Chapter 449: 448 is waiting for me in Bali Island
Wen Ran quickly got dressed, while Mo Xiuchen only put on shorts, his sexy, lean torso still bare.
He reached out for his mobile phone on the table, passed it to Wen Ran with a smile, gently pulling her back to him and held her possessively in his arms. “Ranran, these past days, you didn’t call home, and I’ve kept my phone off, avoiding contact with everyone. Let’s listen to this call together.”
Having concluded a phone call with Gu Kai, prior to her return, he erased the call history, leaving Wen Ran oblivious.
“Okay.”
Wen Ran agreed to his proposition readily, turning on the phone with a bright smile. She quickly dialed a number, saying, “First, I’ll call my brother. You whisked me away so quietly, he must be worried.”
“I didn’t silence it. That night, I messaged everyone.” Mo Xiuchen defended himself innocently.
Wen Ran gave him a displeased look, remained silent, and calmly waited for the person on the other end to pick up.
After several rings, Wen Jin’s voice came through, “Hello, how are you?”
Wen Ran stared at the phone in astonishment for a few seconds before glancing back at Mo Xiuchen, who flashed her a reassuring smile, carelessly stating, “I changed to a new card.”
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Jin’s excited voice echoed in her ear, completely different from before, “Ranran, is that you?”
Wen Ran felt a twinge of guilt, she apologized, “Brother, it’s me.”
“Ranran, Mo Xiuchen said he took you out to have fun, but he didn’t mention the place, where are you guys? Are you having fun?”
Given Wen Jin played his part well, Wen Ran’s suspicions were significantly alleviated. She glanced back at Mo Xiuchen and, with a radiant smile, chirped light-heartedly, “Bro, we are at Bali Island right now. The scenery is stunning and fun. I’ve had such a blast these past few days that I forgot to call you guys. You aren’t mad, are you?”
Despite Mo Xiuchen forbidding her from making calls, not wishing for anyone to intrude into their private world, she generously took the blame without telling him off for not letting her make calls.
Wen Jin’s laughter came through the phone, “Of course not mad at you. If anything, it’s Mo Xiuchen’s fault for whisking you away in the middle of the night. You must be totally clueless then. But, having a good time – that’s what truly matters.”
“Bro, I’ve been having a blast, I even took loads of photos. I’ll send some to you later. If you miss me, you can look at the photos.”
“Okay, don’t rush to head back since you’re out there enjoying. If you love it there, stay a few more days. MS Group has Ah Feng, Ah Mu, and Zixuan, so there’s no rush for Mo Xiuchen’s return either. You can ask him to take you to other places for more fun.”
“Has Qin Mu returned? When did that happen?”
Wen Ran paused, glancing at Mo Xiuchen for answers but his shrug suggested that he was just as clueless.
“Yes, Mo Xiuchen sneaking you off for a jaunt, Ah Feng is not going to stand carrying the burden alone. Thus, Qin Mu was called back so he could leave when you return.”
Wen Jin patiently explained, his voice gentle and filled with subtle affection.
While Wen Ran was away, not only did he miss her, but he was also worried that in the Internet age, she might come across certain information even on Bali Island.
Luckily, she was oblivious to all.
“Brother, how’s your new secretary? Is her work performance satisfactory?” After a casual exchange with Wen Jin, Wen Ran then asked about the situation at Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory.
“Not bad, she lacks work experience but is hardworking and willing to learn.”
Wen Jin spoke indifferently. The new secretary was recruited by Li Qian. Li Qian guided her for one day, and it was up to her to catch up afterward.
“What about Sister Li, does she visit the factory?”
“She comes by occasionally.”
Bai Xiaoxiao was grumbling about Wen Ran, the ungrateful girl who was having the time of her life outdoors without bothering to call her, when her phone began to vibrate violently.
She excitedly picked up the phone, but her delight faded when she saw the unfamiliar number displayed on the screen. She accepted the call and answered flatly, “Hello?”
“Xiaoxiao, it’s me.”
The voice in her ears brightened her eyes instantaneously. Xiaoxiao exclaimed in joy, “Ranran, you heartless girl! You finally remembered me. I thought you and Mo Xiuchen eloped and will ignore me forever.”
“Eloping? What a description.”
Wen Ran retorted, saying she and Mo Xiuchen were just on vacation and wondered how it became an elopement incident when relayed by Bai Xiaoxiao.
“Okay fine, I got the description wrong. You and Mo Xiuchen are a legally married couple who are madly in love. You went off on a delayed honeymoon not an elopement. I don’t care, if you don’t bring me a gift when you return, I won’t speak with you.”
“What kind of gift you want?”
Wen Ran asked with a beaming smile.
“The seawater of Bali Island, the handsome guys of Bali, the delicious food of Bali, the specialties of Bali. Simply put, a lot of gifts…”
“Xiaoxiao, aside from the handsome guys of Bali, I can accommodate everything else. Have you been at home all these days while I am away? Didn’t Aunt Qiao arrange blind dates for you? Are you so bored that you’re tentatively asking for handsome guys now?”
Wen Ran teased her, thinking about the words Xiaoxiao dared to voice out.
“No blind dates. I’m almost growing mold at home. Since the day you gave that speech, my mom stopped making me go to blind dates.”
“Did Aunt Qiao forbid you from contacting Luo Haofeng?”
Wen Ran hummed from her end, showing her concern again.
“Why should I contact him? Starting from tomorrow, I’ll be starting my rehab. Wait for me in Bali. Once my leg is fine, I’ll fly to Bali to join you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao was back to her spirited self towards the end.
Wen Ran chuckled at her words, “Alright, I will be here waiting for you.”
“Ranran, it’s overtime.”
The call with Bai Xiaoxiao lasted half an hour, long past the ten minutes that Mo Xiuchen initially mentioned, as they had an inexhaustible list of topics to chat about.
Wen Ran pouted, “I still have one more call to make.”
“You said five minutes just now, but I generously gave you ten minutes, and now, you want to make another call, you have to give me something good.”
Mo Xiuchen presented an expression suggesting that if she didn’t offer him anything, he wouldn’t lend her his phone. Wen Ran, pouting cutely, gave him a flirtatious smile, wrapping her arms around his neck she said, “Xiuchen, can I trade a kiss for ten more minutes please? If you don’t agree, I will borrow someone else’s phone. I’m sure plenty would be willing to… um….”
Before she could finish her sentence, Mo Xiuchen’s eyes darkened, he held her head and bent down for a deep, passionate kiss!
