Chapter 508: 507 He is afraid he will miss you

“Do you also hope that I divorce Ranran?”

Mo Xiuchen looked sharply at Gu Kai, whose face was composed, with warm eyes, showing no signs of anomaly.

Next to them, Qin Mu was also stunned by Gu Kai’s words. His attractive brows slightly furrowed as he looked at him in confusion.

“Yes!”

Gu Kai’s answer was calm.

A simple ‘yes’ turned Mo Xiuchen’s handsome face instantly pale. After a moment, he asked word by word: “Has Ranran’s condition worsened since before?”

Other than this reason, he couldn’t think of any other that would make Gu Kai suddenly change his mind. Just two days ago, Gu Kai said that he didn’t want him to divorce Wen Ran.

As Wen Ran’s brother, knowing full well that she loved him, Mo Xiuchen, how could he utter such words? Did he naively believe that she would be happier if they divorced?

“As I mentioned earlier, Ranran’s condition has improved. If it was worse than before, I wouldn’t have allowed you more time with her. Xiuchen, I hope Ranran can recover completely and live healthily and happily. You being by her side puts too much pressure on her.”

Gu Kai frowned, patiently explaining.

“I won’t agree!”

Mo Xiuchen’s statement was very firm, unless he died, he would never leave Wen Ran.

The expression on Gu Kai’s handsome face changed, anger emerging: “Why are you so stubborn? Do you want to push Ranran to death or do you wish that Ranran ends up like my mom, dying of depression?”

“Ah Kai, that’s too serious!”

Qin Mu blurted out to stop him.

Mo Xiuchen’s face turned even paler than before, Gu Kai’s words were like a knife straight to his heart.

His mother died early from day and night longing for her daughter.

“I’m not being too serious, I am stating facts. I’ve thought about it for a few days and decided to support Ranran’s decision. Xiuchen, I told you the other night that Ranran is my sister. Between you and her, I selfishly hope that you can take care of her.”

“But it’s different now, your presence only brings her sadness. If you could unreservedly accept her terms maybe, she could be happy – she could peacefully accept treatment. I’m not asking you to find another woman. You can wait for her, wait for her to recover, and then come back to you.”

Mo Xiuchen’s face was extremely pale.

He was shrouded in thick sadness, Gu Kai’s words were reasonable, but he couldn’t muster the heart to follow it.

The atmosphere in the office was somewhat stagnant.

Seeing that Mo Xiuchen remained silent and did not agree, Gu Kai also stopped talking, just quietly looking at him.

It felt like a very long time before Mo Xiuchen finally spoke up. His low voice carried the pain he was desperately repressing, but couldn’t: “Did Ranran send you here?”

Gu Kai was slightly surprised, his eyes flickered, he denied, “No.”

“Does…does Dad think the same too?”

He fell silent for a moment, then asked.

Gu Kai nodded, “I told my father about Ranran’s thoughts, considering Ranran’s illness, he also thinks that if Ranran can calmly accept treatment after divorcing you, it might not be a bad thing.”

It meant that apart from him insisting on staying, they all hoped he and Wen Ran would divorce.

“Wen Ran, do you have time now, I have something to tell you…”

Receiving a call from Qin Mu was somewhat unexpected to Wen Ran.

“Okay, I’ll be there in a while.”

Only after some hesitation did Wen Ran agree.

After lunch, Bai Xiaoxiao’s mother felt unwell and went home; at this moment, only Wen Ran was left. Wen Ran told Auntie Li and then went upstairs to put on a coat before going out.

Qin Mu had arranged to meet in a coffee shop near Wen Family’s house, obviously considering her convenience.

Ten minutes later, Wen Ran arrived at the coffee shop. As soon as she walked in, she saw the window seat where Qin Mu was sitting, basking in the sunlight.

Seeing her approaching, he stood up, smiled at her and gestured for her to sit down.

“What would you like to drink?”

Qin Mu glanced at Wen Ran, not sure if it was his imagination, but in just three days, he thought she seemed thinner.

“I would like a cup of hot water, thank you.”

After informing the waiter, Wen Ran looked back at Qin Mu and gently asked, “Is it not busy at the company? You have time to come out.”

“With Xiuchen there, I’m off.”

Qin Mu shrugged, leaned back in his chair, gazing deeply at Wen Ran seated opposite him.

Wen Ran looked at him in surprise, “Off? Has he given you a break? Or are you leaving again?”

“Xiuchen gave me time off, he also gave Ah Feng a break. He said that he’ll take care of all our work himself,” Qin Mu said. His tone was full of emotion, but suppressed.

Wen Ran frowned, “Can he handle it all by himself?”

“Of course he can’t.”

Qin Mu answered quickly. He and Ah Feng weren’t just hanging around, Xiuchen taking on work meant working overtime and constantly being busy. So busy, that, he wouldn’t have time to think about her!

Seeing the empathy in her eyes, Qin Mu’s gaze flickered a bit. He continued, “He’s probably afraid that if he’s idle, he’ll come to bother you. Even if he’s not bothering you, he’ll be thinking about you. So, he gave me and Ah Feng both time off and took all the work himself.”

The waiter brought the hot water, Wen Ran took it and held it in her hand, her eyes fixed on the water in the cup, her lips tightly pursed.

“Wen Ran, Ah Kai went to the company to see Xiuchen at noon.”

Qin Mu saw her with her head down, her hair falling on both sides of her face. He couldn’t see the expression on her face but from her tightly pursed lips, he could guess her mood. His heart tightened as a result.

Upon hearing this, Wen Ran raised her head. There was a touch of surprise in her clear eyes, “What did my brother say to him?”

“He asked Xiuchen to divorce you.”

Qin Mu’s voice was very calm, as if their divorce only concerned the two of them.

Wen Ran’s expression stiffens.

She was taken back by Gu Kai’s action. How could he ask Mo Xiuchen to divorce her? Just yesterday at the hospital, he didn’t agree.

“Wen Ran, Ah Kai said that the result of your examination yesterday was better than before. I have an inappropriate question: if the medicine you took is effective, why must you divorce Xiuchen?”

Wen Ran’s eyes flickered. Her mind was a mess.

“I’ve known Xiuchen for so many years. He’s never been as happy as he was a few months ago and he’s never been as sad as he is now. He considers you more important than himself. For you, not to mention his reputation, he can even give up his life. I believe you can feel this.”

“Wen Ran, if you leave Xiuchen, that’s like pushing him back into his previous solitude. If I were you, even if I couldn’t accompany him till old age, I wouldn’t leave him. Instead, I would cherish every moment together, staying with him to the last second!”

This was the first time she had such a conversation with Qin Mu since she met him, and also the first time he uttered so many words to her.
