Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2073: Chapter 2072: Xiaocha Likes to Eat

“Did my brother and Yihan invite you for dinner?”

Wen Ran’s voice carried a hint of surprise, “Did Yihan come back too?”

She knew Wen Jin rushed back last evening, but didn’t know Ou Yihan also returned.

Speaking of which, Wen Jin came back in a hurry because Mo Xiuchen heartlessly refused Wen Jin and told him if he wanted to help Jing Xiaocha, he had to do it himself.

“Yeah, Sister Ou came back at noon, just visited my place, and even gave me an expensive scarf. She mentioned when she left that she might be looking for you.”

“My brother isn’t an outsider, why don’t you let Little Hui go along? I think Little Hui really likes my brother.”

Wen Ran didn’t mind Zhang Minghui going to their house, she had observed Zhang Minghui’s changes in recent days.

She knew that kid had turned over a new leaf.

Jing Xiaocha said awkwardly, “Last time, Little Hui was just spouting nonsense in front of Sister Ou; I’m afraid he might say something to upset her again, so it’s better not to bring him.”

If Little Hui said something else in front of Ou Yihan, no matter how she explained, it wouldn’t clear things up.

“Alright, I’ll tell Qing Feng to pick up Ziyi and Little Hui together later. After all, he and Ziyi are always getting along well; let him come to our place first. Whenever you finish dinner, give a call, and Qing Feng will pick you up as well.”

Wen Ran considered it very thoughtfully.

She knew Xiaocha’s feelings for her brother Wen Jin, and she knew Xiaocha’s character as well.

In such cases, Xiaocha might not want to play third wheel, but because of Wen Jin, sometimes she just had to.

“No need, I’ll just take a taxi to pick up Little Hui.”

“Taking a taxi isn’t good; if only you had your own car, it would be different.”

Wen Ran joked.

However, Jing Xiaocha genuinely started considering buying a car.

Wen Jin had previously asked her if she ever thought about getting her own car. It would be more convenient.

**

Jing Xiaocha left home early, so Wen Jin and Ou Yihan wouldn’t have to pick her up from home.

She called to ask about the restaurant Ou Yihan had reserved, then went shopping in a nearby mall.

After skimming through some books and just as she was about to leave, she heard a delighted voice behind her, “Xiaocha, is that really you?”

Jing Xiaocha turned around in surprise, only to see that the person standing behind her was Li Shi Yao.

With a hint of surprise in her eyes, she looked at the work uniform Li Shi Yao was wearing, “Shi Yao, are you working here?”

Li Shi Yao replied with an awkward smile.

She glanced down at her work uniform and quickly regained her composure, “Yeah, I started working because I didn’t finish college. I’ve been here for more than a year now.”

“Why…”

Jing Xiaocha didn’t know about Li Shi Yao dropping out.

Before going abroad, she wasn’t as close to Li Shi Yao as she was to Fan Lu.

Li Shi Yao softly explained, “I never knew that my cousin was involved in illegal activities, or that my parents were involved too. After they encountered problems, I dropped out.”

“…”

Jing Xiaocha blinked in confusion. She only knew that Li Shi Yao’s cousin, Meng Ke, once dated Sister Bai.

As for other things, she was truly clueless.

All her attention was on Wen Jin; she was only knowledgeable about Wen Jin’s matters.

Seeing Jing Xiaocha’s confused look, Li Shi Yao gave a self-mocking smile, “Let’s not talk about me. Xiaocha, when did you come back to the country? I thought you wouldn’t come back after going abroad.”

Jing Xiaocha smiled and said, “Why wouldn’t I come back? No matter how good it is abroad, it doesn’t feel as good as being here at home.”

“I think you couldn’t part with your Brother Wen. Does he know you’re back?”

In the past, Li Shi Yao knew Jing Xiaocha had feelings for Wen Jin.

She was never good at keeping her feelings a secret.

Jing Xiaocha’s eyes flitted lightly, “What nonsense, Brother Wen already has a girlfriend. We’re just friends, more like siblings.”

“By the way, Fan Lu is an actress now, and I hear she’s quite popular. Have you seen her? The last time I saw her, I said hello, and she just gave me a cold look and walked away.”

“Yeah, I saw her; she’s doing really well now.”

Jing Xiaocha didn’t want to talk much about Fan Lu or make comments.

Even though she didn’t like Fan Lu, she had no interest in gossiping behind her back.

“Xiaocha, what are you doing now? Are you still working at Wen’s Pharmaceutical Factory?”

“No.”

Li Shi Yao wanted to keep chatting, but she had customers in her section. She reluctantly said, “Xiaocha, can you give me your number? I’d like to meet up sometime. Since dropping out, I haven’t really kept in touch with any classmates.”

Towards the end, Li Shi Yao’s eyes showed a hint of unease, fearing Jing Xiaocha would refuse her.

Jing Xiaocha gave her her number. Seeing it was about time, she took the elevator downstairs.

Just as she left the mall, Ou Yihan’s call came in, asking where she was.

Jing Xiaocha arrived at the restaurant; Ou Yihan and Wen Jin were already in the reserved private room of this specialty restaurant.

There was no waiter in the room; Ou Yihan was pouring water. Seeing Jing Xiaocha, she smiled and motioned for her to sit down quickly.

“Xiaocha, it’s been a while since we had a meal together. You can order whatever you want tonight, don’t be shy with me and your Brother Wen.”

When the waiter brought the menu, Ou Yihan acted like a hostess welcoming Jing Xiaocha.

Then she turned to look at Wen Jin, “Wen Jin, doesn’t Xiaocha look especially nice with this scarf?”

The scarf around Jing Xiaocha’s neck was the one Ou Yihan gifted her that afternoon.

Wen Jin’s gaze swept over the scarf around Jing Xiaocha’s neck, and the corners of his mouth curved into a gentle smile, “Yeah, it looks nice.”

“Seems like I have good taste after all. I was worried since you came back earlier that the gift I chose wouldn’t suit Xiaocha’s taste.”

“Sister Ou has great taste; otherwise, how could you have chosen my Brother Wen?”

Jing Xiaocha joked.

Ou Yihan blushed slightly and shot her a playful glare, but her eyes and eyebrows overflowed with gentleness and shyness, “Xiaocha, are you teasing me?”

“I didn’t.”

Jing Xiaocha cheerfully denied it.

“There will come a day when you find a boyfriend and fall in love.”

Ou Yihan pretended to be puffing her cheeks in mock anger.

Listening to their banter, Wen Jin joined in warmly, “Xiaocha, where’s Little Hui? Didn’t you pick him up?”

“Little Hui is at Zi Yi’s place; I’ll pick him up later.”

Jing Xiaocha ordered one dish and then handed the menu to Ou Yihan, “Sister Ou, I’ve ordered. Your turn.”

“Just one dish? Are you saving money for your Brother Wen or me?”

Ou Yihan frowned at her.

“One dish is enough; it’d be wasteful if I can’t finish more.”

Ou Yihan just picked up the pen when Wen Jin’s gentle voice sounded, “Add on…”

“Is that something you like to eat?”

“Xiaocha likes to eat it.”

“…”

Ou Yihan looked up, and Jing Xiaocha quickly refused, “Sister Ou, don’t add it. I won’t be able to eat so much.”
