Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 531: 530 Daydreaming

Gu Kai noted his father’s tiredness and felt a slight pang in his heart. Standing up, he spoke softly, “Dad, you should rest for a bit. I will have someone look into the phone number Ranran mentioned.”

“Go ahead!” Gu Yan waved his hand. Gu Kai did not hesitate, picked up the report from the table, and swiftly strode out of the office.

**

Gu Kai was quick; Wen Ran gave him a call and less than half an hour later, he called back.

“Ranran, the phone number you asked me to check, we have a result.”

His jovial and clear voice came across as a surprise. Wen Ran asked in a gentle voice, “This quick? What’s the result?”

“The owner of the number is Jiang Liu. If you want more detailed information, I can arrange for someone to dig up more.”

“Jiang Liu?”

Wen Ran quietly repeated the name, “Keep looking, what else can you find?”

“Personal information, residence, that sort of thing.” Gu Kai explained over the phone. After some thought, Wen Ran gently said, “Alright, then please go into more detail.”

“Ranran, why are you looking into this man called Jiang Liu? Do you know him?”

Driven purely by curiosity, Gu Kai asked. Wen Ran laughed lightly and said, “Just now, he called me, warning me about Cheng Jia. He also mentioned that tonight at the MS Group celebratory dinner, Cheng Jia will try to seduce Mo Xiuchen…”

She recounted what Jiang Liu had said on the phone to Gu Kai. Nothing was hidden. After hearing what she had to say, Gu Kai understood instantly, a faint smile on his lips, he calmly said:

“I see, I will have someone look into Jiang Liu to find out his background. I will let you know whatever I find. ”

“Mm, there isn’t any rush. I’m just curious about why he knows Cheng Jia and how well he seems to understand her.”

Wen Ran explained lightly.

Gu Kai chuckled knowingly on the other end, “I know. Don’t worry, I promise I will dig up all the details on this Jiang Liu and see what his relationship with Cheng Jia is – whether he really is warning you or if he has ulterior motives.”

Compared to Wen Ran’s instinctual trust towards Jiang Liu, Gu Kai saw more to it. A stranger suddenly warning Ranran so kindly, he suspected something fishy. He thought, how could he be so kind, solely out to warn Ranran?

MS Group

Today, Cheng Jia was in a great mood, adorned in beautiful makeup. In the morning, she had even handed out gifts to every colleague in her department.

Every time she thought of the celebration banquet that night, and how Mo General would publicly announce her promotion and raise, she was over the moon.

Two close colleagues took her by the arms, saying reluctantly, “Jiajia, starting tomorrow you’ll be working on the top floor with the CEO. Don’t forget about us, remember to visit when you have time!”

“Right, Jiajia, it’s a great fortune to work alongside the CEO, even spending the whole day with him. Perhaps in the near future, we will be calling you the CEO’s wife.”

“CEO’s wife, my greetings!”

Cheng Jia’s brows arched in amusement, laughter blooming in her heart at their banter. Out loud, she scolded, “Stop spouting nonsense. The CEO is a married man. Though Wen Ran hasn’t been showing up to work these past few days, she is still the CEO’s wife.”

“Let me tell you a sensational secret. I heard that the CEO and his wife are headed for a divorce.”

That person glanced around, lowered her voice, a shroud of intrigue across her face.

Struck with surprise, Cheng Jia and another person’s eyes widened. Thinking back to when Wen Ran came to find Mo Xiuchen and then her sudden departure from the firm, and how Mo Xiuchen skipped lunch, Cheng Jia asked with concern, “Who told you that?”

The person moved closer, gave Cheng Jia a suggestive look, and whispered conspiratorially, “A friend told me. Apparently it’s true. Jiajia, Wen Ran hasn’t been to work since you returned. I heard that that afternoon the CEO madly searched for her. Not just him, even President Qin and President Luo helped with the search. After that day, she hasn’t come to work, and the CEO…it’s as if he’s become a different person…”

“Could it be that Wen Ran found out about the rumor from a few days ago, about her infertility, and that’s why she wants to divorce the CEO?”

Another person blinked, speculating.

A mocking smirk surfaced in Cheng Jia’s eyes, she spoke with a sarcastic tone, “What brilliant man would want a woman who cannot have children. If it’s really so, it’s clear Wen Ran knows her place. An infertile woman… how could she be deserving of Mo General?”

“That’s what I was saying. Jiajia and the CEO are the perfect match. The CEO must have recognized this too, that’s why he made a public announcement about your promotion and agreed to bring you back to his side.”

“Mhm, our Jiajia is not only beautiful but also capable. When she stands beside Mo General, they are truly a golden couple. If I were Mo General, I would choose Jiajia too.”

Cheng Jia reveled in their flattery.

She couldn’t help but imagine the scene of her moving to the top floor, working in the same office with Mo Xiuchen. Even though Mo Xiuchen had knocked over their lunch and burned her leg that day, it didn’t affect her desire for him.

Especially when she heard her colleague say that Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran were getting a divorce, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Mo Xiuchen is a man of commitment. Wen Ran was the one who saved his life, and he had such deep feelings for her before.

Without a doubt, he would be upset and emotionally unstable now that Wen Ran wants to leave him.

If he was a man who disregarded bonds, she wouldn’t have loved him for so many years, nor would she have been unwilling to forget him.

She even started thinking about how to soothe the pain Wen Ran caused him, and help him heal from his previous marriage once she was by his side.

If she could bear his child, that would be even better. With a child, Mo Xiuchen would realize divorcing Wen Ran was the right choice. She was confident and patient enough to wait until Mo Xiuchen falls in love with her.

“I’ll go to the restroom.”

A thought suddenly struck her. She excused herself to the two colleagues and left the office to head towards the restroom.

Upon entering the restroom, she quickly took out her phone, dialed a number. After ringing several times without being picked up, a flash of annoyance crossed her face. Her eyes darkened, and she composed a text message and sent it.

Two minutes later, her phone rang. A cold smile tugged at her lips. She pressed the answer button, nonchalantly greeted, “Hello!”

“Cheng Jia, you crazy woman, if you dare to threaten me again, I will tell Mo Xiuchen exactly how cheap and shameless you are.”

On the other end, Jiang Liu’s angry voice was brimming with fury.

Cheng Jia was unfazed and laughed proudly, “I told you, I don’t care. By that time, neither you nor Shen Yuting will be happy.”
