Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict-Chapter 816 - : 815 If it were you
Chapter 816: 815 If it were you
Gu Kai chuckled lightly, “Of course I know you don’t care, but Ranran does.”
Mo Xiuchen knitted his brows, “You can still laugh at this?”
Ranran is upset, and as her brother, shouldn’t he feel distress for her? Why does he still look like he’s watching a comedy?
Faced with his question, Gu Kai’s smile grew even broader, a mischievous arch forming in his elegant brows, “Why can’t I laugh? It’s you who lost your memory, not me. You were even with Cheng Jia for so long before, making all of us worry that something might happen between you two.”
Mo Xiuchen said innocently, “That was because I’d lost my memory, and nothing happened between me and Cheng Jia.”
Pursing his lips, Mo Xiuchen added solemnly, “If it had been you, you probably would have lost more than your memory by now.”
...
Gu Kai was initially taken aback but then his lips curved into a wicked smile, “Mo Xiuchen, you really haven’t changed; even with lost memories, your tongue is still as sharp. If you’d like, I can reenact it all with you today.”
“First, tell me, why did I deceive Ranran in the first place?”
Mo Xiuchen was puzzled. Although Mo Zixuan had told him a few things, Mo Zixuan’s knowledge was limited and he couldn’t possibly have conveyed everything to him.
Gu Kai glanced at his watch, “It can’t be explained in just a sentence or two. Wait for me; I’m going to do rounds now. I’ll come back later and explain everything slowly.”
“Mm, then hurry up,” Mo Xiuchen urged without a second thought.
Gu Kai frowned, didn’t say anything more, stood up, straightened his white coat, and strode out of the office, leaving Mo Xiuchen alone to survey this familiar place he used to frequent.

At the Wen Family courtyard.
Bai Xiaoxiao asked curiously, “Ranran, exactly how did Qi Meiling bully you? Mo Xiuchen got so angry at Luo Haofeng, he said if Qi Meiling dares to provoke you again, he won’t be sentimental.”
When Luo Haofeng mimicked Mo Xiuchen’s tone over the phone, Bai Xiaoxiao was quite worried, thinking Qi Meiling really had bullied Wen Ran. Later, Luo Haofeng assured her that there was probably nothing to worry about.
That Mo Xiuchen, whenever it involved Wen Ran, he was completely unreasonable.
A warm feeling fluttered in Wen Ran’s heart because of Mo Xiuchen’s protection.
She pursed her lips and said softly, “Qi Meiling might have had that idea. She always thought I was you and warned me not to meddle with Luo Haofeng anymore. When she reached out to grab my wrist, I accidentally spilled my drink onto the front of her shirt.”
It was intentional.
Very ‘accidental.’
When Bai Xiaoxiao heard the emphasis on ‘accidental,’ a smile appeared on her face, “Then what happened? Did she attack you?”
“She didn’t get the chance; Mo Xiuchen came out.”

Wen Ran recalled last night’s events, “Mo Xiuchen saw the drink I’d spilled on her chest and assumed she had bullied me. I didn’t expect him to call Luo Haofeng.”
“Pfft—”
Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly burst into laughter.
Wen Ran rolled her eyes, “Xiaoxiao, I got on Qi Meiling’s bad side because of you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao struggled to contain her laughter, repeating, “I know, I know, but that Qi Meiling is really pitiful. She tried to steal a chicken only to lose her rice, facing both you and Mo Xiuchen.”
Wen Ran said nothing, just picked up her cup to sip her tea.
Bai Xiaoxiao continued, “Ranran, your Mo Xiuchen is really unique. If it were someone else who saw you and Qi Meiling, they would definitely think you were the bully. But he insists on believing you were wronged…”
“She was planning to act first anyway, she just didn’t get the chance.” Wen Ran said nonchalantly, her Mo Xiuchen an aberration? How could that be?
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, “Yeah, she deserved it. Ranran, weren’t you back at your and Mo Xiuchen’s place? Why are you staying here again?”
“Everywhere is my home, I take turns living in them.” Wen Ran’s answer was as light as a breeze.
Bai Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes slightly, scrutinizing her for a long while without asking any further. Instead, she changed the subject, and the two chatted for a while before setting off at eleven to meet the blind date.
It was said that the other party worked somewhere close to Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, so they agreed to meet there.
“Xiaoxiao, I still remember that weird man you met at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion for your last blind date. This one isn’t going to be as odd as him, right?”
On their way there, Wen Ran asked.
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head blankly, “I don’t know either. Ranran, or maybe you should meet him for me.”
“Nice try, do you also want me to marry him for you?” Wen Ran gave her a playful glare.
Upon arrival at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao immediately spotted the man at table number eight as per their arrangement, a buzz cut, an ordinary face, dressed in a white shirt, with a slightly plump figure, likely sporting a beer belly,
Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao exchanged glances—this man looked considerably different from his photos. Could it be they were taken years ago?
“Let’s go over and have a look.”
Wen Ran whispered, this man simply wasn’t Bai Xiaoxiao’s type.

Luo Haofeng made a last-minute decision to come to G City.
He had a phone call with Qi Meiling last night, and that woman denied mistreating Wen Ran, crying to him that Wen Ran had spilled a drink on her.
Luo Haofeng, fearing she might do something else, took advantage of his day off and bought a flight ticket to G City, partly to take Qi Meiling away and partly hoping to explain things to Bai Xiaoxiao.
This morning, before he could finish his conversation on the phone, Bai Xiaoxiao hung up on him. He could hear that her tone was off, afraid that she might have misunderstood his cohabitation with Qi Meiling that night.
After getting off the plane, Luo Haofeng called Mo Xiuchen.
Mo Xiuchen was at Kangning Hospital, having just listened to Gu Kai recount his and Ranran’s past. His emotions were turbulent, realizing he and Ranran had been through so much…
“Mo Xiuchen, that’s the whole story between you and Ranran. Back then, when she jumped off the cliff, thinking she would certainly die, she insisted my father erase your memory. She never expected Fu Jingyi’s involvement to change things to how they are now.”
Gu Kai paused, then curved his lips into a smile, trying to keep the mood light, “Mo Xiuchen, you shouldn’t be upset about the past. After all you and Ranran have been through, you’re both fine now, and that’s what matters most. As for Ranran’s emotional barriers, I believe you can break them down.”
That last sentence was sincere from Gu Kai.
He truly believed that Mo Xiuchen could do it; it was just a matter of time.
Mo Xiuchen pursed his lips, about to say something, when his phone rang. He took out his phone, saw the caller ID, frowned slightly, and answered, “Hello!”
“Mo Xiuchen, I’m back in G City. Let’s have lunch together at noon.”
The voice of Luo Haofeng came through the phone, carrying a hint of appeasing joy, probably because he felt guilty about the events of the previous night.
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes briefly flashed with depth as he calmly asked, “And where are you inviting me to lunch?”
“Let’s go to Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion. Where are you now?”
“I’m with Ah Kai.” After saying this, Mo Xiuchen switched on the speakerphone so that Gu Kai could also hear Luo Haofeng’s words.
