Chapter 70: 070 Meeting the Appointment
Translator: 549690339
MO Xiuchen hung up the call and didn’t immediately get out of the car, sitting gloomily in the driver’s seat, giving off a chilly aura.
Inside the confined and small compartment of the car, the air was suffocatingly stale.
Looking at his frosty handsome face, Wen Ran couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy within her heart. She moistened her lips and softly asked, “MO Xiuchen, are you okay?”
MO Xiuchen originally had his eyes fixed forward. Upon hearing her words, he turned to her. Perhaps because of the dim light, his eyes were icy cold.
Wen Ran was startled, and unconsciously shrank back.
“Get out of the car!”
MO Xiuchen looked at her for a moment, suppressing the turbulent emotion within him, and responded indifferently.
As the extravagant and lavish European-style architecture of the MO family came into view, Wen Ran clearly felt MO Xiuchen’s hands tighten around the car’s steering wheel. She looked up to see his lips thin and pressed together, his facial features cold and stern.
“MO Xiuchen! ”
Wen Ran looked at him and softly called out his name.
MO Xiuchen glanced at her, then turned his head back and slowed down. “If you don’t want to have dinner with them, we can go back now.”
As Wen Ran said these words, MO Xiuchen’s body stiffened. This time, he didn’t turn to look at her, he simply replied coldly, “It’s fine!”
The reason MO Xiuchen had agreed to dinner, was because MO Jingteng had suggested that he and Wen Ran also hold a wedding. He could stand not wishing for MO Jingteng to prepare a wedding for them, but he knew of the rules within the MO family since he was a child.
He also knew that due to Wen Ran’s previous relationship with MO Zixuan, MO Jingteng did not recognize her status. Now that he was willing to acknowledge her, it didn’t matter if he had to force himself a little.
The car drove into the grand entrance of the MO family’s estate, and saw MO Jingteng walking from the direction of the left pavilion with Cheng Jia following alongside him.
Seeing MO Xiuchen’s car, his eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his weathered face. One glance was enough to tell everyone how much he adored his son. “Chairman, Young Master MO is here.”
Cheng Jia joyfully spoke, lowered her eyes to look at her dress, discreetly clutched the hem of her skirt, and swept away strands of hair that fell on her face to behind her ear. A radiant smile filled her face as she looked expectantly at the Aston that had parked in the distance, waiting for the passengers to get out.
MO Xiuchen got out of the car, walked around the vehicle, and courteously opened the car’s door for Wen Ran. Despite his cold expression, his eyes were warm when looking at her, “Get out of the car!”
“Thank you! ”
Wen Ran nodded with a slight smile, bent her body to crawl out of the car, and as soon as she stood upright, a firm hand held onto her slender waist. The warmth of the man’s breath fell on her ear, “Stay with me tonight. Don’t wander around.”
Wen Ran looked into his deep-set eyes and softly answered, “I know!”
A short distance away, Cheng Jia watched as MO Xiuchen’s hand remained around Wen Ran’s waist, jealousy sprouted in her, but she kept a gentle smile on her face. She gazed lovingly at the man’s sturdy figure under the twilight.
MO Xiuchen led Wen Ran to MO Jingteng and respectfully called, “Dad!” Wen
Ran also followed suit by calling “Dad!”
MO Jingteng chuckled slightly, not showing any adverse feelings towards Wen
Ran. He pointed to the villa behind and said, “We were just waiting for you two.
Aunt Xiao is chatting with Zhou Lin in the living room, let’s go in too!”
MO Xiuchen responded unenthusiastically, while Cheng Jia, who noticed that his hand hadn’t left Wen Ran’s waist, asked with a smile, “Young Master MO, may I borrow Miss Wen for a few minutes? I want to talk privately with her..”
