“Yes, he used to despise contact with women. Whenever a woman was around, he would become agitated and disgusted. Under such circumstances, there is no way to test whether his disease has improved or not.”

Gu Kai affirmed, confidently.

Wen Ran found it hard to believe. She knew that there were no other women around MO Xiuchen, not even a female assistant – they were all men. However, she assumed that it was due to his ‘disease’ that he didn’t want women around him.

But, he actually despised contact with women.

Yet every night, he would hold her while they slept, and he never exhibited signs of disgust.

Seeing the confusion in Wen Ran’s eyes, Gu Kai put down his thermal cup and smiled lightly. “When Xiuchen suddenly decided to marry you, I found it odd, but one night at dinner, I noticed that he didn’t despise you. That’s a good sign. ”

Wen Ran’s face was tinged with perplexity as she began to understand what he was implying.

“You said earlier that you hope Xiuchen becomes healthy and happy, right?” He looked at her with a gentle smile and put the question to her warmly.

Wen Ran nodded, and he continued, “You can try. Maybe you can cure his disease.’

With an expectant, beautiful smile playing on his lips, Gu Kai looked like he genuinely hoped she could cure his good friend’s disease.

Wen Ran trusted his words. Thinking of MO Xiuchen’s reactions when she was with him, she grew hopeful once more, her earlier dulled gaze brightening.

“Thank you for telling me all this, Dr. Gu.”

Gu Kai replied casually, “If you’re really thankful, don’t keep calling me ‘Dr. Gu’.

Xiuchen and I are good friends. You can just call me by my first name.”

“How could I do that?”

Shaking her head, Wen Ran explained that it would be too rude for her to address him by his first name, as he was much older than she was.

“I used to have a younger sister. If she were still alive, she would be around your age. You can call me ‘Older Brother Gu.’ Just don’t call me ‘Dr. Gu’ all the time — my ears are getting calluses.”

After saying that, he playfully mimicked the motion of scratching his ear. Wen Ran thought about it, and decided to choose the latter. “Okay, then I will call you Older Brother Gu. Thank you, Older Brother Gu!”

Gu Kai laughed heartily. Hearing Wen Ran call him ‘Older Brother Gu’, he felt an odd warmth and touch of sentiment, as if the charming little woman before him was not a stranger, but the sister he had been seeking for years.

A nurse entered the room, telling Gu Kai to head to the ward. Having asked all her questions, Wen Ran went to visit her elder brother, Wen Jin.

When Gu Kai called, MO Xiuchen had just gotten off the phone with Qin Mu.

Over the weekend, he had been ordered to go to Wen Hongrui’s hometown in F City to investigate Wen Ran’s past prior to age six.

MO Xiuchen lazily responded to Gu Kai’s call, and Gu Kai’s upbeat voice came from across the line, saying, “Xiuchen, I did you a big favor. You should thank me deeply.”

“What big favor? Did you dial the wrong number?”

MO Xiuchen scowled, speaking in a disdainful tone. “Wen Ran came to see me earlier, about you.”

Gu Kai deliberately attempted to pique his curiosity, abruptly clamping his mouth shut after letting this statement hang.

Narrowing his elongated eyes, MO Xiuchen quickly guessed the possible reason that Wen Ran had approached Gu Kai. His gaze shifted, and he asked in a deep voice, “What did she say to you?” “You want to know?”

Gu Kai laughed on the other end.

“Enough with the nonsense!”

MO Xiuchen’s face turned cold with irritation. If Gu Kai wasn’t going to tell him, he would just have to ask, “Did she ask about my ‘disease’? Whether it’s real or fake?”

“She didn’t phrase it like that. She asked me if your disease was curable, saying she hopes that you are healthy and happy. Xiuchen, I don’t know your true reason for marrying Wen Ran, but she is sincere in her regard for you.”

By ‘sincere,’ Gu Kai was not implying that Wen Ran was in love with MO Xiuchen, but rather that her attitude towards him was genuine. She sincerely wanted to be good to him.

As an image of Wen Ran’s delicate, fair face and soft, gentle smile appeared before his eyes, a wave of warmth welled up in MO Xiuchen’s chest. His lips curled up inadvertently, “And how did you respond?”

Hearing his change in tone, Gu Kai couldn’t help scoffing at him on the other end of the phone, “I told her that you have been treated before, but because you despise being touched by women, we don’t Imow how effective it was. I suggested she try to see if she could help you recover. I’ve done right by you, brother!”

MO Xiuchen frowned, but couldn’t suppress a smile.

He was suddenly looking forward to seeing how Wen Ran would help him.

“Is she still in the hospital?”

MO Xiuchen asked in return. Although he didn’t voice it, he was indeed thankful to Gu Kai. “She is probably in the ward with her brother.”

Gu Kai replied uncertainly.

MO Xiuchen glanced at the time on his screen, told Gu Kai that he had to hang up as he had something else to do, and hung up. He then dialed Wen Ran’s number.

At a certain coffee shop in G City.

Upon entering the coffee shop, Xiao Wenqing surveyed her surroundings, but instead headed to a corner in the southeast. She sat down across from a man and arrogantly asked, “What was so important that you had to meet me?”

Zhou Mingfu tried to appease her with a smile, “I have an important matter to discuss with you. What would you like to drink?”

“Blue Mountain coffee will suffice.”

To the approaching waiter, Xiao Wenqing made her order. The waiter responded with a cheerful smile and excused himself.

“Mrs. MO, I heard from Ah Lin that you invited her to the MO family dinner tonight. Is that true?”

Zhou Mingfu looked at Xiao Wenqing cautiously. Although they had some business interests tied up together, Xiao Wenqing was the supreme lady of the MO family and the wife of A City’s leading tycoon, MO Jingteng. In terms of status and prestige, Mingfu was nowhere near her level.

Xiao Wenqing nonchalantly acknowledged, “If Zhou Lin could bear a son for Zixuan, then not only would we invite her to our family dinners, but we would also not mind her marrying into the MO family.”

Zhou Mingfu’s face broke into a full smile as he reassured Xiao Wenqing, “Rest assured, Mrs. Mo. Ah Lin will certainly bear a son for Zixuan to inherit the MO family line. It’s quite possible that she’s already carrying Zixuan’s son, your grandson.”

This was not onlv Xiao Wenainz’s dream, but something that Zhou Minzfu yearned for as well.

Xiao Wenqing would not be easily appeased. With the waiter serving the coffee, she added sugar to it while saying, “Since you’ve arranged to meet me today, you can also take a message back to Zhou Lin when you go. Ask her to cooperate with me tonight, no matter what it takes, to keep Wen Ran distracted. ”

Without hesitation, Zhou Mingfu agreed, “No problem, Mrs. Mo. Rest assured, I will relay your message to Ah Lin. However, can you provide me with more details? It would help Ah Lin cooperate better.”

Xiao Wenqing furrowed her brows, her face revealing a trace of impatience.. Nevertheless, she explained her entire plan to him, asserting that she intended to test MO Xiuchen tonight and it had to succeed!
