Chapter 486: 485 Don’t worry
In their eyes, Wen Ran was a calm woman, deeply in love with Mo Xiuchen. She wouldn’t act impulsively, let alone be thoughtless of Mo Xiuchen’s feelings.
She should know that the reason Mo Xiuchen painstakingly kept things from her was to keep her from hurting. “How did you find Wen Ran?”
Luo Haofeng asked with astonishment, looking at Mo Xiuchen, he could not help but feel sympathy.
“Ranran gave me a call, asking for a divorce.”
Mo Xiuchen’s breathing was heavy, just thinking about what Wen Ran had said earlier was enough to make his heart ache as if it were being torn apart. This pain spread through his heart, into his limbs, making even breathing unbearable.
He had never considered separating from her before.
Even in the past, when he was unsure if she was the woman he was seeking, he had already chosen her as his partner. Later, when he discovered she was the girl he had been tirelessly seeking, he treasured her immensely, living in fear of unintentionally neglecting her, or making her feel desolate.
During their last health check-up, he had revealed that he had health problems, and she cried bitterly. She begged him to seek treatment, even if it was just for her sake, he needed to treat his ailments.
She was even willing to accompany him while he took medication.
How could she, in just a blink of an eye, want to leave him?
She loved him so much, lamenting over his past sufferings and saying she would always be with him.
“Xiuchen!”
Qin Mu spoke his name in a low voice, masked with heavy emotions.
He didn’t know what Mo Xiuchen was thinking, but the sudden tears in his eyes took him aback.
“I’m okay.”
Mo Xiuchen shook his head, taking a deep breath, he attempted to suppress the gnawing pain in his heart.
Luo Haofeng pursed his lips, saying softly, “Maybe, Wen Ran is just struggling to accept it at the moment. You knew she would have trouble accepting it, that’s why you did everything to hide it from her. Give her some time, she’ll understand.”
Xiuchen and Wen Ran have been through so much together, their friends can witness their sweet love. Looking at their sweet romance, He too envied them and even thought of finding a girlfriend to experience such love.
“Yes, Haofeng is right, Wen Ran will understand. She loves you so much, how can she leave you? That time when you got injured in City C, she even threatened me in the middle of the night to take her to City C to find you. Xiuchen, don’t be sad, she is just struggling to accept it.”
Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng had never seen Mo Xiuchen in such a state before.
In an upstairs room, Wen Jin helped Wen Ran up, asking in a soft voice, “Has he left yet?”
On the side, Gu Kai uncertainly said, “When we came up, he mentioned something and left. Whether he is still downstairs or not, I don’t know. Ranran, if you don’t want to see him, I can call and ask.”
Wen Ran’s expression turned stiff for a moment, but seeing Gu Kai pulling out his phone, she stopped him from making the call, “Older Brother Gu, no need to call. Once we reach downstairs, send him home. I can’t be assured if he drives himself back.”
Even if they were to divorce, her love for him wouldn’t decrease at all. Naturally, she wouldn’t want anything to happen to him.
She saw how sad he was when she spoke those words to him earlier, she couldn’t worry less if he was to drive on his own.
Gu Kai’s eyes widened, “Ranran, since you’re worried about Xiuchen, how about you just go home with him? You can talk over whatever you need to.”
“I won’t go back with him.”
Wen Ran’s worried look had faded, replaced by a cold stare at Gu Kai, her eyes as icy as water.
It appeared that the emotions she had shown earlier were nothing more than an illusion to Gu Kai.
“Ranran, if you don’t want to go back, you can stay at my place for a few days. Once you’re ready, I’ll have Mo Xiuchen come and pick you up. Ah Kai, I’ll bring Ranran home first, you can ensure Mo Xiuchen returns home safely, as that will give Ranran peace of mind.”
Wen Jin could sense that something was troubling Ranran.
Having lived with her for more than a decade, he understood her better than Gu Kai. He knew that she wasn’t telling the truth earlier.
The person who had called her, she must know who it was.
Her decision to turn away Mo Xiuchen and her reluctance to go home was most certainly related to that phone call. The content of that call definitely contained more than just the fact that she couldn’t bear children.
The Ranran of today was not the same princess doted on by him and her parents from the past.
Even if she knew that she could never be a mother, she wouldn’t be displaying such an attitude.
“Alright, I will go down and have a look first.”
Having said that, Gu Kai left the room first.
“Ranran, wipe away your tears. Let’s go home.”
Wen Jin passed her a tissue. Wen Ran silently wiped away her tears. Coming out of the hotel, she spotted the familiar Aston parked by the roadside.
Both Qin Mu and Luo Haofeng were by the car.
The next second, the car door opened, and the tall and upright figure of Mo Xiuchen stepped out. Her gaze abruptly fixed on him, and her heart stopped for a moment.
Despite several meters separating them, his deep clear eyes met hers. His gaze locking onto hers, the calmed waves in her heart began to surge again.
Wen Jin stood beside her, watching her with a pained expression.
A few meters away, Mo Xiuchen was walking towards her. Her heart, which had momentarily paused, started pounding frantically, and the sound echoed through her eardrums.
The familiar scent filled the air.
It entered her nostrils, the familiar scent reaching her lungs. She wanted to run, but her feet felt glued on the spot, and her gaze couldn’t bear to look away.
Mo Xiuchen stood in front of her. Normally, he would be wearing a tender smile and speaking with gentle eyes.
But at this moment, his eyes were heavy with suppressed emotions. The pain had even tainted his exquisite features.
Wen Ran kept her lips tightly sealed, and subconsciously held her breath.
“Ranran!”
He called her name softly and tenderly.
His usual endearing tone, straight from the tip of his tongue, filled with deep love, made her heart skip a beat.
Seeing her not respond, Mo Xiuchen’s eyes dimmed slightly. Habitually, he tried to raise his hand to touch her face, but recalling something, he slowly put his hand back down.
His gaze shifted from her face to Wen Jin standing beside her, his voice full of concern and anguish, “Please take care of Ranran for the next few days and let her do what she wants.”
Without waiting for Wen Jin’s response, he looked back at Wen Ran, his voice even softer, “Ranran, I’ll be waiting at home. Whenever you’re ready to come back, I’ll come to pick you up.”
Wen Ran pressed her lips tightly and tried to control the overwhelming feelings in her heart. She didn’t want to cry in front of him anymore, she didn’t want him to see her vulnerability.
Ah Kai told me that you were worried about me driving by myself, don’t worry, for the next few days, I won’t be driving. Haofeng and Ah Mu will send me back, let Ah Kai and Wen Jin accompany you back first. You don’t want to see me, but they’re your brothers, you can’t not want to see them too.”
