Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1209: 1208 What are you thanking me for? Be more specific.

Wen Jin showed a hint of apologetic smile, “I haven’t had the chance to tell General Qian yet, we were just talking about you and Mo Xiuchen when you arrived. You shouldn’t always make me tell people that Yiyi is the mother of your child. Besides going to my factory to help during the day, I never let her work overtime.”

By the end of it, Wen Jin’s words turned into a complaint towards Gu Kai.

“So, Miss Bai is Young Master Gu’s wife, both Young Master Gu and Miss Bai truly are a talented man and a beautiful woman…”

Qian Songnan quickly piled on the praise with a smiling face.

As Gu Kai and Mo Xiuchen had just taken their seats, the manager knocked and entered. Mo Xiuchen instructed him to serve a new table of dishes. After the manager left, Mo Xiuchen said to Qian Songnan and CEO Zhang: “Both General Qian and CEO Zhang, please make yourselves at home. As soon as Ah Jin told me that he was hosting important guests here at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, I immediately came over.”

Qian Songnan and CEO Zhang’s faces were all smiles. Although both Mo Xiuchen and Gu Kai had smiles on their lips, there was an inherent noble aura in their smiles, a feeling they had also sensed from Wen Jin earlier.

They were warmly hosting them, yet there was a natural aloofness that seemed to indicate an indifference to whether or not they partnered.

Thinking of what Bai Yiyi had said before they returned to the hotel after touring the workshop in the afternoon, Qian Songnan and CEO Zhang couldn’t help but look at each other.

“Ah Kai, since General Qian and Yiyi have known each other for a long time, why didn’t you bring Yiyi with you?” Mo Xiuchen turned his gaze and smiled at Gu Kai.

“She is at home taking care of Tongtong.” Gu Kai picked up a glass of water, elegantly took a sip, but did not put it down, instead casually fiddling with it in his hand.

Qian Songnan felt somewhat gloomy. Earlier, when Wen Jin mentioned that Gu Kai was coming, he thought about bringing up his illness at the dinner table, hoping it would be easier with Wen Jin’s introduction.

But now, hearing that Bai Yiyi is his wife, he couldn’t help feeling anxious.

“Young Master Gu, I watched your interview a few days ago…”

“Sorry, I need to take this call.” Just as Qian Songnan started to speak, Gu Kai’s phone inconveniently rang.

“Please, go ahead and take it.”

Qian Songnan quickly made a gesture inviting him to answer.

Gu Kai pulled out his phone, saw the caller ID, his lips curved into a tender smile, his long fingers pressed the answer button, and in front of everyone, he joyously said: “Hello, Yiyi.”

“Daddy.”

As soon as his voice fell, Tongtong’s childish voice came through.

“Tongtong, are you missing Daddy?”

Gu Kai’s smile deepened significantly upon hearing Tongtong’s voice, his expression brimming with the pride and happiness of a father.

On the other end, Bai Yiyi sat on the sofa, watching Tongtong speaking on the phone with a gentle smile.

When she heard Gu Kai’s previous “Yiyi,” although Tongtong was holding the phone, she was close enough to hear his voice very clearly.

“Missing Daddy.”

Tongtong cheerfully replied, her bright eyes gazing at Bai Yiyi, then exclaimed: “Mommy”

Bai Yiyi shook her head, pushed back the phone handed to her, but seeing Tongtong wanting to go bathe after seeing her grandma coming out of the room with her pajamas, she shook her head, “Tongtong bath time.”

Bai Yiyi had no choice but to take the phone, “Tongtong is going to take a bath now.”

“Alright, you go help Tongtong with her bath. Ah Jin, Mo Xiuchen, and I are at Yi Pin Xuan. We’ll be back late tonight.”

Seeing him hang up the phone, Wen Jin joked with a smile, “Is it because Tongtong won’t sleep without seeing you again?”

“Yep.”

Gu Kai laughed and nodded, putting his phone back into his pocket. The waiters streamed in and soon, the large round table was covered with a new spread of dishes.

After the waiters left, Gu Kai glanced at Wen Jin beside him and started to introduce the dishes to the clients, “CEO Zhang, General Qian, these are all Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion’s signature dishes. You must try them all…”

The next morning, Bai Yiyi got up and immediately received a call from Gu Kai.

“Songnan’s issue, I’ve settled it for you, Bai Yiyi, remember the condition you promised me.”

The pride in Gu Kai’s tone dissipated the remnants of Bai Yiyi’s sleepiness. She rubbed her eyes and asked, “What do you mean by settled? Did Songnan sign the contract?”
