Chapter 648: 647 Ranran, Ranran.....

“Mo Xiuchen!”

Wen Ran’s eyes changed, her voice full of an underlying unease. She seemed to be heavily suppressing her inner panic, not wanting him to detect it.

And indeed, Mo Xiuchen didn’t notice.

A bout of dizziness hit him. His mind went blank for that instant, but upon hearing Wen Ran call his name, he softened his facial expression, doing his best to prevent her from seeing his discomfort.

His lips curled into a gentle, indulgent smile. He lightly tapped her shoulder, and after a moment, said in a husky voice, “Ranran, it’s getting late, how about having breakfast then you taking me to the airport?”

He spoke so slowly. Wen Ran nodded heavily. In her gleaming eyes which were bright with laughter, a trace of moisture flashed by.

She jumped out of his embrace, said ‘I’m going to use the restroom’ , got out of bed, and darted into the restroom.

Mo Xiuchen closed his eyes again, and when he opened them, the discomfort finally receded. He looked at the restroom, zoning out for a moment, but Wen Ran still hadn’t emerged.

He straightened his clothes, got up from the bed, walked to the restroom, and knocked gently, “Ranran!”

“Hmm.”

Through the door panel, he couldn’t discern any emotion from Wen Ran’s voice. Mo Xiuchen pursed his lips and then joked, “Did you fall into the toilet?”

After about a minute, Wen Ran opened the door, laughing, “Early in the morning, and you actually hope I’d fall into the toilet.”

Mo Xiuchen’s gaze focused on her slightly red eyes. His pupils shimmered, but before he could speak, Wen Ran said, “Mo Xiuchen, actually, I will really miss you. Just thinking about you going to City C and us being apart, it makes me want to cry.”

Before she could finish speaking, Mo Xiuchen suddenly pulled her into his arms.

Wen Ran stiffened for a moment, then softened, leaning against his chest.

“Ranran, Ranran…”

He softly called out to her with a husky, tender voice full of unspeakable melancholy and reluctance. Hearing such a tender call, Wen Ran felt an invisible needle pierce her heart. It was a pain unseen yet so breathtakingly potent.

She bit her lip, suppressing the emerging tears in her eyes. She stepped away from his embrace, tilted her little face upward, and brightened her face with a radiant smile. “Mo Xiuchen, you’re not allowed to say that you’ll miss me too. Let’s go, let’s go downstairs for breakfast.”

Mo Xiuchen smirked, “Alright, I won’t say it.”

They walked downstairs hand-in-hand. Before they even entered the kitchen, Wen Ran smelt something burnt. She frowned immediately, exclaiming “Oh dear”, and looked back at Mo Xiuchen.

Mo Xiuchen smiled charmingly at the corner of his mouth. He said gently, “Ranran, wait for me for a few minutes. I’ll make you an omelette.”

Saying that, he walked over briskly, washed his hands, dumped out the burnt egg in the pan, rinsed the pan, and started to fry a new egg.

Wen Ran stood by the side, quietly admiring Mo Xiuchen’s focused and charming manner. It wasn’t long before a pleasant fragrance wafted into the air.

Mo Xiuchen turned around and gave her a smile, “Ranran, could you take out the porridge?”

“Okay!”

Wen Ran happily responded and walked over to serve the porridge.

10 minutes later, they sat at the breakfast table with a bowl of porridge in front of each of them. On the table was the eggfried by Mo Xiuchen, alongside some vegetables.

“Ranran, this one’s for you.”

Mo Xiuchen picked up a golden egg with a rich aroma and placed it on Wen Ran’s plate.

She returned a radiant smile and said, “Thanks.” She then picked up her chopsticks, also grabbed an egg for him and said, “Return the favor. Honey, you’ve worked hard. Eat more.”

Mo Xiuchen’s eyes deepened, touched by her words. His smiling lips curled even more.

Throughout breakfast, Wen Ran ate joyously while Mo Xiuchen maintained a smile on his face.

After breakfast, Mo Xiuchen went upstairs to fetch his suitcase from last night. Wen Ran stood in front of the potted plant by the stairs. Seeing him coming down, she immediately broke into a smile and took his arm.

Outside, Qing Yang and Qing Feng had already driven out of the garage and were waiting at the villa entrance, alongside Little Liu.

Seeing them come out, all three exchanged glances. Little Liu briskly approached and said respectfully, “Young Master, let me carry your suitcase.”

Mo Xiuchen handed Little Liu his suitcase and turned towards the car. He then slowed down, his handsome face showing a slight smile. His eyes tenderly rested on Wen Ran’s face.

“Young Master Mo, Miss Wen, please get in.”

They arrived in front of the commercial vehicle, and Qing Feng already had the door open, grinning as he gestured for them to get in.

“Qing Feng, Qing Yang, while I’m not in G City, you’ll have to protect Ranran. She’ll be in your care for commuting.”

Qing Feng immediately put on a serious face and promised, “Young Master Mo, rest assured. We won’t let Miss Wen lose a single hair, let alone let any men with impure motives approach her.”

Wen Ran chuckled and glared at him, “Where did this ‘man with impure motives’ come from.”

Mo Xiuchen also laughed, but he found reassurance in Qing Feng’s promise, “Ranran, get in the car.”

With Little Liu staying at home, and escorted by Qing Feng and Qing Yang, Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen sat at the back of the car. She leaned against him, and their hands, fully interlocked with each other’s, were quiet. The atmosphere was peaceful and heartwarming.

Regarding the fact that Mo Xiuchen is going alone to City C and Wen Ran is staying in G City, the people around them were puzzled, perplexed, and worried. But no one had a definitive answer.

Even Mo Xiuchen didn’t know why Wen Ran was doing this, but Wen Ran knew why he didn’t want her to accompany him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But that doesn’t matter.

She is willing to wait for him at home, waiting for him to come back!

They arrived at the airport. Wen Ran looked at Mo Xiuchen with a composed smile and whispered, “Mo Xiuchen, I won’t get out of the car or send you in. I’m afraid I’ll be upset by seeing you pass through security.”

Her voice was so soft that was drowned out by the noise of Qing Feng opening the car door. Neither Qing Feng nor Qing Yang in the front seats heard her.

The man sitting next to her, Mo Xiuchen, was emotionally affected by this. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he leaned down to give her a kiss on the forehead before agreeing, “Okay, you don’t have to go in. I’ll call you when I get there.”

Wen Ran nodded heavily, her eyes glowing with a bright smile. All her reluctance was buried deep in her heart.

“If you’re too busy, don’t call me every day. Once every three to five days, or even just a text message, is enough.”

Wen Ran thought for a while and added another reminder.

Mo Xiuchen was slightly taken aback. His deep eyes narrowed, “Ranran, are you…”

She cut him off, “Nothing… I just want to try how long we can go without seeing each other or talking on the phone, just missing each other, without our feelings fading.”

She interrupted him with a smile, “Anyway, I trust you completely. You don’t need to report to me every day. You should be happy about that. So, please don’t look so upset, okay?”
