Cheng Jia’s facial expression changed. Biting her lip, she then gently replied, “Okay,” before looking down at the menu intently.
Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran walked towards Gu Kai and Cheng Jia’s table. Cheng Jia had just ordered and saw Mo Xiuchen coming back. She smiled brightly and deliberately ignored Wen Ran, who was beside Mo Xiuchen. Then Cheng Jai asked cheerfully, “Young Master Mo, what do you like to eat? Let me order for you.”
Hearing this, Mo Xiuchen didn’t answer immediately, but he pulled out a chair for Wen Ran in a gentlemanly manner and let her sit down before he pulled a chair for himself and took a seat.
Mo Xiuchen ignored Cheng Jia’s question. However, she wasn’t discouraged. She asked again, looking at Wen Ran curiously, “Young Master Mo, who is this young lady?”
After Wen Ran sat down, she calmly met Cheng Jia’s gaze and noticed that she was sizing her up. Cheng Jia was smiling at her, but Wen Ran could see the insincerity behind that smile.
“She’s my wife, Wen Ran.”
Mo Xiuchen raised his head and asked the waiter next to him to bring a new menu, then handed it to Wen Ran. He then briefly introduced Cheng Jia, “She’s Cheng Jia, and she works at the Nanqin Hotel, which is under MS Corporation.”
Wen Ran was surprised. The woman sitting across from her was similar to her in age. Judging from her clothes, she was either from an affluent family, or she just liked designer brands.
However, since she was having dinner with Mo Xiuchen and Gu Kai, she was definitely someone with a high position, not a mere rank and file in a hotel under the MS Corporation. Cheng Jia immediately got up and offered to shake Wen Ran’s hand. “Nice to meet you, Miss Wen.”
Wen Ran’s eyes widened, but she didn’t stand up. Instead, she remained seated as she stretched out her hand to shake hands with Cheng Jia. A small smile appeared on her face while she said aloofly, “Nice to meet you too, Miss Cheng.”
The reason she didn’t stand up was that Cheng Jia didn’t call her ‘Mrs. Mo’, but Miss Wen instead. At the same time, Cheng Jia didn’t use honorifics towards her.
Since she worked in a hotel and was part of the hospitality industry, she should be more attentive in this regard. It could be observed that she addressed her that way deliberately, or rather, she was hinting at something.
“Order whatever you like.”
Next to her, Mo Xiuchen ordered quietly. Wen Ran smiled at him and ordered four dishes, two of which he liked and two of which Mo Xiuchen liked.
Mo Xiuchen was surprised to hear Wen Ran ordering his favorite dishes. However, he didn’t say a word and remained indifferent.
“Wen Ran, you and Xiu Chen have only been married for a few days, but you already know what he likes to eat. It seems that you two are getting along really well.”
Across from them, Gu Kai smiled meaningfully, glancing between Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran.
Wen Ran blushed. She wasn’t used to being teased with Mo Xiuchen. Meanwhile, Mo Xiuchen grinned and said, “If you’re envious, why don’t you find someone that understands your preferences?”
The smile on Gu Kai’s face suddenly disappeared. He shook his head and replied, “I still prefer scalpels and laboratories. I’m not in the mood to deal with troublesome creatures like women.”
“Young Master Gu, aren’t you afraid of causing public outrage if you say this? No matter what, Miss Wen and I are both women,” Cheng Jia chimed in.
Then she looked at Wen Ran again and asked with a smile, “Miss Wen, do you want to go to the bathroom? Let’s go together.”
Seeing her standing up, Wen Ran smiled and nodded, then answered, “Okay.” She got up and left with her.
It wasn’t until they disappeared in the hall that Gu Kai asked Mo Xiuchen, “Xiuchen, how did the investigation go? Is Cheng Jia the little girl we’ve been looking for?”
Mo Xiuchen retracted his gaze, saw the expectant look on Gu Kai’s face, and asked instead, “Has the identification results come out? Is she your long lost sister?”
