Seeing the long-lost smile on Ran Xiangsi’s face, Xing Chen’s eyes darkened, and he seriously asked her, "Not sad anymore?"
"A little." Ran Xiangsi’s bright face suddenly fell, looking a bit listless, "Even though I don’t have much affection for Ran Zhonghai, I have still called him ’dad’ for so many years.
And, I don’t even know where my biological parents are... or why I beca the daughter of the Ran Family.
I’ve even been thinking, maybe my mother was thrown out by my father so heartlessly because he knew I wasn’t his biological daughter?"
The human mind is really marvelous; in such a short while, Ran Xiangsi’s little head had already thought of so many possibilities.
Looking at Ran Xiangsi’s scrunched-up little face, Xing Chen ruffled her hair and said flatly, "The things you need to know will be revealed when the ti cos.
For now, you’d better think carefully, why did Ran Zhonghai suddenly have a car accident?
Why was there a power outage in the blood bank the night before? Why did everything pile up together, forcing you to let Ran Yingqian out?"
"You... you an, all of this was arranged by soone?" Ran Xiangsi was shocked by Xing Chen’s words and gasped.
She stood up uneasily, looked toward the direction of the operating room, and felt as if all her strength had been drained away.
"If it was arranged by Ran Yingqian, how could she do it? To her own biological father? And it’s a car accident, if it isn’t controlled well, people could die..."
The scenario suggested by Xing Chen made Ran Xiangsi feel inexplicably fearful.
Can a human’s heart truly reach such a dreadful place?
Xing Chen also stood up, walked to Ran Xiangsi’s side, crossed his arms, and also looked at the operating room which still had its red light on.
"The scariest thing in this world is probably the human heart." He sighed and turned his head to look at Ran Xiangsi, "Are you coming to tonight’s anniversary celebration?"
Even though it was agreed upon last night, given what has happened to Ran Zhonghai now...
Ran Xiangsi shook her head lightly, "I’m not going. I’d rather stay here with him. Even if he’s not my biological father, still..."
Xing Chen knew that once she made up her mind, no matter what anyone said, she wouldn’t listen. He simply said, "Take care of yourself."
"Yes, don’t worry, I’m fine! I even specifically brought a few bodyguards when I ca out!" Ran Xiangsi smiled, pointing at the man pretending to read a newspaper by the restroom door and another one drinking a hot beverage in the building opposite.
"This ti you finally learned to be cautious." Xing Chen glanced over, recognized the family bodyguards, and felt at ease.
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to pull her close and plant a kiss on her smooth forehead.
"See you at ho."
"Okay..." Ran Xiangsi blushed and urged him to leave quickly. "Go on, this is a hospital, a public place, you know!"
Seeing her shy reaction, Xing Chen couldn’t bear to tease her anymore. With tenderness and affection in his eyes, he turned and left.
She is an adult, she knows what she’s doing.
Since she chooses to stay, let her do what she wants to do...
Watching Xing Chen’s departing figure, still so handso and tall, Ran Xiangsi’s heart felt like it had been sweetened with honey, dispelling much of the bitterness she had felt upon learning about her true parentage.
The doors of the operating room, which had been closed for five hours, finally opened.
