In the restroom

Bai Xiaoxiao repeatedly rinsed her mouth with water. Wen Ran stood beside her, a faint worry etched in her clear, watery eyes. Only after Xiaoxiao had finished rinsing did she softly ask, “Xiaoxiao, has Luo Haofeng fallen for you?”

Bai Xiaoxiao jerked her head up at her words, meeting Wen Ran’s questioning and caring gaze. Her brows furrowed tightly, and she firmly retorted, “Impossible. He’s just been around women for too long, thinking he’s some kind of woman-wooing love god, assuming that any woman he kisses will be over the moon about it. To put it bluntly, he’s just a narcissist.”

If the unintentional first kiss with Luo Haofeng had left Bai Xiaoxiao upset, his forced kiss today made her more than just upset; she was infuriated.

No girl would ever be happy about being kissed forcibly, let alone Bai Xiaoxiao, who always argued with Luo Haofeng whenever they met.

Last time, he made her play the lovesick fool. That day at the racetrack, he went out of his way to embarrass her and make her look foolish.

Even if Luo Haofeng had once arranged for her to witness Linda and Xiao Yuting’s farce, it couldn’t erase everything else.

Wen Ran’s eyes flickered thoughtfully, and she said, “Still, I believe that Luo Haofeng must have fallen for you, Xiaoxiao. He’s not as fickle or sleazy as you think. ”

Luo Haofeng definitely had a devilishly handsome face that could charm any woman to death. Coupled with his personality, women were drawn to him, but he wasn’t a scumbag.

Bai Xiaoxiao wiped her face and touched her lips. “I don’t care whether he’s sleazy or not. The point is, I have no interest in him.”

“Do you still want to go back? If you don’t want to, I’ll call MO Xiuchen and we can leave right away.”

Wen Ran was afraid that Bai Xiaoxiao would start arguing with Luo Haofeng again if they returned.

“Why wouldn’t I go back? Am I supposed to be scared of him?” Bai Xiaoxiao said defiantly.

The two women returned to the office. Now MO Zixuan was also there. Luo Haofeng sat in a single-seat sofa. MO Zixuan and Zhou Lin were on another sofa, while MO Xiuchen occupied another one all by himself.

Seeing Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao come in, MO Xiuchen waved to them with a pleasant smile. “Ranran, come over here.”

Hearing MO Xiuchen’s voice, MO Zixuan finally turned his head towards the door. When his gaze fell upon Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao at the entrance, there was no change in his expression. Even more notably, the look he used to give Wen Ran, full of deep affection, was gone.

He merely glanced at her briefly, then lowered his gaze.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Even though MO Xiuchen was looking at Wen Ran, he was observing MO Zixuan’s expressions from the corner of his eye. Seeing MO Zixuan merely glance at Wen Ran briefly before drawing back his gaze, he deepened his own gaze, watching Wen Ran with a smile in his eyes.

Wen Ran paid no attention to MO Zixuan and walked directly over to MO Xiuchen. Both she and Bai Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa beside him.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to work.”

MO Zixuan stood up, said curtly, and made to leave.

“Zixuan, I’ll come with you to your office. I still have something to discuss with you.”

Zhou Lin’s face changed, and she hurriedly got up, giving MO Zixuan a pleading look. Seeing that he remained unmoved, she looked at Wen Ran for help.

Receiving her plea for help, Wen Ran’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. She glanced at the gift in Zhou Lin’s hand but didn’t speak up for her.

“Good. Take care of your matter in your own office. Ranran, these desserts and drinks were bought for you and Xiaoxiao. It’s up to you to finish them. Ah Feng, since you have nothing to do, let’s find something for you to do.”

With MO Xiuchen’s words, though MO Zixuan was reluctant, his face merely cooled a bit. He didn’t refuse, nor did he look at Bai Xiaoxiao and Wen Ran again as he left the office.

Zhou Lin sent MO Xiuchen a grateful glance, then quickly followed after MO Zixuan.

“Xiuchen, don’t you think MO Zixuan is acting a bit odd today?”

Luo Haofeng put down his coffee, a faint frown creasing his brow as he looked in the direction of the door. MO Zixuan and Zhou Lin’s footsteps had faded, and the door was now closed—he didn’t have to lower his voice.

Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao were sharing the desserts on the coffee table. Hearing Luo Haofeng’s words, Wen Ran looked at him, puzzled. “How is he odd?”

“Didn’t you notice, Wen Ran?”

Luo Haofeng chuckled, his peach blossom eyes intently focusing on Wen Ran.

Wen Ran shook her head, took a bite out of the small cake that Bai Xiaoxiao handed her, and asked casually, “Notice what? I didn’t even look at him just now.”

Hearing her words, a delightful smirk tipped up the corner of MO Xiuchen’s mouth. He enjoyed Wen Ran’s entire focus being on him, where no other man could outshine him by the slightest degree.

Luo Haofeng gave MO Xiuchen a disdainful look. There was nothing to feel proud about.

“You didn’t notice because you weren’t looking. The way MO Zixuan looks at you is as if he’s looking at a stranger. Moreover, he only looked at you once before looking away—that’s strange.”

Startled by what Luo Haofeng said, Bai Xiaoxiao also felt something was off. Blinking, she added, “Now that you mention it, I also feel MO Zixuan is acting weird. He never hid his infatuation when he saw Ranran before. His longing gaze always seemed as if Ranran owed him something.”

Luo Haofeng broke into a bright smile. “Exactly, that kind of look. But today,

MO Zixuan didn’t have that look when he saw Wen Ran.”

Recalling the expression on MO Zixuan’s face, Bai Xiaoxiao frowned and said, “Today, the way he watched Ranran was very indifferent. Given his personality, he wouldn’t leave immediately upon Ranran’s arrival. However, he departed quite quickly. Could MO Zixuan have been possessed?”

“Possessed?”

MO Xiuchen snorted with a cold laugh, “Three nights ago, Xiao Wenqing brought home an unconscious MO Zixuan. He was carried upstairs by two

“What do you mean by that?”

Bai Xiaoxiao stared at MO Xiuchen with a puzzled expression.

Laughing lightly, Luo Haofeng said, “We can’t be sure yet. MO Zixuan is undoubtedly behaving strangely. We’ll keep observing to figure out if he’s pretending, or if he has genuinely lost his feelings for Wen Ran.”

The phrase ‘lost his feelings’ made Wen Ran’s eyebrows furrow slightly. It wasn’t that she wanted MO Zixuan to keep liking her, but it reminded her of a few days ago when MO Zixuan had called her, anxiously asking her not to believe Zhou Lin’s nonsense.

Could he have moved on in just a few days?

Anyone would find such a suggestion unbelievable.

However, she wasn’t interested in MO Zixuan’s behavior. After finishing the small cake in her hand, she picked up another dessert to taste, and handed one to MO Xiuchen: “You two should also help eat some. Xiaoxiao and I can’t finish all these. As for Zixuan, don’t bother worrying about him.”

Her voice paused for a beat before she dismissively added, “He called me just a few days ago. To claim that he’s changed in such a short period, I don’t buy it. He isn’t the type to pretend, either. Unless he’s lost his memory and forgotten about me..”
