Chapter 319: Are you attracted by 318?

Mo Xiuchen may be abroad, but he calls Wen Ran every day.

Qin Mu rearranged his schedule to drive Wen Ran to and from the hospital every day, starting the following morning.

On Thursday night, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran talked on the phone for over half an hour. Despite her urging him to hang up, he insisted on staying on the line, so she could fall asleep while hearing his voice.

Perhaps due to his voice still on the line, or some other reason, Wen Ran was able to sleep without dreams that night, even without him being there with her.

The dreams that had troubled her for over ten years miraculously vanished.

In the afternoon, as Wen Ran was helping Bai Xiaoxiao get out of bed, Wen Ran received a call from an unfamiliar number. The woman on the line introduced herself as Tong Shishi, asking to meet with Wen Ran.

“What did Tong Shishi want from you? Didn’t she already break up with Little Liu?”

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Wen Ran with surprise.

Wen Ran laughed lightly, “Maybe she only broke up with Little Liu out of anger, thinking Liu would definitely come crawling back.”

Of course, Little Liu wanted to get back with Tong Shishi, after all, he really liked her. At first, Wen Ran even supported him. But once they discovered Tong Shishi’s past and that she was not as innocent as she seemed, she and Mo Xiuchen advised Little Liu to distance himself from her for a while.

They wanted to see what Tong Shishi’s reaction would be. If she really cared about Little Liu, she would definitely make the first move to find him.

Even if it sounds harsh, even if Tong Shishi did not truly like Little Liu and was only with him because he was Mo Xiuchen’s driver, she would eventually seek him out voluntarily.

“Ha, Tong Shishi must have never imagined that Little Liu wouldn’t make a single move to search for her.”

Bai Xiaoxiao burst into laughter.

Wen Ran gave a vague response, pressed her lips together and reflected, “Little Liu recently changed his phone number, it’s normal that she can’t reach him, but how did she get my phone number? Looks like Tong Shishi really can’t let go of Little Liu, I just hope her reluctance isn’t the wrong kind.”

“We’ll find out what kind of reluctance it is soon.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes were shining with excitement. Being cooped up in a hospital room for so long has finally introduced some fun. She felt invigorated, and her mood improved considerably.

Wen Ran looked at Bai Xiaoxiao with amusement, “Xiaoxiao, you’re too excited. Other people might think the person coming is your crush.”

Bai Xiaoxiao shot her a glance and grabbed a pillow to prop up against her back, “Every day, I see your face. Finally, a new face is coming. How can I not be excited?”

“Can I interpret this as you not wanting to see me every day and instead wanting to see some handsome guy? Xiaoxiao, have you fallen for Luo Haofeng?”

Wen Ran looked at Bai Xiaoxiao inquisitively. Though she and Luo Haofeng still have their squabbles and disagreements, it wasn’t as intense as before. Luo Haofeng is not as sharp-tongued as he used to be either.

“You wish! Do you think everyone is like you and Mo Xiuchen?”

Upon hearing Mo Xiuchen’s name, Wen Ran’s smile faded slightly. Her thoughts were consumed by him. He had been on a business trip for a week, and she felt like time was passing incredibly slowly.

It felt as if they had been apart for several months.

In the first two days, she would be the one to end the phone calls. Yet recently, she found herself so reluctant to hang up the phone after their conversations. She wondered if this was typical of all women separated from their loved ones.

Bai Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and asked suggestively: “Missing your Mo Xiuchen again?”

“So what if I miss him? He’s my husband; it’s perfectly normal.”

The two laughed and chatted amongst themselves. Half an hour later, there was a knock at the door.

Wen Ran went to open the door, and before her stood a tall woman with blonde hair. Despite not wearing designer clothes, she appeared stylish and held a fruit basket in her hands.

“Are you Miss Wen? Nice to meet you. I’m Tong Shishi.”

Tong Shishi introduced herself confidently, offering her hand with a smile.

“Nice to meet you!”

Wen Ran responded warmly, shaking her hand, and retreated back into into the room. Tong Shishi followed her in, studying Wen Ran’s retreating figure for several seconds before shifting her gaze to Bai Xiaoxiao on the bed.

“Have a seat!”

Tong Shishi thanked Wen Ran and exchanged a few words with Bai Xiaoxiao. She placed the fruit basket on the table, but remained standing, showing no intention of sitting down.

“Ranran, sit here.”

Bai Xiaoxiao patted the edge of the bed. Wen Ran smiled, sat down on the bed and said, “Miss Tong, please sit if you have something to say.”

“I’ll just stand.”

Tong Shishi appeared slightly restrained and nervous now, a stark contrast to her initial confident demeanor.

She was truly nervous. It had only been a few minutes since she stepped into the hospital room, and her impressions of Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao had already changed drastically. When Wen Ran opened the door, Tong Shishi’s initial impression of her was simply that Wen Ran was beautiful. But when she followed her into the room, she recognized Wen Ran’s outfit as being from a famous brand. She felt a deep surge of envy. Wen Ran’s voice was gentle, but there was a sense of elegance and nobility about her that was impossible to hide. It became apparent in her every move.

Bai Xiaoxiao was different from Wen Ran. She openly scrutinized and assessed Tong Shishi. Their brief conversation revealed Xiaoxiao’s arrogance – an attitude typically associated with wealthy girls. This made Tong Shishi feel awkward.

Facing these two women, Tong Shishi somewhat regretted her deliberate effort to dress up. She believed she was beautiful, and even more so when she wore makeup. However, in the presence of the makeup-free Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she appeared tacky.

Wen Ran didn’t insist that Tong Shishi sit; she just glanced at her casually and withdrew her gaze.

“Miss Wen, Little Liu and I had a fight due to misunderstanding a while back. He has been avoiding me since then, and he won’t answer my calls. Today, I am here to ask for your help, Miss Wen.”

Tong Shishi took the initiative to explain her purpose. Wen Ran played with her fingers, without raising her eyes to look at her.

She and Bai Xiaoxiao were sitting, while Tong Shishi stood in front of the bed. To look at her, they needed to raise their faces, and that felt uncomfortable.

Wen Ran focused on her nails and said casually, “I heard that Miss Tong and Little Liu have broken up.”

“Yeah, when Little Liu came to bring food, I saw marks like finger scratches on his face. We asked him about it but he wouldn’t say anything. Miss Tong, you didn’t give Liu those marks, did you?”

Bai Xiaoxiao chimed in.

Tong Shishi’s face paled at her words. Just as she was about to explain, Wen Ran spoke again, “Miss Tong, if it’s going to take more than a few words to explain, you should sit down. It feels strange for you to stand there while Xiaoxiao and I sit here.”

“Okay.”

Tong Shishi hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a chair and sat down.
