Chapter 207: 206 Have you ever thought about having a child?
Translator: 549690339
Wen Ran didn’t disclose to MO Xiuchen that she was out shopping with Shen Yuting and Gu Kai, fearing that he would worry about her.
She simply instructed MO Xiuchen not to worry and to handle the matters on his end well, ensuring her safety outside, and so on. There were no sweet nothings exchanged, yet her gentle voice leaked concern and care for MO Xiuchen.
Shen Yuting was sipping her milk tea absent-mindedly, her head lowered. The milk tea, however, tasted bitter all of a sudden.
She was well aware of the mutual affection between MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran, yet she couldn’t control her heart that had fallen for him over the years.
She couldn’t let go of her feelings for him.
After Wen Ran finished her call with MO Xiuchen, Gu Kai left his seat to use the restroom.
“Sister Ting, why are you only drinking milk tea and not eating cake?” Wen Ran tucked her phone away, gazing at Shen Yuting who was almost done with her tea and hadn’t even tasted the cake, and casually asked. Shen Yuting’s eyes flickered, and a smile surfaced on her face, “I was waiting for you, Ranran. MO Xiuchen is really nice to you, you guys make people envious.”
She was genuinely envious, envious that Wen Ran won MO Xiuchen’s heart.
A man like MO Xiuchen would either remain indifferent for a lifetime, or once emotionally attached, never waver until death.
She had dreamt of what it would be like if MO Xiuchen was emotionally moved and how he would treat the woman he loves.
Yet, she could never imagine it being like it was now.
Merely the way he looked at Wen Ran was enough to break her heart into pieces.
Wen Ran laughed shyly and cheerfully commented, “If Sister Ting is willing, there are countless men waiting to treat you well for a lifetime.”
Shen Yuting took a spoonful of cake and sighed, “I’ve never been in love before, so I don’t know what it feels like, Ranran. You and MO Xiuchen are so close. Have you ever thought about having a child?”
Wen Ran swallowed the cake and sipped her milk tea, “We’ll let fate decide.” Actually, she did find it a bit strange.
During her time with MO Xiuchen, they never used birth control and had been physically intimate countless times.
MO Xiuchen was energetically tireless every night but she never became pregnant.
She had seen in a lot of novels and TV shows how many girls become pregnant the first time.
She thought she would get pregnant quickly too. At that time, she wasn’t sure about her feelings and was somewhat worried.
Now, she was certain that she had already fallen for MO Xiuchen. She was willing to bear his children.
Looking at Wen Ran, Shen Yuting paused for a moment, asked, “You guys aren’t using birth control, right?”
Wen Ran shook her head, “No.”
She felt a little unaccustomed to discussing this topic with Shen Yuting. However, if Bai Xiaoxiao had asked this question, she wouldn’t have felt this way.
Shen Yuting hesitated for a few seconds before carefully saying, “MO Xiuchen lost his mother at a young age and his father married Xiao Wenqing and brought home a half brother. Ranran, you may not know, but the relationship between MO Xiuchen and MO Zixuan has always been bad, and Xiao Wenqing is not a nice woman, she is constantly scheming to let MO Zixuan replace MO
Xiuchen.”
Wen Ran lightly pursed her lips and said nothing.
Shen Yuting continued, “Now, although MO Xiuchen is in charge of the group,
Xiao Wenqing certainly will not give up. She’s forcing MO Zixuan to marry Zhou Lin because Zhou Lin is carrying MO Zixuan’s child. If Zhou Lin gives birth to a boy, he would inherit five percent of MS Group’s shares as soon as he was born.”
“So, Ranran, you must not use birth control. If you and MO Xiuchen have a child, all of Xiao Wenqing’s schemes will be ruined.”
Gu Kai, who had just returned from the restroom, heard Shen Yuting’s last sentence. His handsome face darkened, and his brow furrowed. Before he could get to the table, he called out, ‘Yuting!”
Shen Yuting looked perplexed and turned her head to look at Gu Kai.
While Gu Kai’s voice seemed calm, she had been close to him since childhood and could detect the displeasure in it.
Even when he looked at her, there was a hint of sharpness in his gaze.
That sharpness vanished when Wen Ran turned her head, but Shen Yuting still caught it.
Before she had time to react, Gu Kai had already arrived at the table.
His dark eyes looked at Wen Ran, and he gently asked, “It’s almost lunch. After having the dessert, are you going to have lunch?”
In his view, dessert was not considered a meal.
Wen Ran shook her head and replied lightly, “No need. We are full after these desserts.”
Gu Kai had ordered too much, and after eating these, she was full.
Having thought for a few moments, Shen Yuting realized that her cousin was mad because she was talking to Wen Ran about Xiao Wenqing. She laughed, picked up from where Wen Ran left off, “Exactly, we won’t be able to eat anything else after these desserts. Ranran, we can continue…”
“Let’s stop here for today, and if there’s another chance, we’ll go out again. I’ll take you both home soon.”
Gu Kai interrupted Shen Yuting. There was no room for negotiation in his tone.
Shen Yuting looked at him, puzzled. Leaning back he calmly said, “Ranran’s complexion doesn’t look too good. You guys must be tired from shopping for so long. If there’s nothing you need to buy urgently, you can go out again another time.”
“Ah, yes, Ranran, when you were on the phone with MO Xiuchen earlier, it sounded like something was no longer hurting. Are you not feeling well somewhere?”
Only after Gu Kai said this did Shen Yuting remember that she hadn’t paid much attention to Wen Ran because she was feeling upset.
Looking closely now, Wen Ran did appear slightly weary, and her complexion didn’t look too good either, despite her smile.
Wen Ran responded with a faint smile.
In front of Gu Kai, she didn’t feel comfortable sharing that she was having her period and feeling unwell. Fortunately, she wasn’t in severe pain like she had been the night before.
“We have been shopping for over an hour and we’re a bit tired. If Sister Ting doesn’t have anything that she must buy, then let’s head back.”
Shen Yuting gazed at Wen Ran for a few seconds, seemingly understanding. Immediately agreeing, she said, “Alright, we’ll go back after eating. I have to go to City C and then City D tomorrow afternoon. I will only be back after giving speeches in both cities. Ranran, if there’s anything you like, I can bring it back for you.”
“Thank you, Sister Ting, but I don’t really need anything.”
Wen Ran politely refused.
Gu Kai sat to the side, listening to their conversation while they ate. He also chimed in and ate a bit from time to time. This all felt quite pleasant to him.
Once they were done eating, Gu Kai and Shen Yuting first sent Wen Ran home. After watching her enter the villa, Gu Kai signalled Shen Yuting to move to the front seat.
The Maserati got back on the road and he glanced at Shen Yuting. Calmly, he asked, “Yuting, you’re a doctor. How did you not notice that Ranran was on her period?”
Shen Yuting was taken aback as she looked at Gu Kai’s slightly serious handsome face.. After taking a moment, she turned his question back on him, “Cousin, how did you know?”
