Chapter 1518: 1517 This works too?
The news of An Lin’s ‘pregnancy’ didn’t need further explanation; Mother Qin mentioned it to Mom An on their way to the airport.
An Lin wanted to deny it, but Qin Mu discreetly held her hand, signaling her not to explain.
She glanced at him, and Qin Mu smiled, leaned closer, and whispered in her ear, “Even if you explain, it’s useless. Just let them be happy. What needs to be discussed, whether sooner or later, is the same.”
“Who asked you to talk nonsense.”
Though An Lin’s voice was low, she was gritting her teeth.
Mom An and Mother Qin noticed this and thought they were affectionate, so they just smiled without saying anything.
An Lin couldn’t clarify even if she had something to say, so she ignored Qin Mu and turned to look out the car window.
Qin Mu was in a good mood, looking at An Lin’s turned-away face, thinking to himself about making her pregnancy a reality.
When they entered the airport, An Lin’s phone rang.
She took out her phone and her eyes changed slightly when she saw the caller ID. Though she used to be close with her cousin, last night’s incident left her with some hard feelings.
Even though Feng Wanfeng had someone return her phone, An Lin clearly didn’t want to associate with her as before.
“Linlin, about last night, I’m sorry. I only found out from Qin Mu that those bastards almost bullied you…”
Feng Wanfeng’s voice carried a heavy apology and deep self-blame.
Hearing it, An Lin’s mouth curled into a faint smile, “Cousin, what’s the point of apologizing now? If it’s just to ease your guilt, then go ahead and apologize.”
Implying.
She accepts the apology but doesn’t feel obliged to forgive.
Feng Wanfeng remained silent for a moment over the phone, saying stiffly, “Linlin, I know no matter how much I apologize, it doesn’t change the fact that you got hurt. But Yao Dewei threatened me with Jinchen, and you know I can’t live without Jinchen.”
“So now, you and Jinchen are together, you’re satisfied.”
An Lin didn’t want to continue the conversation and ended it by saying, “I have to catch a flight.”
“Linlin.”
Her mom placed a hand on her shoulder. An Lin turned her gaze to meet her mother’s eyes, and smiled to comfort her, “Mom, I’m okay.”
“Wanfeng indeed went too far, but she’s still your cousin. If you don’t want to play together, just keep your distance.”
Mom An meant that in consideration of her aunt, it’s enough to distance herself from Feng Wanfeng without holding too much of a grudge.
After all, there’s the relationship with her aunt to consider.
She was well aware that one shouldn’t be too willful in life.
Turning off her phone and putting it back in her bag, she raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Mom, I’m not that petty. From childhood to now, Cousin has done plenty to harm me, haven’t I forgiven her every time?”
She was referring to Feng Wanfeng causing her to be scolded by her parents.
“Ah Mu, thank you for rescuing Jinchen from Yao Dewei and returning him to Wanfeng.”
Mom An turned to Qin Mu to express her gratitude.
Last night, while Qin Mu had people rescue An Lin, he also sent someone to find Yao Jinchen and return him to Feng Wanfeng.
He wasn’t doing it for Feng Wanfeng but for An Lin.
In response to Mom An’s gratitude, Qin Mu just gave a lighthearted smile.
***
In G City, at Kangning Hospital.
Mo Xiuchen accompanied Wen Ran to see Qin Zhongnan.
Qin Zhongnan had been moved from the ICU to a VIP room and was doing much better than a few days ago.
However, he was still weak.
After exchanging a few words, Mo Xiuchen informed Qin Zhongnan that Qin Mu, his mother, and An Lin and her mother would be coming to the hospital by noon.
“Ah Mu and the others are coming, has Yao Xinmin been caught?”
Qin Zhongnan, due to his weakness, spoke in a low voice.
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes flickered, “Uncle Qin, those matters are being handled by Tang Yang and the others, you don’t need to worry. The most important thing now is to recover.”
Qin Zhongnan, being astute as he was, understood immediately upon hearing Mo Xiuchen’s words.
“Yao Xinmin escaped?”
“Uncle Qin, it’s time for your IV drip.”
Gu Kai walked in with a nurse, interrupting Mo Xiuchen and Qin Zhongnan’s conversation with his cheerful voice.
Mo Xiuchen got up immediately, pulling Wen Ran back a couple of steps, giving space for Gu Kai and the nurse.
After asking a few questions and getting the nurse to administer the injection, he turned to Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran, saying, “Xiuchen, Ranran, I’d like to discuss the wedding with you, do you have time now?”
“Of course we have time.” Mo Xiuchen raised an eyebrow, bid farewell to Qin Zhongnan, and, pulling Wen Ran along, left the room with Gu Kai.
“Did you tell Uncle Qin about Yao Xinmin escaping?”
As soon as they left the room, Gu Kai asked.
Mo Xiuchen nodded, “Uncle Qin would find out sooner or later. I didn’t think there was a need to keep it from him. When Ah Mu and the others arrive at noon, he’ll ask anyway.”
“That’s true.”
Gu Kai thought for a moment and agreed that Mo Xiuchen made sense.
Since Yao Xinmin wanted Qin Zhongnan’s life, he would undoubtedly be concerned about whether Yao Xinmin had been caught.
“Brother, is what you said about the wedding true or just a joke?”
Wen Ran chimed in with a smile.
Gu Kai chuckled, “Of course it’s true. Now that I have some time, let’s go to my office to discuss it.”
“Aren’t you and Bai Yiyi just having a ceremony at the church? Why a full wedding?”
Mo Xiuchen asked nonchalantly, as he didn’t want Ranran to worry about Gu Kai and Bai Yiyi’s wedding.
Gu Kai, knowing his intentions, shot him a glance, “Xiuchen, I’m not troubling you, so why do you have such a big objection? Right, Ranran?”
Wen Ran chuckled softly, “Xiuchen isn’t objecting, he’s just curious.”
“Ranran.”
Gu Kai called out displeasedly.
It seemed that whenever anything involved Mo Xiuchen, she’d side with him instead of her brother.
Mo Xiuchen was satisfied with a hearty laugh, entwining his fingers with Wen Ran’s and intentionally said, “Ranran, if you don’t want to help him either, we can go home now and pretend we didn’t hear a word he said.”
“Pfft, is that even an option?”
“Of course, it’s not.”
Gu Kai frowned, and as they entered the office, he showed Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen several wedding themes.
“Ranran, help me and Yiyi pick a theme.”
“It’s not Ranran getting married; you should ask Bai Yiyi that question.” Mo Xiuchen refused Gu Kai’s request without a second thought.
Wen Ran thought for a moment before saying, “Brother, the wedding theme should reflect Yiyi’s opinion. Are you afraid she won’t agree?”
“Yiyi said it’s enough to just have the ceremony at the church. But which girl wouldn’t love a wedding and want an unforgettable grand wedding? I just thought I’d give her a surprise.”
As he spoke, Gu Kai’s eyes sparkled, and his already handsome features were even more dazzling due to this happiness.
Wen Ran was touched by Gu Kai’s thoughtfulness towards Bai Yiyi and sincerely happy for him, so she earnestly picked up one of the plans to look over, “Xiuchen, take a look too, and help choose one.”
“Alright, for Ranran’s sake, I’ll have a look.” Mo Xiuchen didn’t pick up any of the plans from the table; instead, he draped an arm over Wen Ran’s shoulder and leaned in to look with her, “Ah Kai, why not consider using a helicopter, I think that would be nice.”
