Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2586: Chapter 390:

"Sister Momo, Jian Ye said he has something to do and needs to leave first. I was the one who brought him here, so I’ll see him off."

After saying that, Bai Qingling added to Qinghuan, "Qinghuan, you go back with Momo and the others later, I won’t come back to pick you up."

"Go ahead, go ahead, I’m not a child who can’t find the way home."

Qinghuan, with her mouth still full of food, always had no resistance to delicious things. She didn’t feel shy about eating the food Feng Yize had put in her bowl.

Or hesitate not to eat it.

As long as it was something she liked, she wouldn’t miss out.

She mumbled her response while waving her hand to Qingling.

Telling her not to worry about her.

Bai Qingling didn’t linger any longer, clicking her high heels towards the door.

However, she had taken just two steps when Chu Junming’s voice rang out coolly, "Are you driving in those shoes?"

Bai Qingling paused in her steps.

Turning her head, she saw everyone else looking at her.

With Chu Junming’s mention, everyone noticed she was wearing stiletto high heels.

"What, do you have a problem with that?"

Wen Qinghuan seemed a bit stunned, glancing at Chu Junming and then at Bai Qingling. Seeing that she deliberately misled Chu Junming and noticing the sarcasm in his eyes, she instinctively helped explain, "No, Sister Qingling has shoes in her car. She changes into these after getting out."

Momo, knowing Bai Qingling’s habits and preferences, had a smile in her eyes, "Junming, Qingling wouldn’t risk her life like that while driving."

These shoes were newly bought by Bai Qingling, the latest style of the season. She’s a shoe enthusiast, particularly keen on new shoes she just bought.

So, she’s been wearing them for the past few days.

She only takes them off when driving.

Chu Junming listened to Momo and Qinghuan’s explanations but didn’t turn around.

Mo Yu’s eyes darkly fixed on Bai Qingling, looking at her defiant expression.

He knew she was still angry about that unpleasant phone call the other day.

What on earth did he do to upset her that day?

He still couldn’t figure it out.

From start to finish, he had only been discussing work with her. It seemed he hadn’t said anything to insult her professional abilities.

Moreover, he was the one who got hung up on, she was the one who hung up, and yet, he’s not angry, and she still is.

Such a petty woman.

"Is there anything else? If not, I’m leaving."

Bai Qingling, being stared at by Chu Junming’s deep gaze, felt bad.

Chu Junming nonchalantly withdrew his gaze, picking up some food and elegantly putting it in his mouth, eating gracefully.

As if he hadn’t heard Bai Qingling’s words, yet it was a response to her earlier attitude.

Bai Qingling felt a block in her chest seeing this.

Puffed her cheeks, seeing Chu Junming eating so calmly, she rolled her eyes and pursed her lips before heavily stepping away in her high heels.

——

Momo watched as the private room door closed, her gaze sweeping over Chu Junming, who was focused on eating. She wanted to ask something but refrained, thinking of Qinghuan.

"Momo, eat up, the food won’t taste good once it’s cold."

In her ear, Ye Zhan’s gentle voice interrupted her thoughts.

She looked up to meet his smiling, reassuring eyes.

Her eyes flickered slightly, understanding his gaze, she smiled back at him, deciding not to dwell on whatever friction there was between Chu Junming and Bai Qingling.

Qinghuan seemed to be eating happily.

Even though she had already eaten in another private room earlier, she still finished all the food Feng Yize put on her plate.

"Feng Yize, if you give me any more food, my stomach will burst."

Finally, she said to Feng Yize, rubbing her full stomach.

Feng Yize put some food in his mouth and asked concernedly, "Qinghuan, did you eat too much? It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have given you so much."

Qinghuan shook her head, smiling at him, "How can I blame you? You meant well. But, if I gain weight, I’m going to hold you responsible."

Feng Yize was amused by her words, his handsome features exceptionally charming, "You can’t gain weight from one meal. Besides, you’re so slim; even if you gain ten pounds, you wouldn’t look fat."

"I don’t believe you. If I gain ten more pounds, I’ll have double chins, double bellies, double arms, and double legs."

"..."

Feng Yize was stunned looking at her.

He’s only ever heard of double chins.

Are there double bellies, double arms, and double legs too?

——

Bai Qingling knew that as long as Chu Junming was in G City, she wouldn’t have a good day.

And she was right.

She had just dropped off Jian Ye at the hotel and was ready to go home.

Then her phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Bai Qingling suddenly had a bad feeling. She bit her lip, lightly tapping the steering wheel with one hand, holding the phone with the other.

Staring at the name flashing on the screen, she was reluctant to answer.

After a while, the call disconnected automatically.

A sly smile emerged in Bai Qingling’s eyes.

She tossed the phone aside, put on her seatbelt, and just then, the phone vibrated again.

Bai Qingling frowned displeasedly.

Taking a deep breath, she forcefully pressed the answer button, putting it on speaker.

"Brother Ziyi, what’s up?"

She leaned on the steering wheel, tilting her head to look at the phone, asking weakly.

"Qingling, why does your voice sound so strange?" From the phone, Mo Ziye’s deep voice conveyed three parts doubt, two parts concern.

"Hmm, I have a stomachache, Brother Ziyi. If there’s nothing important, I’ll hang up."

"Where are you?"

"I’m, home."

Bai Qingling lied.

Her intuition told her that Mo Ziye reaching out wouldn’t be good news.

"Did you get home that fast?" Mo Ziye’s tone shifted slightly, carrying a three-part smile.

He had received a phone call saying she went to drop off a guy.

And now she’s home already?

It didn’t sound believable.

"What do you mean fast, Brother Ziyi? What do you want?" Bai Qingling’s voice sounded even more uncomfortable.

"If you’re home, just forget it, but Chu Junming has come to G City, and he said he won’t stay for more than two days..."

Chu Junming was in G City for a business trip because of their new collaborative project, which had a deviation in a certain set of data.

Although it was a minor deviation, it was a significant, serious issue.

However, it wasn’t urgent at the moment.

Mo Ziye received a call from Chu Junming saying he was short on time, asking if it was possible to have relevant personnel work overtime today...

And Bai Qingling was the project leader collaborating with the Chu Family.

Naturally, she couldn’t escape.

So, Mo Ziye called her, intending for her to meet up with Chu Junming at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion and then head back to the company.

"Brother Ziyi, I can’t communicate with Chu Junming. Maybe you should find someone else."

Bai Qingling felt her and Chu Junming’s energies didn’t align, and their worldviews differed. No matter what they discussed, it always ended unpleasantly.

"Qingling, if you’re unwilling to cooperate with Chu Junming, maybe you can ask Uncle Luo to return."

"..." Bai Qingling closed her eyes, not even wanting to look at her phone anymore.

But even if she didn’t look, Mo Ziye’s voice still came from the phone. Hearing his words, her delicate face lifted from the steering wheel, her watery eyes full of shock, "Brother Ziyi, what did you say?"
