Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2650: No More Schemes Against Him (Bonus Chapter 7)

“Qingling, what’s up?”

Jian Ye was watching Bai Qingling, noticing that the way he looked at him was a bit strange.

He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but it felt unusual.

He raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.

Bai Qingling smiled faintly, “Let’s stick to the revised version of the original renovation plan for the villa.”

“Huh?”

Jian Ye looked surprised.

Just a moment ago, Bai Qingling was examining it as if it were her own home and suggested several modifications.

His gaze swept over the phone in Bai Qingling’s hand, his brain working quickly to figure out if this had anything to do with Chu Junming.

He was increasingly unable to understand it.

Feng Yize also turned his face in surprise, “Qingling, didn’t you just make your selection? Why did you change your mind?”

Bai Qingling saw them all looking at her with puzzled expressions and said amusingly, “I thought it over and still felt that following the style Chu Junming initially discussed might be what he wants.”

Even though she really wanted to decorate the villa to her liking, if Chu Junming didn’t like it, she might as well buy it at a low price.

But seeing the red packet he sent.

And recalling the voice she heard on the phone.

She felt that Chu Junming rushing back urgently might be for his girlfriend, maybe his intention with the renovation was just…

In the future, she wouldn’t trick him anymore.

“Qingling, my third brother really isn’t picky.”

“I know, but just because he’s not picky doesn’t mean his future wife isn’t. As long as it doesn’t turn out exactly like Feng Yize’s, it’s fine.”

Feng Yize’s mouth twitched again.

“Does my third brother dislike me that much?”

Bai Qingling glanced at him without responding.

——

That evening, right as Chu Junming finished socializing and was preparing to return to his apartment, he received a call from Mother Chu.

She said Jiang Qian had a fever.

“Junming, I’m just asking you to come back and check on her, not asking you to marry her. The poor girl got sick because of you.”

“I’ll see when I have time.”

Chu Junming didn’t give Mother Chu a chance to nag and hung up the phone directly.

Returning to the apartment, he took a shower and saw it wasn’t yet midnight.

Just as he was thinking of calling Feng Yize, his phone rang first.

“Third brother, still up?”

“No, it’s late, what’s up?”

Chu Junming, in his pajamas, leaned back on the sofa, his long legs casually stretched out, exuding a lazy and slightly sexy vibe.

“Nothing much, just worried you might not be used to being alone in the Imperial City and might miss us.” Feng Yize’s laughter came through the night into his ears.

Chu Junming couldn’t help but chuckle twice, “Neither eldest brother nor second brother are worried about me, why are you?”

“Eldest brother and second brother are both newlyweds, no time to worry about you. In critical moments, it’s up to me. By the way, how did your talk with aunt go? Are you really going on a blind date?”

“Do you think I need a blind date?”

Chu Junming leaned forward, took a pack of cigarettes from the coffee table, and pulled out a cigarette.

Just as he was about to light it, he heard Feng Yize laughingly say on the other end of the line, “I thought you were going on a blind date. Even the red packet you sent Qingling at noon, she didn’t accept it, and changed the modifications she originally wanted to…”

Chu Junming’s hand which held the lighter paused.

He suppressed his gaze and placed the cigarette back into the pack.

His tall figure leaned back onto the sofa again, and he asked softly, “Really?”

“I didn’t add a single embellishment. Qingling was initially as invested as if she were renovating her own home. Third brother, I don’t think Qingling is interested anymore. Why don’t we postpone it till after the New Year?”

“After the New Year?”

Chu Junming contemplated Feng Yize’s words.

“Yes, G City isn’t as cold as the Imperial City, but it’s better after the New Year. Plus, we won’t finish it before the year-end.”

“Alright, take care of some preliminary preparations first, and leave the rest for after the New Year.”

He hadn’t planned to finish the renovation before the year-end anyway.

“Then I’ll sleep first, I’m exhausted.”

Feng Yize yawned and hung up the phone.

…

Ye Zhan received a call from Mother Chu on a weekend morning.

His holiday was just a week long, and he originally wanted to take Momo on a honeymoon, but Momo suggested staying home instead.

Ye Zhan thought it would be inconvenient for her to take her herbal medicine while traveling, so they stayed in.

Being with the one you love, whether admiring the outside scenery or watching each other at home, happiness suffuses the heart all the same.

Just as he was about to ask Momo to peel an egg, his phone rang.

He intended to ignore it.

But casting a casual glance and seeing the caller ID, a hint of surprise crossed Ye Zhan’s face.

He placed the peeled egg in Momo’s bowl, picked up the phone, and answered the call.

“Ah Zhan, have you had breakfast? Hope I’m not disturbing you?”

Mother Chu’s voice came across warmly and with a smile.

Ye Zhan watched as Momo separated the egg white from the yolk and then placed it in his bowl, a subtle smile tugging at his lips as he exchanged a few pleasantries with Mother Chu.

Only then did Mother Chu say, “Ah Zhan, Auntie wants to ask you for a favor.”

“What is it, Auntie?”

Ye Zhan guessed what Mother Chu was going to say.

He gestured to Momo towards the living room, stood up, and took the phone with him out of the dining room to answer it in the living room.

“It’s like this… Ah Zhan, Junming is closer to you sworn brothers than to his father and me. As his older brother, could you talk to him? If he continues like this, won’t he remain single his whole life?”

On the phone, Mother Chu poured out her troubles.

Essentially, she wanted Ye Zhan to persuade Chu Junming to come home. Even if he doesn’t like Jiang Qian, he should at least show some respect.

The Jiang family is a reputable family in the Imperial City, and acting this way might cause issues in the future for him and his management of the group.

Others may not know the situation with the Chu family, but Ye Zhan did.

In wealthy families, there are inevitably instances of scheming against each other.

Like Mo Ziye, Chu Junming entered the company at 18 and later took over the group. He may seem like a gentle and elegant noble young man, but his methods are quite impressive.

“Auntie, Junming has earned his position through ability over the years, you don’t have to worry about him. The shareholders aren’t foolish, if they want to count their money, they won’t dare to have any ill intentions.”

“It’s just that I worry about my son. Even if those people don’t dare to have ill thoughts, hurtful gossip can still harm. You’ve settled down with Jinchen and Yize also has a girl he likes, but he’s always been alone… Ah Zhan, please help Auntie this time, get him to come home to stay for a few days, just a few days, then I’ll send Jiang Qian home, okay?”

Mother Chu’s tone had softened significantly.

Before, when they were all single, though she mentioned blind dates to Chu Junming, she was never this pressing.

Ye Zhan’s attractive brows furrowed slightly, and the expression on his face softened considerably, “Auntie, I’ll give Junming a call later to check on the situation. These days, Junming hasn’t been in touch with me either.”

“Alright, you call him and ensure he comes home. He always listens to you. Ah Zhan, I’m counting on you for this. When you and Momo return to the Imperial City for a visit, make sure to come home for dinner.”
