If she had known this from the start, Zhou Lin probably wouldn’t have cooperated.
Deep down, she didn’t want Wen Ran to be happier than she was.
Wen Ran didn’t press on, but instead said wistfully, “Yes, when MO Xiuchen and I got married, I had no idea he would be so good to me. I can only think about preserving the pharmaceutical factory that my father had dedicated his life to, even if it meant sacrificing my own happiness.”
Zhou Lin’s face changed, she opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she didn’t utter a word.
Wen Ran knew that Zhou Lin wouldn’t reveal all those secrets to her all at once. If she could spill one thing at a time, that would already be quite good.
She was not in a hurry either, just as MO Xiuchen had said, when she had no other way out, she would naturally tell them everything they wanted to know.
“What are your plans for the future?”
Wen Ran shifted the conversation, she had an idea how Xiao Wenqing and MO Zixuan had treated her.
She couldn’t return to the Mo’s mansion in the future, her father, Zhou Mingfu, was already dead, and she was alone, carrying a child.
“After I get discharged from the hospital in a couple of days, I’ll move in with my aunt. In the past, I didn’t understand people’s true intentions, but now I know who truly cares about me. Ranran, thank you for visiting me despite our past disagreements.”
Wen Ran smiled lightly and calmly said, “That’s good, happiness that doesn’t belong to you can’t be forced. Take care of yourself and your baby after you’re discharged. ”
Zhou Lin gently touched her belly, she had already had a checkup, she was expecting a girl.
That was why Xiao Wenqing had been so ruthless towards her. MO Zixuan, would not accept the child, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl. “I know, I will definitely give birth to the baby.”
Even though Zhou Lin hadn’t been the best person in the past, she truly cared about her baby. Perhaps it was a woman’s innate maternal love taking over.
Even if the father of the baby wouldn’t acknowledge the child, she would keep it.
Wen Ran handed her the peeled apple and placed the fruit knife back on the fruit plate. She gently said, “Rest well. If anything comes up in the future, you can always call me.”
Zhou Lin nodded, her eyes filled with grateful tears. Considering her father had harmed Wen Ran so much, even killing her parents, the kindness she showed was beyond Zhou Lin’s expectations.
Just as Wen Ran walked up to Wen Jin’s hospital room, a call from MO Zixuan came.
She slightly furrowed her brows, gave up the action of opening the door, took two steps back before she answered the call. Her voice faintly laced with annoyance, “Hello!”
“Ranran, have you seen Zhou Lin?”
MO Zixuan’s words caught Wen Ran by surprise. She had just come from Zhou Lin’s hospital room and MO Zixuan already knew about it? However, his tone didn’t indicate certainty.
A though flashed through her mind as she answered truthfully, “I just left her room, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing much, Ranran, don’t believe whatever Zhou Lin told you.”
On the other end of the phone, MO Zixuan’s voice carried angst and a hint of irritation. Right after Wen Ran had left, he had received a text message from Zhou Lin. She threatened that if he didn’t visit her, she would reveal all the secrets she knew.
Wen Ran’s gaze flickered, she responded calmly, “If she was just babbling nonsense, why are you so worried?”
There was silence on the phone for a moment, then MO Zixuan said, “Ranran, all I need from you is faith in me, no matter what she says, just don’t listen to her.’
On the way to pick up Wen Ran from work in the evening, MO Xiuchen told her that Cheng Jia had called Little Liu.
Wen Ran was staring out of the window, upon hearing his news, she turned to look at him curiously, “What did Cheng Jia tell Little Liu?”
She remembered MO Xiuchen saying that he would give her a night to think it over.
It seemed that after nearly a week of pondering and struggling, she had made a decision.
MO Xiuchen gave a light smile, taking one hand off the steering wheel, he reached over to pat her head, then said cheerfully, “She invited Little Liu to watch a movie together tonight.”
Wen Ran gawked in astonishment, “Cheng Jia asked Little Liu to watch a movie?”
“Yes!”
MO Xiuchen nodded, a smile spreading across his face. This outcome was within his expectations.
“Did Little Liu agree?”
Wen Ran’s eyes were bright and curious. Seeing this in MO Xiuchen’s eyes sparked a warm feeling inside his heart.
“I encouraged him to go.”
Suddenly, MO Xiuchen asked, “How about we also go watch a movie? What kind of movies do you like to watch?”
“Huh! ”
His words were too abrupt.
Wen Ran’s thoughts were still stuck on the news of Cheng Jia and Little Liu watching a movie together.
MO Xiuchen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, he spoke in an indulging tone,
“What’s with that huh! Don’t tell me you don’t want to watch a movie with me?”
When Wen Ran came to her senses, she quickly nodded, “Of course, I do, but, what kind of movie should we watch? I’m afraid I might fall asleep in the cinema.”
MO Xiuchen chuckled, then threatened, “If you dare fall asleep in the cinema, I will kiss you awake. We will watch whatever you like.”
Wen Ran gave him a side-eyed glance, stopping herself from saying the word “scoundrel” out loud.
However, deep down, she felt a sweet sensation. She thought she was getting corrupted by MO Xiuchen. Although his actions were naughty, subconsciously, she enjoyed his mischievous behavior.
Seeing that she didn’t object, MO Xiuchen added, “Cheng Jia and Little Liu are watching the 7 pm show, they are eating dinner right now. So want to join in the excitement?”
Wen Ran’s mouth twitched, “Are you sure Cheng Jia would want to see us?”
MO Xiuchen’s face was filled with delight, “Even if she doesn’t want to see us, we should go and make it livelier. We can preheat with a show before the movie. I need to see how genuine her sincerity is.”
“Well, I guess I’ll just have to risk my life to accompany you then.”
Wen Ran playfully stuck out her tongue. MO Xiuchen corrected her with a serious tone, “What’s with risking your life? Don’t misuse idioms. No one would dare to touch you when I’m around.”
Just as the Aston reached an intersection, he turned the wheel in the direction where Cheng Jia and Little Liu were dining. Ten minutes later, the Aston stopped in front of an elegant Western restaurant.
“Cheng Jia seems to know a thing or two about creating an atmosphere, inviting Little Liu to have dinner at a Western restaurant?”
As Wen Ran looked at the brightly lit restaurant, she expressed her wonder. Beside her, MO Xiuchen unfastened her seat belt. His tone was full of sarcasm when he said, “She’s not trying to create an atmosphere, she’s trying to show me her sincerity. However, she probably wants to make Little Liu embarrass himself.”
In Cheng Jia’s view, both of Little Liu’s parents were mere servants in the Mo’s mansion.
Little Liu himself was a driver who didn’t even graduate from junior high. Even when he was driving MO Xiuchen to places like this, he wasn’t allowed to enter.
He would definitely feel out of place dining in such a restaurant, and he might even end up making a fool of himself..
