Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 975: 974 you are so strange Chapter 975: 974 you are so strange “What are you thanking me for? I feel like I’ve become such a gossip,” Bai Yiyi teased herself over the phone, prompting a light laugh from Wen Ran. Choosing to ignore the emotions within her, she said, “It’s okay, if I don’t tell anyone else, no one will know you’re a gossip.”

Their playful banter made them feel like they had been friends for a long time, rather than just acquaintances who had only met once or twice.

On the phone, Bai Yiyi laughed, “Okay, then it’s settled. You can’t tell anyone how gossipy I am. I’m striving to be a cool and mysterious goddess.”

“Pfft–”

The gloom in Wen Ran’s heart truly dispersed with Bai Yiyi’s words. After she finished laughing, she asked with concern, “You mentioned earlier that Tongtong had a fever. Has it gotten better?”

“Sigh, not yet. And that awful Shen Yuting, she actually said that her hospital is no longer welcoming Tongtong. What kind of person says that? As if we liked going there in the first place. If it weren’t for that hospital being close to my home, I wouldn’t even bother going.”

Bai Yiyi was clearly irritated when she brought this up.

She simply couldn’t tolerate Shen Yuting making baseless accusations and pushing all the blame onto others, especially when the person she was blaming happened to be Wen Ran whom Bai Yiyi knew.

So she had interjected a few comments, unaware that Shen Yuting, who was already annoyed with Wen Ran, would lash out so aggressively.

“How could she be like that, that’s just too much. You should bring Tongtong to Kangning Hospital first. When babies are sick, it can’t be delayed. It just so happens I’m also at Kangning Hospital right now. Where are you at the moment?”

“You’re at Kangning Hospital? Then I’ll bring Tongtong over in a bit. I was thinking of taking him to another hospital tomorrow for a check-up, but since you’re there, I might as well use a back door.”

Initially, Bai Yiyi had no intention of going to Kangning Hospital.

The last person she wanted to encounter was Gu Kai; to her, Gu Kai was like a plague. Not only did nothing good come from meeting him, but he might also take revenge for the times she had thwarted him in the past.

But upon hearing that Wen Ran was at Kangning Hospital, she found herself tempted.

Glancing down at the baby who had just fallen asleep in her arms, Bai Yiyi made up her mind and said to Li En, who was driving, “Elder Brother Li, let’s go to Kangning Hospital. Wen Ran is there, and I have something to discuss with her.”

“Okay!”

Li En glanced at Bai Yiyi through the rearview mirror, somewhat puzzled as to why she was going out of her way for Wen Ran. Just now, at the hospital, she even argued with Shen Yuting on behalf of Wen Ran.

In Li En’s view, even if Yiyi’s father, his teacher, had once hurt Wen Ran, in the end, Yiyi had saved her life. Moreover, his teacher’s original plan to target Kangning Hospital was abandoned because of Wen Ran. With all these events combined, Yiyi no longer had any reason to feel indebted to Wen Ran.

There was even less reason for her to stand up for Wen Ran.

When Wen Ran saw Gu Kai return, she immediately pulled him aside and said, “Brother, come with me to meet someone outside.”

“Meet someone? Who are we meeting?” Gu Kai asked, visibly confused and slightly furrowing his brows at Wen Ran. Who had she been on the phone with just now?

Wen Ran smiled slightly and explained, “It’s Bai Yiyi. Brother, do you remember her?”

“Bai Yiyi, was she the one who just called? What is she coming to the hospital for?” Gu Kai’s expression changed as he thought of that woman named Bai Yiyi, with whom he had several grievances.

Wen Ran’s eyes twinkled gently as she said, “Brother, although Bai Yiyi is Fu Jingyi’s daughter, we can’t hold Fu Jingyi’s actions against her, right? Her baby is sick, and it was me who told her to bring the baby to Kangning Hospital.”

“Her daughter is sick?” There was a complex look in Gu Kai’s eyes. He had someone look into Bai Yiyi’s past just a few days ago, and indeed, as Ranran had said, Bai Yiyi had never been in a relationship.

Such a shrewish and detestable woman, no wonder no man wants her.

But she has never had a boyfriend—where did her daughter come from? The thought made Gu Kai frown even more deeply.

Wen Ran squinted her eyes in surprise, her gaze inquisitive as she stared at Gu Kai, “Brother, why are you acting so strangely, and besides, you’re asking so many questions today. When you see Bai Yiyi later, you can’t act like this, it’ll spoil your noble and pure doctor image, you know?”

Gu Kai suppressed the doubts in his heart, glared at her with his eyes, and seemed to think of something else. He then said, “Ranran, didn’t Fu Jingyi have someone investigate who Bai Yiyi’s daughter’s father is? Since you’re so good to her, why not ask her who the father of her daughter is?”

“That doesn’t seem appropriate; that’s her privacy. Besides, my relationship with her isn’t that close.”

Wen Ran shook her head with some difficulty. Bai Yiyi wouldn’t even tell Li En, who had always been by her side, so how could she tell her, someone she had just met?

Gu Kai nodded, “That’s true. Aren’t you going to welcome her? Go ahead.”

Wen Ran was originally afraid he wouldn’t go, but when she heard him say this, she immediately smiled with glee, “Brother, you’re the best.”

“Of course I am.” Gu Kai raised an eyebrow, not a hint of modesty in his manner.

The two took the elevator downstairs. When they reached the hospital’s main entrance, Gu Kai suddenly stopped Wen Ran, who was about to go outside, “Ranran, it’s ok just to wait here.”

Outside, not only was the cold wind biting, but it had also started to rain. He couldn’t bear to let Ranran wait outside for Bai Yiyi.

Wen Ran turned to look at Gu Kai, blinked, and said, “Brother, go find an umbrella.”

“Alright.” Gu Kai glanced at the outside, his brow lightly furrowed as he responded and then went into the security room to get an umbrella. He came out and said to Wen Ran, “Wait here, I’ll go outside and fetch her.”

Wen Ran hesitated for a moment, knowing that her brother was fond of her; otherwise, he wouldn’t bother fetching someone he didn’t have a good impression of.

Especially since that person was a woman.

It was said that ‘birds of a feather flock together,’ and there’s truth in that.

Gu Kai, Mo Xiuchen, Luo Haofeng, as well as Qin Mu—these men were as close as brothers. They appeared to have different personalities but shared a common trait: pride and self-esteem.

In their treatment of women, they all exhibited indifference. Even Luo Haofeng, who was a playboy among women, wasn’t warm to unfamiliar women.

“Brother, let me go instead. I’m wearing so much I won’t catch a cold.”

Wen Ran reached out to take the umbrella from Gu Kai’s hand, but he frowned and raised his hand to avoid her,”Ranran, I know you’re kindhearted, but that Bai Yiyi isn’t worth you catching a cold over. If you get sick, Mo Xiuchen will come back and trouble me again.”

“…”

Wen Ran opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t explain.

She wasn’t the kindhearted person Gu Kai described. She just wanted to return tenfold the kindness shown to her by others. Not to mention that Bai Yiyi had offended Shen Yuting because of her; simply the fact that she had reminded her was enough to make her grateful.

A complete stranger was more beneficial than a cousin she was related to.

But she didn’t want to tell Gu Kai and provoke his anger again.

When Gu Kai pushed the door open to leave, he didn’t forget to remind Wen Ran, “Don’t you come out, wait here.”
