened her mouth but found herself unable to retort.

His words sounded as though she was seducing him, yet it was clearly he who had made suggestive comments and deliberately stood too close, his breath wafting near her ear, making it impossible for her not to blush.

Feeling delighted, Mo Xiuchen chuckled lightly, his hand sliding down to wrap her hand in his and said cheerfully, “Come on, let me treat you to a meal wherever you want.”

Wen Ran’s heart had yet to calm down as Mo Xiuchen pulled her into the elevator. Throughout the elevator ride, he held her hand, and continued to lead her by it as they walked out of the hospital.

Even though it was night, the heated season maintained a hot air outdoors; even the night breeze felt warm.

As the hot air hit her face, Wen Ran’s thoughts finally awakened, and her first instinct was to pull her hand free from Mo Xiuchen’s grip. She didn’t notice that not far ahead, Qin Mu was approaching.

The moment Mo Xiuchen saw Qin Mu and felt the slight struggle from the woman beside him, his gaze hardened slightly, his eyes narrowing as the grip of his hand tightened instead of loosening, his tone laden with meaning as he asked:

“Are you afraid of Ah Mu seeing you?”

Startled, Wen Ran followed his gaze to the front, and a few meters away, Qin Mu was walking towards them from the parking area. Her eyes flickered, an unexplained annoyance rising within her as she forcefully pulled her hand away.

Mo Xiuchen’s expression instantly turned grim.

As Qin Mu drew nearer, he greeted them with a smile, “Mo Xiuchen, Ranran, are you guys heading back?”

Mo Xiuchen glanced at Wen Ran beside him, her face stiff with anger, and he smiled, replying with a question instead, “Ah Mu, weren’t you in City C? How did you end up in G City?”

Qin Mu felt a faint suspicion but kept a calm expression: “My cousin had a baby, I had to come back and take a look.” As he spoke, his gaze turned to Wen Ran: “Ranran, are my cousin and the baby both alright?”

Wen Ran smiled and nodded: “Sister Li and the little baby are safe, and that little baby is extremely adorable. Brother Chen is in the hospital room now; you can go see the baby first, then visit Sister Li a few minutes later.”

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, “Okay, I’ll go see how cute that little one is first.”

After saying goodbye to Mo Xiuchen, Qin Mu strode into the hospital, while Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran got into the car, Wen Ran distinctly feeling that Mo Xiuchen’s mood was off.

Ever since she had pulled her hand away a moment ago, he had been angry.

Initially, it was she who should have been angry when she tried to withdraw her hand, she hadn’t seen Qin Mu at all and naturally wouldn’t have refused him holding her hand because of Qin Mu.

But somehow, it had turned into him being angry.

In the silent car, the atmosphere grew slightly tense. Mo Xiuchen said nothing, his thin lips pressed tightly, his big hand grasping the steering wheel, and as soon as she fastened her seat belt, he bent his head to start the car.

Wen Ran suddenly felt a wave of suffocation.

It felt as though her heart was being grasped by an invisible hand, and although it wasn’t very painful, it was uncomfortably tight.

As the car hit the road, Mo Xiuchen didn’t ask where they were going, driving with focus, or rather, in silence!

Wen Ran remained quiet for a long time, then lifted her eyes to the man driving intently beside her. The handsome face showed stern lines, lacking the usual warmth and smiles, evoking pity no matter how one looked at it.

“Mo Xiuchen.”

She spoke softly.

Mo Xiuchen responded indifferently with a ‘hmm’.

Aside from his undisguised displeasure, there was also a hint of loneliness that could make Wen Ran feel unbearably sad. It wasn’t very obvious, much lighter compared to his displeasure.

Yet even so, Wen Ran couldn’t stand it.

She pursed her lips lightly and explained, “Just now, I didn’t see Qin Mu, and it wasn’t because I was afraid of Qin Mu seeing us like that.”

Mo Xiuchen did not speak, but the atmosphere around him warmed slightly.

Seeing his facial expressions soften a bit, seemingly because of her explanation, no longer angry, a slight smile appeared on her face as she softly said, “Mo Xiuchen, you and Qin Mu have always been close like brothers. Even if I’m not with you, I wouldn’t ruin your brotherhood.”

Wen Ran’s gentle and soothing voice caressed Mo Xiuchen’s heart like a gentle hand, his displeasure and gloom dissipating with her words.

He slowed the car, turned his head to meet her clear, water-like eyes, and said calmly, “Ranran, I understand.”

Wen Ran smiled at him, then fell silent.

The previously tense and uncomfortable atmosphere suddenly eased, and warmth began to sparkle in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes that held hints of jealousy.

He gazed at Wen Ran for a few seconds, extended a large hand, and affectionately tousled her hair. Before she could protest, he gripped the steering wheel again.

A pleased smile formed on his lips, “Ranran, even if you never come back to me, don’t flirt with other men, don’t marry another man, alright?”

Wen Ran was initially taken aback, but seeing the gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, without any signs of anger or seriousness, she smiled gently, “Okay!”
