Chapter 213: Ecstatic with joy

Outside the door, Qin Mu glanced at Wen Ran to ask if she wanted to go in.
Wen Ran slightly furrowed her brows, looking down at the breakfast in her hands.
She suddenly remembered the day of MO Xiuchen’s birthday when she brought food she had cooked herself to his office, just to find Cheng Jia also bringing him food.
The situation was somewhat similar to this morning.
However, this time, Cheng Jia was the one who brought the food, while today, Shen Yuting was the one visiting him in the hospital.
Cheng Jia’s admiration for MO Xiuchen was displayed overtly, while Shen Yuting as a friend, wasn’t saying anything inappropriate.
The grip Wen Ran had on the breakfast bag tightened slightly.
No matter who the woman in the ward was, she didn’t want MO Xiuchen to accept their affection.
Why else would Shen Yuting’s feelings for MO Xiuchen, although not obvious, be known to her as being no less than Cheng Jia’s!
She gave Qin Mu a subtle nod, and he took a step back. Wen Ran reached out and twisted open the door to the ward.
Though her movement was gentle, MO Xiuchen in the bed managed to hear her.
Perhaps not wanting to face Shen Yuting’s concern, he immediately looked up towards the door, expecting to see a nurse. However, as the door swung open, the woman who came into his sight was Wen Ran, his heart’s greatest desire.
MO Xiuchen’s eyes lit up, and he froze entirely.
He couldn’t believe that Wen Ran, in all her radiant beauty, had appeared so early at his hospital room. Seeing her standing there, he was overwhelmed by feelings of intense joy!
With her delicate body remaining silent, she quietly stood at the half-open door, her gaze meeting his in calmness.
His weakened face visibly pale due to blood loss now clearly visible to her. And contrary to his joy, her heart ached subtly at the sight of him.
With her back to the door, Shen Yuting noticed that MO Xiuchen was staring blankly at the door, seemingly frozen. She turned with a shock, looking in the same direction.
Upon spotting Wen Ran at the door, a slight change passed through her face.
Surprise replaced the initial reaction, and she stood up abruptly, breaking the quiet stare that was only understood by MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran. “Ranran, why are you here?”
Wen Ran walked into the ward without saying a word. Blocked behind her, Qin Mu also followed in.
“I only found out about Xiuchen’s injury and hospitalization in the wee hours.
Sister Ting, why are you here?”
Wen Ran’s expression was calm and indifferent.
In her gentle voice, you could not decipher any emotions. She then walked towards the bed, placing her breakfast on the small bedside table, right next to Shen Yuting’s thermos lunch box.
Shen Yuting glanced at MO Xiuchen lying on the bed and replied with a smile, “I was giving a talk in City C and coincidentally found out that Xiuchen got injured. I thought you were all the way in G City, so I made some breakfast he likes and brought some soup. Ranran, your timing is excellent. Xiuchen said he has no appetite, he doesn’t want to eat. Can you coax him into eating something? How else could he recover?”
In the end, Shen Yuting glanced over at MO Xiuchen again.
Since Wen Ran was in his sight, MO Xiuchen’s gaze never left her face. It was as if the others in the ward did not exist in his world at all; his eyes and his heart were filled with only Wen Ran.
No matter if Wen Ran was watching him or not, he just watched her intently.
A hint of loss flashed in Shen Yuting’s eyes, and she moved her gaze away, looking at Wen Ran.
“Yuting, Wen Ran has brought breakfast for Xiuchen too. We’ll leave now. She can handle everything.”
Standing several steps back, Qin Mu didn’t approach, nor did he greet MO Xiuchen. He directly said to Shen Yuting.
“Alright!”
Shen Yuting nodded lightly, then looked at Wen Ran and said, “Ranran,
Xiuchen lost quite a bit of blood. You must make sure he drinks this soup. I will come to see him at noon.”
“You can carry on with your work; I will take care of him.”
Wen Ran glanced again at MO Xiuchen who was lying on the sick bed, then saw Shen Yuting and Qin Mu out of the room, closed the door, and only turned around to look back at the man on the bed after that.
As their eyes met, MO Xiuchen had turmoil brimming in his eyes. When he opened his mouth to speak, his hoarse voice was filled with suppressed emotion. “Ranran!”
Wen Ran’s chest trembled sharply. She pressed her lips together tightly, refusing to speak.
MO Xiuchen’s eyes darkened slightly, his gaze becoming even more profound and heated as she drew near, he softly explained, “I did not invite Shen Yuting here.”
Wen Ran’s small face fell further, her lips pressed into an even tighter line. She moved to the side of the bed, opened her breakfast, and handed it to him without saying a word.
MO Xiuchen stared at the breakfast she handed him.
Seeing that she was ignoring him in her anger, a touch of desolation appeared in his eyes. Unlike before, he didn’t say anything about having no appetite. He reached out to take the food.
Just when Wen Ran thought he was going to take the breakfast, he quickly pulled his hand back. Looking into her eyes, he blinked gently at her. With pitiful pleading in his voice, he said, “Ranran, I’m injured. Will you feed me, please?”
Wen Ran’s pupils contracted.
Her heart felt as if it had been cruelly stung by something, a pain that was indescribable in words quickly spread throughout her body.
The man in front of her, with his handsome features, slight frown and expectant gaze, did not look anything like the resolute, intelligent CEO he represented at work.
He was neither the cold, indifferent man who had left her behind after their wedding, nor the domineering man who demanded her wifely duties to ward off the women who admired him.
He wasn’t the man who rescued her from a cliff, or the MO Xiuchen who proclaimed his love to her, asking merely for her company for the rest of his life in return.
This moment, all she saw was an injured man, every bit as vulnerable as an average person, yet also acting pitiful to win her sympathy and tenderness.
However, this very side of MO Xiuchen was what touched Wen Ran’s heart the most.
All her emotions and discomfort were swept away by the clear and expectant look in his eyes. Her heart softened like a serene lake.
“Ranran!”
Seeing her remain silent, the always arrogant and confident MO Xiuchen felt unsettled. He had hoped for Wen Ran’s jealousy in the past but now he was afraid that she would be upset with him because of Shen Yuting.
Maybe because he knew about Wen Ran’s background and that Shen Yuting was her cousin and not some other woman. He didn’t want their relationship to sour because of him.
Of course, more importantly, he didn’t want to upset Ranran.
She appeared in his hospital room first thing in the morning, it was clear that she had rushed over overnight.
She rushed over here right after finding out about his injury at 2 a.m. Checking the time, she indeed was right on schedule.
As brilliant as he, MO Xiuchen, was, he couldn’t find the words to describe the feelings of joy and gratitude in his heart. It was an indescribable happiness that reached into his soul and penetrated his bones..
