The Older Man Is Addicted To Pampering His Wife Novel - Chapter 35

“Are you too tired from work today?” Qin Ran noticed the change in Mo Chi’s attitude and asked in puzzlement.

Mo Chi only felt that the lass in front of him was a block of wood that didn’t understand. She always connected all his emotional changes to work.

“No.” Mo Chi continued to be cold. However, he didn’t expect that Qin Ran would only nod her head and walk past Mo Chi as if she didn’t care at all. “Don’t you care why I’m like this?” His face was full of question marks this time.

“But I can’t help you with your work, right?”

“It has nothing to do with work.”

When Mo Chi said this, Qin Ran was even more stunned. If it wasn’t because of his work that he was in a bad mood, could it be because of her? Qin Ran seriously reflected on her actions over the past few days and felt that she had not offended Mo Chi in any way.

“Then what is it?” Qin Ran asked carefully. Although they were not a real couple, they still had to spend a few more months together. If there were any conflicts, their days would be awkward.

“It has something to do with you!” As Mo Chi spoke, he pulled Qin Ran upstairs. No matter what, he wanted to be clear with Qin Ran today.

It really had something to do with her. As Qin Ran walked, she felt conflicted. What exactly was going on? Could it be because she wanted to return the gifts?

The two of them walked one after another through the flowers in the front yard and arrived at the villa’s main hall. They did not stay on the first floor for a moment before they went up the stairs to the second floor and passed through the small living room to enter the master bedroom.

It was only at this moment that Mo Chi let go of Qin Ran’s hand. When he turned around and saw her standing behind him like a little kid who had made a mistake, his anger seemed to have lessened.

“Ranran, you’re so smart. You must know something called ‘the couple is one’, right?”

“I know.” Qin Ran nodded obediently, but she didn’t understand why Mo Chi suddenly brought this up.

“We’re husband and wife. It’s only right that I buy things for you. You can tell me whatever troubles you have. If you really don’t want to talk about it, it’s fine. But at least, you don’t have to pretend to be happy in front of me.”

From time to time, Mo Chi would call Uncle Zhang to ask about Qin Ran’s whereabouts and condition. Thus, even though he knew that she had gone to the Fu Residence today and was in a very low mood, when he got out of the car and saw the forced smile on her face, his heart was filled with complicated feelings. He really hoped that the lass would be able to get rid of her complicated protective aura and do whatever she wanted in front of him.

“I’m not pretending to be happy.” Qin Ran didn’t want her emotions to affect others.

“I know that you met someone you didn’t want to meet today and dealt with things you didn’t want to deal with, so you’re not in a good mood. You can totally show it in front of me. I’m your husband, the person closest to you in the future.”

In the past, he was completely uninterested in women. Never would he have thought that these words would come out of his mouth. The lass in front of him was not old, but she seemed to have a kind of magic. The more her heart did not approach him, the more he wanted to hold on to it.

“But aren’t we faking our marriage? I know you’re a good person, and you’re willing to put yourself in my shoes. You’re also very concerned about your child, and that’s already very good. I’m very content, and I don’t want to cause you any more trouble.”

Her eyes were sincere and her tone was gentle. But Mo Chi was still furious.

“What do you mean by fake marriage? Fake couple? Ranran, ever since the day we registered our marriage, I, Mo Chi, have never wanted to get a divorce.” Mo Chi spoke with certainty and a firm tone. Actually, he had said these words many times before. It was just that Qin Ran had always thought that he was being polite.

Qin Ran was stunned on the spot. They got into this fake marriage for the sake of his child. This kind of knowledge had always been engraved in her subconscious mind. Thinking back to Mo Chi’s polite and beautiful words, she finally understood that he had already made up his mind to spend the rest of his life with her from the very beginning.

“Ranran, I understand that you had a tough life in the past. In order to protect yourself, being cute and obedient seems to have become your weapon. But from now on, at least in front of me and in the Mo Residence, you don’t have to do this.” Mo Chi spoke emotionally as he placed his hands on Qin Ran’s shoulders with a firm gaze.

Being cute was never Qin Ran’s weapon. The reason why she behaved appropriately towards Mo Chi was because of her professional habits over the years. She had always had very low expectations of outsiders. As long as they didn’t intentionally harm her, she would consider them a good person.

She was at a loss as to what to do when faced with such an honest and sincere heart. “I think I understand what you’re saying. But I might need time to understand.”
