Translator: 549690339

Bai Xiaoxiao was taken aback, with a faint flush of white rising on her face.

The atmosphere turned slightly awkward.

Gu Kai, looking at the indifferent Luo Haofeng, wanted to say something but swallowed his words, instead turning his gaze to Mo Xiuchen.

“Ranran, why don’t you take Xiaoxiao to tour your room? We’ll come back and pick you guys up in a moment.”

Mo Xiuchen smiled slightly; his gentle words eased the tension caused by Luo Haofeng. Wen Ran promptly grinned and nodded, “Sure, Xiaoxiao, my room is next door, there are many gifts inside. Let me show you around.”

It was only after she said that, that she realized there was a problem.

Xiaoxiao was carried here by Luo Haofeng, she couldn’t walk, how was she going to get to the next room, her room?

From Luo Haofeng’s expression, she could hardly tell if he’d be willing to carry Xiaoxiao again, and would Xiaoxiao agree to be carried by him? The atmosphere between them was quite weird.

Mo Xiuchen looked at Luo Haofeng for his reaction. He reluctantly spoke, “I’ll be kind all the way and carry you to Wen Ran’s room.”

As he spoke, he bent down and reached out to hold Bai Xiaoxiao.

“No need!”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice was cold. She felt some discomfort because of his previous words. She turned her head to Mo Xiuchen and said, “Mo Xiuchen, could you please go get my wheelchair? Or perhaps find someone to bring it up for me?”

“No problem!”

Mo Xiuchen glanced at Luo Haofeng and Gu Kai and left to get Bai Xiaoxiao’s wheelchair.

Luo Haofeng’s face was a bit stiff, but soon he recovered his usual expression, “I’ll go downstairs to see if there’s anything I can help with.”

“Ah Feng, let’s go together.”

Gu Kai smiled at Wen Ran and Bai Xiaoxiao and left the room with Luo Haofeng.

“Ranran, so you looked like this when you were little. You were actually much cuter than you are now.”

Bai Xiaoxiao stared at the photos and compared them to Wen Ran before uttering a provocative comment. Wen Ran flung a bop on her head in response, “What? Don’t you think I look good now?”

Bai Xiaoxiao clutched her forehead and glared at her discontentedly, “I didn’t say you look bad now, I just said you were cuter as a child. You only smiled back then, unlike now, you hit people.”

Wen Ran laughed again, glanced at the doorway. Gu Kai and Luo Haofeng had already walked far away, and their footsteps were no longer audible. “Xiaoxiao, what’s the matter with you and Luo Haofeng? I think he’s acting a bit strange.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s gaze flickered, “How would I know why he’s acting strange? Maybe he’s upset because of some love interest.”

Wen Ran narrowed her eyes, staring intently at Bai Xiaoxiao, and said thoughtfully, “I don’t think so. His tone just now seemed like he was jealous, just being jealous.”

She repeated the last part very confidently.

Bai Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, “What’s he jealous about? He and I have nothing to do with each other.”

“It’s precisely because you have nothing to do with him that he’s sulking and feeling jealous. I was wondering why, after Aunt Qiao invited my brother for a meal, Luo Haofeng stopped visiting you at the hospital. Now, I finally get it.”

Wen Ran’s eyes sparkled, proud of her discovery.

“Ranran, those are just your speculations. You could be a scriptwriter.”

Bai Xiaoxiao’s face changed slightly. She lowered her head, her gaze falling on the photo in her hand. Gu Kai as a child was handsome and cute, irresistibly touchable.

“These are not speculations, but deductions. Luo Haofeng must have misunderstood, thinking that Aunt Qiao invited my brother for a meal to further your relationship with him, so he stopped visiting you. Just now, he carried you up, showing that he isn’t completely indifferent towards you.”

Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t respond, she just pursed her lips, her emotions becoming somewhat complicated.

“Even you sitting in my brother’s room displeases him. Xiaoxiao, how about we make a bet, I bet Luo Haofeng is in love with you.”

“No bet, boring!”

Bai Xiaoxiao wasn’t interested at all.

Familiar footsteps could be heard at the door, Wen Ran recognized them as Mo Xiuchen’s.

She chuckled and didn’t continue speaking.

Luo Haofeng and Gu Kai didn’t go downstairs, they went to another room at the end of the corridor instead.

“Ah Feng, I have no intention towards Bai Xiaoxiao, so you don’t need to be jealous.”

Gu Kai candidly told Luo Haofeng, his earlier performance was too conspicuous, and he couldn’t pretend not to notice.

Luo Haofeng took a heavy puff of his cigarette, blew out a chain of smoke rings, his lips thinned into a cold line. His usually affectionate and smiling eyes were now clouded over.

“The last time, Ranran already told Bai Xiaoxiao’s mother that I’m only interested in operations and patients, and not women. According to Ranran, Mother Bai has been introducing eligible bachelors to Bai Xiaoxiao lately.”

Luo Haofeng didn’t say a word, Gu Kai continued speaking alone.

As a brother, he didn’t want Luo Haofeng to suppress his feelings for Bai Xiaoxiao because of him.

After a while, Luo Haofeng finally spat out a response coldly: “Just because you mean nothing to her, doesn’t mean she thinks nothing of you.”

Gu Kai was taken aback, frowning: “Impossible, you’re overthinking it!”

“You’re too good to her!”

Luo Haofeng looked at Gu Kai’s puzzled gaze and pointed out coldly, ever since she moved into Kangning Hospital, Gu Kai had been her attending doctor. Because of Wen Ran, he was nicer to Bai Xiaoxiao than any other patient.

It would be quite normal if Bai Xiaoxiao fell for him or perhaps had a crush on him. Gu Kai was handsome and kind-hearted; which woman wouldn’t like him?

“Aren’t you nicer to her?”

After thinking for a while, Gu Kai finally rebutted.

Luo Haofeng scoffed, “My initial impression of her wasn’t good, so any kindness I showed afterwards can’t compare to yours, Ah Kai. You don’t understand women, especially those like Bai Xiaoxiao. She has been hurt before, so…”

He didn’t continue, but took another heavy puff of his cigarette, stubbed it out, and stood up from the couch: “I don’t like to force women, especially women who are thinking about other men.”

Once he finished speaking, he strode out of the room.

Looking at the back of Luo Haofeng as he walked away, Gu Kai pursed his lips. Suddenly remembering something, his eyes changed slightly, but eventually, he also stubbed out the half cigarette in his hand, stood up, and left.

At seven in the evening, Wen Ran’s birthday party officially started. Mo Xiuchen accompanied Wen Ran on stage, Gu Kai introduced them to everyone as the birthday star. In front of everyone, Mo Xiuchen gave Wen Ran a long French kiss as her birthday gift.

Thunderous applause and whistle sounds erupted from the crowd below the stage.

At the back of the crowd, Shen Yuting clapped along, her face plastered with a rigid and pale smile. Her cousin, Shen Yulan, said sneeringly next to her ear, “Yuting, do you see? All men are the same. Once they’ve tasted your flavor, they’ll be hooked!”
