Translator: 549690339
“Last night, while I was having dinner with Xiaoxiao at the restaurant, someone drugged me and I don’t know for how long I passed out. When I woke up, I was in a car and they were taking me to the mountains. When we got out of the car, I used the self-defense technique you taught me. I kicked one of them and ran as soon as I jumped out of the car.”
Wen Ran maintained a calm tone, not revealing a hint of fear or terror. It’s as if sne was telling someone else’s story, Dut ror wen Jin, It was a snarp Kmre stabbing directly at his heart.
“The evening was so dark and those men chased after me. I didn’t realize I was running towards the cliff’s edge until it was too late. I had no other choice so I jumped.”
Upon seeing the sudden pallor of Wen Jin, Wen Ran quickly explained, “The hill wasn’t too high, even if I jumped, I wouldn’t necessarily die. Besides, I was lucky enough to be saved by a tree. MO Xiuchen and the others arrived later and pulled me up from the tree. Brother, you don’t need to worry, apart from a scar on my face and some slight injuries to my arm, I’m perfectly fine.”
“A woman’s face is the most crucial thing. That scar of yours won’t heal in a day or two.”
Wen Jin knew that Wen Ran was pretending to be carefree and didn’t want him to worry about her. He suppressed his heartache and hid it deep in his heart, maintaining a cordial and gentle look on his face.
“Older Brother Gu offered me some exceptional ointment. He said it won’t leave a scar. I’ll get it from him later.”
“Gu Kai?”
Wen Jin’s gaze deepened a bit. Ever since he’d woken up, Gu Kai had been very caring towards him. Gu Kai had even offered to use their medicines.
Wen Ran smiled and nodded, “Yes, he said calling him Doctor Gu is too formal. He and MO Xiuchen are the same age, so calling him by his name feels kind of weird, so I just call him Older Brother Gu. Yes, he also mentioned that if his sister were here, she would be about my age.”
“Gu Kai does have a younger sister. If she were around, she would be about your age.”
Wen Jin pondered before speaking. The Gu Family is a century-old medical family, a prominent clan in G City, but as he remembered, Gu Kai’s sister had gone missing when she was very young…
“Brother, you know about this too?”
Wen Ran was surprised. They didn’t have contact with Gu Kai or MO Xiuchen before, so she had no knowledge of their affairs.
On the other hand, Wen Jin was different. He was a few years older than her and had worked in the company since he graduated from university, so naturally, he would know many more things.
“Yes, but it’s their family matter, so it’s not right for me to disclose too much.”
Wen Jin’s facial expression remained cordial. He didn’t know much about Gu Kai’s sister. They were not originally from G City and had moved from F City sixteen years ago.
All he knew was that Gu Kai had a little sister who had disappeared when she was young. It seemed the Gu Family had been looking for her over the years.
His gaze fell on Wen Ran’s lips, which had been bitten. He then glanced at her chin. There was no hint of any flaws on the fine, peachy skin. He moved the topic away and said,
“From yesterday’s incident, I suspect Zhou Mingfu may have had a hand in it. A few days ago, I started to collect evidence against him anew. He must be desperate and resort to hurting you, so he has the biggest suspicion.”
Regarding this matter, Wen Ran agreed and provided her thoughts, “I also suspect this had to do with Zhou Mingfu. Normally, even if he was injured, he wouldn’t take leave willingly. However, he did just that this time, and even suggested that Zhou Lin should go to F City with me.”
A trace of coldness flitted through Wen Jin’s eyes, and his tone grew grim, “He was counting on you not taking Zhou Lin with you. I’ve been careless this time leading you to get hurt.”
“Brother, it’s not your fault. If Zhou Mingfu is indeed the culprit, he must have planned meticulously for this, so it wasn’t something prepared in a few days.”
“Regardless of how meticlous his planning or how seamless his execution seemed, there will always be a weak point. I’ve already instructed people to keep an eye on his movements.” “How do they go about tracking him?”
Wen Ran looked at Wen Jin. surDrised.
Wen Jin hinted a smile at the corner of his mouth. It looked gentle and harmless, however, Wen Ran could sense the cold aura around him. She understood her brother well – the gentler his exterior, the greater the anger he harbored within. He would not let Zhou Mingfu off the hook.
“Ranran, I’ll tell you about it when there is some information. Zhou Mingfu won’t make a move for a while. Relax and rest these few days. Leave the factory matters to me.”
There were certain things that Wen Jin doesn’t want Wen Ran to learn about. He wanted her to stay that innocent, cheerful girl forever, and not be polluted by those dirty matters.
“Alright, I will listen to brother.”
Wen Ran knew that no matter how much she asked, she wouldn’t get any more information out of him. So, she stopped questioning him and laughingly agreed.
Wen Jin lovingly ruffled her hair, and asked, “Why did MO Xiuchen not accompany you to the hospital?”
Mentioning MO Xiuchen, a certain feeling stirred within Wen Ran. She softly replied, “He received a call about an emergency just after we left the airport. He left immediately, but it’s alright, Xiaoxiao was with me.”
Wen Jin paid attention to the subtle changes of expression on her face. He felt a sinking feeling in his heart and asked her, “Ranran, have you developed feelings for MO Xiuchen
A trace of confusion flashed in Wen Ran’s eyes. Her heart raced, becoming rather irregular as the scenes of their interaction flooded her mind. She looked towards Wen Jin and replied, “Brother, I don’t know.”
Wen Jin lowered his eyes, his thick lashes shielding the emotions flashing behind them. After a while, he told her calmly, “Earlier, when you were with MO Zixuan, I told you that he wasn’t right for you. You didn’t believe me back then. But later, he betrayed you when you were most vulnerable. Although MO Xiuchen helped the Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory deal with difficulties, he asked for your happiness in exchange. Ranran, I don’t want you to be hurt anymore.”
Wen Ran didn’t know that MO Zixuan had visited the hospital after she left for her business trip.
He had spoken to Wen Jin, explaining why he ended up with Zhou Lin and why MO Xiuchen wanted to marry Wen Ran…
Wen Jin didn’t completely believe everything, but he didn’t dismiss it entirely either. MO Zixuan had informed him of his grudge with MO Xiuchen.
Wen Jin had thought about this issue for these past few days. If half of what MO Zixuan said was true, then Ranran would get hurt.
Last night, she consummated her marriage with MO Xiuchen. She had given her body to him; however, he didn’t want her to give her heart to him so quickly.
Wen Ran pursed her lips, seeing Wen Jin’s expression was not very good. She reached out to hold his hand and reassured him, “Brother, don’t worry. I won’t get hurt. MO Xiuchen is different from MO Zixuan.”
Wen Jin felt as if his heart was being squeezed by an invisible hand, did Wen Ran mean that MO Xiuchen wouldn’t hurt her? Did she trust MO Xiuchen this much?
