Chapter 135 - 135: Do you feel heartbroken?

Influenced by her smile, MO Xiuchen couldn’t help but let his lips curl up perfectly, softly responding, “Alright, I’ll go get the car.”

“Ah, no need to drive, it’s not far ahead. We can walk, it will only take a few minutes.”

The sunlight was shining perfectly on Wen Ran’s upturned face, the glistening golden color in her smiling eyes was so dazzling that it was bewitching. MO Xiuchen’s heart shuddered a bit. If she wanted him to walk with her, even if it took half an hour, he would agree without hesitation.

However, he hadn’t forgotten the way she put her hand up to shield her eyes from the light, even though it was autumn, the recent days of constant sunshine still made it feel hot.

“We have an umbrella in the car, let’s take it. I wouldn’t want to see you sunburnt.”

MO Xiuchen held Wen Ran’s hand as they walked to the car park. He took out an umbrella from the car. Naturally, being taller, he held the umbrella and wrapped her in his embrace, shielding her under the umbrella, while he himself was half outside it.

“It’s good that it’s sunlight, or else if it were raining, you’d be drenched like a soup chicken. ”

Wen Ran looked at MO Xiuchen, the majority of his body exposed to the sun outside the umbrella while she didn’t have a strand of hair kissed by the sun. Her heart swelled warm and sweet inexplicably.

MO Xiuchen simply smiled, “I’m a man, it’s okay if I get tanned. But you are different, your skin is so delicate, it would be heartbreaking if it got tanned.”

She wasn’t sure if it was because his heated words brushed against her ears or it was because of his heartwarming remark that caused her heart to beat a little faster, and a blush of pink spread across her pale cheeks.

She glanced at him, a retort of “Are you heartbroken?” slipped from her lips. She almost wished she could bite off her tongue. Even though MO Xiuchen was not much of a talker, she never seemed to have the upper hand in their conversations.

Upon this realization, her already flushed face turned even redder.

MO Xiuchen simply smiled, bending his head, his lips brushed past her ears, ambiguously uttering, “What do you think?”

Rather than a rhetorical question, it felt more like flirtation, and that too in the middle of the street. Especially, the mischievous sparkle in his eyes added an undefinable charm.

Her face flushed from the root of her ears, annoyed, she stomped her foot, ran out from under the umbrella and entered the noodle shop, yelling at the owner, “Boss, two bowls of spicy beef noodles please!”

The smile on MO Xiuchen’s face deepened at her flustered retreat into the noodle shop, and he let out a chuckle. The echo of her retort “Are you heartbroken?” still lingered in his mind, softening his heart into a small body of water.

Not only was Wen Ran a foodie, but she was also an omnivore. With a bowl of nose-stinging spicy beef noodles, MO Xiuchen couldn’t help but frown, while she was salivating.

“I’m treating you in today’s lunch, so you must finish it.”

Seeing Wen Ran’s smile, MO Xiuchen felt extremely helpless. He didn’t like spicy food from his childhood, except a little bit of it. As for something super spicy like these beef noodles, it definitely wouldn’t be enjoyable for him.

Knowing that she was seeking revenge for him kissing her on the street, MO Xiuchen couldn’t help a bitter laugh. It seemed that playing the rogue was not such a good idea after all.

Wen Ran took a bite, lifted her head, and seeing that MO Xiuchen was still sitting there not moving his chopsticks, a sly smile flashed in her eyes. She took a piece of beef from his bowl, dipped it into the super spicy broth and fed it to MO Xiuchen, chuckling, “Young Master MO, why aren’t you eating? Come, taste this beef, I promise after you taste one piece, you’ll want to gulp down the entire broth.”

MO Xiuchen saw his own reflection in her smiling eyes, and a smile surfaced in his eyes too. His seductive thin lips slowly parted, accepting the piece of beef she was feeding him.

