Wen Family

By the time Luo Haofeng got there, everyone else was already present.

Wen Jin was playing mahjong in the living room with Gu Kai, Mo Xiuchen and Bai Xiaoxiao, while Wen Ran had gone to help out in the kitchen.

“Ah Feng, you came just in time. Quick, help Xiaoxiao, otherwise, she will be in high-interest debt by tonight!”

Wen Jin motioned to the newly arrived Luo Haofeng, her gaze lingering on Mo Xiuchen, who had the biggest pile of cash in front of him.

Raising an eyebrow, Luo Haofeng strode over to Bai Xiaoxiao, leaned over her cards, and said, “Xiuchen, aren’t you being a bit too ruthless? If you’re going to win, at least take it from Ah Jin and Ah Kai! How could you bully a girl like this? Aren’t you afraid Wen Ran will have you kneel on the floor when you get home?”

Mo Xiuchen gave him a nonchalant glance and casually threw his picked-up East Wind tile on the table. “Even if I were playing against both Bai Xiaoxiao and you, I’d still win.”

“Bullshit!”

Luo Haofeng lazily retorted, pulling up a chair to sit down next to Bai Xiaoxiao. “Xiaoxiao, no matter how much Xiuchen has won from you, I’ll help you win it back.”

Bai Xiaoxiao looked up at him. Seeing his confident expression, she smiled. “Not much. All the cash on his desk is mine. I also borrowed some from Brother Wen.”

Luo Haofeng’s eyebrows furrowed briefly before relaxing again. “No problem. Let’s make him cry over his losses later.”

“Haha, Ah Feng, don’t brag too much. If you can’t beat Xiuchen, you will be quite the laughing stock.”

Gu Kai and Wen Jin were looking forward to a good show. Just as Wen Ran came out from the kitchen, she overheard Luo Haofeng’s words and said, grinning, “Luo Haofeng, you must help Xiaoxiao win her money back.”

Luo Haofeng’s eyebrows shot up in triumph. He looked at the other three, particularly at Mo Xiuchen. “See, Xiuchen? I told you that you shouldn’t have taken Xiaoxiao’s money. Even Wen Ran disapproves.”

“I didn’t want to win either, it’s just that having good cards and playing skills left me no choice.”

The image of Mo Xiuchen’s nonchalance, however, came off as extremely arrogant.

No sooner had he finished speaking than his cellphone began to ring inappropriately.

“Xiuchen, why don’t you go and take your call? Wen Ran, come and replace him for a while. Let me and Xiaoxiao have a winning streak.”

Luo Haofeng’s eyes lit up, and he waved Wen Ran over.

Wen Ran laughed lightly, gazing at Luo Haofeng and Bai Xiaoxiao. She leisurely made her way over to Mo Xiuchen, “That’s not necessarily gonna happen. With my two brothers here, even if they can’t play mahjong, they may not lose to you.”

“That’s right, Ranran has a point.”

“Ah Feng, did you think we would let you win Ranran’s money?”

Wen Jin and Gu Kai immediately took a stance, Bai Xiaoxiao looked at them, then turned to ask Luo Haofeng: “Luo Haofeng, can you actually do it?”

Luo Haofeng’s face changed. “Who says I can’t? Just watch.”

Although she was asking if he could play mahjong, Luo Haofeng interpreted her question differently. Especially since Bai Xiaoxiao was so close to him at that moment, her clear eyes filled with worry as she stared intently at him.

The breath she exhaled replaced the air, flooding his nostrils. His heart fluttered slightly.

“Ranran, sit here.”

After glancing at his cellphone, Mo Xiuchen rose from his seat to make room for Wen Ran. He walked onto the balcony with phone in hand, and only while returning to look at Wen Ran in the living room did he answer the call.

“Hello!”

“Xiuchen, where are you now?”

The call was from Mo Jingteng.

Ever since Mo Xiuchen revealed that Xiao Wenqing had eloped with a man, Mo Jingteng had called him once to interrogate. Subsequently, Mo Jingteng didn’t call him again, he simply helped Mo Zixuan a lot in the company.

Their father-son relationship had gradually become strained.

Mo Xiuchen didn’t care about these things. To him, Mo Jingteng was still a stranger. His tone was indifferent when he spoke to him. “Is there something you need?”

“Of course there is, come back immediately. There’s something very important I need to discuss with you in person.”

Mo Jingteng’s tone was very serious, even domineeringly commanding Mo Xiuchen.

“I’m not free right now.”

Mo Xiuchen wouldn’t just do as he was told. He wasn’t that obedient.

“If you don’t want Wen Ran’s true identity exposed, you’d better come back immediately.”

Mo Jingteng had always failed to control Mo Xiuchen. But this was something he could threaten.

Hearing this, Mo Xiuchen’s eyes suddenly turned icy. His tall figure stiffened and his voice became chilly. “How do you know?”

“It doesn’t matter how I found out. I know more than you think. Come back immediately.”

The hand holding his cellphone tightened. He turned his head to look into the living room. At that moment, Wen Ran happened to be looking back at him. Through the glass window, he saw her warm smile. His lips unconsciously pressed into a thin line.

“I’ll come back in a while.”

He conceded after a moment of silence.

After hanging up, he didn’t go back into the room immediately. He remained standing erect on the balcony, his deep eyes darker than the night, his mind spinning in thought. How did Mo Jingteng come to know about this?

He said that he knew more than Mo Xiuchen could imagine. Did this mean he also knew that Wen Ran was a member of the Gu Family and about her health condition? Is that why he was in such a hurry to call him home?

“Xiuchen!”

Mo Xiuchen was deep in thought and didn’t even notice Wen Ran had come out onto the balcony.

Only her voice in his ear brought him back to reality. He turned his head and met her eyes, full of concern. “Who called just now? You seemed upset.”

The instinctive understanding between lovers made Wen Ran quickly aware of Mo Xiuchen’s unusual behavior. Instead of waiting for him to come back, she had walked out. As she spoke, her slender fingers gently grasped his broad hand.

Mo Xiuchen felt a warmth spread through his heart, the darkness in his eyes dispersed and gentle affection replaced it. “Ranran, there’s something that I have to deal with. I need to leave for a while. You stay here, wait for me. I will pick you up after I’m done.”

Worry flashed across Wen Ran’s clear eyes. She hesitated for a moment, but without asking any questions, her beautiful face broke into a smile again. “Alright, go ahead. I’ll wait for you here.”

Mo Xiuchen locked his gaze on her beautiful smile, a surge of emotions welled up within him. He caught her hand, drawing her into his arms. His other arm wrapped around her waist.

Wen Ran also embraced him, quietly leaning into his chest.

After a while, Mo Xiuchen released her, his handsome face melting into a warm and gentle smile. “Ranran, let’s go back inside.”

“Hmm!”

Wen Ran smiled and followed him back into the living room.

Mo Xiuchen led Wen Ran back to their seats and took his wallet out of his pocket. “Ranran, you can use this money however you want tonight. If you run out of cash, use a card.”

Wen Jin twitched at the corner of his mouth, “I don’t have a card reader.”

Mo Xiuchen was expecting this. “Ranran, Wen Jin is your brother. If he doesn’t provide a card reader and you run out of cash, just ask him for money.”
