Chapter 525: 524 Guess

The phone rang twice, and Gu Kai’s voice came through, “Hello, Xiuchen.”

“Ah Kai, I have some good news for you.”

Mo Xiuchen’s mouth hooked into a sexy smile, his deep and joyful voice making Gu Kai’s heart skip a beat, “What good news?”

“Ranran has returned, and she accepted to stay.”

Mo Xiuchen gazed towards the direction of the bathroom, where the woman of his heart was taking a shower. Tonight, she would stay by his side like always, falling asleep nestled in his arms.

“Really? When did she return? You guys… didn’t you decide to divorce? Why did she accept to stay, what does she mean?”

Gu Kai asked in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Mo Xiuchen chuckled lightly, seeming genuinely happy. His gaze moved away from the bathroom door, unconsciously landing on the burning cigarette between his fingers. He spoke leisurely:

“Initially, I had accepted her wish to divorce. However, in these past few days, the more I thought about it, the more something felt off. Tonight, under the pretext of signing the divorce agreement, I called her back. Eventually, she agreed to reconsider and accepted to stay.”

“Where is she now?”

Gu Kai frowned, realizing that Ranran had been manipulated by Mo Xiuchen. Mo Xiuchen had always been cunning, and their marriage was a calculated move from the beginning. Luckily, Wen Ran was indeed the girl he had been searching for years. Otherwise, Wen Ran’s love for him couldn’t possibly be a blessing.

“She’s taking a shower. I am in the study room making this call. Have my test results come out yet?”

The joy in Mo Xiuchen’s voice was palpable, as if the whole man had sprung back to life. As Gu Kai listened, his brows furrowed deeper, “Not yet, it might come out tomorrow.”

“So slow, when it was Ranran’s turn, the results were out within a day, right?”

Mo Xiuchen seemed not to care, concealing his doubts within his casualness.

“Ranran’s case was urgent, yours wasn’t.”

Gu Kai’s response was matter-of-fact, pretending not to understand the insinuation in his words.

Mo Xiuchen lightly laughed, changing the subject, “Ah Kai, did Ranran tell you anything that I don’t know, or is there something you know but unwilling to tell me? Ranran and I are a couple, thus I have the right to know everything about her. Besides, you are my good friend, as well as Ranran’s biological brother, obviously you know what’s best for her, right?”

“Don’t try to confuse me. What you know, I know.”

Gu Kai’s voice sounded somewhat impatient. He didn’t want to continue talking with Mo Xiuchen, who was overly cunning and sharp. It had only been a few days, and he had already realized the truth. Moreover, his tone seemed to indicate that he intended to settle old scores.

“Really? I think not necessarily. You are a doctor, there are many things that I will not understand if you don’t explain.”

Mo Xiuchen didn’t mind his impatience, his tone remained as laid back as ever.

“I think you are just too delighted now. I am very tired after a long day and almost ready to fall apart. I just want to sleep now. We can talk about other things another day.” Gu Kai finished and was about to hang up, but before he could, Mo Xiuchen let out a cold laugh and his tone suddenly changed:

“Ah Kai, you can run, but you can’t hide forever. Even if you don’t tell me, I will eventually find the answer. If I’m not wrong, the reason that Ranran insists on divorcing me is not that she can’t bear children, or that she does not have much time left. Instead, it’s the virus planted in her by Fu Jingyi, which might spread to me in some way, am I right?”

“You really have an active imagination, I am really tired and don’t want to bicker with you.”

Gu Kai’s voice on the phone sounded subtly unusual. With his reply, he didn’t give Mo Xiuchen a chance to respond further, and hung up immediately.

Mo Xiuchen threw the burned-out cigarette into the ashtray, leaned back into his chair, furrowing his brows, deep in thought.

Regardless of Wen Ran’s nervousness and fear tonight, or Gu Kai’s evasion and impatience just now, they both proved that his guess should be correct.

Just he still didn’t know the specifics.

If the venom in Ranran’s body really could transmit to him in some way, then the method was not hard to guess – it must be when they made love.

After it transmitted to him, he could be sure of one thing – he was not just helping her eliminate the “poison”.

Previously, Gu Yan told him that the ‘virus’ planted by Fu Jingyi in Wen Ran’s body would attack no later than when she turns twenty-five… Eventually, she would forget everyone, including herself.

In addition to memory loss, all her internal organs would start to fail…

If she could transfer the virus in her body to him, she herself would be cured…

His deep gaze suddenly narrowed, and he straightened his body on the chair. His previous guess replayed in his mind, could this possibility exist?

Mo Xiuchen felt his heartbeat accelerate in that moment, thudding against his eardrums like it were about to burst from his chest the next second, or even the next.

This possibility was not baseless, in fact, it was likely. If it were true, his eyes suddenly brightened and his hands hanging loosely at his sides abruptly clenched into fists.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Earlier, he had attempted to make Wen Ran confess using that method, but all he got in return were her tears and despair. At that thought, his heart severely clenched again. Could her despair be due to this reason?

Taking a deep breath, he got up, left the study, and stopped at the bathroom door. Knocking gently on the closed bathroom door, his deep voice, soft and gentle, escaped through his thin lips, “Ranran, have you finished yet?”

“Almost done!”

Wen Ran was soaking in the tub mulling over things, when she heard the knocking sound, her heart inexplicably started fluttering. When she entered the bathroom earlier, Mo Xiuchen had already gone to the study so she didn’t lock the bathroom door. Worried that he would come in, she replied and immediately got up. But whether due to soaking for too long and feeling weak, or simply losing her balance, she slipped and fell to the ground.

“Ranran, what happened?”

From outside, Mo Xiuchen heard the noise from inside, his handsome face changed drastically. Worried, he called out and without caring whether Wen really allowed him in or not, he rushed forward, scooped her up, and looked anxiously at her. “Ranran, how are you, where did you hurt yourself? Tell me, does any part hurts?”

“No, I am fine.”

Naked and being held in his arms, Wen Ran’s face flushed alternately with red and white. Thankfully, when she fell, her arms had bared the shock, saving her from hitting the bathtub. Now, the only pain she felt was in her hands.
