MO Xiuchen’s thin lips pressed together, embracing Gu Kai’s inquisitive gaze, and said with indifference, “In the afternoon, Ah Mu came back with a phone call confirming that Wen Ran is not Wen Hongrui’s biological daughter. The real Wen Ran died of an illness sixteen years ago.”

Gu Kai had heard him say this before, so he wasn’t too surprised by the answer.

“Then how did this Wen Ran come about? Is she an orphan adopted by Wen Hongrui?”

A hint of a frosty smile played around MO Xiuchen’s lips, “I don’t know, I can’t investigate it for now. It seems that Wen Hongrui doesn’t want anyone to know Wen Ran’s identity and origins.”

“Do you still believe she’s the one who saved your life?”

Gu Kai pressed him; he knew that MO Xiuchen was a stubborn man, and no one could change what he had decided.

“Whether she is or not, I’ll know once I find out.”

MO Xiuchen’s gaze was deep and firm, he trusted his own feelings. Over the years, he had been searching for that little girl, and he had come into contact with more than just one or two women, but none of them gave him the same feelings as when he was with Wen Ran.

“What if you find out in the end that she’s not the one?”

Gu Kai sighed lightly, back in the day, he had convinced himself that the little girl who saved MO Xiuchen was his long-lost sister. But now, MO Xiuchen had set his mind on Wen Ran, leaving him in a state of confusion.

As they arrived at Wen Jin’s hospital room door, MO Xiuchen’s phone rang urgently.

He took out his phone, checked the call, and his good-looking eyebrows instantly furrowed, a flash of disgust appearing in his eyes. Gu Kai, on the other hand, noticed his expression and curiously leaned over to see who was calling.

“Hello!”

“Young Master MO, I seem to have a fever, my head hurts so much, can you come over to my house?”

In the ward, Wen Ran heard the voice outside, turned her head to see, but saw no one. After waiting for a while, she told Wen Jin she’d be right back and walked towards the door.

Opening the door, she saw MO Xiuchen standing a couple of steps away, talking on the phone with an indifferent expression. Gu Kai smiled at her and said

hello before stepping into the ward.

“You wait at home, I’ll send Little Liu over.”

After MO Xiuchen finished speaking, he hung up the phone without caring whether the person on the other end agreed or not.

When he raised his eyes to Wen Ran, the indifference in his eyes was replaced by a hint of warmth. As he dialed Little Liu’s number, he explained to her, “That was Cheng Jia, she said she might have a fever, so I’m sending Little Liu over to check on her.”

Wen Ranqing’s clear eyes flashed a trace of surprise. While she felt that Cheng Jia was pitiful for trying so hard to get close to MO Xiuchen only to be met with his cold indifference, she was actually quite pleased in her heart.

The more ruthless MO Xiuchen was towards other women, the more relieved she felt. She didn’t have to deal with the women who admired him, and even if there was no love between them, at the very least, he was faithful to the marriage.

“Little Liu, go to Cheng Jia’s home now. If she has a fever, take her to the hospital.”

As soon as MO Xiuchen connected the call, he commanded in a low voice. Little Liu, hearing that he had to go to Cheng Jia’s home again, immediately made a bitter face and bargained, ‘Master MO, can we send someone else?”

MO Xiuchen’s eyebrows furrowed, he counter-asked, “Who else do you think is suitable besides you?”

“Master MO, Cheng Jia obviously doesn’t want me to go, the person she wants to see is you…”

“Is that so, then I’ll tell Nanny Zhang tonight that you really like that Little Hua and that you two should get married soon.”

MO Xiuchen’s lips curved up, hinting at an unfair threat.

“Master MO, you mustn’t, I’ll go. Isn’t it okay if I go, and from now on, whenever Cheng Jia looks for you, I’ll go.”

Shocked at the thought of being wed to Little Hua, Little Liu immediately broke into a cold sweat. He preferred dealing with MO Xiuchen’s troubles than marrying Little Hua.

“Alright, get going!”

MO Xiuchen’s lips curved up in satisfaction, reprimanding Little Liu was a piece of cake for him.

At ten that night, in the elegantly decorated yet cold master bedroom, the crystal lamp shone brightly in every corner.

When she heard the sound of the bathroom door opening, Wen Ran, leaning against the headboard, inexplicably missed a heartbeat. The hand holding the magazine unconsciously tightened – even though she had already shared a bed with MO Xiuchen for several nights, she still couldn’t stay as calm as usual.

As he approached, her heart raced.

“Are you tired?”

MO Xiuchen came to the bedside, took the magazine from her hands, climbed into bed and naturally took her into his arms. Just like the previous nights, Wen Ran stiffened slightly as he made the gesture.

A blush spread across her fair little face instantly.

She looked so tempting that anyone would want to take a bite.

“When will you get used to this?”

A sigh from MO Xiuchen echoed above her head, as he gently pushed her away and gazed at her deeply.

The distance between them was so close that their breaths intermingled. Wen

Ran’s heart was beating even faster. “I might take a little longer to adapt.”

She made an excuse for herself. His gaze was too deep for her to meet, and his thin, sexy lips were alluring. Tempting images of them kissing began flooding her mind.

A tremor of excitement shot through her, and she unwittingly pursed her lips.

“Wen Ran! ”

MO Xiuchen noticed her nervousness, and warmth flowed from his heart. Even his voice acquired a hint of gentleness.

Wen Ran looked up, her eyes sparkling under the crystal light, brilliantly reflecting his image. Looking at the reflection of himself in her eyes, he suddenly laughed.

“What are you laughing at?”

Wen Ran asked, confused.

“Do you remember what I told you this afternoon?”

MO Xiuchen replied with a counter-question. His distinctive hand holding her shoulder blade, and his charming smile was captivating.

“What did you say?

Wen Ran’s eyes twinkled and she pretended not to know.

MO Xiuchen’s gaze rested on her blushed face, a hint of depth filled his eyes, his voice was slightly husky as he said, “I said I won’t let you be widowed for the rest of your life, I didn’t say that just for the sake of it.”

Wen Ran’s heart quivered intensely!

Staring into MO Xiuchen’s deep and fervid eyes, was he hinting that he wanted to consummate their marriage tonight? Her period hadn’t ended yet. Upon this thought, she nervously averted her gaze, stuttering, “Well, I still have my period, so it’s not possible tonight.”

MO Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed, seeing her nervous yet cute expression, he suddenly wanted to tease her, “What day is it today and how many more days do you have?”

Wen Ran was taken aback. He was actually asking her such personal questions.

Her period usually ended on the fifth day, and it was almost over today. But, how could she tell him that she was ending her period today? Although she had contemplated helping him cure his ailment, she hadn’t fully prepared herself yet.

“It didn’t end today, did it?”
