Wen Ran shook her head, “I’m waiting for Mo Xiuchen, he said he’d pick me up after the dinner party.”
“I just called Mo Xiuchen, he’s on his way to the hospital, let’s go down and wait for him.”
Gu Kai smiled gently, speaking in a soft tone.
“Alright!”
Wen Ran blinked, not sure whether she was being too sensitive, but she felt that Gu Kai had something to tell her. Pondering for a moment, she agreed.
After saying goodbye to Bai Xiaoxiao and her mother, Wen Ran left with Gu Kai.
“Ranran, the results of the examination are out.”
Gu Kai spoke as they approached the elevator.
Wen Ran paused, stopping in her tracks.
With the help of the light, she looked up at Gu Kai. His eyes were as dark as ink, and under his handsome brows, his smile had faded, inexplicably making her feel uneasy.
“Did something go wrong with Mo Xiuchen’s and my medical examination?”
After a moment, Wen Ran asked softly.
“I just talked to Mo Xiuchen, he said he’d tell you himself.”
Looking at Wen Ran’s beautiful eyes, Gu Kai felt a pang of pain. She was only 23, in the prime of her life, but…
His hand in his pocket clenched into a tight fist.
“Older Brother Gu!”
A pale color spread across Wen Ran’s face, Gu Kai’s expression made her heart sink.
He said he’d told Mo Xiuchen already. Did that mean there was really something wrong with Mo Xiuchen? Without realizing it, she pursed her lips.
“Ranran, originally I promised Mo Xiuchen that he would tell you himself, but since you’ve asked me before, I thought it was better to let you know.”
Gu Kai took a deep breath, suppressing his sadness, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
“Older Brother Gu, go ahead.”
Wen Ran’s voice was so soft, like a gentle breeze whispering in Gu Kai’s ear. Under her gaze, he said softly, “When Mo Xiuchen got hurt before, we all thought he was ruined for life. After many years of treatment, and because he didn’t show much interest in women, I told you that I didn’t know if he was actually cured.”
At the elevator entrance, Wen Ran listened quietly. The elevator doors opened and closed, yet no one came out, and no one went in.
“His current condition isn’t the worst. As long as he keeps getting treatment, you two can still have your own child someday.”
Wen Ran’s lips tightened, and her body stiffened slightly.
She remembered the previous conversation they had in this hospital when she and Mo Xiuchen went to see Gu Kai. She told him in the corridor that she wanted to have a child.
At that moment, he had frozen in surprise.
His expression was strange, and she stubbornly thought that he didn’t like the idea of having children.
Now she understood. He was likely haunted by some sort of trauma. Even if his previous illness was cured, it had left behind some issues…
Suddenly, her eyes stung, and she instinctively looked up at the ceiling.
Gu Kai’s voice stopped.
Just the day before, she saw Shen Yuting in his office with tears in her eyes, trying hard not to cry.
She was heartbroken over her love, unwilling to let go of Mo Xiuchen…
Now, Ranran’s eyes were also welling up with tears. They were so crystal clear, making her eyes look like the brightest pearls. Gu Kai felt a tightening in his heart as he saw this.
Her love for Mo Xiuchen was unlike Shen Yuting’s, which had persevered for so many years. When Wen Ran married Mo Xiuchen, she didn’t even know him, let alone love him.
But in the past few months of living together, her love had slowly taken root, like a vine quickly entwining her whole heart. Unconsciously, her love had reached a point where she couldn’t let go.
The deeper the love, the more unbearable the pain.
As she looked up at the ceiling, a tear slipped from her eye, rolling down her fair cheek. Seeing this, Gu Kai drew a tissue from his pocket to wipe her tears, “Ranran, actually, you two could consider not having children.”
Although all of this was a lie, those words were still hard for Gu Kai to utter.
Wen Ran suddenly stiffened!
Her clear eyes widened abruptly as she stared at him. After quite a while, she softly shook her head, as if making a difficult decision in her heart, “Older Brother Gu, I want to try.”
Gu Kai was shocked and couldn’t speak the words he had planned.
There were still tears in Wen Ran’s eyes, but a strong smile emerged on her face. Like a flower blooming after the rain, it was eye-catching. “I told you before, I want to give Mo Xiuchen a complete love and a complete family. No matter how hard it is, I’m willing to accompany him through the treatment. Only when he’s physically healthy will he not have any psychological shadows.”
“Ranran!”
Gu Kai stared at Wen Ran in astonishment.
She seemed so heartbroken, yet her words were so resolute.
“I’m fine, Older Brother Gu, really, I’m fine.”
Wen Ran tried hard to suppress her sadness, forcing a smile.
“Mo Xiuchen hates drinking traditional Chinese medicine the most, but considering his condition, it’s best for him to take it. If you’re really decided on his treatment, you must convince him to drink it.”
Wen Ran’s eyes flickered and quickly came up with an idea, “If he’s unwilling, then I’ll drink it with him.”
“That’s a man’s medicine, how can you drink it with him?”
Gu Kai frowned, seemingly not agreeing with her suggestion. But inside, he let out a sigh of relief. He had said all this just to hear her say that.
“Older Brother Gu, can’t you prescribe some other medicine for me? Something like a tonic? I just want to drink medicine in solidarity with Xiuchen. I never said that I wanted to take his medicine.”
“Aren’t you afraid of bitterness? It’s not just for two or three days.”
Gu Kai was still skeptical, afraid she couldn’t persist.
“I’m not afraid!”
Wen Ran’s brow slightly furrowed. Actually, just thinking about the bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine made her unable to bear it.
Even though she had grown up around Chinese medicine and she could identify many medicinal scents, drinking medicine wasn’t like eating candy. No one would willingly do it.
But now, for the sake of Mo Xiuchen’s illness and to cure him, she was willing.
Whether it was drinking for a month or two or a year or two, she would accompany him.
In the past, when he suffered, she wasn’t by his side. She’d only heard him talk about it, and it had broken her heart.
Now that she could be there with him, she found it comforting.
Just as Gu Kai was about to say something, Wen Ran’s phone suddenly began to vibrate. After a moment of buzzing, the ringtone sounded.
“Mo Xiuchen should be here.”
Looking at her tear-soaked, crystal clear eyes, Gu Kai spoke, adjusting his tone to be as light and tender as possible.
Wen Ran took out her phone, and seeing the name displayed on the incoming call, a warm look entered her teary eyes. She said softly, “It’s Mo Xiuchen.”
As she spoke, she raised her other hand to wipe her tears, took a deep breath and calmed her emotions until her voice was light and tender, “Hello, Mo Xiuchen!”
