Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2645: All Right, I'll Listen to You (Extra 3)

“Mm.”

Mo Ziye responded rather casually.

If they don’t believe it, then don’t take them along to play.

After ending the call with Ziyang, Mo Ziye started working.

Imperial City.

Chu Junming walked out of security, and the driver took his luggage, respectfully asking, “Young Master, would you like to go home first, or to the company first?”

The phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Chu Junming slightly raised his eyebrows.

He strode forward, not answering the driver’s question, and pressed the answer button, “Hello.”

“Chu Junming, I’ve been timing it. Have you left the airport yet?”

The caller was Bai Qingling.

Having earned some money, Bai Qingling’s voice was cheerful, and her good mood could be felt even over the phone.

Chu Junming’s lips curled slightly, “Just exited security. Aren’t you busy?”

“Ah, not too busy. Is someone there to pick you up?”

“Yes.”

Chu Junming didn’t ask Bai Qingling why she called.

She chatted on and on, and he accompanied her absentmindedly.

The driver followed behind, listening to Chu Junming’s cheerful voice, without knowing whom he was talking to. But thinking of the young lady living at home.

Once the young master returns, he might have issues with the lady.

He certainly can’t maintain such a good mood, feeling some sympathy for the young master.

“Chu Junming, for that three-month short-term project, I want to invest more. Is that okay?”

Chu Junming glanced at the driver who opened the car door, bent down, and sat inside, while the driver closed the door.

He chuckled lightly, “You want to add more money?”

“Mm.”

Bai Qingling was indeed quite a money enthusiast.

Thinking of this, Chu Junming said quite readily, “Sure, how much do you want to add?”

The driver, after sitting in the driver’s seat, didn’t know where to head, so he turned his body to glance back to seek his instruction.

“To the company.”

Chu Junming instructed the driver.

He reached out to grab the tea prepared by the driver on the small table in front of him.

Then heard Bai Qingling’s light and cheerful voice from the phone, “I want to add a billion.”

“…”

His expression froze.

The hand holding the teacup slightly trembled.

The cup, just lifted off the table, was slowly placed back down. Chu Junming moved the phone in front of him to check the name on the screen.

It was Bai Qingling, no mistake.

He pursed his lips, gently asking, “Qingling, did you just say you want to add a billion?”

The driver upfront, not knowing the content of their conversation, was just shocked by the mention of a billion.

“Yeah, don’t worry, my money is legit.”

“I know, did Uncle Luo give it to you?”

Chu Junming probed.

A billion isn’t impossible; it’s just that doubling in three months…

“Ah, it’s not from my dad. I borrowed it from Brother Ziyi, Chu Junming. Brother Ziyi said following you to invest won’t be wrong…”

“Really?”

Chu Junming chuckled lightly, rather faintly.

Mo Ziye.

“Of course, you don’t think I made it up, do you? It’s truly Brother Ziyi. He said the project you favor won’t be wrong, so he lent a billion to Qingqing and me.”

Bai Qingling trusts someone to the extent she’d say anything.

After several billion-dollar dealings, her trust in Chu Junming was like that with close kin.

So she repeated Mo Ziye’s words verbatim to Chu Junming.

The driver had already driven onto the main road, the car ahead slowing down, so he slowed too.

Chu Junming didn’t pick up the teacup again, his tall frame lazily leaned against the seatback, his clean, long fingers idly caressing the cup.

Listening to Bai Qingling praising him over the phone.

“Mm, it won’t be a loss.”

“Should I have Brother Ziyi contact you?”

Once Chu Junming agreed, Bai Qingling was even happier.

As if she could already see the zeros lining up for her to count.

“Didn’t you have money placed with Mo Ziye before?”

“Yes.”

“Then there’s no need for him to contact me. You take charge and consider his feelings a bit.”

Chu Junming’s hint was clear, and of course, Qingling understood.

Investing with Mo Ziye wasn’t as profitable as with Chu Junming, yet Mo Ziye lent her five billion.

Qingling found Chu Junming’s words quite sensible, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Even though Brother Ziyi doesn’t say much on the surface, he might feel uncomfortable inside. Chu Junming, remember to include me in future profitable projects.”

“Sure.”

Chu Junming responded warmly.

“I won’t keep you any longer, still have heaps of work to handle.”

“Wait a moment, I have something to ask of you.”

Chu Junming turned to glance out the window, speaking unhurriedly.

“Hold on a second; I’ll call you back later.”

A knocking sound came from the phone’s other end; Bai Qingling was unaware of what business required attention.

“Okay.”

“I’ll call you in a bit.”

After Bai Qingling finished speaking, she ended the call.

“Young Master, Madam wants me to tell you to come home for lunch.”

Up front, the driver, seeing that Chu Junming hung up, cautiously spoke.

Chu Junming was checking the call duration on screen, hearing the driver’s words, his brows furrowed, and he locked the phone screen, placing it on the table in front of him.

Twisting the cap of the bottle to drink some water, he then raised his eyes to look at the driver.

Just now, his gentle features were now covered with a thin, cold veneer, “Have a luncheon, no time.”

“…”

The driver dared not speak further.

Chu Junming glanced at his phone, his gaze not having left before the screen lit up again.

But the caller ID made him frown.

Watching the phone vibrate for some time, Chu Junming finally pressed the answer button, “Hello, Mom.”

“Junming, you’re off the plane, right? When are you coming home?”

“There’s work at the company, heading straight there.” In contrast to Mother Chu’s enthusiasm, Chu Junming’s voice sounded quite indifferent.

“Heading straight to the company? Work is important, but you can come home for lunch. I’ll have your favorite dishes prepared for you…”

“Mom, there’s a luncheon, can’t leave.”

“It’s okay, I’ll have Little Qian stay for a few days. Once you’re done with work, just come home early for dinner.”

“Mom.”

Suddenly, Chu Junming’s voice deepened.

Yesterday, his mother had already mentioned on the phone that if he didn’t come back for matchmaking, she’d invite the woman she fancied to their home directly.

So he returned.

“Junming, it’s for your own good. You’ve been unmarried for too long; your uncles may not say it outright, but they’ve been gossiping and spreading rumors behind your back… Little Qian has a better temperament than the previous girls you’ve met; she’s also pretty… Anyway, no need to hurry home, company work is priority. Little Qian has seen your photo and knows you’re a workaholic; she said she’ll be considerate and not cling to you.”
