Chapter 589: Don’t allow to say it again, 588
Gu Kai’s brow furrowed as he grabbed his phone, seeing the end of the call displayed on the screen, he murmured a curse under his breath.
“Gu Kai, was that phone call really from Fu Jingyi?”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression was full of complexity, and she opened her eyes wide to see Gu Kai’s handsome face turning green from rage, she couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.
Gu Kai took a long deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and then looked at Bai Xiaoxiao. His calm voice still carried a hint of barely perceptible restraint, “Yes!”
“What did he say? Does he have a solution?”
Bai Xiaoxiao asked hesitantly. As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it.
A pervert like Fu Jingyi wouldn’t reveal any solutions to Gu Kai, even if he had any. His call was simply meant to provoke, ridicule, and deliberately infuriate Gu Kai.
The darkness in Gu Kai’s eyes intensified at the thought of Fu Jingyi’s alleged ‘solution’ mentioned during the call. A surge of rage flooded him once again. His lips pressed firmly together forming a cold, determined line. He refused to believe that there were no other alternatives.

The next morning when Wen Ran woke up, she was still feeling groggy.
Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was Mo Xiuchen’s handsome, sculptured features. His eyes, deep and gentle, were concentrated on her.
She reached up to massage her forehead, and last night’s memories came flooding back. Wen Ran’s delicate face turned pale, then red, then green, and back to white again. Her eyes reflected shock, doubt, and her heart was filled with confusion, worry, and fear…
All those emotions washed over her in an instant.
“Ranran!”
Seeing her face turn red, then white, then angry and shocked, and exhibiting panic and self-blame, Mo Xiuchen’s heart was twisted in pain. He gripped her hand and called her softly.
“Last night, we…”
Wen Ran’s voice trembled slightly.
Mostly from self-blame and fear.
Last night, he took her out to a nightclub, and she was really happy at first.
Halfway through the night, Mo Xiuchen’s phone rang. He got up to answer it, taking the opportunity to go to the restroom, leaving her alone at the table, which wasn’t unusual.
But as soon as he left, a young woman came over to flirt. Wen Ran didn’t engage, so the woman quickly lost interest and left. Did she put something in her drink?
Because she was sick, she wasn’t drinking alcohol, but water.
However, after drinking that cup of water, within two minutes her head started to hurt. At this point, Mo Xiuchen came back from the restroom and, seeing that she didn’t look well, he took her out of the nightclub.
As soon as they left the club, she felt feverish and dizzy…
Mo Xiuchen took her back to the hotel, and things quickly spiraled out of control. The two of them, who hadn’t been intimate in a long time, spent almost the entire night in wild passion.
Mo Xiuchen’s slightly curled lips revealed a soft smile, and his deep black eyes carried a hint of amusement, he asked careingly, “Ranran, do you still feel dizzy?”
“How was my drink spiked?”
Wen Ran was extremely annoyed. If it were under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t matter so much, because the man who was with her last night was Mo Xiuchen, the man she deeply loved. But now, she couldn’t be with him, she regretted not being able to control herself.
Upon thinking about this, she slapped herself on the forehead. Mo Xiuchen’s eyes tightened, and he quickly grabbed her hand, saying with a distressed voice, “Ranran, you can’t hit yourself like this.”
Wen Ran looked at his worried face, her nose suddenly started to sting, and she felt an unspeakable sadness in her heart. She stared at him in earnest, asking nervously, “Xiuchen, how many times did we do it last night?”
Mo Xiuchen was stunned at first, then he chuckled lightly. He pulled her into his arms and said with a light tone, “I can’t remember, maybe three or four times. Until the drug in your body was completely eliminated, and you fell asleep due to exhaustion.”
His voice was gentle, magnetic, and sinfully alluring. It was clear that he was happy with Wen Ran’s passionate response last night. They hadn’t been intimate for too long. Last night wasn’t just about Wen Ran being drugged and her passionate reaction, he himself also lost his head in the moment.
Seeing Wen Ran’s face turn bright red instantly, he felt a wave of emotion stirring in his heart. His gaze suddenly became heated, “Ranran, don’t worry. It’s just one night. It won’t matter.”
He understood very well where her panic and self-blame came from. She was afraid that their intimacy last night might have transferred the poison in her body to him.
“Why didn’t you just throw me into cold water and leave me there for the night.”
Wen Ran looked at him and uttered a muffled question, her eyes were already becoming a little red.
Just because he said it was alright, doesn’t mean it’s definitely okay! Wasn’t she allowed to be scared?
Mo Xiuchen pulled her more tightly into his warm embrace, his voice low and filled with distress, “Ranran, I can’t bear to let you soak in cold water. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have taken you to a place like a nightclub. Such a place is indeed not suitable for you.”
Speaking, he lowered his head and placed a kiss filled with apology on her forehead.
Her heart contracted with pain, and Wen Ran tightly hugged his waist, burying her face in his chest. Her voice choked with emotion, “Xiuchen, I’m just scared that if I really harm you, then I would prefer…”
“Don’t you dare say anything about leaving me.”
Mo Xiuchen hastily cut her off, and Wen Ran was left speechless, the words stuck in her throat.
A ringing phone interrupted their conversation. Mo Xiuchen took out his phone and looked at it, then said gently, “It’s my dad. He is probably urging us to go to the hospital. Ranran, if you’re still feeling sleepy, you can sleep while you’re on the drip later at the hospital, okay?”
“Okay.”
Wen Ran nodded, pressing her lips firmly together.
Mo Xiuchen got up to get her clothes and as he turned around, a flicker of unusual emotion passed through his deep eyes.

“Dad, I need some sleeping pills.”
In the afternoon, after Wen Ran fell asleep, Mo Xiuchen stepped out of the room and stood in the corridor, calling Gu Yan.
“Sleeping pills, Xiuchen, why do you need those?”
At that very moment, Gu Yan was in the lab with Brown, Joseph and others. He held a scalpel in his hand; he looked puzzled as he listened to Mo Xiuchen’s words.
Mo Xiuchen’s deep eyes gazed at the door in front of him, as if he could see through the door to the sleeping woman on the bed. She was the woman he loved, for whom he was willing to sacrifice everything, even his own life.
Bo Yi’s thin lip lightly pursed, “Dad, I’ve been suffering from insomnia recently and not resting well…”
He had already thought of an excuse, not wanting Ranran to worry about him. Moreover, he didn’t want to be in a poor mental state and unable to take care of Ranran properly.
Gu Yan didn’t ask any further, nor did he overthink it. Brown was calling him at that moment, he responded, and then he said into the phone, “Alright, I’ll bring some to your room in a bit.”
“Dad, don’t tell Ranran. I don’t want her to know.”
“Alright!”
