Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1071: 1070 is just tricking me into leaving

“I just don’t like that man.”

Gu Kai’s words left Qin Mu and Mo Xiuchen both speechless.

“Ah Kai, you’re a man, and Li En is also a man. It’s none of your business who Bai Yiyi chooses as her husband, right?” Mo Xiuchen asked amusedly, feeling that Ah Kai must have just found out that Tongtong was his daughter and gotten shocked, which made him not think straight.

“But she’s going to take Tongtong with her. If she marries Li En, Tongtong is going to recognize Li En as her dad, of course, it’s my business.”

Gu Kai said assertively; he simply couldn’t stand that man with the last name Li, who gave off a cold vibe.

“That seems to make some sense, but will Bai Yiyi listen to you? Even if she doesn’t marry Li En, she’ll marry some other man eventually. You can’t expect Bai Yiyi to stay single her whole life.” Qin Mu furrowed his brows and spoke indifferently.

With an ‘I’m obviously right’ expression, Gu Kai replied, “If Bai Yiyi can’t make even that sacrifice, she can forget about me agreeing to her raising Tongtong.”

“She’ll probably agree.” Mo Xiuchen said confidently.

“Mo Xiuchen, why are you so sure?” Qin Mu asked, puzzled.

He had always been in City C and wasn’t clear about the situation in G City, especially concerning the matters between Gu Kai and Bai Yiyi; he knew too little.

Therefore, when Gu Kai came to him to drink silently and share his troubles, he had suggested that Gu Kai call Mo Xiuchen to join them.

Mo Xiuchen glanced at him and explained patiently, “Bai Yiyi loves her daughter very much, there’s no doubt about that. Didn’t Ah Kai say it? Bai Yiyi told him, as long as he doesn’t take Tongtong away, she’ll agree to any other condition.”

“But that doesn’t mean she’ll never marry anyone.”

Mo Xiuchen’s lips curled into a faint smile, “She doesn’t like Li En, Ah Kai, do you remember when we encountered Li En confessing to Bai Yiyi?”

Gu Kai nodded, of course, he remembered.

In fact, every time he saw Li En, he disliked him even more.

“If Bai Yiyi liked Li En, she wouldn’t have waited until now. I think, her claim that Li En is her boyfriend probably stems from your suspicion and interrogation.”

Hearing Mo Xiuchen’s explanation, Gu Kai felt a little better, “So you’re saying, Bai Yiyi really doesn’t like Li En, and only used him as a shield to keep me from finding out about Tongtong’s backstory?”

“Mhm, that’s pretty much it.”

Mo Xiuchen nodded; the onlooker sees most of the game.

He watched Gu Kai’s mood improve and a question flashed through his mind, but he chose not to ask.

Gu Kai’s lips slightly curved upwards, pondering to use this condition to negotiate with Bai Yiyi tomorrow when his cellphone rang abruptly.

He pulled it out and saw an unfamiliar number on the screen. His brows furrowed as he answered the call in a not quite pleasant tone, “Hello?”

“Doctor Gu, this is Little Liu from the security department. Miss Bai is now trying to leave the hospital.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Kai’s face, which had just softened, immediately frosted over, a chill passing through his eyes, “Don’t let her leave; I’m on my way back now.”

“Okay.”

“That detestable woman Bai Yiyi, she hid Tongtong’s story from me and now, realizing that I know, she even intends to flee in the middle of the night. Mo Xiuchen, Ah Mu, I need to go to the hospital first; you guys settle the bill.”

After saying this, Gu Kai stood up and left.

“You’ve been drinking; you can’t drive.”

“I’ll take you.” Mo Xiuchen looked toward Qin Mu and quickly followed Gu Kai.

Gu Kai didn’t refuse Mo Xiuchen’s offer to go to the hospital. He had had quite a bit to drink tonight, and although not drunk, if he were caught driving, it wouldn’t be good.

Qin Mu also went to the hospital with them.

Stepping out of the car, Gu Kai waved his hand to Mo Xiuchen and Qin Mu and walked toward the hospital entrance.

“Mo Xiuchen, should we follow him and have a look?” Qin Mu looked at Gu Kai’s departing figure with some unease and asked Mo Xiuchen.

Mo Xiuchen held the steering wheel with one hand while slightly turning his body to look out of the car window and said in an obscure tone, “No need, Ah Kai didn’t get drunk. He knows what he’s doing.”

Qin Mu’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. Why did it sound like Mo Xiuchen’s words held deeper meaning?

“Ah Mu, how about we make a bet?”

It wasn’t until Gu Kai entered the hospital that Mo Xiuchen withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Qin Mu, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, “Bet on what?”

Mo Xiuchen smiled and said, “I bet whether Ah Kai will break up with Fang Zhiwei and marry Bai Yiyi.”

“You’re joking, right?” Qin Mu stared at Mo Xiuchen’s handsome face, where certitude was written between his brows.

Mo Xiuchen shook his head, “I’m serious. Do you want to bet or not?”

“Fine, we’ll bet. I also bet that Ah Kai will break up with Fang Zhiwei and marry Bai Yiyi,” Qin Mu said earnestly.

Mo Xiuchen gave him a look, “Boring.”

“Ha-ha, although what you said sounds like a tall tale, you’ve always had an accurate intuition. I don’t believe it, but I’m willing to take that bet,” Qin Mu teased with a laugh.

Back then, solely based on intuition, Mo Xiuchen had identified Wen Ran as his life-saving benefactor from years past, rather than believing Cheng Jia, whom all evidence pointed to as the benefactor. He even went to great lengths to find proof that Cheng Jia was a fake.

At first, Qin Mu thought Mo Xiuchen was crazy.

But later on, the facts proved that Mo Xiuchen’s damned intuition was right.

“Really?” Mo Xiuchen’s profound eyes narrowed slightly, “Then I’ll make another bet, that you and An Lin will ultimately become husband and wife.”

“Knock it off.”

Qin Mu’s expression darkened, and he scolded sharply.

“I never lie. An Lin is the most suitable for you. If you marry her, I won’t give you a wedding gift,” Mo Xiuchen said deliberately, as Qin Mu had expressed his trust in Mo Xiuchen’s intuition.

He purposely said he and An Lin would end up together.

**

In the hospital ward.

Bai Yiyi was stopped by the security, not allowed to leave, and while arguing, Tongtong woke up, so she had to return to the ward with Tongtong in her arms.

When the knocking sound accompanied by Gu Kai’s voice came, Bai Yiyi had just lulled Tongtong back to sleep.

“Bai Yiyi, open the door.”

Gu Kai’s voice was filled with thick fury, its heaviness making one’s heart tense.

Bai Yiyi’s heart skipped a beat, and her beautiful eyebrows tightly knitted together.

She dawdled before finally walking to the door and opening it, only to be immediately confronted by a strong smell of alcohol.

“Have you been drinking?”

With one hand pinching her nose, Bai Yiyi used her other hand to fan away the alcohol fumes in front of her, looking displeased at Gu Kai.

Before her, Gu Kai’s tall and upright figure towered more than half a head above her. He had one hand propped against the wall by the door, his gaze heavy as he looked at her.

Seeing her look of disgust and waving her hand to dispel the alcohol fumes, Gu Kai’s heart flared with anger. He reached out and grabbed Bai Yiyi’s wrist, leaning forward, his half-narrowed eyes staring down at her with deep anger.

“Let go of me, what are you doing?”

Bai Yiyi protested as her wrist throbbed from his grip, but she did not forget that this was a hospital and kept her voice low.

“So you agreed to whatever terms I set, only to deceive me into leaving and then escape with my daughter?”
