Chapter 644: 643 is too biased
By the ti Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran got ho, it was already five in the afternoon.
Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng had been waiting here for over an hour. If it had not been for her calling to urge Wen Ran, she had shown no sign of planning to return.
“Ranran, over an hour ago, you said you were almost ho on the phone, did you guys co all the way back pushing the car?”
Bai Xiaoxiao complained dissatisfiedly, until Luo Haofeng took a bag of cherries out of the car and smiled: “Xiaoxiao, don’t be angry, first try these cherries and see if they are good. These are from cherries that Xiuchen personally planted when he was a kid.”
“What?”
Bai Xiaoxiao was sowhat incredulous.
These cherries were from cherry trees Mo Xiuchen planted himself. She blinked her eyes, asking in confusion: “Where is his grandmother’s house?”
“Xiaoxiao, if you find them tasty, I’ll take you there next ti. Climbing the tree and eating them one by one will be much more fun than this.”
Wen Ran smiled brilliantly without holding Bai Xiaoxiao’s just complaint against her. Taking out her cell phone, she opened the photos she had taken for Mo Xiuchen, “Look, these cherry trees are still laden with cherries, they’re just starting to ripen now. I estimate that by next weekend there will be even more.”
“Wow, so beautiful, so many cherries.” Bai Xiaoxiao exclaid ecstatically.
“Tch tch, you guys can’t see the handso guy amid all these cherries.”
Luo Haofeng made a tsk tsk sound on the side. Although the photos were taken with a cell phone, they were well taken, and Mo Xiuchen in every photo looked stunningly handso.
Mo Xiuchen glanced at the two of them, handed the remaining few bags of cherries to Nanny Zhang, and then walked up to Wen Ran, pulled her away with one hand.
“Let’s go in the house first.”
Luo Haofeng then pulled Bai Xiaoxiao away laughing.
Nanny Zhang took the cherries into the living room. Mo Xiuchen asked her to take a bag to Qing Yang, Qing Feng, Little Liu and others for them to try.
Bai Xiaoxiao tied up her bag and reached out to grab the other few bags left on the coffee table, “I’ll try if these few bags are good.”
“Xiaoxiao, these all have owners. If you want to eat, co with to the countryside next ti.” Wen Ran told her off with a glance and quickly took the other bags of cherries away.
“Who are they for?”
Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t manage to snatch them up, pouted her mouth discontentedly, her eyes fixed on the remaining bags of cherries, ready to strike at the mont when Wen Ran was not looking.
Mo Xiuchen pulled Wen Ran into his embrace and calmly said, “These are for Ah Kai, Wen Jin, and Shen Yuting.”
Earlier on, they had made a late delivery to Li Qian’s house, and had even chatted with her for a bit before making their way back.
“Why is there no bag for Luo Haofeng?”
Bai Xiaoxiao asked.
“Xiaoxiao, didn’t you notice that your bag is twice as big as the others? Luo Haofeng’s share is in there.”
Wen Ran looked at her contemptuously.
“Well, I’ll eat Brother Wen’s share. Ah Kai, being a man, probably won’t like these.”
Bai Xiaoxiao laughed slyly but Wen Ran sternly refused her, “Whether they would like it or not, you can ask them yourself. But for now, don’t touch these.”
“Xiaoxiao, if you like cherries, I’ll take you to the countryside next ti. I know that place.” Luo Haofeng laughed as he looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, he hadn’t expected her to like cherries that much.
“Sure, whenever you two want to go, tell Ranran and she can give you the key. You can stay there for a few days, and leave after you’ve had enough.”
Mo Xiuchen squinted his eyes, his words having a deeper aning.
Wen Ran gave Bai Xiaoxiao a knowing wink, and for sure Bai Xiaoxiao thought of so inappropriate notions and her fair cheeks turned pink in an instant, glaring at Wen Ran.
Just as they were laughing and talking, Gu Kai and Wen Jin arrived. The two ca in together.
“Ranran, this Xiuchen guy is too partisan. In the past, whenever the cherries were ripe, he always invited us to spend the weekend in the country. This year, now that he has you, he didn’t even ntion it to us.”
As soon as Gu Kai entered the living room, he saw the cherries on the coffee table, with a faint aroma of cherries in the air.
Wen Jin was sowhat surprised, curiously asking, “Does Mo Xiuchen also have a cherry base?”
Gu Kai explained: “This is from Xiuchen’s grandma’s house. He spent most of his childhood at his grandmother’s house and planted cherry trees all over the place. In the past few years, whenever the cherries were ripe, he would invite , Ah Feng, and Ah Mu to the countryside to eat cherries.”
“He didn’t invite you this year?”
Wen Jin was clearly asking even though he knew the answer.
Gu Kai gave him a glance, saying despondently: “Putting love before friendship, that’s exactly what Xiuchen did. What happened to your finger, did you hurt it while picking cherries?”
He noticed the band-aid on the index finger of Mo Xiuchen’s hand, which was wrapped around Wen Ran’s waist.
Mo Xiuchen raised his eyebrows, languidly saying, “Cut it by accident while chopping vegetables.”
At the words, Gu Kai’s eyebrows drew slightly together, his thoughts interuppted by Wen Ran’s voice, “Xiuchen gave the key to his country villa, if any of you want to go cherry picking, sign up with , we’ll go next week.”
“Haha, Ranran is the best.”
Gu Kai laughed aloud, Wen Ran grinned, “There are so many cherries, I can’t eat them all. The reason I didn’t call you yesterday is that the cherries have just started ripening. They’ll be fully ripe by next weekend.”
“Yes, I’m going to City C tomorrow. Those of you who want cherries can find Ranran.”
Mo Xiuchen chid in, his gaze inadvertently sweeping across Gu Kai.
“You’re going to City C tomorrow, isn’t that a bit rushed?”
Luo Haofeng asked in surprise on the side. Mo Xiuchen nodded, “Yes, Haochen is busy recently, An Lin is too tired being alone. I will go there tomorrow.”
“Is Ranran not going with you?”
Gu Kai asked with concern, his gaze fell on Wen Ran.
He had suggested to Mo Xiuchen to go to D Country imdiately yesterday, but he had refused, saying that he needed half a month.
He thought he was using this half a month to dispel Ranran’s suspicions. But hearing his words now, could it be that he was using these two weeks to deal with business matters?
Wen Ran shook her head with a smile, “I have to stay and work at the pharmaceutical factory, so I’m not going with him.”
Gu Kai heard her response, and it seed as if a weight had been lifted off his chest, yet there was confusion in his eyes.
Obviously, he, just like Mo Xiuchen, didn’t understand why she wouldn’t go to City C with him.
“It’s a good thing you’re not going. Ranran, with Mo Xiuchen going to City C, you can move back ho. It will be closer for work.”
Wen Jin spoke in a calm voice, in a gentle manner.
But Wen Ran still shook her head. She looked up at Mo Xiuchen and said softly, “No need, I really like living here. Plus, Xiuchen can co back to see at any ti. As for work, Qing Feng and Qing Yang will drive . Brother, you don’t have to worry.”
Mo Xiuchen smiled tenderly at her, swallowing the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
Just when Wen Jin had proposed this suggestion, he originally wanted to agree on behalf of Ranran, but she didn’t give him the chance and rejected it herself.
