Chapter 1464: 1463 He wants her, for a lifetime.
Wen Jin just picked up the water and hadn’t taken a sip when he heard Mo Xiuchen’s words. He smiled indifferently, “I’m fine. Yiyi, you don’t have to go to work this afternoon.”
Gu Kai smiled and, before Bai Yiyi could refuse, he said first, “Let’s go, come to the hospital with me, I have something to tell you.”
“You’re going to the hospital to work, I’ll just be a bother, I can stay home and accompany Tongtong.”
“Yiyi, you should go to the hospital with Ah Kai, I’ll take care of Tongtong,” Bai Yuqin also smiled as she advised. Just a few days ago, she had been worried that Yiyi and Gu Kai would break up like this.
She was feeling so guilty.
In the blink of an eye, they’ve registered their marriage.
Even now, Bai Yuqin feels it’s a bit unreal, like being in a dream.
Especially after Fang Zhiwei came over at noon today, her sense of unreality mixed with a touch of unease, wishing Bai Yiyi and Gu Kai would stay together every second, not giving other women a chance.
Bai Yiyi saw that everyone was eager for her to go to the hospital with Gu Kai, she sighed lightly and said reluctantly, “Alright, I’ll take you to the hospital and then come back.”
“Ah Kai, you really have it good.”
Wen Jin teased with a smile.
“Ranran, why don’t you take me to work too?” Mo Xiuchen whispered flirtatiously into Wen Ran’s ear.
Wen Ran glared at him playfully, a smile spreading to her eyes, “With the three little ones tagging along?”
Mo Xiuchen’s mouth twitched, “Isn’t there a nanny to watch them?”
“Xiuchen, even if you want Ranran to take you to work, do it another day. I don’t want to be the third wheel,” Qin Mu said elegantly, wiping his mouth with a napkin.
“You can take Ah Jin’s car, or drive one from the garage yourself,” Mo Xiuchen glanced displeasedly at Qin Mu, then negotiated with Wen Ran, “Ranran, okay?”
“You’re the president of Haochen, don’t act like you’re as young as Ziyi, okay?” Wen Jin said with disdain.
After speaking, he stood up and said, “Ah Mu, are you leaving?”
“Bro, aren’t you guys eating?”
Gu Kai and Bai Yiyi had already left the living room, when they saw Wen Jin and Qin Mu about to leave as well, Wen Ran pulled her hand away from Mo Xiuchen’s grip and quickly asked.
Wen Jin smiled, “Ranran, with Xiuchen like this, I can’t eat anymore. If I don’t leave now, he might just open his mouth and kick us out. I’m quite busy in the afternoon, I need to head back to the factory.”
“Ranran, I’m also taking Tongtong home for a nap, you guys take your time eating.”
Bai Yuqin helped Tongtong slide off her chair, also standing up.
“Tongtong, say goodbye to Auntie and Uncle, and Uncle Qin, Uncle Wen,” Bai Yuqin taught Tongtong with a smile.
“Aunt Bai, don’t you and Tongtong want to play a bit longer?”
“No.”
Bai Yuqin smiled and shook her head. Following Bai Yuqin’s instructions, Tongtong said goodbye to everyone obediently and left with her.
Within a few minutes, the table had cleared.
“Xiuchen.”
Wen Ran watched all the guests leave from the dining room, frowning at Mo Xiuchen sitting beside her with an almost smug smile—he had no sense of hospitality at all.
Mo Xiuchen chuckled softly, pulling Wen Ran to sit down, “Ranran, you didn’t eat much earlier, and now the dishes are all cold…”
“I’m already full.”
Wen Ran interrupted before he finished speaking.
“Mommy, I’m full.”
Over there, Ziyi put down his utensils, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and slid off his chair.
“Go play then.”
Momo and Xinxin had already finished eating and went to the living room to play with building blocks. Wen Ran affectionately patted Ziyi’s head and let him go as well.
“Ranran, I have something to tell you, are you really not going to take me to work?”
Mo Xiuchen, at the company, is a strategic and decisive CEO, but in front of Wen Ran, he’s a clingy man.
Earlier, seeing Bai Yiyi take Gu Kai to work made him suddenly want Ranran to take him to work too.
“What about them?”
Wen Ran wasn’t actually unwilling. Spending a whole day at home with the kids, she would certainly enjoy the occasional alone time with him.
“That’s easy, let Nanny Zhang help take care of them. Spend the afternoon with me at work, consider it a break for yourself, and don’t think about the three little ones.”
Seeing Wen Ran’s expression soften, Mo Xiuchen’s deep eyes gleamed, and a charming, seductive smile curled at the corner of his lips.
***
Because of Bai Yiyi’s words about taking Gu Kai to the hospital, Gu Kai really settled into the passenger seat, letting her drive.
Bai Yiyi, true to her word, was acting as his chauffeur. Once the Maybach hit the road, it steadily made its way towards the hospital. In the passenger seat, Gu Kai lounged casually against the backrest, his dark eyes slightly downcast, focusing on the steering wheel and those slender, pale fingers.
Thinking about how they are already married and now husband and wife, from this moment until their hair turns gray, even to their last moment in life, they would always be together; his heart was filled with happiness.
“Yiyi.”
With a slight curve of his lips, he couldn’t help but call her softly.
Bai Yiyi glanced at him sideways, her eyes landing on the gentle and handsome smile at the corner of his lips, her heart skipped a beat.
“What is it?”
Narrowing her brow slightly, she silently calmed her emotions. It’s not like she hadn’t seen this man’s smile before, so why was her heart racing like a lovestruck fool?
With a gentle press of his lips, Gu Kai asked softly, “Now that we’re married, I still call your mom Aunt Bai, you’re not mad, right?”
Bai Yiyi’s hand on the steering wheel paused slightly, a faint twinge of pain emerging in her heart, “Ah Kai, I won’t be angry. I’ve said before that I don’t want to make things difficult for you. Just keep calling my mom the way you always have.”
She never required him to call her ‘Mom’ because she knew how much he loved his own mother.
If he called her ‘Mom’, it would remind him of unhappy things, and she couldn’t bear to see him upset.
Gu Kai felt a warm sensation spread through his heart, and a tender love emerged in his gaze toward her, “Yiyi, I’m just not used to it yet. My mom has been gone for so many years…”
He didn’t finish his sentence.
But he knew that the woman beside him understood.
“I know.”
The simple three words conveyed her compassion and tenderness for him.
There was also a deep sense of guilt—her parents caused him to lose his dearest mother, and now, for her sake, he has to regard her mother as his own and fulfill his filial duties.
Even though they were married, it wasn’t something they could simply put aside.
“Why don’t you and Tongtong move into my place? My dad sometimes travels, sometimes stays at the hospital, so he’s not home often. If you’re not comfortable living with him, we can stay in another apartment.”
Now that they’re married, living apart isn’t an option.
Their situation is unique, and where they stay is a matter to be discussed. Gu Kai didn’t want to force Bai Yiyi, just as Bai Yiyi didn’t want to make things difficult for him.
From the moment he decided to get back together with her, decided to propose, decided to get their marriage certificate, he made up his mind that no matter what happened in the past, no matter how much resentment existed in the previous generation…
He loves her and wants to be with her for a lifetime.
