MO Xiuchen stared at her with deep and edgy eyes, his words leaving no room for Wen Ran to dispute: “Since you’ve not forgotten, let’s go!”

Wen Ran’s brows furrowed tightly as she instinctively explained: “Can we just wait a little longer? I’ve just called Xiaoxiao and Sister Li. They’re on their way to the hospital. It wouldn’t be nice if I leave now.”

“Hmm!”

Meeting her clear eyes, MO Xiuchen found that he couldn’t reject her request.

He pressed his thin lips together, and in a chilly tone, said: “Wait here. I’ll have Nanny Zhang make some soup and send it over. Meet me in Gu Kai’s office later or give me a call.”

After saying that, MO Xiuchen turned and left.

Wen Ran wanted to tell him there was no need to bother Nanny Zhang, but he walked away too quickly, leaving her with no chance to refuse. She frowned, deciding to drop the matter.

Bai Xiaoxiao and Li Qian arrived at the hospital at the same time, heading upstairs together.

“Ranran, you said Brother Jin woke up right? Why don’t you keep him company inside instead of standing out here?”

Bai Xiaoxiao asked with an excited facial expression, while Li Qian watched her with a smile.

Wen Ran’s eyes were filled with joy that she couldn’t hide. The mention of her brother instantly made her cheerful, and she spoke with a light tone: “Yes, my brother really woke up. But he said he was tired and wanted to sleep some more, so I came out.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s smile turned into frustration: “Oh no, it looks like Sister Li and I arrived too late. Since Brother Jin is asleep, we shouldn’t disturb him anymore. I’ll call my mom right now and tell her to make some soup for Brother Jin to drink when he wakes up tonight.”

Li Qian smiled and suggested: “Or, I could call Chef Chen and have him send something over.”

“No need, not at all. MO Xiuchen has already called to have Nanny Zhang prepare some soup. Xiaoxiao, Sister Li, you don’t have to go through any trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao’s smile returned, now with a hint of tease as well: “Ranran, it seems like your MO Xiuchen is treating you better and better.

Are you going to do everything he says from now on?”

Wen Ran gave her a glare and softly said: “My brother’s recovery was also thanks to him.”

“I don’t understand, what does MO Xiuchen have to do with Brother Jin’s recovery? Don’t tell me you’re so enchanted by him that you think he’s omnipotent?”

“Shh! Don’t wake my brother up.”

Wen Ran put her index finger to her lips, signaling for silence. After glancing in the direction of her brother’s room, she recounted what MO Xiuchen had said to Bai Xiaoxiao and Li Qian.

Li Qian uttered her thoughts with a gentle smile: “Ranran, it’s not impossible that your brother woke up due to the stimulation he got. Regardless, the fact that he could wake up is a good thing. Nothing else matters. Don’t blame MO Xiuchen for that anymore.”

Upon mentioning MO Xiuchen, Wen Ran thought about the dinner at the MO residence that night. She turned to Li Qian and Bai Xiaoxiao: “Xiaoxiao, Sister Li, who is free tonight? Can one of you take care of my brother here for me? Today is MO Xiuchen’s birthday, and he promised his dad a couple of days ago that he would go home for dinner.”

“I’ll stay. I don’t have anything to do these days anyway.”

Bai Xiaoxiao volunteered enthusiastically. She had been looking for something to do.

“Alright, since Xiaoxiao is willing to stay, I won’t insist.”

After Li Qian finished speaking, she turned to Wen Ran: “Ranran, if you’re going to the MO residence for dinner, you should go. Don’t keep MO Xiuchen waiting. ”

Wen Ran nodded. After thanking Bai Xiaoxiao and Li Qian, she left.

‘Why?”

Wen Ran looked at MO Xiuchen in confusion. After she had found someone to look after her brother, he surprisingly said that he wouldn’t go home for dinner tonight.

He insisted that she accompany her brother in the hospital.

MO Xiuchen’s narrow eyes swept over her questioning face, and he swiftly changed the topic, “First, fasten your seat belt.”

Wen Ran pursed her lips and fastened her seat belt, bowing her head.

“Your brother just woke up today. I know you must be excited, and even if you came home to the MO family house with me, your mind would still be at the hospital. It’s better if we postpone our visit.”

MO Xiuchen explained leisurely. As Wen Ran buckled her seat belt and looked up at him, she said: “You promised to go home for dinner a couple of days ago, but now you suddenly refuse to go. Is that okay?”

Upon hearing her words, MO Xiuchen’s handsome face turned cold: “It only matters whether or not I want to do it, not whether it’s ‘okay’ or not.”

Ever since his mother’s death, that place was no longer his home. He usually wouldn’t return for half a year. The reason he agreed to dinner that day was because MO Zixuan entered the office earlier…

“What about Cheng Jia, isn’t she going too?”

Wen Ran asked hesitantly. Seeing his sudden change of expression, she guessed it was probably due to his mother’s death.

“I didn’t invite her!”

MO Xiuchen dismissively said. When Xiao Wenqing invited Cheng Jia to dinner at the MO residence, she specifically chose his birthday and the anniversary of his mother’s death to do so. She had never had good intentions.

“Shouldn’t you call home to let them know then?”

“There’s no need!”

After MO Xiuchen coldly uttered the two words, he lowered his head and started the car.

Just as the Aston drove into the garage, MO Xiuchen’s phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, a chill flashed in MO Xiuchen’s eyes, and a frosty look fell over his face: “Hello!”

“Xiuchen, when are you and Wen Ran going to arrive? We’re only waiting for the two of you now.”

When MO Jingteng’s voice echoed from the phone, Wen Ran looked at MO Xiuchen in surprise.

He had put the call on speaker!

“We’re not going!”

MO Xiuchen’s indifferent tone didn’t feel like he was talking to family but rather to a stranger.

“Why, you promised earlier didn’t you? Aunt Xiao specially instructed the kitchen to prepare dishes you love, and even ordered a cake…”

“You’re mistaken, today isn’t my birthday, it’s my mother’s memorial day. Wen Ran and I are going to the cemetery to pay our respects.”

MO Jingteng’s words clearly ignited MO Xiuchen’s anger. As he let out an abruptly risen and stern voice, Wen Ran was startled.

On the other end of the phone, MO Jingteng stayed silent for a while, likely out of guilt. When he spoke again, his voice was no longer authoritative, but saddled with old age and indescribable emotions: “Then, will you two come back after visiting your mother’s grave?”

“Xiuchen, even if you’re not considering yourself, don’t you want to consider Wen Ran? She married you, but without entering the MO family home, she wouldn’t be considered the true ‘Young Mistress of the MO Family’.”

In these past days, MO Jingteng had noticed his son’s affection for Wen Ran. Even the life-saving heroine he found, Cheng Jia, couldn’t compare to her!

Clearly tonight was meant to express thanks to Cheng Jia, but he instead ditched her.

MO Xiuchen grunted coldly. Just as he was about to refuse, MO Jingteng added: “Tonight, I’m planning on finalizing Zixuan’s marriage to Zhou Lin. You and Wen Ran have already received your certificate, but haven’t had a wedding ceremony. If you come back, we can discuss the preparations for your wedding….”
