Chapter 9: She’s Innocent

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Meanwhile, at Gu Kai’s office…

The strong smell of coffee and the subtle fragrance of tea filled the air, quickly permeating the entire office.

On the leather sofa, Gu Kai leaned forward. His slender fingers stroked the edge of his favorite white jade teacup as he stared at the friend who was sitting across with a nonchalant expression. Gu Kai felt incredulous that his friend who scorned the approach of women would actually say that he wasn’t disdainful of Wen Ran.

This news was so shocking that he simply couldn’t believe it.

After a long while, he sighed and confirmed what he had just heard again. “Xiuchen, I think you really don’t dislike Wen Ran. But how do you know if you yourself aren’t disliked? Have you two held hands, kissed, or had sex?”

Mo Xiuchen took a sip of the coffee in front of him. After putting it down, he said coolly, “Everyone in G City knows that I, Mo Xiuchen, am sexually impotent.”

The corners of Gu Kai’s lips twitched, and he pointed out bluntly, “If it weren’t for your help, how could those rumors sound so ‘true’?”

An unfriendly expression flashed through Mo Xiuchen’s eyes. At the time, he must be the one who proliferated the rumors.

Sensing the hostile aura emanating from him, Gu Kai sighed and said with lament, “I originally thought that you wouldn’t have anyone but the little girl from back then. Who knew that you would marry someone else out of the blue. To be honest, I don’t approve of you doing this. Wen Ran is innocent.”


Back then, Mo Xiuchen was really almost…

“When did you become so pesky?”

Mo Xiuchen narrowed his eyes and stared at Gu Kai sharply. The latter felt uncomfortable, so he smiled to disguise his discomfort. “I did so out of my morals as a doctor. I couldn’t stand innocent people being implicated.”

“I was helping her!” Mo Xiuchen defended.

The unfriendly vibe left Mo Xiuchen. Too lazy to explain, he leaned back against the sofa, and after a minute, he added, “She lost her parents all of a sudden, and Mo Zixuan betrayed her when she was at her most helpless state. The Wen Corporation is burdened with internal and external troubles, and she’s a girl who had just walked out of the ivory tower. If no one is there to guard her, she would be devoured any second.”

Mo Xiuchen wasn’t exaggerating. What he said, after all, was true. Wen Ran’s parents died in a car accident. Her brother’s condition was far from stable after protecting her, and he might die any time. Many people had set their vile eyes on the Wen Corporation, and she couldn’t handle them on her own.

Gu Kai frowned, then thought about it and insisted, “But, if you find the little girl from way back, what would you do with Wen Ran?”

Mo Xiuchen’s eyes gleamed with a sullen expression.


His thin lips pursed into a firm straight line. He didn’t see what that little girl looked like. He just remembered that her voice was very pleasant, and she said that she had a mole on her chin.

Not only was he looking for the little girl, but Gu Kai was also looking for her, because his long lost sister also had a mole on her chin.

***

Half an hour later, Wen Ran came out of the intensive care unit with red and swollen eyes.

She looked downcast, but she would not lose hope. If one could see through her, they would find that she was tough and resilient.

Touching her red and swollen eyes, Mo Xiuchen frowned. “Have you been crying all the time you were at your brother’s room?”

If she hadn’t cried for a long time, could her eyes look like this?

Avoiding his sharp eyes, Wen Ran’s eyes flickered, and she said firmly, “No, I was talking to my brother.”

“If you’re just going to be miserable as you are now, then stop coming to the hospital.”

With that said, Mo Xiuchen turned and left.
