Chapter 946: 945 Apologize

“I believe you.”

Wen Ran smiled and nodded, her eyes full of trust for him.

She shouldn’t have said those words just now.

A hint of a smile flashed in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes, “So, you wouldn’t mind if I change your hairstyle every week?”

“…”

Wen Ran was speechless, realizing that after going around in circles, he was just trying to achieve his own goal.

Kangning Hospital

When Shen Yuting arrived at the office, Gu Kai was already sitting on the sofa there.

“Cousin, why are you here, did you come to see me?”

A flash of surprise crossed Shen Yuting’s face as she walked into the office.

Gu Kai smiled and looked at Shen Yuting warmly, “Yes, I came here specifically to see you.”

“Oh, what’s the matter?”

After putting away her handbag, Gu Kai stood up, walked over, and Shen Yuting sat behind her desk, opening a drawer as she asked.

“Yuting, last night, when you called Ranran, I was at her house.”

Gu Kai pulled out a chair in front of her desk and sat down, calmly stating.

Shen Yuting’s movements paused, her head suddenly lifted to meet Gu Kai’s deep eyes, her lips curling into a self-mocking smile, “Cousin, you already know?”

“Yes.” Gu Kai nodded.

Shen Yuting pursed her lips, her voice, infused with a complex emotion, a bit stiff, “Cousin, did Ranran call Jiang Liu last night, or, she didn’t want to help me?”

Gu Kai furrowed his brow, “Yuting, why would you think that?”

Shen Yuting laughed, saying, “She didn’t return my call last night, and later when I called her, she didn’t pick up, I thought, maybe she wasn’t willing to help me. Actually, this is an issue between Jiang Liu and me, I shouldn’t have troubled her. But I thought, since Jiang Liu had helped Ranran back in A City…”

Gu Kai’s expression turned serious as he looked at Shen Yuting and interrupted her, “Yuting, I didn’t expect you to think this way. Ranran’s failure to answer your call might have been for some special reason, but you shouldn’t feel that she was unwilling to help you. Right after she finished talking to you last night, she immediately called Jiang Liu.”

Shen Yuting’s face paled slightly, partly out of guilt for misunderstanding Wen Ran and partly because of Gu Kai’s stern words.

In the years before Gu Kai found his sister, Shen Yuting had enjoyed his brotherly affection in place of Wen Ran, and Gu Kai had never spoken to her in such a serious tone, let alone scolded her.

The first time, Gu Kai spoke to her in this tone was because of Wen Ran.

The second time, also because of Wen Ran.

Whether it was Gu Kai’s stern warning or his harsh scolding, it was all because of Wen Ran, and this made Shen Yuting very upset.

“But she didn’t call me.”

Shen Yuting softly argued, it wasn’t very late when she had called Wen Ran last night, she could have easily returned her call.

Gu Kai’s eyes darkened, really wanting to scold her, but thinking of something, he suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to keep his tone calm, “Yuting, when Ranran called Jiang Liu, it seemed he was drunk, and the phone turned off after a few words. It was I who asked Ranran to call him again today and then tell you the result.”

Though still somewhat uncomfortable, Shen Yuting, upon hearing what Gu Kai said, ultimately apologized, “Cousin, I’m sorry, I misunderstood Ranran. I’ve been anxious these past few days as I couldn’t reach Jiang Liu, so I was a bit upset.”

Gu Kai sighed, his tone softening, “Since you still have feelings for Jiang Liu, why did you break up with him in the first place?”

Shen Yuting avoided his gaze, her eyes cast downward, her voice somewhat aloof, “Cousin, although Jiang Liu and I broke up, I don’t want him to fall into decay.”

“You don’t have to worry, just because Jiang Liu works in a nightclub, it doesn’t necessarily mean he is degenerating.” Gu Kai paused, then added, “Ranran will call Jiang Liu today, and if she gets in touch with him, she will definitely call you back. Even if Jiang Liu doesn’t answer the phone, it’s not impossible for you to find him if you really want to.”

“I don’t know which nightclub he’s in.”

Shen Yuting spoke urgently, as though afraid that Gu Kai would think she had troubled Wen Ran.

Gu Kai smiled slightly, saying, “You’re so naive. Although there are many nightclubs in G City, they are countable. We can look from one to another, and we can certainly find him. Since you want to, I’ll definitely help you.”

“Cousin, thank you.” Shen Yuting’s eyes sparkled, revealing a grateful smile.

Ten in the morning

Wen Ran was finally free.

After being tormented by Mo Xiuchen for more than an hour in the morning, having breakfast, he then took down her braids, washed her hair, dried it, and styled it again.

Previously, it was full of small checks with tiny braids, but this time, it was a bit simpler – a heart-shaped style, which, coupled with Wen Ran’s delicate and beautiful features, looked very attractive.

At least, Mo Xiuchen was very satisfied with his own creation, “Ranran, come on, let’s go out and have fun.”

“Wait a minute, I need to call Jiang Liu first, and then inform Sister Ting.”

Wen Ran pulled out her hand that Mo Xiuchen was holding and took out her phone to make a call.

Mo Xiuchen frowned slightly but did not stop her, instead, he walked to the sofa and sat down to wait for her.

After two rings, Jiang Liu’s voice came through, “Hello.”

“Jiang Liu, this is Wen Ran. I called you last night,” Wen Ran said straightforwardly.

“Miss Wen, what can I do for you?” Jiang Liu’s voice, seemingly not fully awake yet, carried a lazy sleepiness. After speaking, he yawned.

Wen Ran glanced at Mo Xiuchen, who was a few steps away, leaning in the sofa, and calmly said, “Yes, I need to talk to you. Are you free right now?”

“What’s the matter?”

Instead of answering, his voice became clearer and a bit deeper than before, more alert.

Wen Ran smiled faintly, walked to the sofa, and sat next to Mo Xiuchen, “If you’re free now, let’s meet somewhere and talk. It’s hard to explain everything in a few words over the phone.”

As she finished speaking, Mo Xiuchen’s gaze suddenly darkened, his eyebrows furrowed in displeasure.

Wen Ran smiled reassuringly at him, her small hand grasped his large palm, signaling him to be patient. On the other end of the phone, Jiang Liu did not immediately respond, seemingly hesitating.

After a moment’s wait without a reply from Jiang Liu, Wen Ran’s brows slightly furrowed, “If you aren’t free now, this afternoon works too, or even tomorrow.”

As long as she could arrange to meet him, her task would be considered complete.

“Miss Wen, I really can’t make it today. Let me arrange some time and I’ll call you, okay?”

Jiang Liu’s voice sounded somewhat troubled, but it also sounded sincere.

Wen Ran looked at Mo Xiuchen next to her. She had turned on the speaker when she first sat down, and by now, Mo Xiuchen’s face had darkened like the bottom of a pot.
