Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 635: 634 Narcissism

In Wen Ran’s memory, she and Mo Xiuchen hadn’t been intimate since that unexpected night in D Country, and everything else, no matter how real, was just a dream.

Her subconscious assured herself that those were only dreams, not reality.

“Ranran.”

Mo Xiuchen called her again.

The distinct joints of his slender fingers held the blood-stained paper, the sharp contrast of red and white was rather disturbing.

However, he didn’t even glance at it, his soft gaze fixed on the woman in front of him.

Wen Ran was defeated by his gaze.

Her delicate eyebrows were still knitted, concern and defeat resided on her pretty face, and her gaze towards him hinted at a hint of struggle.

She got back on the bed anyway.

Return to her initial spot.

Seeing her got back on the bed, a sense of relief crossed Mo Xiuchen’s eyes and he let out a silent sigh.

Lowering his eyes, he glanced at the bloody tissue in his hand, his lips barely curving, he said gently,

“Ranran, you go ahead and sleep. I’ll take a shower.”

Just as he was about to get off the bed, Wen Ran grabbed his hand.

Her fingers were slender, supple, and delicate.

His, however, were slender with well-defined joints.

When their fingers met, he felt a slight tension in his heart.

His thin lips barely parted as he heard Wen Ran’s soft and low voice, “Xiuchen.”

Mo Xiuchen’s back stiffened slightly. When he turned and looked into her watery eyes, his face wore a warm smile. His chiseled features softened, radiating a gentle charm.

A man like this exuded an aristocratic and captivating aura.

His deep and magnetic voice sounded even more appealing, “Ranran, consider this time as a vacation.”

“…”

Wen Ran remained silent.

All her thoughts were reflected in her attractive eyes.

If it were a usual day, Mo Xiuchen would certainly not remain indifferent. After all, between them, he was always the one taking initiative.

But things change with time.

His gaze shifted downward, focusing on her slim fingers grasping his hand.

He gently gripped her hand in return, smiled, and told her, “Be good, go to sleep. I’ll go clean up.”

With a quick motion of his other hand, he indicated that he really needed to wash his bloody nose.

Mo Xiuchen loosened his grip, got off the bed, and walked to the bathroom.

Wen Ran watched his disappearing figure at the bathroom door, listening to the door close, followed by the sound of running water.

She held the quilt tightly, a silent moistness filling her eyes: Xiuchen, is this truly because I didn’t take good care of myself?

When Mo Xiuchen returned, Wen Ran had already lain down, her body turned inward. He wasn’t sure if she was asleep.

Dimming the light, Mo Xiuchen also got into bed. He did not lie down immediately, but propped himself against the headboard, gazing gently at Wen Ran facing away from him.

Wen Ran remained silent, and he didn’t try to break the silence either.

After a while, Wen Ran suddenly turned around, wrapping her arms around his waist, burying her face in his chest.

Mo Xiuchen’s body tensed up slightly, he slowly extended his arm and embraced her, “Ranran, let’s sleep!”

His voice was soft, filled with tenderness and affection for her. Wen Ran could feel it, but she couldn’t feel at ease. She hugged him tighter and mumbled, “Xiuchen, you sleep too.”

“Okay!”

Mo Xiuchen’s lips curled into a captivating smile. He lay down, holding her as they drifted off to sleep together.

The next day was the weekend. After breakfast, Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen brought those beauty products to Kangning Hospital.

They didn’t call Gu Kai beforehand, but he happened to be free. When Mo Xiuchen pushed open the door, they saw Gu Kai alone, lost in thought while holding a tea cup.

“Older Brother Gu!”

Gu Kai didn’t even hear the door open, only reacted when Wen Ran called him. Wen Ran laughed at the sight of his absentmindedness.

Mo Xiuchen followed behind her and gently closed the door behind them.

When Gu Kai heard the voice, he looked up and saw Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen entering the room. He got up with a smile, came out from behind his desk, and, noticing the bag in Mo Xiuchen’s hand, asked with curiosity, “Ranran, what brings you here, and what is Xiuchen holding?”

Wen Ran looked back at the bag in Xiuchen’s hand and walked over to the couch. After sitting down, she explained, “These are beauty products I bought from A City.”

Gu Kai’s eyes widened, stretching his hand to pull over the bag Mo Xiuchen was holding. He opened the bag, took out the products, and asked with a happy smile, “Ranran, did you buy these for me? Honestly, I’m already so handsome and have good skin, I don’t need these products. You should give them to Xiuchen. If he doesn’t start taking care of himself, he might grow old and you may start disliking him.”

Wen Ran smiled, “Brother, aren’t you and Xiuchen the same age? ”

Gu Kai raised his eyebrows indifferently, “We might be the same age, but he looks way older than me.”

“I never felt that way. I think Xiuchen’s skin is also very good. As for being handsome, that’s universally acknowledged.”

Wen Ran looked up, meeting Mo Xiuchen’s smiling eyes, she added, “These products are not a gift for you or for skincare.”

“Oh, if they’re not for me, who are they for?”

Gu Kai asked curiously. His gaze fell on Mo Xiuchen before resting on Wen Ran’s face.

“Ah Kai, this is a beauty product from A City that Ranran purchased. We have a close connection to the beauty salon and Fu Jingyi. Ranran overheard a conversation between the salon owner and someone from Fu Jingyi’s team and grew suspicious. She decided to buy these products and bring them back.”

Mo Xiuchen offered a brief clarification. A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Kai’s eyes, but he did not ask anything.

He unwrapped the packaging and smelled each product one by one. Looking up at Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran, he asked, “Ranran, do you suspect there is a problem with these products?”

Wen Ran chuckled and said, “At first I was in doubt whether ‘Professor Fu’ as per that woman’s words was in fact Fu Jingyi, I wasn’t sure. Therefore, I bought these products back to find any clues.”

“So, do we still need to test them now?”

“If you want to use them, then there’s no need.”

Mo Xiuchen casually replied. Gu Kai’s face soured, he huffed, “No way! I’m not touching anything researched by Fu Jingyi.”

He stared at the products for a while, casually picked one up and muttered, “Still, let’s check it out. Who knows, there might be harmful substances in the products researched by Fu Jingyi, considering the fact he’s already gone crazy to the point of being anti-humanity…”

“That beauty salon does brisk business; it’s been said that customers who get their beauty treatments done there for over a year all look five to ten years younger. That day, Xiaoxiao and I met a woman around sixty who’s their long-time customer. She looked no more than forty years old… ”

“Really, is it that magical?” Gu Kai asked doubtfully.

Wen Ran shook her head, “I’m not sure if it’s due to their products, brother, if you have time you could research them, then give them to my sister-in-law if they are effective.”
