The call to Little Liu was made by Mo Xiuchen.
He had just taken Wen Ran back to the hospital. Bai Xiaoxiao had already woken up. Wen Ran was accompanying Bai Xiaoxiao and told Mo Xiuchen to go home first.
Mo Xiuchen sat in the luxurious driver’s seat of the Aston, with one hand holding a cellphone and the other arm leaning on the lowered car window. Between his long middle and index fingers, smoke wafted up.
He looked handsome with a lazy demeanor. Even as he leaned back into the seat, he exuded a sense of elegance and allure.
As Little Liu’s voice came through, Mo Xiuchen narrowed his eyes slightly, parted his lips, and spoke in a low voice, “Little Liu, where are you?”
“I’m at Cheng Jia’s home. She wasn’t feeling well this afternoon, so I brought her some food.”
Little Liu’s voice was not just nervous and guilty, but also emotionally unstable. Mo Xiuchen couldn’t see Little Liu’s expression through the phone call, but he sensed something was off. His tone sharpened, “Did Cheng Jia seduce you again?”
“Young master, I…”
Mo Xiuchen furrowed his brows, bent his arm, took a heavy drag from the cigarette held between his fingers, “If you truly want to break things off with her, do not be tempted. I will handle what needs to be done.”
“Young master, I understand.”
Little Liu hesitated. He was unsure whether he was swayed by Cheng Jia’s flirting, or if he couldn’t let go of his child.
“Come home and see me later.”
Mo Xiuchen didn’t say anything further, and hung up the phone.
In the hospital room, Wen Ran apologized, “Xiaoxiao, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have left Luo Haofeng alone with you. I have already warned him. For the time being, he is not allowed to come here anymore.”
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled. She was quick to anger but also quick to calm down, “Ranran, I wasn’t angry at you. Why are you apologizing? Actually, it wasn’t entirely Luo Haofeng’s fault. I was just too temperamental and got angry easily.”
“The most important thing is that my wound is too sensitive. It’s not just when I get angry. If I get too excited or happy, it will hurt.”
“Do you want something to eat?”
Wen Ran looked at her with pity. Her current condition was all due to Wen Ran.
“I won’t eat anymore. Ranran, I’m still a bit drowsy. I want to get some sleep.”
Bai Xiaoxiao yawned lightly. Due to her weakened state, she easily felt tired.
Wen Ran nodded and pulled the blanket up further for Xiaoxiao, “Have a good sleep, I will stay here with you.”
“I am not a child. Oh yes, I wanted to say this earlier. You have been staying by my side at the hospital for so many days. Aren’t you worried that Mo Xiuchen will be upset at home on his own? You can’t neglect him because of me. Why don’t you sleep at home tonight? It’s enough for you to accompany me during the day.”
Bai Xiaoxiao said considerately.
“How could that be? Until you’re discharged, I will stay here with you. No matter where I sleep, it’s the same. I feel more at ease sleeping here.”
Until Bai Xiaoxiao fully recovered, the guilt that Wen Ran felt would not disappear, so she naturally wanted to stay with Bai Xiaoxiao.
“Ranran, I know what you’re thinking. You believe I got injured because of you, so you’ve been taking care of me all the time. Actually, I just reflexively pushed you away that time. It wasn’t as grand a gesture as you think. Alright, the most important thing is that I am getting tired of looking at you all day.”
Bai Xiaoxiao had tried her best to argue. She didn’t want Wen Ran to continue taking care of her like this.
Wen Ran shot her an annoyed glance, stood up, and lay on the adjacent bed, teasing her, “If you’re sapped from looking at me alone, then starting tomorrow, I will have a handsome man visit you every day. Go to sleep, sweet dreams of handsome men.”
“Ranran, what does it take for you to go home?”
Bai Xiaoxiao pouted, “Cheng Jia works in the same building as Mo Xiuchen every day. You have to watch them closely. Even if Mo Xiuchen doesn’t have any intentions, Cheng Jia will surely scheme to create opportunities.”
Wen Ran chuckled and closed her eyes, remaining silent.
“The annoying Ranran!”
Bai Xiaoxiao gave up on arguing with her. After staring at Wen Ran for a while, she closed her eyes and was soon asleep.
In a villa on the outskirts of City B,
Xiao Wenqing touched the scab on her face with hate in her eyes.
Wu Tianyi stepped out from the bathroom, striding over to her, grabbing her shoulders, and bending down to look at the scars on her face, “Wenqing, your scabs will fall off in a few days, and new skin will grow. It won’t be long before your face heals completely.”
“Can it truly heal considering how deep the scar is?”
Xiao Wenqing looked up at Wu Tianyi. Despite being nearly fifty, she was still vain and couldn’t bear the thought of becoming hideous.
Wu Tianyi replied with a smile, “Of course it can. Professor Fu’s medical skills are the best in the world. He is currently researching drugs that can alter human genes. Perhaps, he will succeed soon.”
Xiao Wenqing was slightly relieved. She pursed her lips and asked, “What is the situation in G City? Haven’t you got in touch with Zixuan yet?”
The smile on Wu Tianyi’s face faded, his expression became serious. The police in G City were currently investigating the hit-and-run case. Mo Xiuchen suspected that they were responsible. Mo Zixuan was being watched 24/7 and his phone was most likely being tapped.
“I will contact him once things have settled down. Mo Jingteng has already given up on him. I will let him come to City B when Mo Xiuchen’s people stop monitoring him.”
Wu Tianyi didn’t like Mo Zixuan, but for Xiao Wenqing, he had no choice but to accept him reluctantly.
“Hm, we will kidnap Wen Ran once Mo Xiuchen lets down his guard.”
In Xiao Wenqing’s eyes, there was a vicious gleam. The original plan wasn’t to hit Wen Ran, but to aim for Bai Xiaoxiao.
Yet, by coincidence, Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao were together.
Still, the person who ended up injured was Bai Xiaoxiao. Xiao Wenqing didn’t regret failing to hit Wen Ran, on the contrary, she felt very good about it. The fact that Bai Xiaoxiao would risk her life for Wen Ran made it easier for her to kidnap Wen Ran in the future.
A cold smile appeared on Wu Tianyi’s face, “Hmm, there’s no hurry. Let’s wait for the wound on your face to heal first and let Mo Xiuchen worry for a while. I want him to experience the taste of fear.”
With those words, he pulled Xiao Wenqing up from her chair, wrapped his arms around her, and they headed towards the bed. For the past few days, when her wound wasn’t fully scabbed yet, he had been afraid of hurting her. Now that her face had scabbed over, he was at liberty to do as he pleased.
Xiao Wenqing didn’t resist. Instead, she responded passionately. Both of them quickly tumbled onto the bed, and an atmosphere of wanton depravity filled the room…
Late into the night in G City, affected by a cold front, a sudden wind started to blow. Rain, mixed with snow, fell.
The living room was as warm as spring.
On the leather sofa, Mo Xiuchen took an elegant sip of coffee, placed his phone on the coffee table. A cold draft drifted in from the foyer, followed by the figure of Little Liu appearing before him.
“Young master!”
Little Liu took off his coat, his tall figure standing in front of the sofa, hanging his head, waiting for his young master to scold him.
