“I’ll remove the poison for you first, and then take you to the hospital once we get off the mountain,” MO Xiuchen said softly.

“The wound isn’t too deep. A little disinfection and some medication would suffice. We don’t need to go to the hospital.” At this point, it was already late at night and going to the hospital would be quite a bother, Wen Ran reasoned.

Mor Xiuchen’s brows furrowed as his gaze fixated on her wounded cheek and said firmly: “No. we have to go to the hospital. We can’t risk a scar forming on your face.”

Wen Ran didn’t speak, as the pain surged when the iodine-soaked cotton swab made contact with her wound, causing her to subconsciously clench her teeth and furrows her brows.

“Stop biting your lip, you’ve already torn it,” MO Xiuchen—his brows knit—said to her, his eyes filled with concern.

The warmth that spread from his fingertip on her lip startled Wen Ran and she immediately ceased her biting.

No matter how much it hurt afterwards, she didn’t dare to bite her lip again, instead enduring the pain in silence. MO Xiuchen’s movements were as gentle as possible. While he wasn’t a doctor, his constant associating with the talented doctor Gu Kai made him proficient in basic wound dressing.

About ten minutes later, Wen Ran’s injuries were treated. As he packed up the first aid kit and prepared to start the car, Wen Ran whispered, “Does my brother know what happened tonight?”

MO Xiuchen had just laid his hands on the steering wheel when he caught her question. Turning to glance at her, he gently explained, “Bai Xiaoxiao found your phone and gave it to me. Your brother called while I was on my way up the mountains. I told him you had gone to sleep. It’s quite late now so it might not be appropriate to call him. Let’s wait until tomorrow morning.”

“My brother called looking for me?” Wen Ran’s eyes widened in surprise, staring blankly at MO Xiuchen.

MO Xiuchen nodded, giving a soft “Mm”, and then suggested, “If you’re worried, I can call Ah Kai and he can check on your brother’s situation.”

After contemplating, Wen Ran spoke, “No need, I’ll call him tomorrow.”

“Fine!” MO Xiuchen offered a gentle laugh, righted himself, and drove off.

During the descent from the mountain, MO Xiuchen maintained a moderate speed. Despite the winding mountain roads and areas with uneven surfaces, his good driving skills made the ride feel surprisingly smooth for Wen Ran.

Unlike the fear and desperation of a few hours ago, in this very moment he was close at hand. They had just shared the most intimate moments on top of the mountain. As she spent the entire journey gazing at him, her heart unexpectedly began to fill with strands of unfamiliar emotion.

“If you feel tired, just take a nap. I’ll wake you up when we reach the hospital.”

Whenever MO Xiuchen glanced at Wen Ran through the rearview mirror, she

was always in the same position, her eyes warmly and gently fixed on him.

While she had been striving to fulfill her role as a wife since their marriage, she never before looked at him so tenderly, with an eye filled with such affection as it did now.

This fact, MO Xiuchen understood too well.

Unable to resist, he smiled as the edges of his mouth curved upward. His cold, stern features softened a little in the dim car light, making him look as gentle as jade.

Upon meeting his gaze, Wen Ran’s heart unexpectedly skipped a beat. She bashfully lowered her eyes and whispered, “I’m not sleepy.”

She wasn’t sure how far they still had to go. She was afraid that if she fell asleep, MO Xiuchen, who was all on his own, might also get tired. So, she decided to silently accompany him instead.

“We can start speeding up a little bit now. In about ten minutes or so, we’ll be in the city area.”

Reading Wen Ran’s thoughts, MO Xiuchen felt a warmth in his heart. He spoke these words gently.

Wen Ran turned her head to look out the window. At this wee hour, there were few vehicles on the road, and the road wasn’t winding like the mountain road. Naturally, there was no need to maintain the slow speed. She turned her gaze back to MO Xiuchen and asked, “How’d you find me on the mountain?”

The kidnappers had been following her since she entered the restaurant.

Although she had anticipated their alternative plans when their initial one fell through, she had not expected that a phone call would give them their chance.

When she brought it up, an unseen chill briefly flashed across MO Xiuchen’s face. Looking at her, his eyes deep and warm, he said, “We already had found the guy who called you last night shortly after your phone call. We just didn’t think that they would act so quickly to abduct you.”

MO Xiuchen’s gaze grew intense as he thought back to the moment when Luo Haofeng called him to inform that she had been kidnapped. His heart felt as though it was being brutally seized in a fist. The feeling was terrible.

On the mountaintop, when one of the kidnappers told him that Wen Ran had jumped off a cliff while attempting to escape, it felt as if his heart had stopped beating. An unprecedented panic had engulfed him.

His only wish was that she was still alive.

Then, hearing her voice and seeing her hanging from a tree a few meters away from the cliff, he was both relieved and terrified, afraid that she would lose her grip and fall at any moment.

While they held and kissed each other passionately in the car, he became even more certain about one thing: he would never let her go. Not in this life.

He paused for a few seconds before continuing, “Originally, Ah Feng had asked me whether we should call the police. But I was afraid that the police might take too long to find you, so I instead asked for a favor from Uncle Ming, who is both prominent and well-connected in F City. He knows how to handle a lot of things really well. Because of him, we were able to track down those people.

But, I never expected that I would still be one step late.”

As he uttered these last words, a subtle note of self-blame crept into MO Xiuchen’s deep voice. Wen Ran was his wife. He had an obligation and responsibility to protect her from harm.

Wen Ran, too, detected his self-blame, and she felt a warmth surge through her. She softly said, “No, you weren’t late.”

That he was able to rush over in such a short time was already beyond her expectations. Originally, she had resolved to die. If MO Xiuchen hadn’t come to rescue her, she would have died for sure.

MO Xiuchen pursed his lips, turning again to look at her, he began with his deep voice, “Ranran, can you promise me something?”

With her eyes flickering, Wen Ran let her gaze fix on his hand—that held the steering wheel—and asked softly, “What is it?”

MO Xiuchen gave her a glance and then directed his gaze to the road ahead. His side face that remained, was both handsome and perfect, his thin lips firmly closed, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly. He exuded an air of elegance and charm, making him irresistible.

“No matter what happens in future, you mustn’t give up on your life so easily!”

His voice was very low, yet it was charged with an emotion that Wen Ran found unfamiliar. A surge of amazement coursed through her, causing her heart to tighten.

On that fateful night, she would rather lose her life than allow herself to be violated..
