Chapter 362: 361 Accompanying you to take medicine

Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen had taken a shower.

The chill was ptrofound outside.

But the room was filled with warmth and affection.

“Ranran, did Ah Kai tell you everything?”

Mo Xiuchen looked down.

Her body tensed briefly, and even though she quickly regained her normal composure, Mo Xiuchen noticed it.

With her face turned up, her beauty shone like the finest jade. She looked softly into his eyes as if she wanted to see into his heart.

She nodded gently: “Older Brother Gu has told me. Mo Xiuchen, I made a decision for you without your consent.”

Wen Ran tried to keep her tone light and calm, like during a casual conversation.

Mo Xiuchen’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise. It seemed he didn’t quite understand her meaning. But soon, that hint of surprise in his eyes was replaced by regret: “Ranran, I’m sorry!”

“Sorry for what?”

Wen Ran furrowed her brows, showing a rare dominance and willfulness: “I don’t want to hear sorry. I’ve already told Older Brother Gu to make a medicinal prescription for you. I know you dislike herbal medicine, so they will make two doses. From now on, I will take it with you every day.”

In the hospital, when she first heard the news, Wen Ran was devastated. She even worried about Mo Xiuchen’s emotional reactions.

But now that she announced it, she felt that it was not too significant.

It’s just taking medicine together. She would accompany him.

She believed that Mo Xiuchen, a man who had experienced death and countless injuries, was so strong that this small difficulty would not affect him.

Something swelled in the depth of Mo Xiuchen’s eyes, then retreated.

He looked at Wen Ran’s pretty face, captivated by her determined gaze, and his heart was suddenly filled with mixed feelings.

There was a moment when he actually wondered: If Ranran could face this bravely, if she could say so firmly that she would take the medicine with him, then someday, if she knew the truth, she would be just as brave, right?

“Ranran, maybe, we shouldn’t have children.”

For the first time, Mo Xiuchen hesitated.

Wen Ran was taken aback.

She blinked, then blinked again, gently sealing her lips. The determined gaze just moments ago was quickly filled with moisture.

“Ranran, don’t be sad, I was just saying.”

Mo Xiuchen’s heart clenched and he quickly apologized.

“Mo Xiuchen, are you scared, or, don’t you like children?”

Wen Ran stared intently at him. If he was scared, she would accompany him so he didn’t have to be.

But if he didn’t like children, a sudden wave of unspeakable sadness swept over her heart. If his reluctance toward children was born of an unfortunate childhood, then it broke her heart.

Mo Xiuchen tightened his hold on her, pulling her closely into his arms, his chin resting on her head. His low voice rang out above her head: “Ranran, it’s not that I don’t want children. It’s just that I am afraid that all our efforts will be in vain. And I don’t want you to suffer the bitterness of taking herbal medicine with me. When I was young, I drank herbal medicine for two whole years. I would often drink until I’d vomit…”

Something slipped from the corner of an eye, like boiling iron water coming in contact with Mo Xiuchen’s chest.

Wen Ran held him tighter and tighter.

“But you made it through, didn’t you?”

Her voice was accompanied by choking and deep-seated pain soaked in love.

Mo Xiuchen’s breathing became slightly heavier. Indeed, he did pull through. But he also knew the pain of taking medicine year after year. During that time, there were numerous instances when he wanted to give up.

What was even harder to bear was the mental pressure.

The world knew about his illness.

He had even considered ending it all. Had it not been for the encouragement from Ah Kai and others to get better, to stay alive, and to do what he wanted, he would not have been able to hold on.

That kind of pain, that kind of pressure, he didn’t want the woman he loved to go through it all again. Despite this being his own idea, if Ranran was willing to not have a child, he didn’t want to watch her drink bitter medicine every day.

In that moment, his hatred for Fu Jingyi surpassed that for Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi. He swore to himself time and time again that if he ever encountered Fu Jingyi, he would make him pay a hundred times over for the pain inflicted on Ranran.

With tear-stained eyes, Wen Ran looked at him with a heartache, “Mo Xiuchen, I didn’t have a chance to be with you before. But from now on, I’ll be with you every step of the way.”

“We will share the blessings and the hardships together, alright?”

Mo Xiuchen didn’t speak, his lips tightly shut.

“I know that this disease won’t heal in a few days. I also know that you have taken many medicines in the past and you must be repellent to them now. However, for my sake, please don’t give up, okay?”

“You are the eldest son of the Mo family. Regardless of how your father treated you, you have a responsibility to carry on your family line. With such a big empire, somebody has to inherit it when we get old.”

“Actually, all these are not really that important. The continuation of the family line is not that critical. Who inherits the company does not really matter either. What is really important is that I want to have a child of our own. I want both – a son and a daughter. The son should resemble you, and the daughter should resemble me. I didn’t have a chance to be with you during your childhood, but I hope that our children can grow up happily. Looking at them would be like…”

Her words were drowned out by her choked sobs.

Mo Xiuchen just held her tightly in his arms, as if only through this could she feel how much he loved her, and how important she was to him.

The vision she described began to float before his eyes. Maybe, years later, they would have a son and a daughter, just like she said – the son would resemble him, and the daughter her. Watching them grow up would feel like they had met again after a decade and never separated ever since.

He couldn’t change what had already happened or turn back time, but he could give her the future she wanted.

“Ranran, stop talking, I agree with you!”

He had no reason to refuse anymore.

No matter how unwilling he was at that moment, that couldn’t stand against the beautiful future she envisioned.

In that moment, he had to admit that, just like her, he also wanted a child of their own. Their love crystallized in the form of a child would not just compensate for his childhood regrets. More importantly just as Ranran had once said, it would make their love complete!
