Wen Ran took out a tissue from the tissue box on the counter and handed it to her, then said softly, “I’m not going anywhere. What do you want to eat? I will treat you.”
After Bai Xiaoxiao cried, although her eyes were red and swollen, she was no longer as sad as before. After shedding tears, she felt okay. “I just saw the woman sitting across from you looking at Mo Xiuchen with adoration in her eyes. Ran Ran, even if Mo Xiuchen is sexually impotent, he is still your husband, so no other woman could lust over him other than you. You go back quickly. I’m really fine now.”
Wen Ran was surprised to hear that. She thought that Bai Xiaoxiao only had eyes for Xiao Yuting, literally and figuratively, so she wasn’t expecting that she would notice Cheng Jia.
However, Wen Ran didn’t want to leave Bai Xiaoxiao. She knew she needed a friend right now. Sisters before misters, so she shook her head and said, “I can’t stop other women from admiring him even if I go back…”
“Alright'” Bai Xiaoxiao interrupted. “I admit that it’s not for you and Mo Xiuchen. I just want to be alone.”
Her eyes were clouded again, and she looked at her imploringly. Wen Ran side-eyed her friend. After a moment, she sighed and asked uneasily, “Are you going home?”
“Yep, I’m going home.”
Staring at the steering wheel with empty eyes, Bai Xiaoxiao looked down.
“Call me back when you get home,” Wen Ran whispered, and Bai Xiaoxiao agreed. As soon as Wen Ran got out of the car, Bai Xiaoxiao immediately started the engine and drove.

After Bai Xiaoxiao left, Wen Ran hesitated to return to the restaurant. She wanted to eat something and take a taxi back to the factory, but Mo Xiuchen called.
She hailed a taxi. She was about to hop on when her phone rang. She took out her phone and pressed the answer button. Before she could speak, Mo Xiuchen’s low voice came from the other end, “Where are you going?”
Wen Ran was startled and turned to look at the restaurant. She looked around her, but she didn’t see Mo Xiuchen. Then she heard Mo Xiuchen said, “Come to the second floor.”
She wasn’t given a chance to refuse. After speaking, Mo Xiuchen immediately hung up.
Wen Ran frowned. She apologized to the taxi driver, then turned around and headed to the restaurant.
When she returned to the second floor, Mo Xiuchen seemed to have just taken his seat. He was holding a cup, then he took a sip. Cheng Jia put food on his plate and said softly, “Young Master Mo, I can also make this sweet and sour pork ribs. I can cook it when I have the opportunity. You should try my version.”
Mo Xiuchen didn’t respond. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Wen Ran, who was coming. He raised his hand and waved to the wait staff a few steps away. He immediately greeted her with a smile.
Wen Ran walked towards the table and heard the wait staff say, “Okay. Please wait a moment.” He turned around and left.
“This dish is already cold. I asked the staff to serve these two dishes you like.”
Mo Xiuchen pulled out the chair for Wen Ran as he talked. It was still where she had been sitting earlier. The difference was that, this time, after he pulled out the chair, his arm was on the back of her chair. Mo Xiuchen smelled great. Wen Ran found his scent enticing.
Across from them, the expression on Cheng Jia’s eyes changed slightly, but she managed to feign indifference and asked with concern, “Miss Wen, was there anything wrong with your friend?”
“She’s okay,” she assured Cheng Jia without looking at her.
Wen Ran’s ears suddenly felt warm. Mo Xiuchen’s slender fingers flicked a strand of hair behind her ear. She felt her earns warmed. She was hoping they didn’t turn red. Then Mo Xiuchen asked her, “If I hadn’t call you, would you have left by yourself?”
