Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2032: Chapter 2031: Affection Grows Over Time

Gu Kai lifted an eyebrow as he looked at Wen Jin, “Didn’t you just come back from your business trip today?”

“…”

Wen Jin nodded, he just got back from the business trip today, but what does that have to do with anything.

Gu Kai’s mouth curled into a meaningful smile, “Ah Jin, you’ve been away on a business trip for ten days, and the moment you return you bring Xiaocha to the hospital. Aren’t you worried Yi Han will get jealous?”

“You’re overthinking it.”

Wen Jin was speechless at Gu Kai’s imagination. Jing Xiaocha hurt her arm, so he brought her to the hospital for treatment. If Ou Yihan got jealous over this…

“How could I be overthinking it?”

Gu Kai pointed at his own nose with his finger.

“Let me tell you, I know women better than you do. Ou Yihan really likes you. If you’re too nice to Xiao Cha, though she’s not really your sister, how could Yi Han not get jealous?”

“Yi Han and I are just friends, nothing has developed between us. Besides, if I had any feelings for Jing Xiaocha, would I have waited until now?”

Gu Kai was dismissive, “There’s a saying that feelings grow over time. Even if there’s no love at first sight, it can become something much more… terrifying.”

He thought for a few seconds before ending with “terrifying.”

Wen Jin shook his head, too lazy to continue dealing with him.

Upon entering the office, while Gu Kai got water, Wen Jin dialed Mo Xiuchen’s number.

Gu Kai placed the water on the coffee table in front of him, tilted his head to glance at his phone screen, “Why are you calling Mo Xiuchen? Don’t tell me you’re asking him to come to the hospital too.”

Wen Jin gave him a ‘you’ll know soon’ look.

The phone rang a few times before Mo Xiuchen’s deep, lazy voice came through, “Hello, Ah Jin.”

“I have something to tell you.”

Wen Jin took a sip from his cup, speaking calmly.

“What’s up, don’t tell me you and Ou Yihan are getting married.”

Mo Xiuchen teased from the other end of the line.

Wen Jin frowned, puzzled since when these guys around him started gossiping like women.

“Zhang Minghui wants to start school this semester, but because of household registration issues and other reasons, many schools wouldn’t accept him. Can you arrange for him to be in the same school with Ziyi?”

“Which grade is he in?”

Mo Xiuchen didn’t refuse but asked lightly.

Wen Jin pondered for a moment, “Put him in second grade, he’s been learning the first-grade curriculum these past few months.”

“Okay.”

“I heard Zhang Minghui has improved?”

After Wen Jin hung up, Gu Kai asked with a grin.

“Yeah, that’s thanks to Ziyi’s influence.”

Gu Kai knowingly smiled. Although busy every day, he had seen Zhang Minghui following behind Ziyi, an eight-year-old tagging after a four-year-old, playing the little sidekick.

The scene was comical.

“So you’re letting him be in the same school with Ziyi, hoping Zhang Minghui will be Ziyi’s lifelong sidekick?”

Wen Jin lowered his eyes, playing with the cup in front of him, “Zhang Minghui has already been led astray, so much that he developed a reckless streak. When he hurt himself last time to avoid doing homework, I thought about letting him stay close to Ziyi.”

Gu Kai understood Wen Jin’s well-intentioned plan, “If he learns well, it’ll benefit him. If he has ulterior motives, it would still teach Ziyi a life lesson. Ah Jin, that’s a good idea. Zhang Minghui should be able to become Ziyi’s right-hand man.”

That kid is smart, he was just misguided before.

Proximity influences, and with time, I believe Zhang Minghui will learn well.

Jing Xiaocha’s wound was a bit inflamed. After the doctor treated and re-bandaged it, he prescribed her a two-day course of anti-inflammatory medication.

After bandaging, Ou Yihan asked with concern, “Xiaocha, how did you get hurt?”

“Accidentally pricked myself.”

“How could you accidentally prick yourself?”

Ou Yihan examined Jing Xiaocha, “Was someone bullying you, or did you encounter bad people? Even if Wen Jin is on a business trip, you could still tell me.”

Jing Xiaocha’s eyes flickered slightly, “Sister Ou, please don’t misunderstand. I didn’t tell Brother Wen.”

Ou Yihan smiled gently, “Misunderstand what? Wen Jin always treats you like a sister, I know that. But because of that, you got hurt while he’s away and I had no idea.”

By the end, Ou Yihan’s voice carried a hint of self-blame.

Jing Xiaocha hurried to explain, “It’s just a minor injury, I really didn’t think much of it myself. It’s just that with so much happening these few days, it got a little inflamed.”

“Xiaocha, since Wen Jin treats you like a sister, I will too. In the future, if something happens, don’t hide it from us. If someone bullies you, I can help you get revenge.”

Ou Yihan thought Jing Xiaocha must have told Wen Jin about her injury.

If she hadn’t mentioned it, how would Wen Jin know.

She considered herself nice to Jing Xiaocha, yet Jing Xiaocha seemed distant to her.

Even calling her Sister Ou, Jing Xiaocha wasn’t as close to her as she was to Wen Ran.

“Thank you, Sister Ou, I’ll remember that next time.”

Jing Xiaocha didn’t want to explain any further, as sometimes the more you explain the more it seems like you’re hiding something. With a woman’s instinct, she sensed Ou Yihan might have misunderstood.

“No need to thank me. Now that your wound is bandaged, Wen Jin won’t worry, and that puts me at ease.”

The two of them arrived at the lobby, and Ou Yihan asked Jing Xiaocha, “I’m going upstairs to find Wen Jin. Do you want to rest here or come with me?”

Jing Xiaocha smiled, “I’ll rest here. You go find Brother Wen.”

“Alright, wait here for a few minutes. I’ll get Wen Jin, and then we can grab something to eat.”

Ou Yihan took the elevator upstairs to find Wen Jin, but Jing Xiaocha didn’t wait in the lobby. Instead, she left the hospital and took a taxi home.

Ou Yihan didn’t explicitly say anything, but Jing Xiaocha was smart enough to understand the implication and hint.

She didn’t want a lightbulb to disrupt her and Wen Jin’s date.

Sitting in the taxi, Jing Xiaocha took out her phone to draft a message, but hesitated before sending it.

After staring at it for a few seconds, she deleted the message and put her phone back in her pocket.

In the office, Wen Jin noticed Ou Yihan coming in alone, and a hint of worry flashed through his dark eyes. He stood up and asked, “Yi Han, why did you come up alone? Is Xiaocha’s injury serious?”

Seeing the worry in Wen Jin’s eyes, Ou Yihan’s heart felt a slight pang.

Seeing Wen Jin’s question, Gu Kai also stood up, looking inquisitively at Ou Yihan.

Ou Yihan smiled lightly, speaking with a breezy tone, “Don’t worry, Xiaocha’s wound is just a bit inflamed, it’s been treated. I saw she was a bit tired, so I let her wait downstairs, and I came up to find you.”
