Chapter 205: What I can’t stand the most, are her nails.
Translator: 549690339
“Of course, I want to!”
Bai Xiaoxiao stared at Luo Haofeng with a serious face, pursed her lips, softened her tone, and said plaintively, “Isn’t this what you asked for, Mr. Luo? I tried so hard to dress myself up to please you. But if you don’t like it, I can change back. What do you think?”
“Change back, change back!”
Luo Haofeng waved his hands repeatedly. Seeing her in such a state, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to eat a mouthful. Initially, he wanted to laugh at her, but instead he was made a fool of by this outrageous woman.
Watching her humming a tune as she left the hall, he exhaled a sigh against her retreating figure, thinking vindictively that he would get back at her for today’s affront.
When Bai Xiaoxiao’s phone call came in, Wen Ran and MO Xiuchen had just finished lunch and were getting ready to head back.
She bent over to dig out her phone. MO Xiuchen tilted slightly, fastening her seatbelt for her. His gaze stayed on her, full of warmth. She could feel his unusual demeanor today.
Ever since he kissed her in the office and said those words ‘Ranran, I love you’, his eyes were always filled with tenderness when he looked at her; her face blushed slightly under his gaze.
Slim fingers hit the answer button, her voice gently slipping past her red lips, “Hello, Xiaoxiao! ”
Whenever Bai Xiaoxiao called her, it would usually be to report the situation. Without asking, Wen Ran knew Bai Xiaoxiao would tell her spontaneously. “Ranran, I’ve got good news. Luo Haofeng is no longer an issue.”
Wen Ran chuckled lightly, her voice colored with delight, “Oh really? How did you manage that, you didn’t throw yourself at him, did you?”
She remembered Luo Haofeng’s odd proposition and thought about the photo
Bai Xiaoxiao had sent at noon. It was a picture of her after she applied makeup. If not for their many years of friendship, Wen Ran wouldn’t even have recognized her. That garish and tawdry woman was actually Bai Xiaoxiao. “Haha, it wasn’t like that. He stopped the game out of fright. Luo Haofeng has promised he won’t play any more tricks. Ranran, I’m pretty amazing, aren’t I!”
Wen Ran’s eyes narrowed slightly. Luo Haofeng voluntarily admitted defeat and even promised to sign the contract? It seemed he could not endure Bai Xiaoxiao’s enchantment. However, even though he admitted defeat, he certainly wouldn’t surrender easily!
“Mm, you did well. Just don’t celebrate too early. I think Luo Haofeng, after being toyed with by you, won’t just let it go.”
“So I only have to greet him with a smile and not give him a black face? From now on, I’ll avoid seeing him altogether.”
“So Bai Xiaoxiao handled Ah Feng?”
After she ended the call, MO Xiuchen asked gently.
Wen Ran smiled at him, saying, “So Xiaoxiao claims. Luo Haofeng doesn’t know that, though Xiaoxiao isn’t an actress, she loves to play roles. No matter what role she’s playing, she’ll be immersed. This noon, she made herself up like a silly and flirtatious woman, and it wouldn’t just be for show. She must’ve acted in a way that Luo Haofeng found unbearable.”
“What Ah Feng probably couldn’t stand the most were her sharp, knife-like fingernails. Bai Xiaoxiao is cunning for sure.”
MO Xiuchen chuckled lightly. Bai Xiaoxiao had sent a photo at noon and both were having lunch. Having seen the photo, naturally, he noticed her nails. Luo Haofeng, it seemed, had finally met his match. Perhaps, there might be upcoming drama to watch.
With this thought, MO Xiuchen’s eyes emitted a mysterious smile. It would be justified to pay a little attention to Ah Feng’s predicament once they returned to the office.
On Saturday, MO Jingteng joined a tour group for an overseas trip without bringing anyone along, except for some medicine.
Xiao Wenqing wanted to join him, but as he was firmly against it, and she hadn’t yet succeeded in persuading MO Zixuan and Zhou Lin to get a marriage license, she decided to stand down.
MO Xiuchen had to go on a business trip. Early in the morning, MO Xiuchen kissed Wen Ran goodbye and, incidentally, took his father to the airport, making him the only person to see him off.
Wen Ran was woken up by the ring of her phone.
Last night, she had a severe stomachache before her period, and MO Xiuchen personally made her a bowl of brown sugar water, and also bought a hot water bag for her.
He even asked, didn’t she say previously that her menstrual cramps weren’t severe? Then why was it so painful now?
After drinking the brown sugar water, the pain did not immediately subside. Holding the hot water bag, she was still unable to sleep. MO Xiuchen sat by her, quietly. If she couldn’t fall asleep, neither would he.
Knowing that he had to rush to the airport early the next day, Wen Ran urged him to sleep. But he just smiled in return, his large hand gently caressed her soft and delicate hands, reassuring in a soft tone, “It’s alright, I’ll be able to wake up.”
Wen Ran didn’t want him to spend the night with her in pain, so she pretended to be at ease, saying the pain in her stomach was gone, and she wasn’t feeling unwell anymore.
MO Xiuchen had been busy with work these days, but he never forgot to spare time for her. After hearing her say she wasn’t in pain anymore, he gave her a light peck on the forehead and embraced her. Soon after, he fell asleep.
Held by him, Wen Ran didn’t dare to move, even when he fell asleep.
She didn’t even turn over, maintaining the same position and, under the soft light, quietly gazed at his peaceful sleeping face.
Thinking back to the word he’d said in her office at noon, Wen Ran felt an outpouring of happiness.
Watching him, thinking about him, she didn’t know when she had drifted off to sleep in his arms.
The phone call in the morning was from Shen Yuting, asking her to go shopping together.
Wen Ran wanted to decline, but she had promised Shen Yuting a couple of days ago, and since she was going on a business trip tomorrow to give a talk in a different city, she agreed to go with her.
Half an hour later, a black Maserati stopped in front of the European style villa in the suburbs. The person who arrived wasn’t only Shen Yuting, surprisingly, there was also Gu Kai.
Noticing Wen Ran’s surprised look, Gu Kai smiled and said, “I happened to be off today and heard that Yuting had plans to go shopping with you, so I took the initiative to come and be your bodyguard and driver. Ranran, you wouldn’t reject me, would you?”
Ever since he found out yesterday that Wen Ran was his long-lost sister, Gu Kai’s emotions hadn’t settled.
If it wasn’t for his busy schedule at the hospital yesterday, where he had to stay in the operating room until 10 pm, he would definitely have seen her. As a result, he didn’t sleep well last night.
Seeing her now, his emotions were surging.
The woman standing in front of him was still Wen Ran, but she was different.
In the past, he had felt an inexplicable fondness for her, he saw his little sister in her and inevitably hoped to treat her well. But at that time, her status was only that of MO Xiuchen’s wife, Wen Jin’s sister.
Despite calling him “Older Brother Gu” , they had no relation.
Being nice to her would make MO Xiuchen jealous.
But now, he can treat her kindly without any reservations, at least he doesn’t have to worry about MO Xiuchen, that possessive man, perceiving him as a threat.
He must suppress his emotions so that she doesn’t notice anything unusual. MO Xiuchen and Wen Jin both disagree with him meeting Ranran to recognize her formally, so all he could do was endure it.
Moreover, he hadn’t even told his cousin, Shen Yuting, yet..
