Chapter 2217: Chapter 21: You Two Are Already Over
“Hmm.”
Wen Ran listened to Mo Xiuchen’s tone and glanced at him with a hint of reproach.
Mo Xiuchen smiled, curving his lips, holding her hand with one hand while dialing Mo Ziye’s number with the other.
After a few rings, Mo Ziye’s voice came through the phone, “Dad.”
“Where are you now?”
“I’m in the car.”
“Is Qingqing with you?”
Mo Xiuchen asked with a slight frown, that brat.
He could obviously tell he was on the road.
“Yeah, Qingqing and I are going to S City. Dad, why are you suddenly concerned about me? Is it because mom is ignoring you again?”
Mo Ziye glanced at Qin Qingqing, who was driving, teasing his old man.
“Why are you and Qingqing going to S City? You left this afternoon and you’re still on the road. Did you drive there?”
Such a long trip. Is his son foolish or what? Doesn’t he know he could fly instead of driving to S City?
“Yes, Dad. I’ll call you back once I reach S City.”
“No, you’ll get to S City around two or three in the morning. Calling at that time will disturb your mom. Is it just you and Qingqing or is there someone else?”
Mo Xiuchen heard another woman’s voice.
His expression changed slightly.
Could it be that the silly boy also brought Shi Xi?
To let Qingqing watch him and Shi Xi being intimate?
Mo Ziye detected the displeasure in his father’s tone, turned to glance at the awakened Shi Xi, who immediately shut her mouth with an apologetic look.
“Dad, I’ll call you when I arrive.”
After saying this, Mo Ziye hung up on his dad.
“Xiuchen, how did it go?”
Earlier, after Mo Xiuchen answered the phone, he released Wen Ran’s hand and slowed his pace.
He caught up after finishing the call.
Facing Wen Ran’s concerned eyes, Mo Xiuchen internally cursed Mo Ziye, then smiled and said, “Ranran, don’t worry. Qingqing and Ziye are together. Even if they had misunderstandings in the past, the feelings are there, and there will always be a time to resolve them.”
“It’s not because of past misunderstandings, but because of their breakup back then.”
Wen Ran said hesitantly.
Even though Qingqing misunderstood Ziye when she went abroad,
Qin Mu had explained it to her over the phone later.
However, between her and Ziye, there’s still An Lin’s death, and also Xin Xin…
“Are they going to S City to see Xin Xin?”
Wen Ran suddenly asked.
Mo Xiuchen nodded, “Probably. Ziye didn’t say specifically, but Momo mentioned that Qingqing asked about Xin Xin.”
“Xiuchen, you know, sometimes I regret adopting Xin Xin back then. If we hadn’t adopted her, maybe things wouldn’t have turned out this way?”
Wen Ran’s voice carried a hint of sadness, and Mo Xiuchen knowingly held her hand.
Even after decades together, the feelings between him and Wen Ran remained unchanged. In fact, their bond deepened over time.
He grew even more tender and indulgent towards Wen Ran.
“None of us expected Xin Xin to find out about her background so early, let alone her feelings for Ziye back then.”
Mo Xiuchen spoke warmly to Wen Ran, “Ranran, An Lin’s death was just a coincidence. Even without the misunderstandings between Qingqing and Ziye, those killers had already targeted Qingqing.”
“I know.”
Wen Ran looked at Mo Xiuchen, “But Ziye also blames himself. He thinks that if he and Qingqing hadn’t misunderstood each other, he could have protected Qingqing and An Lin wouldn’t have lost her life.”
“Let’s not talk about those things. I’ll call Ah Mu in a bit, ask him when he’ll be back. With Qingqing back, he still stays in A City.”
“He might not come back soon.”
“If he’s not coming back, should we still leave tomorrow?”
“I don’t want to go either, Xiuchen.”
“Why?”
“Let’s stay back and help An Lin take care of Qingqing. When she passed, Qingqing was what she worried about the most. Ziye could have fallen in love earlier or later, but it just had to be when Qingqing returned that he got a girlfriend. Between him and Qingqing, I’m afraid more issues will arise.”
“Ranran, he’s an adult now. He knows what he’s doing.”
Mo Xiuchen was displeased.
In his heart, he planned to deal with Ziye once he returned.
He’s making his wife worry.
“He’s still our son, no matter how old he gets, with that kind of pride… That’s not something he got from you.”
“He’s not as outstanding as I am.”
“…”
——
At 2 a.m., Mo Ziye, Qin Qingqing, and Shi Xi arrived in S City.
A hotel was pre-booked in advance.
When Mo Ziye asked the receptionist to book another room, Shi Xi blushed slightly and said, “Ziye, at this hour, there’s no need to trouble yourself. One room is fine for us.”
She had already prepared everything.
Just waiting for the moment with him.
A flash of surprise passed through Qin Qingqing’s eyes, but it vanished quickly, returning to calmness.
She reached out to take the room card from Mo Ziye’s hand, saying, “Brother Ziye, since you two are sharing, give me one, I’m really tired…”
“You two share a room.”
Mo Ziye handed the room card to Qin Qingqing, his words carrying a slight weight.
“Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
Qin Qingqing frowned.
“You don’t want to share with Shi Xi?”
Mo Ziye looked deeply at Qin Qingqing.
Shi Xi also stared at her intently.
Hoping she would shake her head.
Then she could share a room with Mo Ziye.
Seeing both of them looking at her, Qin Qingqing grew slightly irritated, “I don’t like sharing a bed with someone.”
The room card Mo Ziye was extending was retracted and handed to Shi Xi, “Shi Xi, you have a shoot tomorrow. Rest well tonight.”
“Ziye?”
Shi Xi looked at him with a slight change in her expression.
Mo Ziye instructed the staff to open another room because it was on another floor, he let Shi Xi and Qin Qingqing sleep in the previously booked room.
He went to a different floor.
“Miss Qin, may I come in and sit for a while?”
When Qin Qingqing opened the door, Shi Xi approached unexpectedly.
She looked up at her and said indifferently, “Please come in, Miss Shi.”
Then pushed the door open and entered.
She didn’t know Mo Ziye would bring her to S City and hadn’t prepared anything.
Unlike Shi Xi, she had a suitcase with her.
She pulled her suitcase into Qin Qingqing’s room and watched Qin Qingqing walk to the sofa and sit down.
She didn’t go sit next to her but stood over the sofa, looking down at Qin Qingqing who was casually taking out her phone.
“Miss Qin, it’s just the two of us here. Tell me honestly, do you still like Ziye?”
Qin Qingqing unlocked her phone, intending to check her messages.
Upon hearing Shi Xi’s words, her actions paused.
After a moment, she looked up at Shi Xi, “I don’t think I owe Miss Shi an answer to that.”
Shi Xi’s expression changed upon hearing this. The arrogance in her gaze turned to resentment, “Miss Qin, I already know the answer. But don’t forget, not only is it over between you and Ziye, there’s also the life of your mother between you.”
