Chapter 123 - 123: 122 Besides me, you don ‘t need to care about anyone else

In the silent office, a hint of warmth mixed with ambiguity spread in the air, turning the originally subtle atmosphere a touch complicated. For a moment, time seemed to have frozen in this ambiguous moment…

MO Xiuchen slowed down his movements, not wanting to end this heart-stirring moment too quickly. Wen Ran slightly tilted her body, and even when he was combing her hair, his gaze never left her face. Every extra second he spent with her made his affection for her grow deeper.

This inexplicable emotion, this inexplicable affection, seemed like something predestined from a past life. In the past twenty-eight years, he had encountered all types of beauties of every shape and size. Even though everyone in G City knew of his impotence, the number of women who threw themselves at him was still countless.

However, there had never been a woman who took his heart at first sight, until he saw Wen Ran, and that feeling was just like the feeling he had towards the girl he spent only a few minutes with more than a decade ago.

Lost in his thoughts, he accidentally tugged at Wen Ran’s hair a bit too roughly. She let out a soft gasp of pain, pulling him back to reality. A hint of apology flashed in his eyes, “I’m sorry, I hurt you!”

Wen Ran raised her head and looked into his deep eyes, smiling as she said, “Don’t worry, it’s done now. I’ll tie it up myself.”

“No need, it looks good like this.”

MO Xiuchen hid his feelings, his lips curving into a tender smile.

“Okay!”

Wen Ran obediently agreed. His alluring smile made it impossible for her to refuse.

“What fruits does Cheng Jia like? We should buy some on our way,” Wen Ran who sat in the passenger’s seat asked as she turned to look at MO Xiuchen while Aston moved at a steady pace along the wide road.

MO Xiuchen, who was focusing on the road ahead, casually replied when he heard her, “I’m not sure. Just get whatever fruit basket you like.”

Wen Ran laughed lightly, playfully saying, “Alright. Since you said that, I’ll just randomly pick one. Don’t blame me if she doesn’t like it.”

MO Xiuchen turned his head, his deep eyes meeting hers, his voice sounding very calm and serious, “Apart from me, you don’t need to put your heart into anyone else.”

What he meant was that it was already enough that she was willing to visit Cheng Jia.

If she didn’t want to go, he wouldn’t force her.

He was angry last night because he felt that she didn’t care about him. He hoped that his efforts would receive an equal return from her. Whether his possessiveness was seen as domineering or selfish, he didn’t want to be the only one giving his all in the relationship.

Wen Ran’s heart trembled slightly, she thought she vaguely understood what he meant, but she wasn’t quite sure. Afraid of misunderstanding him, she remained silent for a moment without responding.

MO Xiuchen didn’t expect a reply either. As the car made a left turn at the traffic lights and entered the next lane, he changed the subject, his voice warmed as he said, “Yesterday afternoon, I passed by the construction site of the Commercial Trade Building together with Engineer Xia, who’s in charge of the project. Suddenly, a brick fell from the building overhead. Cheng Jia was walking behind us and if she hadn’t pushed me away, I would’ve been hit by that brick…”

Wen Ran listened quietly, without interrupting.

Last night, he had briefly mentioned over the phone that Cheng Jia got injured for him, but he didn’t elaborate on what happened. When they got home, he didn’t explain the details either.

Since Gu Kai had already told her about it, she didn’t bother to ask. However, she didn’t expect that he would take the initiative to explain.

After narrating the entire incident to Wen Ran, seeing her frown and the concern in her eyes, MO Xiuchen’s heart was warmed. He took one hand off the steering wheel, reached over, held her hand in his, and added softly, “I kept Cheng Jia by my side not because I’m interested in her, but because I want to investigate certain things.”

There was a hint of surprise in Wen Ran’s clear bright eyes. The warmth from his big hand entered her heart through her palm, causing a warmth to flow inside her heart. As she looked into his affectionate and gentle eyes, she momentarily felt her heart skip a beat, she looked away from him and whispered, “I know you’re not that kind of person.”

When she sees him being kind to other women, she feels uncomfortable. This discomfort has nothing to do with whether he has an ambiguous relationship with them; her emotions have slowly changed since she started spending time with him.

However, she wasn’t sure whether this change was good or bad.

Liking someone wasn’t hard; what she feared was not being able to love them for a lifetime. If he fell in love with another woman one day and asked for a divorce, she would be heartbroken.

Having witnessed Bai Xiaoxiao’s pain caused by love and after experiencing MO Zixuan’s ‘betrayal’, Wen Ran had become extremely cautious about love.

Moreover, Cheng Jia had saved MO Xiuchen’s life, and he had spent more than ten years looking for her. It was obvious that she held an important position in his heart.

Upon reaching the hospital, MO Xiuchen parked the car. He and Wen Ran bought a fruit basket from a nearby fruit shop. With one hand holding the fruit basket and the other holding Wen Ran’s hand, they entered the hospital.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman. MO Xiuchen had quite a few admirers at Kangning Hospital too. As the two stepped into the lobby, they attracted numerous eyes. Wen Ran, feeling slightly embarrassed, tried to retrieve her hand from his, but the man beside her tightened his grip, preventing her from pulling away.

She raised her head, and MO Xiuchen also looked at her. Their eyes met and he smiled faintly, whispering in her ear, “I’m doing this to help you.”

Wen Ran blinked in confusion, not understanding how him holding her hand was helping her?

Her puzzled expression amused MO Xiuchen, he kindly added, “This hospital has many women who are infatuated with your husband. Don’t forget what I told you last night.’

Wen Ran’s eyes widened in understanding, her heart was thrown into turmoil by his words.

Stepping out of the elevator, MO Xiuchen was still holding Wen Ran’s hand. They walked side by side to Cheng Jia’s ward. The floor she was located on was just below where Wen Jin was staying.

Just as MO Xiuchen was about to open the door, the door to the ward suddenly opened from the inside. The special nurse appeared surprised to see MO

Xiuchen and then greeted him with a smile, “Young Master MO, you’re here!” “Hmm,” was his short reply.

MO Xiuchen nodded slightly, to which the special nurse immediately stepped back and moved aside to make way for them.

In the hospital bed, upon hearing the sounds, Cheng Jia instantly turned her head towards the door. When her gaze fell on the handsome man standing at the entrance, her eyes instantly lit up. From her angle, Wen Ran who was standing beside MO Xiuchen, was blocked by the special nurse.

All her attention was on MO Xiuchen’s handsome face. She didn’t initially notice Wen Ran.

However, her joy was abruptly shattered by the special nurse’s exclamation, “Young Master MO, Miss Wen, please come in!”

Wen Jin had been in the hospital for a month and Young Master Gu had been particularly caring towards Wen Ran. Even if she didn’t know MO Xiuchen, this special nurse recognized Wen Ran.

Cheng Jia’s gaze finally left MO Xiuchen’s face and noticed that the girl who entered the room with him was Wen Ran. What made her feel most disturbed and upset was that MO Xiuchen was actually holding Wen Ran’s hand..
