Chapter 1075: 1074 Proposal

Wen Ran looked at Bai Yiyi with questioning eyes.

Meeting Wen Ran’s gaze, a flash of apology passed through Bai Yiyi’s eyes.

Gu Kai said nonchalantly, “It’s nothing. I just bumped a bit.”

“How can you be so careless?” Fang Zhiwei also saw the bruise on Li En’s forehead. She wasn’t foolish; she knew Gu Kai was lying. Early in the morning, Li En and Gu Kai had fought, and Bai Yiyi and Tongtong were also present.

Moreover, Gu Kai was holding Tongtong.

Just now, she had seen Tongtong’s small hand touching Gu Kai’s mouth corner, and Gu Kai looked at Tongtong with eyes full of affection. For some reason, such a sight made her feel inexplicably restless.

“Are Tongtong’s eyes better now?”

She didn’t expose Gu Kai’s lie or press further but rather extended her hand towards Tongtong with a smile.

Tongtong turned her head, glanced at her, and then reached out to grasp Gu Kai’s large hand.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Tongtong struggled to bring Gu Kai’s hand to her face. A flicker of surprise passed through Gu Kai’s eyes, but then he understood Tongtong’s intent and softly smiled, saying, “Tongtong isn’t crying anymore.”

“Tongtong’s eyes have recovered, and she can be discharged tomorrow.”

Because today was Sunday, the discharge would wait until Monday. Concerning Tongtong’s health, Bai Yiyi wasn’t in a hurry to leave.

“Doctor Gu, you’re holding Tongtong and neglecting your own girlfriend,” Li En said sarcastically, suddenly making the atmosphere eerie.

Seeing Gu Kai wiping Tongtong’s tears, Wen Ran felt a complex emotion stirring within her. Glancing at Fang Zhiwei, whose expression remained calm, she pursed her lips and said, “Brother, Sister Wei said she needs to speak with you.”

“Give Tongtong to me.”

Bai Yiyi reached out to hold Tongtong, but Tongtong was unwilling; her small body twisted in resistance, and the moment she left Gu Kai’s embrace, she burst into tears again.

“Tongtong really has a bond with you. Since Tongtong wants you to hold her, why not hold her a little longer? Or, let me hold her.”

Fang Zhiwei tried to help, but as Tongtong cried, Gu Kai held her again. Bai Yiyi’s expression changed. Just as she was about to speak, Li En behind her sneered, “Doctor Gu wants to hold a child, he should just get married to Miss Fang and have one of his own early.”

He went forward, extending his hands to hold Tongtong, saying, “Give Tongtong to me.”

“Elder Brother Li, Tongtong’s eyes haven’t fully recovered. She can’t cry.”

Bai Yiyi caught hold of Li En, willing to let Gu Kai hold Tongtong a bit longer as long as she wasn’t crying.

“Mo Xiuchen, you take Wen Ran into my office to rest for a while. It’s tiring standing here.”

Holding Tongtong, Gu Kai did not forget to care for Wen Ran, who stood there quite exhausted. After speaking, he said to Fang Zhiwei, “Zhiwei, you go into the office as well. I’ll bring Tongtong back to the ward and then come back.”

“Okay.”

Fang Zhiwei nodded gently.

“Ranran, let’s go to the office.”

Mo Xiuchen glanced at Li En standing next to Bai Yiyi, his expression dark. He lowered his gaze and said softly to Wen Ran.

Wen Ran felt uneasy, but thinking of Fang Zhiwei, she agreed to wait in the office for Gu Kai first.

“Tongtong has stopped crying. You can give her to me now.” Bai Yiyi did not want to affect things between Gu Kai and Fang Zhiwei, fearing that Gu Kai might later put the blame on her and make unreasonable demands.

She coaxed and took Tongtong back.

Seeing Tongtong stop crying, Gu Kai didn’t insist. His cold gaze met Li En’s, and after a silent standoff, Li En turned and walked away briskly.

In the office, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran sat down on the couch. Seeing her reaching out to touch her stomach, he smiled and asked, “Ranran, is the baby kicking you again?”

“But it’s very gentle.”

The smile in Wen Ran’s eyes was not only tender but also had a charm that she didn’t possess before pregnancy.

Mo Xiuchen let out a light laugh, his well-defined large palm also rested on Wen Ran’s abdomen, feeling the movements of the two little ones inside her, and said indulgently, “They must be cramped in there, so their movements are getting smaller and smaller.”

Wen Ran glared at Mo Xiuchen, then noticed Fang Zhiwei zoning out on another sofa. Her eyes twinkled, about to say something, when Gu Kai pushed the door and came in.

“Brother, the corner of your mouth, do you want to put some ointment on it?”

Seeing Gu Kai approaching, Wen Ran asked with concern.

Gu Kai raised his hand to touch the corner of his mouth and said nonchalantly, “It’s okay, it’ll heal in a couple of days.”

He walked over to Fang Zhiwei, who snapped back to reality, looked up, and gazed at Gu Kai.

Gu Kai pursed his lips, sat down beside her, and before he could speak, Fang Zhiwei reached out to touch the corner of his mouth, “Ah Kai, does it hurt?”

Gu Kai stiffened slightly but didn’t pull away his hand.

“It doesn’t hurt.”

He smiled gently, hesitating whether to tell Fang Zhiwei right now that Tongtong is his daughter.

Fang Zhiwei’s fingers touched his bruised corner of the mouth, a look of pity in her eyes, and then she said something that shocked everyone, “Ah Kai, let’s get married.”

Surprise flickered in Wen Ran’s eyes as she looked up at Mo Xiuchen.

Mo Xiuchen glanced at Gu Kai, who was also surprised, and said lightly, “You two talk, Ranran and I will leave first.”

At this moment, it wasn’t appropriate for them, the outsiders, to stay here. Seeing the situation, Wen Ran also didn’t plan to stay.

It would be so awkward if her brother rejected Fang Zhiwei.

Gu Kai frowned lightly, his gaze landing on Wen Ran’s protruding belly, reminding without forgetting, “Xiuchen, Ranran is getting more tired every day. Don’t let her overexert herself.”

Carrying twins was several times more challenging than carrying one, and the premature birth rate for twins was higher.

Ranran was already over six months pregnant, nearly seven, and should avoid overexerting herself.

Mo Xiuchen wrapped his arm around Wen Ran’s waist, slowing his pace, and after they stepped out of the office, he asked, “Ranran, where to now?”

Wen Ran looked back at the office of Gu Kai and said softly, “Let’s go to Dad’s office first. Yiyi might not have left there yet.”

“Okay, let’s head to Dad’s office then.”

Fang Zhiwei wasn’t foolish; she sensed something odd from the atmosphere earlier, making her the first to propose marriage to Gu Kai.

In the romance between her and Gu Kai, she had always been the proactive one. Now proposing marriage herself seemed acceptable.

With Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran gone from the office, the atmosphere turned somewhat stagnant for a time.

Seeing Gu Kai not responding, a hurt flashed through Fang Zhiwei’s eyes, breaking the deadlock, she stood up from the sofa, “Do you have any ointment in your office?”

“Zhiwei, you don’t need ointment, come sit down first.”

Gu Kai called out to Fang Zhiwei, who had just stepped away, she turned around, her gaze lingered on his face for two seconds, then returned and sat down again.

“Zhiwei, before I answer your question, let me first tell you something.”
