Chapter 236: There must always be a choice
“Half true, half false!”
Under her soft gaze, the coldness and mockery gradually faded from MO Xiuchen’s brows.
Wen Ran blinked, asking, “So it was false then, did she admit it? How did you make her admit it?”
MO Xiuchen turned to look at Wen Ran, a smile unconsciously spreading across his lips, “Don’t worry, the method I used definitely wasn’t one you’d dislike. Didn’t I mention it before? When Cheng Jia has no way out, she will always have a choice. Now I want to see what choice she will make this time, how she’ll express her sincerity.”
Cheng Jia was afraid of becoming his enemy, especially after experiencing the death of Zhou Mingfu and Zhou Lin’s near miscarriage. She knew clearer than anyone that following Xiao Wenqing would not end well. “How to express sincerity? By offering herself?”
Wen Ran joked.
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
MO Xiuchen pretended to be angry and put on a stern face. However, it didn’t last long. He soon started laughing again, “Maybe, she really would do that, but her target would be Little Liu.”
Originally, MO Xiuchen wanted to have some alone time with Wen Ran.
However, just as they arrived at the western restaurant, Gu Kai called. In the end, an extra light bulb was added to their romantic dinner for two.
After dinner, Gu Kai leisurely took out two VIP concert tickets from his pocket and handed them to Wen Ran, smiling, “Ranran, these two tickets are useless to me. You and MO Xiuchen still have time to attend.”
“Two tickets in exchange for a meal, Ah Kai, if you do this every day, we’ll eventually go bankrupt.”
Looking at the plate in front of him, MO Xiuchen thought of how ruthlessly Gu Kai had ordered so much food earlier. Now, he was settling the bill with the tickets someone else had given him.
Gu Kai glanced at him, plucked a ticket from Wen Ran’s hand, and replied with a radiant smile, “If you think it’s too expensive, I’ll go with Ranran. Ranran, let’s go!”
After finishing his sentence, he pushed back his chair and stood up.
“Alright!”
Wen Ran cheerfully replied.
The next second, the ticket in Gu Kai’s hand vanished, landing instead in MO Xiuchen’s hand.
He shot Gu Kai a cold glance, left the sentence “Pay the bill first,” then led Wen Ran away by the hand.
Gu Kai stared at MO Xiuchen for a few seconds, then shook his head with a smile, beckoning a waiter over to settle the bill.
It was worth it. A meal’s worth exchanged for an hour spent with his sister.
While MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran attended the concert together, Wen Ran became drowsy in less than ten minutes.
Twenty-five minutes later, she rested her head on MO Xiuchen’s shoulder, whispering, “MO Xiuchen, you listen, I’m going to take a nap.”
“Go to sleep!”
MO Xiuchen was surprised, but not the least bit upset. He wrapped his long arm around her slim waist and held her soft hand.
Wen Ran leaned obediently against him and fell asleep after a few minutes.
Listening to her steady breathing and looking at her peaceful sleeping face, layers of warmth spread in MO Xiuchen’s eyes.
For the second half of the concert, Wen Ran slept through it, and MO Xiuchen, though awake, did not listen. He just quietly watched her, holding her small hands tightly to keep her from getting cold.
By the time they came out of the concert, it was already ten o’clock.
Wen Ran woke up refreshed after her nap, the exhaustion from a day of work comDletelv zone.
As soon as they left the concert hall, MO Xiuchen took off his coat and draped it over Wen Ran’s shoulders. Suddenly enveloped in MO Xiuchen’s warm masculine scent, Wen Ran felt warmed. Looking up at him, she said, “I’m not cold, you should wear it.”
He wasn’t wearing much, just a shirt underneath the coat.
With a soft smile, MO Xiuchen wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into his arms, “Keep it on. Holding you like this, I’m not cold at all.” “Are you hungry? Let’s go get some late-night snacks!”
Once back in the car, Wen Ran suggested it. His eyes squinting slightly, MO Xiuchen responded with a question, “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?”
He understood what she had said. He knew that she wanted to get some late-night food, not eat it.
Wen Ran shook her head, “I’m not hungry. If you are, we can go eat something first. Then, we can bring some back for Qin Mu and Sister Li. They’re working overtime at the factory. After us being at a concert, we really owe it to them.” “Alright then, don’t you like barbecue? I’ll treat you.”
MO Xiuchen agreed without hesitation. He wasn’t fond of such food himself, but seeing Wen Ran enjoy it so much, he couldn’t help but share in her happiness. As long as they didn’t eat it every day, once in a while was fine.
“Great!”
The moment barbeque was mentioned, Wen Ran immediately smiled with satisfaction. Seeing her cheerful smile over such a small matter, MO Xiuchen’s heart pounded..
