Chapter 780: 779 The person he wants to see


    An Lin and Wen Ran went downstairs together, An Lin was headed towards home while Wen Ran headed to the airport to pick up Mo Xiuchen.


    On the way, Wen Ran received a call from Qin Mu, he simply said, “Ranran, I heard Mo Xiuchen has arrived in City C. Please be careful and drive safely. Don’t rush.”


    Not wishing to distract her while she was driving, he hung up shortly after expressing his concern.


    Wen Ran was not speeding, but her emotions were fluctuating and she couldn’t calm herself down. Whenever she thought of Mo Xiuchen waiting for her at the airport, she felt strangelyplex.


    Although Mo Xiuchen doesn’t remember her, he’s back after all.


    Thinking back to the prevailing scenes of him enduring excruciating pain in secret, transferring the virus into his body in order to save her, barely clutching the steering wheel, Wen Ran’s hands clenched fiercely.


    ...


    In reality, it really didn’t matter if Mo Xiuchen remembered her or not.


    What mattered more to her was that he was well, alive, and healthy. Even though he had lost his memory of her, how could she not feel satisfied by that gesture?


    Inparison to Cheng Jia, she realized how lucky she was.


    Although Wen Ran’s emotions were in turmoil, she dared not to be careless. She reached the airport, parked her car, and took a couple of deep breaths before getting out. She then pulled out her mobile phone and dialed a number.


    After two rings, Mo Xiuchen’s voice came through the signal, “Ranran.”


    “Where are you? I’m at the airport.”


    “I see you. Stay where you are, I’lle to you,” came Mo Xiuchen’s voice, mixed with some background noise. Wen Ran looked around in surprise, and finally spotted his tall and handsome figure among the crowd.


    In that instant, Wen Ran’s heartbeat paused, her eyes focused on him and she couldn’t tear her gaze away.


    Grasping her phone tightly, she stood still, unable to move a step, her eyes glued to the man walking towards her.


    The light hit his expertly carved features, highlighting their depth and detail. Among the crowd, his elegance, upright stature, and noble demeanor stood out notably.


    Watching him approach step by step, Wen Ran’s thoughts became chaotic. She felt excessively excited, but dared not reveal it. A tiny smile emerged on her face, her gaze still lightly locked onto him.


    Mo Xiuchen had a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, and it continued to spread into his profound eyes. As he got closer, Wen Ran could smell his familiar yet refreshing scent.


    He finally stood before her.


    His tall figure cast a shadow on her, enveloping her in it.


    He paused, the smile at the corners of his mouth deepening, as he looked intently at her, barely parting his lips to say, “Ranran.”


    His voice was so tender that it brought tears to Wen Ran’s heart. She could barely control her emotions, herposure almost cracked by it.


    She gently pressed her lips together, managing a slight smile: “Let’s go, I’d like to take you out for a meal.”


    It required unfathomable courage for her to curb the urge to throw herself into his arms when he called her “Ranran” in his velvety and warm tone.


    From the moment she spotted him in the crowd, she felt time had stopped, her world had turned oblivious to everything else apart from him. As he made his way towards her, it seemed as though a lifetime had passed.


    Mo Xiuchen let out a low, contented sound ofughter, happily replying, “Alright!”


    He opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.


    After making sure he was settled, Wen Ran opened the car door and got into the driver’s seat.


    After closing the car door, the familiar, refreshing scent of him became more prominent, her heartbeat elerated, and her grip on the seatbelt tightened unconsciously.


    From the corner of her eye, Mo Xiuchen was already buckled in, sitting at a slight angle, with a hint ofughter in his eyes. He watched her warmly, as though they had known each other for a lifetime.


    “What would you like to eat?”


    Wen Ran couldn’t bear the sight of his deep and gentle gaze. As she fastened her seatbelt, she quickly nced over at him, promptly averting her gaze, she rested her hands on the steering wheel.


    “Ranran, why haven’t you asked me, why I came to City C?”


    As Mo Xiuchen looked leisurely at her, he noticed that this young woman was trying hard to control her emotions. He could see she was very excited by his sudden visit, but, she tried to mask it by maintaining her calmness.


    She drove to the airportte at night to pick him up. When they met, it was clear she was thrilled, but she never addressed him by his name.


    Mo Xiuchen was curious and felt a little heartache simultaneously.


    Wen Ran paused, ncing at him in surprise.


    Meeting his gaze, she tried hard not to divert her gaze, and answered with a smile, “You can’t havee to City C just for this meal, right?”


    “Ranran, yes, I did,” Mo Xiuchen replied, candid and clear about his intentions.


    He leaned slightly towards Wen Ran, his smile bing more pronounced. His maic voice rang out in the confined space of the car: “I mentioned wanting you to take me out for a meal. And here I am in G City, just as you arrive in City C. Since there wasn’t anyone I specifically wanted to see in G City, I came here to see you instead.”


    Wen Ran was caught off guard. She was easily moved by his words. He said he didn’t have anyone in G City whom he wanted to see, so he came to see her here.


    Did that mean she was someone he wanted to see?


    She didn’t dare to ask. Her smile froze on her face momentarily at his words, but she regained herposure, turned to him and asked calmly, “So, what do you feel like eating?”


    “I don’t mind anything. It’ste now, so why don’t we have something you’d like for supper?”


    Mo Xiuchen was indifferent about the choice of food. What he really wanted to know was what she liked to eat.


    Surprised, Wen Ran blinked at Mo Xiuchen’s open-minded proposition and then smiled, “Why don’t we go have some barbecue?”


    “Okay.”


    Mo Xiuchen saw a fleeting hint of mischief in her eyes, his own narrowed in response, and he leaned back into his seat, and nodded his head in agreement.


    Mo Xiuchen didn’t like junk food like steak before he lost his memory. Wen Ran remembered that once she had gone out for a barbeque meal with her brother, Gu Kai. Mo Xiuchen had joined themter. Even though he had eaten, it was clear he didn’t enjoy it much.


    He hade all the way to City Cte at night, insisting she treat him to a meal and his every word seemed to gently taunt her. She thought, why couldn’t she tease him a little too?


    Upon hearing his agreement, Wen Ran didn’t say anything more but merely smiled warmly, and started the car.


    Throughout the journey, Mo Xiuchen was quiet, his gaze fixed on her. Wen Ran waspletely focused on driving. Just like the old times, even though it was peaceful, the atmosphere in the car was warm and tranquil.
