Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2630: Chapter 434: His Heart Is Just as Dark

A message alert sounded after a minute.

Chu Junming picked up the phone on the table and checked the message contents.

He smirked slightly.

…

Close to noon, as work was ending.

Qin Qingqing called Qingling to ask if she’d like to have lunch together.

Qingling said she was already meeting someone.

“Brother Ziyi, Qingling isn’t joining us, let’s go back home and eat.”

After hanging up, Qingqing said to Mo Ziye, who was behind his desk.

Mo Ziye raised an eyebrow slightly, “She’s eating at the cafeteria?”

Qingqing laughed, “No way, Qingling said she’s already meeting someone, doesn’t want to be our third wheel.”

Mo Ziye’s lips curled into a faint smile, “Maybe she’s off working for her three billion.”

After work, the two walked out of the company building and saw Bai Qingling and Chu Junming ahead.

Qingqing’s eyes flashed with surprise and envy, “Qingling is really impressive, earning billions with ease.”

Mo Ziye also noticed Bai Qingling and Chu Junming a few meters ahead.

Bai Qingling tilted her head and was saying something to Chu Junming.

Her face still carried a smile.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Retracting his gaze, he looked at Qingqing, “You really envy Qingling for easily earning billions?”

“Ah, not too envious, Brother Ziyi’s money is mine, too, I’m basically wealthy now.”

Qingqing responded swiftly with a laugh.

Mo Ziye looked at her smiling, his lips curled again.

But his smile bore a different meaning than Qingqing’s.

Qingqing blinked at him, “Brother Ziyi, your smile is…”

She couldn’t find words to describe it.

All the words she thought up, she didn’t dare to use.

Mo Ziye watched the parking lot ahead, Chu Junming and Bai Qingling got into a car, Bai Qingling drove onto the avenue.

He slowly said, “Lucky Zirui isn’t a girl.”

“Huh?”

Qingqing looked at him.

What does he mean?

Even as they sat in the car, Mo Ziye didn’t clarify for Qingqing.

Qingqing turned sideways in her seat, gazing at Mo Ziye with anticipation, “Brother Ziyi, what do you mean earlier, saying lucky Zirui isn’t a girl, are you actually biased towards boys?”

“Is that how you interpreted it?”

Mo Ziye raised a hand and flicked her forehead lightly.

Qingqing wrinkled her face with a smile, “You said it yourself, if I don’t interpret it like that, should I think you favor girls? I was even thinking of having another daughter.”

At the end of her sentence, Qingqing seemed a bit disappointed.

Mo Ziye couldn’t bear it, his large hand reached out again to mess up her hair.

Only when Qingqing had her hands wrapped around her head did he retract his hand.

“I meant girls shouldn’t easily earn money from unfamiliar men, lucky Zirui isn’t a girl, otherwise I’d worry he’d end up as dumb as Qingling.”

“…”

Is Qingling really dumb?

I didn’t think she was.

Qingqing thought only in her heart.

As Mo Ziye started the car and drove on the road again, he patiently explained, “Chu Junming isn’t the kind of person who’s rich and stupid, actually, he’s quite capable and has a darker heart.”

To be one of the Four Young Masters of the Capital.

How could he be stupid?

…

Bai Qingling’s car headed towards Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion.

At the driver’s seat, she was focused on the road ahead, while beside her, Chu Junming reclined lazily against the seatback.

With a phone in hand, it seemed like he was playing a game.

“What game are you playing?”

Bai Qingling asked curiously.

Chu Junming glanced at her, “Focus on driving.”

“I know.”

Bai Qingling’s tone was slightly frustrated.

But she wasn’t upset.

She was completely certain now, she had indeed offended this young master.

Unsure of when his annoyance would dissipate.

For the rest of the journey.

She didn’t speak again, focusing fully on driving.

After half an hour.

The car stopped at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion’s underground parking lot, Bai Qingling opened the car door and glanced back at Chu Junming.

He was sending a message to someone.

Bai Qingling swallowed the words she was about to say, went around the car, opened the door for him with a bright smile, “Get out of the car.”

“Thank you.”

Chu Junming thanked her and got out.

The two walked into Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, the lobby manager greeted them, listening to Bai Qingling say she and Chu Junming were the only ones.

So they were led to a smaller room on the fourth floor.

“Let’s take the stairs.”

Chu Junming glanced at Bai Qingling when he spoke, then told the lobby manager, “Go ahead with your work, we can find our way upstairs.”

He already mentioned the room number before, no need to lead them, they could find it by themselves.

Besides, the one beside him, her familiarity with Yi Pin Xuan was probably like her backyard.

“Okay.”

The lobby manager replied with a smile.

Chu Junming ascended two steps, Bai Qingling followed.

She wore high heels, making it inconvenient to climb stairs.

Even with light steps, her heels didn’t touch the marble, yet each step made a distinct sound in the quiet stairwell.

As they climbed from the second to the third floor, Bai Qingling paused to rest, holding the rail, telling Chu Junming ahead, “You wait for me on the fourth floor.”

Though she was slow, Chu Junming’s legs were long.

But he maintained a gap of just two steps between them.

He was playing on his phone all along.

Upon hearing her, he turned and looked down at her, “Too tired to continue?”

“Not really.”

Chu Junming raised an eyebrow, silently watching her.

Bai Qingling continued climbing.

Two more steps to the third floor, Chu Junming suddenly turned around.

Where he stood happened to block the light from above, casting a shadow over her head.

Bai Qingling stared at him blankly, “Why did you stop?”

“Aren’t you tired?”

He looked at her indifferently, his voice equally detached.

Bai Qingling blinked.

“I’m not tired, let’s go.”

It’s just the fourth floor.

She only stopped because her heels were too thin today, no need to rest every few steps.

Chu Junming made a sound in acknowledgment.

Turned and continued up the stairs.

In the corridor leading to the restroom, Jian Ye halted.

It seemed like he heard Bai Qingling’s voice earlier.

In the room.

Qingling finished ordering food, after the waiter left, her phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Bai Qingling’s eyes sparkled, she pressed the answer button, “Hello.”

“Qingling, it’s me, Jian Ye.”

On the phone, Jian Ye’s voice came with a clear, cheerful tone.

Qingling brushed back the hair near her ear, spoke with a smile, “I recognized it, do you need anything?”

“I just saw your car at Yi Pin Xuan, you’re here, right?”

Bai Qingling glanced at Chu Junming.

He reclined on the chair, casually looking at his phone.

Seemingly oblivious to her gaze, not lifting his head once.

Bai Qingling smiled back, telling Jian Ye on the phone, “I’m here having lunch with a friend.”

“So it wasn’t an illusion or mishearing on my part… I heard Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo returned, they won’t be traveling again soon, right?”

Jian Ye shifted the topic, Bai Qingling automatically ignored his earlier statement, about some illusions and mishearings.
