Chapter 257: Accompanied him for the inspection
Translator: 549690339
“Ranran, MO Xiuchen’s childhood isn’t as bleak as you think it is. Even though he lost his mother, and his father created a new family, he had me, Ah Feng, and Ah Mu to grow up with.”
What Gu Kai said was not just to comfort Wen Ran, but it was the truth.
Thanks to their friendship, Gu Kai’s own childhood had not been as lonely. They had even helped him evade Xiao Wenqing’s schemes.
Wen Ran smiled faintly, her smile infused with emotion. She knew that Gu Kai, Luo Haofeng, Qin Mu, and MO Xiuchen were very good brothers. Meeting them had been his luck and happiness.
“Older Brother Gu, thank you all.”
Gu Kai’s expression stiffened slightly, but soon he suppressed the bitterness in his heart, a radiant smile blooming on his handsome face. “What are you thanking me for? I just don’t want you to be upset because of Xiuchen’s childhood and rush to have kids for him. Most girls your age haven’t even started dating yet. You don’t need to hurry.”
Wen Ran pressed her lips together and said softly, “I’m not in a hurry. It’s just that Xiuchen might have some insecurities, feeling like the hurt he’d suffered in the past will affect him having children. Older Brother Gu, I’d like to ask you to find an opportunity to have Xiuchen come to the hospital for a check-up.”
“A… check-up?”
Gu Kai’s mouth twitched. If he told Wen Ran that MO Xiuchen had already had a check-up, and that the results were as they are, she would be even more upset.
He suddenly felt that MO Xiuchen had made a wrong decision. He didn’t know how to explain to Wen Ran now. If he agreed to her request, what if MO Xiuchen presented that diagnosis someday? Wouldn’t it be as if he was helping to deceive Wen Ran?
Although this whole thing was indeed a deception!
Still, he was reluctant to do it. Thinking about it, he couldn’t help but frown.
“Older Brother Gu, are you worried that Xiuchen won’t agree to have a check-up?”
Seeing Gu Kai frown as if in a dilemma, Wen Ran thought for a moment and said, “How about I come with him for a check-up? After all, we didn’t do a premarital check-up when we got our marriage certificate.”
Gu Kai’s expression changed slightly, and he blurted out, “No, I was just thinking about how much luck MO Xiuchen must have accumulated from his previous lives to meet a wonderful girl like you, Ranran.”
Wen Ran felt relieved, her brows relaxed and a smile returned to her face. “Older Brother Gu, you got it all wrong. It’s me who’s lucky to have met such a
wonderful person like Xiuchen. It’s precisely because he has been good to me that I want to be extra good to him.”
“Hehe,” Gu Kai chuckled, ‘Whether it’s you who’s lucky or Xiuchen who’s virtuous, anyway, you two are now the envy of many people. I’ll remember what you said. Don’t worry about it. Since Xiuchen has recovered, there shouldn’t be any problem.”
Wen Ran stood up smiling, “Then I’ll trouble you, Older Brother Gu. I have something else to discuss with my brother. I’ll leave now.”
Gu Kai also stood up and escorted Wen Ran out of his office. Standing at the door, watching her figure disappear at the end of the corridor, he finally turned around and went back into his office. He pulled out his phone and dialed MO Xiuchen’s number.
After a few rings, MO Xiuchen’s voice came from the other end, sounding low and a bit lazy. “Hello, Ah Kai!”
“Xiuchen, what exactly did you say to Ranran?”
Gu Kai asked sternly. He thought MO Xiuchen must’ve said something to Wen Ran, hence her insistence on having children.
He mentioned the other day about letting nature take its course, but he was worried that if they did let it go, and Ranran still had suspicions a year or a half later.
Just now, when Ranran proposed to come for a check-up with Xiuchen, he wanted to agree, using the opportunity to better understand her situation so he could come up with proper solutions. But he feared that something might go wrong…
“I didn’t say anything to Ranran. What’s wrong? Did she come looking for you again?” MO Xiuchen asked, sounding a little puzzled.
Recalled something, his voice suddenly changed from confusion to tension.
With a somewhat cold look on his handsome face, Gu Kai answered, “Yes, she just left. She asked me to make an opportunity for you to have a check-up and see if everything is normal and whether it will affect having kids.” “So, what did you say?
MO Xiuchen’s face also changed as he asked with furrowed brows.
Gu Kai responded irritably, “How could I respond? I couldn’t certainly tell her that you had already had a check-up and even have an infertility diagnosis. She just told me that your childhood was too lonely, unlike hers in a happy family. She wants to have a child for you, to give you a happy and complete home.”
On the other end of the phone, MO Xiuchen fell silent. For a while, there was just the sound of breathing heard on both ends of the call.
Gu Kai gripped his phone tightly, took a deep breath to steady his emotions, and after a while he continued, “Xiuchen, my father still hasn’t found a therapy for Ranran. You need to dispel her idea of wanting to have children. This can’t go on, it won’t stay hidden forever.”
“I know.”
The complex emotions were evident in MO Xiuchen’s voice. Those words, although Gu Kai just relayed, felt as if he heard them from Wen Ran herself. The image of her crying because of feeling sorry for him appeared before his eyes, and his heart clenched.
“Where’s Ranran now?”
“She went to Wen Jin’s hospital room.”
“I’ll hang up first.”
MO Xiuchen hung up Gu Kai’s call. He had told Qin Mu to find Wen Jin and was wondering if Qin Mu had left Wen Jin’s room by now.
Considering this matter relates to Wen Ran, he was increasingly unwilling for Wen Ran and Qin Mu to meet.
He dialed Qin Mu’s number. It connected quickly. After a couple of rings, Qin Mu’s voice came through, and MO Xiuchen immediately asked, “Ah Mu, are you still in Wen Jin’s room? Wen Ran went to Wen Jin’s room, did you see her?”
“I just left Wen Jin’s room. I ran into Wen Ran in the corridor, talked to her for a bit, and I’m about to go back.”
On the other end of the line, Qin Mu looked at Wen Ran standing in front of him, his tone calm and indifferent. His ability to tell a lie was top-notch.
MO Xiuchen’s eyes darkened, and he spoke in a low voice, “Let Ranran answer the phone. ”
A moment later, Wen Ran’s voice came across, soft and gentle like a breeze brushing past his ear. “Xiuchen, what’s up?
“I heard from Ah Mu that you went to the hospital. Why didn’t you go to work at the factory?”
The cloud of emotion lifted from MO Xinchen’s eyes replaced by a warmth- His
voice involuntarily softened with a touch of tenderness.
Wen Ran chuckled lightly, her voice soft. “Zhou Lin gave me some items. I went to show them to my brother. Oh, you don’t need to pick me up later. I’ll go home directly from the hospital.”
“Zhou Lin has been looking for you?” MO Xiuchen sounded slightly surprised.
“Yeah, she came to see me. She said she’s leaving G City in a few days to go to other cities. Ah… let’s talk about the details when I get home..”
