Chapter 103: Did Ranran get hurt?
Translator: 549690339
“Xiuchen, we’re pulling you up!” Luo Haofeng shouted from the top of the cliff. MO Xiuchen responded with an “Okay,” and the grip around Wen Ran’s waist tightened a little. With the help of those on top, they slowly started to ascend.
“Hot, uncomfortable!”
Before she saw MO Xiuchen, Wen Ran was in pain but there was still a trace of rationality left.
“Be good, wait a little more.”
MO Xiuchen was indignant at the person who had hurt her and pained by her current discomfort. But everything paled in comparison to the shock of her choosing to jump off a cliff rather than endure humiliation.
A few months ago, when he first met her at a banquet, she was a warm and kind-hearted girl who was completely unaware of the maliciousness in people’s hearts. After the car accident where she lost her relative, she sacrificed her happiness for the sake of the company and her comatose brother, promising to become a qualified wife.
During their time together, he gradually discovered her multifaceted nature. She could be the pampered daughter from a wealthy family who never touched water, yet secretly learned cooking to give him a birthday present. Despite being a cherished baby in her family, she was so strong and independent that it made people worry.
Tonight, she would rather die than be humiliated. The cut on her left cheek was a few centimeters deep, the wounds embroidered with beads of blood felt like a sharp dagger piercing his heart.
Unknowingly, Wen Ran had occupied MO Xiuchen’s heart and his every emotion was tied to her. Only when they were pulled up top and made it to safety was he able to relax.
Luo Haofeng and the others witnessed Wen Ran’s abnormal state, and they all understood what was going on. Luo Haofeng untied the rope bound on
Xiuchen’s body and softly said, “Xiuchen, go back to the car first, let’s clean Wen Ran’s wounds to avoid infection.”
“Okay!”
MO Xiuchen nodded. Through his deep-set eyes, a cold glint flashed, instantly replaced by profound heartache. He held Wen Ran without letting go. Aware of her discomfort, he kissed her forehead gently and whispered, “Ranran, let’s go back to the car.”
“Mmm…”
Wen Ran whimpered in his arms, seemingly too uncomfortable to hear his words.
Upon returning to the car, Uncle Ming was still waiting. Seeing MO Xiuchen holding Wen Ran, his eyes flashed with relief and he said genially, “Young Master MO, I’ll take these guys and leave first. Let Young Master Luo drive that car, and you two can follow.”
His words were vague, but everyone understood that he was giving MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran a chance to be alone. Wen Ran had been holding on for too long and she might not be able to hold on until they reached the city.
MO Xiuchen gratefully looked at Uncle Ming, “Uncle Ming, I won’t say thank you again. Let’s follow your plan.”
A moment later, two cars left the mountain top one after the other.
MO Xiuchen held Wen Ran and walked towards the car. With one hand free, he opened the rear door and placed her in the car.
Outside the car, the hazy moonlight covered the mountaintop like a soft shawl. Occasionally a few birds would fly by, making the quiet surroundings seem serene.
Inside the car was a cozy atmosphere.
At the hotel, Bai Xiaoxiao was anxiously pacing back and forth. Since she had returned, she could not sit still, while Li Qian was more composed, praying silently for Wen Ran’s safety.
It felt like a century had passed before her phone finally rang, breaking the intense waiting silence. Upon seeing the caller ID, Bai Xiaoxiao immediately answered and anxiously asked, “Luo Haofeng, did you find Ranran?”
Li Qian, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up at the sound of Xiaoxiao’s phone ringing.
She walked fast towards her, her eyes fixed on her phone as if wanting to get the information directly from the phone.
“We found her, Wen Ran is safe and with Xiuchen.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes welled up with tears of relief, her heart
instantly overwhelmed with joy, “Is Ranran really okay? Where is she now? I want to speak to her.”
Li Qian, who was listening to the conversation, was relieved by Luo Haofeng’s words. Even though she did not cry like Xiaoxiao, her eyes were moist, and she thought silently: “It is so good that Ranran is safe!”
“I am not in the same car as them. Xiuchen is with her. They won’t be back tonight, don’t wait up for them, have a rest instead.”
From the other end of the phone, Luo Haofeng couldn’t see Xiaoxiao’s tears, but sharp enough to notice something was wrong from the sound of her voice. He decided not to mention that Wen Ran had been drugged, nor the possibility of her and Xiuchen being passionately entangled at the mountaintop.
“Not coming back tonight? Why? Did Ranran get injured? Luo Haofeng, you said she was okay, you wouldn’t have lied, would you?”
Xiaoxiao suspiciously questioned, her brows furrowed.
At the other end of the line, Luo Haofeng was caught off guard by her interrogation. Just as he was hesitating how to explain, Bai Xiaoxiao angrily accused him: “Luo Haofeng, you’re lying to us, aren’t you? You didn’t find Ranran, you liar….”
