Luo Haofeng gave him a cold glance, then threw those words at him. “MO
Xiuchen, I will get back at you one day for what happened last night.” Then, with no further ado, he slamd the door and left.
Wen Ran blinked blankly, her clear eyes looking towards MO Xiuchen. “MO Xiuchen, what revenge is he talking about?”
MO Xiuchen laughed heartily, took her hand and led the way to the dining room. “I don’t know, but whatever it is, revenge won’t be easy for him.”
“Master, Young Master Luo has taken away the voice recorder.”
Little Liu, observing as MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran conversed while heading towards the dining room entrance, couldn’t help but whisper a reminder. “Nevermind, I’ll get you a new one shortly.”
Without turning his head, MO Xiuchen stepped into the dining room with Wen Ran, kindly pulling a chair out for her to sit before taking a seat next to her.
Nanny Zhang served breakfast. Originally prepared for three, since Luo Haofeng had already left, she took away one of the portions when she saw that MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran couldn’t finish them.
Upon returning ho, Luo Haofeng took a shower and lay in bed before returning a call to Bai Xiaoxiao.
“Luo Haofeng, co to the horse-riding field right away!”
As soon as the phone was answered, Bai Xiaoxiao’s command resonated from the other end. Luo Haofeng’s brows furrowed, and without much thought, he refused. “No, I didn’t sleep last night — I need to make up for lost sleep.”
“A good gambler always honours his bets, Luo Haofeng. You’re not planning to go back on your word, are you?”
Of course, Bai Xiaoxiao would not let him off the hook easily. Today, she wanted to evaluate whether this slave of hers was up to par. If not, she would need to train him slowly.
His saying that he didn’t sleep last night and needs to catch up on sleep now would only make Bai Xiaoxiao, who is looking for a chance to tornt him, even more excited.
“What kind of person do you think I am, how could I possibly break my word?”
He was Luo Haofeng, a man of honour. He could bear losing to Bai Xiaoxiao’s trickery, but he couldn’t allow her to insult his dignity.
“Since that’s the case, get here within an hour. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Before Luo Haofeng could reply, Bai Xiaoxiao had already hung up the call.
The black Aston arrived at the front of the dicine factory. Just as it had parked, Wen Ran’s mobile phone conveniently rang. She took out her phone and smiled when she saw the incoming call, pressing the answer key, she cheerfully answered, “Xiaoxiao!”
“Ran Ran, do you have any free ti this morning?”
“I’ll be quite busy this morning, what’s up?
Wen Ran asked, puzzled by Bai Xiaoxiao’s tone – it didn’t sound like there was anything urgent.
“Ahaha, it’s nothing. It’s just that it’s been quite so ti since we last went horse riding together. The weather is good today, so I was thinking if you’d like to co to the horse-riding field for so fun. Also, I want you to see my new groom. ”
“Pfft, groom indeed. It’s Luo Haofeng, isn’t it? I heard that you tricked him into losing the ga.”
Wen Ran was amused by the self-satisfied tone of Bai Xiaoxiao. Taking a glance at MO Xiuchen, she observed his slightly raised eyebrows, exhibiting curiosity about their conversation.
“How did you know? That’s no fun, I was planning to surprise you today. Ran Ran, how did you find out? Luo Haofeng wouldn’t have told you.”
No wonder Bai Xiaoxiao was surprised.
Luo Haofeng being the type to care about appearances, wouldn’t disclose losing to Bai Xiaoxiao, nor his readiness to co at her beck and call. Such embarrassing matters, he certainly wouldn’t blurt out to others unless he got drunk_ even Mn Xinchen wouldn’t have been told
Wen Ran’s face broke into a radiant smile. “Who else could have told , if not
Luo Haofeng himself? Do you think I’m so kind of clairvoyant?”
“Luo Haofeng told you? That’s impossible.”
Bai Xiaoxiao was adamant there was no way Luo Haofeng would reveal such an embarrassing story about himself.
“If you don’t believe , you can ask him later. I have to go to work now, I’ll stop chatting. Have fun!”
Wen Ran felt a pang of pity for Luo Haofeng.
He was tricked and got drunk by MO Xiuchen last night, and suffered the indignity of sleeping on the couch in their living room. He must not have slept well. This morning, he was shocked by a voice recording from MO Xiuchen. And now, he still needs to serve Bai Xiaoxiao.
Poor guy!
Bai Xiaoxiao felt a sense of regret. She wanted nothing more than to share the fruits of her victory with Wen Ran. With Wen Ran absent, she lost enthusiasm to even tornt Luo Haofeng alone.
“Alright then, let know when you’re free.”
In the days that followed, Wen Ran was extrely busy. Wen Jin ca to the dicine factory every day for half a day and spent the other half of his day doing rehabilitation at the hospital.
Over the weekend, she went to the hospital again to see Zhou Lin, who looked worn-out. Although Xiao Wenqing had arranged for a maid to send her als every day, he himself did not visit her, whereas, MO Zixuan never ca to visit her at all. He didn’t even bother picking up her calls.
“That matter has been clarified.”
Sitting in front of the sickbed, Wen Ran slowly peeled an apple, looking at Zhou Lin who was leaning against the bed.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lin turned pale. A pained expression appeared in her eyes as she responded sadly, “Ranran, you don’t need to tell . I already know who wanted to kill my baby.”
Wen Ran seed a bit surprised, “You know who it was?”
Zhou Lin nodded, “It’s Xiao Wenqing. The soup she ordered others to bring over these few days, I didn’t drink a drop. The food I ate was made by my housekeeper.”
After a brief pause, Zhou Lin continued, “And MO Zixuan, he never liked and hated for using the baby in my belly to force him into marriage. Ranran, I’m sorry. It was who originally snatched your boyfriend.”
By the ti she finished speaking, Zhou Lin’s eyes were welled up with tears, her face full of regret.
She finally realized that she couldn’t hold onto soone who was forced to stay with her.
Wen Ran remained silent, only lightly pursing her lips.
Watching her serene expression, Zhou Lin uneasily called out, “Ranran, you hate , don’t you? Actually, it was Xiao Wenqing who originally wanted to drug you and then find two n to ruin your reputation. Not just her, my father had commanded to do the sa.”
Wen Ran’s eyes narrowed. She had guessed that Xiao Wenqing and Zhou Mingfu had arranged so dirty tricks together, but she didn’t know the extent of their machinations.
The force with which she was holding the paring knife slightly increased, and she stopped peeling the apple, looking at Zhou Lin quietly.
In the past, she really considered Zhou Lin as a good friend, and Zhou Lin had seed pretty friendly on her end too.
However, after the death of her parents, the crisis faced by the dicine factory, and being forced to marry a stranger… with Zhou Mingfu constantly pursuing and scheming to kill her…
Under such circumstances, if she continued interacting with Zhou Lin as she used to, she would be a fool!
“Then why didn’t you follow their orders?”
Following her question, Zhou Lin imdiately explained, “It was MO Xiuchen. He located and asked to give the drug to MO Zixuan. He even provided with MO Zixuan’s hotel room number. Ran Ran, I was jealous of you, not because of MO Zixuan’s deep love for you, but because MO Xiuchen was so good to you.”
There was a surge of emotions deep within Wen Ran’s eyes, but nothing was revealed on her face.
“I used to think that MO Xiuchen married you in vengeance against his brother.
But I never expected that he truly cherishes you..”
