Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1292: 1291 Woman who adores you

Bai Yiyi, unable to break free from his grip, couldn’t help but get annoyed: “Gu Kai, if you want to eat, use your own chopsticks.”

“I’ve already thrown mine away, besides, I don’t mind sharing with you, so what’s there to be angry about?” Gu Kai contentedly fed himself a dumpling.

Bai Yiyi let go of her chopsticks as soon as he let go of her hand, and they fell to the ground.

“Go ahead and eat.”

She pushed the dumplings towards him.

Gu Kai raised his eyebrows, glanced at the chopsticks on the floor, and pinched a dumpling to feed her, “Returning the favor.”

“That’s not mine.” Bai Yiyi glared at him angrily.

Gu Kai’s eyes flickered slightly, and with a smirk, he asked, “Do you want me to give you the one from earlier?”

Bai Yiyi couldn’t be bothered with him, stood up, and walked away from the sofa. Seeing her not eating, Gu Kai threw the dumpling in his hand into his mouth and tossed the rest into the trash can before picking up his bag and following her.

Outside the office, Gu Kai said casually, “You look quite spirited; you probably can’t sleep even if you go home. Why not come to the lab and work overtime with me? You can be the first to know of any results.”

“If you want someone to keep you company for overtime, you can ask those at your hospital. I’m sure many female nurses and doctors would be willing to stay with you.”

Bai Yiyi didn’t fall for it.

She had already been duped by him once, there was no way she would be fooled a second time.

Gu Kai tossed the trash into the bin in the hallway and quickly caught up with Bai Yiyi, who was in front of the elevator, and asked, “Don’t you really want to know the results ASAP? Okay, actually, I need a helper. Those nurses at the hospital all admire me. If I make them pull an all-nighter with me, wouldn’t that be harming them?”

Bai Yiyi turned around and saw Gu Kai with his hands in his pockets, wearing an expression that screamed ‘It’s tough being this handsome,’ she couldn’t help it and burst out laughing.

“I’ve seen vain people, but never someone as vain as you. Even if a nurse who admires you works overtime with you, it’s not like it would harm her.”

“Of course it would. Think about it, if you were to accompany the person you like to work overtime, wouldn’t your heart bloom with joy, and your mind wander?”

After saying that, Gu Kai shook his head: “You wouldn’t understand. A person who doesn’t even dare to try wouldn’t have someone they like. Let’s go. Every minute we delay, things get more serious.”

Having said that, Gu Kai pulled Bai Yiyi into the elevator and raised his hand to press the floor button.

Bai Yiyi struggled to free the arm he was holding, “Stop pulling me, I won’t stay with you for overtime.”

“Bai Yiyi, how about this: if you stay with me for overtime tonight, I will never be mean to you again or mock you. I’ll take care of you as if you were a critically ill patient.”

“You’re the critically ill patient, stop jinxing me.” Bai Yiyi was infuriated by Gu Kai’s annoying smile.

Gu Kai’s cheerful laughter filled her ears, “Then how about I treat you the way I treat Tongtong? That should be okay, right?”

While they were talking, the elevator reached their floor.

Bai Yiyi hadn’t freed herself yet, and was pulled out of the elevator by Gu Kai and forcibly taken into the laboratory.

Her eyes fell on the laboratory equipment, and Bai Yiyi paused for a moment.

Even though she worked at Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory and often went into the lab, even having worked overtime there tonight, it felt different.

Gu Kai’s laboratory was not the same as the factory’s laboratory.

She subconsciously furrowed her brows, unable to articulate the feeling in her heart, especially when she caught sight of the small animal lying on the experiment table, it seemed as if images flashed before her eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Kai also sensed something off about Bai Yiyi, and his eyes flashed with a hint of puzzlement and a trace of concealed concern.

Bai Yiyi shook her head, her voice carrying a trace of distraction: “It’s nothing.”

Gu Kai’s gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds before releasing his hand, saying indifferently, “You sit and rest for a while. Although this is also a laboratory, my lab is different from your pharmaceutical factory’s.”

In Gu Kai’s eyes, Bai Yiyi’s inner conflict was Fu Jingyi. It was the source of her fear of marriage and men, and her dislike for the medical profession.

Although she did not speak of it, he could guess the gist, and thus, the odd behavior Bai Yiyi exhibited just now, in Gu Kai’s eyes, led him to speculate in secret that this was also due to Fu Jingyi.

Even though such a speculation is strange, he could find no other explanation.

“Mm.”

Bai Yiyi responded softly, her gaze sweeping around the lab before finally settling on the experiment bench.

Suburban villa.

The soft light of the room spilled over the main bedroom on the second floor, casting a gentle glow upon the two people embracing tenderly on the bed.

“Ranran, go to sleep, it’s already very late.” After a brief explanation, Mo Xiuchen gently stroked Wen Ran’s hair with a big hand, his voice filled with tenderness.

Just as he said, without him back, Wen Ran wouldn’t be able to sleep first.

When he had just come back, he saw her sitting on the sofa, staring blankly while some program was playing on the TV.

Upon seeing him return, she immediately hopped off the sofa and pulled him to ask about the results.

“Yeah, you should sleep too.”

Wen Ran intended to say she couldn’t sleep; with such a big issue occurring, the more she couldn’t help, the more anxious she felt.

But remembering that Mo Xiuchen had been busy all day and had worked overnight, with lots of things still to do tomorrow, she couldn’t keep him awake on her account.

“Mm.” Mo Xiuchen smiled gently, whispering, “I’ll go check on the three little treasures, you go to sleep first.”

“Don’t go, when you were showering just now, I checked on them, they are sleeping soundly.” Wen Ran pulled him, not letting him go, “You’ve been tired all day, get some rest now. If you’re really worried, I’ll go watch over them.”

“Ranran, let it be, there’s nothing to worry about. If they wake up, at worst they’ll cry a bit.” Mo Xiuchen lay down with Wen Ran, letting her head rest in the crook of his arm, his thin lips gently kissing her forehead, murmuring, “Go to sleep.”

“Mo Xiuchen, do you think, could it be someone deliberately framing the pharmaceutical factory by tampering with the drugs?”

Wen Ran’s hand on Mo Xiuchen’s chest, feeling his body warmth, she just couldn’t fall asleep.

Hearing this, Mo Xiuchen’s eyes flickered, he replied in a soft voice: “I’ve also considered this possibility, if the problem really lies with our medicine and not another cause, then there is this possibility. However, it’s still uncertain right now.”

Although the hospital had stated the issue was with Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory’s drugs.

But they were hoping to find another reason, rather than their drugs genuinely having an issue.

So far, in the returned medicines from the factory, no problem has been found, which makes Mo Xiuchen wonder if someone could be framing them.

Wen Ran pursed her lips, hesitantly speaking, “If it really is sabotage, could my brother possibly… ”

“No, don’t worry, we will definitely find out the reason.” Mo Xiuchen interrupted Wen Ran, knowing what she feared in her heart.

The condition of those three is currently very unstable, if it actually results in loss of life…
