MO Xiuchen was both annoyed and amused by his words. His tall figure stood in the middle of the room, his eyes watching Gu Kai who was walking towards him in a suit. Mu Xiuchen pressed his lips together and softly said:

“Ah Kai, if you truly believe Wen Ran to be your sister, get a DNA test done.”

Gu Kai walked up to him, about to tell him to leave when he heard his words. His face changed slightly, discontentment gathered between his brows, his gaze sharply stared at MO Xiuchen: “Xiuchen, what are you worried about?”

MO Xiuchen’s expression was serious as he voiced his concerns without any hesitation: “I’m worried you’ll get in too deep.”

All of Gu Kai’s good mood vanished completely due to his words. The corner of his mouth curled in derision as he said word by word: “Don’t worry, I am not the sort of man who would steal his brother’s woman. I have no romantic feelings towards Wen Ran.”

When he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

MO Xiuchen’s eyes flickered indecisively, about to say something when Gu Kai’s phone suddenly rang. While taking out his phone, he harshly said: “You should leave, I’m not going.”

MO Xiuchen stood still, waiting for him to answer the phone.

Gu Kai really couldn’t go. A chain collision had occurred on the expressway nearest to their hospital. Among the vehicles that collided was a passenger bus, causing dozens of deaths and injuries.

He finished the call, the anger on his face was gone, replaced by the solemn and grave determination of a doctor. He said to MO Xiuchen, “There was a car accident on the expressway, I really can’t go.” Then he rushed out of the office.

The place that Wen Ran had invited MO Xiuchen to was a family-owned western restaurant nearby, which was quiet and elegant.

When the steak arrived, MO Xiuchen reached out and cut the piece in front of Wen Ran with practiced elegance. After cutting it, he pushed it in front of her and joked, “You invited me for a meal, so I can’t just sit here and do nothing. Now, at least, I haven’t eaten for free.”

Wen Ran laughed, her eyes curving: “I invited you to this meal because I needed your help. If your help is equated with cutting the steak, I would need to pay you if I needed your help again?

Seeing the waiter walk away, MO Xiuchen’s smiling eyes flashed a hint of ambiguity, he lowered his voice slightly: “No rush, wait until tonight.”

Wen Ran stared at him in disbelieve. She looked at the man in front of her, outwardly elegant, gentle and warm, but the words coming from his mouth were getting more and more rogue.

Her face flushed, she avoided his flirtatious gaze and took a small bite of her steak, pretending not to understand what he just said.

MO Xiuchen noticed Wen Ran’s blush, which somehow uplifted his mood. Even though she slept in his arms every night, they did the most intimate things, but she was still so easily shy.

The sight of her blushing made his heart flutter.

“Ah Kai was supposed to come with me when I came to pick you up.” MO Xiuchen suddenly changed the topic, speaking casually.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ran raised her head, her clear eyes looking at him: “Did you go to the hospital?”

MO Xiuchen hummed in response, explaining: “Uncle Gu called me, asked me to go to the hospital, so I went.”

As he spoke, his actions slowed down. Wen Ran’s gaze swept over the knife and fork in his hands, then landed on his deep, pond-like eyes. She thought for a bit, softy asked: “Director Gu wanted you? Is there something about your father’s health?”

Wen Ran didn’t finish her sentence, she knew MO Xiuchen would understand.

On that day, his father’s surgery was done by Director Gu, so Wen Ran’s speculation was reasonable.

MO Xiuchen’s expression changed slightly, his tone faint: “No, my father wanted to see me, but fearing that I would refuse, he asked Uncle Gu to mediate.”

Having said that, MO Xiuchen paused slightly, his deep gaze watching Wen Ran as he softly asked: “Ranran, if my father apologizes to you, would you forgive him?”

Wen Ran’s hand which was holding the fork tightened slightly, her facial expression subtly altered due to his words. She avoided MO Xiuchen’s deep gaze, looking down, her lips lightly pressed together, she didn’t speak.

She was unable to answer MO Xiuchen’s question.

Even if the person was his father, she knew she couldn’t act as if nothing had happened, because what he did almost cost her the entitlement to motherhood for the rest of her life.

As a woman, the inability to bear children was such a regret and pain. Although she didn’t plan on having children now, she wasn’t the type of woman who planned to not have children her entire life.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became a bit stifling.

After staying silent for a while, it was MO Xiuchen who spoke first: “Ranran, I’ve already rejected him for you. Not to mention you, even I can’t forgive what he did.”

Wen Ran suddenly raised her head, her eyes staring at him in surprise. Their eyes met, she looked at his ink-colored eyes, thought of the words he said before his father that day. Amidst her overwhelming sadness, a surge of warmth welled up in her heart. She softly said: “Although I can’t forgive what he did, I can understand why he did it. You don’t need to argue with him because of me, and you don’t need to blame, or even hate him because of me.”

There were already enough misunderstandings between him and his father, she didn’t want him to hate his father because of her.

After all, no matter how much he hates, that man is still his father. She didn’t hope that his hatred for his father would lead to his own unhappiness. Ever since she learnt about his childhood, she felt unspeakable pity towards MO Xiuchen. She wished she could transcend time and space to go back to his childhood, to give him warmth.

MO Xiuchen, moved, reached out to hold Wen Ran’s soft hand: “The hatred I have for him doesn’t care about this much. He wanted to meet me today to let me immediately take over the group. I think, he is trying to make up for his previous mistakes, which is why I rejected him.”

Wen Ran’s eyes widened again.

She felt that she didn’t understand MO Xiuchen at all. He always surprised her.

MO Xiuchen simply held her hand quietly, his gaze warm as he watched her, seeming like he was waiting for her to give suggestions.

When this thought flashed across her mind, Wen Ran felt an unexplainable feeling in her heart. This was his business, he didn’t need to tell her at all. But now, he used a negotiating and seeking advice gaze to look at her.

She felt his appreciation for their marriage and care for her.

Yes, it was care. He wasn’t like other men who sweet-talked constantly, nor was he like MO Zixuan who always said ‘I like you’, ‘I love you’. But what he did, warmed her heart bit by bit.

“Even if Chairman MO truly feels guilty, there’s no need to compensate with the group. I actually think that you taking over the group is helping him. His health isn’t good now, for such a big group, without a wise leader, it is very

dangerous.”

Unbelievable, the knot in MO Xiuchen’s heart was untied by Wen Ran’s simple words. He was originally angry that his father was trying to use this method to compensate. Thinking that if he did this, MO Xiuchen would act as if nothing had happened.

Now that Wen Ran said this, he thought it was reasonable..
