Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2096: Chapter 2095: A Truly Troublesome Son

Ziyi said Wen Jin would be coming soon.

As soon as Wen Ran left his bedroom, she dialed Wen Jin’s number.

After two rings, Wen Jin’s voice came through.

Even over the phone, Wen Ran could sense the concern and worry in his tone. “Ranran, Ziyi just said you had a stomachache and didn’t take any medicine. What’s going on?”

“Huh?”

Wen Ran was taken aback and then explained, “I’ve already taken medicine. It might have been the snacks I ate this afternoon. I’m fine now.”

“Is Mo Xiuchen on a business trip?”

“Ziyi even told you that.” Wen Ran turned and glanced at her son’s bedroom door.

Wen Jin’s voice remained calm and gentle, “Ziyi said on the phone that his dad cheated during the marriage, took a woman’s call, and left you alone at home with a stomachache. He asked me to come over and check on you.”

“How could that be?”

Wen Ran raised her voice in surprise.

“Your stomach has always been bad. Did Mo Xiuchen take you to the hospital?”

Judging by Wen Ran’s tone, it seemed Mo Xiuchen didn’t cheat as Ziyi had exaggerated.

Wen Jin’s words shifted the focus back to Wen Ran’s health.

At this moment, Ou Yihan was sitting next to Wen Jin, observing his expression under the car’s soft, dim light as he talked on the phone.

His brows were gentle, his expression warm, and his voice conveyed undeniable concern and worry for Wen Ran. This made Ou Yihan envious of Wen Ran.

To have such a caring brother like Wen Jin.

Ahead, not far from the turning point, was her house. The car arrived at Ou Yihan’s door just as Wen Jin was finishing his call with Wen Ran.

Ou Yihan asked Wen Jin, “Is Ranran okay?”

Wen Jin smiled slightly, “She’s fine now. It was Ziyi exaggerating. Ranran has already taken medicine and is mostly recovered now.”

“That’s good.”

Ou Yihan smiled with relief, “Are you still going to Ranran’s house, or would you like to come in and sit for a while?”

“I won’t go in. Although Ranran said she’s taken medicine and is fine, since Mo Xiuchen isn’t at home, I still better go and check on her.”

“Alright then.”

Though a little disappointed, Ou Yihan said goodnight to Wen Jin before opening the car door to get out.

**

When Wen Jin arrived at the Mo family home, Wen Ran was sitting alone on the living room sofa.

“Where did Mo Xiuchen go for his business trip?”

Wen Jin took a sip of the water Wen Ran poured for him before asking with concern.

Wen Ran held the cup in her hand, “He went abroad.”

“Ziyi said Mo Xiuchen got a call from a woman who was crying on the phone. Did that really happen?”

Wen Ran frowned, “Ziyi, how did he learn to lie like this?”

“That’s good then. I thought maybe that Jiang Hui was causing trouble again. She seems to always have intentions towards Mo Xiuchen, Ranran. You shouldn’t let Mo Xiuchen keep her in the company and give her important tasks.”

Wen Jin wasn’t worried about Mo Xiuchen but found Jiang Hui a bit problematic.

The fact that Mo Xiuchen kept her around was evidence of something.

Wen Ran laughed nonchalantly, “Brother, I trust Mo Xiuchen. Besides, I’m with him every day. Even if Jiang Hui had any ideas, she couldn’t act on them, right?”

“Then what about the business trip?”

Wen Jin thought, Ziyi might have exaggerated, but he might not have completely fabricated it.

Regarding this, Wen Ran’s smile faded a little, “Originally, it was Jiang Hui who was supposed to go abroad for work. However, something happened, and tonight, she called Mo Xiuchen with the issue. But Mo Xiuchen went to handle business matters.”

“So, it seems Ziyi didn’t completely lie.”

Wen Ran’s mouth twitched, “Brother, Ziyi was already exaggerating, yet you say he didn’t entirely lie.”

“Of course, last time, Ziyi even told me that when he went to the company to find Mo Xiuchen, he saw Jiang Hui in Mo Xiuchen’s office, reporting work while dressed flamboyantly, trying to seduce his dad.”

“Why doesn’t he dare to say that to Mo Xiuchen?”

Wen Ran found it amusing, Ziyi was really good at putting his dad in a spot.

He even called his uncle saying his dad was cheating.

“In any case, you should still be careful. Don’t let that Jiang Hui have any chances. By then, crying won’t help.”

“I understand.”

Wen Ran nodded gently, knowing her brother cared about her. Mo Xiuchen was indeed too outstanding, not only admired by every female employee in the group but also pursued by many clients.

They couldn’t wait to send women to Mo Xiuchen’s side every day.

If Mo Xiuchen were like other men, indulging in revelry, it wouldn’t be useful even if she stayed with him 24 hours a day.

Wen Jin stood up, “I’ll go upstairs to check on Ziyi.”

“He’s probably asleep.”

Wen Ran also stood up, placing her cup on the coffee table.

Wen Jin decided against going upstairs and warmly advised, “Get some rest early. I’m heading home now.”

Wen Ran wanted to see Wen Jin out, but he declined.

The car hadn’t driven far when Wen Jin bumped into Gu Kai, who was returning from work.

Gu Kai stopped his car, took a few steps to Wen Jin’s car, opened the back door, and sat inside. “Ah Jin, did you go to Ranran’s house?”

“Ranran had a stomachache. Ziyi said he’d call you, but you were working overtime, so I came to check on her.” Wen Jin answered gently.

Gu Kai frowned, “Ziyi didn’t call me. Why did Ranran have a stomachache? Is she alright now?”

“She had taken medicine and was fine. Probably something she ate upset her stomach.”

Wen Jin also frowned slightly, “You mean Ziyi didn’t call you?”

“Yeah, I had surgery in the evening. Though I didn’t bring my phone, there were no missed calls.”

Gu Kai pulled out his phone to show Wen Jin.

Wen Jin fell into thought, “Why would Ziyi lie to me?”

“Ziyi lied to you?”

Gu Kai chuckled.

A brilliant smile spread across his handsome face as he looked at Wen Jin, “Tell me, brother, how did Ziyi trick you?”

Wen Jin rolled his eyes at him and repeated what Ziyi had told him over the phone.

Gu Kai laughed hysterically, as if having heard the funniest joke.

“I’ll settle this with that kid tomorrow,” Wen Jin muttered.

Gu Kai finally managed to stop laughing, “Make sure to call me when you give Ziyi a piece of your mind. I’m curious to know what Ziyi’s up to, tricking you into going to their house. Could he really think his dad cheated and wants you to clean up his dad’s mess?”

“Why should I call you?” Wen Jin felt displeased.

Gu Kai, on the other hand, was in a great mood, “This is too amusing not to include me. But you’re too easy to fool, being tricked by Ziyi’s few words into going to their house. Did you actually believe Mo Xiuchen would cheat?”

“Of course, I didn’t believe it.”

Wen Jin said sullenly, “But Ziyi said on the phone that Ranran was ill, and Mo Xiuchen was away on a business trip. I was worried, so of course, I had to come and check.”

He added, “Besides, he said he had called you, but you were working overtime.”

Gu Kai’s house was close to Mo Xiuchen’s. Wen Jin thought that if Ranran’s stomachache was severe, Ziyi should call Gu Kai to take Ranran to the hospital first.
