Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1480: 1479 If mutual affection exists, the one who should be at a disadvantage is

After covering An Lin with the quilt, Qin Mu didn’t leave immediately.

Instead, he stood quietly in front of the big bed, gazing calmly at the sleeping An Lin, with a layer of guilt rising in his heart again.

His phone vibrated in his pants pocket.

He turned around, walked out of the bedroom, and went to the study next door to answer the call.

“Ah Mu, how did your talk with An Lin go?”

Mo Xiuchen’s voice came through the phone waves, sounding concerned. Qin Mu sat down behind the desk, calmly saying, “She had a bit to drink tonight and is already asleep.”

“She didn’t insist on the divorce again, did she?”

“Do you think she’s that easy to talk to?” Qin Mu smiled bitterly. The mistake was his.

He understood An Lin’s temper better than anyone. She wasn’t just proud; she was also stubborn, like an ox that wouldn’t budge. Otherwise, after their last intimate encounter, he wouldn’t have needed to pressure her with the involvement of both families.

But this time, it was different.

Thinking of this, he felt a headache coming on.

Long fingers massaged his temples lightly, listening to Mo Xiuchen giving advice over the phone, “If An Lin forgives you easily, she wouldn’t be An Lin. Ah Mu, the one thing you can use is her feelings for you…”

After finishing the call with Mo Xiuchen, Qin Mu hesitated momentarily and dialed a number.

After a few rings, the call was answered. Hearing a casual “Hello,” Qin Mu immediately smiled and cheerfully said, “Mom, it’s me, Ah Mu.”

“Ah Mu, your call came just at the right time. I was just talking to your dad, saying that Linlin hasn’t given us a call to let us know she’s okay after arriving in G City. I was about to call her.”

“Mom, you and Dad don’t have to worry. An Lin has arrived. She was exhausted from the flight and has already gone to sleep.”

Qin Mu’s explanation, in Mom An’s ears, implied something else.

An Lin isn’t the kind to get tired from just a flight. It seems like the couple’s brief separation has reignited a new honeymoon phase, tiring them out.

Mom An’s laughter came through, “Ah Mu, you should rest too. Although we’re looking forward to grandchildren, you both shouldn’t overexert yourselves.”

Qin Mu’s mouth twitched. His mother-in-law really had a vivid imagination.

“Mom, the reason I’m calling tonight is to discuss something with you.”

“Just say it.”

Mom An was straightforward; when her son-in-law had something on his mind, she naturally couldn’t refuse.

Before making the call, Qin Mu had already thought up his words, “It’s like this…”

In the suburban villa’s second-floor master bedroom.

After the passion, Bai Yiyi snuggled in the arms of the man beside her, her eyes still lingering with the aftermath of emotion. Under the warm light, they reflected a touch of mesmerized tenderness as she gently gazed at the man’s sculpted and handsome features.

“Are you tired?”

The voice beside her ear was deep and tender, carrying a sense of contentment.

Tonight, Yiyi was very enthusiastic, and Gu Kai felt it.

He was very happy that she was so passionate towards him.

Bai Yiyi furrowed her brows, tiredly complaining, “I didn’t realize it was this exhausting.”

“Haha, so next time don’t say I’m taking advantage of you, because I’m always the one doing the hard work.”

Bai Yiyi’s face heated up, she retorted, “Is it possible that if you act like a rogue outside, I also have to accept it? This kind of situation always puts the girl at a disadvantage.”

“These things depend on the circumstances. You can’t generalize.”

Gu Kai shook his head, looking like he was ready to argue to the end, “If it’s mutual, like us, the one putting in the effort is naturally the one who is at a disadvantage.”

“Sleep.”

Bai Yiyi slid her body onto the bed and lay down flat, not wanting to discuss such topics with him.

Gu Kai chuckled, lay down next to her, and pulled her into his arms again. Bai Yiyi naturally wrapped her arm around his waist in an intimate position, “Ah Kai, thank you.”

Her voice came up softly from his chest.

If one didn’t listen carefully, one couldn’t clearly hear what she said.

Luckily, Gu Kai had good hearing and understood why she was thanking him. Somewhere in his heart softened, and he gently stroked her silky hair with his big hand, “You’re my wife. Your mom is someone I should treat as my own mother. I once thought I could never get past this, but now I realize it’s not that difficult.”

Listening to his tender, low words, Bai Yiyi felt a soft pain in her heart. Looking up, her gentle eyes filled with tenderness and pity.

“The power of love is truly great.”

Gu Kai smiled, speaking lightly.

Bai Yiyi was so touched by him that her nose turned sour, and she instinctively held him tighter, “Ah Kai, I never believed in love or marriage before, but now I believe we can grow old together. I feel so happy.”

“Of course, many women want to marry me, but you succeeded. If you dare say you’re not happy, we won’t sleep tonight.”

Gu Kai immediately became proud again, deliberately emphasizing “happy” with a suggestive tone.

“Why?”

Bai Yiyi genuinely didn’t catch the change in his words’ tone.

However, as soon as she spoke, the man lying beside her suddenly turned over, pressing her underneath him. His hot breath brushed against the sensitive part of her ear as he hoarsely murmured, “I’ll use all night to prove I can make you happy.”

“Ah, you’re so annoying.”

Bai Yiyi squealed, playfully hitting him while Gu Kai laughed heartily. He flipped back onto the bed and held her tightly in his arms, “Sleep, goodnight.”

In the morning, when An Lin got up, Qin Mu had already left for work.

Of course, she didn’t wake up late, not even eight o’clock. However, as soon as she walked out of the bedroom, she saw the note pinned on the coffee table in front of the sofa in the living room.

“Breakfast is in the pot, I’ve gone to work.”

Looking at the black characters on the white note, full of vigorous pen strokes, much like the person himself.

Thinking of something, she pursed her lips. Did he think breakfast and avoiding the problem could solve everything?

She crumpled the note into a ball and tossed it into the trashcan. Touching her empty stomach, she went into the kitchen to see what he had made for breakfast.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, she smelled the scent of eggs.

Sure enough, it was her favorite fried eggs. Qin Mu’s cooking skills were something An Lin could never learn in her lifetime. During their time living together before the New Year, she had comfortably enjoyed his cooking.

But now, even her favorite breakfast didn’t taste the same to her anymore.

While eating breakfast, she couldn’t help but let her mind wander, thinking that Qin Mu merely made breakfast as a way to make up for his mistakes, not genuinely wanting to be good to her.

After finishing breakfast, she slouched on the sofa to rest, pondering what to do in the morning.

Going to the company to see Qin Mu was out of the question; this was their private matter, and no matter what, it couldn’t be taken to the company.

Lost in thought, the doorbell rang.

An Lin walked to the door, glanced at the surveillance video a couple of times, and then opened the door.

“Hello, are you Mrs. Qin? These are the flowers Mr. Qin ordered for you; please sign for them.”

An Lin frowned, took the yellow roses handed over by the staff, signed her name, closed the door, walked to the sofa, and tossed them onto the coffee table.
