Chapter 381: I just love you too much
Wen Ran asked with a smile, she had just been bombarded with questions about Luo Haofeng by those women.
“Wen Jin, he might be coming tonight. A lot of them know Shen Yulan and are aware that she’s interested in Gu Kai. That’s why they are inquiring. Only one person is asking about Gu Kai, it’s Wen Jin’s group.”
“Xiaoxiao, you remember things quite clearly.”
Wen Ran truly couldn’t remember. Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes shone as she looked to one side, “Where did Mo Xiuchen from your house go? Why can’t I see him?”
Wen Ran followed her gaze, only to see Gu Kai and Wen Jin, and Lu Zhiyan among the crowd. Not only Mo Xiuchen was missing, but Luo Haofeng was also nowhere to be seen.
“Maybe he went outside. Do you want to go out and get some fresh air? The flowers in the backyard are in full bloom.”
“Okay!”
Bai Xiaoxiao quickly agreed. She also wanted to get out and get some fresh air. There were too many people in the house, and the air wasn’t good.
The Gu family’s house is large. Outside the villa is an open grassland, a large fish pond on both sides, and a mountainous feature. The backyard garden is situated behind this feature, and upon entering from the front gate, the fragrance of flowers hits you, and yet you can’t see where the flowers are blooming.
Wen Ran pushed Bai Xiaoxiao out of the living room and was greeted by a blast of cold air.
“The temperature inside and outside is really different.”
Bai Xiaoxiao looked around the grassland under the dim light. Besides, it was winter season, but the grass was still green, making it quite pleasant to look at.
“Yes, but it’s not too cold. Are you cold, Xiaoxiao?”
Wen Ran pushed Bai Xiaoxiao towards the right. It was closer to the backyard from here. The instant they stepped out, they could smell the scent of the blooming flowers.
“I’m not cold. After being cooped up inside for so long, the air outside is really good, especially the scent of the flowers…”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s words were abruptly cut off.
She looked up at Wen Ran in astonishment. Her voice was a bit odd: “Ranran!”
Wen Ran was looking down, hearing her, she looked confused. Following the direction of Xiaoxiao’s pointing finger, she suddenly stopped.
At this moment, they were standing next to the artificial mountain on the right. This place is the dimmest part of the villa. From here, one can get a relatively clear view of the backyard.
But there, in the garden, that familiar figure, made her heart skip a beat.
She stared at the two figures in the distance. She couldn’t clearly make out their facial expressions, nor could she hear what they were saying.
“Ranran, you go and ask Mo Xiuchen now…”
“Xiaoxiao, be quiet!”
Wen Ran suddenly covered Bai Xiaoxiao’s mouth. She watched the two people in the distance carefully. Shen Yuting ran into Mo Xiuchen’s embrace, but Mo Xiuchen seemed to push her away, and she ran into him again.
Her hand, gripping the wheelchair, tightened and loosened.
She didn’t catch what Shen Yuting said at the beginning, but a gust of wind blew part of her sentence over: “Xiuchen, why… Where do I fall short compared to Ranran? Why don’t you like me!”
Her voice was filled with sorrow and pain, and even deep despair.
Looking at the man who pushed her away, she suddenly took off her shawl and said eagerly, “They all say that men think with their lower body. How can you know that you don’t like me if you don’t try?”
“Shen Yuting, you’re crazy!”
Mo Xiuchen was suddenly annoyed. He stepped forward to stop Shen Yuting from removing her clothes.
“I’m not crazy, I just love you too much. I can’t live without you.”
Shen Yuting struggled and cried. When Mo Xiuchen stepped forward to stop her, she once again took the opportunity to hug him. In the next second, she was pushed away by Mo Xiuchen, fell to the ground with a low cry and her arm was injured by a rose bush.
“Xiuchen!”
Shen Yuting disregarded the pain in her arm and sadly looked at Mo Xiuchen with despair in her eyes. She couldn’t believe he could push her like that.
Mo Xiuchen’s brow was furrowed as he took out his phone, dialed Gu Kai’s number, and said into the phone, “Ah Kai, come to the back and take Shen Yuting away. She’s drunk.”
After he finished speaking, he looked coldly at Shen Yuting again, then bent down to pick up the bouquet he had temporarily put on the ground when Shen Yuting rushed over. He turned around, planning to return from the other side.
Before he even lifted his foot, he suddenly froze.
A mixture of emotions surged in his eyes, like a roaring tide.
At a distance by the artificial mountain, Wen Ran was standing with Bai Xiaoxiao.
For some reason, his heart suddenly sank. His deep gaze locked onto Wen Ran. In the dim light, he couldn’t see her face clearly. He turned his head and looked at Shen Yuting, who had fallen to the ground, then quickly walked towards her.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened. Just moments ago, she was wondering why Mo Xiuchen had come to the backyard with Shen Yuting. But now, seeing the bouquet in his hand, she suddenly understood.
He did not come to the backyard with Shen Yuting. He probably had come out first, and Shen Yuting followed him here.
“Ranran, I will step aside for now. You wait here for Mo Xiuchen.”
Bai Xiaoxiao watched as Mo Xiuchen walked toward them. She knew that Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen needed to speak alone. She pushed the wheelchair and went back.
Wen Ran didn’t stop her, but stood stiffly on the spot, staring blankly ahead.
Her mind was in chaos.
Her mind was somewhat short-circuited, and she couldn’t figure out what she was thinking. From the very beginning when she saw Mo Xiuchen and Shen Yuting ‘holding each other’, to later when Shen Yuting was pushed away by him. When she started to undress, he moved forward to stop her, and she fell into his arms once again…
In these few short minutes, her heart had experienced more ups and downs than a roller coaster ride, the suffocation was like a sudden rush of sweet and sour flavors of love. After the initial shock, the wave of sadness swept over her, followed by an epiphany, worry, and then she saw him bending down, turning around, and the gaze locked onto the bouquet in his hand.
Her gaze couldn’t leave the bouquet.
She felt suddenly very sad. Not because Mo Xiuchen met Shen Yuting, but rather because she herself distrusted Mo Xiuchen. She clearly understood his feelings for her, but in that moment, she experienced shock and sadness.
The suffocating feeling in her heart was because she didn’t trust him.
She assumed that he and Shen Yuting had something going on.
Looking at the man striding towards her, she felt an indescribable sorrow.
Mo Xiuchen approached step by step. He stopped about two steps away from Wen Ran. His tall figure, under the night sky, was as elegant and upright as pine.
He didn’t speak, but looked at her deeply.
In the dim light, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through her emotions. After staring at her for a moment, he realized her sadness and her teary eyes, he suddenly stepped forward, pulling her into his arms!
