Chapter 886: 885 Mo Xiuchen, I don’t want to leave you

Mo Xiuchen feigned surprise and asked, “Really, Bai Xiaoxiao asked you to accompany her on a trip?”

Wen Ran stared at him, then suddenly laughed, “Mo Xiuchen, didn’t you know? I thought it was you who called Xiaoxiao and asked her to invite me on the trip.”

“Ranran, why would you think that?”

Mo Xiuchen’s lips curved into a smile. Was his Ranran this clever, or had Bai Xiaoxiao let something slip?

“After we finish eating, I’ll tell you why. I’m hungry now.” Wen Ran held back her laughter, her face turning serious. After speaking, she turned and walked toward the kitchen.

After dinner, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran went upstairs together.

He first went to the study to deal with some business matters. When he came out, he saw Wen Ran curled up on the couch watching TV. Mo Xiuchen walked over with a smile, sat down in front of her, and, reaching out, drew her into his embrace.

“Are the business matters all taken care of?” Wen Ran looked up and asked softly.

Mo Xiuchen lowered his head and gently pressed his thin lips against her fair forehead, tenderly saying, “It’s all taken care of now. Ranran, are you tired? Do you want to take a bath and go to bed early?”

Wen Ran lifted her face, her eyes brimming with tenderness. She turned slightly, wrapping her arms around his waist and whispered, “Mo Xiuchen, I don’t want to leave you.”

Mo Xiuchen’s body stiffened slightly.

A swift emotion flitted through his eyes. The hand holding her tightened quietly, and the words that escaped his lips were tender and indulgent, “Ranran, you’re just going out to have some fun for a few days. It’s not leaving.”

Originally, he didn’t want Ranran to know it was his idea.

But unexpectedly, she was so clever.

Just now, he even sent a message to Bai Xiaoxiao asking if she had accidentally revealed something. Bai Xiaoxiao told him she hadn’t said anything.

Since Ranran already knew, he had no reason to keep it from her anymore.

Wen Ran buried her face in his chest, her ear against his heart, listening to its steady beat, echoing in her ears, feelings of reluctance stirring in her heart, “Mo Xiuchen, are you planning to deal with Mo Jingteng?”

Mo Xiuchen honestly replied, “Yes, I want to resolve those issues quickly. Ranran, I’m not just afraid you’ll get hurt; I’m also afraid it will divide my focus.”

Wen Ran pursed her lips and leaned against his chest without speaking.

She knew, Mo Xiuchen had once left MS Group, and now he had lost his memory. Even though Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng would cooperate with him, it still wouldn’t be like before.

There would definitely be many obstacles, and Mo Jingteng would not let Mo Xiuchen easily ruin his lifetime’s work. It was uncertain what he might do.

Yet, she didn’t want to leave him; she wanted to stay by his side forever.

“Ranran, Mo Jingteng won’t harm me, but he might hurt you.” Mo Xiuchen gently kissed Wen Ran’s hair, his deep, tender tone filled with his love for her.

Wen Ran just held him tightly. With a person like Mo Jingteng, who was ruthless to his kin, how could he not harm him? Yet, she also feared that staying would truly become a burden to him.

If she left, he wouldn’t be distracted and could handle the matters more quickly, possibly even take over MS Group. It seemed she had no choice.

“Ranran, once I handle everything here, I’ll come to get you.”

“But you have to promise me you’ll take good care of yourself, and nothing must happen to you,” Wen Ran lifted her head again, her eyes clear as she looked at him.

Mo Xiuchen’s lips curved into a smile as he spoke with sincerity, “I promise you, not a single hair will be less.”

Hearing him say this, Wen Ran felt slightly less worried, yet the unease still lingered. She pursed her lips and softly said, “I’ve been thinking, if you had gone to D Country for the surgery and I’d accompanied you instead of staying in G City waiting for you, maybe those things wouldn’t have happened and you wouldn’t have lost your memory…”

Mo Xiuchen’s heart tightened, and he leaned down to kiss her forehead, gently soothing her, “Ranran, that was in the past. From now on, I won’t leave you again. Once I’ve acquired MS Group, I’ll definitely come to pick you up right away. Aren’t you also worried about Zhou Lin’s daughter? It’ll be a good opportunity for you to check on her.”

Wen Ran nodded, “I’ll go.”

“Ranran, I can’t bear to have you leave either. After all this is over, we’ll never be apart again. Every minute and every second, we’ll be together.”

Mo Xiuchen gripped her tightly and lifted her onto his lap.

He knew that past incidents had unsettled Ranran. She feared that something might happen again when they were apart.

He felt both distressed by Ranran’s unease and happy about her dependence on and care for him. The more she felt this way, the less he could let Ranran stay in G City.

After embracing quietly for a while, Mo Xiuchen slightly pulled away from Wen Ran to gaze into her clear, water-like eyes, “Ranran, it’s getting late. I’ll run a bath for you, and then call Xiaoxiao to book the plane tickets.”

“Mhm.”

Wen Ran ignored the reluctance in her heart and quietly agreed.

Mo Xiuchen prepared the bathwater and found a nightgown for her before pushing her into the bathroom, “I’ll wait for you outside.”

While Wen Ran bathed, Mo Xiuchen sat on the couch outside. She was quick, and after just a few minutes she came out, then it was his turn to bathe.

After settling into bed, Wen Ran called back Xiaoxiao.

Hearing her willingness to come, Xiaoxiao exclaimed excitedly on the other end, “Ranran, I knew you were the best.”

“Weren’t you just saying that I chose love over friends?” Wen Ran asked amusingly.

“Ah, did I? I don’t know that. Ranran, you are the world’s best friend. How could you ever choose love over friends? I’ll call Meng Ke right now.”

After a few more words, she ended the call.

Wen Ran thought of Zhou Lin’s daughter and hesitated about whether to call Mo Zixuan to let him know.

In the afternoon, Zhou Lin’s helplessness on the phone had made her feel somewhat sorry for her. Regardless of Mo Zixuan’s and Zhou Lin’s relationship, Tiantian was their daughter, and as her father, Mo Zixuan always bore a responsibility.

But Zhou Lin did not seem intent on informing Mo Zixuan. If Mo Zixuan really had no intention of taking responsibility for Tiantian, then her words would be wasted.

With this in mind, Wen Ran dismissed the idea of calling Mo Zixuan.

Matters of the heart can never be forced; she could not pressurize anyone and didn’t want to pressure anyone either. Mo Xiuchen’s phone rang, pulling Wen Ran from her thoughts. Picking up his phone, she saw that Qing Feng’s name was displayed and she blinked her eyes before pressing the answer button, “Hello!”

“Miss Wen, is Young Master Mo there?”

Hearing her voice, there was a moment of surprise from Qing Feng, who then politely asked.

Wen Ran glanced toward the bathroom and, hearing no sound of water, she assumed Mo Xiuchen was about to come out. She slightly smiled, “Xiuchen is taking a shower, but he should be out soon.”

Just as she finished speaking, the bathroom door opened from inside, and Mo Xiuchen emerged, wrapped only in a towel, with un-dried water droplets dripping down his chest.
