“Speaking of the CEO, do you remember Assistant Cheng Jia who used to be Assistant Qin’s? I heard from the PR department that she and the CEO have quite a unique relationship!”

There was a teasing tone in the voice of Staff B.

She had also heard it from someone in the PR department recently.

Staff A stared at her and lowered her voice, “Don’t talk nonsense, the CEO and his lady wife are inseparable. Besides, our CEO isn’t fickle. If he had feelings for Cheng Jia, why would he have let her go to the PR department, and let his lady wife be by his side?”

Staff B smirked ambiguously but her laughter was suggestive, “Who knows, maybe the CEO’s wife discovered something. As a cover-up, the CEO kept Cheng Jia at arm’s distance. The expensive necklace around Cheng Jia’s neck was a gift from the CEO. Moreover, in terms of experience, Cheng Jia wasn’t qualified for this training, but in the end, she was among those who went.”

Wen Ran didn’t intend to interrupt the two female colleagues who were gossiping, but her phone suddenly rang.

Upon hearing the ringing of the phone from a cubicle, the two female colleagues were startled, each muttering a few words before quickly leaving the restroom.

“Hello?”

When it was quiet outside, Wen Ran pressed the answer button and came out of the cubicle.

“Ranran, where’d you go?”

The worried sound of Mo Xiuchen’s deep voice reached Wen Ran, causing her to be startled. She laughed and explained, “I was in the restroom downstairs. Did you come looking for me?”

“Yes!”

That slightly frustrated response made Wen Ran’s heart clench. “I’ll be up in a second.”

Just now, a cleaning lady had been sweeping the corridor, so Wen Ran had gone downstairs. Because of this, she overheard some gossip that had to do with her.

Wen Ran went upstairs through the stairwell where Mo Xiuchen was leaning by the railing. His eyes looked at her tenderly. The semi-darkness of the stairwell made it hard for her to see his expression, but she could feel his anxiety and concern.

“I waited for quite a while and you didn’t come back, so I went to look for you.”

Mo Xiuchen waited for her to reach the top step before taking her hand, speaking in a gentle tone.

Wen Ran gave him a light smile, explained why she had gone downstairs and then asked, “Has Luo Haofeng left?”

Hand in hand with her, Mo Xiuchen headed for their office, “Gu Kai called. Bai Xiaoxiao’s mother invited him for dinner. From his tone, it seemed that she wants to find a boyfriend for Bai Xiaoxiao. He wanted to remind Ah Feng that if he has feelings for Bai Xiaoxiao, he should work hard to please his future mother-in-law.”

Wen Ran blinked in surprise.

Aunt Qiao inviting Older Brother Gu for dinner? Could it be that Aunt Qiao has her sights set on Older Brother Gu and wants him to be Xiaoxiao’s boyfriend?

Seeing her surprise, Mo Xiuchen let out a low laugh, “Yes, just as you’re thinking, Ah Feng says he has no interest in Bai Xiaoxiao. Humoring her and making her happy are just for your sake.”

“Really?”

Wen Ran furrowed her brow, “Why would he say that? Did Xiaoxiao say something?”

“If you want to know the details, you should ask Ah Kai. Just now, Ah Kai called me again and asked us to join them for dinner.”

Since Luo Haofeng is not going and Gu Kai doesn’t want to face Mr. Bai and Mother Bai alone, he naturally wanted to use Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran as shields.

“Sure, we don’t have anything else to do tonight. Xiaoxiao has been in the hospital for quite some time now. She should be able to get some fresh air too.”

Wen Ran’s gorgeous face broke into a smile.

“Yes, she should be able to.”

The restaurant Mr. Bai had booked was not far from Kangning Hospital, for the convenience of Xiaoxiao.

It was just a few minutes’ walk from the hospital.

Although it was dark, there was no rain that day. Bai Xiaoxiao wanted to breathe in some fresh air, so the group decided to walk to the restaurant.

Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen were walking ahead with Mr. Bai, while Mother Bai and Wen Ran pushed Xiaoxiao in her wheelchair a few steps behind.

The three men in front were chatting and laughing.

Their conversation was full of typical men’s topics.

Mother Bai was listening to their discussion, her eyes sparkling with laughter.

She subtly nudged Wen Ran, who was standing beside her.

Wen Ran, who was originally watching Mo Xiuchen’s back, turned to look at Mother Bai.

“Ranran, I want to ask you something.”

Mother Bai deliberately lowered her voice, her tone was mysterious.

Sitting in her wheelchair, Bai Xiaoxiao turned around, “Mom, stop talking nonsense.”

Mother Bai ignored her and continued, “Ranran, are you and Gu Kai close?”

Wen Ran smiled slightly, glanced at Bai Xiaoxiao, and answered with a question, “Auntie, what do you want to ask?”

“I personally quite like Gu Kai. He has also been especially caring for Xiaoxiao these days. I know it’s all because of you. But if Xiaoxiao and Gu Kai could further develop their relationship…”

Mother Bai’s words trailed off under Bai Xiaoxiao’s fierce stare.

“Auntie, Older Brother Gu is only interested in surgeries and patients, not women.”

Wen Ran saw the look in Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes and lowered her voice just like Mother Bai did.

“Ranran, are you implying that Gu Kai, he…?”

Mother Bai stared wide-eyed in shock.

Then she looked at Gu Kai who was in front. He was as tall and handsome as Mo Xiuchen.

Just from the back view alone, countless women would be fascinated.

But from Ranran’s words, Gu Kai is not interested in women, not interested.

These three words spun around Mother Bai’s head, translating to Gu Kai has a questionable sexual orientation.

Wen Ran could only smile apologetically.

When Mother Bai turned to look at her again, her eyes were still looking ahead. Her lips were slightly pursed, and the smile had faded from her face.

Under the dim light, there seemed to be a faint regret.

“If that’s the case, it’s quite a pity.”

Mother Bai genuinely felt it was an immense pity.

“Mom, I told you, don’t daydream. If you’re really bored, let my dad sign you up for a travel group, so you can go have some fun for a while.”

“What fun? You haven’t recovered yet, how can I think about having fun?!”

Mother Bai glared at Bai Xiaoxiao and remained silent.

During dinner, Mother Bai didn’t drop hints to Gu Kai as obviously as she did in the afternoon.

Even though she was very grateful for him saving Xiaoxiao’s life, she no longer had the affectionate gaze of a future mother-in-law.

The dinner went by in a harmonious atmosphere.

After dinner, they took Bai Xiaoxiao back to her room. Wen Ran stayed for a bit and chatted before leaving with Mo Xiuchen.

In the lobby on the ground floor, Gu Kai was waiting. Seeing them approach, his eyebrows lifted slightly to form a warm smile. His gaze swept over Mo Xiuchen and rested on Wen Ran’s pretty face, “Ranran, thank you!”

Wen Ran laughed playfully, “What are you thanking me for?”

Gu Kai laughed as well.

Standing at the side, Mo Xiuchen’s gaze shifted between the brother and sister pair before he realized.

He looked at Wen Ran’s lovely smile, “Ranran, did you help Gu Kai turn down Bai Xiaoxiao’s mother?”

“No, I only told Aunt Qiao that Older Brother Gu is only interested in surgeries and patients, not in women.”

By the end of her sentence, her face was full of innocence as she smiled.
