MO Xiuchen leaned back in his chair, dismissively saying, “I asked around for you, she’s the biological child of her parents. If you want to meet her, I can arrange it for tomorrow.”
Years ago, upon learning that the girl who saved him had a mole on her chin, Gu Kai was convinced that she was his long-lost sister. Despite many years of searching, however, there was no news of her.
The two men discussed Cheng Jia’s situation for a while, and then Gu Kai changed the subject and said, “Yuting has found out about your marriage. She questioned me, asking if you were not actually impotent. She also mentioned cutting her trip short, and is likely to return in the next few days. You should be mentally prepared.”
MO Xiuchen’s handsome face slightly changed, he looked at Gu Kai with a suddenly sharp gaze, “Did you tell her the truth?”
“No, I told her I didn’t know.”
MO Xiuchen shot him a glance and said gruffly, “She’s your cousin, you handle it.”
“If I were able to prevent her from liking you, I would have done so already. I really don’t understand what’s so great about you. You’re impotent, for god’s sake, yet Yuting remains infatuated with you. I’ve introduced her to countless outstanding young men over the years, but she didn’t have eyes for any of them.”
In the end, Gu Kai threw his hands up in frustration, indicating his powerlessness.
Years ago, when news of MO Xiuchen’s impotency spread throughout G city, Shen Yuting had cried her heart out. Over the years, she never confessed her feelings to MO Xiuchen, but everyone around them knew how she felt about him.
Gu Kai discouraged Shen Yuting more than once, yet his attempts were futile.
Shen Yuting, only two years younger than MO Xiuchen and Gu Kai, was now a 26 -year-old spinster who refused any man’s pursuit due to her feelings for MO Xiuchen.
Over the years, there were no women beside MO Xiuchen. The only exception was Shen Yuting.
It was out of respect for Gu Kai that MO Xiuchen was more gentle towards Shen Yuting than other girls.
“Why not find a family for her and arrange a marriage.”
MO Xiuchen’s suggestion left Gu Kai speechless, staring at the ceiling, “Don’t you already know what Yuting’s personality is like? I’m not dealing with this situation, it’s your problem now.”
Gu Kai downed the cup in front of him in one gulp, then said to MO Xiuchen, “I am free tomorrow at noon. Should I meet Cheng Jia at her workplace or will you arrange it in your office?”
MO Xiuchen casually replied, “At my office.”
He knew that Gu Kai would not give up until he met Cheng Jia in person and confirmed she was not his long-lost sister.
“No, I don’t want an injection!”
“Dad, Mom…’
“Brother…”
At one-thirty in the morning, Wen Ran woke up from her nightmare. She sat up abruptly, her pale forehead covered in a layer of fine sweat beads. Unlike her previous nightmares, this time, she dreamt of her father and mother.
The scene of the car accident reappeared in her dream. She and her brother had just got out of the car when it burst into flames. She could do nothing but watch as her parents were consumed by the fire…
“Having a nightmare?”
The door to the room was pushed open at that moment, and the tall figure of MO Xiuchen walked in from the doorway. Wiping away her tears, Wen Ran’s slender body was enveloped in sorrow, shaking uncontrollably.
MO Xiuchen, who had just arrived home, stood at the doorway and heard her ‘crying’. Under the soft glow of the dim wall lamp, her tear-streaked face glowed white. The sight of her with teary eyes, biting her lower lip, was heart-wrenching..
