Chapter 788: 787 I see heart disease
A mont later, the door opened.
Wen Ran stood inside the door, her eyes reddened.
Mo Xiuchen looked at her intensely, raised his hand, but never reached out to wipe her tears. Instead, he handed her the keys.
Wen Ran silently accepted the car keys, lowered her eyelashes, and avoided Mo Xiuchen’s caring gaze.
“Ranran, give so ti, I will sort out things from the past.”
At his words, Wen Ran, who had been bowing her head, suddenly raised it again. There was panic and astonishnt in her eyes. She wanted to say sothing, but changed her words at the last mont: “Xiuchen, forget the past if you have forgotten it. There’s no need to deliberately recall it. As long as you’re doing well now, nothing else matters.”
...
Wen Ran’s voice was soft and calm, but every word was a heartfelt concern, which easily touched Mo Xiuchen’s heart.
Mo Xiuchen was fully aware of his feelings, a mix of emotion and heartache. Seeing the calm woman in front of him say these words, although less lodramatic than Cheng Jia’s declarations of ‘I love you’, it gave him a strong urge to pull her into his arms and comfort her gently.
Indeed, he stretched out his hand towards her.
But Wen Ran was cautious. As he reached out, she took half a step back, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and she murmured, “Xiuchen, you should go ho.”
“Okay!”
Mo Xiuchen didn’t want to upset her. After a lingering glance at her, he turned and left.
Wen Ran didn’t close the door, standing there in the doorway, watching him walk into the elevator with a reluctant gaze. As the elevator door closed, her vision blurred.
It’s not that she didn’t want to be with him, but she couldn’t.
She couldn’t overco her own inner struggle, fearful that if she broke her vow, all those words could beco true…
She closed the door, ran to the window, stood behind the curtain, watching Mo Xiuchen hail a taxi at the roadside. Just before getting in, he turned his head and looked up at the building.
With just one glance, he bent over and got into the car, and the taxi drove away, leaving a trail of dust.

On the way to the airport, Cheng Jia called, but Mo Xiuchen didn’t answer and turned off his phone directly.
At the airport, he bought a ticket for the earliest flight. Before boarding, Mo Xiuchen turned on his phone and, after so hesitation, sent a text to Wen Ran, then turned off his phone.
“Master, that guy texted you again.”
The ssage notification sounded, but Wen Ran was already at Haochen’s place.
After Mo Xiuchen left, she had composed herself. Feeling bored at ho, she decided to go to office.
When she got out of the elevator, she ran into Qin Mu. He was about to go downstairs with a file. He was slightly surprised when he saw Wen Ran coming out of the elevator. His gaze lingered briefly on her face, then smiled and asked, “Ranran, why are you back at the company? Didn’t I say you should take a day off today?”
Wen Ran forced a smile, a strained one and said, “There’s nothing wrong with , why should I take a day off? I should go to work. Working inconsistently is really not my style.”
“Has Xiuchen left?”
Qin Mu, with a probing look, quickly turned gentle again.
Although she hid it well, he felt her sadness and asked with concern.
Wen Ran slightly hung her eyes and when she lifted them, a faint smile erged on her attractive face. Just as she was about to speak, the ssage ringtone sounded.
The smile on her face faltered.
“Since you’re here, go to your office and start working. I need to leave for a while.”
Qin Mu’s gaze swept over the handbag in her hand, finished speaking, and pressed the elevator button reluctantly. While talking to her earlier, he had missed the elevator.
Wen Ran replied ‘okay’, said nothing else, didn’t check her phone for the ssage but walked away swiftly.
When she returned to her office, she took out her phone to check.
“Ranran, I’m about to board.”
Wen Ran stared at the ssage for a mont, didn’t reply, but put the phone in the drawer, turned on the computer, and started to work.

In G City, Kangning Hospital.
The cab stopped outside Kangning Hospital, Mo Xiuchen paid the fare, and got out of the car.
Instead of imdiately entering the hospital, he stood in his place, glanced at the large letters of the hospital na, and thought for a mont. His mind was blank, with no mory related to Kangning Hospital.
Mo Xiuchen frowned in frustration, took a long stride into the hospital, and just in ti saw Gu Kai and Wen Jin coming out of the elevator.
Gu Kai was speaking to Wen Jin, gesturing with his hands, his eyes naturally focused on Wen Jin.
Wen Jin was looking ahead, and at a glance, he saw Mo Xiuchen entering the hospital. A surprised expression flashed in his eyes, and he signaled Gu Kai with his eyes.
Upon seeing Mo Xiuchen, Gu Kai was initially taken aback, then he raised his handso eyebrows, smiled, and greeted him, “Xiuchen, what brings you to the hospital today? Are you unwell?”
Hearing Gu Kai’s words, Wen Jin’s mouth twitched.
Mo Xiuchen squinted his eyes, raised a aningful smile on the corners of his lips, scanned Wen Jin, who ca two seconds later, and said lightly, “I’m here to treat a heart disease.”
“Heart disease, what’s wrong with your heart?” Gu Kai cursed inwardly, but the smile on his handso face remained the sa.
“Heart, ache,” Mo Xiuchen said slowly, staring at Gu Kai with sharp, narrow eyes, word by word: “I went to City C yesterday, just returned from Ranran’s place.”
At his words, he was satisfied to see the smile on Gu Kai’s face freeze, his expressions changing rapidly was extrely entertaining.
He also didn’t ignore the observations he made of the man beside him — from the corner of his eye —Wyatt’s expressions changes were not missed either.
Gu Kai hadn’t expected that Mo Xiuchen would have made a trip to City C yesterday and was returning just now from Ranran’s place. Yesterday, today, it seems that he must have stayed a night in City C.
“Ah Kai, won’t you invite to your office for a sit?”
Mo Xiuchen was up to no good. He didn’t give Gu Kai the opportunity to refuse. Pausing for a mont, he added, “You don’t need to worry, I’m here to see a doctor.”
Gu Kai’s mouth twitched fiercely.
Who the hell did he think he was?
Without even getting a consent from him, the doctor, Mo Xiuchen, a patient without a sense of being a patient, had already walked to the elevator, pressed the elevator button, turned around, and looked at Gu Kai and Wen Jin with deep eyes, not urging them.
Gu Kai frowned, asked Wen Jin at his side, “Ah Jin, do you want to go back upstairs?”
Wen Jin turned his head to look at the man standing in front of the elevator. He was tall and upright, seemingly harmless but was domineering and scheming, exuding a strong oppressive aura. Wen Jin’s thin lips tightened and with action answered Gu Kai’s question — whether he’d stay or go.
Seeing him walk towards Mo Xiuchen, Gu Kai slightly hooked the corner of his lips, stepped forward, and just as the elevator arrived, Mo Xiuchen gave them a glance and stepped inside.
Once inside the elevator, Gu Kai pressed the floor number button and asked the handso man next to him, “Did you go to City C specifically to see Ranran?”
