Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1326: 1325 Don’t want to be laughed at

Mother Qin looked at her son and daughter-in-law and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. Given your dad’s and An Lin’s parents’ status, we won’t go overboard.”

“An Lin, if you have any thoughts or plans, you can talk to mom,” Mother Qin asked gently for her opinion.

An Lin shook her head, “Mom, I don’t mind. I’ll follow your lead.”

“Haha, An Lin is always so good.” Mother Qin laughed happily upon hearing this.

An Lin also smiled and then changed the subject, “Ah Mu, how’s the situation in G City?”

Qin Mu smiled and cheerfully said, “Things are going well. Mo Xiuchen put up ten million as a reward for providing leads, and it’s had an effect. By the time I left G City, someone had already turned themselves in and confessed.”

“Really?” An Lin widened her eyes in surprise, “It seems money still has its charm.”

“You could say that,” Qin Mu nodded. “However, the girl who initiated offering the clue didn’t want ten million; she just asked Ah Jin to lend her three hundred thousand …”

Seeing the confused looks on An Lin’s and Mother Qin’s faces, Qin Mu briefly repeated the story.

G City

Since that noon when Gu Kai told Bai Yiyi to take three days to think, he disappeared again for the next two days.

He hadn’t appeared in front of Bai Yiyi again.

Until Thursday afternoon at five twenty, Bai Yiyi finally received a call from Gu Kai, “I’m waiting for you at the factory gate.”

“I have to work overtime tonight.”

She frowned, her voice tinged with displeasure.

“I have another call coming in, I’ll hang up first,” Gu Kai said and then hung up the phone.

Minutes later, Gu Kai’s tall and straight figure appeared at the door of Bai Yiyi’s office, “Even if you have to work overtime, you should have dinner before you come back to the office. Let’s go!”

Bai Yiyi’s fingers trembled on the keyboard and she accidentally pressed delete…

She frowned annoyedly and cursed herself, it was just Gu Kai, what’s there to be flustered about.

An hour’s worth of work was gone just like that.

As Gu Kai strode into the office, the aroma previously lingering at Bai Yiyi’s nose was replaced by the unique scent of disinfectant on him. She didn’t look up; her gaze only caught sight of his long legs as he approached.

Gu Kai stood in front of her desk, looking down imperiously, lowering his head to look at the computer as Bai Yiyi steadfastly refused to look up. His arched eyebrows slightly furrowed, and in a low voice that resonated over her head, he said, “Bai Yiyi.”

Bai Yiyi rolled her eyes and finally raised her head to look at the man standing in front of her desk, “I really need to work overtime. If you have nothing else, go home and spend time with Tongtong. We can talk when I get home tonight, okay?”

Today marks three days.

Bai Yiyi wasn’t so foolish as to think that Gu Kai was here to ask her out for a meal.

Gu Kai’s eyes deepened, his dark pupils steadily locking onto her gaze, the corners of his lips slowly curved up, finally forming an almost imperceptible smile, “Can I take that as your agreement?”

He interpreted her remark about him going home to accompany Tongtong as a roundabout way of agreeing.

To agree to be his girlfriend, to date him.

Bai Yiyi pursed her lips lightly, lowering her gaze under Gu Kai’s intense and burning stare, her eyes settling on the second button of his shirt.

“Mmm.”

If you didn’t listen carefully, you wouldn’t hear her response.

Gu Kai heard it!

This time, a handsome and proud smile bloomed between his brows, instantly lighting up the slightly dim office.

With slightly parted lips, his voice carried an undisguised joy, “Okay, I’ll wait for you at home.”

Upon hearing these words, Bai Yiyi’s heart fluttered gently.

She looked up, meeting Gu Kai’s smiling eyes, “Is the injury on your hand better?”

“Soon.”

Gu Kai stretched out his hand, waved it in front of her, and then withdrew it back.

When Bai Yiyi saw his hand still wrapped in gauze, her brows furrowed, “Did you drive here by yourself?”

“Yes.” Gu Kai nodded, paused for a moment, and said softly, “I wouldn’t want anyone to know about such an uncertain matter and laugh at it.”

“…”

Bai Yiyi opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a single word.

Seeing her stunned look, Gu Kai asked again, “When will your overtime end?”

“Not sure, maybe around seven or eight. I’ll go to the cafeteria for dinner soon and then come back to continue working, trying to finish early.”

“Okay, Tongtong and I will wait for you at home,” Gu Kai said, then turned and strode away.

When Bai Yiyi finished her overtime, it was already 8:30.

Thinking of what Gu Kai said, ‘Tongtong and I will wait here for you,’ she couldn’t help but feel a warmth in her heart. Regardless of the outcome, she wanted to give it a try.

Maybe she could be as happy as Ranran and Mo Xiuchen.

She told herself that even for Tongtong’s sake, she shouldn’t be so timid and fearful, not to let the wounds of her own childhood leave regrets in Tongtong’s.

As she walked out of the office, Wen Jin also came out, “Yiyi, don’t drive, I’ll take you home.”

“No need, I’m not tired,” Bai Yiyi shrugged, her tone light.

Wen Jin smiled and was about to say something, then his phone rang.

It was a call from Lu Zhiyan. After the call, he and Bai Yiyi had reached the parking lot, “I need to go to the police station, seems like I can’t take you. Drive carefully by yourself.”

“I will, see you tomorrow, President Wen.”

Bai Yiyi bent down to get into the car, just fastened the seatbelt when Gu Kai’s call came through.

“Come out, Tongtong and I are waiting for you outside the factory gate.”

Bai Yiyi was slightly startled, turned her head, and looked through the car window towards the factory gate. The next second, a horn sounded in her ears.

“Mommy!”

As Bai Yiyi walked out of the factory gate, Gu Kai got out of the car holding Tongtong. He set Tongtong down, and she immediately ran into Bai Yiyi’s arms like a little bird.

“Mommy, Tongtong missed you.”

Tongtong’s small mouth was as sweet as honey. She tugged at Bai Yiyi, kissing her cheeks on both sides, then turned her head and called out to Gu Kai standing behind, “Daddy, kiss Mommy.”

“Tongtong, don’t talk nonsense.”

Bai Yiyi was startled.

Gu Kai laughed aloud, took a step forward, and reached out to hug Tongtong, “Tongtong, come to Daddy, let Mommy drive.”

“Kiss Mommy.” Tongtong looked at Gu Kai and Bai Yiyi with gleeful eyes, stubbornly wanting Daddy to do the same, kiss Mommy.

Bai Yiyi frowned, her eyes questioning as she looked at Gu Kai.

Gu Kai’s eyes twinkled, he hugged Tongtong and chuckled, “Tongtong, my dear, this is outside, people will laugh at us. Let’s wait till we get home, then we can kiss Mommy.”

“Okay, okay, Mommy, let’s go home.”

“What have you been teaching Tongtong?” Bai Yiyi glared at Gu Kai with flushed cheeks.

Gu Kai blinked innocently, “I didn’t teach Tongtong anything, ask her if you don’t believe me.”

“Tongtong says, Daddy kisses, Mommy,”

Tongtong proudly admitted it was her own idea. If she could kiss Mommy, why couldn’t Daddy? Last time she saw Momo, Xin Xin, and Ziyi’s daddy’s kiss their mommy’s after the three of them did.
