Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1189: 1188 Fortunately, Tongtong doesn’t take after you in looks

“Ranran, give me back the bottle. I won’t get drunk,” An Lin’s glass was snatched away; she paused, turned her head, and asked Wen Ran for it.

“An Lin, drinking will only make you feel worse, it won’t solve any problems.”

Wen Ran looked at An Lin with slightly furrowed brows, aware of the bitterness in her heart. She had liked Qin Mu for many years and finally mustered the courage to confess to him. But Qin Mu told her that he only saw her as a buddy, a sister.

He said it was impossible for them to develop into any other kind of relationship.

A flicker of pain crossed An Lin’s eyes, and she said bitterly, “Ranran, I just want to get drunk once.”

Qin Mu’s words that afternoon had left her heartbroken; she truly wanted to drown her sorrows in drink and forget all about him.

“That’s enough, An Lin. Do you think by hurting yourself like this, Ah Mu will take pity on you?”

Mo Xiuchen looked at her with a slightly grim expression, “Matters of the heart can’t be forced, don’t continue obsessing over this.”

“I’ll forget about him.”

An Lin said through gritted teeth, “Tomorrow, I’m going on a blind date. Just watch, I’ll get married before he does.”

Qin Mu was dating that Miss Gao, probably to make her give up. She certainly did not want a man who had no feelings for her. She was going to find a good man and get herself married off.

Bai Yiyi looked at An Lin’s pained expression and suddenly remembered what Fang Zhiwei had said when she sent her home yesterday, turning her gaze towards Gu Kai almost reflexively.

It was either a coincidence or Gu Kai had immediately sensed her looking at him, as he also turned his gaze towards her.

Bai Yiyi was slightly stunned and didn’t manage to avert her eyes quickly enough. Their gazes collided.

“You should eat more; you’re as skinny as a refugee from Africa.”

A flicker of light passed through Gu Kai’s eyes as he picked up a chicken wing and placed it into Bai Yiyi’s bowl.

Bai Yiyi’s heartbeat inexplicably skipped a beat, her eyes darting around as she awkwardly lowered her head and retorted stiffly, “You’re the one who looks like an African refugee.”

“Ah Kai, have you ever seen an African refugee as beautiful as Yiyi?”

Wen Jin couldn’t help but chuckle, and Wen Ran also looked over at them, making Bai Yiyi’s face heat up instantly.

Gu Kai snickered, turned his head, and scrutinized her with feigned seriousness.

“Stop looking at me.”

Bai Yiyi glared back at him hatefully.

The more she told him not to look, the more interested Gu Kai became. He casually propped his chin on his hand and leaned his face to the side, gazing at her intently with sparkling eyes. After a moment, he said in all seriousness, “Luckily, Tongtong didn’t take after you. Otherwise, she’d definitely be unwanted in the future.”

“Get lost!”

Bai Yiyi was so angry she wanted to throw her chopsticks, but their bickering made everyone at the table laugh, even An Lin, who was intent on drowning her sorrows, couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing with a snort.

Gu Kai clicked his tongue and commented, “You get angry because what I said was true.”

His words had barely fallen when his cell phone ringtone suddenly erupted with urgency. Bai Yiyi said coldly, “It must be the hospital calling you back for overtime.”

“Shut your crow’s mouth.”

Gu Kai glanced at her, pulled out his phone, and his brows creased slightly when he saw the caller ID, “Hello, Dad.”

“Ah Kai, you need to come back to the hospital immediately. We just received an emergency patient…”

After hanging up the call, Gu Kai shot Bai Yiyi another cold glare, finished his soup in one gulp, stood up, and announced, “You guys keep eating, I have to go back to the hospital.”

“Guess Yiyi was right?”

An Lin laughed mischievously, her earlier sorrow seeming to have evaporated. Bai Yiyi’s mouth twitched; she had really guessed right.

Gu Kai’s expression grew grim, and he instructed Mo Xiuchen, “Have someone send Tongtong back home later.”

“I know, you’d better hurry to the hospital.”

Mo Xiuchen was already used to Gu Kai abruptly leaving at any moment. He had abandoned Ranran a few times before; leaving Bai Yiyi and Tongtong now was not surprising.

***

Gu Kai rushed to Kangning Hospital and went straight to his father’s office.

Upon seeing Fang Zhiwei among the seated family members of patients, a flicker of surprise crossed Gu Kai’s eyes, but Fang Zhiwei immediately approached him, “Ah Kai, you’re back.”

“What’s your relationship with the patient?”

Gu Kai swept his gaze over Fang Zhiwei and looked at the middle-aged woman behind her.

“She’s my classmate’s mom, the person who’s sick is my classmate’s dad.”

After Fang Zhiwei finished explaining, she introduced Gu Kai to her classmate’s mother, “Auntie, this is Doctor Gu Kai.”

The woman immediately came forward, grasping Gu Kai’s hands excitedly, “Doctor Gu, you must save my husband, please.”

Gu Kai withdrew his hand calmly, “Auntie, don’t worry, let’s first understand the specifics of the situation.”

“Auntie, please sit down and tell Ah Kai about Uncle’s condition in detail…”

Fang Zhiwei helped her sit back on the sofa, and Gu Kai turned to Gu Yan with an inquisitive glance. Gu Yan briefed him on the patient’s symptoms and the series of tests conducted. Afterward, Gu Kai asked the patient’s family about the patient’s condition.

One hour later, Fang Zhiwei and Gu Kai walked out of the hospital together.

“Ah Kai, I’m sorry for making you come back to the hospital during your holiday because of Uncle Chen’s situation.”

Fang Zhiwei said apologetically.

Gu Kai smiled nonchalantly, “It’s my duty. What’s there to apologize for? Did you drive here?”

Fang Zhiwei smiled awkwardly, “No, I didn’t drive; I’ll take a taxi back.”

“You didn’t drive?” Gu Kai’s eyes twinkled, he raised an eyebrow and said, “Come on, I’ll take you.”

Fang Zhiwei shook her head, “No need, getting a taxi is very convenient. You must be tired, so you better go home and rest.”

“It’s not safe to take a taxi so late at night. It won’t take me long to drop you off; wait for me on the roadside.”

Gu Kai gave her a look and left the words before striding towards the parking lot.

Fang Zhiwei pursed her lips, watching his resolute figure, her mouth couldn’t help but curve into a smile. If Ah Kai was willing to take her home, maybe, he did have her in his heart.

Two minutes later, the Maybach stopped in front of Fang Zhiwei, the window rolled down, Gu Kai said to her standing on the roadside, “Get in.”

Fang Zhiwei nodded, opened the passenger door to sit in the car, buckled up the seatbelt, turned her head to Gu Kai, “Ah Kai, have you had dinner yet? If not, let’s grab something to eat, and I’ll treat you after you drop me home.”

As the Maybach hit the road, Gu Kai gently rebuffed, “No need, I had dinner before coming.”

“I haven’t eaten yet, though, Ah Kai. At this hour, we can already have a late-night snack. I know a good restaurant, it opened after you went abroad, and since you just returned, you definitely haven’t been there…”

Gu Kai’s brows slightly furrowed. Fang Zhiwei, afraid he would refuse, asked with a smile, “Gu Kai, you’ve said before, we’re still friends, right?”

“Of course.”

Gu Kai nodded.

The smile on Fang Zhiwei’s face became brighter by a notch, she cheerfully said, “Since we are friends, then having a meal with me shouldn’t be a problem, don’t worry, I won’t eat until midnight. You know, I don’t eat slowly.”
