Chapter 493: Don’t even think about it 492
Downstairs, Wen Jin helped Bai Xiaoxiao to the sofa and sat down next to her. With concern, he asked, “Xiaoxiao, why did Ranran suddenly call Gu Kai to come?”
Bai Xiaoxiao was also confused, pondering for a moment before answering quietly, “It might be about Mo Xiuchen.”
“For Mo Xiuchen?”
Wen Jin knit his brows, even more puzzled.
“When Luo Hao Feng called me, Mo Xiuchen spoke to me for a while, asking me to tell Ranran.”
Bai Xiaoxiao pressed her lips together, her tone somber, “Ranran wants to divorce him, but he’s against it. He told me to tell Ranran that if she’s pushing for divorce because she can’t conceive, he will get a vasectomy. That way, she won’t have any mental burden.”
Wen Jin was taken aback!
Mo Xiuchen really dared to do it. If he said it, he could do it.
His previous disregard for his reputation, admitting his illness, showed Wen Jin that for Ranran, he was capable of anything.
No wonder Ranran called Gu Kai. If he didn’t guess wrong, she wanted Gu Kai to stop Mo Xiuchen. But why would she propose to divorce Mo Xiuchen?
“Brother Wen, just now, Ranran’s tone was very determined. I think, she didn’t decide to divorce Mo Xiuchen impulsively.”
Seeing Wen Jin deep in thought with furrowed brows, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t resist reminding him again.
Wen Jin’s deep eyes flashed with a glimmer of emotion, he said calmly, “No one can change what Ranran decides, unless she changes her own mind. Even if Mo Xiuchen threatens her with a vasectomy, she won’t compromise.”
He’d been with her for over a decade, he understood her temperament well.
“All this is Fu Jingyi’s fault, the pervert. He’s driven Ranran to this state and he’s still not satisfied. Plus, there’s that bad woman, Tong Shishi, who told Wu Tianyi about Ranran’s background, letting Fu Jingyi find out about it.”
Bai Xiaoxiao was gritting her teeth with hatred, “Is Xiao Wenqing still refusing to confess anything?”
Wen Jin shook his head, Xiao Wenqing despised Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran, why would she divulge the hiding place of Wu Tianyi and Fu Jingyi? She likely wished they would retaliate for her.
Perhaps, she was even hoping they’d rescue her.

Upstairs, inside the room
Gu Kai looked at Wen Ran with heartache, his stern features softening, he said word by word, “Ranran, trust me and our dad, we will cure you. Nowadays, medical science is so advanced. Even a brain transplant is possible, your illness is nothing.”
Wen Ran pursed her lips, it wasn’t that she didn’t trust them, it was just, if her illness were truly curable, they wouldn’t keep her in the dark about it.
Back then, when Mo Xiuchen brought her overseas in the middle of the night, claiming it was a surprise for her, she suspected something was wrong.
She didn’t expect it would be something like this.
“Ranran, about Xiuchen’s situation…”
“Brother, I won’t be with him anymore.”
Wen Ran interrupted Gu Kai, firmness apparent in her gaze.
Gu Kai was stunned, his attractive eyebrows gently furrowed, he scolded, “Ranran, you can’t be this willful. Xiuchen has been good to you, not just you, everyone sees it. With a decision like this, how can he accept it?”
Wen Ran’s eyes were a bit red, but what was more prominent was her stubbornness and determination. She tightly pursed her reddened lips, taking a moment before she said with difficulty, “He will have to get used to a life without me, sooner or later. He was used to it for nearly thirty years before, he will be used to it later on.”
She was just a passerby in his life, their time together was only half a year.
“Do you think he can get used to it?”
Gu Kai countered, in his eyes was a suppressed rage born of heartbreak. He knew Wen Ran was afraid that she would eventually leave Mo Xiuchen, and didn’t want him to suffer then. But her leaving now would also hurt Mo Xiuchen.
What upset him most was, if she really only had a few years left, then he wanted those years to be happier than others’ lifetimes. Without Xiuchen, how could she hold on?
“…”
Wen Ran moved her lips, the words she wanted to say stuck in her throat.
Could he get used to it?
She hoped he could, she hoped he would gradually forget her. Yet, she was well aware that Mo Xiuchen would not forget her.
“If he can’t forget…”
Her voice was choked and trembled as it broke off unintelligibly.
Seeing her state, Gu Kai’s face changed. Without her finishing her sentence, he had guessed what she wanted to say.
“Ranran, don’t even think about it, I won’t allow it.”
“But I haven’t finished speaking.”
Wen Ran looked at Gu Kai with a sense of grievance, his current expression was terrifying. She had never seen him so fierce before, not after they recognized each other, not even before they knew each other.
Gu Kai was really angry, “You didn’t finish, but I know what you want to say. You think that if Mo Zixuan could forget you, Xiuchen can as well. And if he isn’t willing to let go on his own, forcefully locking away his memory would make him forget you, right?”
Wen Ran felt a pain in her heart, she looked down, avoiding his gaze.
“Ranran, I won’t agree to it because some people can temporarily lock their memories while others can’t. Xiuchen is a very determined man. Even if we do that, it won’t work. Unless he himself wants to forget you.”
“If he forgets you, you can only watch him be affectionate and happy with another woman. You may be willing to see such a result, but as your brother, I’m not. I promise you, we will cure your illness, don’t even think about anything else.”
After speaking, Gu Kai stood up.
An image of what he described surfaced in Wen Ran’s mind—Mo Xiuchen, sweet and affectionate with another woman. It was just a blurry imagination, and her heart already ached to the point where she could no longer breathe.
“I’m going back to the hospital first, Dad’s still waiting for me there. Rest well these next few days and don’t think about useless things. We will not give up on you, and even more so, you can’t give up on yourself.”
After saying this, Gu Kai turned to leave.
“Brother!”
He was about to step out the door when he was stopped by a voice from behind.
He turned back to look at her on the bed.
Wen Ran’s voice was soft, “Brother, I won’t give up!”
Gu Kai’s gaze shifted slightly, something welled up in his eyes. His thin lips pressed together as he stared at Wen Ran’s pale face, a pang of pain echoing in his heart.
After locking eyes for a moment, he suddenly strode back to the bed, bending over to tightly hug her. His large, well-defined hand gently patted her back as he said in a proud voice, “Ranran, I know you’re the strongest one. You were in the past, you are now, and you will be in the future. No matter when, we’ll always be with you, so you’re not alone, and you can’t despair. Even for diseases that medical science can’t cure, there will always be miracles. Brother hopes that you can also create a miracle!”
