Gu Kai’s Office

The strong aroma of coffee and the subtle scent of tea mingle in the air, quickly pervading the entire office.

Leaning forward on the genuine leather sofa, Gu Kai’s sleek, fair fingers caress his beloved ivory teacup. He stares at his friend sitting opposite him, his expression languid. He can hardly believe that the man, who is usually averse to any contact with women, has just said that he does not reject Wen Ran.

This piece of news is too shocking, making it hard for him to believe.

After a long while, he finally takes a breath and reassures himself of what he just heard, “Mo Xiuchen, you really don’t mind Wen Ran? But, how do you know you don’t mind her? Have you held hands, kissed, or more?”

Mo Xiuchen sips from his coffee, setting it down before replying coldly, “All of G city knows that I, Mo Xiuchen, am impotent.”

Gu Kai’s mouth twitches sarcastically. With scant sympathy, he points out, “Without your help, how could those rumors seem so ‘real’?”

A hint of coldness flits across Mo Xiuchen’s eyes. Back then, he had no choice but to be the one spreading the rumors.

Sensing the chill emanating from him, Gu Kai sighs lightly and says thoughtfully,

“I always thought you were set on that girl from the past. It’s surprising that you ended up marrying someone else. To be honest, I don’t support your actions. Wen Ran is innocent.”

Back then, Mo Xiuchen was extremely close to…

“Since when did you become so nitpicky?” 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Mo Xiuchen’s gaze suddenly sharpens, causing Gu Kai to shift uncomfortably under his gaze. He laughs awkwardly and says, “I am a doctor at heart and hate to see innocent people get involved.”

“I am helping her!”

The chilly aura around Mo Xiuchen dissipates as he leans back into the sofa, lazily explaining. Pausing for a second, he adds,

“She lost her parents all at once. Mo Zixuan betrayed her when she was most vulnerable. The Wen Family is plagued with internal and external troubles. If no one protects her, this girl, who just stepped out of the ivory tower, could be devoured at any moment.”

His words aren’t an exaggeration. Wen Ran’s parents died in a car accident, her brother became brain dead in order to protect her, and the Wen Family is eyed by many ambitious individuals. All these challenges are way too overwhelming for a young girl.

Gu Kai frowns, pondering for a while before mustering the courage to ask,

“But what if you find that girl from the past? What will you do with Wen Ran?”

A trace of depth flickers in Mo Xiuchen’s gaze.

His sensual lips firm into a determined line. Back then, he had not gotten a clear look at how that young girl looked like. He just remembers that her voice was pleasant, and she said she had a mole on her chin…

Not only was he looking for that girl, but Gu Kai also started searching because his lost sister, too, had a mole on her chin.

Half an hour later, Wen Ran emerges from the ward, her eyes red and swollen.

Her features are etched with indelible sorrow. Her eyes, clearer than usual, are radiant as stars, harboring a sense of determination and strength.

Upon seeing her red, swollen eyes, Mo Xiuchen frowns displeasingly, “Have you been crying inside for half an hour?”

Could her eyes be this swollen without crying for so long?

Wen Ran quickly averts her gaze from his sharp eyes and says stiffly, “No, I was talking to my brother in the ward.” fre ewebno vel.com

“If you are going to be like this every time, then don’t come to the hospital in the future.”

Mo Xiuchen leaves after his cold remark, not bothering to look back.
