Wen Ran smiled, saying, "Yes, Older Brother Gu said that if he had a sister, she might be about my age. That might be why he treats me so well."
"I see that you're good to him, too."
When Mo Xiuchen said this, the pinch of jealousy seeped into his tone. Wen Ran was good to Wen Jin because he had been her brother for over a decade. But she treated Gu Kai with the same kindness as well.
Even though he knew her feelings for Gu Kai were not romantic, and Gu Kai's feelings for her weren't of a man to a woman, he couldn't help but feel stifled.
He used to think of himself as a cold person, unaffected by matters of men and women. Even when he kept thinking about the little girl from years ago, it was mostly out of gratitude. But now, the more he spent time with Wen Ran, the stronger his possessiveness of her became.
"I feel at ease with Older Brother Gu just like with my brother. If you don't want me to get close to him, I'll limit my interactions with him," Wen Ran said.
