After being reprimanded and mocked by MO Zixuan, Zhou Lin’s face changed as she spoke coldly, “It’s not impossible. As far as I know, when Wen Hongrui moved his family, it was after Wen Ran fell ill. They went to G City, and Wen Ran never returned to F City. There must be some scandalous secret behind this.”

“What did you find out?”

MO Zixuan was shocked, but he didn’t show it on his face. He wore a mocking smile and shot a cold glance at Zhou Lin.

A victorious look appeared on Zhou Lin’s face. She had not been simply loafing around these days. In a bid to step on Wen Ran, she had diligently investigated, “I suspect that Wen Ran is not Wen Hongrui’s biological daughter.”

“Do you have any evidence?”

“Not yet, that’s why I took a few extra days off.”

“Did your father ask you to look into this? Have you told him about these suspicions?”

MO Zixuan wasn’t naive. After Wen Ran’s parents died, he heard rumors of

Zhou Mingfu’s antics. He knew Zhou Mingfu intended to take over the Wen Family, to the extent that he suspected Zhou Mingfu was behind the abduction and nearly assaulting Wen Ran in F City one night.

Besides him, no one else could hate Wen Ran so much.

“Not yet, I only called him a few days ago.”

Zhou Lin said, her eyes flickering.

MO Zixuan squinted, not quite believing her, “Really?”

“Of course, it’s true!”

Zhou Lin lifted her head, staring back into his sharp gaze.

“In that case, consider these days as your leisure time. Nothing happened, and you’re not allowed to share your suspicions with your father, nor continue your investigation. If you can’t do that, don’t blame me! ”

By the end of the sentence, a fierce glint flashed from MO Zixuan’s eyes. Contrasting to his usual cultured demeanor, Zhou Lin couldn’t help but shiver. Subconsciously she asked, “If I keep this secret, will you be willing to marry

MO Zixuan grunted from his nose and stood up from the sofa, leaving her with the words: “Get some rest early, you’re going back to G City with me tomorrow.”

Then, he started walking towards the door.

Zhou Lin also stood up, anxiously asking, “Zixuan, where are you going so late at night? Please stay!”

“I’m staying in the room next to yours. You’re pregnant now, so don’t overthink.”

MO Zixuan stopped and turned to look at Zhou Lin. The bright crystal lamp outlined his handsome features, devoid of his usual sharp aura, back to his usual elegance. Although it was just a casual consolation, it somehow warmed Zhou Lin’s heart.

She obediently nodded, “Ok, I’ll go back with you tomorrow.”

If keeping Wen Ran’s secret could bring her a bit of Zixuan’s sympathy and acceptance, she didn’t mind temporarily letting Wen Ran off the hook.

One weekend afternoon

When Wen Ran arrived at the hospital, she noticed Wen Jin sleeping. Instead of disturbing her, she decided to find Gu Kai.

Gu Kai was examining a patient, and there was a line waiting outside. As Wen Ran had no pressing matters, she decided to wait as well.

She was passing the time playing with her phone when a bright voice rang out from above her, “Miss Wen, Doctor Gu asks you to come in.”

“Ah, okay, thank you!”

Wen Ran looked up to see a young nurse with a pleasant smile watching her. She thanked the nurse and walked inside.

Behind the desk, Gu Kai looked classy in his white coat. His relaxed features adorned with a mild smile, which would surely captivate any woman’s heart. “Truthfully, I could’ve waited for you to finish.”

As Wen Ran said this, she pulled out a chair and sat down in front of the desk.

Gu Kai gave a light smile and took a sip from his teacup before saying, “I just wanted to take advantage of the situation to take a break.”

His words amused Wen Ran. Reminded of the reason she came to see him, she put away her smile and seriously looked at him, asking, “Older Brother Gu, do you already have the results?”

Gently leaning back on his chair, Gu Kai cradled his teacup in his hands. Jokingly, he remarked, “You shouldn’t look so serious; you’re making me nervous.”

Wen Ran offered a strained smile. Though she hadn’t drunk the shark fin soup, the revelation that it was spiked put her into a melancholy mood.

A soft sound announced the opening of the door. Gu Kai turned his gaze towards it to see a nurse carrying a cup of milk. He gave a small smile: “You’ve been waiting for so long, you must be thirsty. Have this cup of milk, and I’ll tell you.”

The nurse placed the milk on the table in front of Wen Ran and silently withdrew.

After taking a few sips and putting the mug down, Gu Kai’s mellow voice echoed again, “The soup contained multiple toxic substances besides musk. Even though the quantities were small, the combined effect could have been…

very serious.”

Wen Ran’s face paled slightly.

If Gu Kai said it was serious, then it must be.

After contemplating for a bit, she asked in a soft voice, “If I drank it, would I not be able to become a mother in my lifetime?

Seeing her furrowed brows and effort to suppress her emotions, Gu Kai’s heart clenched a bit. His handsome features softened as he comforted her, “Ranran, you shouldn’t be sad. You didn’t drink the soup, and the people who should be frustrated are those who tried to harm you.”

Wen Ran pursed her lips. She remembered the insulting assault she almost suffered in F City and how she almost died jumping off a cliff. Yet, she ended up with only minor injuries. For some reason, someone was always there to help her at the pivotal moment.

She truly was fortunate. Right now, those who wanted to harm her must be seething with anger. A smile broke out on her face as her sorrow faded like a cloud. She cheerfully said, “Older Brother Gu, you’re right. I should be glad I didn’t drink that spiked shark fin soup and avoid falling into their trap.”

Influenced by her emotions, a smile found its way onto Gu Kai’s face. He drained his teacup in one gulp, then got up to pour some more water.

After pouring the water and returning to his desk, Gu Kai asked, “Ranran, are you really not planning to tell Xiuchen and your brother about this?”

A hint of hesitation flashed in Wen Ran’s eyes. If she didn’t tell them now, they would be angry when they eventually found out. But if she did, she was worried they would be overly concerned.

“I think it’s better to tell them. Now that it happened once, who’s to say it won’t happen again? Ever since your parents passed away in a car accident last month, there’s been a chain of events.”

Wen Ran turned slightly pale. She opened her mouth to say something but couldn’t bring herself to say it.

Gu Kai stayed silent for a moment, then carefully said, “Even though we haven’t found evidence for these incidents, you should have some idea of what’s going on.”

“I think Zhou Mingfu was behind the kidnapping that night, and Xiao Wenqing was behind the spiked soup.”

Wen Ran earnestly shared her thoughts with Gu Kai..
