Wen Nuan was secretly surprised. Du Di knew her too? Was that Wu Shuang? A thought flashed through her mind, and she finally rembered. He had questioned her because he saw Wu Shuang’s butterfly, but she hadn’t expected Du Di and Wu Shuang to be so familiar. She had heard the detectives ntion Bai Hu, not Wu Shuang, and they didn’t know Bai Hu’s real na.
"Don’t be so surprised," Du Di said with a smile. "Once you’re feeling better, I’ll introduce you to soone else. You’ll be very happy."
"Who is it?"
"Your family mber," Du Di said with a smile. "Actually, I’ve wanted Cheng Tian to co over for a while, but I’ve been busy with worldly affairs lately, plus Ying Ying... I wanted to wait until Ying Ying’s matter was settled before telling you."
Wen Nuan raised an eyebrow. Family mber? Soone from the Long family?
"Who is it?"
"Your brother," Du Di said, looking intently at Wen Nuan. "You have a brother."
Wen Nuan was extrely surprised. She had never heard him ntion having a brother before. Wen Nuan’s heart couldn’t help but flutter with joy. Du Di smiled at her. "He doesn’t know about your situation yet. I’ll tell him slowly."
The personalities of these two siblings were truly worlds apart.
Wen Nuan nodded, wanting to thank him again, but held back. Du Di thought thanking her was too formal; the Du and Long families already had a good relationship, and he didn’t want her to be so distant.
Hearing his words, Wen Nuan recalled the events of the past day and night, still feeling like she was in a nightmare, unwilling to relive it. Du Di saw her thoughts and comforted her, saying, "Forget it. It’s just sothing insignificant in your life."
"I will forget," Wen Nuan said softly. She was certain she would forget; she truly didn’t want to relive this unhappy experience.
There was a knock at the door. Du Di, standing outside, said, "Sir, Ye Yan wants to see Miss Wen."
Wen Nuan’s heart leaped with joy. Little Bai? She looked at Dudi with surprise, "I want to see him."
...
As Mo Xiaobai and Dudi passed each other, she smiled slightly, went inside and closed the door, cheerfully calling out, "Little cousin-in-law, wow, poor thing, your neck must be stiff!"
"My goodness, you just ca like that? Aren’t you afraid of causing a sensation?" Wen Nuan smiled at Mo Xiaobai, who was dressed in a very European and Arican style, exquisite and perfect, with a noble air, and breathtakingly sexy. If she didn’t have soone even sexier than him in her heart, she would definitely be fascinated by Ye Yan, just for his face.
He was unbelievably perfect.
International superstar Ye Yan visiting her in the hospital was such a great honor. She was afraid that fans would crowd the hospital entrance. Foreign reporters gave artists a lot of privacy, not as exaggerated as in China, but Ye Yan’s identity was too special. If he were discovered, it would definitely cause a sensation.
"You’re overthinking it. This is a private hospital; the security is excellent." Xiaobai chuckled and sat down beside her. "I thought I’d see you at the fashion show, but judging by your appearance, you can’t make it."
"Yeah, there’s nothing I can do." Wen Nuan smiled, moving her aching neck. "It hurts terribly whenever I move, and my voice is awful. My English pronunciation isn’t very accurate to begin with, so I’d be embarrassed if I went."
"Haha, little cousin-in-law is as adorable as ever."
Wen Nuan suddenly beca serious. "I’m divorced from Fei Mo." In other words, she was no longer his little cousin-in-law. Mo Xiaobai didn’t care; he still called her "little cousin-in-law." Wen Nuan had no choice but to go along with him.
"The FBI went too far this ti. Because of my sister’s situation, she’s suffered. My sister said that when she sees you next ti, she’ll kiss you in person to express her gratitude." Mo Xiaobai modified Wu Shuang’s words and offered them as a bonus.
Wen Nuan wasn’t buying it at all. "You said it, don’t bla it on Wu Shuang."
"Little cousin-in-law, you really know ." Mo Xiaobai laughed, not minding Wen Nuan exposing him at all. Wen Nuan asked worriedly, "You took people down there to rescue , did you get into any trouble?"
"Don’t worry, what trouble could we get into? It’s trouble that gets us." Mo Xiaobai waved his hand generously. "Even if the FBI found our trail, it’s fine. It just reminds them how important and unsafe the infrastructure is. We’ve given them an opportunity to improve it."
Mo Xiaobai’s tone was incredibly arrogant. He had the right to say that, and Wen Nuan was basically no longer worried after hearing him say that.
"It’s good that you didn’t get into trouble. I was worried that sothing might happen. They’re very powerful." Wen Nuan said with lingering fear.
"Little cousin-in-law, that’s because you haven’t seen much of the world. You haven’t seen anything truly formidable yet. You’ll get used to it after a few more encounters." Mo Xiaobai patted her head. "You’ve impressed again. Actually, next ti you encounter a situation like this, it’s okay if you tell them about my sister. We can handle the trouble. There’s no need for you to suffer. You’re not from this world. My sister brought you this trouble undeservedly. You can choose not to bear it, and we won’t bla you."
It was rare for Mo Xiaobai to speak so seriously.
This was also Ye Feimo’s aning. Ye Feimo’s aning was very simple: whoever caused the trouble should clean it up. It wasn’t her business who was in danger. She could run as far as she could, and she would reveal as much as she could, even everything, as long as she protected herself.
Fortunately, Feimo didn’t see Wen Nuan in the basent, or she would have gone crazy.
It’s quite ironic, really. He dragged his ailing body to rescue Wen Nuan, only to see Du Di rescue her and then, unable to withstand the high-altitude flight, end up back in the hospital. If Mo Xiaobai had known Ye Feimo was outside at the ti, he might have impulsively taken Wen Nuan away.
Luckily, he didn’t. Du Di taking Wen Nuan was a legal procedure, ensuring Wen Nuan wouldn’t face any future trouble. If they had taken her, with the injured in the basent, Wen Nuan would likely have faced endless trouble.
So, impulsiveness is the devil—that’s a truth.
"Little cousin-in-law, there’s sothing I really want to ask you," Mo Xiaobai said with a smile, but his tone was unusually serious and earnest. Wen Nuan imdiately had a bad feeling.
She thought she definitely wouldn’t want to face Mo Xiaobai’s question, but seeing Mo Xiaobai’s silent gaze, Wen Nuan nodded. Mo Xiaobai asked, "I rember telling you before that you should think things through before acting. So things you care about might be things your cousin doesn’t care about. We all know about the curse, and no one has blad you. I know you left your cousin for his own good, wanting him to be healthy. Stomach cancer was just a coincidence; it really wasn’t because of you that he got it. Before he t you, Uncle Bai Ye had already predicted that he would have stomach cancer, so it has nothing to do with you. You left him with the best intentions, but what if your leaving him actually hastens his death? How would you face that?"
