Chapter 1048: 1047 felt the baby move
Luo Haofeng lowered his eyes, a trace of pain fleeting across them.
When he looked up again, his peach blossom eyes carried a hint of indifference. With pursed lips and a somber voice, he said, “Xiaoxiao’s mother told about the past.”
Indeed, it was quite similar to what Mo Xiuchen had speculated.
Wen Ran’s complexion changed, “What exactly did Aunt Qiao tell you, was it about that incident?”
“Yes, it’s true.”
The last few words from Luo Haofeng ca through clenched teeth.
Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran were both startled.
After understanding his words, Wen Ran’s face paled, “Luo Haofeng, what is true?” She couldn’t believe it, she never wanted to believe it.
Seeing her agitated, Mo Xiuchen reached out with his broad palm to hold her hand, silently soothing her emotions.
Wen Ran pursed her lips, her eyes intently fixed on Luo Haofeng opposite her.
“Ranran, tell Ah Kai not to do the DNA test,” said Luo Haofeng. It was the simplest explanation, yet the hardest for anyone to accept.
Wen Ran opened her mouth but said nothing.
“Ranran.”
Mo Xiuchen’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, calling her gently with a heart full of pity.
Wen Ran took a breath, cald herself in the shadows, looked up, and gave Mo Xiuchen a reassuring smile, “I’m okay.”
After a long silence, Luo Haofeng spoke again, “Xiuchen, Ranran, I need to go first.”
“Okay.”
Mo Xiuchen didn’t know what else to say and watched Luo Haofeng’s lonely silhouette disappear from view before he withdrew his gaze and said to Wen Ran, “Ranran, let’s go.”
**
A few days later, Luo Haofeng and Qi iling’s wedding date was set.
The day Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran received the wedding invitation, she felt the baby move for the first ti.
Since she was no longer experiencing morning sickness, she often accompanied Mo Xiuchen to work at the company, and sotis, she also joined him at dinner parties. Whenever Wen Ran was present, not to ntion Mo Xiuchen refraining from smoking and drinking, even the clients would abstain.
Of course, these were clients who were trying to please and suck up to Mo Xiuchen, and for so necessary social engagents, Mo Xiuchen would not take Wen Ran.
When Secretary Lin entered with a delivery while Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran were sitting on the sofa,
Wen Ran leaned against the sofa, and Mo Xiuchen bent over, placing his face against her bulging abdon, a tender smile gracing his lips, “Baby, I am your dad, co say hi to .”
Secretary Lin placed the delivery on the coffee table and quietly slipped out of the office.
Wen Ran, looking at the delivery on the coffee table, laughed and said, “Xiuchen, stop it, first let’s see what this is.”
Seeing Secretary Lin leave, Mo Xiuchen bent down again, pressing his face close to her abdon, Wen Ran pushed him with her hand.
Mo Xiuchen caught her soft hand, his deep voice filled with intense doting, “Ranran, these two little ones are ignoring , they probably don’t know yet, that in the future, I might spank them. And now, they actually ignore .”
Wen Ran laughed heartily at his words, unable to push him away, she leaned forward, took the delivery from the coffee table,
And opened it to see what was inside.
“Xiuchen, it’s an invitation, for Luo Haofeng and Qi iling,” Wen Ran’s voice interrupted Mo Xiuchen’s interaction with their son and daughter. Just as he was about to sit up, he suddenly felt the baby’s movent.
“Ranran, I felt it.”
Despite the invitation, Mo Xiuchen’s voice was filled with joy, his handso features brightened by his smile, his eyes deep and clear. That tiny movent from the baby brought him more happiness than closing a billion-dollar deal.
“I felt it too, not sure which baby it was.”
Wen Ran handed over the invitation to Mo Xiuchen, puzzled, “Didn’t Luo Haofeng say last ti that we didn’t need to attend his wedding? Why would he send an invitation again?”
“This isn’t Ah Feng’s handwriting, maybe iling or his mother had it sent.”
Mo Xiuchen took the invitation and glanced at it, recognizing that it wasn’t written by Luo Haofeng. Marrying a woman whom he did not love, he had no desire for these close friends to attend.
If the bride were the woman he loved, this invitation would have definitely been written by Luo Haofeng himself.
“How can you be so sure it wasn’t Luo Haofeng’s handwriting that had this invitation sent?” Wen Ran’s lips curved into a faint smile, her gaze on Mo Xiuchen tender.
An emotion flickered deep in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes as he calmly explained, “Ah Feng once said that when he got married, if his bride was the woman he loved, he would write the invitation himself. If it were a business marriage and he did not care for the person, he told us there was no need to attend.”
“He actually said sothing like that.”
Wen Ran asked, surprised.
“At that ti, he didn’t anticipate such a situation. It was only because his father and mother’s marriage was a business arrangent.”
Mo Xiuchen’s words were tinged with a trace of lancholy.
He, along with Luo Haofeng, Qin Mu, and Gu Kai, were brothers as close as limbs.
Initially, both Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu had helped him join MS Group, now ten years. Today, Luo Haofeng was marrying Qi iling and no longer wanted their assistance.
Just to protect the woman he loved in his heart.
“Mo Xiuchen, is there really no chance for things to change?”
Wen Ran, seeing Mo Xiuchen staring blankly at the invitation, knew he felt sorry for Luo Haofeng. She also knew that Mo Xiuchen’s establishnt of a branch in City B was to help Luo Haofeng.
Qi and Luo Families were leading enterprises in City B.
‘Hao Chen’ as an outsider entering City B was warmly welcod by the city governnt, but both Qi and Luo Families’ groups were suppressing them. Even now when Haofeng was the helmsman of the company, his mother still held substantial power in the company.
Especially since Haofeng had collaborated with ‘Hao Chen’ recently, making Mother Luo feel threatened.
“There’s no good solution in the short term.”
Mo Xiuchen’s handso brows knitted, his lips pursed with determination.
Qi family held secrets concerning Bai Xiaoxiao’s reputation, just with this one fact, Luo Haofeng could only compromise and marry Qi iling.
Unless they had sothing equally important to exchange with the Qi family.
Earlier, Mo Xiuchen wanted to investigate so past deeds of Qi family father and son, but unexpectedly, those matters were closely tangled with the Luo family.
“Luo Haofeng can only marry Qi iling,” Wen Ran pressed her lips together, regretfully said.
Mo Xiuchen patted her shoulder soothingly, gently said, “Ranran, this is Ah Feng’s own decision.”
“Then, are you going to attend his wedding?”
Wen Ran looked at Mo Xiuchen, even though Luo Haofeng had said not to attend the wedding. She felt, given Mo Xiuchen’s nature, he would still go.
“I will go, Ranran, you don’t have to. In half a month, your belly will be much bigger, it would be too hard.”
At their own wedding, he had let Ranran go back to rest early in the sitting room, there was no need to strenuously attend soone else’s wedding.
