Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 448: I really like it.

Kangning Hospital

Shen Yuting had just finished an operation and returned to her office, only to hear the ringing of her phone from inside her drawer.

She got back to her desk, took out her phone, saw the name on the incoming call, and pressed the accept button: “Hello!”

“Yuting, I have to work overtime at noon and can’t join you for lunch.”

The voice of Jiang Liu on the phone came with a hint of apology. Shen Yuting smiled slightly and said indifferently: “It’s alright, you have only started working for two days, just perform well. Are you working overtime tonight? I can cook something for you.”

“No need, I have to work overtime tonight as well, I need to quickly get familiar with the workflow…”

Ever since that day, Jiang Liu had been going out every day to look for a job. Yesterday, he finally passed an interview. Although it wasn’t a great job, he promised Shen Yuting he would work hard.

“Alright, just don’t overwork yourself.”

Shen Yuting softly advised, they chatted for two more minutes before they ended the call.

There was a knock on the door. Subsequently, the office door was pushed open, and Gu Kai, clad in a white lab coat, walked in, “Yuting, congratulations on a successful surgery.”

This surgery today was of a high difficulty level. Shen Yuting was the chief surgeon, and the surgery was completed a few minutes earlier than expected. It was very successful and worth celebrating.

“Cousin!”

Shen Yuting called out with a smile, watching Gu Kai walk over. Ignoring the chair, he sat directly on the desk.

“Yuting, who were you talking to just now? Is he your boyfriend?”

Gu Kai scrutinized Shen Yuting. She seemed a bit different these days, but it was hard to pinpoint exactly what had changed. But, she was different.

Just now, while he was outside, he had heard her speaking on the phone. Her voice was very gentle.

Shen Yuting candidly nodded: “Yes, he was unemployed for a while, but he found a new job yesterday. He is putting in effort to familiarize himself with the new job these days, so, said he can’t join me for lunch.”

Gu Kai’s eyes flashed, and a smile crept onto his lips: “Yuting, it seems like you are getting along well with him!”

Shen Yuting chuckled, her voice sounding just a touch more lighthearted: “Cousin, I think you were right. You don’t know the result until you try. I was too stubborn about Mo Xiuchen before and was unwilling to face the fact that he didn’t like me. Now, I suddenly feel that giving so much without any return is too painful.”

“He may not compare to Mo Xiuchen in any way, but he treats me very well. I am not the only one giving in this relationship. Now, I find this situation very satisfying.”

These words were her heartfelt thoughts.

Maybe because Jiang Liu resembled Mo Xiuchen to some extent, the feelings she harbored for Mo Xiuchen in her heart unknowingly and quietly drifted towards Jiang Liu.

A similar face and similar temperament at times. But the attitude Jiang Liu showed towards her was world’s apart from Mo Xiuchen’s. There is no woman who doesn’t want to be pampered.

Gu Kai watched the lightness in Shen Yuting’s eyes, and the smile spread on his lips. He joyfully said: “Yuting, congratulations on stepping out of your previous shadows. Just like the saying goes, no matter how good the man is, it’s all for naught if he doesn’t treat you well. Even if your current boyfriend isn’t as outstanding as Xiuchen, as long as he treats you well and you’re the only one in his heart, that’s all that matters.”

He paused for a moment, and Gu Kai added: “I won’t force you to introduce him to us, but, if at any time he bullies you or hurts your heart, you must tell me immediately. I, as your cousin, will help you vent your anger.”

Shen Yuting nodded emotionally: “Cousin, thank you.”

Gu Kai raised his eyebrows slightly, proclaiming proudly: “I’m your cousin, of course I won’t let you be bullied.”

“Cousin, I thought….”

Shen Yuting lightly bit her lips as a flood of emotions welled up in her heart. Her words were cut off by Gu Kai’s laughter: “What do you think? That now, when Ranran is back, your cousin wouldn’t care about you anymore? Yuting, you are you, and Ranran is Ranran. You have never been a replacement for her. In your cousin’s heart, you and Ranran are the same.”

“Cousin, sorry.”

Shen Yuting’s eyes were a bit moist.

The nicer Gu Kai was to her, the more she felt guilty. She felt her earlier behavior was too extreme, she had almost hurt Ranran. Fortunately, Mo Xiuchen wasn’t like other men. That night, his cold rejection to her confession was, in fact, the best thing.

“Silly girl, what are you apologizing for? I have never blamed you.”

Gu Kai jumped down from the desk and said with a smile: “Since you don’t have to accompany your boyfriend at noon, why not have lunch with your cousin instead?”

“Sure!”

Shen Yuting agreed readily.

In the Presidential Suite at a particular hotel on Bali Island

Wen Ran looked at Mo Xiuchen with a smile: “Xiuchen, can you lend me your phone for five minutes?”

Mo Xiuchen raised his eyebrow: “Ranran, were you so proactive just now just for this?”

Wen Ran glared at him, her little face turned a bit red.

“We’ve been here for several days, you can’t keep refusing to let me make a phone call? I just want to talk to my brothers and Xiaoxiao for a bit. Xiuchen, please!”

“Alright, if I don’t lend you the phone, you’ll probably label me as a tyrant or the like. However, I did like your proactive attitude just now. You should display it more often.”

Mo Xiuchen did not forget to pursue his benefits. Ranran’s performance and initiative earlier had pleased him.

“Give me the phone.”

Wen Ran pretended not to hear what he said and just stretched her hand towards him, demanding it in a dominant tone.

Mo Xiuchen turned his eyes to the phone lying around, teased: “Are you sure you want to call this way? You might regret it later.”

Only after hearing him did Wen Ran realize her current state, she explained: “I’ll get dressed.”

“Ha ha, Ranran, there’s no need to rush. I am giving you ten minutes to slowly get dressed. But, after making this phone call, you have to promise me we will stay here for ten more days. We can go back after we have had enough fun.”

“Alright!”

Wen Ran agreed readily. She found it strange why Mo Xiuchen suddenly brought her here and didn’t let her take her phone with her. He too hadn’t been seen contacting anyone these past days.

A hunch told her that something might have happened in G City.

She must make a phone call back in order to be able to play here with peace of mind.
