Wen Ran slept for a long while.

It wasn’t until her nose started to itch in her sleep that she raised her hand to scratch it.

A deep chuckle echoed above her head. She frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was the handsome face of Mo Xiuchen, his smile captivating and charming.

“Ranran, you finally woke up!”

He smiled happily, a gentle affection filled his deep, entrancing eyes as he looked at the awakened Wen Ran.

Wen Ran looked at the hair strand pinched between his slender fingers, and asked with a gentle frown, “Did you use this to tickle my nose earlier?”

She had wondered why it had felt ticklish in her dream, it turned out he was the culprit. When had this man become so naughty?

Mo Xiuchen chuckled, showing her the strand of hair, his magnetic voice laced with amusement: “Ranran, this is your hair. I couldn’t wake you up, so I plucked one and used it to tickle you.”

He intentionally emphasized the word ‘tickle,’ implying it was her fault for sleeping like a log–she was so asleep that she couldn’t be woken up by shouting.

She blinked in astonishment: “Did you shout for me?” Then, grabbing the strand from his hand, she squinted and leaned towards him, “You should also try the feeling of this hair tickling the inside of your nose.”

“Haha, Ranran!”

Mo Xiuchen laughed heartily, his tall body tilting slightly backward. He grabbed Wen Ran’s small hand, foiling her plan.

Seeing this, Wen Ran pouted unhappily, her beautiful eyebrows scrunched together: “Xiuchen, why don’t you let me tickle your ear, as a fair exchange?”

Her voice was soft and sweet, looking at her coquettish appearance made Mo Xiuchen feel a sense of affection. He laughed again, sighed lightly at her unyielding gaze, and said indulgently, “Alright, let you have your revenge.”

As he finished speaking, he leaned slightly, allowing his ear to be reached by her.

Wen Ran’s face immediately brightened into a brilliant smile. “Xiuchen, you are so nice. I promise to be very gentle.” She winked at him and extended the hair strand towards his ear.

“Ticklish!”

As the strand was inserted into his ear, a tinge of itchiness emerged from Wen Ran’s fingertips. Mo Xiuchen’s tall figure shuddered slightly, a low chuckle emerging from his lips.

Wen Ran was easy to please. She didn’t torment him for too long. Seeing that he couldn’t help but laugh, the resentment she felt from being tickled earlier gradually dissipated. Her entire face lit up into a smile, making her look exceptionally radiant and captivating.

“Ranran!”

After tossing away the hair strand, Mo Xiuchen stopped laughing. His eyes were affectionately fixed on her bright eyes.

“Hmm.”

Wen Ran responded softly, glancing out of the floor-to-ceiling window briefly before turning back to look at him, whispering: “What time is it? Is my father still not back?”

Mo Xiuchen smiled gently: “It’s already 1 o’clock. I tried to wake you up at 12, but you just turned over and continued sleeping again. Your father called and said he went out for lunch with Dr. Brown and told us not to wait for him.”

As he said this, his soft voice faltered a little, an elusive emotion flashed through his deep eyes. Wen Ran happened to blink and missed it.

“Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?”

Mo Xiuchen’s long fingers brushed lightly over the strand of hair that had fallen onto her cheek, tucking it behind her ear. His gaze held a sgentleness that resembled that of still water.

Wen Ran tilted her head and thought for a moment, “How about we go take a walk? I can’t think of anything I’d like to eat at the moment. We can just see what street food they have and grab something.”

Without any hesitation, Mo Xiuchend replied: “Alright, as you wish. Go wash your face.”

Wen Ran jumped off the bed, and headed into the bathroom with light steps. Mo Xiuchen’s gaze followed her until she was out of sight, then only did the smile in his eyes fade.

Gu Yan didn’t call him, but came to the hotel to find him. Obviously, it was not good news.

What he feared the most eventually happened. When he thought of Gu Yan’s words, Mo Xiuchen’s heartache returned, subconsciously clenching his fists.

His eyes, which were full of tenderness just moments ago, now bore unbounded sadness and sorrow. He couldn’t believe the results of the examination.

His Ranran’s condition had worsened drastically in just these few days. From the slight improvements previously to the deteriorating state diagnosed today, even her spleen was showing abnormalities.

In Dr. Brown’s words, this was a disease scarier than cancer.

He couldn’t imagine what a disease worse than cancer would be like.

If it cannot be suppressed, she wouldn’t even be able to live until she was thirty, as Fu Jingyi had told him.

He felt as if his heart was being eaten by insects, every thought about it brought uncontrollable tears to his eyes.

His Ranran was so kind and beautiful. How could heaven be so unfair, allowing her to suffer through a harsh childhood and then to be…

When he first heard the news, Mo Xiuchen froze.

It took him a while to ask Gu Yan, “Why… why did this happen?”

Gu Yan’s eyes flickered, seemingly hesitant to meet his gaze. He looked at the door and said in a heavy tone, “We don’t know yet what caused Ranran’s sudden change.”

Mo Xiuchen squinted, his gaze scrutinizing Gu Yan. After a moment of contemplation, he tentatively asked, “Is it because Ranran and I have been separated?”

“No.”

Gu Yan was quick to refute Mo Xiuchen’s words, which only made him more suspicious that the cause lay right there.

Previously, he had questioned Gu Kai about whether the poison in Ranran’s body could be expelled through him. Although Gu Kai eventually told him, his explanation was rather brief.

Perhaps, he was hiding something from him, or perhaps, Gu Kai himself didn’t know at the time.

These days, Mo Xiuchen had researched lots of information online. Although he wasn’t medically trained, he was very smart and had a good knack for making associations.

Back then, the poison that Fu Jingyi had planted inside Ranran’s body had remained dormant within her due to not being aroused.

However, her union with him had ‘woken’ the poison, and it was even starting to transfer to his own body.

It was for this reason that Ranran decisively wanted a divorce.

Even though he had scared her by pretending to be dead, she agreed not to leave him but was unwilling to be intimate with him.

She would rather have the poison slowly consume her than to see him being hurt.

However, could it be possible that if they no longer had strings attached, the poison would spread rapidly, like a poisonous insect, gradually corroding her…

“Dad, at this point, are you still going to hide it from me?”

Mo Xiuchen’s desperate and anxious eyes caused Gu Yan to struggle with his decision to keep him in the dark. In the end, he had no choice but to reveal their hypothesis to him.