The second the beef entered his mouth, his smile froze. The strong taste of spiciness quickly spread from his tongue, filling his mouth with a numbing sensation. He hadn’t even swallowed it yet and already felt like coughing due to the spicy taste.

“Is it good?”

Wen Ran blinked her eyes, full of laughing, watching MO Xiuchen, not letting any of his minor facial changes escape her sight.

MO Xiuchen didn’t dare to chew slowly, swallowing the beef in his mouth. The spicy flavor traveled all the way to his stomach.

Sweat seeped out between his tall nostrils. Not wanting the little girl in front of him to underestimate him, he nodded his head with a smile, “Hmm, it tastes good, you go ahead and eat, don’t mind me.”

As he finished speaking, he reached out for his phone. Wen Ran squinted her eyes suspiciously at his side.

Originally, she felt a bit ‘sympathetic’ when she saw him sweating from just one bite of spicy beef and thought about suggesting to him to stop eating. However, seeing how Young Master MO wanted to act tough, there seemed to be no need for her to change his bowl. As she lifted her head after taking a bite, she saw him taking out his phone. With a surprised tone, Wen Ran asked: “What are you doing with your phone during mealtime?”

“I suddenly remembered that I forgot to tell Little Liu something important. Ranran, you go ahead and eat. I’ll make a call and eat the noodles once they’re less hot.”

MO Xiuchen was already dialing Little Liu’s number as he spoke. The restaurant was a bit noisy, so he got up and walked outside.

Wen Ran chuckled, not exposing his excuse of making a phone call to avoid eating his bowl of noodles. Captivated by the rich aroma, she lowered her head and started eating in earnest.

MO Xiuchen stepped outside the restaurant. On the other end of the line, Little Liu’s voice sounded a bit sullen, “Young Master, what can I do for you?”

“Get to Kangning Hospital right away.”

MO Xiuchen’s eyes, tranquil like a lake, pointed towards the diagonally opposite hospital, giving his command with a slightly heavy tone. “Young Master, I haven’t finished watching the video yet.”

Little Liu’s tone was clearly annoyed. Last night, the young master actually told him to find Doctor Gu today to get Cheng Jia’s hospital video and watch it all.

He hated having any contact with Cheng Jia. Cheng Jia was obedient in front of the young master, but she looked arrogantly disdainful in front of him, as if she were above him.

This morning, when he served her food, she was also bossy towards him. Now, at the sound of MO Xiuchen telling him to go to the hospital, he instinctively resisted.

As astute as MO Xiuchen was, how could he not know what Little Liu was thinking? He furrowed his eyebrows slightly and briefly explained: “You’re not going to see Cheng Jia. Wen Ran and I are at Zailai Beef Noodle Restaurant, across from the hospital. Come here and finish this bowl of beef noodles.”

“Eating beef noodles? Okay, Young Master, I’ll be right there.”

In less than a minute, Little Liu’s tone went from grief to joy.

A smile tugged at the corner of MO Xiuchen’s mouth, “Hmm, hurry up. After eating the noodles, you have to send Wen Ran to work at the company. My dad has been admitted to the hospital, and I can’t leave for a while.”

“Ah, what happened to the chairman?”

MO Jingteng was hospitalized due to a fainting spell at the club at noon. Xiao Wenqing had informed MO Zixuan, but MO Xiuchen hadn’t informed anyone. Little Liu was taken aback by MO Xiuchen’s words.

“Nothing much. Just hurry over.”

MO Xiuchen wasn’t in the mood to waste time with him any longer, and hung up after speaking.

After hanging up on Little Liu, MO Xiuchen didn’t turn back into the restaurant.

He stood tall and upright outside the restaurant and dialed Qin Mu’s number. Unbeknownst to him, the sight of him unintentionally advertised the small noodle shop, and in just a few minutes, most of the customers who came in to eat were women.

“Hello, Xiuchen?”

After several rings, the phone was finally picked up. Qin Mu’s voice sounded a little lethargic, as if he was napping..
