Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 724: 723 As long as Mo Xiuchen returns to the country,

“Qin Mu, the fruit trees and flower seedlings I bought from A City have arrived. I will be going to the countryside soon, and it might take three or four days for me to return, hence I won’t be able to visit you in these few days.”

Wen Ran said as she sat in the chair in front of the sick bed, looking at Qin Mu with a smile as he ate breakfast.

His long eyes flashed with a hint of surprise at her words.

Lowering his gaze, he spoke soothingly, “That’s okay, the ward might not be quiet these few days anyway. Uncle Ming called last night and said he would be coming today. He had been wanting Mo Xiuchen’s help for some matters, but everyone has been too busy lately. And now, Mo Xiuchen has lost his memory… Are you going to the countryside alone? You must be careful on the road, or better yet, let the driver take you there.”

When Wen Ran’s facial expression slightly changed upon the mention of Mo Xiuchen, Qin Mu immediately changed the topic.

Wen Ran’s emotional change was just fleeting.

She quickly returned to her calm and gentle smile, “You don’t have to worry, Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng will be going with me. The main reason it will take a few days is because Xiaoxiao plans to go home with Luo Haofeng tomorrow. As you know, Aunt Qiao has never allowed them to be together. Xiaoxiao is going behind Aunt Qiao’s back this time.”

Qin Mu, being so sharp-minded, immediately understood the reason when Wen Ran finished saying this.

Realizing, he chuckled, “So, you are going to cover for Bai Xiaoxiao?”

“Very clever!”

Wen Ran gently raised her brows, the smile in her eyes deepening.

Qin Mu didn’t argue, he was confident in his own intelligence.

After swallowing the porridge from his mouth, Qin Mu then said, “If you could wait a few more days, I could also go and help.”

Wen Ran blinked her eyes, teasingly said, “I wouldn’t dare to make use of your hard labor. Just before I left last time, Aunt told me to call her every now and then to report on your condition.”

“Actually, I will be able to be discharged from the hospital and recuperate at home after a few days.”

Qin Mu said it lightly. His injury was primarily internal, needing three to five months to fully heal.

But there wasn’t a need for him to stay in the hospital all the time.

However, Wen Ran disagreed, “Qin Mu, you should obediently stay in the hospital for a few more days. Don’t make your Uncle and Aunt Qin worry. At least there are nurses taking care of you in the hospital. But if you go home, who will take care of you when you’re alone.”

“I just need to rest; it’s not like I’ve lost my ability to take care of myself, needing someone to attend to my needs every minute.”

“Regardless, you cannot be discharged in the short term. You can only get discharged once my brother and my father have agreed.”

Wen Ran stopped smiling, her beautiful face became serious, and her tone was more determined than ever.

Looking at Wen Ran in this state, Qin Mu couldn’t help but feel warmth in his heart.

Although he couldn’t let go, he also dared not hope to have that kind of relationship with her. As long as they could remain friends forever.

Being able to see her smile frequently, receiving her occasional concern, and feeling the warmth she radiated were enough for him.

Last night, Gu Kai received a call from Brown in his ward.

Learning that Mo Xiuchen had obtained Wen Ran’s number from somewhere and asked Brown about it, he was as shocked as Gu Kai.

Thinking of this, Qin Mu’s eyes flashed and he subtly asked, “Wen Ran, I heard that Mo Xiuchen returned to G City a few days ago. Didn’t he call you?”

Wen Ran pursed her lips. Before last night, she didn’t want to tell others that Mo Xiuchen had called her.

But after hearing her brother say that Mo Xiuchen had found Brown, and having already informed her brother about it, it seemed unnecessary to keep it from Qin Mu.

After all, he and Mo Xiuchen were such good friends.

“I did receive a call from him, but that was before he returned to China, actually, it was before I went to A City.”

Qin Mu looked at her in surprise, somewhat disbelievingly, “Mo Xiuchen knows you exist?”

Mo Jingteng and Cheng Jia wouldn’t be so foolish as to tell Mo Xiuchen about Wen Ran.

Could it be that he already knew about his past marriage and Wen Ran’s existence?

Seeing Qin Mu’s puzzled face.

Wen Ran smiled slightly, saying softly, “He doesn’t know about my existence. He said he got the number from a dream. The time he made the call was around four in the morning in D Country. Maybe he dreamt of something.”

What exactly did Mo Xiuchen dream of, Wen Ran had no way of knowing.

Just those two sentences of his had been enough to toss her emotions about for several days.

Qin Mu looked shocked and glanced at Wen Ran with concern, “You didn’t tell Mo Xiuchen?”

“No.”

Wen Ran shook her head. Although her heart kept telling her that Mo Xiuchen once loved her deeply, and even if he lost his memory, he would not completely forget her, let alone get involved with Cheng Jia.

But she was afraid.

She feared that if she said it, Mo Xiuchen might not believe her.

After all, he had lost his memory, and with his temperament, he wouldn’t easily believe anyone.

“It’s good that you didn’t tell Mo Xiuchen. Although you promised Cheng Jia that you wouldn’t tell Mo Xiuchen about his past, it doesn’t mean that others won’t. As long as Mo Xiuchen returns to China, he will find out about your past relationship.”

Qin Mu didn’t want Wen Ran to feel upset, so he comforted her tenderly.

He knew how much Wen Ran loved Mo Xiuchen and how much weight she gave to the oath she had made.

Sometimes, even when you know that curses made in vows are not to be believed, many people swear on their lives and are still well and alive. But when you swear on the person you love, you will keep that promise even more than making a vow on yourself.

Wen Ran just smiled, not saying anything.

After Qin Mu finished eating breakfast, Luo Haofeng came to the hospital and Wen Ran’s phone rang.

After answering the call near the window, she turned around, interrupting their conversation, “Luo Haofeng, Xiaoxiao has called and is urging us to leave.”

Luo Haofeng nodded, then smirked teasingly, “Qin Mu, you continue to enjoy being here, we’ll visit you again in a few days.”

Qin Mu gave him a glance, “You’re going there to help. Don’t just focus on being lovey-dovey with Bai Xiaoxiao and shirk your responsibilities.”

What he implied was that now Mo Xiuchen was not around, he should take more care of Wen Ran.

“Don’t worry, Qing Feng and Qing Yang are in the countryside. Even if I don’t do anything, Wen Ran won’t be tired out.”

Luo Haofeng’s eyes swept over Wen Ran as he spoke dismissively.

Qin Mu gave a good-natured laugh, “You can’t just keep taking advantage of Qing Feng and Qing Yang. After all, Wen Ran is taking a risk by covering for you and Bai Xiaoxiao. Doesn’t that deserve some compensation?”

Wen Ran smiled without saying anything, just watching their interaction.

Luo Haofeng frowned, seemingly surprised that Qin Mu knew about this.

He turned his head to look at Wen Ran questioningly. Qin Mu, seeing that he was looking at Wen Ran, smiled even more charmingly and handsomely, “Ah Feng, there’s no point in looking at Wen Ran. For something so obvious, there’s no need for her to say anything.”

“How was that obvious? You mean it’s written on my face?”

Luo Haofeng didn’t believe that Qin Mu could guess without Wen Ran saying anything.
