Wen Ran gazed out of the car. Outside, Wen Jin stood tall in the afterglow of the setting sun. Half of his handsome face was bathed in a golden glow, while the other half was shrouded in shadow, emphasizing his striking facial features even more.

Seeing her look up, he smiled warmly at her with a fond look in his dark eyes. His lips raised slightly at the corners, reaching out a long, fair-skinned hand to her. Wen Ran pursed her lips, bent over and climbed out of the car.

Wen Jin caught her small hand, holding it tenderly in his warm palm. He spoke with a smile, “Ran Ran, you rarely come back. This time, spend a bit longer at home.”

The two walked into the living room, Auntie Li had just come out from the kitchen. Upon seeing Wen Ran, Auntie Li was overjoyed.

However, her smile froze as soon as she saw the redness and swelling around Wen Ran’s eyes.

She quickly approached with a concerned expression, looked intently at Wen Ran, and asked anxiously, “What happened to you, Ran Ran? Who bullied you?”

Wen Jin glanced at the concerned Auntie Li and then at Wen Ran. Instead of answering Auntie Li’s question, he reassured her, “Auntie Li, Ran Ran will be staying here for a few days. Make some dishes that Ran Ran loves tonight. I’ll take her upstairs to rest for a while.”

“Oh, alright!”

Auntie Li’s eyes flashed with confusion, seeing Wen Ran’s miserable and heartbroken face, she didn’t dare to ask more.

“Ran Ran, let me take you to your room.”

Wen Jin gently laid his arm over Wen Ran’s shoulder, she nodded, too desolate to greet Auntie Li. She followed Wen Jin upstairs and returned to her room.

Even though she hadn’t lived here for months, her room was still spotless, and her bed was neatly made.

As if everything was the same, she stood at the doorway, staring at her room, there was a brief moment of disorientation, it felt like she had just slept here last night.

“Ran Ran, go to bed and get some good sleep.”

Wen Ran raised her head, looking at Wen Jin’s handsome and gentle face, she asked with a whisper, “Brother, you’ve known for a while, haven’t you?”

Wen Jin’s eyes flickered slightly before he responded with a soft smile. He placed his hand on her shoulder, urging her to enter the room. He spoke gently, “Ran Ran, let’s talk after you’ve rested. I’ll tell you everything you want to know, alright?”

“I’m not sleepy, Brother, I want to know the truth now, right now.”

Wen Ran tried to suppress the sadness in her heart, attempting to keep her voice steady.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

She didn’t want to be kept in the dark anymore. Since Wen Jin knew the truth, and everyone else had known the truth long ago. Would their version of the truth be different from what Fu Jingyi had said?

Deep down, she still clung to a glimmer of hope that what Fu Jingyi said wasn’t true.

Moreover, after a long journey of thought, she had calmed down substantially, not like the emotionally overwrought mess she had been earlier at the hotel.

She could carefully think about what Fu Jingyi had said, and she could listen to Wen Jin’s truth with a calm mind.

Seeing the plea in her eyes, Wen Jin fell silent for a moment before finally agreeing with a reluctant nod.

He walked her to the sofa, sat her down on the fabric-covered couch, and sat next to her. He took a light breath, met her gaze with a warm look, and said slowly, “Ran Ran, can you first tell me who phoned you?”

At his words, Wen Ran shuddered slightly.

Wen Jin’s gaze grew stricter. From her slight change in expression and trembling, he could guess a name. On seeing her eyes, his own reflected complexity.

“He said, he’s Fu Jingyi.”

Wen Ran tried to keep her voice as steady as possible, forcing herself to calm down.

She knew they wouldn’t believe her if she claimed not to know who the caller was.

Therefore, if she didn’t say, they would continue to ask. Another reason was, by telling Wen Jin that it was Fu Jingyi who phoned her, there was no way he could keep hiding what he knew from her.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

She wanted to know the entire truth: just how long they had concealed it, how much they had hidden, and the exact extent of her current situation…

Upon hearing her words, Wen Jin’s complexion changed. His gaze, steady on Wen Ran, asked the same question with a hint of shock, “Fu Jingyi?”

Although he had already speculated as much, he was still surprised, perhaps subconsciously hoping he was wrong.

“Uh huh.”

Wen Ran nodded, her bright eyes unwavering as they stared at Wen Jin.

He was very surprised but she guessed he wasn’t that shocked. It crossed her mind that Fu Jingyi might have contacted him before this.

She guessed correctly.

Last time, Fu Jingyi had called her father Gu Yan. Whatever he had said to Gu Yan, he had said the same to Wen Ran today, and even more.

Wen Jin released a heavy sigh: So it really was that psychopath Fu Jingyi who had called her, no wonder she had driven Mo Xiuchen away.

“Brother!”

Wen Ran waited for a moment, but when Wen Jin remained silent, her heart sank. She softly called him.

Wen Jin suppressed the shock and speculation brewing within him. His attractive eyebrows creased slightly and he spoke in a soft yet strained voice, “Ran Ran, what the paper wrote isn’t completely true. Director Gu is working on a method to cure your illness.”

A bitter smile spread over Wen Ran’s face. The melancholy undertone in her soft voice responded, “Brother, you don’t have to comfort me. I want the truth. Knew about it before anyone else, didn’t you?”

“Yes.”

Wen Jin pursed his lips and admitted the truth.

Wen Ran clenched her small hands tight, before asking, “When did you find out?”

“Back then, when Dad saved you, you were severely injured. He took you to the hospital, and the doctors did some tests and found out about some conditions.”

Wen Ran’s face paled instantly. Seeing her suddenly pale face, Wen Jin felt a pang of pain in his heart.

“Ran Ran, the medical field wasn’t as advanced then vs. now. The results that came out then were just estimations, even the doctors weren’t very sure…”

Part of Wen Jin’s words were true while part of them were consoling.

Wen Ran’s body stiffened. Her hands and feet, ice-cold.

“So, you were the one who told Mo Xiuchen and Older Brother Gu?”

Her voice choked slightly when she spoke again, causing Wen Jin’s heart to clench. He saw the moisture gathering in her eyes, and his own were troubled. He continued, “Originally, I didn’t know you were Gu Kai’s sister, and I had no intention of revealing your identity to anyone else. But Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen, relying on intuition, believed that you were the person they were looking for.”

“Because of that, Gu Kai even conducted a DNA test on your hair. That day, when they approached me together, I told them about your background.”

Wen Jin’s gaze swept over Wen Ran’s tightly clenched hands. His brow furrowed, and he reached out to hold one of her hands, soothing her softly, “Ran Ran, let go of your hand.”
