Chapter 641: 640 wants to make you feel heartache for a while

“Ranran, what are you looking for?”

At the dining table, Wen Ran’s chopsticks were flipping around in her plate, causing Mo Xiuchen who was next to her to look puzzled.

Wen Ran blinked in confusion, and said seriously, “I am looking for the piece of meat from your hand.”

Mo Xiuchen was taken aback, then laughed, stretching his hand out to her generously, looking at her with affection, “Here, bite wherever you want.”

“Xiuchen, I just can’t understand, how could you cut your hand while chopping vegetables, this kind of mistake doesn’t seem like something you would make.”

Wen Ran, with wide-opened eyes, stared curiously at his finger, which was covered with a band-aid, but she had no idea how severe the cut was.

Mo Xiuchen served the food into her bowl, teasing her, “I cut my hand on purpose to make you feel sorry for me, but not only were you not sorry, you were looking for meat in your plate to eat. Ranran, you’ve hurt my feelings.”

Wen Ran chuckled, “I thought you were cutting meat for me to eat, so I was looking eagerly. Actually, I do feel sorry, here let me blow on it.”

Saying that, she grabbed his hand and blew gently on his finger covered with the band-aid, then cooed and giggled, “Good, it doesn’t hurt now, right?”

Mo Xiuchen was left amused yet speechless by her antics.

After lunch, Wen Ran would not let Mo Xiuchen do the dish-washing. Instead, she made him sit in a chair while she gathered up the utensils and took them into the kitchen to clean.

Mo Xiuchen watched her retreating figure for a moment, stood up, entered the kitchen, hugged her waist from behind, and whispered in her ear, “Ranran, I love you.”

Wen Ran’s body stiffened, and her movements paused.

She silently pursed her lips, suppressing her surging emotions, pretending to brush him off annoyedly, “Stop fooling around, I’m washing the dishes. You go out and pick some cherries for me. I will eat them when I’m finished.”

Mo Xiuchen chuckled softly in her ear, his voice gentle and affectionate, “Alright, I will go pick cherries for you, and I promise to find the sweetest ones.”

Listening to his retreating steps fading at the living room entrance, two tears rolled down from Wen Ran’s eyes, sliding all the way down her fair cheeks. She raised her hand, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and forced a tenacious smile.

That afternoon, Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen ate a lot of cherries.

Mo Xiuchen didn’t allow her to climb the tree. Instead, he climbed the tree, she pointed out which cherries she wanted and he picked them.

They went around all the cherry trees in the villa from front to back until dusk, before they stopped.

Back in the living room, the two snuggled on the couch, watching TV and continuing to eat cherries. Wen Ran said with a smile, “Xiuchen, when we go back tomorrow, let’s pick all the ripe cherries, and bring them back for Xiaoxiao, Sister Ting, and Sister Li… ”

As she was listing out all the people to give to, Mo Xiuchen remained silent, only watching her with a smile.

When she had finished listing everyone and had confirmed the number of people, he finally spoke, “Alright, if we don’t have enough, we can buy some from someone else’s house.”

In this area, every household has cherry trees. There’s even a cherry orchard in the village upfront. There’s no shortage of cherries.

Wen Ran fed a cherry into Mo Xiuchen’s mouth, lifted her small face to look at him, and whispered softly, “Xiuchen, you should start your work at City C starting from next Monday.”

Mo Xiuchen was slightly taken aback, “Are you kicking me out?”

“Yes, I am kicking you out.” Wen Ran chuckled, with both her eyebrows and eyes curved in a smile, “Looking at my current health condition, I think it would be better for us to be apart. It will save us both from suffering.”

By suffering, she meant no intimacy.

Xiuchen’s eyes slightly changed, the hand that was draped over her shoulder tensed up slightly, “Ranran!”

Wen Ran’s smile was slightly shy, but she was staring straight at him, “Xiuchen, this kind of thing is not only hard for you, but it’s also hard for me. Having such a handsome man next to me whom I can only look at but can’t touch. It might be better for us to be apart for a while. Besides, the pharmaceutical factory has been quite busy recently.”

“Ranran, can you bear to be apart from me?”

Mo Xiuchen asked gently, a faint smile dawning on his lips.

“What’s there to feel bad about? It’s not like it’s too far. You can come back every weekend to see me and call me once a day. You are not allowed to be intimate with other women in City C and you mustn’t do anything that would betray me.”

Wen Ran sat upright, counting off her conditions on her fingers, just like any other wife that is worried about her husband being tempted when working in another city.

Mo Xiuchen solemnly promised, “Ranran, I will remember everything you said. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything that will betray you.”

“Also, don’t work too late.”

Wen Ran tilted her head in thought, then added another condition.

“Alright, no overtime.”

Wen Ran smiled contentedly, “That’s settled then, you go to City C on Monday, and I will continue working at the pharmaceutical factory. By the way, is Luo Haofeng also going to City C with you?”

I wonder how things are going with him and Bai Xiaoxiao?

The day after they returned from A City, Xiaoxiao’s mother sought out Luo Haofeng for a talk, very clearly telling him that she didn’t agree with his relationship with Xiaoxiao and hoped he would let go.

Luo Haofeng neither agreed nor let Xiaoxiao know about her mother’s meeting with him.

Wen Ran heard about it from Mo Xiuchen. She had a phone call with Bai Xiaoxiao during these two days, and from Xiaoxiao’s tone, it seemed her mother had also sternly warned her.

She is currently having a cold war with her mother.

Mo Xiuchen flashed a gentle smile, saying mildly, “Ah Feng isn’t going yet, he decides to stay in G City for the time being, he’ll head over after a while.”

“Is he staying in G City for Xiaoxiao?”

Wen Ran asked curiously.

Mo Xiuchen picked a handful of cherries from the plate, fed one into her mouth, and explained,

“Half of the reason is for Bai Xiaoxiao, the other half is for work. His family’s company has an office here, his father has always been hoping for him to come back to their family company, so he’s staying at the office for now.”

“Oh.”

“Ranran, today when we were in the hospital, I received a call from my father, he wants us to go back for dinner.”

Mo Xiuchen changed the topic, saying placidly.

“Ah, if he wants us to go back for dinner, does he want you to return to work for the company?”

Wen Ran asked in surprise, Mo Xiuchen’s long finger traced along her face, along her eyebrow, saying softly, “Yes, Mo Zixuan has made a mess of the company, my father has also guessed our relationship with ‘Hao Chen’, hence he called, asking both me and you to go back for dinner.”

“Ranran, I have no intention of going back to the company, so, we don’t have to go back to see him. After I go to City C, if he calls you, you don’t have to pay attention to him. I’m afraid he might do something to hurt you.”

Wen Ran held the finger that was tracing over her eyebrow. “Don’t worry. I won’t pay attention to him. When you leave, wouldn’t Qing Feng and Qing Yang be around? I’ll ask them to pick me up and drop me off every day, so you don’t have to worry.”

Mo Xiuchen lifted her hand to his lips, gently kissing the palm of her hand. “Ranran, once I get there, I will call you every day.”
