Chapter 372: 371 High-profile Mo Xiuchen
“Wen Ran, your Mo Xiuchen is too much. I called him, and he actually said ‘Ranran, happy birthday’ to me. It scared me at first.”
Wen Ran was having a chat with Bai Xiaoxiao when Luo Haofeng’s complaint call came in.
Unable to suppress a smile, she asked, “What are you calling him for during working hours?”
“Of course I have a business to discuss. Tell him to cancel that ringtone immediately. Is he trying to announce a global celebration?”
Luo Haofeng complained that everyone who called Mo Xiuchen on Wen Ran’s birthday got the same ringtone. He and Mo Xiuchen had shared brotherly bonds for over a decade or two and never saw him behave like this before.
“I can’t do anything about it.”
Wen Ran wore a blissful smile on her face. She assumed that Mo Xiuchen had set the ringtone to be exclusive for her calls. She didn’t expect it to be the same for others too.
It was intentional on Mo Xiuchen’s part.
Late in the morning, Gu Kai and Wen Jin walked into Bai Xiaoxiao’s ward together. On seeing them, Wen Ran immediately got up to meet them:
“Brother, is your leg completely healed?”
Wen Ran wanted to check up on Wen Jin as she hadn’t seen him in a few days.
Not only had his leg healed, but he also looked more energetic and handsome than before.
Wen Jin looked at her with affectionate eyes, “Yes, it’s all thanks to Doctor Gu.”
Gu Kai chuckled, “It’s all your own effort. I just helped a little.” It had to be said, among all of Gu Kai’s clients, Wen Jin’s recovery was the fastest. Initially, he thought that Wen Jin’s leg would take two to three months to recover.
However, with his incredible willpower, he managed to speed up his recovery by half the time.
Looking at Gu Kai and Wen Jin, Wen Ran’s heart warmed. As Bai Xiaoxiao had said, having two caring brothers was indeed a blessing.
She no longer felt troubled by her origins and had fully accepted herself as a daughter of the Gu Family, despite being raised in the Wen Family.
“Older Brother Gu, you downplay your part in this, but you should stop being so modest.”
“Alright, I won’t be modest. But to be honest, the person who truly contributed to Wen Jin’s fast recovery is you, Ranran.”
Gu Kai gazed at his sister tenderly. A major reason for Wen Jin’s speedy recovery was Wen Ran.
Wen Jin wanted to recover quicker to ease Ranran’s burdens, to protect her, and keep her from being oppressed by others.
However, once he was able to do so, Ranran no longer needed him.
“We all contributed.”
Wen Ran said, teasingly.
“Yes, but as today’s birthday girl, feel free to let us know your wishes. There’s nothing your two brothers can’t do.”
Gu Kai sounded confident and doting. This was the first time he was celebrating his sister’s birthday. He had always dreamed of being the best elder brother in the world. However, the heavens made him wait for many years for this day.
He was so excited these past few days that he couldn’t sleep. He woke up early today and heard that she was coming to see Bai Xiaoxiao in the hospital in the morning. After checking up on Wen Jin, they both came to see her together.
Touched and feeling blessed, Wen Ran said, “I don’t have any wishes for now. If anything comes up, I will make it tonight.”
“Hmm, you are going to wait until tonight to make a low-key wish. However, someone else can’t wait to let the whole world know it’s your birthday.”
Wen Jin teased. Wen Ran’s eyes sparkled, and she asked with a smile, “Brother, did you also call Mo Xiuchen?”
She assumed the ‘someone’ he was referring to was none other than Mo Xiuchen.
Wen Jin hummed in affirmation. Gu Kai, next to him, burst out laughing, “Mo Xiuchen who used to keep a low profile for almost twenty-nine years, has become rebellious ever since he met Ranran. He has become high-key.”
“How did you all find out about his special ringtone?”
Wen Ran felt slightly embarrassed. Mo Xiuchen was really being high-profile.
“How could we not know when he wants the entire world to know?”
Gu Kai pretends to be innocent.
He made a call to Mo Xiuchen early in the morning and got the same ringtone. The funniest part was that he wasn’t completely awake at the time, so mistook the ringtone for Mo Xiuchen’s voice. He replied, “I am not Ranran, I am Ah Kai.”
Fortunately, Mo Xiuchen didn’t find out about this blunder, as it happened in his own room, and no one else heard it.
He swore he would never tell a second person about this ridiculous incident.
Wen Ran laughed softly, her eyes filled with bliss. It seems she would have to talk to Mo Xiuchen and get him to change the ringtone at lunchtime.
“After all this talking, I still don’t understand. Does Mo Xiuchen want the whole world to know its Ranran’s birthday today, and what earth-shattering things has he done?”
Bai Xiaoxiao, lying in bed, looked at them curiously. Having listened for such a long time, she still couldn’t fathom what’s going on.
Wen Jin walked up to the bedside and asked Bai Xiaoxiao about her condition before answering her question, “It’s Mo Xiuchen’s ringtone. He recorded it himself. Anyone who calls him will hear that ringtone. If you want to know, call him and listen.”
“Really?”
Bai Xiaoxiao immediately showed interest and anxiously picked up her phone and dialed Mo Xiuchen’s number.
Wen Ran twitched the corner of her mouth, gave Wen Jin a reproachful look, and watched Bai Xiaoxiao.
After a moment, Bai Xiaoxiao started to laugh, “Ranran, Mo Xiuchen’s voice is so emotional. But this ringtone is something you should listen to, not everyone. He’s confessing to the whole world.”
“Confession, yes, Xiaoxiao, you describe it really well. Xiuchen is indeed making a confession!”
Gu Kai squinted his eyes and praised her with a smile.
Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at him and chuckled. On the phone, the pleasant voice of Mo Xiuchen came through, quite cheerful for the day, “Hello!”
“Mo Xiuchen, I am fine. I just heard them saying that your ringtone is quite nice. I was just curious and made this call. You can carry on with your work!”
Bai Xiaoxiao’s reply made Wen Jin and Gu Kai double over with laughter. Wen Ran watched her with a flushed face, both amused and embarrassed by this girl.
And, without waiting for the other person to respond, Bai Xiaoxiao hung up the call.
“Ah, Ranran, I forgot to ask. Do you want to speak with Mo Xiuchen? Should I call again?”
Looking at Wen Ran’s deep reddish face, Bai Xiaoxiao deliberately teased her.
Wen Ran glared at her, and seeing her about to dial, she quickly grabbed her phone, sternly saying, “Do not call again! Come on, people, it’s just a ringtone. One day, you will do something far more extravagant than this!”
What she meant was when they fall in love with someone, they would go to any length to express their love for them.
Wen Jin, standing beside her, slightly changed the color of his eyes.
