Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict-Chapter 503 - : 502 If Wen Ran acts as bait
Chapter 503: 502 If Wen Ran acts as bait
Mo Zixuan intently observed the changing expressions on Xiao Wenqing’s face, noticing the fleeting sense of loss in her eyes. Though she quickly masked it, he had already caught it, and didn’t forget to twist the knife in further.
“He really said that?”
Xiao Wenqing, whose head had just dropped, jerked up, looking at Mo Zixuan with shocked eyes.
She didn’t believe it, Wu Tianyi hadn’t said that before. Although she wasn’t very happy when he wanted to leave her, he said it wouldn’t be too conspicuous, and he still had things to do. He would let her stay there safely, out of the police’s reach.
Mo Zixuan frowned and said displeasedly, “Mom, do you think I need to lie to you? It’s Wu Tianyi who found Tong Shishi and asked her to lure Wen Ran out. He said he wants to take Wen Ran abroad to look for Fu Jingyi.”
Xiao Wenqing’s expression changed again and again.
She didn’t believe what Mo Zixuan said before, but she had no choice but to believe his last few words.
She hadn’t told him that Fu Jingyi was abroad. If Wu Tianyi hadn’t sought Tong Shishi, he couldn’t possibly know that Wu Tianyi planned to take Wen Ran abroad to look for Fu Jingyi.
Could it be that Wu Tianyi really decided to go abroad on his own and no longer cared about her?
“Mom, men cannot be relied on. Even if Wu Tianyi used to like you, he only did then. It doesn’t mean he will love you for a lifetime. Besides, now that you’re here, he will naturally not take risks for you. Your money is all with him. With money, what pretty woman can’t he get?”
Mo Zixuan added more fuel to the fire and then softened his tone, saying, “Mom, don’t think about these unhappy things. No matter how others treat you, you still have me. I have hired the best lawyer to defend you. Furthermore, these past few days, I have been trying to negotiate with Mo Xiuchen, hoping he can let you go.”
“Mom, try the crab today and see how it tastes.”
Xiao Wenqing wanted to say something, but Mo Zixuan passed her a crab.

In a restaurant downtown
Luo Haofeng, Qin Mu, and Mo Xiuchen were having lunch together. Without Wen Ran, the three big men became silent.
“Xiuchen, any progress with Mo Zixuan?”
Qin Mu broke the silence, looking at Mo Xiuchen, whose brows were cold and fierce.
Hearing this, Mo Xiuchen collected his thoughts, looked up at him casually, and said lightly, “Not yet. Today is Xiao Wenqing’s birthday. He brought food to celebrate with her in hopes of achieving some results.”
“If there was a way to force out Fu Jingyi and Wu Tianyi, it would be great.” Luo Haofeng picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, biting hard as if it were Fu Jingyi and Wu Tianyi.
Qin Mu pressed his lips and continued, “This situation of enemies hidden while we’re exposed is terrible. In the past, at least we knew where Wu Tianyi was, and how to deal with him. But now, we don’t even know where he’s hiding, let alone how to force him out.”
“He’s not stupid. How would he show up at this time? I’m afraid even if we exhaust all means, he won’t appear.”
“There’s a way!”
Luo Haofeng swallowed the food in his mouth and suddenly raised his voice.
“What way?”
Qin Mu furrowed his brows. He felt instinctively that Luo Haofeng’s idea wouldn’t be a good one.
Mo Xiuchen paused as he picked up his chopsticks. His long eyes squinted, waiting for Luo Haofeng to continue.
Being stared at by Qin Mu and Mo Xiuchen in such a way, Luo Haofeng gave a wry smile and said, “Forget it. I know you guys won’t agree even if I say it.”
“Then don’t say it.”
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes suddenly darkened, giving him a warning glance, then picked up his chopsticks and put food in his mouth.
Qin Mu’s eyes flashed, instantly understanding what Luo Haofeng’s plan was. He couldn’t help but glare at him as well.
Luo Haofeng pouted innocently, “I haven’t even said what it is yet. Why did you two glare at me like that? Ah Mu, it makes sense for Xiuchen to glare at me, but why are you following him?”
“So, what’s your plan?”
Qin Mu coldly chuckled, his expression clearly indicating if you dare to speak, you will die horribly.
Luo Haofeng feigned fear and trembled. Seeing Mo Xiuchen’s gloomy face, he was a little timid, but at the same time, he couldn’t bear being looked down upon by Qin Mu. He braced himself and said:
“What’s there to be afraid of? The plan I came up with is the most effective. Didn’t Fu Jingyi call to warn Uncle Gu, advising him to keep an eye on Ah Kai and Wen Ran? Ah Kai is useless to him, but Wen Ran must be useful to him. If we use Wen Ran as bait…”
“I was just saying, just talking about it, Xiuchen, you don’t have to take it seriously.”
Luo Haofeng felt a chill in his heart as Mo Xiuchen’s knife-like gaze shot at him, he wisely shut up.
Qin Mu snorted coldly, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Using Wen Ran as bait was an idea that he could think of, but Unprecedented as well
knows how important Ranran is to Mo Xiuchen, even if he’s out of options, he won’t agree to risking the woman he loves to flush out Wu Tianyi and Fu Jingyi.
Mo Xiuchen took his eyes back, put down his chopsticks, leaned back in his chair, took out his mobile phone, and habitually dialed Wen Ran’s number.
When the call connected, he suddenly remembered that Ranran didn’t want to deal with him now. His gaze dimmed, and the hand holding the phone tightened. His eyes stared at the screen of the phone, hoping she would answer his call.
At a restaurant near the hospital, Wen Ran was dining accompanied by her father, her brother, and Bai Xiaoxiao.
Her phone was on vibrate mode, buzzing non-stop in her pocket. Even though it was just a vibrating sound, others in the box could hear it.
Seeing that she had no intention of answering the call, Bai Xiaoxiao reminded her in a low voice, “Ranran, your phone is ringing.”
Wen Ran smiled and then put down her chopsticks to take out her phone. Seeing the caller ID on the screen, the center of her brows furrowed. She was about to put her phone back in her pocket when Gu Yan, sitting across from her, spoke, “Ranran, isn’t that Xiuchen’s call? You can’t always avoid him. Even if you insist on divorcing him, you two are still husband and wife right now. Both in terms of feelings and principles, you should answer his call.”
“Okay.”
Wen Ran was reluctant, but Gu Yan was her father. If she refused to answer after him saying that, it would completely disrespect him. She could only hesitanly press the answer button and replied with an indifferent voice, “Hello!”
“Ranran, have you eaten yet?”
On the other end of the phone, Mo Xiuchen’s undeniably delighted voice came through, clear and pleasant.
“I’m eating. What about you?”
Wen Ran, whether infected by him or unwilling to pour cold water on his joy, spoke in a calm and gentle tone.
“Ah Mu, Ah Feng, and I have just eaten. Are you with dad, and Ah Kai? Which restaurant are you in?”
She was not surprised by his question. She had come to the hospital with Qing Feng and Qing Yang, and Mo Xiuchen would definitely know.
“We’re at a restaurant near the hospital. You’ve already eaten so you should go back to the company and rest. You still have to work in the afternoon!”
