Wen Ran blinked her eyes, thought for a while before answering, “He didn’t know at first, but later on, he must have known. However, he didn’t go to the pharmaceutical factory very often. I suspect his productivity would drop significantly if he took a daily tour around the workshop.”
As they were talking, they arrived at the first checkpoint for the examination.
Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen were not the earliest to arrive, many employees had arrived sooner than them.
Shen Yuting wanted to cut in line for Wen Ran, but she refused, saying that there were not many people in front so it’s okay to queue.
“Sister Ting, you go about your business. I know the sequence of the medical examination.”
Wen Ran, holding her medical examination form in her hand, spoke to Shen Yuting, who was accompanying her.
“My task this morning is to be with you.”
After Shen Yuting finished speaking, she looked at the people lining up for blood drawing in front and suggested, “Ranran, how about I help you draw blood? You don’t need to queue up. After the blood draw, we can directly move to the next part.”
“Alright!”
Wen Ran did not want to waste her time and readily agreed.
Mo Xiuchen was sitting in Gu Kai’s office. The swirling smoke enveloped their handsome faces, and the color in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes deepened as the smoke rose.
“You look so nervous, didn’t Ranran notice it?”
Gu kai looked at Mo Xiuchen beside him. Holding the cigarette tightly and without breaking it, the cigarette was indeed long-lasting.
“On the way here, she mentioned it.”
Mo Xiuchen merely smiled. His nervousness back then, half of it was feigned.
He intentionally let her notice, to prepare for the examination results. If there were any problems, Ranran wouldn’t find it strange or suspicious.
“Ah Kai, if necessary to have Ranran undergo treatment sooner or later, then I suggest we start once the examination results are out.”
Mo Xiuchen took a deep drag of his cigarette and put out the remaining half in the ashtray.
Upon hearing this, Gu Kai’s eyes narrowed, “Aren’t you the one who keeps opposing Ranran’s treatment?”
“If there’s a chance, I’d of course be willing too. And this time, seems like the perfect opportunity.”
The examination results Mo Xiuchen had prepared prior were intended for the day when Ranran might question why they didn’t have a child.
But later, Wen Ran suggested to have a medical examination.
He changed his mind then, and Gu Kai soon understood his intentions. “Are you planning to use this medical examination as an opportunity to tell Ranran that you are really sick and then let her accompany you in taking medicine?”
“Is there anything wrong with that?”
Mo Xiuchen smiled, whether she accompanies him or vice versa, as long as she stayed healthy, he was willing to do either.
“But will Ranran accompany you in taking the medication? That’s not just one or two doses.”
Gu Kai had some worries, besides, the specifics of Ranran’s condition were still unclear. What he feared the most was, even if treatment was administered, it might not have any effect.
Mo Xiuchen’s confident smile grew deeper, “She certainly will, but you all have to help me in keeping her in the dark. She absolutely can’t know the truth.”
He’d rather have Ranran sympathize with him and take medicine with him than let her know there was a problem with her body.
” You were seen by Yuting before, just yesterday, she specially came to my office to ask me if you were sick or if it was a fake medical statement for Ranran.”
Gu Kai mentioned this in a somewhat displeased tone, and even glared at Mo Xiuchen
“Then remind her to keep a secret.”
Mo Xiuchen replied indifferently. He didn’t care about Shen Yuting, who he had previously met and had asked to keep this a secret from Ranran.
“I’m just worried that Yuting, being so infatuated with you, might one day be unable to keep the secret and would tell Ranran the truth.”
Gu Kai was always uneasy about this. Even if Shen Yuting was his cousin, he couldn’t fully trust her. Yuting was a proud and self-respecting woman. What worried him the most was her persistence towards Mo Xiuchen.
She knew about Ranran’s background and also about Ranran’s and Mo Xiuchen’s love for each other, yet she was unwilling to let go. How things would turn out in the future was something he really couldn’t guarantee.
There was a subtle coolness in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes and he said lightly, “That’s her problem. It’s not my problem if she likes me. Why not introduce her to some young talents and let her try dating to distract her. If that doesn’t work, send her abroad to further her studies, preferably not to return until three to five years later.”
“You’re really cruel.”
Gu Kai looked at Mo Xiuchen’s indifferent expression. He thought that after marrying Ranran, Mo Xiuchen had changed.
He suddenly discovered that Mo Xiuchen remained the same and hadn’t changed at all. In addition to showing affection and dedication to Ranran, he was indifferent towards others.
Mo Xiuchen gave him a sidelong glance and said indifferently, “Being cruel to her is always better than showing her pity, as that would truly harm her.”
In dealing with a woman like Shen Yuting, if he showed her the slightest kindness, she would give her all to him. This was something Mo Xiuchen understood very clearly.
Just now, at the hospital entrance, he wasn’t oblivious to Shen Yuting’s glances at him, he just chose to ignore them.
“Yes, you’ve always been cold to Yuting and have never expressed any interest in her, but she’s still infatuated with you like she’s been poisoned. I don’t know what to do with her.”
“Then send her abroad to avoid any complications.”
Mo Xiuchen projected all his tenderness and affection onto Wen Ran. He was no different to Shen Yuting and other women.
Shen Yuting going abroad would ease some of the troubles. While overseas, she could focus on her medical specialization to help distract herself and remove her from her distress.
“She just returned from abroad not too long ago, under what grounds do I have to send her abroad again? Do think going abroad is something so trivial? It’s not as if she’s going on a vacation.”
Gu Kai replied indignantly.
“Isn’t there a reason now?”
Mo Xiuchen gave him a ‘You’re really stupid’ look and said indifferently, “Wait for Ranran’s results, then use it as a reason to send her abroad. This way, you can tell whether she really accepts Ranran as her cousin and you don’t have to worry about her causing any trouble.”
Gu Kai’s eyes flashed a sharp light and he stared hard at Mo Xiuchen, “Had you figured it out beforehand?”
Mo Xiuchen did not respond and leaned back in his sofa, taking a sip of tea from the cup in front of him, “I don’t like women I don’t love staring at me.”
“Xiuchen, you really are, cocky and narcissistic, no one can compare to you.”
Gu Kai couldn’t find any words to describe him. He even said he doesn’t like women he doesn’t love staring at him. He wondered why he had even sent Cheng Jia abroad to study.
Now, he wants to send Shen Yuting abroad too. It seems like one day, he would get rid of them, these third wheels, so that he and Ranran could enjoy their own world.
