Chapter 1137: 1136 Evil Fate

“Arriving in G City at 10:30 PM.”

After saying this, An Lin pulled out a tissue, bent down to wipe Ziyi’s mouth who had finished eating and smiled, “Ranran, can you hold Ziyi for a moment? You should eat your breakfast first.”

She had just finished speaking when the door of the hospital room was pushed open from the outside. Xiaoxiao walked in with a thermal container, accompanied by Li Qian and Zhou Lin.

“Ranran, I came to apologize.”

Xiaoxiao, looking pitiful, stood straight in front of the bed with a face full of remorse as she looked at Wen Ran.

Li Qian and Zhou Lin twitched at the corners of their mouths. This girl had been too scared to come up just now downstairs.

“What are you apologizing for?”

Wen Ran rolled her eyes, shifting her gaze from her to Zhou Lin and Li Qian, “Why are only the two of you here?”

“It was Xiaoxiao who dragged us along, saying she was afraid you’d hit her,” Zhou Lin blurted out immediately, earning herself a glare from Xiaoxiao.

“Ranran, please be magnanimous and don’t hold a grudge against me. I didn’t know there was a sleeping aid in the soup that night, which caused you to sleep for two days. If you want to blame someone, blame Mo Xiuchen. When he comes back tonight, you can make him kneel on durian all night, and we promise we won’t stop you.”

“Xiaoxiao, you’re quite ruthless, aren’t you afraid that Xiuchen will hold a grudge against you?” An Lin teased her jokingly. Xiaoxiao was always up to mischief.

Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, “I’m not afraid, let Mo Xiuchen hold his grudge however he wants, as long as Ranran isn’t upset.”

“As long as Momo is safe and sound when she returns, I’ll forgive you.” Wen Ran glared at her. She didn’t believe that Xiaoxiao was completely unaware.

The more Xiaoxiao explained, the more it proved she knew.

Wen Ran remembered the phone call Xiaoxiao had received that night; she had yes and okay’d, even stepping near the window to take it. Now that she thought about it, the call might have been from Mo Xiuchen.

Xiaoxiao smiled sycophantically, “Ranran, don’t worry, Momo is safe. I’ll go with you to the airport to pick her up tonight, okay?”

“Xiaoxiao, Mo Xiuchen asked you to take care of Ranran, not to coax her into going to the airport to pick up a guest,” Li Qian bluntly exposed her. Everyone else was extremely cautious during the postnatal confinement period.

Ranran was right in the middle of her confinement, and yet, so much had already happened. Seeing her already-thin figure, Li Qian couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy.

“It’s okay, I’m not letting Ranran get exposed to wind. Besides, having Ranran go to the airport to pick up Momo will surely make her feel better than waiting anxiously here in the hospital, right, Ranran?”

“Yes.”

Wen Ran finally showed her a smile, and Xiaoxiao was thrilled, serving her the soup with great care, “Ranran, let me feed you.”

Outside the hospital room, Qin Mu and Wen Jin stood in the smoking area, each lit a cigarette and puffed away.

“Cheng Jia is dead, He Cheng is now in prison, and Li En will also be sent back to the country tonight. This matter can finally come to a close,” Wen Jin exclaimed as he blew out a ring of smoke.

Qin Mu turned his head, looked at his handsome face obscured by the smoke, and his lips curved into a relieved smile, “Yeah, Cheng Jia has always been a hidden danger. Xiuchen had always been afraid she would harm Ranran, and his worries did turn into reality in the end. However, her death was a bit unexpected.”

Wen Jin scoffed lightly, “That’s Mo Xiuchen’s doing—his troublesome romances. If it weren’t for him, why would Cheng Jia have kidnapped Momo? Seeing how distressed Ranran was those days, I was really worried about her eyes in the future.”

“That might have been a karma Xiuchen had from a past life. Didn’t Cheng Jia even say before she died that if there was another life, she would definitely meet Xiuchen first?”

Wen Ran didn’t know about this yet.

That night, in front of Wen Ran, Lu Zhiyan didn’t tell Mo Xiuchen. It was only later that he mentioned it.

Wen Jin’s brows furrowed slightly, “If that’s really the case, I’d rather hope that in the next life, Ranran wouldn’t know Mo Xiuchen and just live a simple life with an ordinary man.”

Because of Mo Xiuchen, Ranran had been hurt many times.

“You may hope so, but Ranran doesn’t think that way,” Qin Mu withdrew his gaze, looking out the window.

He just hoped Ranran and Mo Xiuchen wouldn’t have anything more to do with each other and could live this life happily. After all, no one knows if there is an afterlife.

Wen Jin smiled and didn’t say anything more. Matters of the heart really are hard to explain.

Cheng Jia had been obsessed for over a decade and ultimately sacrificed her own life. However, Lu Zhiyan said that before her death, she was still thinking of Mo Xiuchen, asking him to tell Mo Xiuchen that she truly loved him.

Love had driven her mad.

Even thinking about the next life, she wanted to meet him before Wen Ran did.

Mo Xiuchen wasn’t the flirtatious type, yet he made three women love him desperately.

He couldn’t possibly give his love to three women at once. He didn’t choose Shen Yuting, who he first met, nor did he choose Cheng Jia, who appeared before him as a lifesaver and loved him devotedly. Instead, he gave his lifelong affection to Wen Ran, his destined lover.

This seemed to have sealed the fates of Cheng Jia and Shen Yuting.

No matter how crazy or persistent they were, they couldn’t find happiness.

Because of Mo Xiuchen, Cheng Jia lost all reason and ultimately lost her life, while Shen Yuting, after much turmoil, chose to erase her memories and start anew.

“Ah Jin, Momo has been found and all these matters resolved. Isn’t it time you found a woman to marry and start your own family?”

Qin Mu teased as he threw his cigarette butt into a nearby trash can.

Wen Jin smiled and said, “I’m not in a hurry; I’m quite fine being on my own.”

“Being on your own?”

Qin Mu looked at him incredulously. He couldn’t really be planning to stay single his whole life, could he? The Wen Family was counting on him to carry on the family line.

“That night, the baby brought back wasn’t wanted by anyone, right? I’m planning to adopt her. Being mistaken for Momo, she must be fated to be connected to Momo.”

Wen Jin said casually, which took Qin Mu by surprise, “You mean, you’re planning to adopt that baby girl, Ah Jin? If Ranran knew you were adopting her just to avoid getting married, she definitely wouldn’t agree.”

Wen Jin raised an eyebrow, “That’s something I’ve only told you.”

“Don’t worry, I don’t have the time to expose your secret.” Qin Mu scoffed. He was returning to City C tomorrow and wouldn’t have time to meddle in his affairs.

“Ah Feng even called today to ask if Xiaoxiao had returned to the country.”

Wen Jin changed the subject.

Qin Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly, his voice deepened, “He and Bai Xiaoxiao, it seems, are not destined to be together in this life.”

“If Ranran hadn’t grabbed his mother that time in the mall, he and Xiaoxiao would definitely have had no chance. Ranran risked her own and her baby’s health by delivering prematurely to give them another chance. Mo Xiuchen used that incident to get his mother to agree to help him break ties with Qi Meiling. What happens next is up to their fate,”

Wen Jin’s lips pursed as he spoke solemnly. That day, if Ranran hadn’t held onto Mother Luo, once Mother Bai had regained her appearance, Bai Xiaoxiao would have hated Luo Haofeng to death.
