Chapter 849: Don’t compare any woman to yourself.
That afternoon was Wen Ran’s happiest in recent months.
It was also the day Mo Xiuchen, since his amnesia, felt the most blissful and joyful. Wen Ran introduced him to her flower seedlings and fruit trees, and Mo Xiuchen gently promised to co pick fruit with her here every year.
As the sun set, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran went inside to cook.
Rembering the last ti he cut his hand while cooking, Wen Ran’s heart tightened, and she involuntarily glanced at his finger.
Noticing her gaze linger on his left finger, the perceptively attentive Mo Xiuchen’s eyes flickered, and he lifted his hand to look: “Ranran, why are you staring at my hand? Could it be… you want to eat my flesh?”
Wen Ran laughed, her eyes curving into crescents as she spoke: “Yeah, you even cut the at for last ti. I’m addicted now; I want more.”
...
“Addicted, Ranran? You sure have a unique taste,” Mo Xiuchen chuckled as he held his hand up to her mouth, “Here, bite wherever you like.”
“Get out of here, I’m not a dog to just bite like that.” Wen Ran playfully cursed, raised her hand, and smacked his larger one.
Mo Xiuchen quickly seized her little hand and tightened his grip; unprepared, Wen Ran lost her balance and fell into his embrace. Mo Xiuchen looked down at her, his gaze deep as he purposefully lowered his voice, “Ranran, then let be the one eaten.”
Wen Ran’s face flushed, and her eyes suddenly widened in shock.
“Ranran, I want to kiss you again.”
Seeing her face turn red and her shifty eyes avoiding his own, Mo Xiuchen’s heart fluttered, and he couldn’t resist teasing her. His handso features closed in on hers, leaving but inches between them.
Their breaths tangled together.
The air filled with ambiguous suggestions, and Wen Ran’s heartbeat accelerated: “Xiuchen, stop fooling around.”
“Haha, Ranran, why are you so shy?”
Mo Xiuchen’s laughter was clear and joyful; after he finished laughing, he released her, “I’ll cook for you.”
Wen Ran touched her burning cheeks and countered: “I’m not as thick-skinned as you. I’ll do the cooking; you’ve already had my cooking before. Today, you can taste my culinary skills.”
“Really, Ranran?”
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes lit up.
He rembered that day, Gu Kai had ntioned Ranran learned to cook for his sake.
Wen Ran raised her eyebrows, speaking cheerfully: “Of course, it’s true. Why don’t you go upstairs and rest for a while? I’ll call you when the food’s ready.”
“Ranran, I’m not sleepy. You’ll sleep with tonight,” Mo Xiuchen replied, his eyes carrying a hint of sothing different, his words lingering in Wen Ran’s ears with a touch of seduction.
“Hurry up and get out,” Wen Ran said, her annoyance mixed with embarrassnt as she pushed him. Mo Xiuchen let out a hearty laugh, allowing her to push him out of the kitchen. He sat down on the living room couch, languidly leaning back into the cushions, finding a comfortable position to enjoy the slender silhouette in the kitchen.

G City, Kangning Hospital
By the ti Gu Kai finished his shift, it was already eight o’clock.
Walking to the parking lot, his eyes inadvertently caught a sowhat familiar figure getting into a car about ten ters to the left. At this ti of sumr, the sky hadn’t completely darkened, and his eyes suddenly narrowed in the fading twilight.
After a mont’s hesitation, he got into his car as well.
Watching the other car hit the road, Gu Kai unhesitatingly followed, maintaining a not-too-close, not-too-distant gap behind the white sedan.
The woman ahead was unaware that she was being followed. Ten minutes later, she parked at a shopping mall, got out of her car, and entered the mall to shop.
Gu Kai sat in his car, watching her enter the mall from afar. She had gained quite a bit of weight since he last saw her.
A sharp arc curled at the corner of his mouth. The last ti he was at this mall, he was mistaken for a rogue who harassed won. Today, he was determined to settle the score and see if she dared to call him a scoundrel again like last ti.
As he was about to open the door and get out of the car, Gu Kai’s phone rang.
He frowned slightly, pulled out his phone, and saw the caller ID before pressing the answer button, “Hello.”
“Ah Kai, are you working late tonight? Want to grab a drink together?” Wen Jin’s cheerful voice ca through the phone.
Gu Kai got out of the car and casually closed the door, “I’m not free tonight, how about tomorrow.”
After speaking, he hung up the phone and strode towards the mall. When he reached the entrance, Gu Kai suddenly halted.
His handso eyebrows furrowed as he asked himself, Gu Kai, what are you doing?
What’s the point of picking a fight with a woman? Besides, that woman is Fu Jingyi’s daughter. Thinking of this, his lips tightened, and he turned and went back to his car.
He dialed Wen Jin’s number, “Ah Jin, et at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion in half an hour.”
“Weren’t you busy?” Wen Jin asked, confused on the other side of the line.
Gu Kai placed one hand on the steering wheel, a cool and distant expression forming between his brows, “I was busy just now, but I’m free now. I’ll buy you a drink.”
“Great!” Wen Jin didn’t know what was going on with him, but if he was treating, she was more than happy to accept.

In a fresh-aired countryside villa.
Crystal lamp light shone on the two people at the dinner table, their surroundings filled with the sweet aroma of warmth and affection.
Mo Xiuchen swallowed the food in his mouth, smiling at the woman sitting opposite him, “Ranran, why aren’t you eating?”
“I like watching you eat.”
Wen Ran’s eyes curved as she gazed at him. The way this man ate was too appealing; she couldn’t bear to look away.
The deep pools of Mo Xiuchen’s eyes twinkled, his gaze gentle as he quietly asked, “Ranran, have you said sothing like this before?”
Wen Ran was initially startled, then her eyes brightened with joy as she asked, “Mo Xiuchen, have you rembered?”
Seeing her delight, the corners of Mo Xiuchen’s mouth lifted in a smile as he spoke calmly, “I haven’t rembered.” He paused for a mont, then served Wen Ran so food into her bowl, “Back in D Country, once I overheard Cheng Jia say this, and at the ti I felt it was familiar, as if soone had said the sa thing to .”
Wen Ran nodded, “I’ve said it to you before, but clearly, I’m not the only one who enjoys watching you eat.”
“Ranran, are you jealous?” Mo Xiuchen’s eyes narrowed, but Wen Ran imdiately shook her head, “There’s nothing tasty about jealousy; I eat the als I cook myself.”
“Haha, Ranran, I’m glad you’re jealous for . But I need to clarify, I’ve really had nothing to do with Cheng Jia. To , she’s just a babysitter.”
“Then if I cook for you, am I equivalent to a babysitter?” Wen Ran pouted slightly, seemingly intent on giving this man a hard ti.
She wouldn’t admit her jealousy out loud, but inside, she felt sowhat uncomfortable.
Every ti Mo Xiuchen ntioned Cheng Jia, it made her feel uneasy. Perhaps it was a common ailnt among won; Wen Ran wasn’t a saint, but rather an ordinary, plain young woman, and she felt jealous too.
Mo Xiuchen watched her feign anger, his smile growing even brighter with pleasure, his voice clear and pleasant as it flowed past his lips, “Ranran, you’re not my babysitter; you’re my wife, the woman I love most in my life. From now on, don’t compare yourself with any other woman.”
