Chapter 273: 272 Don ‘t worry, you won I t die.
At this point, he paused, his smile fading before voiceing his worry, “But can the old man handle it? Ever since he was hospitalized from anger due to you, his health seems to have worsened.”
MO Xiuchen dismissed his concerns with a cold snort, “If he couldn’t handle it, he wouldn’t go on a solo trip. Rest assured, he won’t drop dead.”
A slight twitch appeared in Luo Haofeng’s mouth corner, he admired, “Alright, you know your grandfather well. When do you plan to tell him, or will you wait for his return?
“I’ll give him a call later to check on him. He can’t always be out there, losing face so far from home, it’s time for him to return!”
“So, what about Anlian? Do we reject them, or…?”
“Have their boss call me, I want to talk to him personally.”
Luo Haofeng understood his meaning, raised a brow, and said cheerfully, ‘OK’.
He then turned his head to look at Wen Ran, noticing that she had been working quietly as if she had not heard their conversation. His eyes narrowed and a smile appeared on his face. He walked up to her desk and gently knocked on it, “Wen Ran!” “What’s up?
Luo Haofeng chuckled, “Can I ask you a favor?”
Wen Ran arched a brow, prompting him to continue with a glance.
Luo Haofeng cleared his throat before slowly speaking, “This weekend, could you find something for Bai Xiaoxiao to do? Don’t let her have too much free time.”
From behind his desk, MO Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed slightly, a sexy smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Wen Ran blinked, playing dumb, “Why, I don’t even have much to do on weekends, not to mention finding something for her to do.”
Luo Haofeng furrowed his brow, offering a suggestion, “Since you have nothing to do, you two could do volunteer work, visit a nursing home, donate stuff to an orphanage, anything, as long as you can keep Bai Xiaoxiao occupied.”
“Pfft, Luo Haofeng, why should I help you?
Watching Luo Haofeng’s furrowed brow, Wen Ran couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
It seemed that he was driven mad by the annoying Bai Xiaoxiao, hence the request for her help.
However, it was his own fault for provoking Bai Xiaoxiao and even dared to forcefully kiss her…
“MO Xiuchen! ”
Unable to persuade Wen Ran, Luo Haofeng turned to MO Xiuchen for help.
The latter caught his gaze, a deeper smile appeared on his lips as he gracefully emerged from behind his desk.
A few moments later, his towering figure stood before Wen Ran; he took the pen from her hand, softly saying, “Ranran, don’t always be at work, take some rest. ”
Luo Haofeng gaped, staring oddly at MO Xiuchen.
MO Xiuchen lightly laughed, gently bending his waist and placing his hand on her shoulder. His gentle massaging motions, along with his reassuring words, left Luo Haofeng utterly surprised, “Ranran, Haofeng has to work overtime this week. I’ve suddenly replaced three of our company partners, which directly affects Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi’s lifelines, they surely won’t just sit and wait.”
The shock in Luo Haofeng’s eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a fulfilled smile.
He gave MO Xiuchen a grateful look; even overtime was a better fate than facing Bai Xiaoxiao.
Especially since he considered himself a gentleman who was willing to make good on his bets, therefore, every time Bai Xiaoxiao entered the riding field, he was transformed from a handsome and charming man to an obedient groom.
This was truly an affront to his dignity.
Wen Ran enjoyed MO Xiuchen’s service and naturally couldn’t refuse him. She thought for a moment, looking a bit troubled, “Alright, I’ll try.”
Luo Haofeng’s eyes lit up, immediately expressing his gratitude, “Thank you, Wen Ran. Later, let MO Xiuchen take you shopping and buy a few clothes on my tab.”
Afterwards, Luo Haofeng left the office promptly, not wanting to remain a third wheel any longer.
“Do we really have to work this weekend?”
Wen Ran looked up at MO Xiuchen.
His expression was relaxed, his smile charming. Especially the unfathomable adoration peeking through his eyes.
“Yes, we really have to work. The replacement of those three companies will bring a lot of tedious work, especially in the area of security systems…”
“I thought you were just making excuses to help Luo Haofeng.”
Wen Ran nodded in understanding having heard his explanation.
Anlian Building Materials, Qida Electronics, and Linhui Technology, all big companies that have been in cooperation with MS Group for several years. To replace them all at once will inevitably require a lot of effort.
“Since that’s the case, I can just talk to Xiaoxiao. She probably won’t want to torment Luo Haofeng whenever she gets the chance.”
“Mmm!”
MO Xiuchen stopped his massage, his hand still on her shoulder, whispered, “Ranran, you heard what Ah Feng said earlier. Don’t leave my side these days.
I’m worried that Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi might do something crazy.”
When the enemy was hidden and his intentions exposed, even someone as shrewd and wise as MO Xiuchen would have his worries.
Especially since Wu Tianyi and Xiao Wenqing erased MO Zixuan’s memory, it was clear they were targeting Wen Ran.
If they went for him directly, he wouldn’t be afraid at all.
But deep concern brings chaos.
The more he worried about Wen Ran, the more restless he became. Wen Ran saw the worry in his eyes, placed her hand on top of his and gently said, “Don’t worry, my brother has already agreed to let me be your secretary for a week. I’ll be with you 24/7 during this period, but don’t get annoyed at me.”
At the end, her tone had a tinge of light-heartedness and cheekiness, she didn’t want MO Xiuchen to worry that much.
MO Xiuchen smiled, “Not just for a few days, even if you stay with me all your life, I won’t get annoyed. Did your brother finish reading Zhou Mingfu’s diary? Did he find any clues?”
“My brother said that he’s found some clues and has handed it over to the police. They should be able to uncover the truth soon.”
MO Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed, a trace of coldness passed through his gaze. It appeared that Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi wouldn’t be free for much longer.
Wen Ran pursed her lips, her soft voice tainted with sadness, “I wish the case could be resolved before my parents’ birthday.”
“When are our parents’ birthdays?”
MO Xiuchen was slightly taken aback, looking at Wen Ran with a sympathetic gaze.
“My mom and dad’s birthdays are on the same day, and their birthdays are just a few days away. Every year, on that day, our family would celebrate together.
But this year…”
Wen Ran couldn’t finish her sentence. The simultaneous loss of her parents was a reminder of her heartache and it seemed to take her breath away.
MO Xiuchen felt a slight tightening in his chest. Taking over her unfinished sentence, he softly comforted her, “This year, I’ll accompany you. We’ll celebrate our parents’ birthdays together..”
