Chapter 422: It’s better to get number 421 than to make you angry

In the blink of an eye, it was time to return to work.

On the first workday, Mo Xiuchen gave all the employees red envelopes, including one for Wen Ran.

“Wen Ran, your red envelope seems thicker than mine. Does it have more money?”

Just as Mo Xiuchen was handing Wen Ran her red envelope, Luo Haofeng walked in. His eyes lit up as they scanned over her red envelope.

Wen Ran glanced at him and chuckled as she tucked away her red envelope: “Even if it has more money, I still wouldn’t exchange it with you.”

“Mo Xiuchen, you’re showing favoritism. Our red envelopes aren’t as thick. No, it’s unfair. Either give me another one or give me two days off.”

Luo Haofeng saw Wen Ran quickly save her red envelope and then turned to Mo Xiuchen.

Mo Xiuchen, a smile on his face, elegantly stepped past Luo Haofeng and went directly back behind his desk.

Seeing him open his computer, pull out files, answer the phone, and then get busy, completely ignoring him, Luo Haofeng was taken aback, his handsome face changing several times as he glared in frustration.

“Luo Haofeng, aren’t you going back to work? Do you want to work overtime at lunch?”

Wen Ran chuckled as she saw Luo Haofeng glaring at Mo Xiuchen.

“Humph, I won’t stoop to your level.”

Luo Haofeng retorted dissatisfiedly and then left the office.

After working for a while, Mo Xiuchen lifted his head and saw Wen Ran sitting at her desk with furrowed brows as if something was troubling her. He asked in surprise, “Ranran, what’s wrong?”

Wen Ran blinked, speaking softly, “Nothing much, I just suddenly couldn’t remember if I had made the bed this morning.”

Mo Xiuchen felt a slight shock. An unusual emotion flashed through his deep eyes, but he gave her a warm smile and said, “I thought it was something serious. You’ve already made the bed.”

“Really? What’s wrong with me these days? It seems like my memory is deteriorating.”

Wen Ran blinked. Why couldn’t she remember?

Mo Xiuchen got up from behind the desk, walked over to her, gently pressed her temples with his long fingers, and softly said, “You must have been too tired from having fun these past few days, that’s why you feel like your memory is deteriorating.”

Yesterday morning, they both took their medication and left the house. However, by noon, she was asking him whether they had taken their medication in the morning.

Wen Ran gave him a light laugh, raising her hand and grasping his hand massaging her temples, “Mo Xiuchen, you don’t need to massage for me. Hurry back to work.”

“Don’t do your work, I’ll have someone else do it.”

Mo Xiuchen’s eyes scanned the computer screen. His voice, which seeped out from his thin lips, was low, yet had a touch of gentle assertiveness.

After saying this without waiting for Wen Ran’s refusal, he let go of her, turned around back to his own seat, ready to call someone over to take over Wen Ran’s work.

“Mo Xiuchen, I’m fine.”

Wen Ran was shocked and quickly spoke out in prevention.

“All you have to do is stay here with me, you don’t have to do anything else.”

Mo Xiuchen picked up the phone, and before dialing, he gave her a warm smile.

Wen Ran furrowed her brows, “Hold on.” She got up and quickly came over to him, pressing down his hand that held the phone and looked at him earnestly, “Mo Xiuchen, I’m not tired, really. If you don’t let me do anything, then how can I sit here accompany you doing nothing? I would definitely rather go home.”

“Alright then!”

Mo Xiuchen looked at her, silent for a moment, then he compromised.

Wen Ran’s face beamed with a bright smile, “You don’t have to be so worried, you’re making me nervous too.”

“I’m not nervous, I just don’t want you to be too tired.” Mo Xiuchen’s eyes radiated a gentle warmth, but deep within, there was a slight agony.

Kangning Hospital

Gu Kai sat on the leather sofa, his sharp eyes observing Shen Yuting curiously, “Yuting, where did you go during the spring festival?”

From the beginning of the holiday until today, more than ten days, he hadn’t seen Shen Yuting once. When he called her, she only said she was out having fun.

He noticed her changes. Before, he didn’t believe that she really had a boyfriend. But now, seeing a new charm in her eyes, he believed it.

Shen Yuting’s eyes flickered a bit. Gu Kai’s gaze was too sharp, she was afraid he would see through her, so she gave him a cheerful smile, “Cousin, didn’t I tell you? I went on a vacation for a few days.”

“Where did you go?”

Gu Kai leaned back in the sofa, one arm resting on it, appearing lazy and relaxed.

“I went everywhere. As you know, we rarely have holidays during workdays, so I of course had to take advantage of the spring festival to relax.”

“Did you go with your boyfriend?”

Gu Kai narrowed his eyes.

Shen Yuting’s face showed a slight change, and her smile froze for a moment, “Cousin, how do I have a boyfriend? Stop making fun of me.”

“Yuting, you wouldn’t lie to me in the past.” Gu Kai’s casual tone abruptly turned serious, and his gaze at Shen Yuting became stern.

“Cousin, I’m not lying.”

Shen Yuting jittered slightly as she adjusted her white coat, her lips pursed as she lowered her gaze, avoiding his sharp stare.

“You’re lying right now. Even though the holiday only lasted about a dozen days, but you’ve changed since then. Even though I have never been in love, I can still tell you definitely are. Why are you hiding your boyfriend?”

“Alright, I’ll be honest.”

Shen Yuting, stunned, looked up at Gu Kai’s eyes and suddenly laughed.

“Hmm, tell me, what kind of man is he?”

Gu Kai’s face relaxed slightly, his tone became a bit gentler. Even if he had found his own sister, his care for Shen Yuting was still the same as before.

“Actually, I don’t know him very well.”

Shen Yuting frowned slightly, speaking lightly, “Didn’t you tell me before, if a suitable one comes along, I should try to start a relationship? I’ve only found someone to try it for a few days, so he can’t be considered my boyfriend yet. I’ll tell you when I start to like him.”

Gu Kai slightly knitted his brows.

The capricious and careless tone in her voice made him slightly uncomfortable, “Yuting, I hope you can try to start a relationship when you meet someone suitable, provided he has a good character and qualities, and that you will not get hurt.”

Gu Kai took a deep breath, trying to keep his words gentle and calm.

Shen Yuting let out a light laugh, raised her hand, and casually brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear, “What’s all this about getting hurt or not? We’re all adults here.”

“Yuting!”

Gu Kai’s handsome face slightly changed, his voice dripping with sternness.

Shen Yuting stood up, smiling, “Cousin, you don’t need to worry. I know what I’m doing. Instead of thinking of someone I shouldn’t and doing something I shouldn’t all day long, it’s better to try to start a relationship with someone. It’s better than making you angry.”

Gu Kai was speechless at her words.

Shen Yuting pursed her lips, and went back behind her work desk, picked up her stethoscope, and left the office.
