Chapter 298: 297 is just my wife.

Translator: 549690339

Wen Ran slept for a full day and night.

When she woke up, it was already late in the afternoon of the third day since the car accident.

In the time Wen Ran was asleep, Bai Xiaoxiao went through another surgery.

The car responsible for the accident had been found, but its driver had disappeared without a trace. The car was reportedly stolen from the owner, who was robbed and left unconscious on a roadside outside the city.

After hesitating for quite a while, the owner disclosed that a beautiful woman had flagged him down in the middle of nowhere. Caught off guard by her allure, he…

He dared to admit this only when his wife was not around.

His car had no dashcam, and the street where the accident occurred was not monitored. The police checked the surveillance footage from the surrounding areas, but could only detect a man, whose face was obscured by a hat and mask in the driver’s seat of the car.

For now, the killer remains at large.

When Wen Ran opened her eyes, the man working at a desk bathed in the light of the setting sun was the first thing she saw. Looking focused on his work, his face was glowing with a thin layer of golden light, making him irresistibly sexy and attractive.

“Mo Xiuchen!”

As she spoke, Wen Ran realized her voice was hoarse.

The man working at the desk immediately looked up at her.

“Ranran, you’re awake!”

His deep eyes lit up with a warm smile. He put down the notebook, walked quickly to the bed, and bent over to grasp her small hand that was peeking out from the blanket. It was as if her palms were only warm when she was asleep.

“What time is it now? It seems like I’ve been sleeping for quite a while,” she said, looking a little dazed and furrowing her brows at Mo Xiuchen.

Mo Xiuchen gave a small smile and sat down on the edge of the bed, “You didn’t sleep at all for two nights, so you were extremely tired. You slept longer than usual, but that’s good. You need to rest a lot to regain your strength.”

“I slept for a whole day,” said Wen Ran, looking at the watch on his wrist. It was already five in the afternoon.

“Not only a day, but a day and a night. It just showed how much you had pushed yourself before,” Mo Xiuchen said, deliberately saddening his face to scold her. She had only noticed the time and not the date.

“A day and a night? How could I have slept so long? Where is Xiaoxiao? Has she woken up? I want to see her.”

With a shock in her eyes followed by regret and self-blame, Wen Ran threw off the blanket and attempted to get out of the bed. However, the next second, Mo Xiuchen pushed her back down.

“Ranran, Xiaoxiao has not yet awakened. There’s no rush.”

Wen Ran lowered her eyes, sadness creeping across her face. “She’s still not awake?”

Mo Xiuchen tightened slightly. He pulled her into a sitting position, then wrapped her in his arms. “Yes. Ah Kai said she should wake up the day after tomorrow.”

Wen Ran pursed her lips and fell silent, overtaken by sorrow.

The grip of Mo Xiuchen’s embrace on her gradually tightened. After a moment, he let her go, creating a little distance between them and gently saying, “You’ve been sleeping for so long and haven’t eaten anything. I’ve asked Little Liu to bring some food.”

“I don’t have an appetite.”

“No, you have to eat.”

Mo Xiuchen made a firm decision, took out his phone to call Little Liu, ordering him to send some food to the hospital immediately.

It was a nutritious porridge prepared by Nanny Zhang. Since Wen Ran had woken up about the time Gu Kai had predicted, Little Liu quickly delivered the porridge.

Mo Xiuchen served some in a bowl and started feeding Wen Ran.

Even though she didn’t feel like eating, under Mo Xiuchen’s serious gaze, she couldn’t help but open her mouth to eat.

“Is it good?”

Seeing her taking in the porridge, tenderness gradually replaced the stern looks on his face, turning the corners of Mo Xiuchen’s lips upwards.

“Yes, it is.”

Wen Ran answered against her will. In reality, she lost her sense of taste, but she forced herself to eat a bit so as not to worry him.

“Well, if it’s good, eat more. This way, you’ll have the energy to take care of Xiaoxiao when she wakes up.”

“Has the perpetrator been caught?”

Wen Ran swallowed the porridge in her mouth and stared intently at Mo Xiuchen.

“The police are still investigating. The perpetrator stole someone else’s car. Even if we can’t catch them, I have a guess about who’s responsible.”

Mo Xiuchen fed her more porridge and gently explained. Other than Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi, no one else came to mind. However, they seemed to have disappeared completely out of the blue.

Uncle Ming’s extensive network could not trace them either.

He even had people monitor every move of Mo Zixuan, hoping to find them through any contact Xiao Wenqing might have with him.

But Mo Zixuan had stayed in his own rented house with no exceptional movement for the past few days.

“We must catch the person who hit Xiaoxiao.”

With a flash of hatred in her eyes, Wen Ran wished to chop the perpetrator into pieces to avenge Xiaoxiao right now.

“Ranran, you don’t need to worry about these things. The police will be able to nab the perpetrator,” said Mo Xiuchen, trying to comfort her. He didn’t want Wen Ran to be filled with hatred, but to live in joy instead. As for the rest, he would handle it himself.

“Who has been taking care of Xiaoxiao these days? Is Aunt Qiao there?”

Wen Ran asked with worry. She longed to go to Xiaoxiao’s ward, but knew that Mo Xiuchen wouldn’t let her leave the room until she finished her porridge.

“She’s been under the care of a special nursing assistant, and Ah Kai. He has also been living in the hospital for the past couple of days, paying special attention to Xiaoxiao’s condition.”

“Older Brother Gu is also staying at the hospital? Can he manage with his many surgeries?” 𝔣𝖗𝔢𝖊𝔴𝖊𝔟𝔫𝔬𝖛𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝔬𝔪

Wen Ran had had half a bowl of porridge and didn’t want to eat more, but Mo Xiuchen continued to feed her patiently, spoon by spoon.

“Director Gu is back, so Ah Kai is having some time off these days. When you were asleep, Director Gu came to see you.”

At Mo Xiuchen’s words, Wen Ran froze.

She even stopped chewing for a moment, a mouthful of porridge left in her mouth. For a moment, she appeared to be in a daze.

“Ranran, you don’t need to feel nervous or burdened. I’ve talked to Uncle Gu. He won’t force you, and you shouldn’t force yourself to accept a new identity either. Just pretend you don’t know anything. You’re still you, Wen Jin’s sister, and my wife.”

Wen Ran’s eyes welled up at his words. She looked down and focused on the blanket, “There have been too many things happening these days, and I can’t adapt to it all at once.”

“I know. Let all of this wait until Xiaoxiao recovers. Okay?”

Mo Xiuchen put the bowl on the bedside table and took out a napkin to wipe away the grains of rice on her lips. He looked at Wen Ran, his gaze full of tenderness and compassion.

Director Gu wouldn’t force Wen Ran to do anything either. His most important task right now was to find a cure for her.

“I don’t want to eat anymore!”

Wen Ran glanced at the half bowl of porridge remaining on the table, then looked at Mo Xiuchen, “Why did you bring your work to hospital?”

Mo Xiuchen gave a faint smile, picked up the bowl of porridge and fed himself a spoonful, “I didn’t feel at ease leaving you alone, so I brought my work here.”

“Come on, have one more bite.”

After having a few bites himself, he offered another spoonful of porridge to Wen Ran. They were using the same spoon, but it didn’t feel awkward at all.
