Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1109: 1108 I am your child’s mom.

Gu Kai looked at her as if she were an idiot, flopped into a chair, and pulled out a cigarette to light it.

“You can’t smoke here.”

Without a second thought, Bai Yiyi snatched the cigarette that Gu Kai was holding between his fingers, gently snapped it into two pieces.

“Bai Yiyi.”

Gu Kai’s voice lowered, filled with deep anger, his inky eyes shot a fierce light, “Who do you think you are to control whether I smoke or not?”

“I am the mother of your child, you tell me if I have a say or not.”

Bai Yiyi only realized what she had said after the words left her mouth. Seeing that Gu Kai was also stunned by her words, staring at her with a strange look, her face suddenly burnt up.

“What I mean is, if you want to smoke, don’t do it in front of me, passing the smoke to me. When I go home, if Tongtong smells it, it’s not good for her body.”

“You think the smell of smoke lingers forever? That Tongtong can still smell it when you get home? Bai Yiyi, why don’t you become a scriptwriter?”

Gu Kai mocked her without any courtesy.

The slight embarrassment Bai Yiyi felt dissolved in Gu Kai’s mocking words. Her face changed, and she irrationally said, “Anyway, you are not allowed to smoke in front of me. Go somewhere else if you want to smoke.”

“Irrational.”

Gu Kai cursed in anger.

Bai Yiyi raised her eyebrows proudly, taking it as a compliment, “Yes, I am irrational. You haven’t answered me yet. Why did Mo Xiuchen leave?”

“He went to save Momo. Ranran wants to divorce him, he has to bring Momo back, or what, wait to lose both his daughter and wife?”

Bai Yiyi’s lips twitched, she pursed her lips and said, “I called Elder Brother Li yesterday, he was away on business.”

She suddenly changed the topic. Gu Kai’s thoughts couldn’t keep up for a moment. A hint of confusion flashed across his handsome face, and then he said gloomily, “I see.”

After someone called to suggest that Ranran should leave Mo Xiuchen, both Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen suspected that Cheng Jia was the prime suspect; they ruled out Li En.

If he took Momo, he would threaten Gu Kai, not make Ranran leave Mo Xiuchen.

From his tone, Bai Yiyi deduced that he no longer suspected Li En. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned the topic back to before, “You said Mo Xiuchen went to save Momo, does that mean he isn’t at the hospital with Ranran?”

“You get along with Ranran, don’t you? You come to the hospital these next few days and keep Ranran company. For Ah Jin’s place, I’ll help you take a leave.” Gu Kai’s tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable dominance.

“Me?”

Bai Yiyi looked at Gu Kai in surprise, her right index finger pointing to her nose.

Gu Kai nodded, “You’re a mother too. You can empathize when chatting. But don’t encourage Ranran to divorce Mo Xiuchen or such. I am asking you to keep her company to persuade her to abandon that idea.”

“You don’t trust me, yet you ask for my help.”

Bai Yiyi retorted unhappily, because she was a mother too, she could understand Ranran’s feelings. If it were her, she would have done the same without hesitation.

Because in her heart, nothing was more important than Tongtong.

Gu Kai’s face darkened, but he eventually held back, “Go to the ward and keep Ranran company for now. I just scolded her, and she must be feeling very wronged. If she asks about Mo Xiuchen, just tell her that Mo Xiuchen has left the hospital.”

“Okay.”

Although Bai Yiyi disapproved of Gu Kai, she genuinely cared for Wen Ran.

For Wen Ran’s sake, she decided not to argue with the annoying Gu Kai and follow his arrangements, heading back to the ward to accompany Wen Ran.

Gu Kai did not return to his own office, but went to his father’s office instead.

Gu Yan was on a phone call. Gu Kai silently walked over to the sofa, sat down, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked quietly.

Gu Yan finished his phone call and walked over to sit down on the sofa next to Gu Kai, “What did Mo Xiuchen say when you went to the ward just now?”

“Mo Xiuchen went to find Lu Zhiyan…”

Gu Kai exhaled a ring of smoke and told Gu Yan everything that had happened.

“So, you mean Ranran wants to agree to the other party’s terms and divorce Mo Xiuchen. But Mo Xiuchen doesn’t want to get a divorce, insists on answering the phone himself, and negotiating with the other party to rescue Momo?”

Gu Kai nodded, his voice indifferent, “Yes, Dad, arrange for someone else to handle the surgeries these next few days. I’ll take care of Ranran and Ziyi.”

The key issue was that his current state was not suitable for the operating table.

“Has Xiaofang contacted you?”

Hearing Gu Yan’s words, Gu Kai’s eyes flickered; Mo Xiuchen had just asked this question, and now his father was asking again.

“No.”

“After all, she is a girl. While Momo’s disappearance is partly her responsibility, it’s our greater responsibility.”

Gu Yan’s voice was thick with guilt and self-reproach. Ranran had been stolen away by Fu Jingyi when she was a child, and now, Ranran’s daughter had been stolen from their hospital.

This was simply a provocation.

Gu Kai maintained a stern face, silent.

“Ah Kai, find some time to call Xiaofang. Just now, I received a call from Professor Fang saying that Xiaofang didn’t come home last night.”

“Mm.”

Gu Kai remained silent for a long moment before responding gruffly.

“I’m going to see Ranran.”

Gu Yan stood up and left the office. Gu Kai sat alone in the director’s office, hesitating for a long time before he finally dialed Fang Zhiwei’s number.

When Gu Yan arrived at the ward, Bai Yiyi was changing Ziyi’s diaper.

Seeing him, Bai Yiyi paused for two seconds, her expression somewhat awkward.

She had come to Kangning Hospital many times but had never met Gu Yan face to face. Previously, it was because of her father’s connections, and now, there was also Tongtong.

Thinking of Tongtong, a polite smile returned to Bai Yiyi’s face as she greeted, “Director Gu.”

Gu Yan, having been informed by Gu Kai about her presence, wasn’t surprised.

His profound gaze lingered on Bai Yiyi for a moment before he nodded and said gently, “Thank you for coming to accompany Ranran and for helping take care of Ziyi.”

“I am friends with Ranran; it’s only right,” she replied.

Gu Yan hummed a soft acknowledgment, his impression of Bai Yiyi quite favorable.

Although he knew that her daughter was his granddaughter, there was a presumption on his part.

Now, seeing her talking politely and smiling gently, he felt that she was indeed not bad.

“Ranran, you slept a little in the morning, how come you still look so unwell?” Gu Yan approached the hospital bed, his brows lightly furrowed as he examined Wen Ran, his eyes showing a touch of heartache.

“Dad, I’m fine.”

Wen Ran didn’t want her father to worry, but her words lacked conviction. She didn’t look fine at all.

“Let me hold Ziyi.”

After Bai Yiyi had finished dressing Ziyi, Gu Yan reached out to take him. Bai Yiyi responded with “okay,” handed Ziyi to him, and said, “I’ll step out for a bit,” leaving the father and daughter to talk alone.

“Ranran, Dad can understand how you feel right now, but you need to be strong, at least take good care of yourself and not harm yourself.”
