Chapter 109: 108 Ranran, your face
Translator: 549690339
“Bai Xiaoxiao followed Wen Ran and MO Xiuchen back to G City. After alighting from the plane, MO Xiuchen received a phone call. His expression slightly sinking, he quickly caught up with Wen Ran and said: “I have some urgent matters to deal with right now, and can’t accompany you to the hospital. Let
Miss Bai accompany you first, and I’ll come to pick you up at the hospital later.”
“You go ahead with your tasks, no need to bother about me.”
Seeing his somewhat stern expression, Wen Ran hesitated before saying: “You can leave in the car first, Xiaoxiao and I will take a taxi to the hospital.”
To the side, Bai Xiaoxiao’s brow furrowed slightly, feeling somewhat displeased that MO Xiuchen was not accompanying Ranran to the hospital. They had only consummated their marriage the night before, and he left numerous love bites on her body…
MO Xiuchen shook his head, his icy aura largely concealed, “That’s not necessary, let Little Liu take you to the hospital. Someone will come to pick me up later.”
“Young Miss, please get in the car!” Little Liu understood immediately after MO Xiuchen finished speaking.
Wen Ran nodded, and she, along with Bai Xiaoxiao, got into the car.
MO Xiuchen stood outside the car, watching as Little Liu drove off. He only turned around to walk in the opposite direction after the car was lost to sight.
Half an hour later, Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao arrived at the hospital. As they were waiting for the elevator to go upstairs, they ran into Gu Kai.
‘Ranran, how’s your injury? Is it alright?’
Gu Kai called out to her, walking towards Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao. His gaze swept over her arm and finally landed on a scar on her left cheek; the healed scar, standing out starkly on her fair and delicate face.
Wen Ran smiled lightly, answering in an unconcerned tone: “I’m fine, Older
Brother Gu, don’t worry.”
Gu Kai reached out to grab her arm, “Let me have a look at the wound.”
Wen Ran was slightly surprised, but she didn’t flinch back.
After examining her wound, Gu Kai said warmly, “Go and see your brother first. Later, let me change your dressing; I have a very good ointment that won’t leave any scars on your arm or face.”
“Elder Brother Gu, you don’t have to bother. It’s just a small matter like changing the dressing. How could you do it personally?”
Wen Ran politely declined. She understood that because of his relationship with MO Xiuchen, Gu Kai had always been kind to her.
Gu Kai let go of her, smiled and teased her, “It’s rare for me to be of help. Since you addressed me as Elder Brother Gu, then forget about formalities. Your brother must be eagerly waiting for you. The elevator is here, let’s go up.”
If she continued to refuse after he had spoken in such a manner, she would appear difficult.
She responded with a mischievous smile, “Alright then, I will go and see my brother first, and come find you later.”
“Yes, go inside!”
Gu Kai held the elevator button, watching as Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao entered the elevator. As the elevator doors gently closed, and the numeric pad changed, he pressed his lips together and knitted his eyebrows, a certain emotion scattering away from the depth of his eyes.
He felt he was affected by MO Xiuchen. Every time he faced Wen Ran, he felt a sense of familiarity.Mo Xiuchen could identify Wen Ran as his savior, but he couldn’t because his sister had a mole on her chin, which Wen Ran didn’t have.
As Wen Ran pushed open the door to the ward, she saw Wen Jin, her brother, lying on the ground, looking pale and in pain, yet he was struggling to stand on his own.
Her face changed and she called out in distress, ‘Brother’, before running over to help him up. “Brother, what happened to you?”
Upon hearing the voice, Wen Jin paused and looked up at her.
When their gazes met, initial delight was reflected in his soft eyes. However, it quickly faded and was replaced by deep concern about the scar on her face. “Ranran, what happened to your face?”
Wen Ran shook her head, supporting his arm, and said softly: “Brother, my face is fine. First, you need to stand up. Your legs won’t heal in just a day or two. You can’t torture yourself like this.”
Wen Jin didn’t appear to hear her words; instead, he gazed affectionately at her face. Raising his hand, he gently stroked her facial scar, feeling a sense of guilt that increased in intensity with each touch.
Since she was a child, he always held her as his precious jewel, not allowing anyone to harm her. During the car accident, in a life-or-death situation, he instinctively protected her with his body.
Now, she was injured, and nearly was…
Every time he thought of what happened the previous night, he felt a deep sense of regret, wishing he could recover instantly, only by recovering soon can he protect Ranran better.
The eyes of Wen Jin, filled with guilt, moved from the scar on her cheek to her neck. Even though she was wearing a high-collared dress, it still couldn’t hide those faint pink love bites on her neck.
His hand trembled slightly as it caressed her face, a feeling akin to his heart being lightly slashed by a knive sweeping through him. Even though she wasn’t bullied by those men last night, she had still consummated her marriage with MO Xiuchen.
It seemed his previous guess was right. MO Xiuchen must have hidden from everyone; his ‘illness’ didn’t exist at all.
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the brother-sister duo of Wen Jin and Wen Ran, one squatted, and the other sitting on the floor. She hinted the special nursing assistant, and the two of them quietly left the ward.
Wen Ran’s eyes flickered, and her face turned a slight shade of red. Her skin was delicate, and MO Xiuchen had left many marks on her. She couldn’t hide the love bites on her neck at all.
“Brother, can you stand up first?”
Seeing the pain in his eyes, Wen Ran’s heart tightened. She pursed her lips, changing the subject.
“Alright!”
Wen Jin took a deep breath, took back his hand that had been caressing her face, and with her help, he stood up from the ground. He spoke softly, “Help me get to the sofa. I don’t want to stay in bed all day or sit in a wheelchair like a useless person.”
“Brother, you are not useless. I won’t allow you to talk about yourself like that.”
Wen Ran’s eyes turned red. It was indescribable how much it hurt her to see her brother in his current state.
“Alright, I won’t say it again.”
The last thing Wen Jin would like to see is Wen Ran being upset. On seeing her red eyes, he couldn’t help but tighten his heart and immediately changed his words.
“That sounds better.”
A smile returned to Wen Ran’s face, it was not marred by the scar on her left cheek, but instead stirred a sense of pity in others.
After Wen Ran assisted Wen Jin onto the sofa, she poured a glass of water for him before sitting down next to him. His large hand grabbed her wrist, tightly fixating his gaze on the injury on her arm.
“Ranran, can you tell me about what happened last night?”
Wen Ran offered a bright and beautiful smile. Despite her harrowing experience the night before, filled with fear, despair, and even a sense of impending death, she kept her emotions in check as she faced her brother, responding in a relaxed manner:
“Alright, I’ll tell you everything in detail.”
Wen Jin responded with a faint smile, his gaze full of doting and concern for her..
