Chapter 721: How did Mo Xiuchen know your number?

Wen Ran blinked lightly and replied with a smile, “It’s Xiaoxiao, she’s going with me to the countryside to plant trees tomorrow. Having someone to do the hard work makes me happy, doesn’t it?”

“Haha, well said, someone to do the hard work is indeed a reason to be happy. Since Bai Xiaoxiao is going, why not invite Ah Feng as well? Then, you can be the boss and direct them.”

Gu Kai’s willingness to sacrifice his friends to make Ranran happy is on par with Mo Xiuchen’s.

Wen Ran raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Gu Kai’s calculating smile, and spoke lightly: “Brother, you’ll take care of this. With Xiaoxiao there, Luo Haofeng will be diligent without my orders.”

“Fine, I’ll call Ah Feng now.”

Gu Kai pulled out his phone and dialed Luo Haofeng’s number. Moments later, he said disappointedly, “The line’s busy. I’ll try again later.”

“That’s okay, brother. Go take a shower first. Luo Haofeng is probably talking to Xiaoxiao on the phone.”

Wen Ran’s gaze swept his shirt. On the corner of the garment, there was a dried blood stain.

It must have gotten there when he was rescuing the patient earlier in the night.

He called home tonight to say that there had been a car accident on a certain stretch of highway, with several victims sent to their hospital.

Moreover, there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

Being a doctor is the hardest.

His daily work is not calculated by the hour, but by the patient. Sometimes he performs two or three surgeries in a day, sometimes a single surgery can last over ten hours…

Gu Kai smiled slightly, his eyes tenderly looking at Wen Ran, he pursed his lips and whispered: “Ranran, I received a call from Professor Brown tonight.”

Wen Ran looked at Wen Jin in confusion, waiting for him to continue.

“Professor Brown told me that he had received a call from Mo Xiuchen before.”

Gu Kai’ voice was slow as he carefully observed Wen Ran’s expression.

“Xiuchen asked him for my phone number.”

Wen Ran stared wide-eyed in astonishment as Gu Kai explained: “When Xiuchen woke up after surgery, I was the first person he saw. He didn’t recognize me at the time. Later, I told him my name. Presumably, he wanted my number to learn about his past from me.”

Upon hearing these words, Wen Ran’s calm heart suddenly felt like a hurricane had swept through it, everything was in disarray.

She subconsciously tightened her lips and lowered her gaze, her eyes fixed on the quilt in front of her.

She asked hesitantly, “Did Professor Brown tell him?”

Gu Kai’s hand reached for her head.

Gently ruffling her hair, he said gently: “No, Professor Brown told Xiuchen at the time that he didn’t know my number. However…”

Gu Kai stopped here, his expression becoming serious, his gaze on Wen Ran more earnest.

Wen Ran felt a tightness in her heart. She blinked her eyes and looked at him: “Brother, however what?”

“When he called me, Xiuchen had just left his office.”

Wen Ran felt her heart racing uncontrollably at hearing this.

Her voice slightly altered as she asked, “Brother, did Xiuchen go to the hospital to find Professor Brown? Wasn’t he in G City? Did he go back to D Country?”

“Yes, Xiuchen went back to D Country and personally went to the hospital to find Professor Brown.”

Gu Kai squinted his eyes and suddenly asked, “Ranran, has Xiuchen called you?”

At his words, Wen Ran immediately turned pale.

She was utterly shocked.

Did Mo Xiuchen go to Professor Brown to confirm whether he knew about the number he had dialed on that day?

At this thought, her nose prickled and her eyes moistened.

Seeing her emotional change, a knot formed in Gu Kai’s heart.

His voice grew even softer: “Ranran, it seems that Xiuchen did call you, didn’t he?”

Wen Ran tightened her lips, remaining silent.

She didn’t dare to say anything, fearing that she would break down.

However, not voicing it out didn’t alleviate her pain. She was the only one who knew how much it hurt.

These days, she often thought back to that brief phone call.

Mo Xiuchen’s voice, crossing the Pacific Ocean, carried his confusion after memory loss and the loneliness in his heart.

That low voice was like a heavy hammer slamming into her heart, causing her to gasp for breath.

If she felt somewhat upset before about Cheng Jia having her swear that she and Mo Xiuchen had been intimate, that upset and doubt vanished when she heard Mo Xiuchen’s bewildered voice.

It made her resent her distrust in him.

Even if Xiuchen had lost his memory, she should have faith that he would never betray her.

Among the photos that Cheng Jia had sent her, besides the first one which was taken while she was feeding Mo Xiuchen, the rest were all solo pictures of him.

This proved that Cheng Jia hadn’t got what she wished for yet.

Now, Xiuchen went to find Professor Brown with her phone number in hand to inquire.

This demonstrated even more clearly that Mo Xiuchen held no affection or trust for Cheng Jia.

If he had trusted Cheng Jia or had feelings for her, he wouldn’t have gone behind her back to find Professor Brown and tried to get his past back on his own.

The more she thought about it, the sharper her heartache became.

She knew the man she dearly loved was desperately searching, yet she was unable to clue him in due to the oath she had made.

The pain of this was beyond anyone else’s understanding.

Seeing her holding back tears, Gu Kai’s heart tightened.

His voice softened even more: “Ranran, if you don’t want to talk about it, it’s fine. I was honestly shocked when I heard Professor Brown say on the phone that Xiuchen had asked about your number.”

He spoke with a hint of confusion in his tone: “What amazed me was how Xiuchen knew your number. If he found it after returning to China this time, he should have come straight to you. But he clearly doesn’t know about his previous marriage yet, let alone your existence.”

Afterwards, he introduced Cheng Jia as Mo Xiuchen’s fiancée.

He didn’t tell him that he had been married once before. Therefore, Mo Xiuchen was still in the dark.

Excluding the fact that he knows about Wen Ran.

He seems to have no other way to get Wen Ran’s number. That’s what had shocked Gu Kai.

Could it be that even after forgetting about everyone and everything else, Xiuchen could still remember things related to Wen Ran and her phone number?

If that were the case, would it not mean that he would definitely find Ran Ran again and fall in love with her anew?

The thought exhilarated Gu Kai.

Wen Ran managed to pull a smile on her face and said softly, “That number… he didn’t only find out about it after coming back to China. He called me the afternoon I went to visit Fu Jingyi.”

“What?”

Gu Kai looked at Wen Ran in surprise, she pursed her lips as if reminiscing.

Her voice echoed faintly in the bedroom, “When he called, it was probably around four in the morning in D Country. He said that he dreamt of a number and just tried to dial it, then asked me if I know him.”
