Mo Xiuchen pulled Wen Ran out of Gu Kai’s arms, wiping away her tears with his hand, his voice gentle and low, “Ranran, don’t cry. There’ll be other people coming tonight. Your identity is still kept secret for now. When you leave this room and go downstairs, you’re still Wen Ran.”
The party was hosted by Gu Kai, but it was for Mo Xiuchen’s wife’s birthday party. Everyone knew they were close, and it wasn’t unusual for him to invite them home to celebrate Wen Ran’s birthday.
Wen Ran looked up, her eyes filled with bewilderment.
Seeing her like that, Gu Kai’s heart tightened. Picking up where Mo Xiuchen left off, he explained, “We haven’t found the person who took you away yet, Ranran. The one who chased you might very likely be Fu Jingyi. We have some clues now, and we want to find him before revealing your identity.”
Such explanation made sense and was for her own safety.
“Okay!”
Wen Ran nodded gently, without objection.
After all, whether it was made public or not, she was still her.
She knew that Gu Kai was her brother, and he had another family apart from the Wen family, that was enough for her.
Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen glanced at each other. Both breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Kai looked at all the gifts and said with a smile, “Those are gifts from your previous twenty-two birthdays. This year’s gift is still in my room. Wait for me.”
With that, he turned and went into his room next door.
“Ranran, actually, having one more brother is a very happy thing, isn’t it?”
Mo Xiuchen didn’t want her to be upset anymore, so he joked with a smile. Having an extra brother meant an extra share of love, especially when Wen Jin and Gu Kai were among the best brothers in the world.
She looked at the smile in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes, knowing he just didn’t want her to be sad anymore. Her tears were still wet, and a radiant smile bloomed in her eyes again. “You can never bully me in this lifetime if not, my two brothers will hold you accountable.”
“Haha, how could I bear to bully you!”
Mo Xiuchen laughed lightly; he didn’t have time to be good to her yet.
“Ranran, here’s your gift.”
Gu Kai walked in with a delicate box and handed it to Wen Ran with a smile. Wen Ran happily accepted it, but didn’t immediately open it. Instead, she walked over to the row of gift shelves, put the gift in a compartment, turned around, and ran into Gu Kai’s startled eyes. She said with a smiles, “I’ll put it here. Let’s open it later.”
Gu Kai’s eyes moved slightly, and suddenly understood. Waves of delight surged in his eyes, and a bright smile bloomed on his face.
“Okay, we’ll open it later, we’ll open it later.”
Downstairs, Shen Yuting was greeting Bai Xiaoxiao and other guests as if she were the hostess.
All the guests were young people. Today’s protagonist was Wen Ran. Although her identity was not made public, most of the guests were relatives of the Gu family. Of course, there were also friends of Gu Kai, Mo Xiuchen, and Wen Jin.
You could say it was a gathering of handsome men and beautiful women!
“Yuting!”
While Shen Yuting was talking to Bai Xiaoxiao, a crisp voice sounded from behind her. She turned around and greeted with a smile, “Cousin!”
This woman, Shen Yulan, was Shen Yuting’s cousin, an uninvited woman who had the audacity to attend the party tonight.
Shen Yulan was dressed very seductively, her figure curvaceous, her smile enchanting. She bore a slight resemblance to Shen Yuting, but lacked her refinement.
“Yuting, you came so early! The party is so lively tonight, full of handsome men and pretty women. Where are uncle and Ah Kai? I haven’t seen them.”
She followed Shen Yuting, calling Gu Yan “uncle.”
“My cousin is upstairs with Xiuchen and Ranran. Uncle hasn’t come out because he’s busy. Cousin, you look beautiful today.”
Shen Yuting was polite; her cousin was indeed here for Gu Kai.
Not to mention that Gu Kai didn’t fancy her cousin, Shen Yuting didn’t really like her much either. She thought she was beautiful and flaunted herself like a peacock. Moreover, her view on love was something Shen Yuting did not agree with.
“Really? Yuting, you look beautiful today too.” Shen Yulan looked down at herself, today she had made a special effort to seize the chance to have a few words with Gu Kai and get closer to him.
She glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao sitting in the wheelchair, not knowing she was Wen Ran’s friend, she stepped forward, lowered her voice and asked, “Yuting, I saw Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran on TV the other day. I think you’re prettier than her. If I were you, I would do everything I could to hook up with Mo Xiuchen, at least sleep with him first.”
Shen Yuting’s face turned awkward. “Cousin, Xiuchen and I are friends.”
Next to them, Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart sank slightly. Before, she hadn’t paid much attention to this woman, but after hearing this, she couldn’t help but take a few more looks at her.
“Xiaoxiao, do you want some water?”
A few steps away, Wen Jin brought over a cup, Luo Haofeng next to him holding a drink, and together they added, “The cup Wen Jin has is warm water, mine is a beverage, but it’s a little cold. Which one would you like to drink?”
“Thank you, I’ll have the warm water.”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s thanks was directed towards Wen Jin.
Luo Haofeng shrugged indifferently, tilted his head back and drank his beverage.
Seeing them coming over, Shen Yuting excused herself then led Shen Yulan off to one side, probably to tell her not to talk nonsense.
“Wen Jin, did you see? That woman fell head over heels for Ah Kai last time and was rejected. I can’t believe Ah Kai actually invited her.”
Bai Xiaoxiao scorned Shen Yulan in her heart, so she was rebuffed when she launched herself at someone, “Just now she even suggested that Shen Yuting should go all out and sleep with Mo Xiuchen first.”
“Really?”
Luo Haofeng blinked, his gaze fixed on Bai Xiaoxiao.
Wen Jin was also slightly stunned, and he turned his head to look again at the woman who was led a long distance away by Shen Yuting.
“Do you think I made it up? She said it herself, she also said that Ranran is not as pretty as Shen Yuting.”
Bai Xiaoxiao was very protective. Whoever spoke ill of Ranran was immediately regarded as an enemy by her. Now, when she looked at that woman, she felt annoyed from every angle, and she could pick out a bunch of faults.
“She’s just talking. She can fantasize if she wants to. You don’t need to pay any attention to her.”
Luo Haofeng laughed and looked up at the second floor, then asked, “Do you want to go upstairs to find Wen Ran? There’s no one you know here, and Xiuchen and Ranran should be coming down soon.”
Bai Xiaoxiao looked up at the upstairs, pursed her lips, and said softly, “I want to go up, but I can’t get up in this wheelchair!”
“That’s easy!”
Luo Haofeng smiled confidently, handed his glass to Wen Jin, and then, as Bai Xiaoxiao was feeling regretful, he suddenly bent down. One hand went under her knees, and the other arm supported her neck, lifting her from the wheelchair!
