Chapter 1349: Chapter 1349: Happy Newlywed

Zhou Ran returned to the hospital room to find Shen Cexian waiting for her.

"Have Achi and the others left?" Shen Cexian’s voice was hoarse, his gaze profound.

"Mhm, they’ve gone home," Zhou Ran said.

"Achi has liked that girl Chaomu for so many years, and now he’s finally gotten his wish," reflected Shen Cexian with some emotion.

"When you think about it, it really is better to be with someone you love rather than with someone you don’t love. You can’t settle for less when it comes to love."

"As a father, how could I not understand Achi’s thoughts? I thought that after so many years, even the deepest of feelings would fade, but Achi is very persistent."

"If it weren’t for his persistence, today’s scene would have been different," Zhou Ran said.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore. I can’t control him anyway."

"He’s already so grown-up, what’s there for you to control?" Zhou Ran laughed, "I’ve stopped trying to as well."

Zhou Ran realized that sometimes, letting things take their natural course wasn’t such a bad thing.

"By the way, Achi said Xiaobao is his biological son. Do you think he could be fooling us and even fooling himself?" Shen Cexian asked doubtfully.

Zhou Ran frowned, "Achi isn’t the kind of person who likes to deceive himself, and besides, Xiaobao really does look a lot like Achi."

"Speaking of which, Wen Zhiyuan is on duty tonight. I think we might as well ask Wen Zhiyuan. Achi and Wen Zhiyuan are on good terms. If Achi had taken a paternity test, Wen Zhiyuan would definitely know," said Shen Cexian.

"Wen Zhiyuan?" Zhou Ran sighed, "It’s a good idea to ask; I’ve been wanting to talk to him about Adi’s situation."

"Mhm."

Wen Zhiyuan was indeed on night shift; he did not know Shen Chi had been to the hospital, but he was aware that Shen Cexian had coughed up blood and undergone surgery.

Zhou Ran had come to ask him over personally, which Wen Zhiyuan had not expected.

"Mrs. Zhou, Chairman Shen," Wen Zhiyuan greeted after arriving at the hospital room.

"Zhiyuan, have a seat. I just saw off Achi and his family," Zhou Ran said.

"Did the young master return?"

"Yes, he came back today and just got off the plane. Chaomu was here too, Xiaobao is really cute."

"You’ve seen Xiaobao as well; the little guy is indeed very cute," Wen Zhiyuan responded with a smile.

Zhou Ran didn’t have much interaction with Wen Zhiyuan, but she really liked him, especially his composure and gentle nature.

Wen Zhiyuan had taken care of Shen Di for many years in Australia until the two had a disagreement and Wen Zhiyuan returned to his country.

"Achi told me Xiaobao is his biological son, which really took me by surprise," Zhou Ran said.

Wen Zhiyuan understood; Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian had called him over probably to ask about this matter.

With a hint of indifference, he said, "I was also surprised when I first found out, but the paternity test report is legitimate. Xiaobao and the young master also resemble each other a lot."

"Paternity test? They’ve done a paternity test?"

Wen Zhiyuan nodded, "Mhm."

Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu had already confessed to Zhou Ran, and he had no reason to hide anything. It seemed like their family hadn’t had any disputes, and everything was progressing in a positive direction.

"I said it, Xiaobao and Achi really do look alike, as if they were cast from the same mold," Zhou Ran said.

"Yes, not only do they look alike, but their temperaments are similar too."

"Yes, seeing them doing well also puts my mind at ease."

"Mhm, there’s nothing more fortunate than being able to grow old together," Wen Zhiyuan sighed.

"Back then, Cexian and I did something quite unfair to Chaomu, and you, Doctor Wen, are aware of it," Zhou Ran said. "Fortunately, it didn’t lead to a major mistake. I should also thank you, as I heard that Chaomu had intended to abort the child in her belly."

Wen Zhiyuan smiled slightly: "What’s past is past, and I simply did what I thought was right."

He still remembered the look of utter despair in Xu Chaomu’s eyes, at that time the rain was pouring, and her tears were even colder than the rain...

Now when he thinks about it, it somewhat breaks his heart, but thankfully, as Zhou Ran said, no major mistake was made.

"Zhiyuan, are you on the night shift again today?" Zhou Ran asked with concern.

"Night shifts aren’t that tough. There aren’t many patients at the Luo Family’s hospital at night," Wen Zhiyuan said.

"If you’re bored, come here and sit for a while," Zhou Ran said.

Wen Zhiyuan nodded. He found that Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian had both changed subtly, like how they were rarely this enthusiastic in the past.

Maybe they’ve grown older and have learned to let go of many things.

"By the way, Zhiyuan... Adi is about to return to the country," Zhou Ran said.

Wen Zhiyuan was startled, his brow slightly furrowed: "She..."

"Her health has been better recently, and she plans to return to the country to get engaged before going to Australia. Haven’t you not seen each other for many years?" Zhou Ran asked.

Zhou Ran hadn’t visited the Shen Family much over the years, and she didn’t know Wen Zhiyuan very well. She only knew that Wen Zhiyuan had bought a small villa in the Splendid World.

"Yes, it’s been quite a while," Wen Zhiyuan nodded slightly, his clean, handsome face as calm as a deep pool of water.

"I’ll let you know when she returns. If you’re not too busy, come by the Shen Family."

Wen Zhiyuan still nodded politely, but his eyebrows frowned slightly, and his eyes were deep like the water.

"If it weren’t for Adi’s consistent health issues, she probably would have been married by now," Zhou Ran felt somewhat emotional, "Sometimes she can be a bit temperamental. If you ever had any disputes with her back in Australia, don’t hold it against her."

Wen Zhiyuan smiled faintly: "I won’t."

"I also know you won’t hold it against her. She’s a bit childlike in her temperament, so that’s why I especially like you and Qin Chen, for being able to accommodate her."

Wen Zhiyuan kept an appropriate smile on his lips but said nothing more.

After chatting with Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian in the ward for a while, he left.

Walking through the empty hospital corridor, he looked straight ahead, but ripples quietly emanated from his heart.

She was finally getting married. After all these years, it was time to wish her "Happy Wedding."

Wen Zhiyuan’s footsteps were neither light nor heavy as he slowly walked to his office. His figure was elongated by the light, standing solitary.

...

Half a month later, Mo Shuifu made a phone call to Shen Chi.

Shen Chi was at home with Xu Chaomu, and Xiao Mo had already returned to the country. Receiving a call from Mo Shuifu didn’t surprise him.

"Young Master Four," Mo Shuifu’s voice was calm, neither sad nor joyful, and her face was as serene as always.

"What is it?"

"I want to bring Shihan back to the country," Mo Shuifu said.

"The medical standards in the United States are more advanced. I’m worried it won’t be as convenient after returning to the country."

"I’ve thought about it a lot, but whether Shihan can wake up or not, it depends more on fate. I still want to bring him back; after all, C City is the place he’s most attached to."

Shen Chi pondered for a few seconds, then nodded: "If you’ve made up your mind, I’ll find someone to help you."

"Thank you, Young Master Four," Mo Shuifu thanked him with gratitude.
