Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1868: Chapter 1867: I’m Afraid

When Jiang Hui received a call from Meng Ke, she had just arrived at the school gate.

She had just pressed the answer key when she heard Li Shi Yao calling her from behind, and on the other end of the phone, Meng Ke also heard it, “I’ll call you back in a while.”

“Wait a minute.”

Jiang Hui turned her head and looked at Li Shi Yao, who was walking over.

Li Shi Yao saw that her phone was held to her ear and immediately smiled, “Huihui, are you taking a call? Then go ahead.”

“You go in first, I’ll go in after I finish the call.”

Jiang Hui smiled and nodded, watching Li Shi Yao enter the school gate before she spoke, “Why did you call me?”

“Director Wei said he was being watched by the police, there’s something I need you to do for me.”

In the phone, Meng Ke’s deep voice carried a hint of chill, and on this hot summer morning, Jiang Hui felt a trace of coldness in her heart.

“…”

Not knowing what the other party said on the phone, Jiang Hui’s face changed.

The other party’s voice continued, “You find them and give them a sum of money, they will definitely do as I say.”

“Now that the police are hunting you everywhere, shouldn’t you find a place to hide instead of going back home to find Bai Xiaoxiao?”

“Just take care of what I’ve instructed you to do, don’t worry about the rest, I’m not going back home either.”

“Besides, how’s the thing I asked you to do to seduce Mo Xiuchen?”

Right as Meng Ke mentioned Mo Xiuchen, Jiang Hui couldn’t help but furrow her brows, feeling depressed.

Her tone also carried a complaint, “Mo Xiuchen isn’t so easy to seduce, besides Wen Ran, he doesn’t even glance at other women.”

“But you are not other women. Remember, your face is special to Mo Xiuchen, and your name is special to him too.”

Meng Ke sneered over the phone, he didn’t believe that Mo Xiuchen would be as indifferent to Jiang Hui’s face as to other women.

If that were true, how could Jiang Hui have entered the Haochen Group?

“I just entered the Haochen Group, Mo Xiuchen isn’t special to me in any way.”

In Jiang Hui’s mind appeared Mo Xiuchen’s cold and handsome face, his deep eyes like a pool, and her heart couldn’t help but tremble.

She had an illusion that Mo Xiuchen knew all her intentions and saw through all her thoughts.

In front of Mo Xiuchen, she dared not have any little thoughts, as if all her thoughts were exposed under his eyes.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Hui pondered over Meng Ke’s words.

As soon as she entered the school gate, her phone rang again.

This time, it was a call from her department supervisor.

After answering this call, Jiang Hui’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

Because the plan she proposed earlier was approved, and her superior asked her to go on a business trip over the weekend. Coincidentally, the city they were going to was City B.

The city she wanted to go to.

**

Haochen Group, in the top-floor president’s office.

Mo Xiuchen’s tall, imposing figure stood behind Wen Ran, his clearly defined hands gently massaging her shoulders.

A gentle smile played on his lips as he asked stubbornly, “Ranran, are you really not going on a business trip with me?”

Wen Ran pursed her lips in a light smile, her eyes fixed on the LCD screen in front of her, her work uninterrupted, “No.”

“Aren’t you afraid that Jiang Hui could really seduce me?”

Mo Xiuchen furrowed his handsome eyebrows, feeling frustrated that Wen Ran refused to go on a business trip with him.

Wen Ran stopped her work, looked up at Mo Xiuchen, who was standing behind her. He cooperatively bent down, his cool male scent lingering around her nose.

Matching Mo Xiuchen’s resentful gaze, Wen Ran lifted her hand to gently stroke his handsome face, “Xiuchen, I trust you.”

“But I’m afraid.”

“Pfft—”

Wen Ran couldn’t stop laughing, what did she just hear, Mo Xiuchen said he was afraid.

My God, is this the Mo Xiuchen she knows, afraid of being seduced by another woman?

No one would believe his words.

But Mo Xiuchen’s acting was superb, those aggrieved eyes with a hint of grievance softened Wen Ran’s heart, almost making her agree.

“Ranran.”

Mo Xiuchen frowned dissatisfiedly at Wen Ran.

He was reluctant to part from her and wanted to take her on a business trip, along with some leisure time for two days.

Yet Ranran not only refused but also laughed at him this way.

Wen Ran blinked innocently, trying to suppress her laughter, “Xiuchen, it’s not that I don’t want to go with you, but your original plan was to have Jiang Hui accompany you, right? If I went, wouldn’t that be pointless?”

“It’s all Tang Yang’s rotten idea.”

Mo Xiuchen snorted unhappily.

No matter who instructed Jiang Hui to approach him, as long as she couldn’t do anything, he didn’t care to pay attention.

But since Tang Yang asked for help in investigating, he had to assist.

“Xiuchen, Tang Yang is Qing Yang’s lifesaver. Since you agreed, don’t be upset, okay?” Wen Ran coaxed Mo Xiuchen as if consoling a child.

This man, in front of others, is a business genius, able to manipulate clouds and rain.

In front of her, he often behaved childishly. Though he’s older than her by several years, sometimes she couldn’t help but feel a tide of maternal instinct.

Mo Xiuchen kept a calm face, lips tightly pursed, not speaking.

The tenderness in Wen Ran’s eyes increased a bit, patiently saying, “It’s just a few days on a business trip, I’ll take care of the three kids at home. If you can make Jiang Hui spill everything, then you won’t have to see her anymore, right?”

“If I don’t want to see her, I can fire her immediately.”

“Since they’ve gone through such trouble, how can you just fire Jiang Hui without at least knowing who’s behind her, right?”

Unable to resist Wen Ran’s gentle words, Mo Xiuchen’s dark, handsome face softened a bit.

A cold gleam flashed in his deep eyes. Indeed, since they went to such great lengths to bring in Jiang Hui.

He must find out their purpose and who that person is.

Otherwise, how could he live up to their painstaking efforts?

“That’s more like it. If Director Wei really has issues, it’s good for Tang Yang to gather evidence early.”

“I don’t care about Director Wei. I just hope to catch Meng Ke before Ah Feng and Xiaoxiao’s wedding.”

If it weren’t for Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao, Mo Xiuchen wouldn’t have helped Tang Yang just because of his words, nor would he be threatened by his leverage of Qing Yang’s lifesaving grace.

Wen Ran nodded with a smile.

Mo Xiuchen sighed, moved to kiss Wen Ran’s face. She laughed and dodged, furrowing her eyebrows, and asked, “Xiuchen, do you really think Jiang Hui is connected to Meng Ke?”

“Whether there’s a connection or not, we’ll know one day.”

Mo Xiuchen smiled slightly, holding Wen Ran in his arms, his eyes showing firmness, whispering, “Ranran, even if it’s just a Jiang Hui who looks like her coming back to life, it won’t change anything.”
