Chapter 357: 356 You should just watch me

“It’s you who didn’t want me to look, saying it will distract your driving.”

Wen Ran opened her eyes and protested discontentedly.

“You might as well keep watching me, at least, it’s better than you closing your eyes.”

Mo Xiuchen sighed. She was more distracting when her eyes were shut.

“Okay, I’ll keep you company. Xiuchen, you aren’t nervous about the medical exam later, are you?”

Wen Ran looked at his hand gripping the steering wheel. It seemed like he was putting a lot of effort into it.

“How could I be?”

Mo Xiuchen gave a laugh. However, this laughter looked somewhat unnatural and forced to Wen Ran, making her heart tighten slightly.

“Xiuchen, I feel that something is off about Little Liu helping Tong Shishi with her mother’s funeral arrangements.”

Wen Ran introduced a change of topic.

“You think so too?”

Mo Xiuchen’s lips curled into a gentle smile as he looked tenderly at Wen Ran.

Wen Ran raised her eyebrows thoughtfully. “Hmm, I think, Liu seems like he’s contradicting himself, struggling. Did Tong Shishi say something to him again? Mo Zixuan could never get involved with her again after what happened, but Liu seems to be helping her without any regard for past grievances.”

“Not every woman is easily moved.”

Mo Xiuchen concluded lightly.

Even if Tong Shishi really did say something to Little Liu, he wouldn’t believe it.

Her past actions are obvious and just the other day, Ranran mentioned what Tong Shishi said to her in the restroom that night.

“I know. But does Little Liu know?”

Wen Ran was worried that Little Liu was too honest. If Tong Shishi proposed to start over, he might agree, given his genuine feelings for her.

The thing about feelings is, there’s no rhyme or reason. Even if the whole world finds her unsuitable, he will believe that she’s good!

Mo Xiuchen’s gaze followed a complex thought, then he fell silent. His voice quietly rose, “If Little Liu wants to do so, we can’t stop him. It’s only when he gets hurt himself, will he know to turn back.”

“Poor Little Liu.”

Wen Ran sighed lightly. Little Liu is so honest; he’s just not a match for Tong Shishi.

“He needs to be taken advantage of to wise up, stop worrying about him. Let him do as he pleases.”

After what happened with Cheng Jia, Mo Xiuchen did not want to make decisions for Little Liu anymore. He figured as long as he was around, the worst Tong Shishi could do was cheat him out of some money or feelings. If she went too far, then he would step in to stop her.

“That’s really the only option. If we interfere with his feelings all the time, even if he doesn’t air his objections, he’ll still be uncomfortable with it.”

Everyone wants to make their own decisions, especially in matters of the heart. Even if parents or relatives meddle, it wouldn’t be appropriate. Initially when Mo Xiuchen suggested that Liu and Cheng Jia be together, he already made a decision on his behalf.

“Ranran, time to get out of the car!”

The Aston pulled into Kangning Hospital’s designated parking spot. Mo Xiuchen got out of the car and personally opened the door for Wen Ran, his brows knitted in a smile as he watched her.

Wen Ran got out of the car with a smile, taking his arm with her hand. With shared smiles, they headed towards the hospital’s main entrance.

Mo Xiuchen was feeling genuinely nervous.

However, this nervousness was not for himself, but for Ranran.

At the entrance of the hospital, doctors Gu Kai and Shen Yuting were waiting. Seeing them walking over, hurt flashed through Shen Yuting’s eyes, quickly hidden by a brilliant smile.

“Yuting, I’ll leave Ranran to you.”

Gu Kai’s voice was low as he whispered instructions.

After Shen Yuting left his office yesterday, he hesitated for a long time. He intended to find an excuse to get her out of the hospital today. But his father, Gu Yan, felt Yuting was a woman with a strong sense of self-esteem, and asking her to leave might upset her.

If it backfires, it could make things even worse.

So, better to leave Ranran with her.

Gu Kai thought his father made sense, so he ditched the idea of having Shen Yuting leave the hospital for the day, opting to wait by the entrance with her for Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran instead.

“Ranran, you’re finally here. The cousin and I have been standing here in the cold winds for over ten minutes.”

Shen Yuting walked over and took Wen Ran’s hand. Her other hand, which was previously linked with Mo Xiuchen’s arm, slid away as she greeted them cheerfully: “Sister Ting, Older Brother Gu, you didn’t need to wait here. We’d have been able to find the place ourselves.”

“It was the cousin, he was worried. He insisted we personally greet you as you are important people.”

Shen Yuting joked. Her eyes unintentionally landed on Mo Xiuchen. He was looking at Wen Ran, seemingly not feeling her gaze at all. A pang of bitterness arose in her heart.

“Ranran, you’ll go with Yuting for your check. Xiuchen, I’ve got him.”

Gu Kai winked at Wen Ran, which seemed to say that she didn’t need to worry. With him there, he would make sure Mo Xiuchen receives a thorough examination, without missing a thing.

Wen Ran nodded with a smile. “Thank you, Older Brother Gu.”

The main reason she suggested getting a check-up in the first place was to trick Mo Xiuchen into coming to the hospital. Now that the check-up was about to happen, she felt a little anxious. She looked at Mo Xiuchen’s handsome face, forcing herself to smile brightly. “Xiuchen, once you’re done, call me.”

“Mhm, hurry up and go. I’ll call you later.”

Mo Xiuchen cherished Wen Ran’s caring gesture and felt empathy for her.

“Ranran, let’s go.”

As Shen Yuting and Wen Ran left, her gaze swept over Mo Xiuchen once again. From beginning to end, he never lingered on her for more than a second. His attention was completely focused on Wen Ran.

She couldn’t quite describe how she felt.

“Ranran, why is the MS Group getting medical checkups along with Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory?”

Shen Yuting casually asked after walking a few meters with Wen Ran.

Wen Ran chuckled lightly, “I proposed it. Many employees in our factory look up to the handsome men and beautiful women of the MS Group. I thought, if they could have a chance to gather, even if it was just to meet, the interaction could lead to relationships and we might even get some couples.”

Shen Yuting burst out laughing, “Ranran, you’re interested in matchmaking too? But you’re right, the MS Group is full of young people, the men are handsome, and the women beautiful.”

“Exactly, it’s just pity that we missed one today.”

Wen Ran sincerely hoped that this medical check-up could match some single men and women from the factory and the MS Group. Then, she’d feel accomplished.

“Who did we miss?”

Shen Yuting asked in confusion, looking at Wen Ran attentively.

“Qin Mu!”

Wen Ran answered with a cheeky smile. “Qin Mu has visited our factory the most. Sister Ting, you wouldn’t know, every time he goes to our factory, I trick him into walking around the workshop. The female workers become so energetic when they see him, as if they’ve had a shot in the arm!”

“Haha, I wonder if Qin Mu knows the effect he has.”

Shen Yuting couldn’t imagine the reaction of Qin Mu, known for his cold demeanor, when faced with the adoring gazes of numerous women.
