Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1293: 1292 Bai Yiyi, stop being childish

As the season approached late autumn, at six in the morning, dawn was just beginning to break.

Wen Jin was woken up by the ringing of his cellphone, having gone to bed just after two in the morning, he was shocked awake by the piercing ringtone after less than four hours of sleep.

Grabbing his phone and seeing the caller ID, he immediately sat up, pressed the answer button, and said, “Hello.”

“President Wen, just now, a patient has become brain dead…”

Wen Jin’s handsome face turned pale as he quickly threw off the covers and got out of bed, “I’ll be right there.”

Dashing into the wardrobe, he grabbed some clothes to wear, and while putting them on, Wen Jin dialed Mo Xiuchen’s number.

Meanwhile, at Kangning Hospital.

The quiet of the laboratory was shattered by a sharp ringtone.

Bai Yiyi, who had dozed off in her chair, was startled awake, while Gu Kai continued focusing on his experiment, mouth covered by a mask, hands holding equipment. Seeing Bai Yiyi opening her eyes, he casually ordered: “Answer the phone for me.”

Bai Yiyi uttered an “Okay,” walked over to pick up his phone, and upon seeing who was calling, a flicker of hesitation crossed her eyes. She said to Gu Kai, “It’s a call from Director Gu, you should take it yourself.”

As she spoke, Bai Yiyi stepped forward to Gu Kai’s side, pressed the answer button, and handed the phone to his ear.

Gu Kai glanced at her and called out, “Dad.”

Bai Yiyi didn’t know why Gu Yan was calling Gu Kai, nor did she want Gu Yan to know that she had spent the night here with him.

Such a ridiculous affair, she herself found it strange.

Even if Gu Kai was doing it for Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory, what did it mean for her to be here with him?

With these thoughts, she turned her face away to look elsewhere. However, Gu Kai’s reaction made her turn her head back around, staring at him in shock.

Gu Kai put down the instrument in his hand and snatched the phone, the serious tone of his voice piercing into Bai Yiyi’s ear, morphing into an invisible hand that suddenly grasped her heart.

Her face turned abruptly pale.

Her eyes fixed firmly on the phone in Gu Kai’s hand; he spoke two sentences and then hung up.

Turning his head to see her pale face, Gu Kai’s brow furrowed slightly as he said calmly, “A patient has died; the situation is getting more complex. All the evidence so far is against Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory. The patient’s family was so agitated yesterday; today, things will be even worse.”

“How could this happen?”

Bai Yiyi asked in disbelief.

“Yesterday, not a single problem was found in so many drugs; how could it be determined that it was our medication that caused it?”

“Bai Yiyi, don’t be naive. This matter isn’t that simple. I need to go to the hospital now; you go home and take care of Tongtong.”

“I’m coming with you.”

Seeing Gu Kai take off his gloves and lab coat, Bai Yiyi’s expression changed as she turned and headed towards the door.

Exiting the elevator, Gu Kai spoke in a serious tone and with determination, “You haven’t been home all night; what if Tongtong wakes up and can’t find you? Go home first.”

Bai Yiyi frowned, “Are you worried that the deceased’s family might act out and harm me?”

“I don’t have the leisure to worry about that.”

After finishing his words, Gu Kai reached out his hand for her car keys, “I’ll drive.”

“I’m not going home.” Bai Yiyi pursed her lips stubbornly, refusing to hand over the keys.

Seeing her insistence on following, Gu Kai cursed, ‘ungrateful’, and grudgingly blurted out, “Fine, when we reach the hospital, don’t wander off, stay by my side.”

“The one you should be worried about is President Wen, those bereaved families must hate him to the bone by now, has President Wen arrived at the hospital yet?”

Bai Yiyi handed over the car keys to Gu Kai and after getting in the car, she asked with concern.

Gu Kai fastened the seat belt and immediately started the engine, answering, “Of course he got the notification; he wouldn’t be foolish enough not to bring bodyguards at a time like this.”

Bai Yiyi glanced at him and closed her mouth, saying nothing more.

As the car hit the road, heading in the direction of the People’s Hospital, Bai Yiyi made another call to the nanny, instructing her to take good care of Tongtong.

Early in the morning, the entire G City was shrouded in a layer of gloomy fog.

In the suburbs, Mo Xiuchen got out of bed and changed his clothes immediately after finishing the call with Wen Jin.

Since he had set his phone to vibrate last night, Wen Ran was unaware of the call from Wen Jin.

After freshening up, Mo Xiuchen came out and saw Wen Ran sitting on the bed watching him, paused then flashed a faint smile, and said gently, “Ranran, it’s still early, go back to sleep for a while.”

Wen Ran had just woken up as well; seeing him not around, she sat up.

Her eyes, still hazy with sleep, looked at him, “Mo Xiuchen, why are you up so early?”

Mo Xiuchen hesitated for a moment, walked to the bedside, bent over, and tenderly kissed her forehead, whispering softly, “Ranran, I just received a call from Ah Jin; I need to go to the hospital. If you can’t sleep, go check on the three little guys, and I’ll call you later.”

As soon as he said that, Wen Ran’s face, which was still oblivious a second before, instantly showed deep concern. She grabbed his arm with her hand, anxiously asking, “What happened?”

“Ranran, don’t get agitated, there was an incident, a patient died.”

“Then, wouldn’t my brother…”

“No, don’t think like that. I’m heading to the hospital to check things out now, and you take care of the three kids at home. Bai Yiyi will definitely be busy these days too, so Ranran, later go fetch Tongtong and take care of her together, you’ll be busy for a few days.”

Mo Xiuchen intentionally asked Wen Ran to help take care of Tongtong just to keep her at home.

He didn’t want her to go out, especially at this time, when those families were mourning. They wouldn’t care whether she had to work or not. As the sister of the manager of Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory, if Wen Ran appeared in front of them, they would probably tear her apart.

How could Wen Ran not understand Mo Xiuchen’s intentions? Her eyes saddened, and she tightly pursed her lips, “I know, you hurry to the hospital. Right now, I’m most worried about my brother. Mo Xiuchen, you must help clarify everything.”

Mo Xiuchen nodded, earnestly promising her, “Don’t worry, everything will be made clear. These days are a bit chaotic; you also are not allowed to wander around and make me worry.”

“I’ll stay at home, I won’t go anywhere.”

After speaking, Wen Ran urged him, “You rush to the hospital and call me later. No matter the situation, don’t hide anything from me.”

“Hmm.” Mo Xiuchen felt the vibration of his phone in his pocket. Without lingering any longer, he strode out of the master bedroom. While descending the stairs, he answered the phone, “Hello, Ah Mu.”

“Mo Xiuchen, did you also receive the call?”

Over the phone, Qin Mu’s voice came through.

Mo Xiuchen took the stairs two at a time, quickly moving towards the door, “Yep, I got the call. Where are you now?”

“I’m still at home; pick me up on your way. Oh, about the possibility you mentioned last night, it suddenly occurred to me there might be someone involved. I wonder if it’s possible.”

Qin Mu’s morose voice reached Mo Xiuchen’s ear, causing his steps to falter slightly.
