Chapter 705: Always remember 704
Gu Kai lifted his brows smugly, “No need for discussion, I’m two years older than Ah Jin. But, I just got used to you calling me ‘brother’, it feels strange to suddenly switch to ‘big brother’. How about this, when we go back to G City, I will negotiate with Wen Jin. He has been stealing my sister over these years, it’s about time he returned her to me.”
Now, without Mo Xiuchen, there was only that guy, Wen Jin. Gu Kai thought to himself. As long as he could deal with Wen Jin, no one else would fight for Ranran.
It was time to compensate for the many years of loneliness without a sister.
Thinking about this, his mood suddenly lifted, and he whistled happily. “Ranran, let’s go. I’ll take you to see Ah Mu.”
As he said that, he pulled her in, draping his arm over Wen Ran’s shoulders.
She didn’t dodge and allowed him to pull her into his arm. Without any hesitation, Gu Kai brought her out of the ward.
“Brother, slow down.”
Wen Ran, whose legs were not as long as Gu Kai’s, protested as he held her and walked quickly.
He took his hand off her shoulder.
He pursed his lips, somewhat apologetic. “I forgot you were ill because I was upset with you.”
Wen Ran’s mouth twitched, wondering when she had upset him.
Before Qin Mu woke up, he was staying in the ICU.
After he woke up this afternoon, he asked to be moved out of the ICU.
Now, his new room was only three doors away from Wen Ran’s.
Originally, the room next to Wen Ran’s was also vacant.
But when Mother Qin arranged Qin Mu’s room, she specifically avoided that one and placed him two rooms further away.
In the past, Mother Qin was always concerned that her son didn’t have a girl he liked.
That he wouldn’t date or get married.
Now, she finally knew that her son too had a girl he liked.
But to her surprise, the girl Qin Mu was attracted to was Wen Ran.
If Wen Ran was not Mo Xiuchen’s wife, but a simple unmarried girl, Mother Qin would undoubtedly be pleased.
However, Qin Mu had fallen for the woman who was the love of his best friend’s life.
Even though Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran were no longer in a relationship now.
And Mo Xiuchen had all his memories erased, forgeting Wen Ran.
But that was just Mo Xiuchen forgetting, Wen Ran didn’t forget. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⦿fire.net
The man she loved in her heart was Mo Xiuchen and Mother Qin had indeed been moved by their relationship.
In the ward, she fed Qin Mu while thinking to herself. Once Qin Mu got a little better, she would have a talk with him.
The ward door was pushed open from the outside at this moment.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Qin Mu instinctively looked up. He saw Gu Kai and Wen Ran stepping in from the doorway. Seeing the blue figure, his heart skipped a beat.
It was just a momentary change in expression. Soon, his expression returned to its usual calm.
But his eyes glowed with unmistakable joy.
Seeing that silhouette at the doorway, perfectly fine and standing there, his worried heart finally settled down.
Wen Ran walked to the bedside, looking at Qin Mu with caring eyes.
Her voice was soft and full of joy, “Qin Mu, my brother just told me you woke up. Did the doctor give you a complete check-up?”
Qin Mu’s mouth curled into a warm smile, making him look gentle. “I have been examined. The doctor said that those who have escaped death are destined to be blessed.”
Wen Ran immediately laughed, “If you can joke, it means you’re truly okay. Thank god, if you hadn’t woken up, we all would have been worried sick.”
“You can survive a fall from a cliff with a bomb, so there’s no reason I can’t. Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Qin Mu didn’t want to burden her with any concern. He intentionally joked about it.
Wen Ran glanced at the porridge in Mother Qin’s hands and smiled, “You go ahead and eat. I’ll come see you later.”
Qin Mu turned his gaze to Mother Qin, their eyes meeting.
She then broke the silence, “Ranran, Ah Mu just ate some porridge. He just woke up and can’t eat too much. You two talk, Uncle Qin is waiting for me at home.”
After she said this, she stood up, cleaned up the bowl, and even took away the thermal lunch box in Gu Kai’s hand.
Just Gu Kai and Wen Ran were left in the ward with Qin Mu.
Gu Kai pulled out a chair for Wen Ran to sit on, and he sat on the edge of the bed.
“Qin Mu, thank you for saving me that day.”
Wen Ran thanked Qin Mu with a smile, her voice sincere, her gentle eyes looking at him.
Qin Mu chuckled, saying lightly, “I didn’t save you. It was Fu Jingyi who switched the timer bomb on you. If it weren’t for him, we would be on Netherworld Road now.”
Wen Ran pursed her lips, “That’s true. Fu Jingyi also saved me, but so did you.”
Qin Mu looked at her jokingly, determined to play dumb.
Under that circumstance, he didn’t think Wen Ran would have a clear mind.
To remember that he held her tightly at the critical moment, letting his body fall into the river first…
Wen Ran furrowed her brow but didn’t explain. She just firmly said, “In any case, you are my lifesaver, and I will always remember that.”
“Okay, if you say so, then I am.”
Qin Mu didn’t argue with her. His mouth curved into a slight smile, nodding gently.
As long as she was okay, everything would be fine.
Seeing his acknowledgment, Wen Ran gave a relieved smile, as if she had completed a mission.
She then inquired about his condition.
Qin Mu answered her casually, as if he had not hovered at the verge of death, but had merely suffered a minor illness.
“Qin Mu, now that you’re okay, I can finally go back to G City.”
The gentleness in Wen Ran’s voice showed no trace of sorrow or sadness.
From the moment she entered the ward till now, they had been deliberately avoiding some people and events.
Hearing this, Qin Mu’s eyes changed significantly. He frowned lightly, “Are you able to be discharged?”
Wen Ran responded with a smile, “Yes, I am perfectly fine now. If you hadn’t been unconscious and if my brother hadn’t stopped me, I would’ve already been discharged. Qin Mu, take care and recover well.”
A hint of sadness flashed across Qin Mu’s eyes.
When he looked up, his expression was still gentle, “Are you leaving for G City right after being discharged? Gu Kai, after returning to G City, have her undergo a complete examination again. After all, she jumped off a cliff.”
Speaking of which, it was not the first time Wen Ran jumped off a cliff, but the second time.
“Don’t worry, I have experience jumping off cliffs.”
As soon as Wen Ran’s words slipped out, she seemed to remember something, her facial expression stiffened a bit.
Gu Kai frowned, “Are you finding enjoyment in this? I warn you if there’s a next time, I won’t recognize you as my sister.”
His words timely dispelled the sadness that was rushing to Wen Ran’s heart.
She pretended to be scared, “I dare not, I dare not. I only got two brothers after so much difficulty, how could I court death.”
“That’s more like it.” Gu Kai snorted.
