The sun was already up when Wen Ran opened her eyes, but Mo Xiuchen wasn’t on the bed.
She wasn’t dreaming. It was real. She slept on the same bed as Mo Xiuchen. Such a pity that they did just that—sleep.
As soon as she got out of bed, her phone rang.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Wen Ran frowned. It was that wretched girl Bai Xiaoxiao, who must be calling to gossip.
Sure enough, before she could even utter the word “hello,” she could hear Bao Xiaoxiao’s voice, lively and excited. “Ran Ran, hurry up and tell me. What happened? Did you do it last night? Go big on the details!”
“We did nothing of the sort,” Wen Ran told her friend. “I was just looking to settle the account with you.”
Wen Ran scowled. Remembering how Mo Xiuchen saw her wearing the lingerie last night, she wanted to strangle that wretched girl Bai Xiaoxiao.
“Settlement? Have you been devoured and completely wiped out?”
Snickering at the other end of the line, Bai Xiaoxiao’s imagination was filled with perverted scenes. If it weren’t for the fact that they were talking through the phone, Wen Ran would have really come forward and grabbed Bai Xiaoxiao’s neck and then reprimand her for having such obscene thoughts.
“No, I’ve said it all. Mo Xiuchen is really se— sick in that respect.”
When Wen Ran said this, the spectacular scene of last night instantly appeared before her eyes, and her face turned red.
Fortunately, it was through the phone. Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t see her blushing. She comforted her. “Ran Ran, don’t get discouraged. Take your time. I’ll figure out a way for you to become a genuine wife as soon as possible.”
“Bai Xiaoxiao!” Wen Ran yelled. “I think you’re going crazy. If you’re that desperate, you can throw yourself at Brother Xiao.”
“Don’t mention him,” Bao Xiaoxiao warned. “I’ll get mad if you mention him again.”
When Wen Ran talked about Brother Xiao, Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly changed her tone. Wen Ran was startled. She blinked and asked, “Isn’t it Xiao Yuting who stood you up yesterday?”
“If It’s not him, who else? From now on, I, Bai Xiaoxiao, must forget Xiao Yuting.”
Bai Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and promised something she had said more than a thousand times. However, she was still infatuated with Xiao Yuting.
“I mean it. This time, I will try to get over him.”
Without hearing her, Bai Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and emphasized again, “Okay. If you mean it, you can go on a blind date.”
Wen Ran joked that if Bai Xiaoxiao were successful in forgetting Xiao Yuting, then the sun would rise from the west.

After talking on the phone with Bai Xiaoxiao, Wen Ran was about to go downstairs when the phone rang again. When she saw Mo Xiuchen’s name on the screen, a trace of surprise flashed through her face. Thinking that he was waiting for her to have breakfast, she didn’t answer the phone and quickly walked out of the room instead.
When she reached the stairwell, she looked down and saw that he wasn’t in the living room. She got confused and then pressed the answer button. “Hello?”
“I have to go on a business trip for a few days. Something came up at the last minute. It might take 10 and a half days.”
“Huh? Where are you now?”
Wen Ran quickly ran downstairs and went to the living room. With the phone still in her ear, she heard Mo Xiuchen said, “I’m on my way to the airport. It was a last-minute decision. If there’s a problem with the pharmaceutical factory, you can call Tan Mu.”
“All right. Look after your health. Don’t work too hard,” Wen Ran told him.
When she heard him say that he was going on a business trip, the first thing that occurred to her was that she wouldn’t have to sleep in the same bed as him again. She couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
