Wen Ran stiffened slightly at this!
Upon mentioning Wen Jin, the emotions in her heart started to stir uncontrollably again.
Perhaps sensing her emotional unrest, Mo Xiuchen held her tighter, “Ranran, listen to me, try to sleep a bit more, I’ll wake you up after I make breakfast, you don’t have to go to the company with me today. After breakfast, if you don’t feel like sleeping anymore, let Gu Kai take you to the hospital, or I could take you to the pharmaceutical factory. You haven’t been seen there for a while now, Wen Jin should be heading there this morning.”
Wen Ran knew that he cared about her, she didn’t want him to worry, but she really couldn’t sleep.
“Even if you can’t sleep, can you lie down for some more time?” He asked, her current state was something that couldn’t help breaking anyone’s heart.
“Okay!”
Wen Ran nodded her head, she wanted to give him a reassuring smile, but upon pulling the corners of her mouth upwards, she found that she couldn’t smile.
In the end, she remained in bed while Mo Xiuchen got up, got dressed, washed up, and before leaving the bedroom, he bent down to kiss her forehead. Then, he went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
When Mo Xiuchen went downstairs, Gu Kai was already waiting for him in the living room.
Upon hearing the footsteps from the stairwell, he immediately looked up. Seeing Mo Xiuchen alone, a surge of emotion flashed in his eyes, he asked quietly, “Did Ranran sleep well last night?”
Mo Xiuchen looked at Gu Kai’s worried face and noted the tiredness in his brow. He shook his head, “She, like you, didn’t sleep at all last night. She wanted to get up just now but I managed to persuade her to lie down a bit longer.”
Hearing this, Gu Kai’s handsome face slightly paled, and a touch of distress emerged in his ink-black eyes. “Just now, I called Wen Jin. I told him that Ranran already knows about her origins.”
Mo Xiuchen’s brows slightly furrowed, “I’m still unsure what Ranran is thinking right now. Since she already knows about her background, she will probably also suspect that she was the little girl who saved me years ago. Furthermore, she may be wondering why she doesn’t remember anything from her past.”
“We absolutely cannot let her find out about this.”
Gu Kai instinctively glanced at the second floor, speaking in a lowered voice.
Looking at him, Mo Xiuchen uttered anxiously, “Ranran didn’t say anything last night but I can sense it. She’s not just finding it hard to accept her past, but she also struggles with how everyone found out about it but didn’t tell her, how everyone concealed this from her.”
Gu Kai insisted, “Even so, we can’t inform her just yet. She won’t be able to handle so much information at once. Let’s keep it a secret for now, at least until my dad comes back from abroad. Before I called Wen Jin, I called my father. He should be back in a few days.”
“Yes, that seems like our only option for now. So will Wen Jin be going to the pharmaceutical factory or wait for her in the hospital?”
“He’ll be waiting in the hospital. Later, I’ll accompany Ranran to the hospital. The company has been rather busy these few days, so go to work, we can’t afford any mishaps.”
Last night, Mo Xiuchen had briefly mentioned that Mo Jingteng had put Xiao Wenqing under house arrest.
“It’s okay, I can go to the company later. Ah Mu and Ah Feng are there, after dropping you two off at the hospital, I’ll head to the office.”
Mo Xiuchen was ultimately worried about Wen Ran. He wanted to be with her every second of the day.
But today was bound to be busy, partly because Xiao Wenqing was imprisoned by Mo Jingteng, and Mo Zixuan was rejected by Mo Jingteng. Who knew what would happen now?
While lying in bed, Wen Ran was still unable to fall asleep.
When Mo Xiuchen went upstairs to call her for breakfast, she was staring blankly at the ceiling.
A twinge of pain crossed his heart. He composed himself, a shallow smile spreading across his handsome face. He went to the wardrobe to choose an outfit for her, trying to maintain a light-hearted tone, “Ranran, time for breakfast.”
“That quick?”
Wen Ran saw his smile and also attempted to return it.
Mo Xiuchen raised his eyebrows teasingly, replied cheerfully, “With Gu Kai’s help, of course it was quick. He’s currently setting breakfast on the table. By the time you finish freshening up, you can enjoy the hot and delicious breakfast.”
“Both you and Older Brother Gu made it?”
Wen Ran looked surprised. Did Gu Kai also get up this early?
Mo Xiuchen didn’t want to hide anything from her, so he softly nodded, “Yes, just like you, Gu Kai didn’t sleep all night. He woke up early and he has informed your brother that Wen Jin will be waiting for you in the hospital in the morning instead of going to the factory.”
To avoid confusion and for her to get used to the changes, Mo Xiuchen made a clear distinction between Gu Kai and Wen Jin.
“Okay!”
Wen Ran responded softly.
She got up, dressed, freshened up, frowned at her reflection with dark circles under her eyes, and then hurriedly applied some makeup.
Mo Xiuchen watched her with a smile, quietly accompanying her until she was ready to leave the room, then they went downstairs together.
Just as they reached the stairwell, his phone rang abruptly. The sharp ringing felt particularly jarring in the tranquil morning.
Mo Xiuchen frowned slightly when he saw the caller ID, a trace of displeasure flashed across his eyes. The call from Mo Jingteng was such a bother this early in the morning!
He ended the call and put the phone back in his pocket.
“Aren’t you going to answer the phone?”
Wen Ran blinked, somewhat surprised as he put the phone back into his pocket.
“I’m not interested in what he has to say. Let’s go, let’s eat breakfast.”
Mo Xiuchen shelved his unhappiness away, a warm smile returning to his lips. Right now, he only wanted to be with Ranran and couldn’t care less about matters regarding Mo Jingteng or Xiao Wenqing.
“Good morning, Ranran!”
Upon hearing laughter, Gu Kai quickly came out of the dining room, he stood in the living room and called out to her from the stairwell.
“Good morning, Older Brother Gu!”
A soft smile appeared on Wen Ran’s face. As long as one did not look closely, they wouldn’t be able to tell that her smile was a bit strained.
She was trying hard to adapt, trying hard to accept this known reality.
Both Mo Xiuchen and Gu Kai noticed this. Seeing her make that effort, only made their hearts ache more.
Mo Xiuchen’s phone did not remain silent, the moment they finished going down the stairs, the annoying tune started playing again. He was about to switch his phone off when Wen Ran casually suggested amidst the chaos, “You should answer it, Chairman Mo might have something important to say.”
Gu Kai agreed, “Answer it. If you don’t, he’ll keep calling, and that’s even more annoying.”
After saying so, he turned to Wen Ran and smiled, “Ranran, let’s go have breakfast. Today’s breakfast wasn’t all Mo Xiuchen’s doing. I helped out too. Let’s see if you can tell which dish was made by whom.”
Gu Kai’s face was bright with a radiant smile, he hoped that his interactions with Ranran would be as relaxed and joyous as before, rather than make her feel out of place.
“Deal!”
Wen Ran smiled back at him and looked at Mo Xiuchen who was next to her. Seeing him press the answer button, she followed Gu Kai to the dining room, pulled out a chair and was just about to sit down but stopped abruptly when she heard Mo Xiuchen raise his voice!
