Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

He remembered the time when Mo Zixuan had proposed to Mo Xiuchen that if he left the company, he, Luo Haofeng, and Ah Mu should stay in the company awhile longer while he finds their replacements.

Now, he was surprisingly anxious. Most likely, he found out that Mo Jingteng was trying to make Ah Mu the President.

He was afraid that if Ah Mu took the president’s seat, it would end up back in the hands of Mo Xiuchen. How could he not be eager to get them out of the company and take control while the old man was sick?

Mo Jingteng had pretended to be unconscious, but he was now being used by Mo Zixuan…

Looking at his smirk, Qin Mu responded in a calm and collected manner: “How they father and son scheme against each other is their business. Without Xiuchen, it’s meaningless for us to stay here. But there’s no need to leave G City in a hurry. It’s rare to have some downtime. We can stay in G City for a few more days before we go.”

“Sounds good!”

Luo Haofeng cracked a smile, his peach blossom eyes sparkling in the sunlight: “Shall we call Xiuchen and tell him, so he knows the situation here?”

There was a flicker of depth in Qin Mu’s eyes. He turned and opened the car door, then he looked back and nonchalantly said: “It’s deep into the night in D country. After a full day on the plane, they should rest first. We can call later.”

Surprise danced in Luo Haofeng’s eyes as he scrutinized Qin Mu. His tone was one of disbelief: “Ah Mu, when did you become so considerate? You’re even worried about disturbing Xiuchen’s rest. You know the situation between Wen Ran and him. In fact, there is no need to worry about disturbing them.”

At the end of the sentence, he smiled maliciously.

If it were before, calling him at this time could potentially disrupt a moment between Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran. But now, Wu Ran and he are a married couple only in name. There is no longer the chance of disturbing them.

The light in Qin Mu’s eyes flickered again, he didn’t respond to him and turned to get into the car.

Luo Haofeng chuckled, blocking the car door before he could close it. He looked at him with a carefree smile, “Where are we going now?”

“To Kangning Hospital!”

Qin Mu gave him a glare, his tone chilly.

Upon hearing this, Luo Haofeng immediately got into the car. Since they were now out of work, visiting Ah Kai in the hospital seemed like a good idea. They could enjoy a cup of tea in his office and watch him hustle and bustle in his day-to-day work.

Kangning Hospital

Shen Yuting sank into the leather chair, her gaze lowered, her exquisitely made-up cheeks bearing a hint of confusion. She was holding her phone in her delicate hand, her sidelong gaze staring at the screen, lost in thought.

Yesterday, what Cheng Jia said had echoed in her mind for a whole day and night. Last night, she was unsure about whether to call Jiang Liu or not. But in the end, she dismissed the idea.

Today, having nothing else to do, she thought of what Cheng Jia had said yesterday.

In fact, Cheng Jia did not explicitly mention the nature of her past relationship with Jiang Liu, only hinting between the lines that she knew Jiang Liu and that they were close.

Women, by nature, are always sensitive. Upon hearing Cheng Jia’s words, Shen Yuting began to feel extremely uneasy. It was one thing for Jiang Liu to have a past, but how his past entangled with Cheng Jia was a whole other matter.

Furthermore, she mentioned that she had seen Jiang Liu yesterday.

Cheng Jia, who is also in love with Mo Xiuchen and whose feelings for him has reached the point of no return, is known to Shen Yuting. She knows that the sole goal for Cheng Jia in the MS Group is to become Mo Xiuchen’s woman.

Shen Yuting pressed her lips together, unlocked her phone, took a deep breath, and dialed out to Jiang Liu’s number.

The phone rang for quite a few times before the person on the other end picked up. Jiang Liu’s low, gentle voice came over: “Hello, Yuting.”

“I hope I’m not disturbing your work.”

Shen Yuting, sunk in her chair, sat up at once. She rose, walked from behind her office desk toward the window.

Jiang Liu let out a light chuckle on the other end of the line. His voice was cheerful and pleasant: “No, I have finished all my work. I was just about to call you. What kind of gift do you like? I’m going out to buy something now, and I’ll be back in the afternoon.”

As Shen Yuting stood by the window looking outside, the sun was shining brightly outside. Several branches of peach blossoms were in full bloom, their faint fragrance wafting in with the breeze. A light floral fragrance lingered around her nostrils.

A smile fluttered across her face, her tone slightly surprised: “You’re coming back this afternoon?”

“Yes, I will be back this afternoon, Yuting, I miss you so much.”

In the final few words, there was a hint of tenderness in Jiang Liu’s lowered voice. If Shen Yuting hadn’t been implanted with doubts about him by Cheng Jia, she would have felt touched hearing him say that he missed her. Women are usually driven more by feelings than logic.

Not like men, who distinguish between love and lust so clearly. Being able to live together with Jiang Liu for this long, naturally she had genuine feelings for him.

What she didn’t expect was to be informed that he was deceiving her, just as she was on the verge of falling in love with him.

“I miss you too, just bring me some local specialties from there.” With a changed mind, she said softly.

On the other end of the line, Jiang Liu seemed slightly taken aback for half a second before promptly agreeing with a laugh, “Okay, I’ll bring some local specialties back for you.”

“What time is your flight? I can pick you up when it lands.” Shen Yuting commented, hoping that Jiang Liu’s words were true and that he was genuinely away on business.

“No need, you’re busy with work. Don’t neglect your patients just to pick me up. Just wait for me at home.”

There was no hint of abnormality in Jiang Liu’s tone. Even though he didn’t want her to pick him up at the airport, his reasons were plausible.

She is a doctor and a very dedicated one at that. He knew this well, having spent so much time with her.

He wouldn’t typically let trivial matters interfere with her work.

“Alright then, I’ll wait for you at home.”

Shen Yuting gave a faint smile, her voice soft. They chatted for a bit more before hanging up.

She hesitated, then dialed another number. This time, the call was answered after only two rings. A light-hearted voice came through the receiver, “Yuting, what made you phone me? I thought you’d forgotten all about me.”

The person on the other end was Shen Yuting’s classmate and a good friend.

She gave a small laugh, joked around with her friend for a bit before getting to the point, “Ah Mei, can you do me a favor? Check to see if there is a person named Jiang Liu admitted to your hospital.”

“Alright, but you need to tell me, what’s your relationship with this Jiang Liu person. Is he your boyfriend?”

“I’ll buy you a coffee some other time.”

Shen Yuting evaded the question.
