Mo Xiuchen's eyes darkened a little, and he pursed his lips in thought.
The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed!
"Xiuchen, should we continue the investigation?"
Qin Mu couldn't hear his response, so he asked for his opinion.
It was obvious that Wen Ran's background had been deliberately concealed by Wen Hongrui back then, and he couldn't find out the truth in a short while.
"No need. You can come back first."
Mo Xiuchen hung up the phone and turned around. Seeing Wen Jin looking at him, a hint of profoundness flashed in his eyes. Across a few steps of distance, he met Wen Jin's gaze and said, "I haven't finished what I was saying just now."
Wen Jin looked at him sharply, waiting for him to continue.
"When I met Wen Ran at that banquet, I had a special feeling. I thought she was like the little girl I met when I was kidnapped. If it weren't for her saving me back then, I would have been dead long ago."
"Mr. Mo, are you not having a fever? When were you kidnapped? My sister has never met you before. How could she possibly be your savior?"
Wen Jin was startled and interrupted Mo Xiuchen's words coldly.
Mo Xiuchen's eyes narrowed sharply, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile with an unclear meaning: "Is that so? Then why have I heard rumors that Wen Ran is not your biological sister?"
As soon as he said this, Wen Jin's face changed drastically. His body, which had been leaning against the pillow, suddenly sat up straight. He didn't even notice that this movement pulled at his wound. His usually gentle eyes stared at Mo Xiuchen fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense. Ranran is my biological sister from the same parents."
Mo Xiuchen raised his eyebrows indifferently. "Really? If Wen Ran is your biological sister from the same parents, why would you, as her elder brother, be so eager to break up her marriage at every turn?"
Wen Jin's face turned slightly pale due to the pain of the wound, and a thin layer of sweat faintly appeared on the bandage on his forehead. The shock in his heart was hard to calm down. Although Mo Xiuchen said he heard it from rumors, he knew it was not that simple.
No one knew his sister's background, and there couldn't possibly be such rumors.
Unless he had investigated it!
What on earth was his purpose in investigating his sister...
"You don't look well. Does your wound hurt again? I'll call a doctor to check on you."
Although Mo Xiuchen was dissatisfied with Wen Jin's previous proposal, seeing his pale face and the sweat on his forehead, he still asked with concern.
"Don't worry. I won't die!"
Wen Jin said through gritted teeth. Not only would he live well, but he would also recover as soon as possible to protect his sister and prevent anyone from hurting her.
"Believe it or not, I have no ill intentions towards Wen Ran, and I won't let go of her for any reason."
Mo Xiuchen said coldly and turned towards the door.
Wen Jin's eyes changed slightly. Looking at his proud departing figure, he tightly pursed his lips.
***
Two minutes later, Mo Xiuchen returned to the ward with a doctor to examine Wen Jin.
Only after confirming that Wen Jin was fine did he let the doctor leave the ward.
"You just woke up a few days ago. Don't worry too much. If you become a vegetable again, Wen Ran will cry for you every day."
There was no sign of concern in Mo Xiuchen's cold words. Wen Jin seemed to be used to his tone and no longer let his emotions be affected by him.
He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "No matter where you heard what you just said, I hope you won't spread it. I can't go back to work in the company for a short time. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, it will hurt Ranran."
Mo Xiuchen calmly met his inquiring gaze and said unhurriedly, "Wen Ran is my wife, and of course I will protect her."
The implication was that as long as Wen Jin didn't have any improper thoughts, he would keep the secret forever. But if he still wanted Wen Ran to divorce him, then he couldn't guarantee...
Although Wen Jin was angry, before he was sure how much the truth Mo Xiuchen knew, he didn't dare to do anything to him. He just snorted coldly, retracted his gaze, and stopped looking at him.
At half past five, when Wen Ran got off work, she saw Mo Xiuchen waiting outside the factory gate.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his tall and straight body. Half of his face was bathed in golden light, and the other half was shrouded in shadow. His already handsome facial features became even more profound and three-dimensional. When he saw her, the corners of his thin lips lifted slightly, and a sexy and charming smile appeared on his lips.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Wen Ran had seen him smile a lot these days, but every time she saw his perfectly charming smile, her heart couldn't help but beat faster.
"No, I just arrived a moment ago. Get in the car."
As Mo Xiuchen said this, he opened the car door. Wen Ran gave him a smile in return and bent down to get into the car.
"I just came back from the hospital. You don't need to go and see your brother anymore."
After getting in the car, Mo Xiuchen turned slightly to look at Wen Ran and explained lightly.
Wen Ran looked at him in surprise: "You were at the hospital just now. Did my brother look for you?"
"Why do you ask that?"
Mo Xiuchen didn't answer but asked instead, and a smile flashed in his eyes as he looked at her.
Wen Ran couldn't find any clues from his expression. She pursed her lips and said softly, "The night my brother woke up, he asked me about you and me. He said he would rather the company go bankrupt than... Mo Xiuchen, what did my brother say to you?"
"If he asked you to divorce me, would you listen to him?"
The smile in Mo Xiuchen's eyes faded, and a hint of seriousness appeared between his eyebrows. He looked at her deeply and asked word by word.
He didn't know why, but he just wanted to hear her thoughts and the answer from her mouth. Would she keep her promise, or would she be eager to get rid of him once she had her brother's support?
Wen Ran's eyes suddenly widened, and her voice was a little urgent: "Did my brother say that we should divorce?"
After she finished speaking, as if thinking of something, she subconsciously shook her head and explained, "My brother has that thought because he loves me too much. Don't worry. I said before that unless you propose a divorce, we will always be husband and wife. I won't go back on my word. I'll go to the hospital right now to explain to my brother."
After saying this, she turned around and reached for the car door.
"No need!"
Mo Xiuchen's deep voice sounded in her ear, and his powerful hand suddenly grabbed her wrist. Wen Ran was pulled around by his strength and looked into his deep eyes like a pool.
Mo Xiuchen pursed his thin lips slightly. Looking into her eyes, he said in a deep voice, "I've already refused him. He won't mention this matter again in the short term."
Wen Ran blinked in confusion. Based on her understanding of her brother, he was the kind of person who wouldn't change his mind easily once he made a decision. How could he give up so easily on the idea of having her divorce Mo Xiuchen?
What on earth did they talk about?
Mo Xiuchen's gaze moved away from her clear eyes and landed on her pursed red lips. His heart stirred inexplicably. His Adam's apple rolled, and suddenly he pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Wen Ran hadn't reacted yet. Her thoughts were still on what he had just said. Suddenly, her lips felt hot, and the familiar male scent filled her nostrils. Her heart suddenly tightened!
