Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1276: How come there are still rooms being allocated in 1275?

“Uncle, carry me.”

Tongtong smiled happily.

Mom doesn’t have much strength, and she’s not as tall as uncle, so Tongtong couldn’t see as far when held by her mom.

But for Qing Yang, it’s different. With his height of 1.8 meters, when he holds Tongtong and lifts her up lightly, she can see even farther than him, and the crowd in the zoo won’t block her view anymore.

Seeing Tongtong clinging to Qing Yang and refusing to let go, as if she feared being passed to her, Bai Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh and said: “Tongtong, you don’t have to be scared. Mommy won’t hold you.”

“Mommy.”

Tongtong sweetly called out, conveying a sense of reassurance.

Bai Yiyi gave her a playful look and said with a smile: “Qing Yang, you can take Tongtong ahead where there are fewer people. I’ll make a call to Ranran and ask how Momo is doing.”

“Okay.”

After Qing Yang walked away with Tongtong, Bai Yiyi sat down on a nearby chair, took out her phone, and called Wen Ran.

The phone rang a few times before Wen Ran’s voice came through, mixed with the typical hubbub of a hospital, “Hello, Yiyi.”

“Ranran, has Momo’s fever gone down?”

“It has. Just a viral cold, she got an injection, and we’re about to head home.” Momo just had a cold, and although Wen Ran’s worry had somewhat subsided, there was still a hint of distress for her daughter in her voice.

Perhaps only mothers can truly understand that heart-wrenching feeling, seeing their child sick and wishing they could be sick in their place.

“That’s good she’s no longer feverish. Ranran, don’t worry too much, it’s normal for children to catch a cold and get a fever,” Bai Yiyi said softly to comfort her.

“I know, Yiyi, where are you now?”

“At the zoo,” Bai Yiyi’s voice became more spirited.

“And Tongtong, isn’t she with you?”

Bai Yiyi turned her head and looked towards where Tongtong was being held up high by Qing Yang, joyfully watching the tiger in the tiger pen.

“Tongtong is being held by Qing Yang and doesn’t want me anymore.”

“You should go join Tongtong. I’m going to take Momo home now,” Wen Ran said, inadvertently glancing at Gu Kai by her side.

Seeing her look over, Gu Kai turned his gaze away nonchalantly and smiled gently at Momo, taking her from Mo Xiuchen’s arms.

“Brother, don’t you still have to go to the ward? You go on. Xiuchen and I will take Momo home,” Wen Ran said with a giggle.

Gu Kai gave her a glance and indifferently said, “It doesn’t matter. After such a delay, I don’t mind a few more minutes.”

“That doesn’t sound like something Doctor Gu who saves lives would say,” Wen Ran teased, then added: “Yiyi is at the zoo with Tongtong. She said Tongtong doesn’t want to be held by her, Qing Yang is holding her. If you have time, why not head to the zoo and see Tongtong?”

“With Bai Yiyi there, I won’t go,” Gu Kai’s voice carried a slight edge of coldness. Yesterday, Ah Jin said Bai Yiyi wanted to keep her distance from him and urged him to make a confession quickly.

He was a bit angry at the time. Maintain distance then maintain it, why should he confess to her? At most he’s gone from disliking her to not disliking her.

Last night, she told him in person to keep their distance.

He was annoyed.

Gu Kai is, after all, a promising young talent and an outstanding surgeon in G City, admired by many unmarried women.

Bai Yiyi, that woman who knows no gratitude, always acting as if she doesn’t want to see him… why should he demean himself and pursue her?

“Ah Kai is right, with Bai Yiyi there, Tongtong will be fine. Ranran, let’s go back. Ah Kai, are you escorting us out of the hospital?”

“I’ll take Momo.”

Gu Kai lowered his gaze and gave Momo a tender smile.

After getting her shot, Momo’s fever subsided and she wasn’t feeling as miserable. She stopped crying, but she was listless and didn’t want to talk.

As they took the elevator down, they ran into Wei Jingshan.

“Doctor Gu.”

Wei Jingshan was supporting a patient towards the elevator when she saw Gu Kai. A look of surprise flickered in her eyes, and she immediately greeted him with respectful politeness.

Gu Kai merely responded with an indifferent hum, holding Momo as he brushed past her.

“Ah Kai, how come Wei Jingshan is back again?” Mo Xiuchen narrowed his eyes and only asked when they reached the entrance.

“Is that Wei Jingshan?” Wen Ran turned her head to look, but the woman had already entered the elevator. Beside her, Mo Xiuchen affectionately turned her head back, “Ranran, she’s already in the elevator.”

“I wasn’t looking at her.” Wen Ran pouted, dissatisfied as she shook off his hand.

Gu Kai sighed, his tone helpless, “Dad said that Wei Jingshan is a student sponsored by Mayor Chen. Mayor Chen is very concerned about Wei Jingshan’s affairs and invited Dad for a meal last night, pleading for her.”

“No wonder. I thought so. Given your nature, having chased her off, how could you possibly let her return.”

“Yeah, after the press conference, she found Bai Yiyi. She was apologizing and kowtowing. If she has such a background, why bother humiliating herself like that?” Gu Kai’s tone carried a hint of scorn.

Wen Ran was shocked and looked at Gu Kai with astonishment, “Brother, are you saying that Wei Jingshan kowtowed to Yiyi to stay?”

“Mm, Bai Yiyi said so, and later I checked the surveillance footage, it was true.”

There was a cold indifference in Gu Kai’s expression, and with the disgust he felt for Wei Jingshan, it was impossible for him to harbor any good feelings towards her anymore.

“Don’t be angry anymore. Since someone pleaded on her behalf, Dad agreed to let her stay, there’s no use in being upset. She’s not following you now, is she?”

“Of course not, she’s with Qiu Wei.”

Gu Kai frowned, the idea of Wei Jingshan wanting to work with him was out of the question.

His father had given Mayor Chen face by allowing Wei Jingshan to stay at the hospital, but that didn’t mean he would tolerate her constantly flitting in and out of his sight.

Now that Wei Jingshan was with Qiu Wei, he wouldn’t have to see her often, and whenever he did, he would just treat her as invisible.

With a smile, Wen Ran said, “Then stop being mad. That incident is over. If Wei Jingshan repents, that’s good, but if she makes another mistake, Dad won’t tolerate it again.”

“Mm, I believe that.”

Gu Kai raised an eyebrow, and his lips curled into a smile once more.

Meanwhile, in A City

In the living room, Qin Mu was being interrogated by Mother Qin, “Ah Mu, did you and An Lin sleep in separate rooms last night?”

“Mom!”

Qin Mu frowned, calling out in displeasure. He glanced towards the staircase before saying, “Mom, this is between An Lin and me. Please don’t meddle.”

“How can I not meddle? You and An Lin are married, how can you sleep in separate rooms? Ah Mu, you’re not a child anymore. You can’t just ignore what your father said.”

Mother Qin maintained the stance of a concerned mother, her expression serious.

Qin Mu rolled his eyes and said stiffly, “Mom, don’t worry, since I’m married to An Lin, I will take responsibility for her for life.”

“Really? Then why did you still sleep in separate rooms last night?”

Mother Qin pretended to be skeptical as she continued to probe. In reality, how could she not believe in her own son, who is a responsible person. Instead, she was eager to have a chubby grandson sooner rather than later, thus she preferred not to let Ah Mu and An Lin continue sleeping apart.
