Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2677 - 481: Bonus Update Five

Chu Junming easily avoided Father Chu’s outstretched hand, taking two steps back, standing tall by the table, still holding his phone.

With a serious and calm look on his clear-cut face, he said, "Dad, you’ve been ignoring Mom all these years. Now with me at the company, you can take her traveling and have some fun."

"But you can’t say that I went to G City to pick her up..."

"I thought you shouldn’t have come back early. Your wife went to G City causing trouble, and I sent you there to stop her, but you just took a look and ran back."

"Junming, be honest with me, do you have someone you like?"

Father Chu, unable to retrieve the phone, was not in a hurry anymore.

He leaned back onto the chair, crossed his arms, and looked at Chu Junming.

Chu Junming thought for a moment, then nodded lightly, "Yes."

"So, you sent me to G City not really afraid Mom would ruin your relationship with Ah Zhan?"

Chu Junming frowned slightly, the expression on his brows fading, "That’s also true."

Father Chu asked curiously, "What’s the name of the person you like? This girl who paints is the one Yi Ze likes, so who do you like?"

"Dad, Mom has messaged you again."

Chu Junming handed the phone back to Father Chu, "Reply to her yourself."

"..."

Father Chu stared at him, without taking the phone.

Chu Junming chuckled softly, "If you don’t reply, then I’ll do it for you, but you can’t say it was me who replied."

"Okay."

Father Chu picked up the cup and drank water, his eyes still on his son.

Chu Junming sat back in his chair, comfortably crossing his legs, his long fingers tapping on the phone, [Seems like you had a good time today. How’s Ah Zhan and Jinchen’s wife, are they friendly to you?]

Father Chu couldn’t see what message Chu Junming replied with.

He just noticed the smile on his lips and was sure he was setting a trap for Mother Chu.

After sending such a long message, Chu Junming took a sip of water.

Then picked up his phone, clicked on Bai Qingling’s avatar, and sent her a message with one hand, [Qingling, send me your ID information]

After he sent it, Mother Chu’s voice message replied immediately.

Chu Junming converted it to text. Although there were a couple of typos, it didn’t affect reading the content.

[It wasn’t playing with Ye Zhan and Tang Jinchen’s wife today. I haven’t met Tang Jinchen’s wife. This morning I went shopping with Jiang Qian all morning, at noon I ran into Bai Qingling and Wen Qinghuan, and ate lunch with them...]

[Those two girls sound nice, could it be you like them as much as you liked Jiang Qian?]

Chu Junming casually baited Mother Chu.

On his own phone, Bai Qingling replied with a sentence, [Why do you need my ID information?]

Mother Chu replied very quickly:

[It’s a different feeling, Qingling and Qinghuan are quite adorable, not at all like daughters of nouveaux riches, and they even have hobbies in common with me.]

Chu Junming focused on the words "daughters of nouveaux riches."

The curve of his lips gradually faded away.

[You think they’re cute, then you should consider Jiang Qian’s feelings, she might be uncomfortable if you like them. I’ve heard those girls all look prettier than her.]

[No way, I’ve already made her my goddaughter.]

[That doesn’t sound very certain. You’re unsure about Jiang Qian’s character, but both Ah Zhan and Jinchen are sworn brothers to Junming. The people they approve of can’t be bad.]

After sending that, Chu Junming handed the phone back to Father Chu, "Dad, enjoy yourself, I’m leaving now."

"Aren’t you staying for dinner?"

"Nope."

Father Chu watched Chu Junming’s figure disappear from view.

Then he lowered his head to look at the chat record he had with Mother Chu just now.

Before even coming back, Chu Junming hadn’t planned to stay for dinner at home, his car was already parked outside.

Upon leaving the mansion and getting in the car, he didn’t start it immediately.

Instead, he dialed Bai Qingling’s number.

The phone rang several times, but no one answered.

Chu Junming frowned a little, tossed his phone aside, and fastened his seatbelt.

...

In G City, Ye Zhan somehow found out that Mother Chu spent all afternoon in Wen Qinghuan’s studio.

So he and Tang Jinchen brought their wives to the hotel to pick up Mother Chu and invite her for dinner.

Only her.

Ye Zhan’s reason was simple, Gu Zhitong was pregnant and didn’t want Jiang Qian to tag along, avoiding any unpleasantness like last time.

Mother Chu hung up the phone and went next door to find Jiang Qian.

Opening the door, Jiang Qian still looked listless, "Godmother."

"What’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"

Mother Chu stood at the door, looking at Jiang Qian curiously. Thinking back, she hadn’t been very talkative since she came back this afternoon.

She didn’t talk all the way up the stairs either.

Now that she opened the door, she didn’t let her in.

"No, godmother, are we going down for dinner? Hold on a second."

Jiang Qian said as she turned to get her clothes, but Mother Chu stopped her, "If you’re not well, you don’t have to come. I’ll bring back something you want to eat later, you should rest."

"I’m not..."

"That’s decided then. I’m going to eat first, call me if you need anything."

Mother Chu said it all and turned away before Jiang Qian could say another word.

Jiang Qian bit her lip, watching Mother Chu’s departing back, her expression changing several times.

Mother Chu entered the elevator, and only then did she close the door.

...

At the Bai Family.

Bai Qingling finished dinner and went upstairs, only then seeing the missed call from Chu Junming.

Earlier, after replying to his message, her aunt called her to dinner, so she threw her phone on the bed and went downstairs to eat.

It had been over half an hour since he had called.

She thought for a moment, took out her ID from her bag and placed it on the sheet.

She snapped a few photos and chose the most satisfactory one to send him.

The photo on the ID was a bit unattractive and quite youthful, though that was just Bai Qingling’s own opinion.

Less than a minute after the message was sent, the phone rang.

Chu Junming sent a video call request.

Bai Qingling stared at her phone for two seconds, first glancing around her room to make sure nothing inappropriate was visible.

Once she confirmed the room was tidy, she sat on the sofa and pressed the answer button.

As soon as the video connected, the man’s handsome features filled her screen; he was using a computer, not a phone.

What Bai Qingling saw was not just his face but all of him; he was wearing a shirt and lounging in a chair, with a row of bookshelves behind him.

"Are you at home?"

Bai Qingling gazed at the bookshelves behind him for a few seconds, confirming it wasn’t an office, it should be a home study.

Chu Junming smiled gently, gliding his feet slightly, moving the chair back just a bit, so she could see his bookshelves more clearly.

His clear and pleasant voice came from the phone, "Good eyes, you recognized it right away. Welcome to tour my study, is there any book you like? I’ll give it to you."
