Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1441: 1440 Do not want to hurt anyone

On the way back, Bai Yiyi received a call from Gu Kai.

“Yiyi, have you returned from the nursing home?”

On the phone, Gu Kai’s voice came through the radio waves, gently.

Bai Yiyi’s grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, but her words were gentle and calm, “Xiaocha and I are on our way back.”

“You didn’t run into Fang Zhiwei, did you?”

Gu Kai asked with concern.

Afraid of running into Fang Zhiwei and making things difficult for Bai Yiyi.

“No, didn’t she call you?” Bai Yiyi thought for a moment before asking.

“I didn’t receive her call, but Lu Zhiyan called me, saying he accompanied Fang Zhiwei to the nursing home to pick up her grandmother.”

So, he called to ask Bai Yiyi if she had run into Fang Zhiwei.

“Focus on driving, we’ll talk when I get home in the afternoon.” Gu Kai didn’t want to distract her from driving, so he didn’t say more and ended the call.

Bai Yiyi dropped Jing Xiaocha off at her rental apartment and drove home. Just as she reached her front door, another call came in.

This time, it was Fang Zhiwei.

“Let’s set a time; I have something to say to you.”

Fang Zhiwei’s voice, while lacking the anger and resentment from the nursing home entrance, still bore a hidden hostility.

Bai Yiyi’s eyes flickered, and she said lightly, “Sister Wei, I’m free these two days. You let me know when you have time.”

“If you’re not afraid, come to my place. I’ll pick up my grandmother before noon, and we can meet at 3:30 in the afternoon.”

Fang Zhiwei’s mention of fear carried a hint of mockery.

Bai Yiyi instinctively frowned, “Sister Wei, I’ll be on time.”

Bai Yiyi returned home. Her mother, Bai Yuqin, was cooking lunch, and in the living room, Tongtong was drawing.

Seeing her return, Tongtong dropped his paintbrush, ran forward to hug Bai Yiyi, and exclaimed happily, “Mommy, Mommy.”

Bai Yiyi’s eyes softened with a gentle smile. She lowered her head, letting Tongtong kiss her on the cheek before leading him back to the sofa.

“Yiyi, you’re back. Lunch will be ready soon.”

Bai Yuqin poked her head out of the kitchen to tell Bai Yiyi, then returned to continue cooking.

Bai Yiyi glanced toward the kitchen, spent a few minutes with Tongtong, then got up and walked into the kitchen.

“Yiyi, give Ah Kai a call to see if he’s free for lunch. If he is, tell him to come home; I’ve made a few dishes. They’re all foods you and Ah Kai like.”

Without turning, Bai Yuqin instructed Bai Yiyi as she listened to the footsteps.

Bai Yiyi stood beside her, looking at Bai Yuqin with calm eyes, remaining silent.

After a few seconds without a response, Bai Yuqin turned her head in surprise to look at Bai Yiyi, “Yiyi, what’s wrong?”

“Mom, have you met with Fang Zhiwei?”

Bai Yiyi’s voice was very calm, and there was a repressed emotion in her eyes as she looked at Bai Yuqin.

Bai Yuqin’s gaze flickered, seeing that she already knew, so she didn’t deny it, “Did Fang Zhiwei tell you? Yes, I’ve seen Fang Zhiwei. Yiyi, I did it for you and Ah Kai. I can’t just stand by and watch Fang Zhiwei entangle with Ah Kai.”

Bai Yiyi frowned, her voice tinged with displeasure, “Mom, didn’t I ask you not to interfere in this matter? Fang Zhiwei already resents Ah Kai and me. Now you’ve gone to see her and said harsh words, it will only deepen her resentment towards us.”

“Yiyi, you’re too naive.” Bai Yuqin disagreed, furrowing her brows, and said earnestly, “Even if I hadn’t seen Fang Zhiwei or said anything, her resentment towards you wouldn’t lessen. On the contrary, she would keep entangling Ah Kai relentlessly.”

Bai Yuqin snorted coldly, also angry at Fang Zhiwei’s attitude today, “Yiyi, you and Ah Kai must get married as soon as possible. Don’t let Fang Zhiwei force you into compromising. Since she already resents you, whatever you do won’t change it, so why waste your and Ah Kai’s time on an irrelevant woman?”

“Mom, how do you know Sister Wei won’t change? She has depression now, and your words to her might worsen her condition.” Bai Yiyi suppressed her emotions, knowing her mother meant well, but she didn’t want to hurt anyone.

Especially someone she genuinely wanted to help.

Previously, there were posts accusing her of being the third party, ruining Fang Zhiwei and Gu Kai’s relationship, although those rumors were suppressed.

But if something really happened to Fang Zhiwei, and she stayed with Gu Kai, those rumors would inevitably resurface.

“Whether her condition worsens is her own matter, Yiyi, you need to know Fang Zhiwei isn’t just any woman; she’s Ah Kai’s ex-girlfriend, and she still wants to go back to Ah Kai. It’s possible that she fabricated her depression to deceive you.”

Bai Yuqin was eager for Bai Yiyi to be with Gu Kai, not allowing any woman to destroy Yiyi’s happiness.

As a mother, perhaps her actions were understandable.

Bai Yiyi’s expression changed, her repressed emotions already showing on her face. She tightly pressed her lips together, “Mom, how can you say that? I saw Fang Zhiwei distractedly crossing the road last time, nearly getting hit by a car. On New Year’s Eve, she didn’t fake jumping off a building.”

“If she’s agitated and her condition worsens, doing harm to herself, what would the public say about Ah Kai, and I would again be labeled the third party.”

“Yiyi, it can’t be that serious, can it? I think Fang Zhiwei seems quite normal.”

Bai Yuqin was also made nervous by Bai Yiyi’s words.

Bai Yiyi sighed and softly said, “Mom, please don’t interfere in this matter. I hope my relationship with Ah Kai doesn’t hurt anyone. After all, Sister Wei and Ah Kai once dated, and if it weren’t for Tongtong’s parentage being exposed, who knows if Ah Kai would have married her.”

“Alright, I won’t get involved, as long as you don’t give Ah Kai up to Fang Zhiwei, I won’t interfere in how you handle it.”

Bai Yuqin glared at her, not in the best of moods.

Bai Yiyi found it amusing and exasperating, “Mom, Ah Kai isn’t a possession I can give to anyone. If he and Fang Zhiwei were meant to be, they’d be married by now, and Fang Zhiwei wouldn’t be the only one heartbroken.”

“But doesn’t she have some form of depression now? If she uses that to threaten Ah Kai, wouldn’t Ah Kai have to agree to any of her conditions?”

Bai Yuqin’s tone was stiff, feeling her kindness was being misunderstood.

“He won’t. If that were the case, she would’ve threatened Ah Kai when she tried to jump off the building on New Year’s Eve. In fact, these past days, it’s been Lu Zhiyan and a girl named Jing Xiaocha accompanying Fang Zhiwei, not Ah Kai.”

Bai Yiyi patiently explained, only hoping her mother would let it go and not complicate things further.

“Just call Ah Kai; I won’t concern myself with Fang Zhiwei’s matters. I just want you and Ah Kai to be happy together.” Bai Yuqin waved her hand, signaling the end of the topic.
