“I’m not coming down with a cold,”

Wen Ran complained dissatisfied, not used to taking medicine before falling ill.

“Prevention is better than cure, Ranran. You must take medicine in order to learn the consequences of your reckless behavior. If anything bad happens to you, we’d all be anxious. When we saw the news just now, your brother immediately wanted to rush to the construction site to look for you, but was stopped by Luo Haofeng.”

“Alright.”

Wen Ran smiled apologetically, “Okay then, I’ll go to Older Brother Gu and ask for some cold medicine.”

As soon as she finished, the door to her hospital room was pushed open; a nurse came in carrying a bowl of steaming ginger soup. She said politely,”Miss Wen, here is the ginger soup made by Doctor Gu for you. He said you got wet in the rain, drinking some ginger soup will help you avoid a cold.”

Bai Xiaoxiao was taken aback for a moment and then laughed. “Gu Kai is really thoughtful, isn’t he? He got ginger soup ready so quickly?”

“As soon as Doctor Gu saw the news, he instructed me to prepare this ginger soup. Mr. Qin has also had some. Doctor Gu said that there should be some of Miss Wen’s clothes in Miss Bai’s room, so there was no need to prepare clothes for you, just ginger soup.”

The nurse had a gentle smile on her face and her eyes sparkled as she spoke about Gu Kai. It was clear that she held him in great admiration.

Wen Ran accepted the bowl of ginger soup from the nurse, it was at the perfect temperature.

“Thank you.”

“You don’t have to thank me, I’m just following Doctor Gu’s instructions.”

The nurse shook her head and smiled.

After finishing her ginger soup, Wen Ran handed the bowl back to her. The nurse glanced at Wen Ran’s clothes set aside, “Miss Wen, you’ve had your ginger soup and changed your clothes, now Doctor Gu can rest assured.”

“Ran Ran, you’re really lucky to have two such caring brothers,”

Bai Xiaoxiao remarked after the nurse left.

Wen Ran playfully rolled her eyes, “Since you admire my brothers so much, why don’t you become my sister-in-law?”

“Okay, but only if I can have both of your brothers,”

Bai Xiaoxiao answered with a silly grin plastered across her face.

Wen Ran bent at the waist, put her hand under Xiaoxiao’s chin, and gave her a naughty look. “Sure let me see how beautiful our future sister-in-law is. Then choose one from my two brothers.”

Meanwhile, in Gu Kai’s office on another floor:

Qin Mu’s wound had been dressed. He sat on the sofa with Wen Jin and Gu Kai.

Qin Mu simply recounted the incident at the construction site, at least the parts he could confirm. The full picture was still under investigation and he didn’t yet know all the details.

“Ah Mu, were the two workers’ deaths really due to operational errors? After watching the news, I noticed that the subcontractor got beaten up pretty badly by the relatives of the deceased. He probably wouldn’t be able to get out of bed in a month.”

Gu Kai looked serious and asked, while Wen Jin on the side was also grim-faced. “Does Mo Xiuchen know about the accident at the construction site?”

Qin Mu gave him a glance and said flatly, “I don’t think so. I haven’t had the chance to inform him. If he knew, he would have called back immediately.”

“Then inform him and ask him to come back and deal with this,”

If Xiuchen doesn’t return immediately, Wen Jin was worried that Ranran would continue to be involved in the entire procedure. He was fearful that she might get hurt if the situation wasn’t fully resolved within three days.

Gu Kai concurred with Wen Jin’s advice, “Ah Mu, this is not a minor accident. Two lives were lost. As the president of the corporation, Xiuchen should come back and handle the situation himself. You should inform him.”

One could argue that either of them could have called Xiuchen, but since Xiuchen had assigned Qin Mu to be in charge of the construction project, it seemed appropriate for him to make the call.

A wave of contradiction washed over Qin Mu and he scrunched his brows.

Xiuchen was still dealing with unfinished business in D country. If he returned now, it would spell trouble there. But, if he didn’t return, Ranran might inadvertently be implicated in this accident and could potentially get hurt.

“Wait…”

He was about to explain further when his mobile phone rang abruptly, interrupting him. Qian Mu glanced at Gu Kai and Wen Jin before answering the call:

“Hello!”

The call was from Qing Yang who, along with his partner Qing Feng, had gathered quite a bit of information about the incident. After adopting a mix of the ‘carrot and stick’ approach, they had gained a decent understanding of the situation.

Qin Mu had put the call on speaker, so both Wen Jin and Gu Kai could hear all the details of the accident reported by Qing Yang. “…President Qin, this was the situation. The subcontractor really had this coming for him.”

“Okay, I got it!”

The atmosphere in the office became a tad heavier after the call from Qing Yang.

Qin Mu, now with a headache, rubbed his forehead. If this accident was due to a fault in the workers’ operation, it would have been easier to handle, but with the current situation…

“Ah Mu, what do you plan to do?”

Gu Kai asked as he looked at the stone-faced Qin Mu.

“Qing Yang and Qing Feng were able to unearth the truth, so the police who are conducting the investigation will surely do so as well. Let’s just let them handle it.”

“Wait for the police to conclude their investigation?”

Wen Jin frowned. The people implicated in this incident were not only the subcontractor and the city’s construction company. The person truly responsible for the matter was a reputable figure.

“Yes, what else can we do? The project has already been halted. Let them investigate first.”

Qin Mu looked at Wen Jin. He knew what Wen Jin was worrying about, but they had to wait and see how those involved were going to react in this situation.

Footsteps could be heard in the hallway. Gu Kai looked at Qin Mu and Wen Jin and whispered in a muted voice: “Ran Ran is coming.”

As soon as the words tumbled out of his mouth, he stood up and went to open the door.

Wen Jin was startled, his eyes following Gu Kai’s confident stride. The reason he was able to detect Ranran’s footsteps was because they had shared a sibling bond for over a decade. It was intriguing how Gu Kai could instantly recognize those steps. This revelation stirred something complex deep inside him.

The door swung open and there she was, Wen Ran.

A soft smile bloomed on Gu Kai’s face as he adoringly looked at the lady before him. “Ran Ran, why didn’t you spend more time with Bai Xiaoxiao?”

Wen Ran grinned and walked into the office. She glanced at Qin Mu sitting on the sofa, then at Wen Jin, and joked, “Xiaoxiao envied me just now, saying how both you and big brother are so nice to me. So, I proposed that she could choose one among you two to become my sister-in-law. And then, she kicked me out.”

“Haha, Ran Ran, you really have the nerve to crack such a joke. Fortunately, it was only Xiaoxiao who heard it. I’m really scared that Ah Feng would have thrown you out the window if he had heard.”

Gu Kai burst into laughter while Wen Jin twitched his mouth and glared at Wen Ran. “Ran Ran, even if I had allowed you to find a potential sister-in-law for me, you can’t pick someone who’s already got her heart set on someone.”

Wen Ran blinked her innocent eyes and asked, “Who’s taken? What business does Luo Haofeng have with Xiaoxiao having a boyfriend? Brother, Older Brother Gu, from the way you both are talking it sounds like Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng are dating. Ah Mu, is this true?”

Just as the door had opened, Wen Ran sensed the seriousness of the atmosphere in the office. Therefore, she decided to act frivolously to lighten the mood.
