Chapter 89: How could you not give me face?

“Wait a moment.”

Wen Ran smiled at him, got up, walked over to the bed, opened the drawer, and pulled out a planning proposal.

A flicker of light shone in MO Xiuchen’s eyes, and he narrowed them slightly, leaning his head and picked up a piece of egg with his chopsticks to feed himself.

When Wen Ran returned with the planning proposal, her smile looked a bit forced, she sat back down on the sofa, and spread out the proposal on the solid wood coffee table. She then introduced it to MO Xiuchen, “This is a proposal from Xiaoxiao’s father’s company. She asked me to show it to you. No matter what the outcome, as long as you’ve read it, that’s all that matters to her.”

Under MO Xiuchen’s gaze, Wen Ran’s smile turned rigid, seemingly afraid that he might get angry. She clarified her stance right from the start, that it wasn’t necessary for him to collaborate with Xiaoxiao’s father’s company, but rather to give them an opportunity.

MO Xiuchen leaned to the side, his gaze calm and composed, as he looked at her, his handsome brows revealing no discernible emotion.

The smile on Wen Ran’s face faded away. She gently pursed her lips, feeling a sense of pressure due to their close proximity. She unexpectedly found herself becoming nervous.

MO Xiuchen simply looked at her, not speaking, but his silence exerted an overwhelming pressure.

After a long silence, Wen Ran could no longer withstand his oppressive calm. Her small hand quietly extended towards the coffee table, prepared to retrieve the planning proposal, intending to explain the situation to Xiaoxiao the next day instead.

But MO Xiuchen suddenly spoke, his deep magnetic voice asking a question unrelated to the proposal, “Are you and Bai Xiaoxiao good friends?”

Upon hearing his words, Wen Ran’s hand, which was just about to touch the proposal, retracted in surprise. She abruptly raised her head, meeting his deep eyes that resembled the still depths of a quiet pool. Her thoughts raced as she quickly nodded, “Yes, Xiaoxiao is my best friend. When my family experienced difficulties, she was the only one who stayed by my side.”

“MO Xiuchen, I’m not asking you to agree to partner with Uncle Bai’s company. It’s just that Xiaoxiao sought me out, and I thought you could take a look. I really am not asking you to agree to anything, I promise!”

To show her sincerity, she even raised a hand, looking at him earnestly.

MO Xiuchen’s expression relaxed. Each time he saw her nervous yet adorable demeanor, he couldn’t help but feel his heart soften. He reached out to stroke her hair, his voice gentle, “Put the proposal back on the bedside table. Let me finish these noodles, and then I will look at it carefully.”

“You’re willing to take a look?”

A delighted smile bloomed on Wen Ran’s face. During the minute of silence, she thought he was angry.

Seeing the radiant smile on her face, MO Xiuchen couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile. He spoke in a teasing tone, “You’ve already said that Bai Xiaoxiao is your best friend. How could I not give it a look for your sake? But I’m just promising to look at it. If the outcome isn’t favorable, don’t blame me.”

Wen Ran quickly shook her head, “No, no, I’m already grateful that you’re willing to look at it. MO Xiuchen, thank you!”

She might not have completely understood MO Xiuchen before, but ever since the day he suddenly proposed to her, she had taken the time to research about him online. Aside from the rumors about him being impotent, people spoke of his ruthless indifference. In the business world, he was known for his sharp intelligence and fierce tactics…

It was precisely for these reasons that she was incredibly grateful.

After swallowing the last of his noodles, MO Xiuchen asked her with concern,

“Are you ready for your business trip tomorrow? Did you pack everything you need?”

Wen Ran nodded and pointed to a small suitcase at the end of the bed, “It’s all prepared. I even double-checked everything, there will be no mistakes.”

“What time is your flight?”

“Nine o’clock. Xiaoxiao is coming with me.”

“Hmm. I have to go to the construction site tomorrow morning, so I won’t be able to send you off. I’ll have Little Liu drive you to the airport in the morning.

Call me once you reach F City.”

Wen Ran agreed to MO Xiuchen’s considerate arrangements with a smile, saying that she didn’t need him to see her off. He then asked her about the preparations for the pharmaceutical conference, which she responded to one by one.

After MO Xiuchen finished his noodles, Wen Ran took the initiative to bring the bowl downstairs. She had wanted to wash the dishes, but surprisingly found Nanny Zhang waiting in the living room. Nanny Zhang insisted on grabbing the bowl from her and told her to go upstairs to sleep.

Wen Ran intentionally lingered downstairs for a few minutes. When she returned to the bedroom, MO Xiuchen was already in bed, leisurely leaning against the headboard. His long, defined fingers held the proposal. As she approached the bed, he closed the proposal and called her to sleep.

“Alright!”

Wen Ran obediently agreed and didn’t ask him about the outcome. She climbed into the bed and allowed him to pull her into his arms.

It wasn’t until she was almost asleep that she heard MO Xiuchen whisper something into her ear. She didn’t catch what he had said, and was too tired to open her eyes. So, she fell asleep in his embrace.

MO Family, early morning

Xiao Wenqing woke up early to personally prepare breakfast for MO Jingteng and MO Zixuan.

A hint of surprise flashed through MO Jingteng’s eyes as he allowed his gaze to rest on her radiant smiling face for a moment, “Why are you cooking yourself?”

Xiao Wenqing approached him with a gentle smile, “I haven’t prepared any meals for you and Zixuan in a long time. I prepared your favorite breakfast items this morning.”

As her voice trailed off, her smile faded as she lowered her voice, “Jingteng, I shouldn’t have argued with you the other day, please don’t be angry with me.”

MO Jingteng let out a sigh. Lately, he had been busy with work and late-night social commitments that he hadn’t been able to find time to sleep with her.

Now that she had taken the initiative to apologize, of course he wouldn’t continue to be angry with her. He explained to her in a light tone, “I’m not angry with you. I’ve just been very busy these days. Look at you, your face is all flushed. Why are you still wearing a scarf in this heat? Come here, let me help you take it off.”

As he reached out to her, Xiao Wenqing’s eyes flickered. She stepped back, rapidly explaining, “No need, I’m not hot.”

MO Jingteng narrowed his eyes, looking at Xiao Wenqing suspiciously, “Why are you so nervous?”

Xiao Wenqing immediately tried to hide her unease, a smile quickly returning to her face as she stroked the scarf around her neck, “I’m not nervous, I just… I specially coordinated this outfit today. Don’t you see how well the outfit matches this scarf? If I were to take off the scarf, the effect will be lost.’

MO Jingteng gave her an once-over, and was about to ask her something when MO Zixuan quirkily came down from upstairs. Upon seeing him, Xiao Wenqing immediately shifted the topic, “Zixuan, I was about to call you down. Hurry, your mother has made your favorite breakfast. Jingteng, you and Zixuan head to the dining room first. I’ll go get the breakfast.”

Having said that, she quickly turned and headed towards the kitchen.

As MO Jingteng watched Xiao Wenqing’s figure rapidly move towards the kitchen, a hint of confusion flickered in his eyes. Then suddenly, MO Zixuan’s voice came from behind him, “Dad, I have something to discuss with you.” f reewe bnovel

“What is it?”

He set aside his confusion, turned around, and saw MO Zixuan. He then walked towards the dining room.

Once inside the dining room, MO Zixuan respectfully pulled out a chair for MO Jingteng, and only sat down next to him once he was seated.

“What is it?”

Seeing MO Zixuan’s deference, MO Jingteng asked in a mild tone..
