Chapter 85 - 85: No need to bring her

MO Xiuchen watched the rich changes in her expression and asked with certainty.

Wen Ran blinked, gave a dry laugh, and said, “Er, er, I just realized I need to use the bathroom, I’ll go there first!”

Her words fell, and she struggled to escape.

“You just went to the bathroom before your shower.”

MO Xiuchen tightened his hold on her shoulder, and with a turn, he pinned her down.

“MO Xiuchen! ”

Wen Ran shouted in surprise, looking at him with panicked eyes.

MO Xiuchen deliberately pressed his waist down, Wen Ran stiffened underneath him, no longer daring to move.

“Don’t worry, I won’t touch you tonight.”

Feeling the person under him stiffen, not daring to blink as she looked at him, MO Xiuchen softened and reassured her.

Just as Wen Ran started to relax, he added, “I’ll give you another week to prepare. Is that enough?”

Wen Ran blushed, unsure how to respond. She wasn’t the type of girl who was particularly open about such matters; even after three months of dating MO Zixuan, they had only held hands and hadn’t kissed.

Even though she knew if it were not for MO Xiuchen’s condition, she wouldn’t still be a virgin. But even the obligations of a married woman couldn’t ease her nervousness.

“On the way back earlier, didn’t you say you had something to tell me? What is

MO Xiuchen waited for a while, then seeing her blush, struggling to say

“enough,” he changed the subject,

“Could we talk about it when you get off me?”

With the change in topic, Wen Ran came back to life. But lying pressed under him, feeling his heated body temperature, her thinking was clouded, making it impossible to converse reasonably.

Seeing her struggling, a light of thought crossed MO Xiuchen’s eyes. He too wasn’t comfortable in this intimate embrace. His self-control, which he used to be proud of, easily crumbled in front of Wen Ran,

Be it a kiss, an embrace, or even any of her movements, all could make his heart flutter. In recent times, he felt like he had become a different person.

Pulling her upright onto the bed, he grabbed a glass of water from the bedside table and took a sip. The heat that had risen in his body due to her, was gradually subdued, his voice wasn’t as hoarse as before, it was gentle and low while uttering “Go ahead.”

Wen Ran had finally managed to calm her racing heart, her face still blushed under the crystal lamp light, made it look like premium jade, stirringly beautiful.

“I need to go on a business trip to F City on Thursday, there’s a pharmaceutical tradeshow on Friday.”

“Is that it?”

MO Xiuchen gave a crooked smile, thinking it was something serious. He was aware of the tradeshow on Friday, MS Group’s affiliated pharmaceutical factory would be at the tradeshow and Ah Feng would attend.

As for him, he couldn’t go. He was in charge of the ongoing construction project at the Commercial Trade Building and would be quite busy for a while.

“Hmm”

Wen Ran nodded. She wanted to inform him about this on the way home, but he insisted to talk about it after reaching home.

“How many days for the business trip? Are you the only one going?”

“Not just me, my brother instructed me to take Sister Li along, and two more people. Zhou Mingfu had a car accident this afternoon, he traveled with us for these tradeshows, but he can’t go this year. He told me to take Zhou Lin with us.”

Wen Ran had unknowingly started to trust MO Xiuchen completely and shared everything about her work with him.

A thoughtful look crossed MO Xiuchen’s eyes, and he calmly said, “There’s no need to take Zhou Lin along. Just select two capable subordinates from the company.”

It wasn’t that he was worried about Zhou Mingfu placing Zhou Lin by Wen Ran’s side, but that if Zhou Lin went, MO Zixuan might also make an excuse to go along. Even if Wen Ran was no longer responsive to MO Zixuan, he didn’t want that man to be around her.

“Hmm, my brother said the same thing. I don’t want to take Zhou Lin along either. I’ll find an excuse to decline her.”

A bright smile bloomed on Wen Ran’s face. Her sparkling eyes caught MO Xiuchen’s attention again. His gaze deepened, and he softly said, “If there’s nothing else, let’s go to sleep.”

“Okay!”

Wen Ran softly agreed, and when she lay down, she subtly moved to the side.

MO Xiuchen saw her tactics, a warm smile rose at the corner of his mouth. He stretched out his long arm and pulled her back. Feeling the person in his arms stiffen up, he sighed softly, breathed onto her ear, “A week will pass quickly.

You need to get accustomed quicklv.”

Wen Ran shivered at his touch, her cheeks turned completely red. MO Xiuchen found her blushing and nervous expression amusing and gave a low chuckle. He grabbed the remote and turned off the bright crystal lamp. The bedroom was instantly cloaked in darkness.

G City, People’s Hospital in the afternoon

Zhou Lin sat in front of the hospital bed, peeling an apple, angrily said, “Dad, Wen Ran clearly doesn’t respect you, she assigned somebody else to take over my tasks, and is taking them along to F city for the pharmaceutical tradeshow.”

“You’re upset because of this?”

Zhou Mingfu laughed out loud, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.

Confused, Zhou Lin asked, “Shouldn’t I be angry? If you hadn’t got into an accident and broken your leg, wouldn’t you have also been part of the tradeshow?”

“I knew she wouldn’t let you go. Ah Lin, it’s good that you’re upset, you should be. But remember, this anger is meant for Wen Ran to see, not for you to actually feel.”

Zhou Lin paused her action of peeling the apple, she looked at Zhou Mingfu in astonishment, “Dad, I don’t understand what you mean..”
