Chapter 390: 389 came specially to rescue you

While the exciting annual meeting was a joy for many, it kept Wen Ran occupied to the brink of exhaustion, leaving her with no time to relax from dawn till dusk.

Even lunchtime was rushed.

In the evening, she had to dress up and stand beside Mo Xiuchen, attracting all sorts of admiring and scrutinizing glances. In previous annual meetings, she only had to eat and play. Today, she was longing to find a hole to hide in.

Mo Xiuchen would occasionally ask, “Ranran, are you tired?”

“Ranran, are you hungry?”

Watching him masterfully handle all sorts of people, she felt a sense of pride, while constantly reminding herself to hang in there just a bit longer and stay by his side till the very end.

“Ranran, if you’re tired, you can go upstairs to the rest area for a while.”

Mo Xiuchen took advantage of a company’s senior official turning to talk to others to whisper to Wen Ran. He knew she must be exhausted from being busy all day.

“That’s okay, I can handle it.”

Wen Ran gave him a gentle smile. Just as she finished her sentence, someone came over to greet them, “President Mo, congratulations…”.

After clinking glasses with the person and exchanging polite words, Mo Xiuchen heard the man say smugly, “I knew I made the right choice when I recommended Cheng Jia to go overseas for training. Cheng Jia managed to secure a major client for the group this time, making a significant contribution to our European market expansion. You should reward her generously when they return.”

This man was one of the directors who had recommended Cheng Jia’s overseas assignment. His real joy, though, was not because Cheng Jia had made money for the company, but because half of the three months had already passed. In another month or so, Cheng Jia would be back and he could taste her essence again, a flavor he found unforgettable.

“Ranran.”

Someone was calling from behind. Wen Ran turned her head and saw Bai Xiaoxiao, pushed by Shen Yuting, with Gu Kai accompanying them.

She said a quick word to Mo Xiuchen, then turned to greet Bai Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, Sister Ting, Brother Gu, why are you here?”

There were many guests invited to MS Group’s annual meeting. Initially, Wen Ran had wanted to invite Bai Xiaoxiao, but she knew that she would be too busy to take care of her and did not want her to feel neglected, and so she did not invite her.

“I brought Miss Bai here since she was bored of staying in the room all by herself. Considering that President Bai and Mrs. Bai are here, I decided to bring her along,” remarked Shen Yuting with a laugh.

Ever since the incident last time, Shen Yuting had not seen Mo Xiuchen. She had been too embarrassed by the situation and there weren’t any opportunities to meet. So, today, when she was free and it was their company’s annual meeting, she invited Gu Kai and Bai Xiaoxiao to join her.

“What do you want to drink? We’ll head over there.”

Wen Ran stepped forward, took control of Bai Xiaoxiao’s wheelchair and started to push it themselves. Gu Kai was greeted by some people, so he turned to talk to them. Shen Yuting glanced at Mo Xiuchen and followed Wen Ran to the food area.

“I’ve been hungry for a while.”

Wen Ran picked up some pastries that Bai Xiaoxiao liked and started eating with her. She had been too embarrassed to eat anything when she was standing next to Mo Xiuchen earlier.

“Being the president’s wife isn’t easy, is it? I came specifically to rescue you.”

Bai Xiaoxiao said jokingly. When Shen Yuting had asked her if she wanted to go, she had initially wanted to decline, feeling that Shen Yuting only wanted to meet Mo Xiuchen. As Wen Ran’s friend, she should not be facilitating such an opportunity.

However, when Shen Yuting mentioned that Wen Ran had been very busy these past few days, acting as the president’s wife likely tiring her as much as a bride on her wedding day, she might not have even had a chance to eat anything by now, Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated.

She knew very well what kind of woman Wen Ran was. While she was capable of gracefully socializing with a smile on her face in Mo Xiuchen’s company, it was not in her nature to do so.

In former social gatherings, the two of them had always enjoyed a good feast at a corner before they started having fun.

Under Shen Yuting’s ‘persuasion’, she finally agreed to come.

Wen Ran chuckled happily, “Yes, you are a heaven-sent angel. Come, eat some more.”

Wen Ran glanced through the hall. Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen were standing together, talking about something. Just as she looked over, Mo Xiuchen seemingly sensed her gaze and his profound eyes met hers. His alluring lips lifted into a gentle, heartwarming smile, causing her heartbeat to skip a beat.

To one side, Shen Yuting followed her gaze and noticed Mo Xiuchen affectionately watching Wen Ran. A pang of pain struck her heart, and her hand gripping her cup tightened instantly.

“Ranran, you’re drooling!”

Bai Xiaoxiao teased with a smile. Wen Ran turned her gaze back and glared at her, “Do you want me to take you to Uncle Bai and Aunt Qiao?”

“No way! I don’t want to find them! I’m free and relaxed when they’re not keeping an eye on me.”

Bai Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head and waved her hands. She knew that if her mother showed up, she wouldn’t be able to eat and drink so freely.

Shen Yuting’s phone rang, so she said apologetically, ” Ranran, I’m going to take a call.”

“Go ahead, Sister Ting!”

Wen Ran smiled and took her cup to place it aside. Shen Yuting answered the call and quickly stepped out towards the entrance.

“Ranran, you’re not upset that I brought Shen Yuting, are you?”

Bai Xiaoxiao asked uneasily as she watched Shen Yuting’s retreating figure.

Wen Ran chuckled, “Why would I be upset with you? Even if she’s here to steal a glance at Xiuchen, she can’t do anything about it. Even if she doesn’t look, there are plenty of other women who do. Don’t you know how many women I heard talking about him tonight, and how many admiring glances were directed at him?”

As long as they didn’t try to steal her husband, she couldn’t care less about these women’s admiration for Xiuchen. She certainly couldn’t control who they liked.

Xiuchen did look very handsome tonight. Although there were many young talents and business elites in attendance, Xiuchen was still the most charismatic, handsome, sexy man who caught women’s attention.

“Ah, these banquets are the most boring. There are so many hypocritical people spouting hypocrisy,” said Bai Xiaoxiao. She looked at the people conversing and expressed her feelings in a low voice.

Wen Ran tittered, feeling the same way. “Absolutely, I feel the same. A bunch of hypocrites spouting hypocrisy. It’s much nicer here where we can enjoy food and drinks.”

“Even without MO Xiuchen by your side, you would still think that?”

Bai Xiaoxiao asked teasingly. The moment Wen Ran was separated from Mo Xiuchen, the two of them started to gaze at each other across the crowd, making it hard for people to not be envious.

Wen Ran’s brows furrowed in mock contemplation. After a while, she breathed out softly, “Compared to this food, I still prefer to be with Xiuchen
