Mo Xiuchen turned around and saw a smirk playing on Gu Kai’s face as he walked over towards them with a graceful stride.
His elongated eyes squinted, and with a smile, he said, “If Ranran is coming to the hospital, I couldn’t leave.”
“How did you know we were coming to the hospital?”
Wen Jin stopped in front of them, confusion flickered in Mo Yu’s eyes. Didn’t Bai Xiaoxiao tell them that he went to her house looking for Wen Ran?
“Ha, Ranran and I share a psychic connection. Even if you prevent her from answering my calls, I can still sense she’s in the hospital,” Mo Xiuchen proudly lifted his eyebrows and chuckled. Observing the disgusted look shared between Gu Kai and Wen Jin, his smile deepened, lighting up his handsome face, “Ranran, let’s go inside.”
Wen Ran glanced at him, then at Gu Kai and Wen Jin. She reluctantly followed Mo Xiuchen’s lead.
Gu Kai s shot a questioning glance at Wen Jin, who frowned slightly and said nonchalantly, “I didn’t tell him. When I answered the call, I only said that Ranran went to Bai Xiaoxiao’s house and left her phone at home to charge.”
Gu Kai rolled his eyes in boredom. Mo Xiuchen was too difficult to deceive.
Mo Xiuchen walked ahead, holding Wen Ran’s hand. Upon entering the hospital door, he turned around and said to Gu Kai and Wen Jin, who were a few steps behind, “Hurry up, don’t dawdle.”
Gu Kai’s face changed slightly. He was too lethargic to deal with Mo Xiuchen, so he mildly replied, “I still have rounds to make in the ward. Feel free to do as you wish.”
“Ah Kai, didn’t you bring Ranran here to introduce your girlfriend?”
Mo Xiuchen leisurely halted Gu Kai who was walking away. The lobby was filled with nurses, patients, and family members. Although it wasn’t crowded, there were definitely more than twenty people.
His voice was at the perfect volume for everyone to hear.
Instantly, all eyes were on Gu Kai. There were expressions of surprise, questioning, and some even laughed.
Gu Kai’s handsome face twisted, grinding his teeth, he walked back to Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran. Without looking at Mo Xiuchen, he looked at Wen Ran and suggested gently, “Ranran, I know many eligible bachelors. How about you reconsider. Maybe we should find you a new husband?”
“You’re asking for it!”
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed, a penetrating gaze shot towards Gu Kai.
Wen Ran watched them amusingly. “Older Brother Gu, you should go to your rounds promptly. You can’t afford to be scruffy at work or you’ll receive complaints.”
“Haha, well-said Ranran!”
Mo Xiuchen laughed unabashedly. Gu Kai glared at Wen Ran, “Ranran, how could you side with him?”
Wen Ran winked, “I’m just telling the truth. You are a doctor. Your work saves lives and cannot be neglected. You should get to your rounds.”
“Then tonight…”
“We won’t be eating dinner at your house tonight. Tomorrow night, let’s have the New Year’s Eve dinner at our house. Wen Ran and I will personally cook for everyone.”
Mo Xiuchen declined Gu Kai’s invite on Wen Ran’s behalf. It is their first New Year together after their marriage and he didn’t want anyone to disturb them. However, Wen Ran and Wen Jin’s parents have passed away, and Wen Jin is the only one left while Wen Ran just recognized her relationship with the Gu family.
After much thought, he decided to invite Gu Kai, his son, and Wen Jin to their house for dinner.
“Got it. I won’t come tonight. Tomorrow night, bring dad. You should come, too, Brother.” Wen Ran said, then turned to Wen Jin, “Brother, you should also come to our place tomorrow night. Xiuchen and I will cook.”
“Sure, no problem.”
Wen Jin agreed readily. Being alone, he was rather flexible with his plans.
On New Year’s Eve, Gu Kai finally got a day off from work. After breakfast, he invited Wen Jin to come to Mo Xiuchen’s house. In addition to the two of them, there was an uninvited guest — Luo Haofeng!
“Ah Feng, didn’t you go home?”
Mo Xiuchen looked at the three men that walked in. His gaze shifted from Wen Jin and Gu Kai to rest on Luo Haofeng.
Luo Haofeng shrugged nonchalantly, “It was boring at home. I was worried that you would be short of one person here, so I rushed back. Am I not dedicated?”
Mo Xiuchen twitched the corner of his mouth and stepped aside to let them in.
Wen Ran was in the kitchen with Nanny Zhang, asking about some meal preparations. Hearing the voices, she emerged from the kitchen with wet hands.
Like Mo Xiuchen, she wasn’t surprised that Gu Kai and Wen Jin arrived early. However, she was astonished to see Luo Haofeng, who was supposed to be home for New Year, suddenly appear in their house, “Luo Haofeng, didn’t you go home for New Year? Why are you here?”
“What’s so good about New Year? As soon as I went home, my mom started suggesting potential matches for me. It’s better to come here and mooch off your dinner. Just provide me with an extra pair of chopsticks,” Luo Haofeng responded nonchalantly.
“Won’t your mother be sad?”
Wen Ran frowned slightly.
“Don’t worry, she won’t be. None of you who are deeply in love would understand the bitter hardship of us single men being forced into a blind date, right? Isn’t it, Ah Kai, Ah Jin!”
“I was not forced into a blind date.”
Wen Jin denied ruthlessly. Gu Kai laughed and said also, “I was also never forced into a blind date. All this while, among us, only you and Ah Mu were being compelled into blind dates. Since Ah Mu has already gone for it, it’s about time for you. It’s quite normal.”
Luo Haofeng regarded the two heartless men in silence and snorted, marching straight to the sofa and picking some sunflower seeds from the fruit plate to eat.
“Since we have enough people and nothing to do, let’s get started then. Today, let’s play something big.” Gu Kai suggested they might as well play mahjong when he saw Luo HaoFeng leisurely snacking on sunflower seeds.
At Mo’s mansion
After pondering for several days, Mo Zixuan decided not to reveal Wen Ran’s identity to Xiao Wenqing.
That day, he asked Xiao Wenqing where she was hiding, and she later returned his call, telling him she’d reveal her location once she learned about Wen Ran’s background.
These days he wondered whether he should collaborate with Xiao Wenqing to wrest the conglomerate and Wen Ran from Mo Xiuchen; but he couldn’t guarantee whether they would fall into the hands of Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi after seizing them.
Or he could stand on the ‘righteous’ side as Mo Xiuchen suggested, exposing Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi, and make them face the judgment of the law. This way, he wouldn’t disgrace his surname as a descendant of the Mo family.
He took a deep puff from his cigarette, stubbed it out and tossed it into the ashtray. He then dialed Mo Xiuchen’s number.
In a villa in the suburbs, Mo Xiuchen, Luo Haofeng, Gu Kai, and Wen Jin had just picked up their cards when alerted by the vibrating phone. Wen Ran, who was sitting next to him, reached into his pocket to retrieve the phone and looked surprised, “Mo Zixuan is calling you.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiuchen put down his hand of tiles. He took the phone from her while the inquisitive Gu Kai, sitting opposite to him, paused to observe.
