Chapter 977: 976 Ready at any ti Chapter 977: 976 Ready at any ti Wen Ran’s eyes softened with a touch of warmth. She felt that even if she reached her seventies or eighties, hearing such words from him would still fill her heart with sweetness and happiness.
“Ranran, it’s been cold these days. Don’t go outside too much, keep warm, and don’t catch a cold…”
Listening to Mo Xiuchen’s considerate and concerned words, Wen Ran obediently replied, “Okay, I know.”
On the side, Bai Yiyi watched her with a smile. This was the second ti she had seen her talking on the phone with Mo Xiuchen. The tranquility and tenderness in Wen Ran’s eyes made everyone around her feel her happiness and be moved by it.
“Mo Xiuchen, I’m almost ho. You go on with your work; I’ll call you tonight.”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting for your call tonight.”
After hanging up the phone and seeing Bai Yiyi smiling at her, Wen Ran’s eyes twinkled, and she smiled, saying, “Mo Xiuchen always treats like a child, he never feels completely reassured about .”
“It seems really happy to have a husband older than yourself, huh?”
Bai Yiyi blinked and teased with a smile.
Amused by her, Wen Ran laughed, “Then why don’t you also find a husband who is a few years older than you? I know quite a few eligible n. Shall I introduce so to you?”
“No thanks, I have Tongtong, and that’s enough.” Bai Yiyi shook her head in a feigned frightened manner.
Watching Tongtong, who was sweetly asleep in her arms, and rembering what her brother had said, Wen Ran deliberately exclaid in surprise, “Yiyi, you seem so tense. Could it be because of Tongtong’s father? Who is he really?”
Startled by Wen Ran’s words, Bai Yiyi choked on her saliva and began coughing violently, disturbing the soundly sleeping Tongtong, who, the next second, started crying plaintively and indignantly in the train car.
Seeing Bai Yiyi coughing because of her words, Wen Ran said sowhat apologetically, “Yiyi, hand Tongtong to .”
“It’s okay.”
Bai Yiyi smiled, stopped coughing, and gently patted Tongtong, her heartbeat still chaotic because of Wen Ran’s earlier words.

City B
In a luxurious hotel suite.
Dressed in pajamas, Mo Xiuchen lounged lazily on a leather sofa, his large hand holding a cellphone. Hearing Gu Kai’s voice on the other end, he curled his lips slightly, his voice low and magnetic as he spoke, “Ah Kai, did Ranran go to the hospital this afternoon?”
“Yeah, how did you know? I had wanted her to stay ho for a couple of days, but she left without telling .”
Gu Kai’s voice carried a hint of regret. After talking to his father, he had been called into ergency surgery, and when he left the operating room, Ranran had already left.
Mo Xiuchen clicked his tongue, quite speechless with Gu Kai, the unwed man who was always competing with him for Ranran, “Instead of spending your ti competing with for Ranran, you should go on blind dates, marry a wife soon, and save Dad the constant worry about whether you have orientation issues.”
“Mo Xiuchen, did you call just to make baseless accusations?” Gu Kai asked irritably.
Mo Xiuchen laughed heartily, and after his laughter, he said, “Of course not, I called you because of Ranran.”
“You’re on a business trip, just the first day, right? You’re so worried about Ranran, why don’t you take her with you next ti? Ranran did say that you’ve been acting very unusual lately, always moving alone. Mo Xiuchen, what are you plotting behind Ranran’s back?”
“Did Ranran go to the hospital for a physical check-up?”
Ignoring Gu Kai’s question, Mo Xiuchen directly asked what he wanted to know.
“Wow, how did you know? Even I wasn’t inford; she surely couldn’t have told you,” Gu Kai asked in surprise, the information still fresh from a young nurse who adored him in gynecology.
Ranran went to the hospital, but surprisingly, it wasn’t specifically to see him; she was there for a checkup.
Mo Xiuchen continued to ask, “So, is her body well-nourished now, can she have children at any ti?”
Ranran had always wanted children. Originally, he had planned to wait until after the Spring Festival to give her a surprise, and then have children.
The main concern was that once she got pregnant, she would beco too tired.
“Did you ask Ranran to get the checkup, Mo Xiuchen? What are you trying to hide?” Gu Kai asked, puzzled.
Originally, he thought Ranran didn’t want Mo Xiuchen to know, and that was why she hadn’t told him either.
But hearing Mo Xiuchen ask this, Gu Kai beca confused.
“Why would I hide it from you?” Mo Xiuchen asked with a laugh.
Ranran wanted to get pregnant secretly, but fortunately, he was astute and perceptive. That day, when he entered the room, Ranran looked guilty, and he instantly found it strange. Later, when he kissed her hand, he slled a familiar scent on her hand.
Then, on the blanket, he found the needle that Ranran hadn’t had ti to hide.
That night, after Wen Ran had gone to sleep, he took out those two precious boxes and observed them for a long ti, confirming his suspicions.
“How should I know? Ranran is very healthy, and you two can have children at anyti, but are you really planning on having her bear your children without even organizing a proper wedding?”
Gu Kai was quite dissatisfied with this.
He only had that one sister, and if they had acknowledged each other earlier, he definitely wouldn’t have let her marry Mo Xiuchen that way, not even if they were brothers.
Ranran was not yet twenty-four, and he was already restricting her freedom every day; if she were to bear his children, then she would have even less freedom from then on.
“That’s none of your concern, I’m hanging up now, we’ll talk later if there’s anything else.”
Having gotten the answer he wanted, Mo Xiuchen no longer paid attention to Gu Kai who didn’t understand relationships, ignoring his ongoing talk and hung up the phone imdiately.
Fortunately, he didn’t continue the idle chat with Gu Kai.
Just after he hung up, Wen Ran’s call ca through.
Seeing the caller ID, Mo Xiuchen’s lips curved up in a pleased smile, laughter spreading through his deep eyes, “Ranran.”
“Mo Xiuchen, who were you on the phone with just now? It was busy the whole ti.”
Wen Ran’s voice ca with a hint of complaint, and Mo Xiuchen laughed as he explained, “I was chatting with Ah Kai for a bit. He said you went to the hospital to see him today and regretted that you couldn’t stay at his place for a couple of days.”
Wen Ran giggled, “Really? I didn’t hear my brother say that.”
“Ranran, do you have any plans for tomorrow or the day after?” Mo Xiuchen shifted the topic, asking with concern.
This weekend, he couldn’t stay with her, and that was his real regret.
“It’s already started to snow outside. I’ll just stay at ho and not go anywhere for the next two days. How about you, how many days will you be staying in City B?”
“I still have one more day tomorrow. I’ll leave City B the day after tomorrow. This delay might an I can only return by next Friday or Saturday.” Mo Xiuchen felt gloomy at the thought of being away from Wen Ran for so long, his lips pressed together as he tentatively said, “Ranran, why don’t you co and keep company?”
“I’ll wait for you to co ho.” Wen Ran was silent for a few seconds before she declined.
