Chapter 659: 658 I just can’t bear to


    Wen Ran blinked, her face showing a hint of disappointment, but she still said generously, “Alright, I’ll go back tomorrow. Please take care in D Country. If Fu Jingyi really is in D Country and has a close connection to the winery, investigating him might provoke him into taking some actions.”


    Mo Xiuchen curved lips into a smug smile, “Ranran, if you don’t want to go back tomorrow, I can dy my itinerary for two more days. There are many beautiful ces here in City C…”


    “No, no, I don’t want to interfere with your regr work. Besides, I am not a dispensable figure at the pharmaceutical factory. If I don’t go back, my brother will be very busy.”


    Wen Ran interrupted Mo Xiuchen before he could finish his sentence.


    Mo Xiuchen looked at her and softly said, “Ranran, it’s okay.”


    Wen Ran shook her head insistently, “I’ll go back tomorrow. If you can spend the day with me today, that’d be enough.”


    After finishing their meal, Wen Ran chatted with Mo Xiuchen for a while and then invited him to take a nap.


    Mo Xiuchen was more than willing to nap with her. Over thest two days, he had barely slept worrying about Wen Ran having nightmares when he wasn’t by her side, and his own physical condition caused his sleep to be restless as well.


    Now, with her head nestled in the crook of his arm, their breaths intertwined, blocking out the outside world, Mo Xiuchen felt a sense of utmost satisfaction and security. They ended up sleeping for three hours.


    If it wasn’t for the ringing of his phone, they would probably still be asleep.


    Mo Xiuchen picked up the phone from the bedside table, and first thing, he silenced it. When he saw that Wen Ran in his arms was still asleep, heid still and answered the phone.


    “Hello!”


    He lowered his voice, fearing he might wake Wen Ran.


    Wen Ran woke up when the phone rang but not wanting to get up, she pretended to be asleep.


    She liked being in his embrace like this, her head resting on his arm, holding him by his waist, able to hear his steady heartbeat, and breathe in his scent. A routine like this was everyday life for most couples.


    But for her and Mo Xiuchen, it felt like a dream.


    She understood that his trip to D Country was not for a business engagement. That’s why she promptly declined when he offered to dy the trip.


    No matter how reluctant she was, she had to let him go.


    Had he not insisted on keeping her in the dark, she would never have let him go to D Country alone and endure the pain of being sick him by himself.


    After the call ended, Wen Ran opened her eyes.


    “Ranran, did the phone call wake you up?”


    Mo Xiuchen gently asked after putting down the phone.


    Wen Ran shook her head and softy asked as she looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, “What time it is?”


    “Five o’clock.”


    “Ah, it’s sote. We slept for three hours. Xiuchen, we should get up,” Wen Ran muttered, wriggling free from his arm and sitting up on the bed.


    Mo Xiuchen just smiled indulgently at her, “Ranran, what’s the hurry, it’s not even dark yet.”


    Wen Ran tilted her face upwards to look at him, “Xiuchen, let’s go take wedding photos.”


    “Huh?”


    Mo Xiuchen was taken aback for a moment, looking at Wen Ran in confusion. He didn’t understand why she was suddenly talking about taking wedding photos.


    “Ranran, why do you suddenly want to take wedding photos?”


    Wen Ran let out a softugh, “Because a woman looks beautiful in a wedding dress. I n to have a few wedding photos taken. This way you won’t be seduced by foreign girls when you go abroad.”


    Mo Xiuchen teased her by lightly flicking her nose, “So you don’t trust me?”


    “It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that you’re too handsome, those women are eager to throw themselves at you.”


    Wen Ran recalled the timest month when they were walking around in D Country, this man attracted attention wherever he went. Some foreign women didn’t even care that she was there and tried their luck flirting with him.


    Mo Xiuchen seemed to remember the incident from their trip to D Country. He reached out to pull her into his embrace and ced a soft kiss on her forehead, “Ranran, I have many beautiful pictures of you on my phone. Don’t worry, no matter where I am, I will think of you every day.”


    Wen Ran’s nose twitched, she bit her lip and buried her face in his chest.


    For a moment, it seemed like she wanted to tell him that she knew he was not going for work, that she also knew her illness would be cured, not because her father and Dr. Brown were good doctors.


    She wanted to berate him for his stupidity.


    She wanted to scold him, how could he bear to leave her to live on her own…


    N?v(el)B\\jnn


    There was so much more she wanted to tell him.


    “Xiuchen!”


    Her voice was slightly muffled as she pressed against his chest. Mo Xiuchen let go of her, looking into her glistening eyes, teasing, “Ranran, are you trying to cry? I’m just going on a business trip, will you really miss me this much? How do you think couples who live apart for many years manage?”


    “I will miss you.”


    Wen Ran pouted her lips, her voice full of longing.


    A slight hesitation shed across Mo Xiuchen’s heart but smiling affectionately looking at her, he said, “Silly girl.”


    “Xiuchen, don’t stay on your business trip for too long.”


    Wen Ran grabbed his slender fingers and began bending them one by one.


    “Ranran,st night Ah Kai said that Fu Jingyi wants to make a move on Kangning Hospital. So, I must find him this time. It may take more than a few days.”


    The smile faded from the corner of Mo Xiuchen’s mouth, and his tone turned serious.


    Wen Ran bit her lip and dropped her gaze. A momentter, she lifted her head and looked at Mo Xiuchen again, “If that’s the case, I will give you one month. Regardless of whether you find the whereabouts of Fu Jingyi within a month, you have to return. You’re not allowed to stay abroad for long.”


    Mo Xiuchen nodded and with a nonchnt smirk, “Alright. I promise you. I will leave only for a month. If I don’te back in a month, then you don’t have to wait for me anymore.”


    “You wish! If you don’te back within a month, I’ll go to D Country and drag you back. And then I’ll keep you locked up at home and make you kneel on keyboards, bow to pot noodles, worship a cactus…”


    As Wen Ran spoke, she continued to list items for Mo Xiuchen to kneel on or bow to. There were dozens of items and each one was different.


    Initially, Mo Xiuchen was suspicious that she might be aware of something, but witnessing her hrious and cute antics dissolved his suspicions.


    He assured himself that he had hidden it well and didn’t let anything slip in front of Wen Ran. She was smart, but na?ve at the same time, so he didn’t think she’d figure it out so soon.


    It also helped that the twisted Fu Jingyi had agreed not to call or harass Wen Ran, or inform her about Mo Xiuchen’s sacrifice.


    “I do what I say,” Wen Ran stated in a very queenlike manner.


    Mo Xiuchen nodded with a smile, “Hmm, I also keep my word.”


    His eyes then flickered, a hint of emotion shing in his gaze only to disappear the next instant.
