Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 662: 661 beauty product has issues

That night, as usual, Wen Ran took a bath then lay in bed sending messages to Mo Xiuchen.

Having carefully composed her messages and sent them out, her emotions were indescribable: chaotic, complicated. It had been eight days since Mo Xiuchen left for D Country. Though she received daily updates about him, her longing for him was unwavering.

Having sent her messages, she returned to savor those messages sent to her by Mo Xiuchen the previous nights. Lost in thought, her phone’s ringtone suddenly blared out.

Seeing the caller ID, Wen Ran pursed her lips, hit accept, and spoke in a calm voice, “Hello, brother?”

The call was from Wen Jin. As her words fell, Wen Jin’s voice came through the phone, low and warm, “Ranran, the results are out.”

Wen Ran’s eyes lit up with joy, “How did it go? Is everything normal?”

“Two products out of the bunch are not so normal; the rest are fine.”

Wen Jin’s voice carried a contradictory mix of excitement and anger. He was excited because if these problematic products were dug into, they might be able to bring Fu Jingyi to justice.

His anger stemmed from the realization that Fu Jingyi was a reckless monster. He had carried out experiments on innocent lives to achieve his goals.

Wen Ran’s body, leaning against the head of the bed, abruptly sat upright. A look of shock emerged on her beautiful face, “What’s the problem, bro?”

“According to Professor Li, those two products contain substances harmful to the human body. They can indeed enhance beauty, but…”

Listened to Wen Jin, Wen Ran felt a chill crawl up her spine. She suddenly remembered the call she received from Qin Mu the day before yesterday. The news he shared was clear now, after Wen Jin’s explanation.

Two days ago, Qin Mu had informed her about a VVIP client at the beauty salon who had experienced rapid aging due to a three-month gap in her beauty regimen. Fast forward four months from their last conversation, and the lady now looks sixty years old, a drastic change from her previous thirty-something look.

On hearing this, Wen Ran instinctively touched her own face. A minute later, she jumped out of bed to inspect herself in the mirror for over ten minutes before calm returned.

The frequency of her mirror checks in the last two days had surpassed that of the entire previous month.

Even though she did not usually apply too many products, that didn’t mean she had no desire for beauty. She just didn’t like heavy makeup, opting for simple skincare routines instead.

Earlier in A City, she and Xiaoxiao had visited that beauty salon three times, while Mo Xiuchen and Qin Mu only once. She worried that she might have used those harmful products too.

For this reason, she was particularly interested in the products she had previously handed over to Professor Li for testing. On hearing her concern, Wen Jin anxiously asked Professor Li to put other experiments on hold and test all the products Wen Ran had brought back first.

“Ranran, you and Xiaoxiao only used the products a few times. You should be fine. But this is a significant issue, we must prevent Liao Dongxing, Fu Jingyi, and the likes from harming more people,” he added.

The beauty salon’s products were popular for their great effect despite their high prices. No one would have guessed they were deadly harmful.

“Bro, but Qin Mu said the lady’s rapid aging couldn’t be proven to be an effect of those beauty products from her medical tests.”

“Maybe we can bring her to G City.”

Grasping his intention from his words, she quickly responded, “I will call Qin Mu right now and let him know the product test results.”

“Good!”

Having instructed Wen Ran one more time, Wen Jin hung up to discuss more matters with Professor Li.

Before making a call to Qin Mu, Wen Ran decided to read Mo Xiuchen’s reply first, “Ranran, don’t worry. Even if those beauty products are problematic, you only used them three times, you won’t be affected. Moreover, there might be other reasons for that lady’s rapid aging.”

Mo Xiuchen’s response was similar to what Wen Jin just said.

She pressed her lips together, quickly typing, “Mo Xiuchen, the product test results are out, their beauty products indeed have problems. I will contact Qin Mu in a while and ask him to bring that lady to G City.”

This time, just ten seconds after her message was sent, her phone rang.

The moment Wen Ran noticed the name blinking on the screen, her heart skipped a beat. Unable to describe the wave of emotions that washed over her, her fingers quickly hit accept, as if worried a delay of seconds would stop the ringing.

“Hello!”

As Wen Ran spoke, she could hear a detectable tremble in her voice.

“Ranran, you just mentioned the product test results are out. What’s wrong with them? Is that Ms. Chen whom Ah Mu mentioned rapidly aging because of those beauty products?”

On the other end of the line, Mo Xiuchen answered in his usual deep, magnetic tone, as if he was not across the Pacific Ocean, but whispering concernedly in her ear.

Wen Ran’s tumultuous emotions surged up like a tide, moistening her eyes almost instantly.

“Yes, that woman aged quickly because she hadn’t visited the beauty salon for four months…”

Wen Ran recapped the information Wen Jin had given her earlier to explain to Mo Xiuchen.

After listening to her, Mo Xiuchen fell silent for a moment, then calmly asked, “Ranran, are you scared?”

“I was a little bit at first, but not anymore.”

The two problematic beauty products hadn’t been used by her or Xiaoxiao. Therefore, she had nothing to fear now.

As her voice faded, Mo Xiuchen chuckled over the phone. Wen Ran’s brows furrowed, “What are you laughing at?”

“Nothing, I was just thinking that if I were in G City, you wouldn’t be scared at all. Ranran, have you been having nightmares while I am away?”

“No, I’ve been sleeping just fine.”

Wen Ran’s voice exuded a hint of stubbornness and coyness. She pressed her lips together, then asked, “When are you coming back? Now that we’ve identified the problems with the products, can we negotiate with Liao Dongxing to reveal Fu Jingyi’s whereabouts?”

“Ranran, don’t rush. Liao Dongxing and Qin Sen’s testimonies alone aren’t enough. Let’s wait a little longer. At most two more days, I will have all the evidence we need to guarantee success.”

Wen Ran blinked. She was aware that Mo Xiuchen was in D Country not just to track down Fu Jingyi’s whereabouts but also for medical treatment. However, did he manage to get anything else accomplished aside from his treatment?

After thinking for a while, she softly agreed, “Okay. According to my brother, since Professor Li is the one handling the tests, it’s best to engage the relevant authorities for an official product test report.”
