Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1209: 1208 What are you thanking me for? Be more specific.

Wen Jin showed a hint of apologetic smile, “I haven’t had the chance to tell General Qian yet, we were just talking about you and Mo Xiuchen when you arrived. You shouldn’t always make me tell people that Yiyi is the mother of your child. Besides going to my factory to help during the day, I never let her work overtime.”

By the end of it, Wen Jin’s words turned into a complaint towards Gu Kai.

“So, Miss Bai is Young Master Gu’s wife, both Young Master Gu and Miss Bai truly are a talented man and a beautiful woman…”

Qian Songnan quickly piled on the praise with a smiling face.

As Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen had just taken their seats, the manager knocked and entered. Mo Xiuchen instructed him to serve a new table of dishes. After the manager left, Mo Xiuchen said to Qian Songnan and CEO Zhang: “Both General Qian and CEO Zhang, please make yourselves at home. As soon as Ah Jin told me that he was hosting important guests here at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, I immediately came over.”

Qian Songnan and CEO Zhang’s faces were all smiles. Although both Mo Xiuchen and Gu Kai had smiles on their lips, there was an inherent noble aura in their smiles, a feeling they had also sensed from Wen Jin earlier.

They were warmly hosting them, yet there was a natural aloofness that seemed to indicate an indifference to whether or not they partnered.

Thinking of what Bai Yiyi had said before they returned to the hotel after touring the workshop in the afternoon, Qian Songnan and CEO Zhang couldn’t help but look at each other.

“Ah Kai, since General Qian and Yiyi have known each other for a long time, why didn’t you bring Yiyi with you?” Mo Xiuchen turned his gaze and smiled at Gu Kai.

“She is at home taking care of Tongtong.” Gu Kai picked up a glass of water, elegantly took a sip, but did not put it down, instead casually fiddling with it in his hand.

Qian Songnan felt somewhat gloomy. Earlier, when Wen Jin mentioned that Gu Kai was coming, he thought about bringing up his illness at the dinner table, hoping it would be easier with Wen Jin’s introduction.

But now, hearing that Bai Yiyi is his wife, he couldn’t help feeling anxious.

“Young Master Gu, I watched your interview a few days ago…”

“Sorry, I need to take this call.” Just as Qian Songnan started to speak, Gu Kai’s phone inconveniently rang.

“Please, go ahead and take it.”

Qian Songnan quickly made a gesture inviting him to answer.

Gu Kai pulled out his phone, saw the caller ID, his lips curved into a tender smile, his long fingers pressed the answer button, and in front of everyone, he joyously said: “Hello, Yiyi.”

“Daddy.”

As soon as his voice fell, Tongtong’s childish voice came through.

“Tongtong, are you missing Daddy?”

Gu Kai’s smile deepened significantly upon hearing Tongtong’s voice, his expression brimming with the pride and happiness of a father.

On the other end, Bai Yiyi sat on the sofa, watching Tongtong speaking on the phone with a gentle smile.

When she heard Gu Kai’s previous “Yiyi,” although Tongtong was holding the phone, she was close enough to hear his voice very clearly.

“Missing Daddy.”

Tongtong cheerfully replied, her bright eyes gazing at Bai Yiyi, then exclaimed: “Mommy”

Bai Yiyi shook her head, pushed back the phone handed to her, but seeing Tongtong wanting to go bathe after seeing her grandma coming out of the room with her pajamas, she shook her head, “Tongtong bath time.”

Bai Yiyi had no choice but to take the phone, “Tongtong is going to take a bath now.”

“Alright, you go help Tongtong with her bath. Ah Jin, Mo Xiuchen, and I are at Yi Pin Xuan. We’ll be back late tonight.”

Seeing him hang up the phone, Wen Jin joked with a smile, “Is it because Tongtong won’t sleep without seeing you again?”

“Yep.”

Gu Kai laughed and nodded, putting his phone back into his pocket. The waiters streamed in and soon, the large round table was covered with a new spread of dishes.

After the waiters left, Gu Kai glanced at Wen Jin beside him and started to introduce the dishes to the clients, “CEO Zhang, General Qian, these are all Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion’s signature dishes. You must try them all…”

The next morning, Bai Yiyi got up and immediately received a call from Gu Kai.

“Songnan’s issue, I’ve settled it for you, Bai Yiyi, remember the condition you promised me.”

The pride in Gu Kai’s tone dissipated the remnants of Bai Yiyi’s sleepiness. She rubbed her eyes and asked, “What do you mean by settled? Did Songnan sign the contract?”

His response was a proud chuckle.

“Of course, not only did he sign the contract, Songnan also made concessions on the conditions you negotiated and agreed to sign a long-term contract with Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory, providing the necessary precious medicinal materials.”

“Providing medicinal materials too?”

Bai Yiyi, shocked, widened her eyes.

She knew Songnan had some abilities; her previous boss had used underhanded methods to collaborate with Songnan, but the contract was ruined because of her escape.

And because of that, she left that company.

“Yeah, didn’t you have that intention? I just helped negotiate it last night, and the other party was very straightforward in making a profit, of course they did.”

Gu Kai, as a doctor, was only interested in his surgical knives. Last night, he actually didn’t speak much.

With Mo Xiuchen, a powerful figure in the business arena there, the negotiation was carried by him and Wen Jin each making their statements, plus Songnan’s guilt over his unseemly intentions towards Bai Yiyi and his desire to have him operate on his son, maximized the benefits for Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory.

“Since that’s the case, then I should thank you.”

Bai Yiyi wasn’t unreasonable; Gu Kai helped her, and she would remember this favor,

“Bai Yiyi, what are you thanking me for? Be more specific.”

“Thank you for helping us close the deal,” Bai Yiyi answered with a laugh.

“Bai Yiyi, you should be thanking me for sorting out Songnan. He won’t dare to harbor any vile thoughts towards you anymore, not for helping you close a deal. Get your position straight; you are just Ah Jin’s secretary, not the lady boss of Wen’s.”

Gu Kai mocked her over the phone.

The pleasant mood that had lasted just a second was shattered by his words, Bai Yiyi, infuriated, retorted with a laugh: “Don’t say that, maybe one day I could actually become the lady boss of Wen’s, President Wen is so nice…”

“Bai Yiyi, stop dreaming, how could Ah Jin ever fancy you.”

“That’s my business, and it’s none of your concern.” Bai Yiyi said proudly, and then hung up the phone.

She thought that since Gu Kai had called early in the morning to show off, he wouldn’t come to her house in person.

Little did she know, after she had breakfast and was heading to work, just as she was about to walk to her car, she heard a horn sound behind her. Turning around, she saw it was Gu Kai’s Maybach driving into the compound.

“Get in, I’ll give you a ride to work.”

Gu Kai rolled down the window and called out to her.

Bai Yiyi pursed her lips, walked over, opened the passenger door, and got into the car, “Why are you being so kind, is there something else you need my help with?”

Gu Kai scoffed coldly, “Bai Yiyi, in your heart, am I a completely villainous bad guy, suspecting a plot just because I am giving you a ride to work?”
