Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1749: Chapter 1748: Not Letting Another Man Take Her Away

"Granny An, I want to hold my little sister."

Ziyi saw Qingqing’s little face and wasn’t satisfied, so he first extended a finger to gently touch Qingqing’s face.

Mimicking how adults tease children, he smiled at Qingqing.

"Sure, Ziyi, climb up here, and Granny will let you hold your little sister."

Next to him, Bai Xiaoxiao reached out to help Ziyi onto the sofa, but he stopped her, "Godmother, I can get up by myself."

"Alright."

Bai Xiaoxiao watched him climb onto the sofa with a smile, then extended her hands, ready to hand over the little sister.

Mom An placed Qingqing in Ziyi’s lap, but her hands never let go, softly supporting her.

"Auntie, has An Lin rested yet?"

Seeing Ziyi carefully holding Qingqing and still making her laugh, Bai Xiaoxiao asked Qin Mu’s mother beside her.

"An Lin hasn’t rested yet, she’s eating, Ah Mu is in the room, you can go in."

Bai Xiaoxiao knocked on the door twice before pushing it open to enter.

Only to see An Lin leaning against the headboard with a soft pillow supporting her back.

In front of the bed, Qin Mu was holding a bowl of soup, blowing on the spoonful of it. Seeing her come in, An Lin greeted her and said to Qin Mu, "Ah Mu, you can put the soup here, I’ll drink it when it cools down a bit."

"An Lin, you don’t need to feel embarrassed, just act like I’m not here."

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Mu, then at An Lin, teasing them with a smile.

Qin Mu put down the bowl and stood up, reminded An Lin not to forget to drink the soup later, greeted Bai Xiaoxiao, and then left the bedroom.

Once out in the living room, he saw Ziyi sitting on the sofa, holding Qingqing in a manner that actually looked quite proper.

The corners of Qin Mu’s mouth lifted instinctively as he strode to the sofa and sat down beside Ziyi, saying warmly, "Ziyi, let me hold your little sister, and you can play with her."

"Okay then."

After all, Ziyi was young; he got tired after holding her for a short while.

Qin Mu took Qingqing into his arms, and Ziyi turned to the side, grabbing Qingqing’s little hand with his own, calling out in a tender voice, "Little sister, little sister."

"Ziyi, how did you come here with your godmother? Where are your mom and dad?"

Qin Mu asked with a smile, feeling quite happy seeing Ziyi so fond of Qingqing.

After all, his wife An Lin had taken a liking to Ziyi a long time ago, saying she wanted him as a son-in-law.

Seeing the situation now, it wasn’t entirely impossible. With Ziyi so fond of Qingqing, it would naturally turn into love when they grow up.

"Dad is at home with Mom."

Ziyi looked up at Qin Mu, politely answering him, then lowered his head, teasing his sister.

"Did your parents give you permission to come?"

"Yes, both Mom and Dad agreed."

"Uncle Qin, can we discuss something?"

After playing with Qingqing for a while, Ziyi looked up, earnestly looking at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu raised an elegant brow, "Ziyi, what is it you want to discuss?"

"When my little sister can eat, let her stay at my house."

"Is this Ziyi’s idea, or have you discussed it with your mom and dad?"

Qin Mu chuckled, thinking Ziyi was young but always had his own opinions.

Ziyi blinked his beautiful eyes and said with a cheeky smile, "Uncle Qin, my mom and dad will definitely agree."

"Oh, how are you so sure?"

Looking at Ziyi’s confident little face, Qin Mu couldn’t help but think of his dad. This kid Ziyi really inherited everything from Mo Xiuchen.

Including this confidence.

Ziyi gave Qin Mu a ’Uncle Qin, you’re really stupid’ look, and with a calmness that belied his age, said, "Uncle Qin, when my little sister grows up, she’s supposed to be my wife."

"..."

The corners of Qin Mu’s mouth twitched, it seemed An Lin’s wish might come true.

"My uncle said, my dad regretted it so much when he lost Mom back then."

Ziyi spoke, sliding down from the sofa, holding Qingqing’s little hands in his.

"I want to guard my sister, love her, care for her, so when she grows up, she won’t be taken away by another man."

"..."

Who instilled these ideas into Ziyi? Qin Mu thought he should have a talk with Mo Xiuchen.

When Meng Ke arrived at Xu Wanqi’s house, she was changing clothes, preparing to shower.

Opening the door for him, she was still holding onto her pajamas.

"Senior, make yourself comfortable, I’ll take a shower first."

After saying this, Xu Wanqi turned and headed towards the bathroom.

"Wanqi, you have injuries on your arm and hand, you can’t shower."

Meng Ke frowned, reaching out to grab Xu Wanqi’s uninjured arm.

Xu Wanqi paused slightly, turning her head and speaking lightly, "Senior, I haven’t really showered these days in the hospital, it’s been unbearable, don’t worry, I won’t get my injuries wet."

"You only have one hand..."

"Senior, I won’t heal in a day or two, I can’t keep not showering. If you’re not letting me shower myself, do you plan to help me?"

In the end, Xu Wanqi couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

Meng Ke was taken aback, remembering what Xu Wanfei said on the phone.

His eyes flashed with hesitation as he let go of her hand.

Xu Wanqi didn’t linger or say anything else and turned and went into the bathroom.

Meng Ke stared at the bathroom for a moment then sat down on the sofa, thinking more and more that Xu Wanfei had tricked him.

Considering Xu Wanqi’s feelings for him, she couldn’t possibly have shared that secret with Xu Wanfei.

Back then, he had suspected Xu Wanqi might know something, but she always played dumb, so he believed her.

Until that day, when Xu Wanqi negotiated with him, requesting he stay at the hospital to care for her until she was discharged.

Only then did she reveal the secret to him.

Even though Xu Wanqi had threatened him, that if anything happened to her, his secret would become known to the world, Meng Ke still felt Xu Wanqi wouldn’t easily tell Xu Wanfei.

Just as he was lost in thought, there was suddenly a scream from the bathroom.

It was Xu Wanqi’s voice.

It sounded like she had fallen.

Meng Ke’s expression changed, he got up, ran to the bathroom door, and knocked twice, "Wanqi, are you alright?"

"It hurts."

From inside came a painful voice.

Meng Ke frowned, pushing open the bathroom door, seeing Xu Wanqi lying on her side on the bathroom floor.

His eyes falling on her naked body, Meng Ke’s expression changed several times. Seeing her frowning in pain, he could only rush over, first turn off the showerhead, squat down and support her arm.

"Hiss..."

"Does this arm hurt too?"

"Yes, when I fell just now, it was this arm that got pinned underneath."

Xu Wanqi gritted her teeth, unsure if it was painful sweat or water, but her forehead was wet.

"I’ll lift you, bear with me for a moment."

Meng Ke took off his jacket, bent down, and picked up Xu Wanqi’s body.

Because she wasn’t wearing clothes and her body was all wet, Xu Wanqi at this moment was indescribably alluring, enticingly close.

Meng Ke was a man, a normal man, even if he wasn’t in love with Xu Wanqi, seeing her full, sensuous body and soft warmth in his arms, stimulated his senses one after another, causing his breathing to be slightly disordered.
