When Gu Kai arrived, Wen Ran had just helped Wen Jin to the bed.
He brought scar removal ointment and all the necessarv suDDlies to change her dressing and came without waiting for Wen Ran to search for him.
Bai Xiaoxiao followed him in and announced that her father had asked her to return to the company for a while. After greeting them, she left.
“Ranran, I did not interrupt your brother-sister chat, did I?”
Gu Kai, in his white coat, was graceful and noble, his smile as gentle as jade, which had charmed countless nurses and patients at the hospital.
Wen Ran smiled and shook her head, saying it was fine.
Gu Kai continued to ask about Wen Jin’s condition that day. After replacing Wen Ran’s bandages, he gently reminded her:
“Don’t let your wounds get wet in the next couple of days. After a few days, change the dressing again. This ointment, once applied to your face and arm, will leave no scars.”
Wen Ran put away the ointment and smiled, saying, “Elder Brother Gu, thank you.”
Mirthfully, Gu Kai echoed, “What are you thanking me for? If you’re willing to consider me as your older brother, even if I can’t treat you as well as your biological brother, I would never refuse to lend a helping hand.” “Thank you, Doctor Gu, for being so kind to Ranran.”
From his bed, Wen Jin shifted his focus from Wen Ran to Gu Kai.
Gu Kai shrugged his shoulders, curbed his laughter, and began on a sentimental note, “Many years ago, when MO Xiuchen was kidnapped, a little girl saved him. After that, he told me about this incident, and I was convinced that the little girl who saved him was my long-lost sister.”
Shocked, Wen Ran asked incredulously, “Older Brother Gu, are you saying that
Cheng Jia is your long-lost sister?”
Gu Kai gave a bitter smile. Things would be better if Cheng Jia really were his sister. But after she appeared, he quietly sent her hair sample for a DNA test and the result was disappointing.
“Not only is she not my sister, even MO Xiuchen does not believe that she is the girl who saved him years ago.”
Listening to his words, Wen Jin’s eyes changed slightly. He recalled what MO Xiuchen had told him. He had always believed that Ranran was the little girl who had saved him, but MO Zixuan said….
Now, Gu Kai said that he had always believed that the little girl who saved MO Xiuchen was his long-lost sister.
“Older Brother Gu, does your sister also have a mole on her chin like Cheng Jia?”
Looking at the sadness in Gu Kai’s eyes, Wen Ran unconsciously furrowed her brows, inwardly feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Gu Kai nodded. He usually wouldn’t talk about these things to others, but in front of Wen Ran, he felt a sense of intimacy, and he naturally opened up.
Wen Jin coughed gently into his hand. Wen Ran immediately withdrew her gaze from Gu Kai, picked up the water glass from the table and handed it to Wen Jin, urging him caringly, “Brother, come, have some water.”
“Okay!”
Wen Jin lifted the water glass she handed him to his lips and took a sip, smiling affectionately.
The sound of footsteps was heard outside the sickroom. Then, the door to the sickroom was pushed open. MO Xiuchen’s tall and erect figure appeared at the door, ignoring Gu Kai and Wen Jin in the room. His profound gaze went straight to Wen Ran.
As their gazes met, a flash of emotion quickly swept through the depths of his eyes. Then, a warm smile surfaced on his face. As he walked into the sickroom, his gaze fell on her arm. “Have you changed the dressing?”
“Mm, Elder Brother Gu changed it for me.”
Wen Ran said as she stood up. MO Xiuchen’s gaze shifted to Gu Kai. The latter chuckled and casually said with a light air, “The medication I used will help Ranran recover faster from her injury. Don’t let her arm come in contact with water for the next couple of days.”
MO Xiuchen nodded and walked over to her. Sensing the hostility in Wen Jin’s eyes from his hospital bed, he turned his head towards him, meeting his sharp gaze head-on.
“Ranran, I feel like eating bananas. Go downstairs and buy some for me.”
After a one-second standoff with MO Xiuchen, Wen Jin moved his gaze away and told Wen Ran so.
“I was planning to buy some items too. Ranran, I’ll accompany you.”
Gu Kai, standing up, volunteered. He knew that Wen Jin was trying to divert Wen Ran as he wanted to talk to MO Xiuchen.
Wen Ran was not naive. She knew that her brother was purposely trying to get rid of her. A flicker of hesitation flashed through her eyes. She was worried that there would be an altercation between him and MO Xiuchen.
“Go ahead and let Ah Kai accompany you.”
MO Xiuchen assured Wen Ran with a comforting smile, indicating that he wouldn’t harm her brother.
“Alright, you guys chat. I’ll be back soon.”
Wen Ran left the sickroom along with Gu Kai after saying this.
MO Xiuchen closed the door and turned around. He walked back to the bed, pulled over a chair and sat down, casually crossing his legs. His gaze indifferently met Wen Jin’s. He told Wen Jin calmly, “I know that MO Zixuan came to see you before he went to F City. If there’s anything you’re curious about, just ask.”
Ever since Wen Ran went on her business trip, MO Xiuchen had been busy with his construction project and had not been to the hospital.
But that didn’t mean he wasn’t aware of MO Zixuan’s visit to the hospital.
Wen Jin narrowed his eyes, his handsome features cold. He was blunt, he didn’t want to beat around the bush. “MO Zixuan did tell me something. I neither fully believed him nor discounted him entirely. He said that he, and Zhou Lin that night, it was you who set the whole thing up.”
As he said these words, Wen Jin’s gaze scrutinizingly swept over MO Xiuchen, not wanting to miss any change in his expression.
MO Xiuchen scoffed, a cold sarcasm playing at the corners of his mouth and retorted, “Did he also tell you that I set him up with Zhou Lin and took away his love to get back at him for Xiao Wenqing, who I blame for my mother’s death and for stealing my father from me?”
“Wasnt it the case?”
Wen Jin’s eyes darkened with a deep frown encroaching on his forehead.
“You only see that I used Wen Ran’s happiness as a condition to assist Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory, but this is my lifetime undertaking as well.”
MO Xiuchen did not directly answer Wen Jin’s question but replied with a hint of sarcasm.
“Everyone in G City knows that you, Young Master MO, are impotent. Even if those women are infatuated with your status and position, who can withstand the loneliness for a lifetime?”
Wen Jin’s harsh words only provoked a cold laugh from MO Xiuchen. “Do you still believe that I’m ill?”
“Just because everyone has been deceived by you doesn’t mean that I can let Ranran be with you.”
Wen Jin was suddenly furious. He had suspected earlier that his ‘illness’ was a lie and that those rumors were deliberately spread by him, but he had no evidence. However, after last night, when he and Wen Ran had consummated their marriage, and now that he had openly admitted it…
“Wen Jin, everyone has secrets, it’s just that I didn’t expose yours. Regardless of what MO Zixuan has told you, I only have one thing to say, I will not harm Wen
Ran.”
Ignoring Wen Jin’s fury and accusation, and without wanting to explain much, MO Xiuchen simply assured him that he wouldn’t harm Wen Ran. Wen Ran was already his wife. Whether Wen Jin was reassured or whether he accepted him, it wouldn’t change this fact.
That had always been the case, and even more so now! Once MO Xiuchen was set on something, he never changed it..
