“You have no shame!”

Bai Xiaoxiao teased her, yet in her heart, she was genuinely happy for her.

“Ranran, where is Yuting? I haven’t seen her,” he asked when Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao were almost finished eating, Gu Kai and Luo Haofeng came over.

Only then did Wen Ran remember that Shen Yuting had gone out to answer a call and hadn’t returned.

“She went to take a call.”

Bai Xiaoxiao replied on behalf of Wen Ran.

Luo Haofeng’s gaze flickered slightly, but he did not speak.

Gu Kai acknowledged with an ‘oh’, and said, “Ranran, I have some things to discuss with you. Let Ah Feng accompany Xiaoxiao for a while, and we’ll step outside.”

“Sure!”

With a smile, Wen Ran responded and reminded Luo Haofeng not to bully Bai Xiaoxiao as she left the hall with Gu Kai.

“Brother, what’s up?”

Wen Ran questioned Gu Kai.

“Nothing special. I’ve been busy these days and haven’t got time to see you. I thought we could use an excuse to get some fresh air and have a chat.”

Gu Kai looked at Wen Ran affectionately. This area outside was quieter, and it felt completely cut off from the bustle of the banquet hall.

Wen Ran felt a warmth in her heart, a smile appearing on her face. “Brother, I’ll be on holiday in a few days, when is your surgery scheduled?”

Gu Kai stepped forward, gently brushing past her ear, and said softly, “I don’t have any holidays. There’re no operations on Lunar New Year’s Day, but all other days are fully booked.”

No surgery on Lunar New Year’s Day didn’t mean he could rest for the whole day. If there were any emergency situations, he would still have to be called back to the hospital.

Wen Ran looked at Gu Kai’s handsome face, her heart ached, and said softly, “Don’t overwork yourself, take care of your health.”

Gu Kai had performed two surgeries that day, rushing over just after finishing them. There was still a trace of fatigue on his face.

“I’m not tired. I just don’t trust you. I was worried that you’d keep following Mo Xiuchen without taking a break, so I came to check on you.”

Gu Kai put his hand back into his pocket and stared at Wen Ran.

Those days, he was busy, and so was Wen Ran. The company’s annual meeting required a lot of preparation.

If he didn’t show up, this silly girl would definitely stay with Mo Xiuchen all the time.

“I’m not tired,” Wen Ran answered softly, her voice somewhat guilty.

“How can you not be tired? I heard from Ah Feng, and I can see that you’ve lost weight. That guy Mo Xiuchen is really too much. If I’d known this would happen, you might have been better off staying at Wen Family. At least Wen Jin wouldn’t treat you like two people.”

“Brother, it’s not as serious as you think,” Wen Ran defended Mo Xiuchen.

In truth, Mo Xiuchen had already done a lot of work for her. It’s just that everyone in the company was busy these past few days, and she would feel uneasy if she was the only one idle.

“By the way, I heard that Cheng Jia has accomplished a lot overseas. After the New Year, your company is going to reward her.”

When Gu Kai mentioned Cheng Jia, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

As long as that woman stayed by Mo Xiuchen’s side, it felt like a nuisance to him.

Of course, he admitted, part of it was because he was Wen Ran’s brother, who couldn’t help worrying about her.

And Mo Xiuchen was too good, too charming. Even though he was as cold as ice, there were countless women who wanted to melt him.

Wen Ran’s expression remained calm. It seemed there was no particular emotion in her voice, “Yes, she generated revenue in the hundreds of millions for the company. I heard that she has been working very hard in her overseas training. Out of the three, her performance was the best.”

Gu Kai snorted disdainfully, “She’s just doing all these things to position herself next to Mo Xiuchen one day. Ranran, I’ve already talked to Mo Xiuchen. No matter how good Cheng Jia is, he can’t keep her by his side.”

Wen Ran was taken aback and looked at Gu Kai in surprise.

“Maybe for MS Group, Cheng Jia is very excellent, but I don’t care about that, Mo Xiuchen also promised that he won’t keep her at the headquarters after she returns to China.”

“Brother!”

With gratitude filling her heart, a touch of sorrow emerged in Wen Ran. Gu Kai had considered her in every possible way, fearing that any woman would steal her happiness.

Did this mean that he hadn’t entirely let go of the incident with Shen Yuting? Eeven felt guilty about it deep down?

If he knew that this situation would occur, he would not have kept Shen Yuting by his side, much less let her meet Mo Xiuchen.

A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Even if Shen Yuting promised that what happened that night wouldn’t happen again, Gu Kai still felt that it was his responsibility.

Gu Kai smiled faintly, “You’re my sister. I have to ensure your happiness. Even if it seems too much to others, it’s none of their business.”

As Gu Kai and Wen Ran were talking, they didn’t notice that there was someone in the distance following them, but they left soon after.

It took Shen Yuting a long time to return to the banquet hall after she ended the phone call.

Her gaze lingered on the man amongst the crowd who was tall, sophisticated, distinguished and icy for a while. She unconsciously pursed her lips, gathering the guilt in her heart before heading towards Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng.

It was Mo Zixuan who had called her.

Mo Zixuan wanted to make a deal with her on the phone, but she refused.

“Xiaoxiao, Ah Feng, why are only the two of you here? Where is Ranran?”

When Shen Yuting came to them, she asked with concern.

“She left with Gu Kai. Were you on the phone for a long time? I thought you had left,” Bai Xiaoxiao teased as she looked at Shen Yuting.

Shen Yuting smiled and picked up a glass of juice. She took a sip before she casually explained, “Just chatting a bit longer with a good friend.”

As she turned her head, she saw Gu Kai and Wen Ran enter from outside. Gu Kai held the bead curtain for Wen Ran to enter. From this small act, it was evident that Gu Kai doted on Wen Ran.

Shen Yuting’s eyes dimmed. Gu Kai had treated her just as well in the past, pampering her as if she were his own little sister, except asking her not to touch Wen Ran’s stuff.

But now, with Wen Ran here, Gu Kai didn’t dote on her as he used to. He even kept reminding her not to compete with Wen Ran for Mo Xiuchen.

Buried deep in her heart, that green-eyed monster, jealousy, began to grow gradually with each pang of provocation, and if Gu Kai were the only one being nice to her, she might bear it.

In the middle of the hall, Mo Xiuchen, who was talking to some people, saw Wen Ran come in and immediately walked towards her.

He couldn’t bear to be apart from her even for a brief time?

Seeing Mo Xiuchen walk to Wen Ran and absently put his arm around her waist, whispering something in her ear, Wen Ran smiled at Gu Kai and went with him to where he had just left.

Shen Yuting tightly pursed her lips, suppressing the emotions welling up in her heart.
