Chapter 599: 598 wants a wedding
“Xiuchen, thank you!”
Wen Ran suddenly felt the urge to cry.
She had clearly been his wife for a long time, but she still wanted to wear a wedding dress for him at this time. Before she knew about her health condition, she had a bit of regret, but not such a strong desire.
She had felt that it would be enough as long as she could spend her life with him. Whether she wore a wedding dress or not, whether they held a wedding ceremony or not, none of that mattered. Those things weren’t the means to witness their happiness, but now, she really, really wanted to wear a wedding dress for him.
She truly, truly wanted to.
Especially after seeing those two clay lovers earlier, her desire became even stronger, to the point where she could no longer control it. Finally, she told him about it.
She knew that she was being selfish. If she were to leave him early, all the beautiful memories of the past would become the most painful torment in Mo Xiuchen’s life.
Mo Xiuchen, who had been sitting opposite her, got up and the next second sat next to her. His warm palm held her slightly cool hand, his gaze affectionately fixed on her. His voice gently sounded in her ear, “Ranran, you’re going to be the most beautiful bride in the world.”
“I think so too.”
Wen Ran forcefully resisted her urge to cry, and responded in a deliberately light-hearted manner.
She didn’t care whether she would be the most beautiful bride or not. She just wanted him to see her in a wedding dress. In this life, she would only be Mo Xiuchen’s wife.
**
Because they needed to have tests done the next day, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran didn’t stay out for too long before returning to the hotel.
After Mo Xiuchen put Wen Ran to sleep like coaxing a child, he then opened his laptop, found the best wedding dress shop, and made an appointment.
His eyes shifted toward the bed. Wen Ran was sleeping on her side, facing away from the bed. A slight smile was on her lips. The peaceful and beautiful sleeping face made Mo Xiuchen’s heart soften.
As long as she was happy, no matter what she wanted to do, he would accompany her.
He took out a cigarette, just about to light it, then remembered what Wen Ran had said when he came back to the ward after smoking outside. His action to light the cigarette was immediately halted.
“Xiuchen, don’t smoke so much in the future. It’s bad for your health.”
He pursed his lips and put the cigarette back in the box. After thinking for a bit, he directly threw both the cigarettes and the lighter into the trash can next to him. If Ranran didn’t like him smoking, he would just quit.
After taking a sip of water, he leaned into the sofa, and dialed Wen Jin’s number.
“Hello!”
After a few rings, Wen Jin’s voice finally came from the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
“It’s me. Are you busy right now? I have a favor to ask.”
“What is it?”
Wen Jin asked, his tone calm and gentle. Mo Xiuchen hesitated, then gently said while observing Wen Ran, who was asleep: “Ranran said, she wants to wear a wedding dress once.”
“Ah, are you going to hold a wedding ceremony with Ranran? No problem, have you set a date yet…”
“Wen Jin, I’m not actually asking you to prepare a wedding. I told Ranran, to have you and Ah Kai prepare for the wedding. If the test results tomorrow show that Ranran is fine, then there’s no need to rush the wedding preparation. When she asks, you just tell her that the preparation is underway.”
Mo Xiuchen’s words caused confusion for Wen Jin, “What do you mean? Since you’ve promised Ranran, why are you not preparing the wedding? Mo Xiuchen, don’t tell me that you lied to Ranran, and you don’t actually want to hold a wedding.”
Wen Jin left one sentence unsaid because he felt that saying it would hurt Mo Xiuchen.
But he really didn’t understand what Mo Xiuchen meant. His roundabout ways were making him dizzy.
Since there’s no wedding preparation, why tell him? And why ask him to help deceive Ranran?
“Don’t get so worked up. I have my reasons for doing this. I’ll explain it to you when we get back. When you call Ranran tomorrow, ask her what kind of wedding theme she likes, what ideas she has,” Mo Xiuchen said calmly.
Wen Jin was speechless, but he agreed anyway, although his tone was a bit stiff, “Alright, I promise you. But Mo Xiuchen, if you dare to make Ranran upset, I won’t let you off.”
Mo Xiuchen ignored his warning, said goodbye, and hung up directly.
Wen Jin was cursing at the other end of the phone, “What a prick, hang up after he is done talking, I haven’t even spoken to Ranran yet.”
Mo Xiuchen then called Gu Kai, which was pretty much the same conversation he had with Wen Jin. However, Gu Kai rejected him, “Xiuchen, I won’t cooperate with you. Last time I cooperated with you to keep Ranran in the dark, I already felt guilty about it. Now, you want me to deceive Ranran again. I don’t have your knack for lying. I might spill the secret in three sentences.”
What Gu Kai was referring to was the action of transplanting the virus in Wen Ran’s body to his own. As Wen Ran’s brother, it was natural for him to wish for his sister’s health. But Mo Xiuchen was also like a brother to him, it was impossible for him not to feel distraught.
These days, he didn’t dare to call Wen Ran, for fear that he might accidentally reveal the secret, and also because hearing Ranran’s voice would make him feel guilty and sad.
Mo Xiuchen chuckled lightly, soothing him, “Ah Kai, you’re Ranran’s brother, anything that’s good for her, you should do it without hesitation. If you could exchange your own life for Ranran’s health, would you still say the same?”
His words silenced Gu Kai.
He didn’t say anything more, only after a long silence did Mo Xiuchen continue, “Ah Kai, Dad and Mr. Brown have made a new breakthrough in their research. The reason why I am asking you to deceive Ranran for the time being is to give her a surprise. The preparation for the wedding between me and Ranran doesn’t actually require you or Wen Jin, it’s just because I mentioned it earlier. I’m afraid that if I change my words now, Ranran will have doubts.”
“Bullshit!”
Gu Kai cursed at the phone, somewhat disgruntled.
Mo Xiuchen simply laughed it off, “It doesn’t matter whether ghosts believe me or not, as long as you believe me, that’s enough. I still have to call Ah Feng and Ah Mu to discuss something, so I won’t spend more time talking to you. Go and see your patients.”
“Ah Feng came back to A City with Ah Mu today. I heard that you gave him a task.”
Gu Kai wasn’t ready to let him off that easily. If Mo Xiuchen didn’t want to talk, he would do the talking instead.
Seeing that he didn’t want to hang up, Mo Xiuchen didn’t want to be cursed at again either. Gu Kai may appear gentle and refined, but that was just an impression created by his white lab coat. In reality, he was rebellious.
“Yeah, I asked him to do something. I hope that by the time Lu Zhiyan finds out the results, we would also have some evidence here. If we can directly force Fu Jingyi out, that would be the best.”
“When are you and Ranran coming back?”
Gu Kai didn’t reply to his words, but instead changed the subject.
