Chapter 718: 717 Ranran, I saw Mo Xiuchen.
Despite Wen Ran’s calm demeanor, she did not explain to Luo Haofeng what necessitated her urgent return. But his instinct told him that there must be a reason.
“I miss home.”
Wen Ran shot him a glance before leading the way into the hospital’s main hall.
After they ascended the stairs, as Mother Qin was pulling Wen Ran aside to give her reminders outside the ward, Luo Haofeng asked Qin Mu if he knew why Wen Ran was in such a hurry to return to G City.
Qin Mu’s gaze was fixed on the door, and he spoke quietly, “She received a phone call this morning and mentioned she needed to return this afternoon. As for specifics, I am unaware.”
He only knew that Wen Ran seemed somewhat absent-minded after taking a phone call in the morning.
After a few seconds of silence, he muttered, “Perhaps, it has something to do with Mo Xiuchen.”
“Mo Xiuchen?”
Luo Haofeng widened his eyes in surprise. Mo Xiuchen was all the way in D Country.
Cheng Jia probably won’t let him return to the country anytime soon.
What could make Wen Ran so desperate to rush back, and how was it related to Xiuchen?
“Isn’t Mo Xiuchen expanding the MS Group’s market in Europe?”
Luo Haofeng couldn’t figure it out. Qin Mu narrowed his eyes and speculated quietly, “Perhaps… Mo Xiuchen might have returned.”
“Really?”
“It’s just a guess.”
Qin Mu’s lips curled slightly. It was indeed a wild guess.
Other than Mo Xiuchen, or things related to him, who or what else could cause Wen Ran to lose her focus?
She had come to A City to purchase fruit tree and flower saplings to plant around her country villa, all to maintain the beautiful childhood memories of Mo Xiuchen.
Luo Haofeng’s lips twitched, and he grumbled, “Mo Xiuchen has lost all his memories and that despicable woman, Cheng Jia, forced Ranran to swear an oath. Maybe Mo Xiuchen will never remember anything about Wen Ran. Seeing her like this is painful.”
Qin Mu remained silent, his lips pressed together tightly.
He only found out later that Wen Ran had been forced by Cheng Jia to make a vow.
She swore to never be together with Mo Xiuchen again and to never tell him about their past. Those close to her were also not allowed to approach him.
Given the circumstances at that time, Wen Ran, who was entirely concerned about Mo Xiuchen’s health, made the vow using someone she valued.
“If I ever cross paths with that despicable woman Cheng Jia, I would make her pay,” Luo Haofeng cursed angrily. Noticing Qin Mu’s continuing silence, he was reminded of something.
“Ah Mu, Wen Ran has agreed to join Haochen’s company in a few days. You should focus on recovering so you can return to work. Regardless of Cheng Jia’s manipulation and coercion, we’ll probably be seeing a lot of Mo Xiuchen in the future. He’ll gradually remember everything.”
Qin Mu looked at Luo Haofeng in surprise, “Wen Ran agreed to work at Haochen’s?”
“Yes, she assured me in person. With Mo Xiuchen’s loss of memory, he’s unknowingly putting pressure on his own company in hopes of merging it into the MS Group. Wen Ran can’t stand idly by and watch that happen,”
Luo Haofeng showed a hint of satisfaction, anticipating the drama that was yet to unfold.
He always thought the love between Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran was somewhat unrealistic.
Their profound love for each other seemed to be the stuff of TV shows or novels.
He had never seen it in real life.
Previously, Mo Xiuchen could recognize Wen Ran in a crowd instantly. Now, he couldn’t wait to see what happened.
Would Mo Xiuchen fall in love with Wen Ran at first sight if he encountered her again?
If Mo Xiuchen could still fall in love with Wen Ran at first sight after losing his memory, he would truly believe that they were inseparable.
“That’s better. It’s better to be at work than being idle and lost in thought. Mo Xiuchen won’t be in D Country forever. Once he returns, we’ll inevitably meet.”
A faint smile crept onto Qin Mu’s lips, and a complex emotion flickered in his unfathomable, inky eyes.
**
Wen Ran was not sure whether or not Mo Xiuchen had returned to G City.
However, upon receiving Cheng Jia’s call, asking about Mo Xiuchen’s flight schedule that morning, she immediately thought of returning to G City.
She even booked a flight that would arrive in G City around the same time as Mo Xiuchen, assuming he was indeed returning.
She didn’t dare to harbor great expectations. Even so, when she didn’t see the familiar figure at the airport, she felt an obscure sense of disappointment.
Gu Kai specifically came to pick her up from the airport. As Qin Mu had to continue his hospital stay, they went directly to Kangning Hospital.
After making arrangements for Qin Mu, Wen Ran proposed that Luo Haofeng call Bai Xiaoxiao to join them for dinner.
After she had called Wen Jin, Luo Haofeng told her that Bai Xiaoxiao was attending a charity dinner with her mother that day.
Wen Ran felt slightly disappointed, “That’s a shame, guess it can’t be helped.”
The group of them went to Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion for dinner, excluding Qin Mu of course.
Although he was recovering well, the two hours of flight that day had left him exhausted.
Midway through dinner, Bai Xiaoxiao called.
Even before Wen Ran could say “hello”, Xiaoxiao’s voice came from the phone, “Ranran, guess who I saw?”
Her voice, a mix of shock and delight, carried an air of urgency that hit Wen Ran hard. Her heartbeat inexplicably skipped a beat.
The first assumption that popped into her mind was that Mo Xiuchen really had returned.
She just held the phone tight, trying to suppress the surging emotions within, and asked with feigned calmness, “Who did you see?”
Next to her, Wen Jin had just put a peeled shrimp on Wen Ran’s plate.
Upon hearing her seemingly calm but emotionally suppressed voice, he was taken aback. Mo Yu looked at her intently.
“Ranran, I saw Mo Xiuchen, really, he just showed up with Mo Jingteng at the charity dinner. Please come here quickly,”
Wen Ran’s hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
That name, like a heavy drum, struck her heart.
Her heartbeat, uncontrolled, fell into disorder.
“Ranran, I’ll say hello to him when I get a chance. Hurry up and come over.”
Bai Xiaoxiao was visibly excited.
She hadn’t expected to bump into Mo Xiuchen at the charity dinner. When she first saw him, she even thought her eyes were playing tricks on her.
That man, emanating a cool and aloof aura that seemed to say “strangers not welcome,” immediately commanded attention wherever he stood, even without uttering a word.
As Mo Jingteng was present and Mo Xiuchen had amnesia, she didn’t dare to approach them. Instead, she hid outside, secretly dialing Wen Ran.
“Xiaoxiao, don’t disturb him.”
Wen Ran’s voice was unexpectedly calm.
All emotions were suppressed deep within her heart, she remembered Cheng Jia’s warning and the oath she had once sworn.
Her exquisite and fair face turned slightly pale at the moment.
If she had sworn on herself, she wouldn’t be bothered.
However, she had sworn on the man she cherished the most, making it impossible for her to break the oath.
