“No need, I’ll go back soon.”

Hearing him suggest that Little Liu should come to pick her up, Wen Ran immediately refused. A nameless emotion stirred in her heart- suddenly, she didn’t want to overly depend on him.

MO Xiuchen didn’t insist, “Alright then, I’ll hang up first. Call me when you get home.”

“Okay!”

Wen Ran replied in a soft voice. During this phone call, it seemed like she and MO Xiuchen had swapped roles. The usually succinct MO Xiuchen had talked more, while she, who usually had a lot to say, didn’t want to speak.

After the call, she suddenly lost her appetite.

Gu Kai noticed the change in her mood. Before she could speak, he called over the waiter, paid the bill, and gently said, “Ranran, let me send you home. Get some rest early. I’ll tell you the results in a couple of days at most.” What he was referring to was the drug composition in the shark’s fin soup.

Wen Ran forced a smile, saying, “Okay!”

Kangning Hospital

In the VIP ward, Cheng Jia woke up slowly.

Upon seeing the upright figure standing by the window, she brightened up, calling out hoarsely, “Young Master MO!”

Hearing the sound, MO Xiuchen turned around. His deep eyes rested on Cheng Jia, whose head was bandaged and face pallid, her only vitality coming from the weak light in her eyes.

As their eyes met, Cheng Jia felt as if she was being pulled into his profound gaze, her heartbeat becoming erratic. Her soft eyes brimmed with affection and her face broke into a feeble smile, “Young Master MO, have you been with me all this time?”

MO Xiuchen’s eyes flickered with undisclosed emotions. He replied, dodging her question, “I’ve spoken to the doctor. If you rest well for a while, you’ll be fine.”

Cheng Jia lightly shook her head, the slight movement seeming to pull at her head wound. A look of pain crossed her face as she whispered, “I’m fine, as long as you’re okay.”

MO Xiuchen’s handsome brows furrowed slightly. If it were any other man, he would surely be moved by a beauty getting hurt for him, but he felt not a ripple in his heart.

Earlier, he had personally visited Cheng Jia’s hometown and found no inconsistencies, but he still couldn’t shake off his intuition that Cheng Jia wasn’t the little girl from years ago.

Later, he asked Qin Mu to investigate Cheng Jia’s father’s lottery win and their life in recent years, and his findings reconfirmed this conclusion.

The day he returned from F City, Qin Mu told him that Mr. Cheng had won the lottery against all odds, and there seemed to be no connection with Xiao Wenqing.

Like many lottery buyers, Mr. Cheng had stuck to the same set of numbers for years before eventually winning the jackpot and becoming rich overnight.

Despite his reluctance to believe that Cheng Jia was the little girl from his past, he found no evidence to prove otherwise. His instincts told him one thing, but logic said another.

Besides, there was the incident of this afternoon…

Seeing him silent, Cheng Jia felt embarrassed. Her pale face gradually reddened as she blinked and hesitantly asked, “Young Master MO, have you eaten dinner, considering you’ve been with me in the hospital all this time?”

“I’ll eat later.”

MO Xiuchen composed himself, his tone neutral.

Cheng Jia pursed her lips, noticing him move a few steps towards the door before stopping, the tall and handsome figure standing a few steps away unwilling to come close. She looked hurt, her voice trailing with sadness, “Then you should go eat. You’ve been working so hard these past few days; there’s no need to stay with me.”

Although she said this, she wished for nothing more than for MO Xiuchen to stay.

MO Xiuchen looked at her and said calmly, “I wanted to notify your parents, but when I called, they said they were abroad and wouldn’t be back for a few days. I’ve arranged for the best special nursing assistant, and there will be 24-hour care. If you feel uncomfortable, be sure to tell the special assistant and the doctor immediately.”

Hearing his words, Cheng Jia’s bright eyes clouded over with melancholy. She lowered her gaze, her face downcast. Biting her lip, she looked pitifully vulnerable.

MO Xiuchen’s eyes held a hint of depth as he paused before adding, “Your injury is because of me. Until your parents arrive, I’ll arrange for someone to bring you food. If you have any requests, you can tell me.”

“Young Master MO, when I pushed you away, I wasn’t expecting any reward.” Cheng Jia suddenly raised her head, looking directly at MO Xiuchen.

Her eyes were clear, tinged with a hint of sadness, stubbornness, and infatuation. It was as if MO Xiuchen’s question about her “requests” was an insult to her dignity.

MO Xiuchen was silent for a few seconds. Considering she had just had surgery and needed rest, he backed down and said, “Alright, we can talk about that when you’re better. You should rest for now. I’ll come and see you tomorrow.”

“Okay!”

Cheng Jia agreed softly, her eyes reluctant to let go.

Ignoring the longing in her eyes, MO Xiuchen left the ward. He closed the door behind him and paused for a second before issuing a command to the approaching special nursing assistant. Then, he strode off.

Mo’s Family

Just as Xiao Wenqing was fantasizing about Wen Ran becoming sterile after drinking the shark’s fin soup, she received a call saying that their plan had been exposed.

Her face changed and she abruptly stood up from the sofa, yelling into the phone, “How could this be exposed? Didn’t you say it was foolproof?”

“I have no idea what happened. It should have been flawless. I’m wondering if you were too enthusiastic towards Wen Ran, which made her suspicious.” The man on the other end of the phone was her old lover, Wu Tianyi.

Xiao Wenqing’s eyes flashed coldly. Her well-maintained face was distorted with anger. Recalling her dinner with Wen Ran at the Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, she was confident that her acting skills were top-notch. She had even deceived Jiang Hui back in the day—there was no way Wen Ran could outmatch her.

“She didn’t suspect anything at the time. She stepped out to take a call and when she came back, she said she had to leave. When I asked her to drink the shark’s fin soup before leaving, she said she would take it to go.” freewebn(o)vel.com

“You let her take it away? Could she have found something and that’s why she took it to go?” The man on the other end of the phone asked discontentedly.

Xiao Wenqing froze. Now that she considered it, it seemed quite possible. She cursed angrily, “Did that little bitch Wen Ran trick me?”

“If she took the shark’s fin soup away, she surely plans to uncover the composition of the drug. Even without evidence, you will be the prime suspect. ”

“What should I do then? I wanted to stealthily destroy MO Xiuchen’s future unnoticed, but I didn’t expect things to be exposed. You absolutely cannot let her find out anything.”

The nervousness in Xiao Wenqing’s heart was evident. Nothing had been going her way recently. She was truly frustrated..
